| Collation
|
One form of appointment to an ecclesiastical office, either to a benefice or
as a dignitary. This term was applied when the ordinary, usually but not
always the diocesan bishop, appointed to a living of
which he was the patron or which a lapse had brought within his gift. When a clergyman was
appointed to a living by collation, there was no presentation or institution, but
collation was followed by induction or installation.

|
| induction
|
The final stage in the appointment of a clergyman to a benefice, following presentation and
institution, or collation. It was at this point that the clergyman took possession
of the temporalities of the benefice. After institution the ordinary
(usually the bishop) would issue a mandate to the archdeacon or other
empowered person to carry out the induction, which involved laying the hands
of the clergyman being appointed on the doors of the church and the tolling
of a bell. Induction did not normally take place on the same day as institution. In the CCEd, this event is not normally
recorded, and will usually only be found in instances where records of institutions are deficient. Where inductions are
recorded, the evidence for the event may be derived either from a record of
the induction itself or from the issuing of an induction
mandate.

|
| Institution
|
One form of an appointment to a benefice or dignity. Institution was the act
by which a bishop or other ordinary committed a living to the care of a
clergyman. It followed after a presentation, the
cleric's subscription, and the receipt of letters testimonial, and was followed by induction or installation. It
was the only one of these events normally recorded in the episcopal register or act book, and as
such can be regarded as furnishing the date from which an appointment
commenced.

| Nomination
|
The formal act by which the person holding the right to nominate to a curacy or perpetual curacy
did so to request the ordinary (normally the bishop) to grant a licence to
the candidate. The nominator might be either a
clergyman or a layman. The term also describes the request sent to the bishop for a licence to be issued to an assistant or stipendiary
curate to assist a parochial minister in the discharge of his duties,
such a request emanating from the incumbent. Towards
the end of the period covered by the CCEd the name of such a nominator was increasingly recorded in the licence
issued to the curate.

| Presentation
|
The formal act, generally recorded in a presentation
deed, by which a patron indicates to the ordinary (normally the bishop)
the name of the clergyman whom he wishes to be appointed to a benefice by
institution. In certain circumstances, it lies
within the power of the ordinary to reject the presentation. Such refusals,
however, were uncommon and were liable to be challenged in the civil courts.
In cases where the right of presentation was contested, patrons or clergy could enter a caveat,
inhibiting the ordinary from instituting anyone to
the benefice until the dispute was settled. These caveats are often recorded
in registers, but they are not normally extracted
for the CCEd.

|
| bishop
|
The highest order of ministry in the christian church, the English word being
derived from an Anglo-Saxon corruption of the latin term episcopus. In the
Anglican communion bishops have the right to ordain clergy and hold
confirmations. The bishop is also responsible for the ecclesiastical
government and leadership of a territorial jurisdiction known as a diocese,
although at various points in the period covered by the database there were
also ‘suffragan’ bishops assisting the diocesan bishops. The bishop
possesses a throne in the cathedral church of his see city, although his
relationship with the dean and chapter of the cathedral could often be a
tense one (notably when he formally visited his cathedral to examine the
conduct of his affairs), and it was the dean who was in charge of the
affairs of the cathedral. Bishops lived in episcopal palaces, which in some
cases were some considerable distance from the see city, and also spent much
of the year in attendance at the House of Lords, of which they were members
ex officio. Since the Reformation, the post of bishop in the
Church of England has effectively been a crown or prime ministerial
appointment, with the dean and chapter meeting formally to elect the
candidate proposed by the authorities. The bishop was formally admitted to
office through consecration by an archbishop and two other bishops, this act
in the view of some perpetuating the apostolic succession through which
Christ’s commission to his apostles was transmitted through an unbroken
succession to all the clergy.

|
| Dean
|
The first dignitary of a cathedral, and the head of its corporation, also exercising under
the bishop cure of souls over the cathedral body and
administering its discipline. The dean was a corporation sole, with the
right to receiving an estate or patronage as dean
and conveying it to his successors, as well as sharing in the corporate
revenues and patronage of the dean and chapter. The
powers of the dean vary considerably between cathedrals, in some cases the
position being little more than the first among equals in the chapter. The dean did, however, have considerable
independence from the bishop. Some collegiate churches which were not cathedrals, such as
Westminster Abbey, were also presided over by a dean.
The term is also found used in relation to the office of rural dean, which was in some places and at some periods within
the compass of the CCEd fallen into disuse. It will also be found being used
to describe ‘deans of peculiars’, such as the dean of Battle, Sussex, where
the offices reflect the particular jurisdictional status of the incumbent.
It was in addition used to describe an office in many Oxford and Cambridge
colleges, usually with particular responsibilities for discipline or the
chapel.

| Perpetual Curate
|
The title of a clergyman officiating in a parish or district to which he had
been nominated by the impropriator and licensed by the bishop and which was not served by a rector or vicar. Perpetual curates did
not undergo institution or induction. Unlike rectors and vicars their income did not derive from the
possession of tithes.
After the dissolution of the monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII lay
impropriators as lay rectors were required to
nominate persons to serve the cure to the ordinary
(usually the bishop). Such appointments became
‘perpetual’ in that the incumbent could only be
removed by the revocation of the ordinary’s licence. Before the Pluralities Act of 1838 perpetual
curacies were not formally regarded as benefices. In
cases where a perpetual curacy received an augmentation from Queen Anne’s Bounty, under 1 Geo. I, stat. 2 c. 10, s.
4 the livings were declared perpetual cures and the incumbents bodies politic.
In the earlier part of the period covered by the CCEd the term ‘perpetual
curate’ was not employed, such appointments being merely referred to as
‘curates’. However, in the wake of the
legislation relating to the Bounty and the increasing prevalence of the
appointment of other types of curate, in particular stipendiary curates and assistant
curates, the office was increasing described as a perpetual curacy to
mark its superior status.

held by a minor canon. At Llandaff and St David’s,
the precentor was presbyteral head of the chapter.

| Rector
|
A rector is a clergyman who has the charge or cure of
a parish church. During the middle ages some
rectories were appropriated to monasteries. In these cases, the place of the
rector was supplied by another clergyman who was allowed the ‘small’ tithes of the parish for his maintenance and was
called the vicar. After the dissolution of the
monasteries many impropriate rectories along with the ‘great’ tithes of the parish became the property of laymen,
who were known as ‘lay rectors’.
