| 1291 | History | Gelderegge (Gillridge) | Buxted The Beautiful | ||
| In the Papal Registers under the date of 1291, a mandate was issued by the Pope to the Archbishop of Canterbury “to grant a licence, on the representation of John, Rector of Bocstede in the Dioc. of Chichester for building a chapel within the limits of his parish for the inhabitants of the town of Gelderegge (Gillridge) who in winter are hindered by floods and bad roads from coming to church and at present go to the neighbouring church of Withyhame, to the injury of the said rectory, it being exempt from the jurisdiction of the Bp. of Chichester and subject to the Archbishop.” | |||||
| Sep 1291 | Information | Gelderegg | Sutton's Historical Notes | ||
| In the 13th century Gelderegg, it appears, was just within the limits of the parish of Buxted, but the boundary line has since been diverted, for Gilderedge is now in the adjoining parish of Withyham. .......... It appears that the inhabitants of Gelderegg were situated at such a distance from their parish church at Buxted that during the greater part of the winter season, owing to inundations and the dangerous character of the highway, they were unable to attend that church . .... necessity therefore compelled them to resort to the more accessible church of Withyham ....... led to petition Pope Nicholas IV that in order to prevent these irregularities on the part of the inhabitants of Gelderegg, a chapel having a chaplain of its own should be built within the parish of Buxted but adjacent to Gelderegg......... The Pope agreed to this, and a bull was accordingly sent to the Archbishop to that effect dated 4 Kal. Sept. 1291.......... the Archbishop granted to John de Lewes, rector of the church of Bocstede, two acres of land lying on the waste of Crowbergh Hill at a place commonly called Scherche juxta Gelderegg on which a new chapel was to be built and a cemetery provided........ no trace of a chapel has been discovered at Gelderegg, it is impossible to say whether it was ever built or not............ | |||||
