VIII., having previously been Prior of Holy Island. See his will hereafter. 2 These notices are valuable. Here is a will, accompanied by an inventory, both acknowledgedly in the hand-writing of the Curate of the parish. Hymers was a Durham man, and his inventory goes far to prove that he was a schoolmaster upon the island. The Reveleys were men of considerable property at Ancroft, &c., upon the main land, but within the parish. 3 The widow of a junior branch of Ogle, of Ogle and Bothal Castle, living in the parish of Bothal. |
