To the abbot of St. Mary's, Blanchland, and the prior of Brenkborn in the diocese of Durham. Mandate, as below. It was set forth to Pius II. by William Bywel, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Stanfordham, in the diocese of Durham, that formerly Lewis, bishop of Durham, desiring to end the continual litigation which arose out of the said vicarage, made, with the consent of Hugh de Mohaut, a canon of the priory of Hextildesham in the diocese of York, who had faculty from the prior and convent thereof, and who was present, a certain agreement, statute and ordinance, to wit, that the vicars for the time being should yearly receive from the prior and convent 40 marks of silver in cash (fn. 7) upon the fruits &c. of the said church, and reserved to the said vicarage or its vicars the tithe of hay of the whole parish, a manse to dwell in on the west side of the rectory, a house contiguous to the cemetery on the same west side, together with a garden and curtilage adjoining the said manse (fn. 8); that whereas it was found in the appropriation of the said church to the prior and convent that the vicarage was to be served by one of the canons of the priory, to be presented by the prior and convent to the bishop, and by him instituted as vicar, bound to exercise the cure of the said vicarage, and whereas it was not becoming that religious should dwell alone, the said bishop ordained that a canon, who should be assigned to the said vicar as a companion, should receive from the prior and convent bread and beer, clothing, bed, and all other necessaries which do not pertain to food, and that food should, with the exception of the said bread and beer, be provided for him by the vicar; that the said bishop further ordained that the vicars for the time being should bear all ordinary burdens of the said church, with some exceptions, and that the prior and convent should be bound to find at their expense a chaplain at Stanfordham and Yngow; saving in all things canonical obedience and the discipline of the said order etc., as was said to be more fully contained in the letters of the said bishop, sealed with his seal. The said pope, therefore, at the petition of the said William, ordered the above abbot and the warden of the hospital of St. Giles, Keppyer, in the diocese of Durham, if they found the facts to be as stated, to confirm the said ordinance, as is said to be more fully contained in letters of the said pope. At the petition of the said vicar to the present pope for confirmation of the foregoing, the pope hereby orders the above abbot and prior, if they find the said bishop's letters lawful, to confirm them.
