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.

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.
If appropriated:
No (inst.) rectory 1312

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 An inquiry concerning this church in 1292 (WoodruffVisit 180) stated that it was in the gift of the king, but this can only have been because of the vacancy in the see of Canterbury, when the temporalities were in the king's hands. The king certainly presented in 1294: SedeVacIns 84. Although not listed among the benefices of the archbishop's patronage in LPL 1212 183v-184v, it seems without doubt to have been one of his churches: there are many examples of the archbishop collating (RegWinch 1227, 1229, RegChich1 218, 236, 265; and see HastedKent9 578).
