(^

At a meeting of the Council of the Surtees Society, held in the
Castle of Durham on Tuesday, December Ist, 1868, Rev. C. T. Whitley
in the chair — ^it was

Resolved, That a fourth volume of the Testamenta Eboracensia

should be prepared by the Secretary, if possible, as one of the

publications of the Society for 1868.

James Kaine,

Secretary.

PEEFACE.

The fourth volume of the Testamenta Eboracensia
covers a period of about twenty-five years, and brings
the series down to the commcneement of the reign
of Henry VIII. It has been found impossible to
travel more quickly over a field which is so crowded
with interesting documents. At the same time, the
Editor has not scrupled to abridge his materials where
curtailment was practicable, and all formal and
valueless details have been generally discarded.

The next volume ought to extend, if possible, over
the reign of Henry VIII., but the reader will find
that after the beginning of the sixteenth century the
Wills preserved at York become gradually less in-
teresting. At the same time, as evidences for the
genealogist, they lose not a tittle of their value; nay,
that value increases as we near the period at which
the Heralds began to hold theu' Visitations. But we
may look in vain for the quaint verbiage of the pre-
ceding reigns, and for the minute enumeration of the
testator's wealth and substance which was previously
I so common.

The question has been asked more than once. Why
' is there not a glossary to each of these volumes of

I
I

"WUIb ? The reason is this. In a work peculiarly
devoted to genealogy it seemed inadvisable to intro-
duce among the illustrative notes any explanations
of dialects or language. The genealogical notes of
themselves take up all the space that could be spared
for illustration. And no glossary has been appended
to these volumes, because it is the intention of the
Society before long to take this subject in hand on a
much larger scale. Great preparations have already
been made for a glossary of northern words in use
prior to the reign of Queen Anne. To construct this,
the greater part of the volumes that the Society has
published vrill be laid under contribution, and the
work will be supplemented and illustrated by MS.
evidences of undoubted authority, and also, in some
cases, by the printed works of northern writers.

For the notes to which the initials of R. H. S. are
appended the Editor is indebted to the kindness and
local research of Mr. Skaife. That gentleman has
also added to the value of this volume by a capital
index, which he has prepared with his customary
skill. Nor must Messrs. Hudson and Buckle be
passed over. They are always ready to throw open
the treasures in their office for the benefit of this
Society, and the Editor has always been welcomed by
them with unvarying courtesy and attention.

for the men above sayd, in suche place as myn executours thynke

♦ Inasmuch as the volumes of the Testamenta Eboracensia contain almost all
the wills of the Scropes of Bolton and Masham, it has been thought proper to
supplement the series with two or three others which have been derived from
other sources. This will of Richard, third Lord Scrope of Bolton, has only
been known through some inaccurate and meagre extracts. It was also entered
in one of the missing Registers of the Archdeacons of Richmond.

The testator made his will during the siege of Rouen, and died in 1420, aged
only 27. His wife was a daughter of Ralph, Earl of Westmerland, and by her
he had two sons. (Scrope and Grosvenor Roll, 59, 60.)

f At Langley, which is a few miles distant from Durham, there are some
interesting remains of the old hall of the Scropes. The Eure's were a well-
known county of Durham family.

* The college of Wensley, dedicated in the honor of the Blessed Trinity, was
founded by the testator's grandfather, about twenty years before this time.

1 1 am able to make a few contributions towards a life of this distinguished
man. Nothing has hitherto been collected about him : —

He was a younger son of Sir Ralph Lumley by Eleanor, daughter of John Lord
Neville of Raby. (Surtees, ii. 162.) Fuller says that he was educated at Trin. Hall,
Cambridge (Hist. Univ. Cant. 48); at all events he was Master there in 1429 (Le
Neve, iii. 679), and Chancellor of the Univ. in 1427. (Ibid. iii. 600.) To Queen's
XUoU. he gave 200^. and many books (Lelandi Coll. v. 226), the same sum
and many books to Jesus Coll. in 1459: and in 1448 he gave 220^. towards the
building of the college, and a Bible in three volumes. (Hist. Univ. Cant. i. 246-7.)

On May 1, 1416, he was coll** to the deanery of Lanchester, co. Durham,
which he exch<i on May 22, 1417, with Mr. William Pelleson, for the rectory of
Anderby, co. Lincoln. (Reg. Langley at Durham, 95b.) On May 21, 1420, he
was insf* to the rectory of Warton, in Westmorland, which he res<* the next
year. (MS. Harl. 6978, 17a.) On 27 Mar., 1422, he was coll** to the archdeaconry
of Northumberland. TReg. Langley, 112 «.)

On Jan. 26, 1423-4, he was inst** to the rectory of Hawarden and the prebend of
Saltmarsh, at Howden, exche for them with Henry Merston, his rectory of
Charing. (Reg. Ebor. sede vac. 337 b.) On Dec. 12, 1424, he was inst<* to the
masterwiip of Bootham hospital, York, and a prebend at Osmotherley, in
exchange for his stall at Saltmarsh, with Robert Frende. (Ibid. 370 «.) In 1426
he was made precentor at Lincoln. (Le Neve, ii. 84.) This, together with the
archdeaconry of Northumberland, he exch<* on Nov. 8, 1427, with Robert Burton
for the rectories of Stepney, and Burmarsh in Kent (Reg. Langley, 133 a; New-
court, i. 739.) On May 9, 1429, he was ins" to the rectory of Baynton, co. York,
at the pres" of Matilda Lady Mauley. (Reg. Kempe, 7b.)

On Jan. 27, 1429-30, Martin V. made Lumley bishop of Carlisle^ and on Apr.
16, 1430, by leave of the archbishop of Canterbury, he was consecrated in the
chapel belonging to the hospital of St. Thomas at Eastbridge, near Canterbury,

by the archbP of York and the bp'of Norwich and Rochester. (Reg. Kempe, 17-18.)
On Dec. 3, previous, it was agreed in Parliament that the royal assent to his ap-
pointment should be given, the Duke of Gloucester and Lord Scrope objecting.
(Acts and Ord. of the Pr. Council, iv. 8.) On May 1, 1433, he had letters of pro-
tection to go to the Council at Basle. (Feed. x. 550.) On July 12, 1434, he was ap-
pointed to treat with James, king of Scotland (Ibid. 596), and he was afterwards
engaged in Scottish affairs. (Ibid. 621—629.) From 1447 to 1450 he was Lord
Treasurer of England. (Dugd. Chron. 64.) In 1449-50 he was translated to Lincoln,
and, on March 18, Thos. Chicheley, archdeacon of Canterbury, was ordered to
instal him. (MS. Harl. 6952, 82 a. ) He died in the same year and was bur<*
in the Charterhouse, London. (Coll. Top. iv. 309; Willis, iii. 57.)

The Constable cup, a relic of one of the old Constables of Richmond, was an
neirloom with the Scropes. It appears in the wills of the testator's father and
grandfather.

♦ The elder of the two daughters and co-heirs of Sir Robert Tiptoft. She
married Roger Lord Scrope, whose will is in Test. Ebor. i. 328 — 30. The will
of her son has just been given. After Lord Scrope's death she was mixed up
with several discreditable matrimonial intrigues. There is a suit against her
in the court of York, in 1405, brought by " John fitz John, alias dictus
Curraunt, domicellus," to whom she seems to have been married at Coveney, co.
Cambridge. This is probably John Niandser, who is mentioned in the Scrope
and Grosvenor Roll, and who murdered the rector of Wensley for opposing his
matrimonial designs. At the same time, another gentleman " John de Harwod,
esq. domicellus " claimed Lady Scrope's hand.

* By this is meant the college of the Vicars Choral incorporated by Henry V.,
Jnly 22nd, 1414. "The Northbrig" still spans the river " Ure," on the north
side of Ripon, not far from the site of the forgotten " Bedhowse," beside the

pital of St. Anne, still remains on the north side of the cathedral. J. R. W.

* The family of Coppendale was intimately connected with the history of
Beverley in the 14th and 15th centuries. It commences with John Thornton,
who took the name of Coppendale, probably from his birthplace, and who was a
rich merchant at Beverley. His will is dated on the feast of St. Peter and Paul,
1343, in which, singularly enough, he styles himself *' John Thorneton Coppen-
dale," of Beverley, merchant. To be bur. in the church B. M. near the tomb
of Margery his dan. He mentions Thos. son of Alice Gervays, his sister ; and John
Humberoolt, his son. To Adam his son he leaves his armour ; and two parts of
his ploughed land and meadow in Beverley and Woodmansey, which he has by
the feoff' of Wm. Ward of Osgodby and Joan his wife; to remain to the children
between his said son Adam and Margery his wife, dau. of Sir John de Hotham,
knt., jun., of Scorbro'. Alice his dau. Margaret his wife is an ex*. [Pr. 18th
July, 1343.] (Reg. Zouche, 309 ^».)

John Coppendale and Adam his son are mentioned occasionally as employed on
state services. (Oliver's Beverley, 285.)

Oct. 6, 1396. The will of Alice Coppendale, of Beverley, was proved and
adm. was granted to the son of Stephen C. and Thos. Tyrwhit, executors; on the

he was licensed to be non-resident for two years, to enable him to study. (Ibid. 8 a.)
In 1454 he was made the official of the archdeacon. (Ibid 27 b.) Coppendale died
in 1481-2, being at that time doctor of laws and prebendary of the stall at the
altar of St. Catherine, in Beverley minster. (Reg. Rotherham, 96 a.) To this stall

* The testatrix was one of the four daughters and co-heirs of Thomas de la
Hay of Spaldington. Hence it was that she found a resting-place in Selby
abbey. She had taken the vow of chastity after her husband's death. Thomas
Thwaites, according to a pedigree made by Dods worth, was the son and heir of
John Thwaites, whose wife, Jane Thornton, was a great heiress. John Thwaites,
son and heir of Thomas, had a son Thomas, who married Emma, daughter and
co-heiress of Nicholas Midelton, by whom he had Thomas and John Thwaites,
and Isabella, heiress of her brother, who married Sir William Fairfax, knight,
of Steeton.

