| Note: |
The identity of 'Cotys in Waldyng' is unknown, but the lands of the priory lay close to the house, on the north bank of the Humber. It may have been a farm or grange in Sculcoates or Southcoates, but the 'cote' name was extremely common. 'Waldyng' may be a rendition of 'wald inges', meaning 'wooded meadow' or similar.
