Description
Relating to the descent of the advowson on "the church of Stonistanton [Stanton by Bridge] next to Swerkeston Brydge" and the decision of the Chancellor Lichfield, Dr. David Pole, manuscript, 1p., folds, 1 corner slightly creased, some light soiling mostly to edges, 400 x 282mm [c. 1545]; and 5 other documents relating to the church, its vicars, v.s., v.d. (6 documents in 2 folders)
Footnote
Note: The pedigree traces down members of the Staunton and Peverell families, with allusions to an agreement to present by turn in 1276, as far as Ralph Peverell, who is noted (in a different mid 16th century document) to have granted to Robert Fraunceys de Fornewerk in 1355. An advowson is the right of presentation to a benefice - a church living.
Davd Pole (d. 1568), Bishop of Peterborough 1557-59, variously Canon of Lichfield 1531; vicar general and official principal of Bishops of Coventry and Lichfield 1534 and again in 1543. Pole was a persecutor of protestants and served on the panel that condemned Latimer, Ridley, Hooper and Cranmer.
