In 1466 licence was granted to Sir John Boyville to found by the church at Stockerston a perpetual almshouse, for one chaplain and three poor persons, and to grant it funds in mortmain to the value of £10 yearly. (fn. 1) Boyville died before the hospital could be founded, and in 1468 his executors obtained a licence to found an almshouse for three poor persons, with a chantry chaplain. The almshouse was to be dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the chaplain was licensed to obtain for himself and the three poor lands with a yearly value of up to £12. (fn. 2) In 1535 the hospital was still in existence, and it was then noted that the three poor persons were paid £3. 11s. yearly, while the gross yearly income of the hospital was £12. 3s.
