Summary
1485.
The sweating sickness which at this period proved so fatal to the kingdom in general, prevailed here to a great extent.
An act of resumption passed this year, contains exceptive clauses in favour of King's Hall and Christopher Ursewyke the King's almoner Master or Keeper of that House.
1485–6
After his coronation, the King began a progress towards the north. He came from Waltham to Cambridge, “wher his Grace was honorably receyvede both of the Universitie and of the towne.” He was here on the 12th of March. From Cambridge he proceeded by Huntingdon and Stamford to Lincoln, in which city he kept the feast of Easter.
1486.
On the 30th of March died Thomas Bourchier Cardinal of St. Cyriacus in Thermis and Archbishop of Canterbury. By his will he gave £125 to the University, to be kept in a chest for the support of poor scholars. This legacy was afterwards united to a former benefaction for a similar purpose of Dr. Richard Billingford.
The subjoined items appear in the accounts of Robert Ratheby and Richard Holmes treasurers of the town, for the year ending at the Nativity of the Virgin:–
For monies paid to four ditchers for 12 perches of ditching between Coofen and Helmedew, 4s. 8d.; and in ditching 24 perches at Estenall, 4s. 10d.
William Dyker of Barnwell for mending the way at Coldham for the beasts of the town to pass, 6d.
