<<Interesting how things vary around the country, and relate both to
money and to distance from places of learning. I work on a rich Suffolk
parish, not far from Cambridge, and virtually all the men presented to
the living in the 16th century were graduates, and many Magister. I
don't know if anyone has ever looked at the Norwich diocese in
general.>>


Did the advowson belong to a Cambridge college? If so the parish would
probably have always been given to senior fellows of the college.
