PhD thesis, University of Leeds. The Chapel of St Mary and the Holy Angels was founded next to York Minster in the late 1170s by Archbishop Roger of Pont L’Évêque, and was reformed in 1258 by Archbishop Sewal de Bovill.

The charters list the chapel’s endowments as the following parish churches within the medieval Diocese of York: Otley, Bardsey, Everton, Hayton, Sutton with the chapel of Scroby, Calverley, Hooton Pagnell, Harewood, Thorp Arch, Retford, Clarborough with its chapels of Gringley, Welham and Bolham, and Collingham. Data relating to the prosopographical study of the chapel’s canons from c. 1380-1520, which is the focus of Chapter Four within the thesis.
