Description

Documents relating to the prebend of Horton in Gloucestershire. Lack states, 'The church was given to the cathedral by Agnes, wife of Ralph de Bellofago, the gift being confirmed by King Henry II in 1158. The prebend was probably in existence by c.1150 and it was joined to the bishopric on 11 April 1Acc Reg 219, in place of the prebend of Major Pars Altaris, on account of the uncertain income of the latter. In 1255 the bishopric assumed the prebend of Pottern and relinquished that of Horton.'
