There was a Mannor in Screvinton, of the Fee of Odo Bishop of Bayon, which Toti had, before the Normans came, and paid to the Geld for it as twelve Bovats.

The Tythes of these three Fees have ever been and are yet distinct. Those of Orston Soc are the third part, and belong to the Church of Lin∣colne, as part of the Rectory of Orston, and are now held by me of the Dean and Chapter.

And the custom of dividing the Tythes is at eighteen; the Rector of Screveton hath eight; I, for the Church of Lincolne have six; and Mr. Whalley four.
