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

The place: BAINTON.     Church dedication: SAINT ANDREW.     Church type: Rectory in charge.

Area, 2,320 acres. Harthill wapentake. Bainton Beacon. -Population , 358 *1; Church-room, 650; Net value, £757. -Peter de Mauley held in Bainton nine and a half carucates of land (which made one knight's fee), whereof the Prior of Gisburne held in frankalmoigne five oxgangs ; also six oxgangs more, on suit of the King ; and Mr. Thomas de Grimston six other oxgangs, on suit ; likewise the Prior of Ellerton nineteen oxgangs, and Roger de Lynton thirteen oxgangs ;-and the Church is endowed with half a carucate of land.

Nigel held Bainton at the time of the Survey, under the Earl of Morton. He had there two ploughs, a priest, and ten villanes, with three ploughs.

This Church was anciently of the patronage of the Lords Manby, from them it came to the Salvins, Knights, and after Queen Elizabeth's time the Gees presented. Sir William Gee, in 1611, left the Advowson to St. John's College, Cambridge. This did not, it seems, take just effect, as in 1619 Ralph Salvin presented, and then the Hodgsons. The perpetual Advowson was finally purchased by the College for £700, and the President and Scholars first presented in 1741.

Torre gives a catalogue of the Rectors of this Church.
