[288] Baker, _Mere Acc'ts (Wilts Arch_, [etc.] _Mag_.), 33 (12d. for seats for a man and his wife, "which before were his ffather's." 1561). In a sale to a parishioner in 1556-7 it is expressly stated that she is to hold the seat during "here lyfe Accordynge to the old usage of the parishe": _ibid_., 24. At St. Edmund's, Sarum, the sale was sometimes for life, sometimes for a lesser period. A fine was paid for changing a pew, _Introd_., p. xxi. Cf. order made at Chelmsford in 1592, _Essex Arch. Soc_., ii, 219-20. See in St. John's, Glastonbury, Acc'ts, _Notes and Quer. for Somer. and Dor_., iv, 384, _s.a._ 1574, and _op. cit_., v, _s.a._ 1588, many receipts from the sale of seats. Cf. Pittington Vestry order, 1584, _Surtees Soc_., lxxxiv, 13. _St. Michael's in Bedwardine Acc'ts_, Introd., p. xvi. Fletcher, _History of Loughborough_, Acc'ts, 24 ff. [289] See, _e.g_., in _St. Martin-in-the-Fields Acc'ts_, 214, the long list of receipts "for burialls, knylles and Suche Lyke," _s.aa_. 1563-5. At St. Edmund, Sarum, burials with christenings and banns netted £8 5s. 2d. in 1592-3 (_Acc'ts_, 141). At Kingston-upon-Thames in 1579 burials totalled 39s. 8d.: _Surrey Arch. Coll_., viii, 75. In _St. Michael's, Cornhill_, London, _Acc'ts_ (ed. W.H. Overall & A.J. Waterlow), 178-9, the receipts from knells and peals alone were 44s. 8d. in 1589-90. [290] J.V. Kitto, _St. Martin-in-the-Fields Acc'ts_ (1901), 106, _note_. [291] One of the most systematic tariffs I know of is that of St. Alphage, London Wall (G.B. Hall, _Records of St. A_., 28-30) drawn up in 1613. First there are _The Parson's dutyes for Parishioners_, for bann-askings, weddings, churchings, etc., as well as a percentage on offerings. Then the burial fees due him, without or with a coffin, in churchyard or in church, etc. Then comes the heading, _The dutyes belonging to the Parrish for Parrishioners_, a catalogue of fees for burial under various conditions. Then follow _The Parrishe's dutyes for the Bells_ (knells, peals, with small or large bells). Finally, _The Clarke his dutyes for Parishioners_ (Bann-askings, weddings, churchings, grave digging, tolling the bells for funerals in various ways, and on specified occasions, etc.). All the above fees are doubled in case of non-parishioners. See also the Salehurst tariff of 1597, most comprehensive and minute also: _Sussex Arch. Coll_., xxv, 154-5. Also parish order in _St. Martin's, Leicester, Acc'ts_ (ed. Thos. North), 19 and 128, _s. aa_. 1570-1 and 1584-5, as to duties for bells. These are regulated according to the rank of the person. _St. Margaret, Lothbury, Vestry Min., 2_ (Order regulating fees for "weddinges, cristeings, churchinges and berrialls" of 1571). See also the tariff of St. Edmund, Sarum (_Acc'ts_, 194), of 1608.
