These livings included benefices in the king's gift worth over £20 a year, and presentations to others falling to the crown as a result of simony, wardship (for 1635-41) and the suspension of Bishop Williams of Lincoln (1637-40). The Lord Keeper disposed of crown livings valued under £20 a year, on which see R.
