 a Church presentation. As little, too, has our glebe varied. In the 

 Tasatio Ecclesiastica of Pope Nicholas (A.D. 1291) Appendix C, 

 the assessment only is mentioned. That was £5, and the tenth was 

 10*. But temp. Edward III., c. 1372, the jurors gave a more par- 

 ticular valuation. It runs thus : — 



9th of corn, wool, and lambs of the ecclesiastical 



parish, due to the King 53/3 



And ditto ditto Prior de Farlega ditto 13/ 



Rector's messuage and garden 26/- 



And 26 acres of land and pasture, valued at 26/8 

 Tenth of the milk, ferri, lini, canabis, casei lactis, 



&c., valued at 20/- 



Total £6 18 11 



In the Valor Ecclesiasticus of Henry VIII. (1533) : — 

 John Davys, rector, the gross valuation was £8 12 

 Less annual pension to the Prior of Farle 1/-
