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 Not to be confused with the former chapel of St Bartholomew's Hospital, after the Dissolution also known as St Bartholomew the Less. The church of St Bartholomew the Less by the Exchange was demolished in 1841 to make way for the building of the third Royal Exchange.     
2 At the time of or shortly after the 1254 taxatio the patron had been stated as William de Lancastr': SPM WD9 49v (LuntNorwich 327); but the patron, as in 1303, is left blank in MunimentaRiley2i 237 (LCLOA 182v). For the presentation of rectors by patrons in 1331 and later see RegBaldock 296 and NewcourtRep1 291. For mention of the rector in 1303 see RegWinch 464.
