At what precise period this building was erected is not known neither is the name of the founder retained, It was however in existence in the Year 1296, when Bartholomew de Englisham, the Chaplain and Superintendent of the Establishment swore fealty to Edward the first. The building is now entirely demolished. It was not even known to tradition, and had it not been noticed in ancient history it would have been lost in utter Oblivion. |
