206. COLLEGE OF ST. JAMES, 

 SUTTON-IN-HOLDERNESS 



In 1346, when John de Sutton was lord of 

 the manor of Sutton, and his uncle Thomas 

 Sampson was rector, the royal licence was granted 

 to alienate in mortmain the advowson to six 

 chaplains to celebrate divine service daily in the 

 chapel for the good estate of the king. Queen 

 Philippa, Sir John and Alina ' his wife, and for 

 their souls after death, as well as the souls of Sir 

 John's parents and ancestors.' On Friday in 

 Whit-week 1347 Sir John founded the college 

 for six chaplains and for the purposes specified,' 

 appointing as the first master his uncle, Thomas 

 de Sampson,* the existing rector.' On the fol- 

 lowing 1 1 August Archbishop Zouch made his 

 ordination for the regulation of the collegiate 

 society of the following tenor : — In the rectory a 

 hall, kitchen, stable, granges, and other necessary 

 houses were to be provided for the master, chap- 

 lains, and servants. The master or custos was to 

 be presented by the founder and his wife and the 

 heirs of Sir John within fifteen days after a 

 vacancy. In case the patron died sine prole., then 

 the patronage was to be in the hands of the 

 chaplains, who were to appoint within eight 

 days. The custos was to administer the college 

 properties, be in residence, and have charge of 

 the inhabitants of Sutton and Stone Ferry. In 

 addition to the master there were to be five 

 chaplains ; vacancies were to be filled up by the 

 founder and his wife during their lives, and after- 

 wards by their heirs. But, as in the case of the 

 mastership, if there were no issue, then the 

 appointments were to be made by the custos within 

 eight days. The founder and his heirs and all 

 future owners of the manor were to pay, under 

 pain of the greater excommunication, for the 

 support of the college, all the tithes small and great 

 growing or being upon the manor lands. The 

 custos was to pay one mark yearly, together with 

 the mortuaries and obventions of Sutton and 

 Stone Ferry, &c., to the Chancellor of York in 

 the name of the church of Wawne.' 



These statutes having been ordained, the 

 chapel of Sutton was appropriated to the college 

 by the archbishop on 17 November in the same 

 year, the custos to pay to the Archbishop of York 

 £\ yearly, and to the dean and chapter one 

 mark yearly, as compensation for any losses 

 caused by the appropriation.'
