Licet prior et capitulum ecclesiae Cathedralis Dunelmensis per privilegia sua sint immunes a solutione procurationum pro ecclesiis eis appropriatis, tamen in visitatione Domini Thomae Longley nuper Episcopi Dunelm. vicarii earundem ecclesiarum qui tenentur ad onera ordinaria procurationes solverunt. [N.B. These pages appear to have been written about the close of the fifteenth century, or (more probably) about the early years of the sixteenth century.] ON THE FOUNDATION OF DURHAM COLLEGE AT OXFORD. 66 Antony-a-Wood (Ed. Clarke), ii, p. 263 seq., says: That it was not founded till after the yeare 1333 is easy to be contradicted from good proof . . . . and that Richard de Bury had noe hand in the first foundation of this College." Wood goes on to state that this House was begun about 1290, for Richard of Hoton became Prior in 1289; and he says: "iste Prior locum Oxon. comparavit et aedificare fecit." "And for the greater enlargement of their enclosure, Mabile Wasse, Abbess of Godstow (see Reg. Godstow, p. 121), with her Convent, willed and granted to them divers tenements and lands. And among the rest whatsoever of right they had in [a] void ground near to Perilous Hall, in Horsemonger Street." The first Prior of Durham College was John of Beverley, in the year 1333; he was afterwards locally sainted. WILL OF R. NEVILLE, A.D. 1355.
