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 dedication in LewisEngland1 128 is to St Mary; and the church is mapped as Holy Trinity church on the OS (County Series: Gloucestershire) map.     
2 The chapel here was demolished in the seventeenth century (LewisEngland2 441). The grid reference given is for the placename since it is not clear whether the present church of St Philip and St James, originally a private chapel of 1885, is on the old site. PevsnerGloucs2, 394.
