Arthur Dnncombe, of Kilnwick Percy; and there are memorial windows to members of the Loftus1 and Powell families : the font consists of a square basin of fossilized marble on a circular pedestal: there are several memorials to the Dolman and other families, including an elegant mural monument to Thomas Dolman esq. ob. 1589 ; another to Robert Southeby, ob. 1594; and a third to Robert Denison esq. d. 1829, and his wife, d. 1837: at the, west end of the church is a beautifully carved cross, c. 1360, discovered in the churchyard : on the pedestal is a modern inscription in Latin, which translated reads: — '•' Here Paulinus .preached in the year 627:" in the chancel is a large monument to the Denison family, formerly lords of the manor, over which is a carving in oak of " the Crucifixion," executed in Germany, about 1500; and well preserved: close to the foot of the pulpit is a stone to Margaret Easingwald, last prioress of the Benedictine nunnery of Wilberfoss : the church was partially restored
and reseated in 1850; in 1854 the chancel walls were refaced, and in 1879 and 1889 farther restorations were effected, at a cost of £1,150: the nave, roof and aisles were restored in 1901 at a cost of £3,600 : a memorial tablet has been placed (1920) in the church to the memory of those who fell in the Great War : there are 600 sittings.

SCHOOLS.
The Endowed Grammar School, on West Green, was originally connected with a guild in the parish church, called "the Society of Brethren of the Nnme of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin & St. Nicholas of Pocklington," the seal of which, together with an ancient silver cocking bell, belonging to the school, is still preserved: the guild was founded by John Dolman LL.D. archdeacon of Suffolk (one of a family who were for centuries lords of the manor of Pocklington), in the 6th year of Henry VIII. (24th May, 1.514); & when subsequently, in the reign of that monarch, all such guilds were suppressed, tho property original'y left tn the suild was preserved by the exertions of the founder's family for the benefit of the school: the Master & Fellows of St. John's College, Cambridge, under the arrangement then made, appointed the master of the school, who, in turn with the church wardens, appointed the usher; & the master & usher together formed a corporation, called the " Corporation of Master & Usher of the Free Grammar School of Pocklington." Attached to or connected with the school ore the following scholarships & exhibitions:—
1, Four Dowman exhibitions each of £40 yearly & tenable for 4 years at St. John's College, Cambridge ;
2. the Ackroyd exhibition of £50 for 3 years at either Oxford or Cambridge, may be competed for by boys from this school;
3, the Ann Watson exhibitions of ,£25 each yearly & tenable for 4 years at any university, similarly open;
4, three County Council scholarships of £60 yearly each, tenable for 2 years, by natives of or residents in the East Biding, at the Leeds University, Leeds, Firth College, Sheffield, Owens College, Manchester, the Royal College, of Science, South Kensington, or any other college or university approved by tne County Council;
5, exhibitions established by the governors at any place of higher education, or of scientific or professional training
the following are tenable only at the school:—
1, Ten local exhibitions for day boys, each of the yearly value of £10;
2, entrance scholarships for boarders, of £2. to £30 each yearly, awarded by examination;
3, Alimited number of entrance exhibitions of £10 to £15.
The revenues of the school arose mainly from land situated in various parts of the East Riding, &. amounted to about £800 a year; the land has recently been sold & the proceeds invested. The Rev. L. Shields B.D. who became head master in 1807, succeeded in considerably augmenting the income of the school, & in 1818 commenced the rebuilding of the school & master's house, eventually completed in 1843 By the Rev. F. J. Gruggen M.A.: in 1875 the Endowed Schools Commissioners completely re-organized the management of the schools & transferred .the patronage from St. John's College to a, governing- body of 12 members.
