Templarius whom some will have Treasurer but this man is more spoken of amongst the Chancellors William Haverhull a Cannon of Pauls Church in London was made Treasurer to King Henry the third in An. Dom. 1240. being the 24. yeare of the raigne of the said King Henry in which place he continued in the 28. yeare of the raigne of King Henry the third being in An. Do. 1244 he dyed at London in An. 1252. being the 36. yeare of the raigne of King Henry the third as saith the addition to Matthew Paris fol. 1128. After which the said Author fol. 1226. laied his death in the yeare 1256. being the 39. yeare of King Henry the third such error is crept into Histories by the negligence of the transcriber but I suppose the first note of his death to bee the truer because the same is confirmed by Matthew West speaking in the said yeare 1252. of the death of this man for whose Epitaph these following verses were made Hic jacet Haverhulle jaces protothesaurarie Regis Hinc Haverhulle gemis non Paritura talem Fercula culta dabas empyrea vina pluebas A modo sit Christus cibus esca tibi I have also read a note of one William Haverhull which might be this man which saith that William Haverhull the sonne of Brithmarus de Haverhull gave houses in Cheapeside to the Abby of Westminster and that one Thomas de Haverhull was the sonne and heire of William Haverhull Richard de Barking Abbat of Westminster as witnesseth the lives of the Abbats was one speciall Counceller to Henry the third Chiefe Baron of the Exchequer and Treasurer of England who I suppose did follow William Haverhull for his death which happened on the 23. day of November in the 30. yeare of King Henry the third in An. Dom. 1246. after that he had beene Abbat 24. yeares must needes prove him to be Treasurer before Phillip Lovell yea and peradventure which is most likely before Hugh Pateshall yet Matthew Paris speaking of the death of Haverhulla wil needs have Phillip Lovel to succeed William Haverhul as after shall appeare This Richard de Barking was buried in Westminster Church before the middle of the Altar in our Ladies Chappell in a tombe of Marble which after in the time of William Colechester Abbat of that place was pulled downe by Fryer Combe a sacrist of that house of Westminster who laid a faire plaine Marble stone over him with this present Epitaph thus inscribed Richardus Barking prior postinclitus Abbas Henrici Regis prudens fuit ille minister Hujus erat prima laus insula rebus opima Altera laus eque Thorp census Ocham decimaeque Tertia Mortone castrum simili ratione Et regis quarta de multis commoda charta Clementis festo mundo migravit ab isto M.
