1 While the patronage of a cathedral prebend was deemed normally to rest with the bishop (see ChartChich 3), in this case (for which see LeNeveRev1Chich 45-8) the abbots of Grestain (dep. Eure, France) were ex officio prebendaries of Wilmington. In effect, therefore, the prebend, with its annexed churches of Wilmington, Willingdon, Eastdean and Westham, was appropriated to the abbot. The bishop perhaps collated to the vicarages (as in the case of Westham: EEA23 168), the vicarages being listed at CI.LE.PE.33-35, 38. J.Le Neve, Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1066-1300: Chichester, ed. D.E.Greenway (rev. edn, London, 1996) p.45-48 2 For this prebend see LeNeveRev1Chich 45-8, and for the vicarages of the churches of Wilmington, Willingdon, Eastdean and Westham, annexed to the prebend, see CI.LE.PE.33, 34. 35 & 38. The prebend of Wilmington was held by the abbot of Grestain, dep. Eure, France, for whom the priors of Wilmington were proctors: see LeNeveRev1Chich 46-8 (which includes revised lists of the thirteenth-century abbots of Grestain and priors of Wilmington).
