Note 12c — NOTES ON PARISHES ROUND HORNCASTLE.

At a monastery at Norwich 1,500 quarters of malt were used annually for ale. Ingulphus, the abbot of Croyland, laments in his History, the damage caused by a fire at the Abbey, inasmuch as it “destroyed the cellar and casks full of ale therein” (quoted Oliver’s “Religious Houses,” p. 15, note 5).
