The Prebends of Southwell were the benefices held by the Prebendaries, or Canons of Southwell Minster. ==History== The Prebends of Southwell were established from the eleventh century and by 1291, the number had grown to sixteen. In 1540 the prebends and minster were suppressed but an act of Parliament in 1543 re-established ''the college and church collegiate of Southwell''. Under an Act of King Edward VI, the prebendaries were given pensions and their estates sold. The minster continued as the parish church on the petitions of the parishioners. By an Act of Philip and Mary in 1557, the minster and its prebends were restored.〔Notts Villages. W. E Doubleday, as published in The Nottinghamshire Guardian.〕 On 2 April 1585 a set of statutes was promulgated by Queen Elizabeth I and the chapter operated under this constitution until it was dissolved in 1841.〔The British Magazine and Monthly Register of Religious and Ecclesiastical Information, Parochial History, and Documents Respecting the State of the Poor, Progress of Education, Etc, Volume 20 Hugh James Rose, Samuel Roffey Maitland. J. Petheram, 1841. p.448〕 The Ecclesiastical Commissioners made provision for the abolition of the chapter as a whole; the death of each canon after this time resulted in the extinction of his prebend. The chapter came to its appointed end on 12 February 1873 with the death of the Rev Thomas Henry Shepherd, rector of Clayworth and prebendary of Beckingham.〔'Colleges: The collegiate church of Southwell', A History of the County of Nottingham: Volume 2 (1910), pp. 152-161.〕 The Prebends of Southwell now are best known by the Prebendal houses, ten of which survive to this day, most as private residences in the town.〔A Prospect of Southwell.
