    8. (XIX) Stephanus Capellanus gave to the Hospital all his land at Southcrofte in Gilligate. [This donation, if not in the time of Pudsey, cannot have been later than the early part of the thirteenth century. For in a Composition between the Hospital and the Convent of Durham, apparently of that period, the Hospital is found to have been already in the possession of this Southcrofte.

Who this Walter de Witton was has not been discovered. The mention in his charter of Nicholaus quondam episcopus Dunelmensis as having confirmed it shows the donation to have been in De Farnham's time. 11 (VIII) Under the same bishop (described by the donor is patris et domini mei), John de Romesey the bishop's seneschal, granted to the Hospital a rent of 65s., which Leoninus, son of William de Heriz, and William
