On 25 April, 1394, John de Manfeld, rector of a mediety of St. Mary's Bishophill senior, bequeathed the residue of his estate “Henrico de Manfeld consanguineo meo," to Julian his wife, and to Alice, daughter of the said Henry de Manfeld (Reg.

ROBt. H. SKAIFE. THE Yorkshire Archäological Journal. THE CHURCH IN RIPON.1 By Rev. CANON J. T. FOWLER, D.C.L., F.S.A. We know comparatively little of the Church in Ireland before the fifth century, in Scotland before the sixth, or in England before the seventh century. St. Augustine came over from Rome to the south of England in 597, and St. Aidan from Iona to the north in 635. The known history of Ripon begins about twenty-five years after this, for about 660 a Celtic monastery was founded here by Alchfrid, prince of Deira, Eata being the first abbot. This old abbey, according to Leland, stood on lower ground than the present Minster, about two hundred yards away to the north, where was afterwards a Chapel of Our Lady, whence the name of the street, St. Mary Gate, which forms the eastern boundary of the site. Here St. Cuthbert held the office of guestmaster, and on a certain occasion ministered to the necessities of a mysterious guest, who was supposed to have been an angel. These earliest monks brought with them from Lindisfarne the Celtic traditions with regard to the time of keeping Easter, the form of the tonsure, and other matters in which the Celtic traditions differed from those of Rome that were introduced by Roman missionaries. Now about 664, only four years after its foundation, this first monastery was bestowed by Alchfrid upon his friend Wilfrid5, who had been to Rome, indeed he is said to have been the first Englishman to visit the Eternal City, and he came back full of Roman ideas. He was a man of great ability and determination, and insisted on the Roman Easter, tonsure, etc., being 1 This paper was read before the Yorkshire Archæological Society in the Minster on July 12th, 1911, but as some matters had to be passed over for want of time, these and other additions are here included, together with references to authorities. 4 2 * Bede, Vit.
