LIST 10 PREBENDARIES OF CHURCH WITHINGTON
PREBEND
The manor of Withington belonged to the church of Hereford from before 1066, and by 1086 4 hides of the manor were held by 3 clks. (DB I 181d). The 3 Withington prebs. (Church Withington, Ewithington and Withington Parva) presumably represent these holdings. In c. 1291 the preb., endowed with land, rents and labour service at Church Withington, was assessed at £7 1s 4d in pope Nicholas's taxation (Taxatio p. 169b: Churiswythynton) and in 1294 at 15m in a list entered into bp. Swinfield's register (Reg. Swinfield p. 305: Chirche Wythyntone). Valor III 10 assessed the preb. at £15.

Received gr. of the revenues of the preb. of Withington (? Church Withington, but could be Ewithington or Withington Parva) from Henry III in the episcopal vacancy [11 July] 1240 (Close Rolls 1237-42 p. 206). Briefly archdcn. of Shropshire (list 7); then bp. of Hereford, el. 24 Aug. 1240 (list 1).

An attempt by Edward I to gr. the preb. of Rampton in Southwell minster to Bonetus 28 Feb. 1286 (CPR 1281-92 p. 225) appears to have been unsuccessful (W. G. Clark-Maxwell and A. H.
