Rice Rees, in his Essay on the Welsh Saints published in 1836, added a valuable appendix, containing "A list of churches and chapels in Wales, including the county of Monmouth and part of the county of Hereford, arranged with reference to their subordination". This list was drawn up in counties, with a view to ascertaining the names of the saints who laid the foundations of the British Church of Wales in about the fifth and sixth centuries, and it was the original intention in this paper simply to revise it. Whilst the revision was being made, it became more and more clear that the arrange- ment of these ancient religious foundations in accordance with the present Welsh counties, which are of compara- tively recent origin, seriously interfered with the attain- ment of the object in view, for to the actual saints these county divisions were unknown, so that their religious establishments could not have been founded with reference to them. It seemed to follow, therefore, that the list should be drawn up in accordance with the secular or political divisions of the country as these were in the time of the saints themselves, a task for which I did not feel equal, notwithstanding the excellent material to be found in Dr. Henry Owen's Pembrokeshire and other publi- cations of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion. But as it is recognised by scholars that the old ecclesiastical Parochiale Wallicanum. 3 divisions of Wales generally follow the secular divisions of pre-county days, it was clear that a basis might be found here upon which to start building ; and because great changes had been made in these ecclesiastical divisions during the nineteenth century, it seemed well to find a list prior to this time and yet sufficiently near (for a first venture) to be controlled by other evidence. Such a list is to be found in the work entitled Parochiale Anglicanum, published in 1733, and compiled by the famous English antiquary, Browne Willis, of Whaddon Hall, Buckinghamshire. My revision of Rice Rees's Appendix, therefore, was all written out afresh, and the churches, chapels, etc., re-arranged according to their respective dioceses, archdeaconries, and deaneries, as these were and are described in Browne Willis's above-mentioned work. Those portions of our Thirteen Counties, which were not at that time in any Welsh diocese, are placed under the diocese to which they severally belonged, without regard to the smaller ecclesiastical divisions they happened to be in ; and a few foundations neither in Wales nor in any Welsh diocese are added in like manner on account of their probable, or possible, British origin in the days when Wales (or Brittania as she was then styled) extended beyond her present boundaries. It need hardly be said that no attempt is made here to exhaust the list of Welsh Church foundations to the time of Browne Willis and Rice Rees, but merely to arrange what must surely be now the bulk of the material, for the purpose of deter- mining both the leading religious establishments of those early days and the saints who founded them. The subor- dination of "churches and chapels", except in a few instances, follows Rice Rees, with those, which are or were extinct, printed in italics; no modern foundation since Rees' time is inserted. 4 Parochiale Wallicanum. Browne Willis's list of patrons of Welsh benefices as they were about the year 1720, is here included, which list cannot fail to be of interest to students of the religious and ecclesiastical history of Wales within the last two centuries. In view of the significant importance of this subject of church patronage it is extraordinary how small a place is assigned to it in Welsh Church history books. I have therefore reproduced the list, which is by no means the least important part of Browne Willis's compilation. — — Parochiale Wallicanum. Diocese of St. 2>at>ib's. In 1733 this diocese comprised : 1. Pembrokeshire. 2. Cardiganshire. 3. Carmarthenshire. 4. Breconshire. 5.

The members of the Cathedral were : the Bishop, "who is Quasi Decanus (having the Decanal Stall in Choir, as well as a most stately throne)". Precentor \ Chancellor L styled Residentiarii nati. Treasurer ) Four Archdeacons. Eight Prebendaries. Six Canons Cursal. The above twenty-two " compose the number of the Prebendaries". Subchanter. Pour Priest-Vicars. Four Lay-Vicars or Singing men. Organist. Four Choristers. Master of Grammar School. Verger. Porter. Sexton. Keeper of Church in prayer time. Thus they were forty-one in all. Besides the above three Resi- dentiarii nati, who are " so by vertue of their Places ", there were three other Canons chosen out of the Archdeacons, Prebendaries, and Canons Cursal, "under which six Residentiaries, namely, the Pre- centor, Chancellor, Treasurer, and the said three elected Canons (who ought here, according to the Statutes, regularly to reside), is the Government of the Church". Browne Willis incidentally remarks that the First Fruits of the Bishopric were considerably diminished by Bishop Barlow. I. ARCHDEACONRY OF ST. DAVID'S. 1.
