St Thomas's Hill, Sancte Thomas hill 1558 TestLds 206. This hill was named after Thomas Earl of Lancaster who was beheaded here on 22 March 1322; a guild in Pontefract was also named after him (Gilda B. Thomae Loncastr '1401 Test i, Capelle sancti Thome 1541MinAcct 84), and a bequest to this guild in 1401 included the cost of constructing a stone cross instead of the wooden cross then standing versus Montem Beati Thomae juxta viam ducentem versus Bongate (Test i).
