274 THE ANTIQUITIES 



year 1758 again with the great tithes of Oakhanger, called 

 Bene's parsonage : so that, together, it is become a respect- 

 able piece of preferment, to which one of the fellows is 

 always presented. The vicar holds the great tithes, by 

 lease, under the college. The great disadvantage of this 

 living is, that it has not one foot of glebe near home.^

I am unable to give a complete list of the vicars of 

 this parish till towards the end of the reign of queen 

 Elizabeth ; from which period the registers furnish a 

 regular series. 



In Domesday we find thus — " De isto manerio dono 

 dedit Rex Radfredo presbytero dimidiam hidam cum 

 ecclesia." So that before Domesday, which was compiled 

 between the years 108 1 and 1086, here was an officiating 

 minister at this place. 



After this, among my documents, I find occasional 

 mention of a vicar here and there : the first is 

 Roger, instituted in 1254. 

 In 14 10 John Lynne was vicar of Selborne. 

 In 141 1 Hugo Tybbe was vicar. 



The presentations to the vicarage of Selborne generally 

 ran in the name of the prior and the convent ; but Tybbe 

 was presented by prior John Wynechestre only. 



June 29, 1528, William Fisher, vicar of Selborne, re- 

 signed to Miles Peyrson. 



1594, William White appears to have been vicar to this 

 time. Of this person there is nothing remarkable, but 

 that he hath made a regular entry twice in the register of 

 Selborne of the funeral of Thomas Cowper, bishop of 

 Winchester, as if he had been buried at Selborne ; yet this 



1 At Bene's, or Bin's, parsonage there is a house and stout barn, and 

 seven acres of glebe. Bene's parsonage is three miles from the church.
