I Sir William Burrell, in his Manuscript Collections for Sussex, says the Parish of Battle, before the Conquest, was called the Parish of S. Mary in the Wood; but William the Conqueror, when he built and endowed the Abbey, exempted that Parish from Episcopal jurisdiction, and made the Incumbent, afterwards called the Dean, receive institution and induction from the Abbot; by a composition between whom, and the Bishop of Chichester, the latter was to grant the Dean a licence to enter upon the cure of souls. This, he adds, is what Dean Watson alludes to, when, in his Complete Incumbent, he speaks of the Dean of Battle. Donat. Ms. Brit. Mus. 5679, p. 67.
