[1292];-" Johannis Horworth, prioris," 9 June [resigned 1393, see Guisbrough Chartulary, Surtees Soc., ii., 1894, p. xliii.];-and "Walteri de Thorp, quondam prioris," 9 Mar.

Among the benefactors are "Roberti de Brus, fundatoris," 11 May, [1141], "Agnetis uxoris fundatoris," 18 Nov., "Johannis de Fauconberg," 17 Sept., and many other members of the Bruce and Falconbridge families, besides others whose names are given in the index. A similar, but not identical, list of benefactors' obits, extracted by Robert Glover (ob. 1588) "from a Calendar belonging to the Priory of Gisburne," was printed in Coll. Top. et Gen., lv. p. 261. At 16 May is the entry "Incendium ecclesie nostre anno domini M^oCC^o lxxx^oix^o xvij^o kal. iunij prima die Rogationum," and at 19 May "Incendium lxix domorum fumalium in Gyseburne anno domini M^o CCCC^o xiij^mo (see Guisbrough Chartulary, ii. p. 353). f. 168.

11. "Suffragia Sanctorum," followed by other prayers, and by the salutations of the Five Wounds. A 14th cent. addition, imperfect at beginning. f. 339.

12. Processionale, with music; preceded by a Tonale in a later hand. f. 342. At the beginning, (f. 1) is a leaf from F. Grose's Antiquities, iv. (1776), containing an engraving and description of Guisbrough Priory. Vellum (except f. 1); ff. 347. XIIIth cent. (after 1246, see art. 3), with additions xiv.-xvth centt. Initials in red and blue, more rarely gold and other colours. Many of the margins have been cut away, slightly mutilating the text.
