2. A hand is drawn in the right-hand margin
pointing to this entry. The words vicaria and
vicariam in no. 214 are clearly alterations. Bp.
Stretton's register notes that the text of this
and other institutions to Winwick vicarage were
inspected and evidence heard that ecclesia and
ecclesiam had been altered by John de Leycestr',
chapter clerk of Lichfield. The commissary ordered
vicaria and vicariam to be restored in the text
instead of ecclesia and ecclesiam, see The
Registers or Act Books of the Bishops of Coventry
