Benefice of BRIDGNORTH (COLLEGIATE CHURCH)

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.

1 The grid reference given is to Underton place name on the OS map where a chapel had once, apparently, existed. A.Hamilton Thompson & W.G.Clark-Maxwell, 'The deans and canons of Bridgnorth', Archaeological Journal, 84 (1927), 1-87 p.6 2 The grid reference is for Morville Heath place name on the OS map. This prebend is not to be confused with Morville itself. A.Hamilton Thompson & W.G.Clark-Maxwell, 'The deans and canons of Bridgnorth', Archaeological Journal, 84 (1927), 1-87 p.6 3 The grid reference given is to the place name on the OS map, since the church here has disappeared. A.Hamilton Thompson & W.G.Clark-Maxwell, 'The deans and canons of Bridgnorth', Archaeological Journal, 84 (1927), 1-87 p.6 4 This is to be identifed as Bridgwalton, situated between prebends Morville and Underton. The grid reference is given for this place name on the OS map. A.Hamilton Thompson & W.G.Clark-Maxwell, 'The deans and canons of Bridgnorth', Archaeological Journal, 84 (1927), 1-87 p.6 5 This royal free chapel was fully in royal patronage: the king appointed not simply to the deanship, as in 1290, but also to the other five prebends (see HamThomBridgn 50-62). A.Hamilton Thompson & W.G.Clark-Maxwell, 'The deans and canons of Bridgnorth', Archaeological Journal, 84 (1927), 1-87 p.50-62 6 Temporalities attached to the five prebends of Bridgnorth are listed and valued among the temporalities of the archdeaconry of Shropshire (T 162, with the simple entries from the Exchequer MSS and the detailed entries from BC 91; the detailed entries here are from LA 302v-303). The five individuals named in this list of temporalities were, in this order, the prebendaries of Underton, Morville, Eardington, Alveley and Walton. The temporalities clearly represented, at least in most cases, only a fraction of the values of these prebends. Underton, Morville and Walton were minor prebends. For the churches and chapels attached to the prebends see HamThomBridgn 6-7. The church or chapel of Quatford, attached to the dean's prebendal portion, was listed in the Hereford diocese, and the prebendaries of Eardington and Alveley held 'prebends' in that church (see HE.SH.ST.22).
