A HISTORY OF YORKSHIRE 



and the third de iecundarie. He was also to have 

 a lagena and a half of the better ale of the house, 

 together with full secondary messes from the 

 kitchen after the prior, both at noon [ad nonam) 

 and at supper, such as two canons received, in 

 the hall or refectory. He was to have a servant 

 at his choice, assigned him by the prior, at the 

 charges of the house. He was also to have five 

 marks of silver yearly, for his clothing, and 

 further he was to have every year 4,000 turves 

 from the moor of Inclemore for fuel. 



In 1 380-1 ^ there were, besides the prior, five 

 canons. 



On 18 July 1396'° Pope Boniface IX con- 

 ferred on John de Thornton, priest, ' Augusti- 

 nian canon of the priory of Ferriby of the order 

 of the brethren of the Temple,' the dignity of 

 papal chaplain. Five years later, on 13 February 

 1401,^^ the same pope granted a dispensation to 

 ' John Marton, canon of the priory of North 

 Ferriby, of the Order of the Temple of our Lord 

 of Jerusalem, under the rule of St. Augustine,' ^' 

 who made his profession in North Ferriby and 

 was in priest's orders, to hold any offices, &c., 

 even principal, of his order. 



The property of the priory seems to have 

 consisted of lands in the immediate neighbour- 

 hood, '^ but nothing of importance except the 

 church of North Ferriby, which was appropriated 

 to the priory, one of the canons being usually 

 appointed to the vicarage. In 1526** the 

 clear annual value of the priory was returned as 

 j^48 IJ. fd. According to the Valor Ecclesias- 

 ticus '' the total annual revenues amounted to 

 j^95 iij. T^d., the reprises to £7,^ los. sh'^-i 

 leaving a clear annual value of £(iO is. 2d. 



Just at the end of its history there was a very 

 quick changing about of priors, suggesting an 

 endeavour to secure as much in the way of pen- 

 sions as possible. On 5 June 1532 ^° a com- 

 mission was issued to confirm the election of 

 Brother John Bawdewynne, late vicar of Ferriby, 

 who had been elected prior vice Thomas Burgh, 

 resigned. On 20 June" Thomas Burgh, the 

 ex-prior, was instituted to the vicarage of Ferriby. 

 On 24 September 1534'' John Bawdewynne 

 had resigned, and Brother Thomas Androwe, 

 canon of the house, was elected. All three were 

 living at the suppression, John Bawdewynne
