In the summer and autumn, at least fifteen of these clergymen fell victims to the plague ; among them the rector of Bunwell and the vicar of Tibenham, adjoining parishes. The vicarage was a poor one ; it was worth no one's holding ; the rectory had been held by William Banyard, a near relative of Sir Robert Banyard, lord of the manor ; " the plague carried him off in July, and his successor was instituted on the 25th of the month, but does not seem to have come into residence immediately. There... had been a clean sweep of the old incumbents from all the parishes for miles round; the poor people, left to themselves, became demoralized; there seems to have been a general scramble, and for a while no redress anywhere.. It is recorded that the cattle roamed at will over the standing corn with IN EAST ANGLIA. 237 none to tend them, and that there had been none to make the lord!s hay ; that among others who had died there were five substantial men among the homagers on whose lands heriots of more or less' 'value were due I'but no heriot was recoverable, inas- much as since the last court certain persons un- known had plundered all that could be carried off T-cattle and sheep and horses and goods, and there was nothinjg to distrain upon but the bare lands and 'the bare walls.
