It need hardly be stated that Hunter's South Yorkshire—the Deanery of Doncaster—has been the foundation of a very large part of the early history of these pages: no one could possibly write on any part of this neighbourhood without having to acknowledge his great obligations to that learned antiquary and topographer.
The following record was not known to me at the time when the chapter on the Endowments of the Church was written:
"To the Right Honourable the Commissioners for Compositions sitting at Goldsmith's Hall;
"The Humble Petition of the Inhabitants and Parishioners of the Parish of Cawthorne in the County of York
"Humbly sheweth,
"That by order of the Hon. Committee of Plundered Ministers £50 per ann. was granted out of the Profites of the Impropriate Rectory of Penistone to the Minister of Cawthorne aforesaid, the said Rectory lately belonging to the Earl of Arundell, but, the said Rectory out of which the same was to proceed being given by will for the mayntenance of a Free School and Hospitall at Sheffield, your Petitioners could never yet reape any benefitt by the said order, but the Premises are wholey employed accordinge to the direction of the said Will;
