By W. D. Fane. 



HE two following deeds, relative to the Bradburne 

 chantry, founded by John Bradburne, of Hough 

 (Holland), in 1483, within the church of St. Oswald, 

 Ashbourn,* I have transcribed litteratim from the originals in 

 Lord Cowper's muniment room at Melbourn Hall. It seems 

 that perpetual chaplains and their patrons began to make away 

 with chantry property as early as 27 Henry VIII.
