     Notes:
1 This church was in the peculiar jurisdiction of St Paul's London and annexed to the office of treasurer, in the patronage of the bishop. Although it was apparently served by a chaplain in 1252, there was certainly, by 1297, a vicarage, assessed at that time 'secundum verum valorem' at two marks, and thus too low in value to be taxable. See NewcourtRep1 854-5, SPVisitations1 18-20, SPVisitations2 39-42, and LO.LO.SP.00F.
