Unclear text[edit]

"In 1258, following a dispute, the land was formally appropriated to the abbey and a vicarage was ordained. As it was close to Abingdon Abbey, it was probably run by the monks themselves rather than being left to a steward. In 1278, however, Hugh de Courtenay, Lord of the Manor of Sutton, sued the abbey for advowson. An allegedly biased jury was impanneled and in 1284 it found unexpectedly for Courtenay. Solomon of Rochester, the chief justice of the eyre, who presided over the jury, was the first to be partitioned by the Courtenays."

This passage is very unclear. 1. A person is normally ordained, not a vicarage. 2. Why should a steward or monks run a vicarage? 3. "the first to be partitioned"? What does "partitioned" mean here? It links to advowson, which has nothing to do with partitions. Does this mean the first vicar to be appointed? 4. The refs have page numbers of over 100 even though they only go up to 38 in the source. Dudley Miles (talk) 13:10, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
