by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and has a portion of income 
also arising from pew-rents. About sixteen years ago the old 
Vicarage House, having fallen into decay, was taken down and a new 
house erected, the expense being defrayed by money borrowed, on 
the security of the revenues of the living, from the Governors of 
Queen Anne’s Bounty. 
There are two Terriers in the Registry of the Bishop of Salisbury 
relating to the Vicarage, which, as they are very short, we print 
verbatim. They would seem to show that the land formerly be- 
longing tothe Vicar was of somewhat larger extent than at present. 
The former of these Terriers is as follows :— 
“BraprorD. A Terrier of the Lands of the Mother Church of Bradford made 
the 19 of Oct®. A°. 1608. 
“Tmp. One Mansion or Dwellinghouse with gardens, orchards and other 
grounde belonging to the same to the quantity of two acres, or thereabouts, in- 
vironed by the Churchyard on the easte, and a grounde called Barton Orchard 
on the weste. 
“‘Ttem. One littell Close in the Church [yard*] reaching from the Church 
geate to the very ground of the Garden, by estimation one halfe acre or more. 
(signed) “‘THomas Reap, Vicar. 
“JoHN BLANCHARD. 
‘PETER GODLEE. 
The latter Terrier, made about a century later than the former, 
runs thus :— 
‘A True and perfect Terrier of the Gleab Lands, Houses and other Edifices 
in the Borough of Bradford, in the Deanery of Potterne and Diocesse of Sarum, 
belonging to the Mother Church and Vicaridge thereof. 
“Dec. 20, 1704.
