The entry for this Augustinian priory in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) notes: "In December 1320 [...] Pope John XXII issued a mandate to the Archbishop of York to license Thomas Wake to found a monastery of the order of St. Augustine in his town of Cottingham, and to incorporate the church of the said town, being of the founder's patronage, with it", but many obstacles arose and "The pope granted licence that the monastery should be removed to another fit place, and when so founded, the archbishop was to order the canons, and unite the church of Cottingham to it. The monastery therefore was removed to Newton. By his foundation charter, dated the Sunday after the Conversion of St. Paul (25 January) 1325-6, (fn. 6) Thomas Wake granted to God, Blessed Mary, and all saints, in honour of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and for his soul, and those of his wife, his father and mother, and his ancestors and heirs, &c., to the canons regular of Alta Prisa his manors and vills of Newton, Willerby, and Wolfreton, with the rents and services of the free tenants arid serfs, ordaining that those three vills Newton (que nunc Hawtemprice vocatur), Willerby, and Wolfreton should be made a liberty, with a court of frankpledge distinct from Cottingham, and should have assize of bread and ale, &c. [...] The commissioners supervised the house on 26 May 1536 [...] and suppressed it on 12 August following."
