century(East window).  \n# THE LORD MAYOR'S CHAPEL\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nOn the north side of College Green facing the Cathedralstands the Chapel of St.Mark.This is the cnly building whichremains of the mediaeval Hcspital cf the Gaunts founded shortlybefore his death in 1230 by Maurice de Gaunt,grandson ofRobert Fitzharding,ancestor of the Lords of Berkeley andfounder of the Abbey of St.Augustine in 1140.His son,Rcbert,married Avicia de Gaunt,a wealthy Lincolnshire heiress,whosename was taken by their sons,Maurice and his brother Henry.Maurice entrusted the administration of his new almonry to theAbbey cf St.Augustine.On conditicn cf a yearly gift of 60 loadsof corn,beans and peas,and a rental of &10,the abbot andccnvent undertcok to feed 100 pcor people in the almcnry eachday and to maintain a chaplain.Maurice later gave the almonryhis manor of Pawlett and cther properties in Somerset andBristol.Smyth,the histcrian cf the Berkeleys writing in 1603,says:\"This Maurice de Gaunt founded the fair hospital of StMark in Billeswyke by Bristol(now called St.Augustine's Green)and near to his grandfather's mcnastery,endcwing it with amplepossessions,whose honorable memorials are there preserved.\"  \nAfter Maurice died,his nephew and heir Robert deGournay made the Hcspital a separate foundation,independentof the Abbey of St.Augustine.He also formed it into a fullreligious community,subject to visitation by the Bishop ofWorcester,by providing that the endowment should support amaster,four chaplains and eight clerks.The first master of theHospital was his uncle,Henry de Gaunt,who added greatly tothe properties by gift and purchase,and crdained that 12 of thepoor to be maintained by the Hospital should be scholars,whowere to serve in the choir in black copes and surplices.  \nThus these three members of the Berkeley family areregarded as joint founders.The Arms of the Hospital,whichwere worn as a badge by the master and brethren,are three whitebirds on a red shield,gules three gants argent.It is believed thatthe birds represent great crested grebes which in Lincolnshire areknown as“gants”--a play on the name of the founders.  \nThe Hospital was far from rich,and found its duty offeeding the poor a serious drain on its revenue.The brethren wereconstantly accused of failing in their charity,and this was thecause of protracted litigation throughout its history.Repeatedquarrels with St.Augustine's Abbey and the Vicar of St.Augustine's the Less,especially about their respective rights overCollege Green,also helped to impoverish the Hospital.  \nAt the Dissolution,the Hospital was surrendered by JohnColeman,the master,to the commissioners appointed by theking,the formal deed of surrender being made in 1539.Theproperty was granted to the Corporation of Bristol in 1541 for  \n£1,000.At once they adopted the buildings for their own use,and Bristol is the only city in the kingdom which has a chapel asthe exclusive property of the commonalty.  \nThe boundary of the Hospital extended half way up ParkStreet,along the side of the hill to the Carmelite Friary wherethe Colston Hall now stands and back by the side of the RiverFrome to College Green.Although the buildings themselves havebeen destroyed they are commemorated in the street names—Orchard Street,the site of the orchard;Culver Street where thedove cote stood;Frogmore Street where lay the fishponds;andPipe Lane along which water was brought to the neighbourhood.  \nThe old religious way of life which came to an end at theDissolution was replaced by an educational one which has beenof great importance for many generations.The first sch","cbCaion6I8fsNfQg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaion6I8fsNfQg","pdf",2842834,32,"English","# THE LORD MAYOR'S CHAPEL\n## INTRODUCTION\n## The
