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 Since the church was demolished in 1872, the grid reference is approximate for its former position.     
2 It seems clear that St Paul's London collated to the rectory here: LuntNorwich 332 (SPM WD9 52v), MunimentaRiley2i 233 (LCLOA 181) and NewcourtRep1 471; yet there are indications that in 1294 and 1302 the church was served by a vicar (HenNovRep 319).
