Exaltation of the Holy Cross, before John de Eyton, Sheriff of Salop, by
virtue of a certain Writ to the said Sheriff directed, and to this
Inquisition annexed, by oath of William Banaster of Bromdon, and others,
who say upon their oath that William Tyrington, late Parson of this
Chapel, had committed waste, dilapidation, and destruction in this
Chapel, to wit, in throwing down, dilapidating, and destroying this
Chapel, to the value of one hundred pounds, through the defect of the
roofing, repairing, and supporting of this Chapel, that is, in lead,
stone, timber, and glass windows, and also in the carrying away one
chalice and divers entire vestments, with all the ornaments ordained for
the said chalice and vestments pertaining to the said Chapel, and by
destroying divers images lately being in the same Chapel, by reason of
his improvident custody of the said Chapel, and of his neglect of the
repairing of this Chapel, to the value aforesaid, beginning the defects
aforesaid in the Feast of Easter, in the 48th year of King Edward the
Third, till the death of this William Tyrington, so that this Chapel was
utterly destroyed and wholly thrown down and laid in ruins by this
William de Tyrington, late Parson of this Chapel, and so that two hundred
marks were not sufficient to amend and repair it, with the ornaments
lately being therein.
1410.—A Grant by King Henry the Fourth, reciting, that whereas he had
granted to “Roger Yve, of Leeton, Rector of our Chapel of St. John the

deceased, and certain of our rebels, lately took place,” in order to
build “a certain Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene,” of which he was appointed
Warden, with power to choose five Chaplains to celebrate Divine Service
in the said Chapel every day. The Grant then proceeds to endow the said
Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene at Battlefield with various possessions, and
among others with the Advowson of “the King’s Free Chapel of St. Michael
within the Castle of Salop, to which the Chapel of St. Julian of Salop is
appurtenant or appendant.”
