332 MORPETH DEANERY.—
1, g. The Impropriator of Slannington has tithe
of corn, hay, wool, and lamb, in Bellasis and Bog-hall;
of corn, wool, and lamb, and a modus of £3 6s. 8d. for
hay, payable on St Andrew’s day, in Stannington, Stan-
nington Bridge, and Catraw ; of corn, wool, and lamb,
in Plessey and Shotton ; and of tithe of wool and lamb
only, in Blagdon, East and West Dudden, and Whinny -
hill. The farms which comprized the township of Clif-
ton and Coldwell, form that part of the impropriation
which was purchased by the proprietor of the ground in
the time of James the First; and the rest of the tithes
of the parish belong to the vicarage. The two fee-farm
rents reserved by the crown in the grants of the tithes
of Clifton, as well as a fee-farm rent of 10s. a year out
of the lands of Clifton and Coldwell, are now paid to
Francis Pym, esq.; and the rent of £7 Us- 8d. due for
the rest of the rectory, belongs to the representatives of
N oel, esq. The average rental of the tithes, for
8 years, from 1763 to 1771, was £294 11s. 2d. The
real rental in 1759, £305 17s. Gd.; in 1760, <£281 6s.
2d.; in 1761, £276 16s. 8d.; in 1762, £269 Os. 8d.; in
1772, £297 4s. 2d.; in 1773, £301 19s. 8d.; and, in
1774, £304 2s. 2d.
1, h. Tithes.—The books of Acts and Depositions
in the Registry of the Consistory Court of Durham,
contain minutes of proceedings in that court in 1562
and 1580, respecting tithes in this parish ; but whether
they relate to those that belong to the vicar, or lay
rector, I have not examined.
1, i. Terriers.—There are three Terriers of the
possessions of this vicarage, all differing from each
other : one of them was made in 1663, and two of them
in 1792.
