Quarles / Gueruelei / Guervelei / Huerueles / Huerveles

There are two entries for Quarles [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF8838/quarles/] [accessed 11 December 2013], but neither mentions a church or cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) reports of a fine levied for the conveyance of "the advowson of the church of this town" ca. 1259, and notes; "Richard Buckenham occurs vicar about 1300." Blomefield (ibid.) further notes that the church had originally been a rectory but had become a vicarage "after its appropriation to Creke abbey" [cf. infra], and informs: "The Church has been demolished many years, and was in ruins in 1571." White's Directory of 1845 notes about Quarles: "had anciently a church, which was in ruins in 1571, and no traces of it now remain. It was subject to Creake Abbey, and was given by the Countess of Richmond, mother of Henry VII., to the above-named college" [Christ's College, Cambridge]. Kelly's Directory of 1883 notes: "It had formerly a church, but in ruins as long ago as 1570; some traces of ruins, supposed to be the remains of the church are still discernible near Quarles farm." [NB: "Creake Abbey probably had its origins in 1206 when Sir Robert and Lady Alice de Nerford established the small chapel of St Mary of the Meadows at Lingerescroft, bordering the tiny River Burn."
