[305] At Winsham, Somerset, a document was drawn up in 1581, apportioning among certain parishioners (by virtue of their holdings), the vicar, and finally the whole parish, how many feet of wattled fence each should keep in repair, or what stiles each was to maintain: _Notes and Quer. for Somer. and Dor_., v, 538. See a similar agreement in _Morebath_ (Devon) _Acc'ts_, 38. Also in Marsh, _Hist. of Calne_, 372, the list at Calne. Here are 25 groups of houses and certain individuals charged with making and keeping the churchyard bounds. See also _Canterbury Visit_., xxv, 34 (Suit brought before the archdeacon against the tenant of a holding whose former owners had for 40 years repaired a portion of the church fence, 1611). For presentments to the courts Christian for non-repair of church fence by individuals, see _Dean of York's Visit_., 214, 228, 325 (1570-1599). [306] _Canterbury Visit_., xxv, 26 (A parishioner of Herne presented for withholding 9s., "which hath always been accustomed to be paid out of a certain house and lands." 1592).

[309] _Hist. and Antiq. of Leicestershire_, by John Nichols (1815), i, Pt. ii, 569 ff. [310] See in T. Nash, _Hist. and Antiq. of Worcestershire_, i, pp. lii-lvi, a long list of Pentecost, etc., farthings paid by each parish of the diocese in lump sums varying from 3d. to 3s. [311] _Morebath Acc'ts_ (ed. Binney), 34, _s. a_. 1531, seem to offer a genuine example of such a payment of Peter's pence. But the Minchinhampton wardens (Acc'ts in _Archaeologia_, xxxv, 422 ff.), confuse their payments to the mother church, made in 1575 ff., with Peter's pence. See, _e.g., s. a_. 1575, the entry: "to the sumner [or apparitor] for peterpence or smoke farthynges sometyme due to the Anthecriste of roome ... xd." [312] See, _e.g_., Sam'l. Barfield, _Thatcham, Berks, and its Manors_, ii, 122 (Midgham and Greenham called upon against their will for contributions to mother church). _Surtees Soc_., lxxxiv, 123 (Dispute ending in a suit between St. Oswald and St. Margaret. 1595 ff.). _Memorials of Stepney, 1-2_ (Parishioners of Stratford Bow forced to contribute to St. Dunstan's, the mother church). [313] _E.g._, the vestry of St. Christopher-le-Stocks, London _(Minutes_, ed E. Freshfield), agree to cess "the parishioners" for money to prosecute a suit for certain parish lands in 1585-6. When the lands were recovered each was to have his money back _(Minutes_, p. 12). But those assessed numbered only 38 (p. 13), whereas we see by a list (p. 12) that 43 persons were here assessed for the Queen's subsidy; and subsidy men were the wealthier men of the parishes. Cf. assessment at Lapworth for Barford bridge levied on 26 tenements, cottagers not being assessed. Hudson, _Memorials of a Warwickshire Parish_, 115.
