* Rumburgh, in Suffolk. A small monastery founded about the time of the 

 Norman Conquest by Almar or Agelmar of Elmham, and Thurstan, Abbot of St. 

 Benet Hulm. It was given as a Cell to the Abbey of St. Mary, York, in tbe reign 

 of Hen. I., by Stcpben Earl of Eichmond and Bretagne, or by Alan his son. 



2 A chapel dedicated to St. Martin near Eichmond, was given with the church 

 of Thornton and other possessions, about the year 1100, to the Abbey of St. Mary, 

 by "Wyman, Steward of the Earl of Eichmond. Upon which the Monks of St. Mary's 

 sent a colony of 9 or 10 of their niunber, with a Prior, to erect a Priory. It 

 thus became a Cell to the house at York, to which it was subordinate in spiritual 

 matters, while in others it claimed to be independent. It became richly endowed, 

 keeping the original number of monks, and paying a yearly pension, as an acknow- 

 legement of subjection, to the Abbey of St. Mary.

'2 ' Ibidem' is to be connected with ' et' and the clause translated thus : "And 

 there (i. e. out of the same place, viz. Bowthome) v'. for the Master of the College." 

 And thus also in the following similar clauses. There was but one Collegium, and 

 that was within the precincts of the Abbey ; but the Master of the College appears 

 to have had his endowments or money payments from various portions of the 

 conventual property. 



" Probably as being specially granted for this purpose by the Abbot. «
