Spencer Stanhope, Richd. Thorp, Giles Shaw, George Shirt, J. Wilcock, with seven other names in pencil which were never signed in ink.
The oldest Chalice—"the Parishioners'"—bears the old York Hall-mark before 1692—a half fleur-de-lys half rosecrowned and the date letter 1627-8, with an unknown makers mark.
