RELIGIOUS HOUSES 



York Castle, the monastery of Haltemprice, 

 being in Hullshire, carried theirs to Hull. 



The commissioners supervised the house on 

 26 May 1536** and suppressed it on 12 August 

 following ; Robert Collynson was then prior, and 

 there were nine ' confratres.' Law expenses 

 are recorded in going to London and Hull in 

 actions ' versus homines ville de Hull.' There 

 were forty servants and boys at the time of the 

 •suppression. As to superstition, Drs. Layton 

 and Legh^' say that there was a 'peregrination ' 

 to Thomas Wake for fever, and that an arm of 

 St. George was had in veneration, and a piece of 

 the Holy Cross, and the girdle of the Blessed 

 Virgin, esteemed salutary to women in child- 

 birth. 



The clear annual value in 15 35 was 

 j^IOO OS. 3i^.28 



In the return 6 Edward VI,^' as to the 

 payment of pensions, the commissioners reported 

 under ' Alt'price ' — ' Robert Collynson nuper 

 prior de Hawdymprice obijt circa x™ diem 

 octobris ultimo elapso [1551] t his pencon was 

 by yere xx li.' No other names are given, from 

 which it may be surmised that no members of 

 the house were then alive.

The remarkable 14th-century seal is circular, 

 2j in. in diameter. On the obverse,** inclosed 

 in an octofoil, having fleurs de lis and leopards' 

 heads alternately in the spandrels, is a representa- 

 tion of the house, with two banners on its roof of 

 the arms of Thomas, Lord Wake of Liddell, the 

 founder. On the right is a shield of his arms, 

 two bars with three roundels in the chief, and 

 on the left is a burelly shield which perhaps 

 represents the arms of the Stutevilles of Liddell, 

 whose heiress was great-grandmother of the 

 founder. Below is a third shield charged with a 

 cross paty. The legend is 



|J( CEO EST LE SEAL LABBE E LE COVENT DE 

 COTINGHAM QVE NOVS THOMAS WAKE SINGNOVB 

 DE LIDEL AVOMES FOVNDE. 



The reverse,*' in an architectural octofoil, 

 shows a three-storied architectural composition 

 with a rood in the uppermost compartment. 

 Below, the prior kneels between St. Peter and 

 St. Paul, and at the bottom are five praying 

 canons. Outside this design are two kneeling 

 figures. That to the left is the founder, Thomas, 



" There seems to be some confusion here. John 

 Thwynge has been found as prior by Mr. Baildon in 

 1425, 1430, 1435, 1437, while Robert Thwynge 

 as prior occurs in the same list in 1435 and 1439.
