Lists of the benefices and incumbents of the diocese and archdeaconry of York, 1530s?
Scope and Contents
(1) Liber Eboracensis: after the heading ‘Archiepatus Eboracen’ follows a list of the different benefices with the tenths due from each; the amount for each page has been written at the bottom by another sixteenth-century hand; (2) ‘Nomina dignitatum prebendarum rectoriarum vicariarum cantariarum et capellanorum infra eccles. metropoliticam civitatem et archidiaconatum Eboracen.’; the names are in four columns, of the incumbents, the benefices, the ‘clarus valor’, and the ‘decima pars’; the lists appear to have been taken between 1534 and 1537 in obedience to the Act, 26 H. VIII. c. 3.
