NT74NE 3 77 48.

There was a chapel of St Nicholas in Fogo parish. Called the Chapel of the Lord William, son of the Earl, it was consecrated in 1242 (Fasti Eccles Scot, H Scott et al ed., 1917), and was granted to the monks of Kelso by Patrick Corbet, 1253 x 1297, the monks being held to provide either three monks or three secular chaplains in the chapel. A (Tironensian) monastic community was evidently established. A prior of Fogo occurs in 1465 and 1466. In 1537 Andrew Leslie, monk of Lindores, petitioned the Pope for provision to this priory which is 'conventual and is a dependency of the monastery of Calco (Kelso)' and of which the fruits do not exceed $7.
