  • Meaning of "...presented to the church..."

    From Girl57@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 1 11:06:28 2022
    Wondering about meaning(s) of persons "...presented to the church...," as within the below, of Sir John Conyers and wife Margaret Darcy of Yorkshire, to the church of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Notts (end of first paragraph, Conyers section, #10, Margery Darcy..
    .p. 530):

    Reference says couple presented in 1465, and "he alone in 1482, 1483, 1489, 1490." John held advowson, I think. Does this mean that they/he presented candidates/appointees to be rector there in those years?

    Yes. The patrons of a presentation to a rectory were those that held the advowson.
