IX.—Some Further Letters of Fraternity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2011
Extract
Since the publication in Archaeologia of the paper read by me before the Society on 12th February 1925,1 have come across a considerable number, nearly one hundred in all, of Letters of Fraternity, in addition to the one hundred and seventy-eight which I was able to include in the Appendix to my paper. I owe the knowledge of most of these to the kindness of the same correspondents whose help I acknowledged at the end of my article, notably to our Fellows Dr. Rose Graham and Dr. H. H. H. Craster, Mr. R. C. Fowler, whose recent loss we have to deplore, and Dr. A. G. Little, F.B.A. My thanks are also due to the Duke of Rutland, F.S.A., for kindly allowing me to examine the Cluniac letter of fraternity from Lenton Priory, now at Belvoir Castle; to T. Bruce Dilks, Esq., of Bridgwater, for bringing to my notice the nine fraternity letters preserved among the Borough archives there, and for lending me his transcripts of them; and to the Dean and Chapter of Durham, for permitting the reproduction of the Brigettine letter from Syon to Durham which is illustrated in pi. LXVI.

page 187 note 1 In the case of the letter issued by , Durham to Partington, John (Durham Obituary Rolls, Surtees Society, xxxi, no)Google Scholar it is noted that it has been surrendered to the house that granted it, upon the death of the recipient. It is possible that in the case of a very poor or thrifty-minded house, the letter might be re-issued to a fresh person; and this may be the explanation of the curious fact that the letter issued in 1517 by Muchelney, Somerset, to Sir John Theke and his wife Elizabeth, was afterwards adapted to serve for ‘dominus [? Johannes] Popylwyke’ (Somerset Record Society, xlii, 62) and the names of John Spenlove and Mary met in the 1481 letter from the Shrewsbury Austin Friars, now in the Shrewsbury Museum, have been altered to that of ‘Hew Lety’.
