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

The place: BURTON AGNES.     Church dedication: ST. MARTIN.     Church type: Vicarage in charge.

Area, 6,540 acres. Dickering wapentake. -Population, 653 *1; Church-room, 450 *2; Net value, £897. -In 1299, Sir William de St. Quintin, knt. lord of Harpham, gave to the Abbot and Monks of Fountains, a free road and chase for carriages, &c. beyond the moor of Burton Agnes, of forty feet in breadth.

The Abbey of Byland also held an oxgang of land with a toft, one acre and a rood of land in Haisthorpe.

The Church and tithes were given by Gosfred Baynard to the Abbey of St. Mary's, to which it was appropriated, and a Vicarage ordained therein 4 Non. September 1235 ; and in 1619, the Crown presented by lapse, the patronage afterwards went into the Bridgewater family, and then to the St. Quintin's.

Here was a Chantry, founded by Robert de Somervile.

King Henry VIII. on the 6th February, 36th year of his reign, granted the advowson of this Church to the See of York; but in the grant, the advowson was by error said to have belonged to St. Mary's Abbey, which was not then suppressed. In 1600, the Archbishop collated William Crashaw, upon which the heirs of the Earl of Derby brought a quare impedit, and judgment was given against Crashaw, but afterwards Crashaw was reinstated. -Vide Cook's Entries, 494.

Patron, R. Raikes, Esq.

Impropriator, T. St. Quintin, Esq.

The Church is valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation at £44, new taxation, £34; in the King's books, the Vicarage was valued at £20. 6s. 2d.; Synodals 7s. 6d.; Procuration 8s.; Pension to the Abbot of St. Mary, £10. 13s. 4d.; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. page 411, at £65 per annum.

"The Vicarage cum Capella de Harpham, is endowed with the third part of all the great tithes in the three common fields, and with all the tithes of the old enclosures; the other two parts of the tithes belong to the Church of York, to the Archbishop, or his proctors. The endowment is not to be found in Scriptis, but supposed so by custom ; the value is above £120 per annum. The present Archbishop claimed the right of presentation, but it was adjudged against him by the two Judges to whom it was referred, about Easter 1703." Signed, " Jo. Burghope, Vic." -Notitia Parochialis, No. 242.

15th May 1730, a faculty was granted to shorten the Chancel of this Church.

21st March 1763, a licence was granted to erect a monument to the memory of Sir Griffith Boynton, Bart.

An Inclosure Act was passed 13th Geo. III.

The glebe house is fit for residence. It was rebuilt under a faculty granted 13th October 1760.

The Register Books commence in 1700.

The schoolmaster charges a moderate quarterage for writing and arithmetic.
