NAMES OF YORKSHIRE EX-RELIGIOUS, 1573; THEIR PENSIONS AND SUBSIDIES

TO THE QUEEN THEREON.

By T. M. FALLOW, F.S.A.

THE following list is taken from the original in the Record Office.1 It is of interest as supplying a list of those members of the religious houses in Yorkshire who had survived till 1573, as well as the chantry priests and other clergy whose offices had been abolished at the Reformation I have endeavoured to identify as many of the persons named as I could, but in a few instances I have failed in this. The identifications are added within brackets, otherwise the list is printed verbatim. It will, I think, be read with interest.

It was a particularly mean act to have taxed these poor people in this manner on the pittances which had been granted them when they were ejected from their homes and turned adrift on the world, more especially as many of them must have reached extreme old age and feebleness of body at the time.

Ebor'.
