MARTON IN GALTRES 



Is situated ill the wapentake of Buliner and liberty 

 of Ripon, 5mileseastofEasingwold, 11 from York, 

 and 14 from Malt on, having a population including 

 Moxby of 164. The church is a perpetual curacy 

 in the deanry of Buhner, the patron of which is the 

 archbishop of York ; and the present incumbent 

 the Rev. D. Duck. 



Bertram de Bulrner, (who lived in the reign of 

 king Stephen, and beginning of king Henry II.,) 

 founded here a monastery for men and women, of 

 the order of St. Austin, dedicated to St. Mary : but 

 the nuns were not long after removed to Molesby. 



This house was situated in the flat country about 

 14 miles N. E. of York ; a little s. E. of the rising 

 ground of Bransby and Gilliug castle, on the right 

 side of the road leading from York. There are no 

 remains of the old buildings, only a farm house 

 erected with part of the stone thereof. The place 

 where the house stood, is yet distinct enough ; and 

 the moat about it is now to be traced. The church 

 at Sheriff- II uttou, was granted to it by Peter de 

 Mauley, lord of Mulgrave in 1332. The church at 

 Sutton in Galtres was granted to it by Walter Grey, 

 archbishop of York in 1227. On the 9 February, 

 1536, 27 Henry VIII., this priory was surrendered 

 by Thomas Yodson, or Godson, and 15 cannons, 

 and was valued at 183. 2s. 4d. Speed ; and 151. 

 5s. 4d. Dugdale. And 34 Henry VIII. 1543, the 

 site was granted to the archbishop of York, in ex- 

 change for other lauds.