John Thwaites, the father-in-law of the testatrix, was a lawyer. By will
dated Jan. 22, 1461-2, he desired to be buried in the church of Harewood.
Isabel his wife and Robert Sykerwham are his executors, and he desires them

* There was a suit in the Court of York in 1490 about this legacy : Isabella
Thwaites v. Henry Thwaites, her younger brother. Henry Thwaites brought the
following witnesses. John Eleson of Selby, a;t. 60, was in a certain chapel called
" ye parish church of Selby," with Alice Thwaites, when she gave a charter to
Henry her son, giving him certain lands. Roger Vincent of Mickle Smeaton,
8Bt. 80, and Hen. Stork of Hemingbro', say the same. William Thwaites of Little
Smeaton, set. 31, was there also, and says the lands were the manor of Little
Smeaton, and that he rode with his brother, at his mother's desire, to give him
seisin. John Clarvaux, of Smeaton, says the same.

On the other hand, John Garnet, rector of St. M. Castlegate, York, and others,
say that they were in the house of Alice Thwaites in Water-lane, York, and
heard her promise her daughter Isabel £40 towards her marriage, to be paid
out of Little Smeaton within four years after her decease. A decree was made
in favour of the lady.

• t A. son of Robert Hildyard, esq. of Winestead in Holdemess, by a co-heiress
of the knightly family of Hilton. On Oct. 6, 1453, under the title of Robert

Elizabeth Hildyard of the same place. (Reg. Test. ii. 283.) He was twice
married. By his first wife, Catherine co-heiress of Thomas do la Haj of Spald-
ington, he left issue. His second wife was Agnes, daughter of Alexander
Creyke and widow of John Middleton, of Beverley. Her will occurs afterwards.
The Hildyards are a yery ancient Yorkshire family. A piece of evidence has
occurred tome in the shape of a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court at York in 1370,
which places their early history on a new and satisfactory footing. It turns on
the legality of a marriage between two cousins, which is best represented in a short
tabular pedigree. One of the witnesses says that the " stirps " of the family
came from Hildyard in Essex. The accuracy of this account is confirmed by
that invaluable piece of Yorkshire history, the Liber de Melsa. (See vol. ii.
218-19.)

Hildyard, and his heirs, he leaves all his lands, &c. in the town of Blyburgh.
To his cousin, Robert Hildyard, he leaves his interest in the grange of Crosby.
[Pr. Jan. 22, seq.'] (Reg. Test. Cap. Ebor. i. 149 a&.) He was a successful lawyer.
The will of the testator's father is at Doctors' Commons, and runs as follows :
Aug. 23, 1428. Robert Helierd, esq., of Scalby co. York. To be buried in
the Priory church B. M. Overey in Southwark before the image B. M. V.
near the door of the chapel B. M. V. I forgive Sir Richard Pickering, knight,
my nephew, 6 marks. To the fabric of the chapel of Scalby, 6 marks. To

as Jllizabeth) ; she executrix, and Sir Robert Hilton supervisor; and he to
enfeoff John Helierd, my son, of lands in Yorkshire to the value of 100«. per
annum. [Pr. Sept. 3.] (Reg. Luffenham, 74 a.)

The descent from the above-mentioned pedigree to the testator's father is
fairly given in Poulson's Holdemess, ii. 221.

Robert Hildyard of Scalby mentioned his son John in his will. On Oct. 12th,
21st Henry VI., Sir John Constable, of Halsham, knight, conveys to Robert
Hildyard, son and heir of Robert Hildyard, esq., lauds, &c. in Amall, Riston,
and Hay ton, which he has in conjunction with Sir Richard Pickering, knight,

IX. THE WILL OF DAME JOAN BOYNTON OF YARM.

[Reg. Test. v. 351 J.]

In the name of God, Amen. I dame Jane Boynton,t at
Ya3om, beyng in gude mynde, the vij daye of Aprill, the yere
of our Lord God m.cccclxxxvj, makes my testament in this
manor. Furst, I wit my saule to God Almighty, and to His
moder cure Lady Seynt Marie, and to all the holy Seyntes in
heven, and my body to be beryd in the queere of the Firzes of

and John his brother, now deceased, and John Elrington, who still survives, as
feoffees of John Hildyard deceased, brother of the said Robert. On Aug. 21,
1 Edward IV., Elizabeth Pickering, daughter and heiress of John Pickering,
late of Scalby, gent., quitclaims to Robert Hildyard, senior, her right in lands
&c. in Scalby, Barmston, Amall,and Riston, which lately belonged to her father.
I am indebted for this information to the Rev. William Hildyard, of Market
Deeping.

* This is the well-known " Robin of Redesdale," as he was called, so famous
in the Wars of the Roses. On June 9, 1601, administration of Sir Robert
Hildyard, of Wiested (Winestead) was granted to Stephen Hildyard of the same
place. (Beg. Test. vi. 3 J.)

t The testatrix, who was an aged lady, was a daughter of James Strangeways
of Skelton esq. (?) Her first husband was Conan Barton, Esq., of Whenby, who
died in 1436. After his death she remarried Christopher Boynton, Esq. of
Sedbury,near Richmond. (Test. Ebor. ii. 215-17.)

On Dec. 2nd, 1455, Archbishop William Booth allowed her the privilege of an
oratory at Sedbury, she being then a widow (Reg. William Booth.) On Apr. 30,
1463, the Archdeacon of Richmond granted permission "honorabili mulieri
dominaB Johannse, relictaj Christoferi Boynton armigeri, nuper dcfuncti," to have
service in an oratory, wherever she chose. (Reg. Archid. Richmond, 42 J.) On
March 19, 1473-4, Archbishop Neville granted the same privilege to dame Joan
Boynton of Yarm for 3 years (Reg. Neville, 163 fl.) She seems to have spent
the latter years of her life at Yarm in works of charity and devotion.

• There can be no doubt but that we have here the grandfather of Lawrence
and Alexander Nowell, the two celebrated scholars, Roger Nowell of Read in
the parish of Whalley. His first wife is said to have been a daughter of Thomas
Hesketh, esq., from whom he was divorced. His second (the mother of his
children) was grand-daughter of John Towneley, of Towneley, esq. In the
pedigree in Whitaker's Whajley (3rd ed., 264-5) the children mentioned in this
will are not given, and Lawrence and Alexander Nowell are said to be the sons
of John Nowell, esq., of Read, a son of Roger and Grace Nowell.

There have been Nowells in the neighbourhood of Wakefield till very recent
times. I find the name in the West Riding prior to the date of this will. On
Feb. 3, 1456-7, Robert Nowell of Hatfield desires to be buried in the church
there. He mentions Matilda his wife, John Nowell chaplain, Richard, and
William his sons (Reg. Wm. Booth, 267 J.) See also Test. Ebor. iii. 181 w.

About this time a great Lancashire lady died at Wakefield, and it is quite
possible that the testator was connected in some way with her household.

Nov. 22, 1488, adm. Dame Isabell Aysheton of Wakefield to William Mirfield
of Howley, Esq., and Thomas Wentworth, of Elmsall, gent. (Reg. Test. v. 345a.)

maiden name was Eland, so that she was a native of the West Riding.

* A hitherto unknown will of the head of the great baronial house of Grey-
stock. For an account of the family, see Hodgson's Northumberland, ii. part ii.
378-9 ; Coll. Top. ii. 160-1. The evidences at York add materially to the informa-
tion there given.

The will of his, the testator's, father, who died in 1436, is in Wills and
Inv. i. 84-6.

In 1435 the testator married Elizabeth daughter of William Lord Fitzhugh.
(Test. Ebor. iii. 327-8.) The marriage licence shows the affinity of the two
contracting parties. He is said to have married, secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of
John Terell, (Coll. Top. ii. 160,) but his widow's name was Beatrix (Hatcliffe),
and she re-married Robert Constable, esq., serjeant-at-law, in 1490. (Test.
Ebor. iii. 355.) She survived him, and, taking the vows of chastity in 1501-2,
(Ibid. 363) made her will in 1505. This is printed afterwards.

The testator was buried in the noble monastery of Kirkham, of which, by
inheritance, he was the founder. The chaplets of Greystock still surmount the
beautiful gateway of the Priory. The ancient manor of Hinderskelf, in which
the Greystocks lived, has now changed its name to Castle-Howard.

According to the Coll. Top. the testator had many children. John, one of his
sons, made a splendid alliance with Cecily daughter of William Herbert, Earl of
Pembroke. (Test. Ebor. iii. 349.) This was not known before.

Richard Greystock, another of his sons, took holy orders. On March 10,
1463-4, he was collated by Archbishop Booth to the rectory of Wheldrake, which
he resigned in Feb. 1486-7. (Reg. Wm. Booth, 73*.) On May 7, 1465, the
Dean and Chapter of York, sede vacante, granted him letters dimissory. (Reg.
aede vacante, 455 ft), and on April 7 in the next year he was allowed to be absent
from his living two years. (Reg. Geo. Neville, 53 a.) On Dec. 3, 1481, he was
instituted to the rectory of Brompton, in Pickering Lythe (Reg. Rotherham, 158«.)
which he held till his death. (Ibid. 92 ft.) On Feb. 15, 1476-6, he was installed
prebendary of Welton Brinkhall, at Lincoln. (Le Neve, ii. 229.) On Feb. 24,
1486-7, he was made succentor canonicomm at York (Reg. Rotherham, 102 ft.),
and he died holding that office in 1496.

