Pope Alexander IV writes to the prior and convent of Lesmahagow, in answer to their petition setting forth that the late William, bishop of Glasgow, had assigned to their use the church of Kilmaurs in Cunningham (AYR) in his diocese, of which church the abbot and convent of Kelso, of which the priory was a member, had the right of patronage, while the institution of the rector belonged to the bishop, so that the fruits of the church were wholly converted to the use of the brethren in the priory, who were to serve the church by their own chaplain and were to bear the episcopal dues and other burdens thereof; the pope thus confirms the arrangement thus made.
