The town of Old Malton contained twelve carucates of land, which made a knight's fee, held by the Lords Vesey of the fee of Mowbray, who held the same of the King in capite.

And of these Dame Agnes de Vesey held nine and a half carucates, geldable, as well in demesne as service.

And the Canons of Malton held one carucate and a half in frank almoigne.

And another carucate was held of the liberty of St. Peter, which became parcel of the Prebend of Knaresburgh, and contained seven oxgangs of land.

15th November, A.D. 1625, the concord made between William, Lord Eure, Lord of the manor of Old Mahon, and the tenants, inhabitants, and freeholders thereof, for an equal and proportionable division of the lands and demesnes of the said manor by inclosures, was confirmed by Tobias, Archbishop of York, patron and proprietary of the Rectory and parsonage of Old Malton.

This Church, with all its lands and Chapels appertaining, was given by Eustace Fitz John to the Canons of the Priory of Malton, to which it was appropriated *2.

The patronage was granted by King Henry VIII., at the Dissolution, to the Archbishop of York, but in 1728, it was exchanged by Act of Parliament, for the Rectory of Molesworth, in Huntingdonshire, with Lord Malton, afterwards Marquis of Rockingham.

Present patron, Earl Fitzwilliam.
