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 parish of St Peter originally took its name from the old bridge between Bramber and Beeding. It is considered that St Peter's is identical with St Botolph's parish since there is a reference c.1300 to 'Old Bridge namely St Botolph's' and architectural evidence shows that the present St Botolph church was in existence before the Norman Conquest. The grid reference is, therefore, for this church.
