30. THE HOSPITAL OF WERHALE
In 1265 Sir Marmaduke, knt., son of Geoffrey,
granted to Richard, then warden of the hospital
of Werhale, and his successors an annual sum of
5 marks, on condition that he and his heirs should
be released from a certain payment to the hospital
of the corn from two bovates of land, which in
time past had been made annually by his predecessors. At the date of an inspeximus of this
grant made by Bishop Bury, 1 June, 1344, John
de Lynce was warden of the hospital. (fn. 1)

Hunter's MSS. No. 37. Surtees gives the names
of Richard and John de Lynce in his list of the masters
of St. Edmund's Hospital, Gateshead (Hist. Dur. ii,
127), but mentions no authority for doing so. The
above appears to be the only reference to the hospital
of Werhale, which may possibly be identical with one
of the hospitals at Gateshead. (?) |
