RELIGIOUS HOUSES 



of the Holy Cross, the third for the founders. 

 On Saturdays one was to celebrate for the de- 

 parted, the second to say the mass of St. Mary 

 the Virgin, the third the founders' mass. So the 

 services were to go on from day to day, regularly 

 and uninterruptedly, unless the chaplains were 

 hindered by any lawful cause or by the feasts of 

 the nine lections. On all festivals they were to 

 say for the souls of the founders Placebo, Dtrige, 

 and other offices of the dead.^ 



For their stipends these chaplains were to have 

 ;^40 a year, that is to say each of them was 

 to be paid £2 lOs. quarterly, out of the revenues 

 of the church of Kirkby Overblow, by the 

 provost.* 



As was usual in the case of a parish church 

 becoming collegiate, recompense was made to the 

 cathedral church for any damage it might have 

 suffered through the appropriation. In this in- 

 stance an annual pension of j^i was to be paid 

 by the provost to the archbishop, and another of 

 lOJ. to the dean and chapter. 



The rector, now dignified by the title ' pro- 

 vost,' went on working afterwards practically as 

 before as parochial rector, assisted by a priest who 

 had to minister in the chapel-of-ease at Stain- 

 burn, 3 miles distant from the parish church.' 

 After he had paid the various stipends, j^20 to 

 the chaplains, ^^i los. to the cathedral, ^^3 6s. 8d. 

 to the priest-in-charge at Stainburn, and other 

 charges amounting to lis. 6d., j^20 was left for 

 his own stipend.* 



At what period the rector became responsible 

 for the chapel at Stainburn is not known, but in 

 the Chantry Survey of 1548 the chapel is said to 

 have been ' used tyme out of mynde as paryshe 

 church for th' ease of th' inhabitants of Stayne- 

 burne.'' The 1546 survey gives an account of 

 the chantry of our Lady in York Minster, ' of 

 the fimdacion of Henry Percye, Erie of North- 

 umberland, and Mary his wyfFe,' but in the 

 Surtees Society's volume * there is an unfortunate 

 note as to the identity of this earl which is very 

 misleading.' In 1546 John Aske was incumbent 

 of the chantry, of which the goods were valued 

 at 1 5 J. io</. and the plate at j^i 19^. The 

 chantry itself was valued at ^^5 yearly, coming 

 out of the parsonage of Kirkby Overblow, and 

 Js. from a tenement in Imbergate. 



The chantry of our Lady was in existence, it 

 seems, before 1362, and was simply refounded at 



' Torre's MS. (York, pt. ii), fol. 181. 



* The figures are indistinct in Torre's MS. Those 

 here given are supplied by Speight in his book on 

 Kirkby Overblow. But they seem excessive when 

 the total income of the church is taken into account. 

 Moreover they are eiouile the amounts given in the 

 Valor and the Chantry Survey.

200. THE HOSPITAL OR COLLEGIATE 

 CHAPEL OF LAZENBYi 



On 19 February 1290 a collegiate establish- 

 ment was founded at Lazenby, in the parish of 

 Northallerton, for a master and six chaplains, 

 by John de Lythegranes and Alice his wife. 

 Lawton identifies this place with the Lazenby in 

 the parish of Wilton,^ but its chapel is called in 

 the 1546 survey 'the Chapell of Lasynbye in 

 the saide paroche of Northalverton.'

 of Lazenby, but it seems to have been rather a 

 collegiate chapel than a true hospital.
