        (Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 755)

        Ralph Nevill, 2nd Baron Raby, summoned to Parliament 1331-1336, surviving son and heir, who, like his ancestors, had many disputes with the Prior of Durham by the yearly rent of 4 pounds and a stag for his tenure, and the degree of entertainment which he claimed upon Holy Rood Day. He was at one time Stewart of the King's household and in many state employments. He died 41 of Edward III (1367) and was buried in Durham Cathedral. He married Alice, daughter of Hugh de Audley. He was the first layman buried in Durham Church on the south side thereof. He obtained this favour from the Prior and convent for a vestment of red velvet, richly embroidered with gold silk, great pearls and images of the saints standing in tabernacles, by him given to St. Cuthbert, his body being brought in a chariot drawn by seven horses to the boundary of the church yard, and thence conveyed upon the shoulders of knights into the middle of the church, where the Abbot of St. Mary's in York performed the office of the dead and celebrated the morrow mass at which were offered eight horses, four for war, with four men armed and four for peace, as also three cloths of gold, of blue color interwoven with flowers. Four of these horses were redeemed after the funeral by Sir John Nevill, his son, for 100 marks.
