365. Visitation of Dale. 22 August. 1491.

A canon of Coverham was at Dale for punishment;
another had been placed last and deprived of his vote and
stall. Canons are not to play games for money; not to keep
dogs ; not to eat in any house near the monastery. Bishop
Redman finds observance and discipline suffering from the  impotency of the abbot. Some of the treasures of the house have been pledged.
