282 Ancient Chapels, &c., in Co. Wilts. 
FisHerton DetamerEe. (Of the Hundred of Warminster: but 
for Sir R. OC. Hoare’s account of it, see his Heytesbury.) A 
chantry of the Delamere family in the church was endowed 
with £6 3s. 4d. a year arising out of Fisherton : which rent 
‘was granted in 8 Eliz. to William, Marquis of Winchester. 
The chantry was on the north side of the church. 
Firrteton, (Elstub and Everley Hundred.) Free Chapel of 
Fittleton, clear value £3 5s. John Blythe, Incumbent, aged 
56 years. (1 Edw. VI., 1547.) 
Fontuitt Apsey. This name is merely introduced for the purpose 
of saying that there was never any ancient endowed abbey, or 
other kind of religious house at Fonthill Gifford. 
Fovant, (Hundred of Cawden,) South of the chancel is a chantry 
chapel: of which nothing appears to be known. [Modern 
Wilts, Dunworth and Cawden, p. 77. ] 
Fucerrston. St. Giles’s Hospital, near Wilton. Some fragments 
of old masonry in the walls of a cottage on the right hand 
side of the road, mark the site of this ancient building. In 
387 Hen. VIII. 1545-6, there was a chapel covered with lead: 
and John Dowse, clerk, was Master. Its lands were worth 
£5 13s. 4d. a year. Four poor persons were relieved. The 
Crown Commissioners in 1 Edw. VI., mark in the margin of 
their Report, “‘ Thys to contynewe.” The particulars, and an 
engraving of the seal, are given in Branch and Dole, p. 130. 
Aubrey [Nat. Hist. of Wilts, p. 73], says “ there was this 
inscription over the chapel door. 1624. This hospitall of 
St. Giles was re-edified by John Towgood, Maior of Wilton, 
and his brethren, adopted patrons thereof, by the gift of Queen 
Adelicia, wife unto King Henry the First. This Adelicia was 
a Leper. She had a windowe and dore from her lodgeing into 
the chancell of the chapell, whence she heard prayer. She 
lieth buried under a plain marble gravestone: the brasse 
whereof (the figure and inscription) was remaining about 
1684. Poore people told me that the faire was anciently kept 
here.”
