CORNISH LANDOWNERS, 1256. 303 



In the 22nd Henry III (1294) Fulco, Abbot of Valle, suffered 

 a fine for himself and his church of Yalle, to Renry U Daneys, in 

 the advowson of the church of Lysnewyth, reserving to himself 

 and his successors, and the church of Valle, the ancient pension 

 by custom payable out of the same, and from that time the 

 rectory has been appurtenant to the manor of Lesnewith. Henry 

 le Deneys was rector in 1297, and was one of those clergy who, in 

 that year, in obedience to the Pope, Boniface VIII, refused to 

 pay the subsidy levied by the king. Benedict Eeynward, a 

 large dealer in tin about this time, became surety for the pay- 

 ment of the fine which the rector was compelled to pay for 

 obeying the Pope's bull. This important manor continued 

 vested in the family of Denys until the death of Anthony Denys 

 of Orleigh in 1641, leaving by Gertrude, his wife, daughter of 

 Sir Bernard Grrenville, three daughters.
