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 All the twelve prebendaries in this collegiate church were collated by the bishop; the precentor, with his own prebend, was the head of the college, but it is difficult to distinguish at this date between the other eleven prebends, except by the value of each prebend and the name of each holder (see RegBron 128-31, 341-2, RegStap 205-6).
