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