* This is an instance of the extreme jealousy with which the rights of the mother church were guarded when a private oratory was erected. Its dependance on the mother church was marked by many signs, of which, Kennet observes, the prime and most effectual was the payment of tithes and other offerings, and all profits whatsoever, to the mother church; the capellane was bound on certain festivals to repair there, and he took an oath of due reverence and obedience to its rectors. By a constitution of Archbishop Winchilsea, that oath was, "that to the parochial church, and the rector and vicar of it, he would do no manner of hurt or prejudice in his oblations, portions, and all accustomed dues; but as much as lay in his power would defend and serve them in all respects." These marks of subordination are carefully preserved in the present instance.