The following notices are illustrative of the Greystock pedigree. Nov. 25,
1346, nuncupative will of Elizabet de Graystok. To be buried in the church of
Butterwick. Sir Ralph de Hastings, knt. sen., and Richard de Neville, rector
of Scotton, executors. They renounce, and William de Kelk administered.
(Reg. Zouche, 305 ft.) She was a Neville, and the widow of Robert fitz Ralph,
lord of Graystock. According to what is called the Greystock Roll, which is
now before me, " Iste Robertus sepultus est apud Botyrwyk." At Butterwick
there is an e^gj of a knight, which may perhaps commemorate him. Some
modem churchwardens, anxious to leave a memorial of their taste and skill
even more striking than usual, have set the statue up against the chancel wall,
whilst, above the head of the figure, they have made an arch of two fragments
of the rib of a whale. To add to their beauty the bones are duly white-washed I

On Aug. 3, 1473, administration of Isabella lady Greystock, late wife of Sir
Ralph Greystock, knt., was granted to Sir Henry Vavasour, knt., Thomas
Thwaites, and William Scargill, sen., esqs. (Reg. Test. iv. 199 ft.) Perhaps she
was a wife of the testator.

was subsequently adopted by two members of the same family.

The testator was a son of John Dalton, of Hull, who made his will Sept. 9,
1458, desiring to be buried in the chapel S. Trin. before St. Catherine's altar.
" FabricsB ejusdem capellae, videlicet cuidam operi noviter sedificato ex boriali

wife, and Wm. Dalton his brother, executors, f Pr. 20 Oct., 1458.] (Reg. Test,
ii. 381.)

The following, hitherto unknown, inscription on his tomb is taken from
Dodsworth's notes in Bodley's library, clx., 227-8. " Hie jacent Joliannes

occur on the list of Mayors.

The testator was Sheriff of Hull in 1482, and Mayor in 1487 and 1495. (Gent's
Hull, 104-5.) Dodsworth, as above, gives the inscription on his tomb, ** Pray

dyed so ye x day of August a° Domini m^cccifixciiij'*, (^?1498J ichose sole God

with that given by Gent. He married Catherine, daughter of Robert Alcock,
of Hull, merchant, a niece of John Alcock, the famous Bishop of Ely. (Test.
Ebor. iii. 295.) His widow re-married Robert Harrison, a wealthy merchant of
Hull. His will is part of the Dalton series, and has the preamble of the present
will-

* The testator was the son of Thomas del Carr or Kerr, draper, York, who was

the City in 1433, Chamberlain in 1438, Sheriff in 1440-1, Lord Mayor 1448 and
1456, and M.P. in 1448. R. H. S. The testator and his father were great bene-
factors to St. Sampson's church, and to the poor, &c. of the city.

On June 1, 1489, in a very interesting foundation deed/ Thomas Simpson,
executor of the testator's will, established a chantry at St. Sampson's for the

robbing the Bishop of Hereford. It is quite possible that our bishop fell into
the elntchea of the Bamsdala rovers and loat his money. Unde nomen et carmen.

f This is taken from the original roll. The date is Sept. 6, 1488.

Thomas Creyke was a son of Alexander Creyke, of Beverley. By will dated
in 1466, desired to be bnried in the church of the Friars Minors, London,
if he died there ; if he died nearer home, in the church B.M. at Beverley. To
his daughter Margaret, for her marriage, 40 marks. To his son Thomas, " pro
inventione sua in curia," 40 marks. To his son Roger, lands in Beverley, worth
4 marks per annum. " Messuagium meum in Kyllom, quod nuper fuit Will. Dryng,
in animae meae exonerationem, restituatur rcctis haeredibus ejusdcm Willelmi."
Wife Isabel, son Thomas, and George Scalby, executors. [Pr. 4 Sept. 1465.]
(Reg. Test. iv. 267&.)

The wife of Alexander Creyke was Isabel, daughter of Thomas White of
Beverley, clothier. Her will was proved at York in 1488. (Test. Ebor. ii. 167.)

Thomas Creyke, the eldest son, seems to have been a lawyer. Ho left a wife
and three children, as appears from his inventory, Robert, Anthony, and Agnes.

CO. Lincoln. (I question this marriage, as it is not mentioned by the testator
when he mentions the other.) 2. to Margaret, daughter of Sir William
Ryther of Ryther; but it does not appear that he left children by either. His
wealth was dispersed among his relatives and friends.

Appended to this will is another, disposing of his real estate, of which I give
the following summary. It is of great value. " My tenements in Stanley and
Wakefield lately belonging to John Gargrave ; my ten**, in Glusbume which I
acquired from Wm. Claydon and his wife; my ten*«. in Fishlake and elsewhere
which I acquired of Thomas Devyas; my ten**, in Bramwith, which I acquired of
John Aleyne ; my ten", in * Wolwro,* which I acquired of Wm. Beamounde of
Horbury; all of the annual value of 14 marks; to be sold, and the remainder of
the fine of 400Z. due to the king to be paid. Five ten*", in Doncaster in the
Market-street; one tenement in Scot-lane; the ten**, in which Thos. Ra3mer and the
wife of Thos. Corior dwell; two ten*", opposite the com market to the south; and
those new-built ten*", on the north of the church-yard B.M. Magd. in Doncaster;
four acres of land in Newton, which I acquired of Wm. Netilton, and that piece
of meadow behind the Grey Friars, and six acres and a half of meadow in
Bentley, which I acquired of — Boswell, to be held to support a chaplain and
his successors at the altar of St. Peter in the church B.M., Magd., to celebrate
for ever for my soul, and those of Richard and Elizabeth my parents, Margaret,
dau. of William Rither, knt., my late wife, and my brothers Oliver, Roger, and
Thomas, and the souls of all those whose goods I have wrongfully got, or wrong-
fully or negligently spent, knowingly or not, or those that I have unduly converted
to my own use. I will that Edward Copley, son and heir of my brother Thomas
Copley, be 25 before he get anything of mine, and then he to have my ten**,
in Wadworth, Wilsick, Loversall, Warmsworth, and Doncaster, to him and his
heirs male — with remainder to Wm. Copley of the Middle Temple, jun., and his
heirs male. The said Edward and Isabel his sister, until their marriage, and
their lands, to be in the custody of my ex""". John Copley, my eldest nephew,
the son of Lionel Copley, to have to himself and his heirs male my tenements in
Osset, and the lands and rents which I lately acquired from John Gargrave,
called * Norwodes Magrode and Miggel6yhald," my ten*", in par. Berwick and
Hillom, and my ten*", in Drighlington, Adwalton, Pontefract, Ferry, Moorhouse,
Warmfield, and Snytal, paying yearly to Robert Copley, of London, and Richard
and Henry C. his brothers 40*. per ann. each. I will that the said John re-
ceive into his house as domestic servant Wm. Gargrave, jun. and I will that he
have for doing so £4 per annum out of my ten*", in Southwood and Hallrodes,
which belonged to Wm. Gargrave, sen., father of the said Wm. Adam son of
the said John C. Wm. C. of the Middle Temple, jun., to have my lands and ten**,
in Swathsey and Ikelington, co. Kent, and my manor called Overhall in Box-
worth. My ten*", in Adburton, co. Essex, to be sold, and the money to be divided
between Wm. Copley of the Middle Temple, and Wm. C, son of Robert C., my
godson, that they may pray for me.

in 1490. (Fabric Rolls, 283.)

The subdean had three brothers; Richard, who had a son, Robert Pearson,
chaplain; Nicholas, of York, dyer; Chamberlain, 1474; Sheriff 1476-7. He died
Apr. 30th, 1480, and was buried at St. Martin's, Micklegate. (R. H. S.) Will

(Reg. Test. v. 176a.)

Robert Pearson, the third brother, was rector of Cowthorpe. He resigned this,
when, on Apr. 11, 1471, he was instituted to the rectory of Kirkdeighton. (Reg.
Neville, 130 J.) He died in 1498. (Reg. Rotherham, 138 a.)

* Mr. Wm. Moreton, of York, was ordained subdeacon at York, March 7th,
1443-4. (Reg. Kempe, ad finem.) He is probably the same person who was
proctor at Oxford in 1445, being a member of Balliol college. (Le Neve, iii. 482.)
On 24th July, 1453, he was collated to the chancellorship on the death of Mr.
John Kexby (Reg. Wm. Booth, 30a.), and on July 6th, 1465, he was presented
to the stall of Bole. (Reg. Geo. Neville, 16.) On 9 Nov. 1461, he resigned the
rectory of Thornton in Pickering Lithe; and on the following day he was insti-
tuted to the rectory of Scrayingham, on the presentation of the King. (Reg. Wm.
Booth.) This he held at his death.

On Nov. 4th, 1430, a William Morton was instituted to the vicarage of Rother-
ham. (Reg. Kempe, 354 a.) Between 1452 and 1459 William Moreton was rector
of Mirtley cum Manningtree, diocese London. (Newcourt, ii. 422.) From 1462
to 1466, William Moreton held the living of All Saints, Rothwell. (Bridges'
Northants. ii. 70.) On March 3rd, 1449-50, a William Moreton, clerk, super-
visor of the works at Calais and its Marches, had letters of protection to go
abroad in the train of Sir Richard Vernon, knt., treasurer of Calais. (Feed. x.
262.) I cannot positively identify any of these persons with the chancellor of
York.

On Dec. 10, 1466, Mr. William Moreton, S.T.P., chancellor of York,made his will,
desiring to be buried in the nave of the minster, on the north side of St. William's
tomb. '*Lego contra haereticos et Sarasenos, ad defensionem et muniminem

* Thomas sixth lord Scrope of Masham, who was bom in 1460 and died in

senectute constitutus, de miseria et brevitate hujus vitse cogitans,
animadverterem per dierum circulum et annorum revolutionem
diem mortis imminere, quern nullus mortalium poterit praeterire,

• The widow re-married Sir Henry Wentworth. The incnmhent of Escrick
was commanded to marry them in the chapel within the manor house at Deighton
on Oct. 22nd, 1494. (Reg. Rotherham, 82 J.)

t There is little, if anything, known of the testator in the North. This will
shews that he was a benefactor to his University, and that he was a scholar as
well as a devout Christian. It is a remarkably striking document.

