This section states whether or not the benefice was appropriated at or near 1291-2, the date of the taxatio. The line may include the type of position instituted, collated or presented and the date, but this information is shown only if available from contemporary or near-contemporary sources.

     Notes:
1 Two thirds of the church were appropriated to Alvingham priory (see LuntNorwich 474; and also described as 'due partes' in the priory's copy of the 1291 assessment of its churches: Bodl Laud Misc. 642 fo. 37r). The priory was presumably considered to be patron of this major part of the church. No vicarage had been ordained; a rector had been presented in 1224-25 by the priory of Alvingham, with the master of the order of Sempringham, (RotWelles3 141) but there is a dearth of extant presentations thereafter, and the two thirds came to be accepted as appropriated. A rector was certainly regularly presented by the secular patron of the remaining third of the church; the Philip of the taxatio text was rector Philip of Tetford presented in 1281 (RegSutton1 18), and the William of LALIA1 2 was either William of Acre presented in 1296 or William of Bilsby presented in 1299 (RegSutton1 208, 246).     
2 This 'dominus Philippus' was the rector Philip of Thetford, instituted to one third of the church: RegSutton1 18, 208.
