122. THE HOSPITAL OF HERFORD 



The only mention of this hospital that has 

 been met with is the institution by Archbishop 

 Arundel of Ralph de Luceby, on 30 July 1389, 

 to the hospital of Herford in the diocese of York, 

 on the nomination of Thomas Barry, esq., the 

 patron.'^ Its situation is unknown, unless it 

 was at Hartforth, in the parish of Gilling, or 

 possibly it may have been the hospital of Flixton, 

 which is close to the River Hertford, and is 

 described in 1448 as * in Hertforthlith."'

 Burton, may have been founded by one of the 

 Archbishops of York, who had a manor-house in 

 the parish and were the patrons of the hospital. 

 In 1169 Archbishop Roger, considering the 

 calamity and misery of the poor sisters of ' Kyne- 

 waldgrave,' confirmed to them his gift of the 

 tithes of his assart of 'Bimannesconge.' " From
