    VICARAGE

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.

     Patronage:
monastic, Blackmore, Essex, priory, Augustinian Canons 1     

This section states whether or not the benefice was appropriated at or near 1291-2, the date of the taxatio. The line may include the type of position instituted, collated or presented and the date, but this information is shown only if available from contemporary or near-contemporary sources.

     If appropriated:
Yes (inst.) vicarage 1334

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 vicarage here was ordained in the mid-thirteenth century, later, it seems, than the 1254 taxatio (SPM WD9 88 and LuntNorwich 361), and the vicar was presented by the priory of Blackmore but at the nomination of the bishop; but the vicarage was dissolved in 1399 when the church became a rectory. See NewcourtRep2 669-70.     
2 This vicarage has been added to this church rather than the church of Willingale Doe (LO.MI.DM.17) since this church was appropriated and Willingale Doe had a secular patron. Both churches stood in the same churchyard: CollinsChurches 166.
