Papers relating to college livings.

Title Thurning, Norfolk
Reference CCCC09L/A
(former reference: XXX A)
Creator Various
Covering Dates 1718–1891
Extent and Medium 1 box
Content and context

The advowson was purchased by the college in 1718. In 1938 the living was united with that of Wood Dalling.

The statement in Masters (and Lamb) that the advowson was purchased from Robert Wace, the then rector of Thurning and Fulmodeston, appears to be mistaken. Wace was, however, the vendor the Fulmodeston-cum-Croxton. See XXX B 15.

The village is sometimes spelled Thirning.

For the decision to purchase on the favourable report of two fellows, see Chapter Book, 3, pp. 64-5.
