Before the expulsion of 1290, Jewish leaders at Lincoln and York, lent monies to nearby ports Barton-upon-Humber, and Bridlington Priory. Several of their credit agents, are recorded as named Jews of the ports of Grimsby, and Hedon, now just outside Hull; and at Beverley, in the Hull Valley. The same figures at Lincoln and York at times dealt or took payment in wool, as did Jacob de Hedon.