I shewed this will to my late kind and lamented friend, to whom Cambridge
owes so much, Mr. C. H. Cooper, and he sent me the following illustrative notices
of the testator: — Jan. 30, 1473-4, Eobert Bclamy, bachelor in decrees, was insti-
ttued to the church of Malton, co. Cambridge, on the presentation of Sir Thomas
Tyrell, knt. (MS. Baker, xxx. 60.) King's Hall, of which he was a fellow, had
been founded by Edward III., and was by Henry VIII. absorbed into his great
foundation of Trinity College. The fellowships, 32 in number, were in the gift
of the Crown. No one appreciated more than Mr. Cooper the invaluable infor-
mation that may be derived from wills.

In the margin of the register in which the will occurs are the words Nota pro
jurisdictione domini contra dictum hospitale S. Leonardi. This refers to the
question of privilege.

This will IS also registered at Doctors' Commons.

XXXVIT. THE WILL OF MR. WILLLA.M POTEMAN, ARCHDEACON OF

THE EAST RIDING.

[Reg. Rotheram, 352 a.]

Febr. 8, 1492-3. Willelmus Poteman,* archidiaconus Est-
ridding in eccl. metropolitica Ebor. et canonicus residentiarius
ejusdem. Sep. in eccl. Ebor. prope capellam ubi recolendse

* The testator was a doctor of laws, a scholar, and an ecclesiastic of wealth
and high position.

On Nov. 9, 1469, he became warden of All Sonls, Oxford, having been a little
before the principal of the halls of St. George and Woodcock, and moderator of
the school of Cesarean law. In the same year he was presented by his college
to the rectory of Stanlake, and from 1459-60 to 1464 he was rector of Elmelej
(Hist. Univ. Oxon. iv. 268. Newcourt, i. 210.) On Angnst 21, 1460, he was
collated to the rectory of Roding Alta in Essex (Newcourt ii. 501), which he
held for a short time. On Feb. 9, 1466-6, he became prebendary of Empingham
at Lincoln, and continued so for nine years. (Le Neve, ii. 147.) In 1466 his
college presented him to the rectory of Treng. (Hist. Univ. Oxon. iv. 268.)

Whilst Poteman was warden of All Souls, George Neville, bishop of Exeter,
was chancellor of the University. When that prelate was translated to York
in 1466, Poteman found in him a munificent patron, and followed him into the
Nbrth. In that year Poteman resigned several of his southern benefices, viz.,
the wardenship of All Souls, the rectory of Chelmsford, and the stall of Sneat-
ing at London. (Newcourt, i. 210.) At York he was a canon in residence, and
held the following posts in the church of York ; the stall of Weighton to which
he was collated Feb. 22, 1466-7. (Reg. Geo. Neville, 5 a.) This he gave up when
admitted on Sept. 25, 1470, to that of Bamby. (Acta Capit. sub anno.) On
Sep. 25, 1470, he was made archdeacon of Cleveland (Ibid.), and was so until
1484. On Jan. 29, 1474-5, he was collated to the stall of Strensall, which he
held till he died. (Reg. Geo. Neville, ii. ia.)

. Be iieli other preferment in the diocese. On March 30, H67, archbishop
KeviUe made Futeman provost of Beverley, in which office he died. (Ibid 5b,)
Be also institnted him on Jan. 2, 146S-(!, to the rectorr of Settrington, which,
with tlie stall of Bamby, hs gaie up in 1470, io exchange for the archdeacouiy
of Clereland. (Ibid. 27 i.) The archbishop admitted him to a prebend at Hem-
ingborongh on Deo. 27, 14Gfi. {Ibid 87 b.) On Not. 15, 1*68, he bocama ticar-
general to John Sherwood, archdeacon of Kicbmond. (Reg. arebid. Hicbmond,
6Sa. ft.) Id addition to these preferments be was in man; ways connected with
the «ee of York. In 1466 be was official of the court. (Beg. Nerillc.) On
Jnna 8, 1475, the archbiahop made him Bupcrvisor of all his hooeea, manors, and
warrens in Yorkshire (Ibid, ii, IS a); and, on three several occaaions, viz., on
April 3rd, 1467, March 2nd, 1474-5, and Jnne 8, teg., he appointed him his vicar-
generaL (Ibid. 90a et teq.) Indeed it is impossible to examine the register of
aTcbhishop Neville withoot seeing that the management of the diocese of York
was chiefly entmstcd to Foteman's care.

After Ibe death of arcbbiBhop Neville, Poteman was not forgotten by his anc-
ceeeorsin the see. On Feb. 14, 1477-8, be was made prebendary of Nnnwick atBipon
(Beg. Lanr. Booth, 13s), and master of the hospital of B.M. Magdalee in the same
town in July, 1479. (Ibid. 52*.) Tbrice.viz. on 30th Ang. 1478, 18th Sept. 1480,
and in Ang. 1485, be wsa made ofBcial of the court of York (Beg. Booth and
Botberbam), and once, on Sept. 18, 1480, be was made vicor-general to arch-
biabop Rotherham. (Reg. Kotherham, la, *.) On Jan. 13, 1484-6, he was made
archdeacon of the East Riding (Ihid. 98a), an office whiii he filled during his
life. Oq March IS, 1471-2, Poteman was appointed to treat with the conmiis-
Binners of Scotland abont a truce. (Fted. xi. 748, Rot. Scot. ii. 434.) On May 16,
1473, he bad the charge of ponishing those who broke the truce. (Ibid. xi. 776,
Bot ScoL ii. 437.) On Feb. 20, 1474-5, he was made a commissioner to settle
the dispute about the fisheries in the Esk. (Bot. Scot. ii. 451.) On Ang. 20,
14S4, he was made a justice of peace and qoomn for Bipon. (Reg. Botberbam,
SI4a.) And on Sept. 12, 1488, be was again appointed an ambassador to treat
for peace with Scotland. [Bot. Scot. ii. 487.)

I find that Poteman was an execntor of the wills of archbishop Neville and
Balpfa lord Greyatock. Me had a similar dntr to do for Hen^ earl of North-
umberland, who died in 1 4Sa, and who left ta his " gossep, Mr. Wm. Poteman, a
tonne of wine of Goacoigne ycrelie dnrjng my lyre & hia," and, after the earl's
decease, " two tonnes." (Teat. Ebor. iii. 308.) He was also a henefactac to York
nunater. (Fabric Bolls, 217, 231,)

* I can find no record o( any monument \o Poteman; and it is not known
exactly where archbishop NeviHc was interred.

t Among other gifts and privileges Richard in. "ordcigned 100 preata to be
iu the chnrcho of Yorko." (MS. Harl. 433, 12«.) Six altars for the use of these
priests were eroded in 14B4 (Fabric Bolls, 87), and a house or college for their
reception seoms fo have been begun, it not completed. It was evidently pulled
down and the materials sold on Richard's denth.

* John Sendale was a great man in the diocese of York, nnder archbishops
Kempe and William Booth. He held many offices. He was the founder of a
chantry dedicated to the Holy Trinity in Ripon minster.

f On March 14, 1494-5, Mr. John Poteman was ordained snb-deacon at York;
deacon on April 4, and priest on April 18, in the same year. (Reg. Rotherham,
ad Jinem.') He was rector of Middleton-on-the- Wolds.

I Mr. Richard Greystock has been already mentioned.

§ This, I suppose, is Water or Ferry Fiyston in Yorkshire. Poteman is an old
name is Yorkshire. In 1284 Nicholas Poteman of Clemen thorp, son of Adam,
was a benefactor to the nunnery there. (Drake's Eboracum, 247-8.) He is
mentioned as holding lands in Clementhorp in a charter by which Thomas de
Grimston, rector of Warton near Kendal, granted land to the vicars choral at
York. (Orig. cart, penes Vic. Chor. Ebor.)

II For an account of him see Test. Ebor. iii. 281-2.

4 He was provost of Beverley from 1458 to 1466, and died bishop of Exeter
in 1478.

whome I make myn executorea. Wittenesaes Robert Syngler,

* The last of an old HolclerneBS family, Martin of the Sea, or at Sea, is aaid to
haro been kniglited by the Earl of North nmberland v.hilst serving in Scotland
fai 1482. (PonlHDQ'H HolderaoBs, i. 198.) In 1471 he had taken an active part in
oppoiiing Edward lY. aft«r he landed at Ravenspnrn. (Itestorotion of King
Edward IV., Camden 8oc. 1838. p. 4.)

In 1480, Martin de la ^a and Elizabeth llawley were niairied. (Test. Ebor.
iii, 344.) This waa perhaps a son of the testator who died ronng and childless.
The estate of Bannatoa, which had come to the testator tbmngh his mother,
passed away with his daughter to the Boynbms, who etill poesees it. I saj
nothiog aboat the names of the testator's cbildreo or wife. The pedigree of the
family in Ponlson is wretched ; bnt it is perfection when we compare it with
that of the family of lioynton which immediately socceeda it. There is a fine
moBument to the testator in Barmatoo chtirch.

When Sir Martin opposed Edward IV, he was greatly assisted by a priest of
the name of John Weaterdale. (Leland, Collect, ii. G03,) He was institnted
vicar of Kcyingham in Holdemeaa Oct. 3rd, 1467, and was ao nntil 1479.
(Hag. Geo, Neville, 9flu.) On Jonc 15, 1JS4, John Westerdale of Beverley was
ordained priest at York. (Keg. Wm. Booth.) He ia probably the person who ia
mentioned in the will of Mr. William WesWrdalo, registrar of the Conrt of Vork,
in 1474. (Test. Ebor. iiL 210.)

f On 8 Dee. 1486, dan John Nacnr, chaplain, was institnted to the rectory of
Sarmston on the death of Mr. Edward Ruutb, and the presentation of Sir
Martin del See. (Iteg. Rotherham, HGu.)

• The tsBtator was probably a collateral ancestor of the poet Wordsworth.
He was institnted to the viearage of Peniston on Feb. 7, 14G8-B, on the death of
Mr. Kobert Polen (Beg. Wm. Booth, 13a.), and held it for nearly forty yeara.

