PREBEND
Nonnington (now Nunnington) in Withington formed part of the manor of Withington and thus was part of the estates of the church of Hereford in the 11th cent., when the nuns of Hereford held two hides there from the bp. (DB I 181d; for discussion, see S. Foot, Veiled Women (2 vols., Aldershot, 2000) I 175-6, II 99). Prob. to be identified with the preb. of Imintinton in the taxation of pope Nicholas IV, where assessed at £12 14s (Taxatio p. 169a); in 1294 the preb. of Nonyntone was assessed at 12m in a list entered into bp.

Valor III 10 assesses this preb. at £12 gross, £11 13s 4d net; its endowments consisted of rents from free and customary tenants, demesne, perquisites and payment of small commons.
