[Dureford Abbey was a small house of Premonstratensian canons founded in the reign 

 of Henry II, and suppressed in 1536. Its last days were passed in great poverty, the 

 buildings were in ruins, the canons reduced in number. Layton, in a letter to Cromwell, 

 describes the poverty of Dureford, 'which might better be called Dirteforde — the poorest 

 abbey I have seen, as this bearer, the abbot, can tell you — far in debt and in great decay. 

 This young man, for his time, has done well, and I have licensed him to repair to you for 

 the liberty of himself and his brethren'.^ 



A seal of the Abbey is in the possession of Magdalen College.]

[The Inkforbye family fairly invaded Magdalen College in the sixteenth century. 

 Of the four children of Andrew Inkforbye, a Mercliant of Ipswich, two gained Fellow- 

 ships, one married a Fellow, and one married the Fresidcnt of tlie CoUe.ije, Lawrence 

 Humpiirey, by whom she became the mother of three Demies. William Inkforbic, the 

 brother-in-law of the President, held several College offices, and eventually accepted 

 a Winchester Rectory in 159J, which he held with that of Selbornc after 1596. It is 

 difficult not to believe that he or some near kinsman was the William Inkforbic mentioned 

 above. Inkforbie's wife is mentioned below, p. ,^82.]
