Comment
Date: Tiverton church had been granted to St James Priory by Earl Baldwin I (above, no. 25), apparently in its entirety. Following the above agreement, only half the church was confirmed to the priory (below, no. 61) and in 1284 only a portion of the advowson remained in its hands, the rest being held by the Redvers family (CIPM 1272-91, p 388, no. 539). For the grant of Cotley Wood, see above no. 28. Silverton, where the charter was issued, was held of the Redvers family in the 13th century and presumably earlier (CIPM 1216-72, p 15, no. 63; Aids, i, 321). Bartholomew of Exeter, who witnesses, later (1180 x 1184) confirmed this agreement when bishop of Exeter (Bartholomew of Exeter, pp 148-9) A.D.
