A petition, [June] 1844, from the landowners, tithe payers and parishioners of the parish of Byshopston [Bishopston], Glamorgan, to [Edward Copleston], Bishop of Llandaff, asking him to intervene in their dispute with the Tithe Commissioners concerning a compulsory award of tithe rent charge in the parish, thought by the petitioners to be excessively high. The petition is signed by eleven parishioners.
The Bishop of Llandaff was the patron of the living of Bishopston and also held the ecclesiastical manor of Bishopston.
