This section shows the patronage status of the benefice in 1291-2, the date of the taxatio, as much as can be found in contemporary or near-contemporary sources. The line includes the type of patronage: ecclesiastical, monastic or secular; the name of the patron; and for monastic patrons, the order of their religious house. If the patronage is ecclesiastical or monastic, then it may be an appropriated church. This is shown by the "If Appropriated" line below. | |||||
This section states whether or not the benefice was appropriated at or near 1291-2, the date of the taxatio. The line may include the type of position instituted, collated or presented and the date, but this information is shown only if available from contemporary or near-contemporary sources. | |||||

1 The grid reference is for Chapel Cottage at the site of the deserted medieval village named as Weston on the OS map. 2 The provostship, not strictly speaking a cathedral dignity, was an office in the patronage of the bishop of Bath and Wells: LeNeveRev1BW 113-14. For the vicarage of Wellington, to which in all probability the provost presented, see BW.TA.TA.20. The provost also presented to the vicarage of Combe St Nicholas (as in 1265: RegWGiff 8 and see RegDrok 86), and to the vicarage of Chard (as in 1311: RegDrok 46), and to the vicarage of Winsham (as in 1322: RegDrok 201); these three vicarages were clearly too low in value to be listed as taxable. J.Le Neve, Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1066-1300: Bath and Wells, ed. D.E.Greenway (rev. edn, London, 2001) p.113-14 3 For the churches attached to the provostship see LeNeveRev1BW 43-5, 114. Income from the churches was divided also between the fifteen Combe prebends (BW.BA.WC.32-3, 38-50). The vicarage of Wellington was assessed separately: see BW.TA.TA.20. The provost at the time of the taxatio, and his immediate successors, (LeNeveRev1 77, Le NeveRev2BW 77) were apparently also prebendaries of Wiveliscombe (separately valued: BW.BA.WC.16), but this prebend not considered to be annexed to the provostship.