Robert Wordsworth of Penieton was ordained acolyte April 2, 1467 ; mb-
deacon Jane 11 ', deacon Sept, 24; priest Dec. IT, all in the same year. (Reg.
Wm. Booth.) It will be seen that the WordswortliB were a clerical family.

following inscription; — Eoc opm Jiebat a" itemjni m°ceccc»sxv°, ex mmptu

• A great lawyer, and the head of an old YnrkHhiro house. For his grand-
father's will, Sir Rohflrt BoutliSo, see Teat. Ebor. i. 118-19. His (ather, Gaj
Roncliffe, was recorder of Toik, and bj hia wife Joan, danghtcr of Thoaiaa
Burgh of Kirtlington, Notts, he had a large family. (Test. Ebor. ii. 338.) Brian
!EoncliSe WBB for man}' feoroimeof the barons of the excbeaaer. (Fosb's Judges,
v. 71-2.) There is mnch abont him and his fwnilj in the Plnmpton Cmre-
spondence, his only child, John Bonctiffe, having married an heiress of tbnt
honae. Sir Brian Boncliffe'a wifo was Jane, danghlcr of Sir Richard Hamerton.
His will is an interesting docnment, and shows him to bare been not only a man
of wealth and intelligence, bat of pietj aa well. It will be read with mach
interest. He was prood of his family, of which he was the most worthy member.

t The wi!l of John Bnrgh of Cowthorpo, esq., relatiye to bis estates, is dated
May Si, 1134, at London. He desires Sir Sobert Booa of Ingmanthorpe, kiiL,
Mr. Bc^er Bnrgh, oierk, Hngh Ardem, clerk, and Thomas Ardern, gen., bis
feoffees of hia lands in the tonntiea o£ York and Westmerland, to enfeoff Isabel!

* To this little village the testator was n noble benefactor. In addition to
many other kind offices lie reboilt the parish church. On Not. 2S, 1155, arch-
biabop William Booth issued a commission to Mr. John Sendale, canon ol York,
Mr. William Langton, bacc. leg., Mr. Boger Bnrgh, bate, deer., Mr. John
Wonloy, in utr. jar. bacc., and dan John Howinghani, vicar of Biltou, to inqoiro
into the following case. Brian Roacliffe, patron of the living of Cowthorpe, has
sent a petition to the archbishop " quia eccl. par. do Colthcmt procni a villa do C.
abolim erecta et lediGcata, ac via inter dictiun eecl, et villam maltnm aqnosa,
Intosa at nociva, eundo et redenudo esistit," that, therefore, he may be allowed to
poll the old one down, and ont of the old and new materials erect a new church
m the village at his own cost. In the mean while he asks that the parisbioaers
may bear service, and have the nsnal ritea performed in a cbapel within the
manor honso of the said Brian at Cowthorpe, until the new chnrih is fioiiihod. The
Ctanmissionara report f aronrably, and on Feb. 13, 14E5-fi, the archhiahop sanctions
the scheme, and grants an indulgence of 40 days to all those who assist the work.
CBeg. Wm. Booth, 184-6.) On Aag. 17, ItBB, the archbishop desired his Bnffrogau,

* The BradiordB were a good Weat Biding family, and were for a long time
tbe owners of Heatlt hall, uoar Wubelield.

On Dec. 16, 1474, William Bradford, par. Wannfield, makes hia will. He
orders that oat of his lands in FresloD Jacklyn, Featheraton, and Aykoton, a
chaplain be foond for seven years, three of whieh are to b« at Warmlield, and

Surrey, Nicholaa Carren, Thonma Brown, William Botbwell, John Lake, wm.,

With Brian, the father of George Bradford, the line of Bradford of Stanley,
in the Visitation of 1584, romniencea.

John Bradford, the testator, was the " son John " mentioned in the will of
William Bradford. A William Bradford wa^ John's conain and heir. I observa
that in these wills " consin and heir" gGncrally means grandson; but it is
capable, of course, of a far wider iiLter|)retatioo.

The dispoaition of the testalnr's lands forms a port of his will. I give it in an
abridged form.

" I have made aaCate of all my tandes, etc., in Warmefeld, Heth, Sharreston,
Walton, Sandal!, & in the parishe tberof, Wakefield, Bradford, or in the parisbe

Henry Conyera is ptohably identical with Henry Conyera of Weatlftthes In
Cleveland, esq. who mnde hia will Jnne 10, 152!l, in which he deeirod to be |
buried "before the Rmcijix in the chapell of Wborletoo." He mentions hiawifii ,
Jane, his aans Gawen and ThomSiB, anrl his daughter, the wife of Soger Pacokc
[Pr. 9 July, 1629.] {Reg. Test. ix. 453d.)

Hobort Conyera was of Danby-upon-Yoro, and married Anne danghter and
heiresfl ai Thomas Momitford of Hackforlh, esq. William Canjcrs of Danby
(mentioned in this will) was probahly one of his sons. Simon, son and heir of
Robert Conyera of Danby, married Elizabeth second danghter and co-heiress of
Thomas Folthorpe of Hipswell, and had by her an only child, Margaret, who
became the wife of Henry Scrope, esq. of Spennithome. (MSS. Taylor).

Of Philip Conyera I know nothing. Margaret Ascongh, the testator's aistor,
was probably the wife of one of the Ascoughs of Potgrange or Bedalo. Tho
marriage is new to that pedigree.

Dnrham, iii 190.)

1 Of Stokealey, tlie nncle of tho teatator. See bis will in 1497.

§ I do not know vrith which of tho bouses of Rawson the testator was con-
nected. Possibly he ia the person mentioned in the will of Thomas Bawson,
who styles himself a member of the fraternity B. M. V. within the chnreh of
Easingwold. He mentiooa hla slater Elizabeth, his parents William and Joan
Kawson, and leaves to bis brother William, if he lives, and becomes a priest, his
best book. Doted May U, 1451, and proved June 2, 14q2. (Beg. Test. ii. 24Ta.)
A WilliamBawaoQ, S. T.F.was vice-chancellor of Cambridge in 1492. He is
probably the same person as Ibe testator.

The testator does not apjKai in Mr. Uonter's list of tbc provosts of Botherham
college, nor ia there any appoiutmeot of him as anch in archbishop RotbcrbBUi's
Beg;iBter. If, therefore, be is to bo placed on the list, we mnst soppoae that
Greybem resigned and was re^^ppointed on Kawsoo's death. I give a more
BCcnrate list of the earlier provoals. They were obliged b; statute to be Cam-

-^. Wllliimi (Jrey*Brm,S.T. P. appointed the first provost in 14S2-3, Edmund
Carter and William Alynson being at the same time made the first Fellows,
(Beg. Botherham, 260.) In U74 he was collated to the rectory of Sherington,
Bucks. (Lipacombe's Bucks, iv. 33S.) TbU ho exchanged on Sept. 20, I486,
with John Pcoctonr for the rectory of Handsworth ( Heg. Botherham.) On March
15, U89-90,he was collated to a stall in St. Sejmlcbre cbapel, York, (Ibid. 1036.)
This he resigned in 1601. (Beg. Savage, SI a.)

♦ " Ricardus de York, merchaunt," was admitted to the freedom of the city of
York, by purchase, in 1466. He was chamberlain in 1460, sheriff in 1466-6, lord
mayor in 1469 and 1482, and was elected M.P. in 1473, 1482 (Dec. 13), 1483
(Oct. 24), 1483-4 (Jan. 16), 1486, 1488 (Dec. 31), and 1490.

In 1462, Richard York and his wife became members of the merchants' guild,
and he was master of that guild, and of the company of merchants and mercers,
in 1476. On January 16, 1466-7, being then mayor of the Staple of Calais, he
was one of the guests at the great installation feast of archbishop Neyille.
When King Henry VII. visited York in July 1487, " in the Vigill of Saint Peter
callid Advincle," he " dubbed my Lord Maier, called WiUiam Todde, and
Kichard York, alderman, knightes," they being the only citizens on whom he
conferred that honour. — R. H. S. Sir Richard died in April 1498, and was
buried in the church of St. John in Micklegate, where were many memorials of
him and his family. Some of them still remain there.

Sir Richard left a large family behind him. His first wife is said to have been
Joan Mauleverer, and she, no doubt, was the mother of his children.

t This church has disappeared and the parish is annexed to that of St. Saviour.
There is no record of the foundation of a chantry here for the testator.

• Widow of William Vavasour of Thornton, gen., who made his will Nov. 2nd,
1476. To Henry and Edward Vavasour, and Richard Emerson, he left a horse
each. To John Vavasour, jun., " suam togam de cremesyn duplicatam, et unam
diploidem de nigro velvet." The rest to Elizabeth his wife ; she executrix.
[Pr. Nov. 14, 1476.] (Reg. Test. v. 6a.)

He was a member of the house of Haslewood. I cannot speak with any cer-
tainty as to the place he occupied in the pedigree. The statement respecting
his parentage in Test. Ebor. iii. 164 w. is wrong.

f I simply put on record here, with a few illustrative notes, what is probably
the most noble and striking will of a mediaeval English bishop in existence. I
shall speak elsewhere of the archbishop's life.

This copy, which is taken from the register of the dean and chapter, has been
completed from the edition printed by Heame in his appendix to the Liber
Niger. The York register has suffered from damp. The words within brackets
are supplied from Heame.

The words in small capitals are in the margin of the MS., and I have put them
in as the archbishop intended that his will should be written " per capitula."

{ Sir Harris Nicolas, in his Chronology of History, thinks that Translatlonis
should be TransfigurationiSf the 6th of August being the day to commemorate
our Lord's Transfiguration. He is wrong, as' archbishop Rotherham's register
bears witness. I shall speak of this elsewhere.

f There is no name in Yorkshire, so full of great names, more distinguished
than that of Vavasour of Haslewood. The testator was the head of that ancient
house, and is said to have married Joan, daughter of Sir William Gascoigne, by
whom he left a large family.

