PREBENDARIES OF UFTON CANTORIS

Preb. valued 1535 at £2 13s 4d (Valor III 131).

Valor has Robert Sherwood at one Ufton and 'William -' at the other. The two prebs. of Ufton are very muddled in Le Neve-Hardy and Survey of Cath. The first occasion on which a preb. of Ufton is specified is in 1578 (see Ufton Decani, below), and this occ. provides the principal basis for deductions as to the identity of the early holders.

Footnotes

  • 1. Survey of Cath. gives Sherwood as instal. 2 March [sic] at Ufton Decani. For Ufton Cantoris, Survey of Cath., followed by Le Neve-Hardy, gives Thomas Beale or Bell as adm. 25 April 1561, and Le Neve-Hardy alone gives Nicholas Novall as coll. 4 July 1572. No evidence has been found for these.
  • 2. N.B. William Beale instit. 2 Feb. 1561 to the other Ufton. They are definitely two different men.
