--Gentleman's Magazine (N.S), xxv. 37. The chapel of
Guy's Cliffe was erected by Richard Beauchamp for the repose of
the soul of his "ancestor," Guy of Warwick, the hero of
romance.
[2] Mr. W. T. Carter, of the Warwick Public Libtary, has kindly
given me much information about St. Mary's Church library.
Bequests to churches of service books, such as that to
the church of St. Mary, Castle-gate, York (1394), were
numerous; they may be set apart with bequests of vestments,
plate, and money. Some bequests have a different
character. A chancellor of York, Thomas de Farnylaw,
leaves books, bound and unbound, to the Vicar of Waghen;
a volume of sermons and a "quire" to the church of
Embleton; and a Bible and Concordance to be chained in
the north porch of St. Nicholas' Church, Newcastle, "for
common use, for the good of the soul of his lord William
of Middleton" (1378). A chaplain leaves service books,
Speculum Ecclesiae, and the Gospels in English to Holy
Trinity Church, Goodramgate, York (1394). A Bristol
merchant bequeaths two books on canon law to St. Mary
Redcliffe Church, there to be preserved for the use of the
vicar and chaplains (1416).
