Next beneath the list: * 1644 – JOHN BOWYER A.M. (Introduced by the Commonwealth) / † Prebendiary of St. Pauls Cathedral. Under heading of ‘Note’: There is in the Chapter House of Worcester Cathedral an ancient document written in black letter upon a parchment scroll and dated AD 1247, by which the Abbey of Evesham expressed its willingness to give over the Parish of Hillingdon to WALTER Bishop of Worcester and his successors – The Pope sanctioned the transfer but it was not acted upon by the then Bishop of Worcester. In AD 1281 his successor GODFREY made his claim before the Consistory Court of London and became Rector of Hillingdon. At the same time provision was made by a deed for the appointment of a Vicar to be maintained out of Church lands tithes and other oblations of the Parish, and for the building of a Vicarage House, the presentation to the Vicarage being reserved to the Bishop of London and his successors for ever. The Bishops of Worcester therefore became successively Rectors of Hillingdon from 1281 to 1855. By a deed dated 27th January 1855 the then Bishop of Worcester transferred to J. B. SLADEN all that Capital Messuage or Rectory of Hillingdon with the lands held therewith with the exception of 120 acres or thereabouts: and the premises comprised in this exception were transferred to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners as from 24th June 1855, under the provisions of an Order in Council gazetted 28th September 1855.
