_Berington._—On the 20th July 1199 King John confirms to the canons regular of Lantony, among their other possessions, the half of Berington, which had been given to them by the Earl Roger for the procuration of thirteen lepers—“_Ex dono Rogeri Comitis aliam dimidietatem de Berington ad procurationem tredecim leprosorum._”—(_Rot. Chart. in Turr. Lund._ vol. i. p. 7.) “Procuratio” seems to be used here in the sense of _necessaria ad victum et vestitum_.—(See Ducange, t. v. col. 885.) _Carlisle._—The lepers of Carlisle had letters of protection from King John on 25th February 1201.—(_Rot. Chart. in Turr. Lund._ vol. i. p. 101.) _Badele, near Darlington, in the county of Durham._—The reception of a leprous girl into the hospital of Badele, about three miles from Darlington, is related by Reginald of Durham in his _Libellus de Vita et Miraculis S. Godrici_, p. 456. Lond. 1845. (Surtees Soc.) The work was written before 1195. _Canterbury._—The date of foundation of this hospital is left blank in the list of British Leper Hospitals, p. 158. It certainly existed before the death of Archbishop Lanfranc in 1089, for the contemporary historian of Canterbury expressly says it was built by him:—“Ligneas domos in devexo montis latere fabricans, eas ad opus Leprosorum delegavit, viris in istis a fœminarum societate sejunctis.”—(_Eadmeri Hist. Novorum_, p. 9. Lond. 1623.) _York._—_One_ leper hospital at York is noted in the list of British Leper Hospitals, at p. 161. There were _four_. The will of Henry of Blythe, painter of York, in 1365, has this bequest:—“Item lego quatuor domibus Leprosorum civitatis Eboracencis equaliter ij solidos dividendos.”—(_Testamenta Eboracensia_, vol. i. p. 75. Lond. 1836. Surtees Soc.) The will of Master Adam Wigan, rector of St. Saviour’s, York, in 1433, has—“Item lego cuilibet domui quatuor domorum leprosorum iij s. iiij d.—(_Test. Ebor._ vol. ii. p. 26. Lond. 1855. Surtees Soc.) The will of Richard Russell, citizen and merchant of York, in 1435, shows that at York, as elsewhere, the leper hospitals were beyond the city walls:—“Et cuilibet leproso in quatuor domibus Leprosorum in suburbiis Ebor., v solidos.”—(_Test. Ebor._ vol. ii. p. 55.) Again, in the will of William Gyrlyngton, draper of York, in 1444:—“Item lego quatuor domibus Leprosorum in suburbiis Ebor., xx solidos per equales portiones.”—(_Test. Ebor._ vol. ii. p. 93.) The lepers of York have similar bequests in 1446, in 1454, and 1441.—(_Test. Ebor._ vol. ii. pp. 115, 182, 187.) I do not observe any legacies to them after 1454. _Beverley._—The leper hospital here, as at York, Canterbury, Glasgow, Stirling, Aberdeen, etc., stood in the suburbs. The will of John Brompton, merchant of Beverley, in 1444, has this legacy—“Item leprosis extra barras boriales Beverlaci ij s. et dimidiam celdram carbonum.”—(_Test. Ebor._ vol. ii. p. 97.)
