Barrow Camera was a Knights Hospitaller foundation in the parish of Barrow upon Trent, Derbyshire, England.〔'The Church of St Andrew Twyford' An eight page brochure published by the church. Available May 2007〕 A Camera is: ''"A residence used during short visits by an official and attendants of the Knights Hospitallers for administrative purposes on their estates."'' Barrow Camera was situated in the hamlet of Arleston in the parish of Barrow upon Trent in Derbyshire, however, several historians have mistaken it for the village of Barrow in Cheshire.〔 The Camera's position in Derbyshire is confirmed by connections with other religious institutions in Derbyshire, and by records showing their annual rent was paid to the Bishop of Carlisle, who was Lord of the Manor of Barrow upon Trent. ==History== During the reign of King Henry II (1154-1189), Robert de Bakepuze donated the church and some land at Barrow upon Trent to the Knights Hospitaller of Yeaveley Preceptory, also in Derbyshire. This donation was confirmed by Robert's son, John, who also donated further lands. In return, Mass was sung for Robert's soul in the Preceptory chapel every Sunday.〔 By 1338 the camera is recorded as having a bailiff and an income of £30; Page, however, believed that it was ''"doubtful if regular brethren of the order were ever resident here"''.〔 At some point prior to 1433, the camera was formally annexed to Yeaveley Preceptory.〔 It appears to have become a key part of the Preceptory: between the years of 1503 and 1526 the Preceptory is repeatedly referred to as ''"The Joint Preceptory of Yeaveley and Barrow"''.〔 The Preceptory and Camera were suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries; its property and lands were confiscated in 1543 and granted by Henry VIII to Charles Blount, 5th Baron Mountjoy.〔 After the Dissolution, the Commander of Yeaveley and Barrow as elected "Lieutenant-Turcopolier of Malta."〔http://www.barrowupontrentparish.co.uk/blog/?page_id=14〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barrow Camera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
