Edward IV.

10 HEN. VAVASOR, Mil.]

It is observed of this family, that they never married an Heir, or buried their Wives. The place of their habitation is called Hassell-wood, from wood, which there is not wanting, though stone be far more plentifull, there being a quarry within that Mannor, out of which the stones were taken which built the Cathedrall and Saint Maries Abby in York, the Monasteries of Holden-selby and Beverly, with Thornton-colledge in Lincoln∣shire, and many others. So pleasant also the prospect of the said Hassel-wood, that the Cathedralls of York and Lincoln, being more then 60. miles asunder may thence be discovered.
