Lay impropriators
Lay impropriators, lay persons to whose use ecclesiastical benefices have been annexed. At the dissolution of the monasteries by stat. 27 Hen. 8, c. 28, and 31 Hen. 8, c. 13, the appropriations of the several parsonages which belonged to them were given to the king. The same had been done in former reigns when the alien priories were dissolved and given to the Crown.
