SOME of the legendary writers, says Tanner, report that Mexwald, viceroy of the western part of Mercia, and his wife Domneva, did, about the year 660, build a stately monastery here in honour of St. Oswald the king and martyr. It is more certain that, A.D. 909, Ethelred earl of Mercia, and the famous Elfleda, daughter of King Alfred, his countess, translating the relics of that canonized prince from Bardney to this place, founded here a religious House, from whence the monks being forced to fly in the Danish wars, it became a college of secular priests, which was accounted a free chapel royal, exempt from the jurisdiction of the archbishop of Canterbury, or the bishop of Worcester; but King William Rufus gave it to the archbishops of York in lieu of their claims to Lindesy and some parts of Lincolnshire, which they quitted to the bishop of Lincoln. b Fosbrooke says, "During the Anglo-Saxon æra, when the monastery seems to have had an intimate connexion with the Mercian palace, and the college devoted to the service of the kings, during their residence at Gloucester, its endowment appears to have been ample; for the canons complained that Thomas archbishop of York had given their estates to St. Peter's Abbey in his pretended restitution. The times were unfavourable to secular priests, and the priory was forced to yield to its lofty rival." d In 1153, Henry Murdac archbishop of York placed here regular Canons of the Order of St. Austin, putting over them one HUMPHRY, a religious of Lantony and a man of letters, as prior. The Prior of this House was summoned to parliament in the 21st of Edw. III. The archbishops of York so impoverished this House that in the 26th Hen. VIII. we find it valued at no more than 90%. 10s. 2d. Tanner says there were then no more than seven canons in it.h Fosbrooke has given the following List of the PRIORS of ST.

Rudder adds, "Most of the Priory has been long since demolished, but by the buildings yet remaining it seems to have been a small quadrangle, with a gate on the south side, and another on the north, leading to the church. adjoining.'

Oswald king of Northumberland, and there richly entombed it. It chanced that soon aftir the Conquest, a bishop of Lincolne, grete with the king, required other jurisdiction or lands in Lyndesey belonging to the seat of Yorke, for the which the king entreated the archbishop, being at that tyme also bishop of Worcester: whereupon the bishop of Yorke desyring the king to have the Colledge of S. Oswalde impropriate to the seate of Yorke, and so he had: whereupon he practised with the prebendaries of a new foundation, and that they should be channons regular. Some were content, some wold not; but the bishop brought his purpose to pass by power; and there instituted a house of channons regular, impropriating benefices unto them, and gyving them roylets of land, reserving the goodly lands to the chirch of Yorke, that at this time be possessid of it."

