“ March. Sir George Etherington, 
knight, of Yorkshire, out of Thomas 
Threlkill’s house in Leaden Porch.” 
Holeburne itself is noticed in the Domes- 
day Survey, where the king is said to 
have two cottages, which pay xxd. a year 
to his vice-comes. 
In the fifth year of Edward III, 
(Chart. 5. Edw, Tf. Ibid. ann. 10, 40.). 
the Manor appears to have been oranted 
to the family of Le Strange: and i 
1386, it passed from John le Straunge, 
lord of Knokyn, to Richard Earl of 
Arundel and Surry, and to Alice and 
Eble le Straunge. Their mansion, if 
rhey had any on the spot, was probably 
re-built by the Southampton family, and 
became afterwards Bedford house; the 
site and gardens of which have been of 
late years occupied by different streets. 
Vanner, in the Nolitia Mozastuca, 
refers to a charter dated so lony back as 
1287, in which the grant of a place neac 
Holborne, where the black friars had 
before dwelt, to Henry de Lacy, Earl of 
Lincoln, is recited. (Chart. 15, Edw. IT 
m. 6.) Henry de Lacy died here in 
4312; and upon its site the older part of 
Lincoln’s inn has since arisen. 
The Advowson of St. Andrew’s ap- 
pears to have been given at-a very early 
period by a presbiter of the name of 
Gladerinus, to the canons of St. Paul, in 
trust, that the convent of Bermondsey 
should hold it of them; paying a yearly 
acknowledgement of twelve-pence at the 
cathedral. Henry J. confirmed the 
donation by his charter, and it continued 
with the Monks till the dissolution under 
Wenry VILL after which, September 15th, 
1545, the Advowson was given by the 
king to Sir Thomas Wriothesley, after- 
wards Earl of Southampton. It con- 
tinued in his descendants for a number 
of years, and is now in the possession of 
the Duchess of Buccleugh. 
Among the certificates of colleges and 
chantries, in the Augmentation Office, 
dated the first year of Edward VL. is one 
which mentions Holbourn; and _ states 
that at that time there were a thousand 
howselyng people in the parish; as well 
as that Sir Nicholas Barton was parson, 
and his parsonage worth sixteen pounds 
a year: assisted by a chantry priest who 
had forty shillings a year. 
An earlier return of chantries states that, 
“ Amy Edyman and John Rowell by 
their laste willes gave unto the parson 
and church-wardeins of the said parish 
to fynde ‘a priest, landes, and tene- 
fuentes per annum. xijl, vijs. vid.

« Willm Forman gave to the frater~ 
nitie of St. Sythe in the said parishe, for 
the fynding of an obite, and for the sus- 
tentacion of a prieste, a imesway’ per 
annum, xxxvijs. yd.” 
The following short extracts from a 
roll of the Church-warden’s Accompts 
between the 16th of October, 1477, and 
the 16th of October, 1478, will throw 
some little light not only on the expences 
of the time, but on the ceremonies which 
were performed in this as. well as other 
of the Jarger churches.

That it was the wish or rather the 
first intention of King Henry ILI. to have

appears from an original deed of Henry,

longing to the priory of St. John of Je- 
rusalem, The date of itis July 27, 1235,
