ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.

Data from the 'Collectio Rerum Ecclesiasticarum' from the year 1842.

The place: GARTON.     Church dedication: ST. MICHAEL.     Church type: Discharged Vicarage.

Area, 3,030 acres. Holderness wapentake, M.D. -Population, 297 *1; Church-room, 220 *2; Net value, £97. -This Church was appropriated by Archbishop Walter Gray to the Abbey and Convent of Thornton upon Humber, and a Vicarage ordained therein.

Torre does not give the endowment. The first Vicar named in his catalogue was instituted before 1325.

Patron, the Lord Chancellor.

Impropriator, Col. Grimston.

Archbishop Sharp says, " there is a payment of 20 nobles per annum due from Alderman Mastres, of Hull, for finding a sermon in this Church once a month."

The Church is valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation at £6. 13s. 4d.; in the King's books the Vicarage is valued at £6. 1s.; in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. page 249, at £10; and in 1818, at £114. 7s. 2½d. per annum.

Augmented in 1767 with £200, and in 1787 with £200, -both by lot.

" The great tithes are alienated, and belong to Mr. W. Maister, Parliament Burgher, for Hull. The impropriator by ancient custom (if not otherwise) is obliged to furnish the parish with a monthly sermon, for which he paid to some minister or other, £4 a year, but afterwards the minister of Garton agreed for 40s. a year with the impropriator, but it growing into desuetude for many years, and the impropriators paying nothing, the present Mr. Maister now pays 40s. a year by way of gratuity, and will not have it paid by way of right. The tithe lambs and all other petit tithes and offerings, and mortuaries, and 2d. per pound for servant's wages, belong to the Vicar. The yearly value of the Vicarage does not exceed £10. There is no glebe except a piece of ground that pays 7s. a year only. The Living is in the gift of the Queen, but bath been held by sequestration above sixty years, because of its small value." Signed " Tho. Thomson, Curate." Notitia Parochialis, No. 1,015.

An Inclosure Act was passed 14th Geo. III.

The glebe house was returned in 1818 as unfit for residence, being " too small ;" and in 1834, it was returned as unfit.

The Register Books commence in 1662.

Parochial Charities-No return.

Post town: Hedon.
