45. THE HOSPITAL OF ST. JAMES, 

 SEAFORD 



The hospital of St. James of Sutton by Sea- 

 ford was founded some time before 1260, in 

 which year the brethren received a royal grant 

 of protection for five years. 171 It was in the pa- 

 tronage of the abbey of Robertsbridge, to whom 

 the manor of Sutton belonged, and was bought 

 from them by Bishop Sherborn, and united with 

 the free chapel of Bargham to form a prebend 

 in the cathedral church in October, 1523, when 

 it was ' lying vacant and of so small rents that 

 no one could take it.' 172 But in 1534 the 

 abbey of Robertsbridge granted to John Seman 

 the site of the hospital of St. James and 10 acres 

 of land called Spittelland, he paying yearly to 

 the dean and chapter of Chichester 10, and 

 2OJ. to Thomas Gerard, clerk, master or warden 

 of the said chapel or hospital. 173
