21 This was doubtless Henry Maleverer, B.A. Oxon, 1530, B.C.L. 1535 (Foster). He was a younger son of Sir William Mauleverer of Arncliffe and Wothersome; afterwards Rector of Thurnscoe. James Saier was inst. 12 Aug. 1582, on the deprivation of the last incumbent, and Sampson Squire on 13 July, 1598, on cession of his predecessor; patron, the Queen.

22 Thomas Swyer was priest of the Chantry of Mary Magdalen in the chapel of Thirntoft (Surt. Soc., vol. xci., p. 142).

23 On the death of Brandsby, John Hobson was inst. 31 Dec., 1549; patron, John Constable of Burton Constable in Holderness, esq. The institution books at Chester, which are very imperfect, contain the following, evidently incorrect, particulars: 18 April, 1598, Robert Colleigan, A.M., instituted; patron, Wm. Whitmore of Auckland, gent. 10 July, 1598, Valentine Woode, A.M., inst. on the death of Francis Whitmore, last incumbent; patron, William Woode of Barwicke, by grant from Wm. Midleton, esq. John Brandisby, S.T.P., was collated 28 April, 1534, to the prebend of Dunham in the Collegiate Church of Southwell; he was of the family of Brandsby of Crayke, and also of Oakbank in the parish of Over Silton, Yorks. The following is a short abstract of his will, from the York register : John Brandisbye, clerk, D.D., 7 Dec., 3 Edw. vi. (1549), To be buried where it shall please God. Sister Millisent Liedes

The exors renounced and admon was granted to Millisent Leedes sister of deceased (York Wills, xii. 25). Millicent, the sister mentioned, was wife of Thomas Leedes of Milford, esq., who was connected with the Ellises of Barnborough. Undoubtedly the most interesting feature of this will is the mention of Edmund Geste, or Gheast, who there appears no reason to doubt became Bishop of Rochester and of Salisbury, and the possibilities it suggests of obtaining further information as to his relatives. Inaccurate statements as to his family and parentage, based upon a

pedigree made about fifty years after his death (vide Worcestershire Collections, Harleian Soc., vol. xxvii.), apparently with the object of connecting him with the Worcestershire family of Geste of Handsworth, have been copied in all the accounts of his life (vide Dict. of Nat. Biog., &c.), but he may undoubtedly be claimed as a Yorkshireman. His father was Robert Gest of Brompton in Pickering Lythe, a substantial yeoman who died in 1528, and who mentions in his will his mother Agnes Gest, nephew Robert Gest, Wife Agnes, three sons, Robert, the eldest, William and Edmund, the youngest, two daughters, Alice and Ellen (Surt. Soc., vol. lxxix.). Edmund was born about 1513, tradition says at Northallerton, but may there not be some confusion between Brompton near Northallerton and Brompton in Pickering Lythe? He was educated at York Grammar School, and afterwards at Eton, whence in 1536 he was elected a Scholar of King's Coll., Camb., B.A. 1541, M.A. 1544, chosen one of the defenders of the

Reformed Church in the famous disputation in Westminster Abbey, 1559, one of the revisers of the Liturgy, Bishop of Rochester 1560, and of Salisbury 1571: died 28 Feb., 1576-7, aged about 63, buried in Salisbury Cathedral, to which he bequeathed his valuable library. His Will is in P. C. C. Daughty, 12; the only relative he mentions in it is "my brother Christopher Leedes." One of this name was son of Thomas Leedes and Millicent Brandsby (Foster's Yorks. Vis., 1584-5).

31 This was John Dakyn, LL.D., Archdeacon of the East Riding, 1558, died 9 Nov., 1558. Dr. Whitaker says that "he died very seasonably for himself just eight days before Queen Mary, and probably not without a presentiment of the great change which was then approaching," and gives the inscription to his memory on a plain mural tablet in the church. He has however a more enduring memorial in the Almshouses and School which he founded in 1556, under the style of the Hospital of S. John the Baptist of Kirkby Ravensworth. A very interesting account of the foundation ceremony will be found in Whitaker's Richmondshire - William Barker and