He lies buried in the chapel of Haslewood. " By the door lyes a blue marble

* Mr. Leonard Vavasour of Haslewood, M.A., was ordained acolyte at York,
April 3, 1484; subdeacon April 17, being rector of Addingham; deacon July 12th;
and priest Sept. 18th, all in the same year. (Reg. Rotherham, ad finem.) On
Oct. 29, 1483, Mr. Leonard Vavasour was instituted to the rectory of Addingham
at the presentation of Sir Henry Vavasour. (Ibid. 42 ft). On July 10, 1504, he
was instituted to a prebend at Osmotherley on the death of Mr. George Strang-
ways (Reg. Savage, 86«), and in April 1506 he was collated to the rectory of
Thumscoe. (Ibid, ^oa.)

t In 1479 he and his father, Sir Henry, were admitted members of the guild
of Corpus Christi at York. (MS. Lansdowne, 403.) I shall speak of a William
Vavasour afterwards.

How are the persons mentioned in the following weird story related to the
family at Haslewood ?

On Sept. 16, 1488, archbishop Rotherham issues a commission to the rural
dean of York, directing him to act in the following matter : William Vavasour
of Pontefi'act, yeoman, otherwise called William Vavasour of Knottingley,gent.,
clerk, was charged before the king's justices in that he on Friday before the
feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, 18th Henry VII., at Haslewood, in a place
called " Est Hesilwod park end," struck Richard Vavasour, his brother, " in
posteriore parte dorsi sui usque ad cor suum cum j gestro vocato a hyngard," of
which blow he instantly died. He was found guilty, and, being a clerk, was handed
over to us. He now denies his guilt. The rural dean reports that he has suffi-
ciently purged himself. (Reg. Rotherham, 313 a.)

On Sept. 5, 1481, archbishop Rotherham granted letters dimissory to Mr.
William Vavasour, bachelor of arts, that he might proceed to minor orders.
(Reg. Rotherham, 203a,)

On Aug. 14, 1481, Henry Vavasour, clerk, was instituted to the rectory of
Terrington on the presentation of Sir Thomas Metham. (Reg. Rotherham, 158 ff).

On Oct. 5, 1484, he was instituted to the chantry of St. Nicholas at Haslewood,
on the presentation of Sir Henry Vavasour. (Ibid. \VJd).

X This John is said in Beckwith's pedigree to have married Cecily Langdale,
and to have had issue. He is probably identical with John Vavasour of Scar-
borough, esq. whose effects were admininistered to Jan. 10, 1535-6 by James
his son and heir, John Gascoigne of Lasingcroft, and William Ellis of Kiddall,
esqs. (Act Book, sub anno.)

* This ancient family, of which next to nothing is known, had its residence
at Sothill Hall in the parish of Dewsbury. There are now no traces of the
Sothills there save the name of the place and a fragment of a graye-stone in the
garden of the vicarage-house. The present will adds largely to the stock of
information that we possess respecting the Sothills, and it is of great value as a
specimen of the dialect of the country. It is copied with the most minute
accuracy.

On June 16, 1485, administration of John Sothill, sen., of Sothill, par. Dews-
bury, esq., was granted to John Sothill of Mirfield, esq. (Reg. Test. v. 256 a.)
This, I presume, is the testator's father.

A branch of this family settled subsequently at North Deighton, coming
thither out of Leicestershire. I have some original evidence about the Leicester-
shire family which always kept up its connection with the West Riding. In the
Visitation of 1584, the novvs homo of the Sothills of Deighton is said to be

♦ One of the bells in Dewsbory church is known by the name of Black Tom
Sothill, and, as the story goes, was presented as an atonement for a murder.
(Coll. Top. et Geneal. i. 167.) Thomas Sothill, esq., son of the testator, died on
Dec. 29th, 1535, leaving by Margery his wife, daughter of Sir William Fitz-
william of Sprotburgh, a daughter Elizabeth, then aged 30 and more, who was
married on August 29th, 9th Henry VIII., to [Sir] Henry Saville. The custody
and marriage of young Saville had been sold by George Earl of Shrewsbury
on Feb. 6th, 8th Henry VIII., to Sothill, who married the youth to his daughter.
If the daughter died childless, the Sothill estates were to come to Michael Sot-
hill, his son and next heir after Elizabeth Sothill, then aged 9. (Orig. Inq. P.M.)
This shows that Thomas Sothill was twice married, but that the estates went to
the female issue of the first wife in preference to the male issue of the second.

J John Sothill of Dewsbury, ordained acolyte Dec. 21, 1493; subdeacon with
a title from Roche abbey, Feb. 22nd, 1493-4; deacon March 15, seq.; and priest
March 29, seq. (Reg. Rotherham, ad finem.)

* The testator was the last of his family, and in him the male representation
of the ancient house of Darell of Sessay came to an end. I can add a little to
what is generally known ahout the Darells.

The will of George Darell of Sessay is printed in Test. Ebor. ii. 27-8. It was
made in 1432.

On Oct. 29, 1432, a brother of George Darell, William Darell of Thornton,
esq., dying at Huntington, made his will, desiring to be buried in the church of
All Saints, before the crucifix. Margaret his wife, and Richard and Thomas
his sons, are his executors. [Pr. 22 Nov., 1432.] (Reg. Test. ii. 623 b. ; iii. 343 a.)

April 1, 1435. Margaret, relict of William Darell of Thornton on the Hill.

March 4, 1439-40. Administration of Richard Darell of Huntington, esq.,

We now come to the main line of the Darells.

Sept. 6, 1436. Edmundus Darell de Seszay, miles. Sep. infra eccl. de Seszay.
Executors — Isabel his wife, and Sir William Trafford, knt. Pr. July 5, 1437,
and adm. to the widow. (Reg. Test. iii. 498 a.)

Isabel his wife was a daughter and heiress of George Etton, esq. She died
May 14, 1448. (Visitation 1584.) On July 1, 1448, the administration of her
effects was granted to George Darell, esq., son of Edmund Darell, and to William
Darell, gent. (Reg. Test. ii. 174 J.) They were the grandfather and grandmother
of the testator.

The father and mother of the testa'tor were Sir George Darell, knt., who died
March 30, 1466, and Margaret daughter of Sir William Plumpton, knt. She
died May 14, 1487, having re-married John Neville of Womerslcy, esq., to whose
effects she administered April 15, 1484. (Reg. Test. v. 68 h.) On Nov. 3, 1487,
administration of dame Margaret Darell, alias Neville, of York, was granted to
Joan, wife of Guy Dawney of Heck, par. Snaith, gent., her dau. (Reg. Test.
V. 316J.)

From this marriage there were four children. 1. Sir John Darell of Sessay,
knt., who married Catherine Strangways (?) and died s. p. 7th Henry VU.

2. Thomas Darell, brother and heir of Sir John, who died s. p. 17th Henry VII. His
wife's name was Margery, and she seems to be a Strangways of East Harlsey.

3. Marmaduke Darell, who also died s. p. They had an only sister, Joan, who
carried the estates and the representation of her ancient house to the family
of Dawney.

in the. church of All Saints in Lund, left nearly everything he possessed to his
son Edmund, who was made the executor of his will. [Pr. Sept. 9, 1480.] (Test.
V. 175 a.)

The testator was an executor of Henry earl of Northumberland in 1485. (Test.
Ebor. iii. 308-10.) There is little known about him. Henry, his cousin and heir,
was probably his grandson. His will is dated in 1520.

In the Visitation of 1584, there is a pedigree of a younger branch of the
name, which was also seated at Lund.

TGrj ancient one, came into the [lossesaion of Aslacton in the pariah of Whfttton
bj a, marriage with the heiress of the Aalactons. The Craninera, with all their
anciont blood, were never wealthy. It will be obserred that the patrimony of
the fatnre archbishop was oiily twenty shillings a-yeai, with the possibility of
its being iloobled, which never camo to pass.

From a letter in an old volame of Iho Gentleman's Magazine I fake the follow-
ing description of the testator's moDnment in Whatton chnrch. " Againat the

From the Laton chartulary I derire the following notes. The eldest son of
the testatrix was Thomas Laton, whoso macriage contract with Margaret,
daughter of Richard Clervans, esq. of Croft, was dated Jan. 12, 1+E8. The issna
of this alliance was an only danghter Anne, who was contracted on Jan. 18, 5th
Ben. VXL, to Edward, son and heir of Reginald Worcop, esq,, and a settlement
of the estates of the yonng lady's father was made, the dower of Eleanor, his
mother, being nntouched. Thomas Laton is said to have married, secondly, Anne,
daughter of Robert Manleverer, but this ataten.ent requires farther proof.

* A Northumbrian lady, a daughter, I believe, of the ancient house of Swin-
burne of Capheaton. Her father, probably, was Sir William Swinburne, and
her mother, Elizabeth, daughter of John Collingwood. This Elizabeth is said to
have given all her goods to her daughter Elizabeth in 1463, her husband then
being dead. (Hodgson's North**., i. part ii. 232.)

In later times there was a family of Swinburne in York, which produced
Henry Swinburne, the celebrated ecclesiastical lawyer. It was of Northumbrian
extraction.

♦ William Todd, merchant, was the son, I believe, of William and Agnes
Todd of York. He was admitted to his freedom in 1462, was chamberlain in
1471, and sheriff in 1476-7. On January 13, 1481, he was elected an alderman,
but he refused to take certain oaths, and eventually resigned his gown.

