Prebendary
A prebendary is a member of the Roman Catholic or Anglican clergy, a form of canon with a role in the administration of a cathedral or collegiate church. When attending services, prebendaries sit in particular seats, usually at the back of the choir stalls, known as prebendal stalls. History At the time of the ''Domesday Book'' in 1086, the canons and dignitaries of the cathedrals of England were supported by the produce and other profits from the cathedral estates.. In the early 12th century, the endowed prebend was developed as an institution, in possession of which a cathedral official had a fixed and independent income. This made the cathedral canons independent of the bishop, and created posts that attracted the younger sons of the nobility. Part of the endowment was retained in a common fund, known in Latin as ''communia'', which was used to provide bread and money to a canon in residence in addition to the income from his prebend. Most prebends disappeared in 1547 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Life Peer
In the United Kingdom, life peers are appointed members of the peerage whose titles cannot be inherited, in contrast to hereditary peers. In modern times, life peerages, always created at the rank of baron, are created under the Life Peerages Act 1958 and entitle the holders to seats in the House of Lords, presuming they meet qualifications such as age and citizenship. The legitimate children of a life peer are entitled to style themselves with the prefix "The Honourable", although they cannot inherit the peerage itself. Before 1887 The Crown, as '' fount of honour'', creates peerages of two types, being hereditary or for life. In the early days of the peerage, the Sovereign had the right to summon individuals to one Parliament without being bound to summon them again. Over time, it was established that once summoned, a peer would have to be summoned for the remainder of their life, and later, that the peer's heirs and successors would also be summoned, thereby firmly entre ...

Hinton Blewett
Hinton Blewett is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, north of Wells and south of Bristol on the northern slope of the Mendip Hills, within the designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and in the Chew Valley near the source of the River Chew. The parish has a population of 308. History An estate called ''Hantone'' is recorded in the Somerset section of Domesday Book (1086), and it was in existence as a recognised, bounded and named territorial entity before, and perhaps well before the Norman Conquest. Absolutely nothing is yet known about the nature, location or extent of any early medieval settlement at Hinton. However, with an assessment of 8 hides in the late 11th century, it was clearly a significant place, and is likely to have sustained a moderate population. Using a multiplier of five for each of the individuals recorded by Domesday, the total population at that time is likely to have been in the region of 90 people. The form of their settle ...
