[55] The date is shown by a will of the 24th of August, 1483, in which a sum is left towards the building of the chapel to be erected on Rotherham Bridge. See J.

Smith, i. 29), which chapel had been first dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury, but had apparently just been rebaptized, when Leland saw it, Henry VIII having decided by a proclamation of November 16, 1538, that other saints might be saints, but this one was not.

S. Daniell King.” A copy is bound in the MS. Harl. 2073, as fol. 126. Catterick Bridge (_supra_ p. 54) is among the bridges there represented. [67] “The Itinerary of John Leland,” ed.