In September 1486 the city council " thought that John Vavasour, recorder,
imper electid betwixt John Harper, alderman, on the one partie, and William
Todd, laite alderman, on the other partie, of al maner of actions, debates, tres-
passes, contraverses and demaundcs hanging betwixt the said parties, shuld geve
award; which therupon awardid, ordenyd and jugied the saide John Harper and
William Todd shuld forbeir going in procession, and making of offering in
propre persones, unto the Monday in the third weke of Lent, in ther parich
church (All Saints, Pavement): after which Monday, the above written John
Harper continewyng alderman, shal have in the saide church, and all other
places within the liberties of this citie, and at all tymes, pre-eminence afore the
saide William Tod, remaneing hot a communer; and also that the saide Wil-
liam Todd shuld par unto the forsaide John Harper, in recompence and amendes
for his hurt, ten powndes, with payment of such money as the surgiours shal
have for ther labour in curing of the saide John Harper (which the saide Wil-
liam paide without delay unto the forsaide John Harper); and also that the
same John Harper, in presence of the maier, aldremen, and the conunon counsell,
shuld say (and soo he saide) unto the saide William Tod, the wordes folowing,
that is to say, * Maister maier and y« maisters, brederen and aldremen, it is so
that before this tyme I called William Tod a coyner and a money maker, by

daughter and co-heiress of William Neville, earl of Kent, baron Fauconberg. He
died, however, childless, on the 9th of August, 1503; having by deed dated 6th of
April in that year conveyed his vast estates to Richard Neville Lord Latimer, Sir
James Strangwayes and other trustees, for the ultimate use and benefit of the
three daughters and co-heirs of his brother Thomas Pigot. Margaret, the eldest
of them, married James Metcalfe, of Nappa in Wensleydale, and died on the
3rd of February 1531, leaving a son and heir. Sir Christopher Metcalfe, from
whom the Earl de Grey and Ripon, the present owner of the Clotherham estate,
by purchase, is lineally descended. Johanna, the second daughter, married
first, Sir Giles Hussey, of Gothorpe, co. Lincoln, and, after his death, Thomas
Falkingham, of North Hall, near Leeds. Elizabeth, the third daughter, had
three husbands, Francis Neville, of Barby; Sir James Strangwayes of Harlesey
Castle, knt., who died s.p. in 1541 ; and Charles Brandon, illegitimate son of
Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk. J. R. W.

This note bears the initials of my lamented friend, Mr. J. R. Walbran, of
Ripon, who died very recently. His death is the greatest loss which English
archaeology has sustained since that of Mr. Hunter. I shall speak elsewhere of
his merits and his works.

* With the exception of a fragment of an old wall the ancient residence of
the Pigots at Clotherham has disappeared. There is, however, a rude sketch of
what it was about the year 1600, in the possession of Lord De Grey and Ripon.
The sketch shows a large tower filled with rooms in the middle of a very
spacious mansion.

Michael in the same church on April 10, seq. (Ibid. 104-5.) On Jan. 24, 1493-4,
he was made precentor of York, and treasurer there on June 17, 1494. (Ibid.

(Ibid, 95 J), of whose will he was one of the executors. In fact Trotter seems to
have been one of those persons on whom archbishop Rotherham could
thoroughly rely, and on whom, therefore, he showered his preferment with a
lavish hand. It is not known where Trotter ycba interred. He shows his love
for his university by his liberal bequests of books, which, I believe, are still
preserved in their allotted places.

CXXVI. THE WILL OP WILLIAM VATASOUR, ESQ.
[Reg. Test, tL 215 «.]

June 14, 1504, AVilliam Vavasour* off Baddeaworth. To
be bertxl in my parich ehurche of Baddesworth, To John
Vavaaour knyght and juatice, Sir Christofor Urawike clerk. Sir

• There is some difficulty in finding ont who this gentleman was. In tha
acconnt of the descent of the manor of Badaworth in Sir. Huntar's Sontli York-
shire he is said to be of Spaldington, the father of Sir Peter, and the grand-
father of John Vavasoar, esq. This, however, is qnite wrong, as in the obitoajy
of tho'Vayaaonra of Spaldington, printed in this Tolume (p. 9!), William Vava-
Hour, the grandfather of John, is said, on irrefragable authority, to have died in
1495. On the same page them ia an extract from hia will dated in that year,
Mr. Hunter has been misled by the statement of Beekwith, making William
Vavasour, who died in 149o, the husband of the heiress of Badaworth, whereas
the owner of Badsworlh waa tha present testator. This marriage is mentioned
iu a note of mine at p. 91, which must be regarded as a statement ot the opinion
of Beckwith and Hunter, and not ns a, matter of fact. The alliance with
Mallory is probably c«TOct.

Who then was the testator ? He was evidently a member of the house of
Haslewood. In his will he mentions lis parents Henry and Joan. Now these
are the Christian names of Sir Henry Vavasour (and liia wife), who died in 1500.
[See hia will pp. 166-7.) In the will of Sir Henrr, William hU son and heir ia
mentioned who is not otherwise accounted for, and in a window in Badsworth
church there were the figures of a VaTBsont and his lady, the lady bearing on
her robe tie arms of Gascoigue. The wife of the Sir Henry Vavasonr jnst
alladed to was a Gaseoigno of Qawthorpe.

ton elerke, parson of Baddeswoiih, Roger Hopton knyght, John
Lak, and Richard WiIkok,f of and in all my meases, landes, etc. ,

ticina seem to be fatnl, and Cbe testator cotild scarcely liave heen the nt» of Sir
Eemy Varasour who died in 1600.

Bat he mar bate been his brother, the bod of Eenrj' VHTaBonr, esq., who died
in 1453, and who had a son William. (Test. Ebor. Hi. 162-3.) This ia the
most probable solntion of the difficulty, TJnder this interpretation the " ncvewe
John Vnvasonr," whom the testator mentions, falls into his proper place. We
may assume therefore that the window at Sadaworth which has been allnded to
was given by Sir Henry in consiileratinn of his brother.

The testator married Isabel, dan. and heiress of Robert Urswick, esq., thnmgh
whom be became the owner of Bndsworth. According to Dodsworth, (MS.
Oxon. iii. 301,) when she married him, she was the widow of — Prestemon.
They seem to have had no iHsne. In what manoGr the estate of Badiworth
passed to the VaTasoDrs of Spaldington, I do not know. It is evident from
the conclusion of his will, that the testator was on bad terms with at least one
of bia nephews of the hoose of Haslewood. They had nothing to do with Bads-
worth, which waa probably sold and bought bj the Vavaeuurs of Spaldington
with the money of their rich ancle, the justice.

• Several of these tmateea were diatingni'hed men. With Christopher Urawick

193.) On Si-pt. !6, 1*72, he was prBseuled by the dean and cTiaptor of York to
the Ticarage of Topcliffe. (Acta Capit. Ebor.) On Oct. 30, 1473, he was insti-
tated to the rectory of Lowthorpe on the presentation of the Earl of Northnmber-
land (Beg. Geo. NeTille, i. IGOb)-, and, on the same presentation, he was institaCed
to the rectory of Catton on Angnat 8, U84. (Reg. Rotherham, 143a.) On
Angnst IS, 1480, he was admitted suc^entor canonicoram in York mbster {Acta

On Oct. 87, 1498, archbishop Kothefham gave him a stall at St Sapnlchre'a
chapel in York. (Ibid. llOn.) He resigned the living of WheldraM in 1490
receiving ont of it a retiring pension of £8 per annum. (Ibid. IGli.)

I find Rowkshaw oornjHpnniling with Sir Robert Plnmptoo in 1489 (Plnmpton
Corr., 82-3), and a trnstae for the famiiy of Clifton, 22ud Kdward IV. (Thorotcn's
Notts, 55.) Bat it was with lie noble house of Percy that he was BBpecially
connected. He was indebted to it for macb of his preferment, and it is probable
that be waa a retainer in the earl's hoosehold. Henry Earl of Nnrthnmberland
was killed inapopnlar ontbreakin April, 148», and this oatrage produced a well-
known elegp' from the lauraatn, Stelton. . The poet endorses his dirge with Cha
following Imea, which are written in his easily-flowing Latinity.

Tetrastichon Skelton Lanreati ad magistrnm Bokshaw, Sacrie Theologia

The poem, therefore, was addressed to Howkshaw, and as Skellon was well
known in Yorkshire, no doubt he and Howkshaw were well acqoainted.

The will of the ill-fated earl has been already printed. (Test. Ebor. iii. 304-10.)
Among the papers of the dean ana! chapter of York there ia-the following
curious letter, addressed by him to the vieajs choral of York ; —

" Right hartily beloved frendes, I commend me unto yon. And wher as a sor-
rarait of myn hath shewed nuto me yat je have a lame dera w'in you, if it like

There is a very similar reqoest preferred, I believe by the same nobleman, to
r Robert Plnmpton—" Cousin, I pray you to send me jonr tame haert, for
fne dere ar dead." (Plumpton Corr., IM.)

IS evidently a devoted adherent of the house of Percy. It waa

J the blue lion of their arma that decked the bed-covering which he

of Sempringham, and desires that the tustpmary meeeeriger be sent round to the

In Dei nomine. Amen. xvij™° die mensis Julii, anno
Domini miUesimo quingentesimo septimo. Ego, Rogerus La-
bume,* Divina permissione Karliolensis episcopus, compos
mentis, et sanae memoriae, condo testamentum meum in hunc
modum. Inprimis lego animam meam Deo Omnipotenti, Beatae
Mariae Virgini, et Omnibus Sanctis, corpusque meum sepelien-
dum in ecclesia parochiali Sancti Jacobi Apostoli juxta Charing
Crosse, cum mortuariis meis debitis et de jure consuetis. Item
volo quod Fratres monasteriorum, Praedicatorum, videlicet, et
Minorum, vocentur ut intersint exequiis meis die sepulturae meae ;

♦ The testator was probably one of the Leyboumes of Cunswick in Westmer-
land, but on this point there is no direct evidence. (Nicolson and Bum, i. 144.)
Fellow of Pembroke, Cambridge, and proctor for the University in 1488: D.IX
(Lei. Coll. V. 389 ; Hawes and Loder's Framlingham, 220 ; Ath. Cant.) His
great patron seems to have been Richard Fox, bishop of Durham, in whose
diocese he held the following preferments. The rectory of Sedgfield in 1491
(Surtees, iii. 32); the rectory of Wolsingham, 1497-9 (Hutchinson's Durham, iii.
299), and that of Longnewton (Surtees, iii. 217) ; the temporal chancellorship
of the diocese 1499-1501 (MSS. Surtees); the arch-deaconry of Durham 1499-
1604 (Le Neve, iii. 304) ; and the mastership of Kepier hospital, 1601. (Sur-
tees, iv. part ii.)

