Benefice of WINDSOR

(SA.00.SC.68) variants

This figure is the total assessed value of the benefice. Note that for a cathedral church a zero figure is given because its assessed value is derived from a number of holdings which are listed elsewhere in the taxatio text.

     Assessment for tax:		 £ 5. 0s. 0d.

This section gives the modern name of the benefice together with the church dedication and the Ordnance Survey grid reference of the church (click the grid reference to locate the church building on Google Maps). Constituent parts of the benefice, such as vicarage, or any dependent chapels, pensions, portions and prebends, with their values, are also listed here.

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:
ecclesiastical, Salisbury, cathedral, Wilts, collegiate church, non-monastic

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 1291 - 1292

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 This item can hardly be an assessment of the vicarage of Windsor, but must, rather, be income of Salisbury dean and chapter deriving from the vicarage of Windsor. It is perhaps the hundred shillings which in 1219 had been stated as at that time reserved to the abbot and convent of Waltham, apparently from the vicarage: EEA19 373 (unless the text is corrupt and should read as reserved to the dean and chapter). Windsor was appropriated to Waltham Abbey, which presented to the vicarage (see, for example, RegGand 586); items of Waltham Abbey's income are not, by and large, included in the taxatio, since the abbey paid in a lump sum (as stated, for example, in BL Harley Roll H31, m. 4), and the vicarage itself is perhaps not included in the taxatio as too low in value to be taxable.
