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 prebends were apparently in the hands of the de Courtenay family (though Oliver de Dynham, knight, presented to a prebend in 1286 (RegBron 340): see RegBron 123-4, RegStap 201, RegGrand 1264, 1284, 1287, 1371-2. The dean was head of the college, but it is difficult to distinguish at this date between the prebends.