Ley bourne was also prebendary of Grindall at York from 1601 to 1603 (Le
Neve, iii. 191), and master of Pembroke at Cambridge 1505-7 (Ibid. iii. 673).
From 1504 to 1507 he was bishop of Carlisle (Ibid. iii. 240), but died soon,
" before he c** express his good intentions to his colledge or cathedrall." (Fuller's
Worthies, i. 236.) His will is registered at Doctors' Commons, but without the
codicil. He seems to have died overwhelmed with debt.

On Sept. 21, 1607, the chapter of York empower Mr. Walter Redman S. T. P.,
provost of Greystock, Cuthbert Conyers, bachelor of decrees and rector of
Hutton Forrest, William Husband, rector of Longnewton, William Holgill,
vicar of Bromficld, dioc. Carlisle, and Alexander Dawson of Greystock, notary,
to collect the Bishop's goods, &c.

CLVII. TilE WILL OF ROBERT LASCELLES OF BRAKENBURGFI, ESQ.

Feb. 20, 1507-8. Robert Lassala^ of Brakenbargho. To be
beryde in the church of Sant John Baptist at Kirkby apon Wiske.
For my mortuary my best hoist, after y^ custom of the chirch,

* The testator was the boji of Boliei-t LaacelleB of Sowerby, near Thimi. (See
Teat Ebor. iii. 197-8.) He was twice manrieil. His firet wife was Eleanor,
danghter and co-heir of Sir Richard Conjers of Cowttin, knt. His second wife
seema to have been Margaret, daaghter of James Danby esq., a younger son, I
believe, of Bir James Dauby of Fame ley, knt. This will is foil of interest to
the North Riding antiquary.

The eldest sou of the testator was Sir Roger Laacelles, who niade his will in
1661. Uis grandson, Sir Thonios Lascellea, was a spendthrift, anci ran through
his proper^. The bonse and estate of Bnikenhnrgh thea came into the
market. The following extract from a letter fnim Ambroee Appleby, an agent
of Lord Cavendish, to his master in leiS, nill give some idea of the csicv.t of a
house of which not a trace rcmaiDa.

" The hoQBO is fayre and very subBtantiall, consisting of two strong large bricke
towers of three stories high, noli leaded ov-er, th'one satahle to tb'other in pro-
portion and onifonuity. Betweno thom is oncly the hall, which is fiiire and large,
high roofed, well lig;hted, and a large and good chimney. From each of those
towers goes ont a wing towards the gate, which make a handsome fonr-sqnare
courte, wherein is a fajre well, which aervoth j' hotieo with verie clere and good

other houses of office, with lodging chambers over. In th'other wing there be
lodgings and other roomes. There be two large bames strongly tymbred, dove-
cote, stable, oxehouse, kilne, and other houses; a very fayre square garden, ad-
joyning on the south side of the house, with delicate walks, having on both
sides thome hedges finely cutt, arbours, and good store of excellent fniite trees,
and a lardg orchard with good fruits besides."

There is in the registry of the ecclesiastical court of York a very remarkable
suit between William Layton and the testator about some tithes in the parish of
Kirkby Wiske. They came to blows, and had their bodies of retainers. The
subject would long live in the memory of the inhabitants of Brakenburgh, but
it is too long to enter upon here.

t The will of the testator's father, Sir Gervase Clifton, has been already given,
together with much information respecting his family. He married, according to
Thoroton, Agnes daughter of Sir Walter Griffith of Burton Agnes, East Elding
of Yorkshire, by his stepmother Agnes Constable, and died June 6th, 23rd Heniy
VII. (Thoroton's Notts, 63.) I find, however, that in 1506 Gervase Clifton
of Hodsack, had leave to marry Joan Byron widow (of Sir Nicholas Byron).

CLXni. THE WILL OF MR. MARTIN COLLINS, TREASURER OF YORK.

* The testator was high in the faYOur of archbishop Rotherham, and held
great preferment in the cathedral and diocese of York. He, with Hugh Trotter,
Henry Camebull, and one or two others constituted the group of ecclesiastics
who did most of the work and occupied the chief positions in the diocese of
York at this time.

On Jan. 25, 1493-4, Ck>llins was instituted to the rectory of Wilford, Notts.
(Reg. Rotherham, 181 J.) Between 1490 and 1497 he was rector of Thingden,
Northants. (Bridges* Northants, ii. 260.) On March 11, 1495 6, he was insti-
tuted to the rectory of Barton in Fabis, Notts. (Reg. Rotherham, 90 b) which he
held during his life. On July 9, 1499, was collated to the prebend at the altar
of St. Stephen at Beverley. (Ibid. 110 J.) On Sept. 29, in the same year, he
was instituted to the vicarage of Leeds. (Ibid. 139 a. ; Vicaria Leodiensis, 25-6 ;
Loidis and Elmete, 20-1.) This he resigned, and on June 27, 1500, an annual
pension of 201. was assigned to him from it. (Reg. sede vac. 500 h.) On Oct.
2, 1500, he was admitted to the mastership of the hospital in Bootham, York.
(Ibid. 601 h.) On Jan. 20, 1502 3, he was instituted to the living of Kirkby in
Cleveland (Reg. Savage, 19 a.), and on Dec. 5, 1505, he was collated to the stall
of PalishaU at Southwell. (Ibid. 29a.) On April 12, 1501, and Dec. 3, 1508,
he was made official of the court of York. (Regg. Savage, 1&. ; and Bain-
bridge, la.)

In the cathedral of York CJollins held the following offices : On Nov. 7, 1494,
he was admitted to the stall of Bugthorpe (Acta Capit. Ebor.), and on Nov. 30
seq.y he was collated to that of Apesthorpe. (Reg. Rotherham, 106 a.) On Nov.
18, 1496, Collins was advanced to the dignity of precentor (Ibid. 108 a), the
prebend of Driffield going with it ; whilst, on Sept. 12, 1503, he was collated to
the treasurership, in which office he died. (Reg. Savage, 24 a.)

It will be seen from the present will that Collins was a munificent friend to
the minster, to which he was bound by so many ties. See Fabric Rolls, pp.
216, 309.

Collins was buried in York minster, in the position that he had selected for
himself, under "a blue marble stone, about four yards long, with the four
Evangelists in as many cinque-foils at comers ; towards the foot two escocheons
of this charge, viz., three martlets on a bend ; and at the head a brass plate "
bearing an inscription showing that Collins died on Feb. 4, 1508-9. (MS.
Torre, 162 ; Drake's Eburacum, 601.)

^ The brother of the testator, John Collins, alias Twyf ord, was instituted at
his brother's presentation to the vicarage of St. Mary Bishophill Junior, in
York, on Oct. 28, 1504. (Acta Capit. Ebor.) This he resigned, on account of old
age, in 1622, receiving from it an annual pension of 4Z. 6«. M. It is more than
probable that the two brothers were natives of Twyford, near Melton Mowbray,
in Leicestershire.

CLXIV.— THE ACCOUNTS OF THE EXECUTORS OF
THOMAS SAVAGE, ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.

[Ex orig. penes Dec. et Capit. Ebor.]

* Part I. — a general summary of the effects of the

ARCHBISHOP.*

M** that hereaftir ensueth the parcelles of all such stuff and
goodes as of lato apperteyned unto the moste reverende fadir in
Grod Thomas Savage late archebusshop of Yorke, and all such
wrytinges as concerneth the same, wheche came to the handes,
custodie and knowlege of M'^ Thomas Dalby and M' Thomas
Magnus, archediacons of Richmond and th'Estridding, by
reason of the custodie of the sequestracion of the saide goodes
commytted unto theyme by th'auctoritie of the chapitour of
Yorke, delyverd by theyme by commaundment of the same
chapitour unto M^ Docto'^ Carver and M' William Tate, docto' of
lawe, or on of y® commissaries deputed by th'auctorite of the
saide chapito', to receyve and take th'accomptes of the saide M'
Thomas Dalby and M^ Thomas [Magnus] of and upon the
custodie of the saide sequestracion and gadering of the saide
goodes, and conserved by theyme.

In primis the saide M^ Tliomas Dalby and M' Thomas Magnus
delyvered unto t'handes of the saide commissaries the testament
of the saide moste reverende fadir, w* an inventarie of his goodes
signed w* the signe manuell of o"^ late soveraigne lorde king
Herry the vij^^. Item a bill of dettes and money lent by the
saide moste reverende fadir in God. Item a bill endented of
xlli. lent to th'abbott of Fountaunce. Item an obligacion of
XX li. owing by Thomas Novell of Hoton, esquier. Item ij obli-
gacions of xx li. owing by Thomas Barkley of Rowcliff, esquier.
Item ij obligacions of ccxxj li. vij s. viij d. of Sir John Tong.
Item an obligacion of John Lacy of Cromwellbothome, of x li.

* These papers are strictly connected with the executorship of Martin Collins,
and are rolled up in the large paper inventory of the effects of that ecclesiastic.
Collins and Thomas Dalby seem to have been the Archbishop's executors, who
died on the 3rd of September 1507, but these papers extend over several years
beyond that date. The grand inventory of the goods of the Archbishop does
not exist in York. I shall allude to these documents elsewhere in my life of the
Archbishop. My object in printing them here is to place them permanently on
record.

* It is much to be regretted that the will and full inventory of the effects of
Archbishop Savage have not been recovered. The inventory would have exhi-
bited a splendid array of rich and beautiful things. These documents will pro-
bably be discovered some time or other in the Public Record Office. The Arch-
bishop was, I believe, greatly in debt to the King at the time of his death, and
the King pai<l himself by taking a large portion of his effects.
