Moxby Priory / Moleby / Molseby [disappeared?]

Moxby is one of the ten places mentioned in the Domesday survey entry for Moxby [Hall] [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE5966/moxby-hall/] [accessed 7 October 2019]; the multiple-place entry reports a church in it. The entry for the Augustinian Nunnery at Moxby in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) notes: "The nunnery of Molseby, or Moxby, to use the modern form of the name, originated in the foundation by Bertram de Bulmer of a double monastery for canons and nuns of the Augustinian order at Marton, either at the end of the reign of Stephen, or the beginning of that of Henry II. [...] The canons and nuns did not long continue under the same roof, and Henry II gave the adjacent territory of Moxby to the nuns, whither they removed before 1167. [...] The nuns continued to follow the Augustinian rule, [...] and their house and chapel were under the invocation of St. John the Evangelist. [...] The house was supervised by the commissioners on 28 May 1536 and suppressed on 4 August following".
