BAYNTON, (Yorkshire, E.R.) 8 m. S. W. of Fordlingham, in the road from Beverley to Kilham, in that mountainous tract,
called Yorkswold, had formerly a chantry, and was the Lp. of Peter de Mauley, in the R. of Hen. III. and from his family
it passed, in the R. of Edw. III. to John de Grey of Rotherfield; from whose posterity it passed, either by marriage, or
purchase, to other families; of which we have no farther account, than that the rectory is 200 l. a year, in the gift of
St. John's-college, Oxford.
