The place: AUGHTON.     Church dedication: ALL SOULS.     Church type: Discharged Vicarage.

Area, 4,200 acres. Harthill wapentake, Holme Beacon. -Population, 665 *1; Church-room, 200 *2; Net value, £90.

In the town of Aughton are five and a half carucates of land (where twenty-four made a knight's fee), held by German del Hoy, of the Lords Mauley.

Nigel held land at Aughton of Earl Morton, formerly belonging to Ernui. Other lands held by Richard, formerly belonging to Lepsi, Grim, and Lefchil. William de Warrene had one sokeman and three bordars. Nigel also held a manor in Cottingwith, formerly Cnuds' ; Ralph Paganel held ten oxgangs of waste ; and Emeis de Barun held one carucate, also waste, formerly Grim's.

This Church was given by the Del Hays to the Priory of Ellerton, who for some time served the Cure by one of their own Canons, to which it was appropriated, and a Vicarage was ordained therein, 4th Kal. September 1231, but the endowment was for the life of the then Vicar only. In Archbishop Sharp's time the patronage was in Lord Castleton. In 1753, Lord Scarborough presented. In 1763, Thomas Moseley, of Wigginton, presented; and, in 1786, William Deans was collated by the Archbishop, by reason of lapse.

The first date given in Torre's catalogue of Vicars is in 1484.

Patron, T. Mosley, Esq.

The Church is valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation at £40; in the King's books the Vicarage is valued at £4; in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. p. 366, it is stated : " £30 impropriation ; £13.6s. 8d. the minister ;" and, in 1818, at £85. 18s. 3d. per annum.

Augmented in 1722 with £200 to meet benefaction of a rent charge of £5 and lands worth £5 per annum from the Earl of Castleton.

The Register books commence in 1611.
