than £10. yearly; — that the offer by the mayor and corporation of 
the yearly fixed pension of £41. for the premises aforesaid was 
deemed by the prior and convent a satisfactory compensation, and 
that they were wiUing to accept the same; and the jury concurred 
in recommending such alienation and sale on such terms. 
The parish church of S. Andrew, in Plymouth, continued an 
appendage to the priory nearly until the dissolution of the house. 
Its perpetual vicar, William de Wolley, became a professed religious 
at Plympton; and on his resigning this benefice, the prior and 
convent granted, November 23, 1334, to Bishop Grandisson the 
nomination of an incumbent, saving however their yearly pension 
of sixty marks. The bishop nominated Nicholas de Weyland, a 
canon of Plympton, December 23. 
The chapel of S. Katherine on the How also belonged to the 
priory ; but the following list of chapels appendant to this house 
will give some idea of the immense patronage which it enjoyed : — 
SS. Mary and Thomas, Plympton, Brixton, Wembury, Plymstock, 
Saundford-Spiney, Egg Buckland, Lanhorn (or Lanherne), Tamer- 
ton, Maristowe, Thrushelton, Uggeburgh, Exminster, Islington, 
Newton, Stoke-in-Teignhead, Blackhauton, Bratton, Meavy, S. 
Just, Petertavy, &c. ; and the tithes of these places were appro- 
priated to the priory for the promotion of hospitality and charity. 
Two subordinate priories or cells depended on Plympton 
priory, — S. Mary de Marisco, commonly called Marsh Barton, in 
Alphington parish, and the cell of S. Anthony in the deanery of 
Powder, in Cornwall. 
Most of the churches appendant to the Plympton priory have 
the parvise over the south porch, as at both the Plympton churches 
and at Ugborough. Here were probably deposited books written 
by the monks in their hours of study, — missals with rich borders, 
as well as writings of a more secular character ; and possibly the 
preaching monks tarried in these chambers between the hours of 
divine service.
