This vast area of land is subdivided into 194 benefices comprising 450 parishes. He had been given this benefice as a reward for long and faithful service to the Crown. There is no longer a resident priest, the vicarage has been sold and the parish is now one third of a united benefice. The two benefices together did not make him rich, but they ended his years of poverty. In March 1403 his numerous benefices were reckoned to be worth over £800 a year.
