The "dwelling-house" mentioned in this Terrier (Terrier, from Latin terræ, lands) is, no doubt, the old Vicarage situate where the garden belonging to the Living now is, at the North end of the Vicarage croft, on the Darton road. It was pulled down by the advice of the Diocesan Surveyor in 1875, when the present garden was made. The payment for it due to the owner of Micklethwaite—i.e., Banks Hall—shows the land to have been part of the Banks estate. The Vicar's Pension, called "the tythes of Cawthorne," is united with the Easter offerings and fees for Christenings, weddings, and burials, as amounting altogether to £20.
The "Bowling Alley" land, which can scarcely be any longer recognised in the field fronting the Parsonage to the South, with the consent of the Freeholders and Minister was exchanged with the administrators of Mary West for an equal piece of the "Penny Pot Croft," which now belongs to the Vicarage on the West side.
The £6 a year from Bean-furrs was the voluntary gift of Thomas Pashley, as recorded on his headstone.
There is an entry of this gift made separately at the other end of the old Register, dated March 34th, 1672: it speaks of the crofts being Bean-furrs, new close, and far field Intack, "Bean-furrs being now divided into two, so that there are four closes." In the original Indenture, made July 13, 1667, Thomas Pashley conveys these closes, "parcell of a tenement in Cawthorne called Broadgates," to Sir Thos. Wentworth of Bretton Hall, Knight and Baronet, Thomas Barnby of Barnby, Esq., and William Greene of Micklethwaite, gent., to the use and behoofe of the Minister of Cawthorne for the time being for ever, a William Nicholls being one of the witnesses. In the earliest lists of payments due to the Minister of Cawthorne, and in one of 1739, the entry is always "Rent," and not, as afterwards, "Rent-charge," for Bean-furrs.
The Indenture states that Thomas Pashley, "having taken into consideration the small yearly value of the stipend belonging to the Minister of Cawthorne, and being charitably minded to settle some part of his estate to the use of the Minister Incumbent thereof from time to time for ever, for their better maintenance and sustentation," conveys for five shillings of lawful money these closes containing nine
