| [Note.—Wingham was a tract of country part of thepossessions of the See of Canterbury from the earliest Saxon times.No doubt the churches and chapels here mentioned had beenbuilt by successive archbishops. Archbishop Kilwardby,1273 A.D., designed to found a College of secularpriests in the Church of Wingham, but, being interrupted bydeath, his successor Peckham carried out the design. He madethe Vicar also the Provost; made the chapelries(except Overland) distinct parishes, appointed Vicarages inthem, and gave the parishes as prebends to the 5 Canons,and appointed 2 priests, 2 deacons, 2 sub-deacons, and a sextonto the service of the church. At subsequent periods 2chantries were founded in Ash Church, one valued in the “Valor”at £14 13s. 4d., out of which a life pension of £5 was paidto the late cantarist, and the other at £7 6s. 8d.] | Deduct for parish priest he is bound to keep there | 9 | 0 | 0 | ||||||||

APPENDIX III.
The illustrations which we have been able to give of our subject from the pictures in Mediæval MSS. are only a handful selected out of a very great number. It may be useful to some students to have references to the MSS. in the British Museum, where other illustrations of special interest may be found.
The most useful for illustrations of ecclesiastical rites, and incidentally for the vestments of all orders of the clergy, and for instrumenta, are the Pontificals; e.g.—
The Pontifical of Landulph of Milan, 9th century, engraved in D’Agincourt’s L’Art par ses monuments; Painting, Plates XXXVII. and XXXVIII.
Tiberius B. VIII. contains two MSS. One English, of the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century.
