Footnotes

  • 1. The date of Faucon's prov. to this preb. must have been in Feb. 1346, not 1345 as stated in the papal register. He was prov. to the preb. vac. by the d. of Wodehouse, who must have been alive on 3 Jan. 1346 since his will was made on that date.
  • 2. It was said in Le Neve-Hardy that George Strangeways res. the preb. of Stotfold in 1500 and was coll. to Colwich, but it was not realised that Edward Strangeways also held a preb. in Lichfield at this time. The careers and personalities of these two men have been described (Emden, Reg. Ox. 111 1795-6).
