 for Wark ; Andrew Bolton, Wark, for Wark ; Thomas Hook, 

 Tupre, for Kilham ; Henry Morton, Kilham, for Canno Mill ;

The mill at Mindrum belonged to the Master of the Hospital 

 of Bolton, which was founded by Robert de Ros, the son of 

 the Baron de Ros before 1214. There was a churchyard at 

 Learmouth and another at Werk. Owing to the accounts 

 of the priory of Kirkham being inaccessible, we cannot obtain 

 any production about the foundations of these chapels. The 

 churchyards have ( 1 been filled) with those slain in Border 

 skirmishes. Kirkham priory was superior of Carham parish.
