Burials in the church

1. Although the Ros geneology states that Adelina’s husband, Peter Ros, was buried at Rievaulx, Burton notes that this is probably a mistake since Peter, it seems, died before 1130, namely, before Rievaulx had been founded, J. Burton, ‘The estates and economy of Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire’, Citeaux (1998), pp. 29-94, at p. 69, no. 174.
2. See J. Burton, ‘Kirkham Priory from Foundation to Dissolution’, University of York Borthwick Papers no. 86 (1995), p. 23; P. Fergusson and S. Harrison, Rievaulx Abbey (New Haven and London, 1999), pp. 250-251 n. 28.
3. Testamenta Eboracensia: A Selection of Wills from the Registry of York, Surtees Society 79 (1884), no. xiv, pp. 20-21; The editor suggests that this may have been an ‘unnoted son of the house of Clervaux in Croft’.
