In addition to this then considerable annual income of 

 ^72 19s. 3 Ad. from their Derbyshire temporalities, must be 

 added £i 6s. 8d. from temporalities in the archdeaconry of 

 Stafford, and jQ\ 4s. in the archdeaconry of Nottingham. 



Among the earlier deeds transcribed in the chartulary is 

 one pertaining to the chapel of Osmaston in St. Peter's parish, 

 which formed part of Earl Ferrers' original gift to the abbey. 

 Osmaston was, from an early date, held of the Ferrers by 

 the family of Dun or Dunne, whose chief residence was at 

 Breadsall. Robert de Dun, lord of Breadsall, supported the 

 Ferrers' gift by giving to the abbey of St. Mary at Darley, 

 for the good of his soul, and that of his wife and heirs, all 

 the rights that he had in the chapel of Osmaston by virtue 

 of being its patron. He coupled, however, his gift with the 

 condition that the abbot and canons were to pay two shillings 

 in silver to the church of Breadsall every Michaelmas. t 



In 1216, Pope Honorius III. issued his mandate to the 

 Abbot of Darley and to two other ecclesiastics to adjudicate 

 in a dispute between the Chapter of York and the priory of 

 St. Oswald.]: From this date onwards the Abbot of Darley 

 for the time being was frequently called upon to take part 

 in papal and diocesan commissions.
