boar the village took the name ‘Wild-Boar-Foss', hence Wilberfoss. A
Benedictine convent, St Mary's Priory, was founded at Wilberfoss 1153 by Helias
or Alan de Catton, and a charter of HENRY II mentions William, s of Illger(us)
de Wilberfoss, and Osbert, s of Robert de Wilberfoss, as benefactors, though
