At Newark, Dame Fleming obtained a license from Edward III, to found a house (c.1365) to the intent that priests, celebrating at the numerous altars in the church…should converse and associate together. Each priest had a chamber with the use of rooms in common. The chantry house at the dissolution, in 1550, was sold. (1)
