In the diocese of York, Thomas founded the Hospital of
Hexham Priory, a house of the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, with lands and books.[2] He himself helped found the priory at Hexham when he expelled the hereditary priest from the church and settled there a group of canons from Huntingdon Priory.[11]
