Yngworth had no authority to dispose of lands and property and could not negotiate pensions; so the

friars appear simply to have been released from their vows and dismissed with a gratuity of around
40 shillings each, which Yngworth took from whatever cash resources were in hand. He listed by
name the friars remaining in each house at surrender so that Cromwell could provide them with
capacities, legal permission to pursue a career as a secular priest. Furthermore, Yngworth had no
discretion to maintain use of the friary churches, even though many had continued to attract
congregations for preaching and worship; and these mostly were disposed of rapidly by the Court of
Augmentations. Of all the friary churches in England and Wales, only St. Andrew's Hall,
Norwich, Atherstone Priory (Warwickshire), the Chichester Guildhall, and Greyfriars Church,
Reading remain standing (although the London church of the Austin Friars continued in use by
the Dutch Church until destroyed in the London Blitz). Almost all other friaries have disappeared with
few visible traces.[21]
