ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.

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

The place: NORTON.     Church dedication: PATRON SAINT NOT KNOWN.     Church type: Perpetual Curacy.

Area, 2,510 acres. Buckrose wapentake. -Population *1, 1,425 ; Church-room, 500; Net value, £120. -Norton with Welham formed a portion of the fee of Hugh, the son of Baldric. At the time of the Survey, there was a Church, a priest, and a mill. The manor is one of the very few which were returned of the same value as in the time of King Edward the Confessor. William de Percy gave three oxgangs of land at Norton to Thickhed Nunnery, and Adam de Rainavill and William Folliot gave a mill at Norton to Nostel Priory.

The Church was appropriated to the Priory of Malton, and served by one of their Canons, and therefore there was probably no Vicarage endowed.

Torre is silent, merely giving " Norton juxta Malton, Cap."

Patrons, the representatives of Thomas Ewbank, Esq.

Impropriators, several proprietors.

The Church is valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation, at £8; new taxation, £5; in 1707, the Cure was valued at £9. 4s. 1d.; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. page 430, at £10.

Augmented in 1743, with £200; and in 1767, with 2001, both by lot ; in 1811, with £300 from the Parliamentary grant, to meet benefactions of £100 from the Rev. J. Richardson, the Incumbent, and £100 from Robert Brown, Esq.; in 1816, with £800; and in 1826, with £200, both from the same grant, by lot.

An Inclosure Act for Sutton was passed 9th Geo. III.

10th August 1813, faculty to rebuild the gallery.

28th June 1814, a faculty was granted to rebuild the Church.