IN or near the Church of St. Giles, in Cambridge, says Tanner, Picot, a Norman lord of Bourne, and many years sheriff of Cambridgeshire, at the instance of Hugolina his wife, began a religious House for a prior and six canons,b A. D. 1092, which was twenty years after removed to a place on the other side of the river called Barnwell, by Pain Peverell, that famous soldier, who was standard-bearer to Robert duke of Normandy in the holy wars. Here he new built and enlarged the priory, in honour of St. Giles and St. Andrew, designing it for thirty canons of the order of St. Austin. Extracts from the Charters of foundation and refoundation are given by Dugdale, in the Appendix to the present Account; together with a confirmation-charter from King Henry the First. Pain de Peverell died before he had fully completed the number of thirty canons: William Peverell, however, confirmed his father's donations, adding half a hide of land in Brunne to their possessions; but, dying at Jerusalem, he left four sisters his co-heirs; the eldest of whom marrying Hamo Peche, the patronage of Barnwell Priory came into that family. Sir Gilbert Peche was a considerable benefactor toward the middle of the thirteenth century. Mr. Rutherforth, in the History printed in the Bibliotheca, has given a transcript of a charter of confirmation granted to the monks by King John. Dugdale has printed f App. Num. I. See also the Bibl. Top. Brit. vol. v. Acc. of Barnewell, pp. 10, 12. 8 Num. III. Other confirmations from Remigius bishop of Lincoln, from Hervey and Nigil bishops of Ely, and from Theobald archbishop of Canterbury, are given in the Bibliotheca. William bishop of Ely dedicated the conventual church 11 kal. May 1191. Rutherforth, p. 42. John de Fortibus dedicated the chapel of the Infirmary to the honor of St. Peter, A. D. 1222, and the chapel of St. Mary in 1229. Ibid. p. 43. Compare the App. to the present Account Num. II. Hist. in Bibl. Top. pp. 15, 16, 17. another from Henry the Third, confirming that of John." Rutherforth gives other charters from King Edward the First and King Edward the Second, with a second charter from the latter, whereby the prior and convent were freed from tallages for all their estate in Cambridge. Rutherforth, p. 62 to 74, is very minute upon the grants of property to Barnwell Priory, the whole of the possessions of which will be found comprized in Tanner's references which will presently be given, and in the abstract of the Ministers' Accompts of the 32d Hen. VIIIth." In the wars between Henry the Third and his Barons Richard King of the Romans was at one time quartered at Barnewell Priory. Richard the Second, in 1388, came to Barnewell and held a Parliament there. C The Prior of Barnwell is stated in Selden's Titles of Honour, p. 723, to have been summoned to Parliament in the 49th Hen. III. The following is a list of the PRIORS of BARNWELL, partly from Cole's Manuscripts in the Museum, partly from Rutherforth's Account, from the Harleian Register, and from Records. GEOFFREY was the first prior. He died about 1113. Caius, p. 11. calls him GEOFFREY DE HUNTINGTON. GERRARD was the successor of Geoffrey. RICHARD NORRELL. Rutherforth calls him NOEL: the Harleian Register NOREL. Cole says, upon his resignation after two years, HUGH DOMESMAN was elected, about 1115. ROBERT, surnamed JOEL, was elected about the year 1135. After holding the priorate thirty-five years he resigned on account of age. Another ROBERT OCCurs in 1197. WILLIAM Devonshire died 8 kal. Jan. 1213. He was buried in the cloister, "juxta ostium ecclesiæ in parte occidentali."d WILLIAM DE BEDEFORD was elected 10 kal. Nov. 1213, but deceased soon after. RICHARD DE BURGH, or DE BURGO, who succeeded, died the same year. LAURENCE DE STANFIELD, or STANESFELD, the next prior, held his office thirty-eight years. He built the Refectory, the Infirmary, the great Hall for guests, the Granary, Bake-house, Brew-house, Stable, the inner and outer gate, &c.; the chapel of St. Edmund, and very excellent barns. He was succeeded by HENRY DE EYA, about, 1251. He resigned from incapacity and debt in 1255; but remained in the priory for fourteen years before his death.f JOHN, or rather JOLANUS DE THORLEYE, Cole calls him SHOTLEY (probably by mistake), succeeded in 1256. He raised the number of canons to thirty; relieved the convent from debt; new built part of the cloister; and though he resigned, yet, afterwards, finished the greater part of the chapter-house and two sides of the cloister. SIMON DE ASCELLIS was the next prior. In his time, "A.D. 1287 quicquid ligneæ fabricæ in nobilissima Turri "SPIRITUAL Dioc. Lond. Porcio in eccl. de Chishelle Magna, 138. 4d. Dioc. Linc.

He surrendered his monastery to the king Nov. 8th, 1539: and obtained a pension of 67. as did his predecessor Smith of 201. a Prior Badcock afterwards farmed the priory lands under a lease from the crown. He died about the 2d year of Queen Elizabeth. year. A REGISTER of Barnwell Priory, a very fine volume upon vellum, was purchased in 1798 at the sale of Dr. Farmer's library, by Richard Gough, Esq. of Enfield, and is now preserved with Mr. Gough's Topographical Collection in the Bodleian Library at Oxford.
