tTNION OF THE BENEFICES OF BUDOCK & GLUVIAS. 481 



That the same incumhent held the two cures of Budock and 

 G-luvias is proved conclusively by the following instrument. 



" The new taxation of the Vicarage of S. Budock and of 

 Behed(th)lan made by Walter (Stapledon), Bishop (of Exeter). 



To all &c. Walter, Bp. of Exeter Greeting &c. Dispute 

 having arisen upon the portions of the Yicarage between the 

 Provost and Chapter of Glasney and Robert, then Perpetual 

 Vicar of the Churches of S. Budock and Behedlan, — Walter, 

 Bishop of Exeter, after treating with the Provost and Chapter 

 and the said Vicar, ordains that the said Vicar shall have and 

 receive the mansion (manse) in which he dwells, all *altarage 

 of the said Churches, under which term, among other things, 

 are comprehended tithe of fhay in meadows, flax, hemp, and 

 fish, also tithe of things being, or to be, in curtilage, &c., tithes 

 of Igarbs, together with tithes of beans, peas, vetches in fields, 

 also wool and lambs remaining to the Provost and Chapter, who 

 are to pay 40 shillings for the repair of books and other defects; 

 but, thereafter, the said Robert and his successors to keep up 

 books and ornaments, the covering (roof ?) and glass of the 

 windows in the chancel." 



Dated at Griasney, 23 August, 1315. 



Mention is made of glebe lands, or rather of a § Sanctuary, 

 attached to Gluvias Church in Bishop Bronescombe's Register, 

 recently (1889) published by Prebendary Hingeston-Randolph. 



* Altarage (altaragium) originally denoted the offerings made upon the altar, 

 and afterwards the profit that arises to the Priest by reason of the altar, obventio 

 altaris. — Jacob's Law Dictionary. 



f Tithe of hay in after times ranked as predial great tithes. 



X Foremost among the great tithes was the garb, or sheaf of corn— Fr. Gerbe. 

 Thus Hals wi-ites (Gluvias) — " The rectory, or sbeaf, in possession of Enys." 



§ This word commonly occurs in the Glasney Cartulary, from which most 

 of the preceding extracts have been made. The general Sanctuary, which 

 belonged to every church (and its precincts), afforded a refuge to those only who 

 had been guilty of capital felonies. The farmers (of the church tithes) were 

 prohibited in this Cartulary from "letting the land of Sanctuaries to laymen, lest 

 they be subject to distress and lay-power." This privilege of Sanctuaries was 

 abolished in the reign of James I. The name has been retained in the parishes 

 of Mawnan, Probus, and Altarnun ; in others it lingers in the corrupt form of 

 " century meadow."
