     Notes:
1 This was a collegiate church in episcopal patronage, with the bishop perhaps appointing to all the portions or canonries. The king granted portions in 1328, 1384 and 1398 because the see was vacant (CalPat1327-1330 244, CalPat1381-1385 386, CalPat1396-1399 416), and the bishop collated to portions in 1412 and 1417 (RegBenedict 94, 107), and to a vicarage in 1411 (RegBenedict 92).
