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.

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.

only if available from contemporary or near-contemporary sources.

Ecclesia Sancti Dionisii London, Lambeth Palace Library, 1212, fos 187-189 (Canterbury), fos 189v-190v (abp's exempt deaneries in other dioceses) (note that refs to other parts of this MS, as the list of churches in the abp's patronage, are to LPL1212) p.190v variants( var.) There is agreement about the value of this church (7 marks) in the full listings of the spiritualities of the deanery of the Arches: CCA1 355, BCA1 12 and BCA2 76v, as well as LBCA 190v. But the church was valued at only 1l.10s. in the assessment of items (in 1302/3) of between more than 2 marks and 6 marks: PLOA1c 1d (as T 20). The church was, thus, excluded following the first assessment in 1291/2 (as an exempt church, it seems clear, since it was valued at more than 6 marks), but included as a minute benefice at a very different value in 1302/3. Canterbury Dean and Chapter Muniments, Reg J, pp. 177-83 (Canterbury), pp. 353-5 (archbishop's exempt deaneries in other dioceses) p.355(listed as exempt; appropriated to military order, hospital or poor nunnery)

The value in BCA2 76v is 7 marks surely in error for 7s; but the value in CCA1 255 and BCA1 12 is 16s. Whether it was 7s or 16s is thus not clear.
