Notes:
*1 " I meet with nothing about it," says Archbishop Sharp, "unless this be the Holme where Archbishop Alfred purchased lands, which he settled upon the College of Beverley. It is called in my list a Vicarage, but I do not meet with it in the King's Books. There is indeed the Vicarage of Holme, as well as the Rectory there mentioned, but they are both super Spaldingmore." Not noticed in Torre's MS.
