        Yeddingham, formerly called Little Maries or De Parvo Marisco.  Here
   Roger de Clerc, before the year 1168, founded a small Monastery for eight or
   nine Benedictine Nuns, to the honour of the Virgin Mary, granting them all
   the lands in this place, with other privileges.  At the dissolution in 1534,
   their income amounted to 2lL. 16s. 8d. --Dugdale, and 26L. 6s. 8d. Speed.
   The site, in 1543, was granted to Robert Holgate, Bishop of Landaff,
   afterwards Archbishop of York.  Sir William Dugdale says, "that there were
   delivered in this house, to the Prioress and Convent, 62 loaves daily; to 9
   brethren 12 loaves a piece weekly, to brother James, 14 loaves; to three
   priests, four chaplains, and other officers accordingly; and canibus in
   singulis maneriis, trigenta novem panes de pane duriori; i.e. to the dogs in
   each manor, 39 loaves of the coarser sort of bread."  These are supposed to
   have been wolf dogs kept, at first by permission, (wolves been anciently a
   royal game,) afterwards by obligation, to protect both cattle, inhabitants,
   and travellers, from those dangerous animals, which formerly abounded upon
   the Wolds.  --Burton, -Dugdale. -Hist of Scarborough.
