There were debts on the house to the 

 amount of 16*. 



The site, with those of the other friaries, 

 came into the hands of Winchester College. 



21. THE HOUSE OF THE AUSTIN 

 FRIARS OF WINCHESTER 



There is but little to add to what has 

 been said in the Ecclesiastical History with 

 respect to the establishment of the Austin 

 friars, or friars-hermits of St. Augustine at 

 Winchester in the reign of Edward I. 



In 1302, Geoffrey Spiring of Fareham 

 gave to the Austin friars a messuage in the 

 suburb of Winchester for the enlargement of 

 their area ; a and in 1313, Hugh Tripacy 

 granted them a plot of land, 1 2 perches long 

 by 6 perches wide, adjoining their dwelling 

 place, for further enlargement. 3

Bishop Sandale (1316-20) ordained three 

 friars from the Austin house at Winchester ; 

 and his successor, Bishop Asserio (1320-3), 

 the like number. 



In July, 1328, the grant of the Bishop of 

 Winchester to the Austin friars of the lane 

 called Sevenetwychene, in the south suburb 

 without the walls contiguous to their house, 

 for the enlargement of the site, was confirmed 

 by the king. 4 



In June, 1343, Pope Clement VI. instructed 

 the Bishop of Winchester to grant licence to 

 the prior and Austin friars of Winchester to 

 accept a manse in the city given them by 

 Oliver Bohun, knight, and Margaret his wife 

 with King Edward's licence, and thither to 

 transfer themselves, and build a church and 

 necessary offices ; their place without South- 

 gate being in a dangerous, lone and unfit 

 site." The bishop however, for certain 

 reasons, opposed this removal ; but in May, 

 1346, the prior received the pope's sanction 

 to at once proceed to the new site without 

 any longer waiting for the consent of the 

 diocesan. 8 Milner says that the site of this 

 house after its removal was opposite St. 

 Michael's church, in a close called College 

 Mead. 



The following is the meagre inventory of 

 the goods of the friars taken at the time of the 

 dissolution of the house.
