When the priory was suppressed in August 1536 there were 12 canons . Two of them , the sub-prior and the kitchener , attempted to re-establish the monastery following the great rising against the government of Henry VIII of England , known as the “ Pilgrimage of Grace ” . For this they were arrested and executed as traitors at York in February 1537
