When the amount given in the Chantry certificate is compared 

 with that given in the Valor Ecclesiasticus two years before, the two would 

 hardly seem to refer to the same institution. The gross value is raised 

 from >C7 ^d to >C947- The wardenship instead of being put at 22 

 odd is represented as worth 101 i8j. Sd. The seventy 'scolars' and 

 sixteen ' querysters ' appear instead of being ignored, and ' theyr porcion 

 and commons' are put at 308 4^. Sd., while those of the ten fellows 

 are given at >C*54 2S - 4^.
