Nostell Priory / Nostla

There is multiple-place entry for Nostell [Priory] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE4017/nostell-priory/] [accessed 7 October 2019] reports two priests and two churches in it. The entry for the Augustinian priory here at Nostell in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) Notes: "The origin of the great and wealthy priory of Nostell is not free from obscurity. It seems quite certain that on or near the site where the Augustinian priory was afterwards founded there was a hermitage dedicated in honour of St. James [...] in which a certain unknown number of hermits were congregated. [...] It is clear, however, that the canons were not settled at Nostell till the time when Thurstan was Arch bishop of York, which was not till 1114"; in one of the royal donations mentioned in the VCH entry (ibid.) the advocation of the conventual church is noted: "the church of St. Oswald of Nostell and the canons regular there [...] The house was surrendered by Robert Ferrer, prior (afterwards Bishop of St. David's), and twenty-eight canons on 20 November, 1540, [...] and the site was afterwards granted to Dr. Legh, [...] one of the notorious commissioners."
