UNION OF THE BENEFICES OF BUDOCK & GLUVIAS. 483 



The Chixrch. of Budock appears, Tinaccountably, as a 

 separate 'medietas' (moiety), or ' vicaria,' and not as a rectory, 

 before it was united with Gliivias by Bp. Bronescombe, and 

 its great tithes appropriated to Grlasney Grollege, — from the 

 following extract from the Patent Eolls. 



" S. Budock: John* &c. Know ye that we .... with the 

 assent of John de Plesseto, parson of the Medietas of the Church 

 of St. Budock of Triliver, have granted ... to John fWake, 

 clerk, the perpetual vicarage of the same medietas (moiety) . . . 

 which refers (belongs) to our presentation by reason of the 

 Bishopric of Exeter being vacant. ;[: 28 May, 1208." (Appendix 

 IV. of Preb. Eandolph's Episcopal Eegisters, p 495, 1889). 



This separation of the tithes is mentioned in the Appropria- 

 tion-deed of the Churches of S. Budock and S. Feock (1267). 



" Assigning thereto for its support all the fruits and revenues 

 of the said Church of S. Budock — divided into portions from of 

 old (divisse in porciones ab antiquo), and of the church (sc. of 

 Penren) so united and annexed." 



There is an inconsistency in the intentions of the founder. 

 In the foundation-deed, the above quoted Ordinatio Canonicorum 

 de Griasneye (1267), he ordered three resident vicars in the three 

 parishes of Budock, Griuvias, and Feock. " That in each of the 

 three churches one be nominated Perpetual Vicar, to be canon- 

 ically instituted by us or our successors ; who shall have the cure 

 of the people, and each one in his vicarage shall make continual 

 residence in person." 



* John, King of England, 1199-1216. 



t J. Wake was an insolvent pluralist, who owed j640 to the King, and, as he 

 failed to pay, the King fell back on the Bishop, who sequestrated his livings. These 

 were Helston and S. Budock, where he was vicar, S. Mewan, Warleggan, and S. 

 Cleer, all in Cornwall, and Arlington and Bigbury in Devonshirp. (Preb. 

 Eandolph, from the Queen's Remembrancers of the Exchequer Series.) 



This eminent archjeolosrist has lately supplied in his two volumes of Episcopal 

 Registers ample materials to all students of the early History of the Diocese of 

 Exeter. It is hoped he will compete the issue of these Eegisters, with the same 

 insight and method. 



X Vacant from 1206 to 1214, a most confused period of English Ecclesiastical 

 History.
