Dates: Institutional body established in the post-Dissolution cathedral foundation under Henry VIII

The Dean and Chapter became the corporate governing body of Canterbury Cathedral after the Dissolution and received former Christ Church Priory estates, including Agney according to Hasted.
Notes / Sources
The Dean and Chapter are the recorded inheritors of the manor; later leases did not necessarily displace this freehold.
