But bishop Grandisson had to remonstrate with the Chapter 28 Aug. 1329 because they withheld great part of the money (Latin printed in ed. i. p. xliv), and again in 1354, and the fellows petition Brantingham to the same effect 18 Sep. 1372 b spades in the present gardens. The Chapter is to pay the Vicar 405' yearly, but the Vicar is to supply sufficient hay (literam ‘litter,’ et buscam) to the Chapter’s agents while on the spot.

And the Vicar is to pay all ordinary expenses of the church, keep up the chancel, books, ornaments, belonging to the rectory, and the glass in the windows of the Chancel at his own expense; extraordinary burdens however to be paid by the Chapter. A receipt is preserved, dated Exeter 7 Oct. 1382, given to the Chapter by William Slade rector of Stapeldon hall for £2^ 14.^ received through the hands of dominus Walter Compton seneschal of the exchequer of the Chapter in presence of M. Hugh Hickelyng precentor and dominus William Fereby canon of Exeter in payment for 1378-81. Extraordinary burdens probably refer to voluntary subsidies, and to the tenths exacted by Legates and Nuncios &c., as in the parallel arrangement made for the vicarage of Menheniot. The Vicarial glebe now is 34 acres, ? = the sanctuary of 33 acres (after deducting the half acre) and the one acre. For the Rectors and Vicars of Gwinear, see Lake ii. 146, N. and Gleanings iv. 181.
