Area, 1,990 acres. Buckrose wapentake *1. -Population, 300 *2 ; Church-room, 280 *3 ; Net value, £111.

Patron and impropriator, the Prebendary of the Cathedral of York.

The Prebendary hath the manor and twenty-two oxgangs of demesne land, each worth one mark per annum ; also two marks rent out of a certain mill, and bath jurisdiction of the whole town.

The monks of Roche had two acres of land here.

Mr. Torre gives no account of the ordination of the Vicarage, but notices an augmentation made in the time of Henry VI. by the Prebendary of £1. 0s. 8d. per annum.

Valued in the King's Books at £12; in 1707, at £19; in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. pages 433-460, it is stated: " Vicarage, £13. Garraby to be taken from Kirkby Grindalyth, and added to this parish. The tithes of wool and lamb, Easter book, and all small tithes, worth £6 per annum ;" and in 1818, at £95 per annum.

Augmented in 1760 with £200, and in 1804 with £200, -both by lot.

Torre gives a catalogue of Vicars, commencing in 1349.

" Bugthorpe is a Vicarage, pays £1. 4s. yearly to the Queen. We cannot find the endowment. The Vicar hath a house and garth, and church-yard, scarce worth valuing, together with a small parcel of glebe land in two fields, as also a horse gate, two beast gates, with common pasture, with three beast gates in an east field, viz. pasture ground, price 40s. a year, tithe wool and lamb, and other small tithes, and the Easter book, belong to the Vicar. There is an augmentation of £5 per annum made by Dr. Burton, and Dr. Wyrell has promised £3 more on the next renewal of the Prebendal lease. The Vicarage is worth £18 a year." Signed, " Thos. Watson, Vic." -Notitia Parochialis, No. 1,222.
