The priory of Totynbek, Surrey [the chapel of Barkynchurch has it].
Pension of the prior of Lewys, and the manors of Preston and Hoo, Sussex. [Noted that John Fogge has them].
The manor of Charlton Magna, Wilts, the priory or manor of Bekford, Glouc, and lands and tenements lately pertaining to the abbey of Baylebeck, Glouc [noted that the College of Fowdryngay has them.]

The following manors or priories were later give by the founder by various patents:

The manors of Benstede and Wauton, with divers lands and tenements in Charlewode, Surrey 3 September 1448.
Pension of the abbey of St Alban's 24 November 1445
Pension of the abbey of Bury 9 September 1441.
The priory of Scherborne, Hants, 2 September 1446.

This document can probably be dated in the middle of 1460's. It is presumably earlier that the Patent of 17 July 1467 by which the College recovered two of the properties here mentioned as being lost to it, namely the priory of Brimpsfield and the watermill at Goring.

Joh Pilkington and John Fogge were two close adherents of Edward IV. The former became an esquire of the body on 17 July 1461 and was granted the hospice with 4 shops outside Aldergate on 13 August 1461. John Fogge was Treasurer of the Household. He does not seem actually to have held the pension of the Prior of Lewes or the manors of Preston and Hoo, for these were granted inter alia on 22 February 1462 in frankalmoign to Thomas Wylmote, vicar of Ashford, Kent, a grant that was renewed on 18 November 1467. But he was interesed in the same, for the purpose of the grant was that Wylmote should find two chaplains and two secular clerks to celebrate divine service in the church (of Ashford) for the good estate of the King, his kinsmen George, bishop of Exeter, John Fogge, Knight, and Alice, his wife, and Thomas Colt, while alive, and for their souls after death, and for others killed in battle of Northampton, St Alban's and Shirburn.
