Comment | ARCHDEACONRY OF SUDBURY: TOWN OF BURY ST EDMUNDS
Until last half-year (when they have not been paid), the curates of the two parishes in Bury have received from the King, as impropriator, and divided between themselves, £4/9/5 per half-year. 'They have no other spirituall mayntenance for their service in such a great Congregation, but onlye the benevolence of the parisshioners, wch is sometymes more and sometymes lesse, accordinge as their affections shall move them, to give or not to give, haveinge no lawe to compell them, wch. maketh it to be both small and uncerten.' |
