To George Ferny no pension was allotted. Pensions to “late monks” of
Croxden, Rocester, Tutbury, and Burton are mentioned in subsequent
records. In 1553 the payments to late monks of Tutbury appear as
follows: Prior Thomas Meverell, £50; Thomas Moreton, _alias_
Sutton, £7; Richard Arnold, £6 13s. 4d.; Thomas Raynard, £6; Robert
Stafford, £6; Roger Hilton, £6.
In the pension lists of 2–3 Philip and Mary, Robert Moore, who had been
one of the prebendaries of the collegiate church of Burton-on-Trent,
appears in receipt of £6; John Carter, a “late canon,” £6; William
Sutton, “minor canon,” £6; and William Hether, epistoller, £5; with
Thomas Smith, incumbent of a chantry, £1 5s. 9d.
Monks of Burton who were in receipt of pensions in 1540 were as
follows: John Pole, Robert Robynson, Robert Heithcott, William
Fyssher, John Goodcole, William Symon, and Humphrey Cotton. Of these
the following appear in the list of Mary’s reign above-mentioned:
William Fyssher, £6; William Symonds, £5; and Humphrey Cotton, 40s. The
following also had pensions then: Robert Brocke, _alias_ Brooke
(who succeeded Abbot Edie as Dean), £66 13s. 4d.; John Rudde, £15;
Roger Bulle (? Ball) and John Jermy, _alias_ Heron, £6 13s. 4d.
There are “annuities” also to twenty-five others, two of £5, one of £4,
one of £3 6s. 8d., two of 53s. 4d., one of 50s., and three of 40s.,
and so on to 20s., but none of the names are the same as appear in
_Valor Ecclesiasticus_, though John Moseley (20s.) may be the son
of Richard Mosley, bailiff of Findern and Stapenhill, who received 13s.
4d. in 1535.
