Early life
Little is known about Elmeley's early life. Arlene Hogan speculated that he may have been from Colpe, where a John Elmeley held a cottage in 1408 and where people from Elmley in Worcestershire had settled. Hogan stated that if he were local he would have been sent to England for his education, as Llanthony Priory did not have the facilities to educate him in Ireland.[3]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [27]
Llanthony Priory
Elmeley was ordained an acolyte with two other canons of Llanthony Prima at Lydney Church in Gloucestershire on 23 September 1363.[4]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [86]
He was next recorded in Ireland in 1378, as proctor in a case regarding the restoration of the church of Ardcath in the diocese of Meath. Elmeley was subsequently recorded several times as Llanthony's attorney and representative in Ireland, conducting litigation on the priory's behalf. He was last recorded acting in this capacity in 1401.[3]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [26] [5]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [32] [6]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist.
He was recorded as prior of Colpe, an Irish cell of Llanthony Prima, in 1408.[1]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [117] In the same year he and William Temset composed a cartulary of Llanthony Prima's possessions in Ireland.[3]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [25]
In 1410, Elmeley was empowered to appoint an attorney for Llanthony rather than act as the priory's attorney himself. In 1415 he presented John Whyte, the rector of Drakestoun, to St Peter's at Drogheda where John took up the post of vicar, having exchanged roles with Nicholas Temset.[1]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [161] [3]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist., [27]
