MODERN YOBK. 87 to the archbishop, after which both medieties were united into one rectory at the collation of the archbishop of York. On the 27th of June, 1585, the churches of St. Maurice and St. John Delpike were united to this church, under the statute I. Edward VI. The present fabric is evidently one of great antiquity ; as it is partly constructed of grit. The windows contain some painted glass with effigies of St. Paulinus, St. William, and the arms of the Mowbray's, Percies, Rosses, Veres, &c. Church-room, 500; net value, £138. gt. fflauxut, iJaonfegatt. This ancient church is situate without Monk Bar. We find it recorded that the church of St. Maurice in Monkgate and Newbigging, anciently appertained to the pre bends of Fridaythorpe and Fenton, until Archbishop Walter Grey united the medieties into one rectory, which he assigned to the prebendary of Fenton. In 1585, the vicarage was united to the Holy Trinity, Goodramgate, under the statute of I. Edward VI., but the church was retained ; and St. Maurice still remains a separate pa rish. The patronage belongs to the archbishop of York. Church-room, 410. dampslon,

He willed at the same time two silver candlesticks for the high altar of St. Sampson's church. At a visitation of the dean and chapter in 1755, the Rev. Joseph Boyes, curate of St. Sampson's, was pre sented by the Rev. Joseph Williamson " for frequently and obstinately resorting to a certain conventicle or place of worship where the methodists met, situate within the parish of St. Sampson, contrary to the canons and eccle siastical laws of this realm ; and thereby not only setting a bad example to his parishioners but to the city in general, and giving occasion to libertines to raise objections against the established church ; and also for being guilty of the most unnatural crime of dissuading as many persons as he could from attending upon the reformed Apostolic church." Mr. Boyes called upon his accuser to justify the charge, and obtained a decree against him with costs.
