Gilbert de Gaunt, whose son and See also:heir Walter founded the priory and endowed it with the See also:manor of Bridlington and other lands. From this date the importance of the town steadily increased. Henry I. and several succeeding See also:kings confirmed Walter de Gaunt's See also:gift, See also:Stephen granting in addition the right to have a See also:port. In 1546 Henry IV. granted the prior and See also:convent exemption from fifteenths, tenths and subsidies, in return for See also:prayer for himself and his See also:queen in every See also:mass sung at the high See also:altar. After the See also:Dissolution the manor remained with the See also:crown until 1624, when See also:Charles I. granted it to See also:Sir See also:John See also:Ramsey, whose See also:brother and heir, Sir See also:George Ramsey, sold it in 1633 to thirteen inhabitants of the town on behalf of all the tenants of the manor. The thirteen lords were assisted by twelve other inhabitants chosen by the freeholders, and when the number of lords was reduced to six, seven others were chosen from the assistants. A See also:chief See also:lord was chosen every See also:year. ' This See also:system still holds good. It is evident from the fact of thirteen inhabitants being allowed to hold the manor that the town had some See also:kind of See also:incorporation in the 17th See also:century, although its incorporation See also:charter was not granted until 1849, when it was created a municipal borough. In 1200 King John granted the prior of Bridlington a weekly market on Saturday and an See also:annual See also:fair on the See also:vigil, feast and morrow of the See also:Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Henry VI. in 1446 granted the prior three new fairs Yearly on the.vigil, See also:day and morrow of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, the Deposition of St John, See also:late prior of Bridlington, and the See also:Translation of the same St John. All fairs and' markets were sold with the manor to the inhabitants of the' town.
