assessed value is derived from a number of holdings which are listed elsewhere in the taxatio text.

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.

the benkey search option, top-right on the screen.
Notes:
1 While it was the bishop of Chichester who presented to the vicarage here (RegPecham1 96), it seems clear that this church belonged to, and can be regarded as appropriated to, the common fund of the dean and chapter of Chichester: LeNeveRev1Chich xx n.
