615. Carta comitisse deecclesiade Tadecastre. [25 Mar.,1189] Matilda de Percy countess of Warwick came to the rescue of Sallay abbey, her father's foundation. Situated in a foggy and rainy district, the standing crops white unto harvest ordinarily rotted in the stalk and after 40 years the house was in dire poverty, with an intolerable scarcity of food and clothing. The lord abbot of Clairvaulx and the visiting abbots had advised either the total destruction of the abbey or its removal to some spot where it might be decently maintained. The countess, with the advice of Julian of Inys and William of Mortemar, abbots-visitors; in the presence of Nicholas, dean and parson of the church of Tadcaster, and with the advice of Sir William Vavasor and other friends, granted to the abbey the church of Tadcaster, the chapel of Haselwood, the annual pension of Newton church and a carucate in Catton her birth-place.
