Administrative / Biographical history

Most of the property catalogued as ECR 45, namely the rectory of Climping and its appurtenances, came to Eton College as the result of a grant by Edward IV of the priory of Leomynstre or Lyminster, co. Sussex, on 24 February 1462. This small nunnery was a cell of the Benedictine abbey of St Mary of AlmenĂȘches in Normandy.
In 1445, an acre of land in Petworth and the advowson of the church there was granted to the college by the earl of Northumberland and his wife and sons. The connection between the college and the church of Petworth was severed in 1692.
