374 ANTIQUITIES OF SELBORNE. 



LETTER XVIII. 



WILLIAM of Waynflete became bishop of Winchester in the year 

 1447, and seems to have pursued the generous plan of Wykeham 

 in endeavouring to reform the Priory of Selborne. 



When Waynflete came to the see he found prior Stype, alias 

 Stepe, still living, who had been elected as long ago as the year 

 1411. 



Among my documents I find a curious paper of the things 

 put into the custody of Peter Bernes the sacrist, and especially 

 some relics: the title of this evidence is, "No. 50, Indentura 

 prioris de Selborne quorundam tradit. Petro Bernes sacristae, 



ibidem, ann. Hen. VI. una cum confiss. ejusdem Petri 



script."* The occasion of this catalogue, or list of effects, being
