Benefice of TIVERTON

(EX.EX.TI.01) variants

This figure is the total assessed value of the benefice. Note that for a cathedral church a zero figure is given because its assessed value is derived from a number of holdings which are listed elsewhere in the taxatio text.

     Assessment for tax:
£ 25. 14s. 10.75d.

This section gives the modern name of the benefice together with the church dedication and the Ordnance Survey grid reference of the church (click the grid reference to locate the church building on Google Maps).

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.

     Patronage:
secular, Hugh de Courtenay 1

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 It is difficult to distinguish between the three portions, though one of them was 'curata', holding, that is, the cure of souls (RegGrand 1285), and one of them was known as the prebend of Tidcombe (RegBron 186); it seems that all them were in the patronage of the de Courtenay family (RegBron 186, RegStap 264-5, RegGrand 1285, 1330, 1338, 1361).     
2 For two pensions held in other churches by the first portion-holder here see BW.TA.DN.20 and EX.TO.OK.14.
