1325 he was one of the two magistri extranei
of Balliol College and had the degrees of Doctor of Medicine and
Bachelor of Theology.
He was not regularly in residence at Salisbury, for in 1320
he paid a fine to the chapter for absence and in 1328 he granted a lease
of his prebendal home in the Close.1
In the later years of his life he may more often have
resided at Reculver. In 1325 Archbishop Reynolds issued a commission to
him to exercise the jurisdiction of Reculver which was exempt from the
Archdeacon of Canterbury.2 He was the
physician of Prior Eastry of Canterbury who wrote him a grateful letter
in 1324.3 He died in 1341 or early in
1342. Thomas Nye, the rector of Aldington, kept him in grateful
remembrance when in 1354 he founded a chantry at Reculver for the souls
of Nicholas of Tingwick |

and Thomas of Astley, sometime the rectors under whom
he served when vicar of Reculver.4

of Antiquaries for their kind permission to reproduce two of the
illustrations of the stones of the Great Cross. It is fully described in
Archaeologia, Vol. 77, pp. 250-6, with illustrations of all the
remaining portions.
