Footnotes

  • 1. Booth is said by Le Neve-Hardy to have exch. preb. of Offley with Ralph Birom for preb. of Tervin in 1452. There is no account of this exch. in bp. Booth's reg. but it must have taken place c. August when Birom res. the preb. of Offley.
  • 2. The name of this prebendary is given as 'William Rushall' by Le Neve-Hardy and he is said to have held the preb. of Offley until 1559/60 when he 'quitted it for Wellington', but it is clearly stated in the Lichfield Chapter Acts that Edmund Steward was coll. to Offley 1531 when the preb. was vac. by the d. of John Rashall.
