A Sketch of the Parish of Yaieshnry. 



Though the prebendal estate has now passed out of the hands of 

 the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury, it must not be forgotten that 

 there were Prebendaries of Yatesbury, who in the good old days 

 derived substantial benefit from this parish ; and there is still a stall 

 of Yatesbury though it is an unremunerative one, in the Cathedral 

 of Salisbury. 



By the kindness of Canon W. H. Jones, I am enabled to supply 

 a tolerably complete list of those who have held the prebend of 

 Yatesbury for the last six hundred and fifty years : — 



c. 1226. 



1318. 



Hugo de Wells. Osmund. Eeg. 



Nicholas Hengate (or Hugate). 



Roger de Northborough, On the cession of N. Hengate. 

 Bishop of Lichfield, 1322. 



• This is a literal translation of the phrase "per dimissionem," as it appears in the registers — 

 though " cession " and "dimission " seem to be almost couvertible terms.
