"Whereas at certain extremities of the said parish of Frant, and of the new parish of Eridge Green, in the county and diocese aforesaid, which lie contiguous one to another, and are described in the schedule hereunder written, there is collected together a population which is situate at a distance from the several churches of such parish and new parish respectively.

"And whereas it appears to us to be expedient that such contiguous portions of the said parish of Frant, and of the said new parish of Eridge Green, should be formed into a consolidated chapelry, for all ecclesiastical purposes, and that the same should be assigned to the said church of Saint Mark, situate at Broadwater aforesaid.

"Now, therefore, with the consents of the Right Reverend Ashhurst Turner, Bishop of the said diocese of Chichester, and of the Right Honourable and Reverend William, Earl of Abergavenny, the patron both of the vicarage of the said parish of Frant and of the perpetual curacy of the said new parish of Eridge Green (in testimony whereof they have respectively signed and sealed this representation), we humbly represent that it would, in our opinion, be expedient that all those contiguous portions of the said parish of Frant, and of the said new parish of Eridge Green, which are described in the schedule hereunder written, all which portions, together with the boundaries thereof, are delineated and set forth on the map or plan hereunto annexed, should be united and formed into one consolidated chapelry for the said church of Saint Mark, situate at Broadwater aforesaid, and that the same should be named 'The Consolidated Chapelry of Saint Mark, Broadwater,' and that the right of presentation and appointment to the church of such consolidated chapelry should belong to and be exercised by the said William, Earl of Abergavenny, and by his heirs and assigns for ever.

"We, therefore, humbly pray that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to take the premises into your Royal consideration, and to make such Order in respect thereto as to your Majesty, in your Royal wisdom, shall seem meet.
