A quick definition of vicarial tithe:

Vicarial tithe is a small amount of money or goods that a person pays to a vicar, who is a religious leader, as a form of donation or obligation. It is usually a tenth of a person's income or produce, and it is considered a way to support the church and its activities. Vicarial tithe is different from other types of tithes, such as predial tithe, which is a tithe of crops, and personal tithe, which is a tithe of profits from manual occupations or trades.

A more thorough explanation:

Vicarial tithe is a type of tithe, which is a religious or charitable gift or obligation. It is a small tax or assessment, usually in the amount of one-tenth, payable to a vicar.

  • Great tithe: A tithe paid in kind and considered more valuable than other tithes. It often consisted of crops like corn, peas, beans, hay, and wood.
  • Mixed tithe: A tithe consisting of a natural product, such as milk or wool, obtained or cultivated by human effort.
  • Personal tithe: A tithe of profits from manual occupations or trades.
  • Predial tithe: A tithe of crops, such as corn.

These examples illustrate the different types of tithes that exist. Vicarial tithe is a small tithe payable to a vicar, which is a person who performs necessary ecclesiastical duties for a monastery or church. It is important to note that tithes were historically a right of a rector or a monastery, but on the dissolution of the monasteries, many rectories passed into the royal hands and were granted to laymen, resulting in the right to tithes passing into lay hands.
