annual payment of 20s. at Michaelmas and Easter in equal portions. 

 The total receipts were assessed at £5, and had to pay tithe on 

 this basis ; a sum of 3s. 9d. was charged against the Vicar for rent. 

 Out of this he was to find a clerk for the Church at his own charge, 

 and was to bear all ordinary and archidiaconal burdens, except 

 the liability to repair the chancel. 



In the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 the value of the Eectory was 

 returned as worth (in common years) £6, out of which was to be 

 paid to the Vicar, as stated in the ordination of 1337, £1 per 

 annum. Eichard Burton, the Vicar, returns the Vicarage as worth 

 £9 Is. M., from which he paid for procurations and synodals VSs.9d., 

 and 3s. 9d. to the Abbess as rent.
