The following is a list of the chantry priests of S. Anne's gild 

 during the greater portion of the sixteenth century, compiled from its

Special additional chaplains were appointed to S. Audoen's, in 

 fulfilment of bequests by testators for the maintenance of priests to cele- 

 brate masses. The executors of John Stafford, baker, one of the founders, 

 who appears to have accumulated a large fortune, conveyed to the gild, 

 in 1450 (No. 119), a number of tenements and messuages, with a view 

 to such celebrations, in accordance with a certain deed. Neither 

 Stafford's testament nor deed is now forthcoming. In 1478, sir Robert 

 Dovedall (No. 1), in his lifetime, bestowed on the gild a gift of 100 

 marks, to be put out at interest, used in merchandise at a profit, or 

 invested in the purchase of land in the country ; the yearly income 

 derived to be devoted to the support of two priests, who were to pray 

 for him. After sir Robert's death, the gild was to see to such priests 

 keeping his "mind" on the anniversary of his death, and they were 

 to be maintained in addition to the regular chaplains. 



In 1488, pursuant to the will of Thomas Wolton (or Walton), 

 which is not now in the collection, the gild (No. 2) granted to John 

 Dromyn,^ chaplain, a sum of 40s. yearly, charged on a messuage of 

 Wolton's, which he was to inhabit, and which the fraternity became 

 bound to keep in repair. Dromyn was to have board supplied, and as 

 the gild was to furnish bread, wine, and wax, the premises had 

 evidently been bequeathed on condition of masses being celebrated for 

 the donor. Thomas Wolton, who is described in 1450 as citizen of 

 London, would appear to have settled in Dublin in that year, when 

 he had premises in High -street leased to him. 



1 John Dromyn was Proctor of S. Olave's in 1485. (Dr. Hughes' S. John's.)
