Further income was raised through a windmill below Jesmond (confirmed as the chapel’s property in 1408) and more land, in Whickham, left to the chapel in the will of Roger Thornton in 1429.
The building was founded in 1307 as a college for a dean and twelve secular priests by Sir Robert de Holland, who was secretary to Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of Lancaster.

However in 1319 the college was converted into a priory by Walter de Langton, Bishop of Lichfield, because of charges of misbehaviour by the priests.
