A HALTEMPRICE DOCUMENT. 
By J. R. Boyre, F.S.A. 
HE following is a brief description of a document of 
great local interest which I have recently had the good 
fortune to discover whilst examining some old papers, 
&c., at Beverley. It is a receipt for £4 6s. 8d. for the tithe 
corn of Anlaby and Wolferton, paid by John Eland, of Hull, 
on February 5th, 1535 or 1536. It is written and signed 
by Robert Colynson, the last prior of Haltemprice. It is 
the only document known to be in existence that was 
actually written by an inmate of the old priory. 
The paper is slightly damaged on the right-hand edge, 
and the following is a fac-simile and transcript, so far as it 
can be read :—
