'^ It is curious that there are no outgoings at Northallerton ; generally there was some small subscription to be deducted. ^ It is probable that these loans were mvohc?ttary contributions on the part of the pensioned ex-rectors of Rodington and Fishlake. ^ See Introduction, notes 15, 17, and 35. Trinity College still pays a quit-rent of 5^. to Christ Church for these small sums due from Durham College to St. Frideswide's and Osney. *° Sir Ralph de Lumley, who married Eleanor da. of John third Lord Nevill of Raby, and was summoned as a Baron 1 384-1 399, was Lord of Simonside alias South Preston at this time, but there is no clue to the transaction recorded here. He and William de Blaykeston were the 'firmarii' (lessees, perhaps as trustees) of the four Nevill advowsons. A William de Lumley frequently acted for Berington in legal matters. ^^ See Introduction, note 36. ^^ The horses' names are often given; e.g. in Berington's inventory of the stock on the estates in 1389 we find 'bayard porter, bayard pyn- hors, bayard cutte, gray Scot, bayard blind, gray Frampton, gray ambler, gryme, gray doxo, bay blind, gray bleb, gray Rougton, Scot, brune, gray lyard, Gyll, bird.' ^^ ' Shalloons for mortuaries,' i. e. blankets taken as a sort of heriot by the rector after the death of a parishioner. ^^ Wyndocloth, winnowing-cloth : wyndyl, winnowing-fork.

Dun. p. ccclxii). ^ Warden c. 1 481 -1484. * ' As leased.' ^ The advowson of Brantingham in Howdenshire, a large parish on the north bank of the Humber, 11 miles west of Hull, was one of the most ancient possessions of the church of Durham. The Convent obtained a licence, Aug. 4, 1458, to appropriate the rectory to the College on condition that the vicar's stipend and other ancient charges fas stated among the outgoings) were regularly paid, and a further ' ordinacio ' framed by the Archbishop of York, Aug. 4, 1459, stipulated for payments to the poor and the York chapter. This property was granted, March 7, 1550, to Walter Jobson of Hull, the Crown reserving certain rentcharges, in- chiding one of £\j due to Durham College; but the patronage and impropriation reverted to the Dean and Chapter in the seventeenth century. The chapelry of Blacktoft was less closely connected with the mother parish than that of Ellerkar (Hutchinson's Durham, iii. 478-80) ; it is 8 miles E. by S. of Howden and 20 miles from Hull. ^ The northern part of the original garden or grove of the Durham Hall, as granted c, 1290, was leased at a nominal rent to the Provisor and Cistercian monks of Bernard College, founded by Archbishop Chichele in 1437. After the dissolution this land, for which the occupiers seldom paid the rent, was given to the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church on Dec. 11, 1546, and they sold it to Sir Thomas White. It is now covered by the second quadrangle and (possibly) the southern part of the garden of St. John's College. '^ The new arrangements providing for the proper payment of the vicar and other parochial charges; cf.

The 'bulla indulgencie' of Boniface IX, printed by Wilkins (Cone. II. 618-19), cost 13J. d,d. in 1396. A licence from the Archbishop, dated Oct. 8, 1432, is printed in Hist. Dun., App. cxcix.

They are generally dated by reference to the usual quarter-days, but sometimes other saints-days are mentioned, such as the festivals of SS.
