(BW.BA.WC.11) variants

This figure is the total assessed value of the benefice. Note that for a cathedral church a zero figure is given because its assessed value is derived from a number of holdings which are listed elsewhere in the taxatio text.

     Assessment for tax:		 £ 26. 13s. 4d.

    VICARAGE

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.

     Patronage:
monastic, Le Bec-Hellouin, dep. Eure, France, abbey, Benedictine Monks 1     

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.

     If appropriated:
Yes

The Notes provide supplementary information relating to the benefice or to other data given in the display. Click on the source button at the end of the line to see the full reference(s) for the information. If the note contains a reference abbreviation that is not expanded in the source button, then it should be possible to use the abbreviation to find the full reference in the References Menu (forthcoming). If the note mentions a benefice by benkey rather than by name, the name can be found via the benkey search option, top-right on the screen.

     Notes:
1 The abbots of Bec held the prebend of Cleeve. The church of Old Cleeve was, however, leased by the abbey of Bec to the abbot and convent of Cleeve (LeNeveRev1BW 42), and the abbot and convent of Cleeve presented to the vicarage, as in 1315 (RegDrok 85). The vicarage was clearly too low in value to be listed as taxable. For the re-ordination of the vicarage in 1320 see CalWells1 386-7, as RegDrok 185-6. See also VCHSomers5 50.
