The parish churches thus deprived of their proper incumbents, were, like those bestowed on religious houses, served by vicars. This new application of parochial tithes to non-parochial purjDOses still further extended the evils arising from the want of adequately pro- vided and resident clergy. The earliest example of a colle- giate church appears to have been that of Dunbar, instituted in 1342 by the Earl of March for a dean, arch-priest, and eighteen canons. There were in all thirty-three chu...rches of this class. Most of them were founded in the fifteenth century, and were built in the Middle-Pointed or Flamboyant style of architecture, with the French feature of a three-sided eastern termination resembling an apse. Their plan is cruci- form, but only in a few cases has the nave been actually erected. In 1466, St Giles', the parish church of Edinburgh, was erected into a Collegiate church by King James III. For a Provost, sixteen prebendaries, and other officials, who were endowed with the revenues of its chaplainries and altars, said to have numbered about forty.
