Benefaction,

(4) Two Church Houses Situate next to the Principal South Gate of the Church Yard, namely on the Eastern Side thereof one of them in the Occupation of Mr. Joseph Dudley at the yearly Rent of four Pounds, the other in the Occupation of Mr. Samuel Yeates, of the yearly Rent of two Pounds, and both of them held under a
Building Lease of two Hundred years, the Churchwardens paying all manner of Taxes,

The numbers in brackets refer to the following notes.

Remarks.

1. This ought to be 93a-0r-32p according to the last measurement.
2. These portions of ground exist only in the Terrier. There is no Church property answering the description. I can account for so serious a mistake only by supposing that they have inserted in the        Terrier, not only the award made to the Vicar at the inclosure, but the land held by him previously for which that award was made.
To the books must be added a new Register of Baptisms, A new Bible and Prayer Book, and a Book for the Communion Service.
To the Utensils must be added A Stove.
4. The two Church Houses at present yield no income. They are now inhabited by Mr. Monk and Mr. J. King and a cottage made out of one of them, by Joseph Evans.
               
I hereby certify the foregoing to be a true copy of an Abstract of a Terrier taken in the year 1810, as deposited in the Registry of the Diocese of Oxford.
