By the Rev. W. H. Jones. 241 
and 1472, he was probably a resident at Bradford. Thus in the 
year 1461, “Master John Long” was presented to the rectory of 
Wendlebury, in Oxfordshire, per honestum virum Jacobum Tyrrym- 
ber alias nuncupatum Coker, de Bradeford in Com. Wilts.”! Andon 
the decease, in 1471, of the said John Long, one John Hall was 
presented by the same patron James Tyrrymber alias Coker, and 
was admitted to the rectory of Wendlebury, at London, on the 24th 
January, 1472. The names of these presentees would seem to 
connect them with those of Longof Wraxall, and Hall of Brad- 
ford; the head of each of these families being named among the 
Feoffees in whom Terumber vested his property, and also among 
the benefactors to the ‘‘ newe chirch” at Trowbridge. Before the 
next avoidance of the rectory of Wendlebury, the patronage had 
passed away from James Terumber; for in the year 1485 it was 
exercised by Humphrey Seymour, who is, it will be observed, one 
of the first-named of the Feoffees in Terumber’s deed. 
Of the various lands and tenements with which Terumber 
endowed the Chantry and the Alms-house, we havefull and detailed 
accounts among the deeds relating to the “sale of Chauntreys, 
Colleges, Free Chapels, &c.,” now deposited in the Record Office. 
They were situated at Trowbridge, Studley, and Broughton in 
Wilts, and at Beckington in Somerset. Some of the names of the 
places may perchance be recognized by residents in one or other 
of those places to the present day. Thus in Trowbridge, there 
were lands and tenements held at Holbroke’s Lane,—at Pinche- 
mede,—at Lowmede,—at Whitrowe,—and in Church-close. In 
High Street, one William Couper held a “ messuage and garden 
with a barne and stable adjoining, together with one other garden 
and little tenement on the north side of the church.” At Broughton, 
the property consisted of “a messuage called Darbyes,” with 20 
acres of land. At Beckington it is described as “a Tune? called 
the Hurle, with all the houses thereto belonging.” 
The gross rental of the several lands and tenements, was esti-

*This word, which is from the Anglo-Saxon Tin, signifies primarily an 
enclosure, and is the origin of our word Town, The expression “‘ tyning” is a 
common one in Wilts to denote an enclosed court yard, &e. They are all derived 
from the Anglo-Saxon verb Zynan, which means “to enclose” or ‘‘shut in.”
