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 The church was lost in the 1666 fire. The name survives in Little Trinity Lane.     
2 The advowson certainly belonged to Southwark priory: LuntNorwich 329 (SPM WD9 50v) and MunimentaRiley2i 236 (LCLOA 182); and the church was perhaps served by a rector (for mention of whom in 1368 see RegSudbury1 259n), though no fourteenth-century presentations or institutions have come to light (but see NewcourtRep1 555-6).
