St. Sa6tour'£f, Sabtourgate.
This church anciently styled the church of St. Saviour
in Marisco (in the marsh) also belongs to the class of those
founded anterior to the time of King William I. The
patronage of the ancient rectory was given by the conqueror
to St. Mary's Abbey ; at the reformation it reverted to
the crown. In 1585, the churches of St. John, in Hungate,
and St. Andrew in St. Andrewgate, (mentioned in
Domesday-Book,) were united to this church and parish.
The present edifice is of antique appearance ; but is in
good repair. It is said to have been constructed from the
remains of a neighbouring Carmelite monastery. The
windows contain some richly painted glass ; and upon one
is depicted the legend of St. Anthony of Padua, and his
pig. Within the church are buried Sir John Hewley and
his lady Dame Sarah, now notorious in consequence of
the expensive chancery suits respecting her will. Churchroom,

at Ousegate, the chancel was taken down and a con
siderable portion of the ground, on which it stood, added
to the street. The exterior of the church consequently
