A HISTORY OF YORKSHIRE 



In 1356,'' at the request of Mr. John 

 Crakehall the master, the newer taxation of 

 the hospital was exemplified. The Exchequer 

 Rolls having been examined, it was found that 

 in the reign of Edward I the temporalities 

 of the hospital were taxed at 131. ^d., and 

 in 12 Edward II (1318-19) on account of 

 the destruction by the Scots had been reduced 

 to 5j. 



In 1535°* there were two chaplains, each 

 receiving £^ a year from the master or custos, 

 and five poor laymen, oppressed with age and 

 disease, dwelling in the hospital, each receiving 

 6j. 8^. a year. The master, Marmaduke Bradley,^' 

 had a house with garden and orchard and 

 £c) 6s. Sd. Against a total revenue of ^27 $5. 6d. 

 were outgoings (including the payment of ^^8 

 to the chaplains and ^^i 1 31. 4.d. to the poor 

 inmates) amounting to ^Tii 4.1. I id., leaving a 

 clear income of £"16 os. yd. 



The chantry certificate (154.6-7)^°" gives 

 much the same return. Marmaduke Bradley 

 was still master. He showed ' no foundacon 

 but used ther to kepe ij preistes and v poore 

 people to pray for all Chrsten soulez, ather 

 prest havynge for his stipende iiij//, and every of 

 the V poore people vji. viijd.' The ' mancion 

 howse ' of the hospital with all the closes was 

 evidently not inhabited by the master, and 

 was, it appears, let for;^8. 



Both this hospital and that of St. John Baptist 

 ' were attached to the [collegiate] church much in 

 the same way as were the chapels and chantries,' * 

 and still continue among the charitable insti- 

 tutions of the city. 



Its post-Reformation history is continued with 

 the complaint, made in 1567, against Mr. 

 Thomas Webster, master of the hospital, and 

 Mark Metcalfe and Christopher Bawdersby, 

 clerks (the two chaplains), that they were non- 

 resident. ' The howseis go to ruyne and decaie, 

 and ther is no provision for releifFe of the poore.'' 

 The buildings, with the fortunate exception of 

 the ancient chapel, were rebuilt in 1674 by the 

 master. Dr. Richard Hooke, a prebendary of the 

 collegiate church.' Since his death on I January 

 1688-9 ^^^ Deans of Ripon have been masters 

 of the hospital.* 



In 1838 the annual revenue amounted to 

 about ;^450, and, besides the master, there were 

 a chaplain and six poor sisters, the five senior of 

 whom received £^ 12s. 4^. a year, and the 

 youngest £2 13^. 4^. The chaplain only

 the revenue to the master.*
