LINCOLN EPISCOPAL REGISTERS.
AMONG the Bridges MSS. at the Bodleian
Library are two volumes of extracts from
the Episcopal Registers at Lincoln, copied
early in the eighteenth century for the his-
torian of Northamptonshire. How far they
may be relied on must be left for others to
say ; but the writer would be glad to learn
whether (1) the particulars recorded in
"Bridges MSS., c. 24-25," are correct tran
scripts ; (2) the registers at Lincoln are com-
plete. In order the better to judge their
merits all the extracts relating to Moulton, a
parish since 1541 in the diocese of Peter-
borough, have been copied, and these will be
found below. The first is concerned with the
ordination of Moulton Vicarage* about the
year 1220, but as this is the only reference to
be found in the Bridges MSS., the question
arises whether some other source of infor-
mation at Lincoln has not been overlooked.
Again, basing his statement on the fifth
extract, Bridges mentionst that in 1298 the
bishop issued a mandate requiring the
- In 1254 the rectory was rated at twelve marks,
with a pension of 13s. 4dL out of the vicarage, which was not then valued. MS. Cott. Nero, DX.

parishioners to rebuild their ruined church ;
but is it not possible that the entry may
relate to Moulton, near Spalding, in the
county of Lincoln? Perhaps some one who
knows that corner well will reply.

- Baker, ' Hist, of Northants ' (1822), states that
" Budes occurs in the endowment of the Vicarage," and therefore gives his name first in the list of incumbents.
f Rector of St. Gregory's, Northampton, in 1280 (Baker).
J Vicar of Rothersthorpe, 1300, and Rector of Quinton the following year (ibid.).
Pat. Roll, 11 Edward III. (1337), m. 39: "Pre- sentation of William de Wilford, parson of the church of Paunton by Wrageby in the diocese of Lincoln, to the vicarage of the church of Multon by Northampton in the same diocese, in the king's gift by reason of the temporalities of the priory of St. Andrew, Northampton, being in his hands ; on an exchange of benefices with Ralph de Lameleye." (4 Sept. 1337 at Woodstock.)
II His presentation, it will be noticed, is not in- cluded in the MS. ; nor does the name appear of William de Brysingham, who is placed among the vicars by Baker, by reason of the fact that he "occurs as party to a deed with John de Verdon of Brixworth in 1331." Other gaps exist in the tran- script for the years 1235-63, 1358-73, 1404-19, 1423- 1433, and 1484-1530.
