There is an entry for this Easby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/NZ1800/easby/] [accessed 9 October 2019] but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The entry for the Premonstratensian Abbey of St. Agatha in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) notes: "The abbey of St. Agatha, Easby, was founded by Roald, Constable of Richmond Castle, in 1152. [...] In May 1424 a commission was issued to Nicholas, Bishop of Dromore, to dedicate the conventual church of St. Agatha. [...] Probably there had been considerable alterations made about the beginning of the 15th century, and this episcopal act was a kind of re-dedication; or, as the churchyard is specially mentioned, the matter may have been primarily concerned with that. [...] The date of the dissolution of St. Agatha's is variously given. Clarkson says it took place in 1535, being surrendered by ' Robert Bampton, last abbot, and seventeen canons.' [...] The house appears in the list of ' Monasteries under £200 ' in 1536. [...] The Dissolution had practically taken place before 22 September 1536, for on that date Chr. Lasselles offered to the Treasurer and Court of Augmentations the fine of £600 [...] 'for S. Agathes, let to Lord Scrope for £300.'" The entry for the ruins of the abbey in Historic England [Listing NGR: NZ1850700307] notes: "Ruins of Premonstratensian Abbey of St Agatha. Late C12, early C13, c1300, early C14, early C15.
