The first comma and lack of spacing seem out of place.
Suggestion: Friars Preachers' Church, York, Yorkshire, England
"About the end of 1226 Henry III instructed Martin de Pateshull and his fellows, justices in eyre, to consult the Mayor and good men of York about a site for the Friars Preachers in that city. They recommended the chapel of St. Mary Magdalen with a plot of land behind it, situated in Kings-tofts just within the city ditch, on the south bank of the Ouse. The sheriff was ordered, 10 April 1227, to go in person with the mayor and good men and make over the chapel and plot to the friars. (fn. 2) By 30 December the friars had already inclosed part of the land with a wall, and they were given free access to the river through the city dike. (fn. 3) The land extended from the dike and curtilage of William de Malesoures along the city ditch to the curtilage of Robert son of Baldwin. (fn. 4) In 1236 the king granted the place which William Malesoures held of him to the friars, (fn. 5) and in 1241 he ordered the bailiffs and citizens of York to let them have as much of the land near their house as they could without loss to the city, as the stench of the place was great and caused the friars much annoyance. (fn. 6)" — https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/vol3/pp283-296#h2-s1
