alms to the prebends and to what brothers they were originally constituted, so that, when this is ascertained,Imay know whether the present (canons) have lost what their predecessors had. The following record therefore of the benefits bestowed upon the church is made before us by the wise and seniors among you, as I had ordered, for the sake of concord : to wit R. Count of Eu,founder and builder of the Church of St. Marie of Hastyngs, gave and demised to Gwymundus,[1] the prebend of the Chapel of Wartlyng,[2] and that tithe of that place to wit, so much as there should be from all the demesne of the aforesaid lord in the manor thereto adjacent, and the land of Hada,[3] to wit two rods together and in (ad) the said manor, a wist of land with the right for one guest[4] to remain on the said land and the tithe of salt of the said manor of the lord's demesne and a certain art in the marsh, to make salt-pans, and the Chapel of Hoo,[5] and the chapel of Nenefelde,[6] and the tithes of Hoo,' wheresoever they lie, to wit whatever part of the manor he may have, the tithe thereof to the aforesaid prebend. He also granted to Hoo[7] two wists of land with marsh and meadow, and the tithe of Franchusta,[8] and the tithe of Donyngate,[9] and the tithe of Cochersia,[10] and the tithe of Codyng',[11] and a dwelling in the castle and another in the baily at the bridge.[12] To the prebend of William Allek[13] the church of Bekele[14] and the tithes and half a hide of land and one rod, and at Long Cistele[15] (Cistele longa) two rods and the chapel of Bolewarehethe,[16] and certain land close to that monastery,[17] and two thousand herrings every year, with certain other customary fishes,[18] and the Church of Stottyng,[19] with land and the tithe, and the tithe of Chiteham,[20] the third part of the tithe of Blakebroke,[21] and one dwelling in the baily, and another beneath. And for the other prebend[22] Roger purchased a garden at Boseham which Ralph de Balliol granted to him and his successors. To the prebend of Hugh de Floc,[23] Walter, son of Lambert, granted tithes of his lands and of his vavassors (favessoribus),[24] and right to a guest[25] at Haylesham.[26] And he constituted this prebend also in this way so that after the death of the Canon, the heir of Walter might constitute another Canon with the consent and election of the Bishop[27] no favour being shown for money. And for this prebend he set. aside for Geoffrey, brother of the aforesaid Hugh, the tithe of Casebury[28] and the church of Gastelyng,[29] and the tithe of Genesyng,[30] the tithe (sic)[31] and also a dwelling in the Castle. For the prebend of Hubert[32] de Marlreyght[33] the tithe of Agyngton,[34] and Count H(enry) increased this prebend by a meadow the other side of the mill under the Castle. To the prebend of Eustace, Rainbert[35] the sheriff (vic) gave Robert's concession[36] the church of Saleherst,[37] and -
