Between 1142 and 1184 both churches were gr. to communa (RSO I 216, where given date '1148', but for no good reason; cf. Sar. Chs. pp. 39-40), but conf. as preb. 1181 x 85 (RSO I 384, which should be attributed to pope Lucius III, not II, cf. PUE II 47). Preb. in 1220s (C. 462, pd. Sar. Chs. p. 207, cf. RSO II 71; see also VCH Berks. III 282, 289-90), though patronage in hands of Sandford family (RSO I 327-8) and interest maintained by Hospitallers and Templars (cf. Sar. Chs. p. 100; see also Reg.

PREBENDARIES
Warin of Sandford (fn. 1)
First occ. as can. c. 1170 (Cart. Sandford I no. 15). Also occ. as can. 1175 x 92 (cart. Templars: BL, Cotton MS Nero E. vi (1) fo. 115r). (fn. 2) Ceased to hold this preb. before 1184 (RSO I 216, where given date '1148', but for no good reason). Possibly to be identified with Warner de Sanford who donated a cope by 1214 (RSO II 130, also pd. Ceremonies p. 172), but this may have been Warner de Saunford who occ. without title before 1219 (Cart. Sandford I no. 13).

Last occ., with William the Marshal, earl of Pembroke, after 1219 (BL, Add. Ch. 21165).
