The extract below shows that All Saints’ church was a rectory before it was appropriated (handed over) to a religious set-up (from when All Saints’ church was downgraded to a vicarage). Exactly the same situation happened at Gt Wilbraham.
The advowson (the right to recommend a clergyman for appointment as rector or vicar) of All Saints’ was attached to Tonys fee, belonging in 1263 to Roger (III) de Tony and in 1315 to Guy Beauchamp, earl of Warwick. (fn. 95) Guy’s son Thomas was licensed in 1346 to grant it to the dean and canons of Astley (Warws.) who were to appropriate it (make it one’s own). (fn. 96) The dean presented a rector in 1350 (fn. 97) and the appropriation was not made until 1380, (fn. 98) when a vicarage was established. In 1381 the advowson of the vicarage and an annual pension of 6s. 8d. were reserved to the bishop of Ely. (fn. 99) A fresh appropriation to the dean and chapter of Astley in 1390 divided the tithes between them and the vicar and made other arrangements. (fn. 1)
