The entry for the Augustinian Priory at Healaugh Park in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) notes: "The priory of Healaugh Park originated in a hermitage in the wood of Healaugh [between 1161 and 1184] [...] In 1203 [...] Henry, Prior of Marton, and the convent of that house, quitclaimed any right they might have over the hermitage in the park of Healaugh. Bertram Haget had four daughters, one of whom, Alice, inherited Healaugh. She married John de Friston, and their daughter Alice married Jordan de Santa Maria, and with him, circa 1218, [...] definitely established the Augustinian Priory at the place where the earlier hermitage had existed. By their charter (fn. 7) they granted to God, St. John the Evangelist of Healaugh Park, and William, prior, and canons there, the site of the monastery and other lands and rights. William, the first prior, was installed on the feast of St. Lucy (13 December) 1218. [...] The house was visited by the commissioners on 9 June 1535 [...] and suppressed on 9 August following."
