Chapter XIV: Appendix: E

PATRONAGE OF THE CHAPTER

The chapter were patrons of the daughter parishes of Bleasby-cum-Morton, Edingley, Farnsfield, Halam, Kirklington and Upton, and of Boughton, Kneesal, Rolleston, S. Wheatley and Woodborough in Notts; of Barnburgh in Yorkshire; and of Barnoldby, Beelsby, Brigsley, Hatcliffe, Howerby, Ravensdale, and Waltham in North Lincolnshire.

All the prebendaries but those of Normanton, Woodborough, Palishall, and the sacrist presented to their several vicarages, excepting that the two prebendaries presented alternately to both Oxton and Cropwell. The prebendary of Normanton presented to the Southwell parish vicarage, and North Muskham to Caunton. At the dissolution, after allowing for vested interests, the whole of this patronage was divided between the two new bishoprics of Ripon and Manchester, but until Mr Shepherd’s death, in 1873, the surviving prebendaries reserved their patronage. Barnburgh was at one time worth £550 a year nett, and Beelsby a hundred less; but most of the others were of small value. There were also some half-dozen chapelries.
