404 S, MYLOR AOTD MABE CHURCHES. 



Milor was appropriated to Glasney College, evidently as a 

 compensation. The deed of ajopropriatiou contains the same 

 recitals as in the deed that had granted Probus, and the profits 

 were similarly annexed to the ofiice of Provost. 



Thenceforward we have, of course, to deal with vicars only. 

 By ordinance dated the 9th of May, 1353, Bishop Grandisson, 

 with the consent of the Provost of Glasney, Sir Pichard de 

 Gomersale, assigned to the Yicar for the time being a messuage 

 adjoining the cemetery of the church, with a garden, a croft and 

 a plot of land measuring together at least ten acres. He was, 

 moreover, to receive the entire altilage and the small tithes, both 

 real and personal, as well of the said parish church as of the 

 dependent chapel of St. Laud, together with the tithe of hay 

 and of the fishery, and the mortuaries of the whole parish, as 

 well as every kind of obvention pertaining to the altilage of the 

 said church. The Vicar was also to receive without let the tithe 

 of the garb of Kerygou {liodie, the Creggoes). The whole of 

 which the Bishop estimated as worth by the year £10 sterling. 

 The great tithes, except so far as assigned to the Vicar, were to 

 remain the property of the Provost. The Provost was to bear 

 all burdens, ordinary and extraordinary, except the duties of the 

 deanery of the Bishop's Peculiar Jurisdiction of Penryn, which 

 duties were to be performed by the Vicar whenever it should be 

 the duty of the Church of St. Melor to discharge them. The 

 Vicar was at his own costs to cause the celebration of the Divine 

 Offices as well in the said church of St. Melor as in the chapel of 

 St. Laud. The Bishop made the usual reservation of a right to 

 alter this ordinance as and when occasion should require. At 

 the date of the Tithe Commutation "the corn and grain tithes 

 arising from lands called part of the Grey goes'''' still belonged to 

 the Vicar, and were so treated in assessing the amount payable 

 to him. V^e do not find that any of the Vicars have been 

 especially remarkable. Perhaps, however, the following extract 

 from the will of one of them is worth quoting as a specimen of 

 those documents at a time when it was very usual, especially 

 amongst men of a puritanical turn of mind, to insert words at 

 the commencement recognising that the disposition by a man of 

 his property after death was a solemn and serious act. Thomas 

 Peters was apparently a member of a Fowey family of that name,
