CANONS RESIDENTIARY OF SALISBURY
Residentiaries are listed below in order of their election or admission to
residence, or first occurrence. The prebend by virtue of which they were admitted is
given. The chancellorship was a qualification by virtue of the fact that the prebend of
Brixworth was annexed to it, and the treasurer was likewise eligible by reason of the
prebend of Calne. Other dignities held at Salisbury, though not qualifications for
admission, are added here as indication of the type of men who became residentiaries. Deans, who were, of course, also prebendaries of Heytesbury, were
automatically accorded the status and rights of residentiaries. The dean and eight
canons residentiary of 10 Jan. 1541 (CA 14 pt. ii f. 9/p. 17) are given in order of their
