Font Notes:
There are twelve entries for York in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE6052/york/] [accessed 8 August 2019] eight of which mentions a church in it [cf. infra]. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York, 1961) notes: "The church of ST. PETER-THE-LITTLE is first mentioned in a document dated between 1121 and 1128", but at the Dissolution" the church was, however, by this time almost extinct. [...] The act of union with All Saints' was completed in 1586. [...] The church lay on the east side of Peter Lane: a few courses of stone that probably formed part of the fabric were still to be seen in a wall in Peter Lane in 1958".
