By the Rev. J. E. Jackson. 291 
chapel of perpendicular date on the south side of the chancel, 
has marks of chapel service, a step to the altar, a piscina, and 
a niche for a figure or lamp: but there is no record of endow- 
ment. It has been used for burial, first by the Auncell, and 
since by the Beckett families of Littleton, in this parish. 
(Kite’s Wilts Brasses, p. 54.) 
The “ Dauntesey Chapel,” is a small late perpendicular 
addition to the south side of West Lavington Church: the 
burial place, after 1571, of the Dauntesey family, formerly 
owners in this parish, of the estate afterwards belonging 
successively tothe Danvers family, the Earl of Abingdon, and 
now Lord Churchill. There is no record of any endowment, 
nor any indication that it was ever used for celebration of 
religious services. 
LirrtEcorz, near Hungerford, (Hundred of Ramsbury). Ecton 
mentions “ Littlecote, a chapel to Chilton Foliot, destroyed. 
‘“‘ Formerly appropriated to the Prior of Bradenstoke.”’ In this 
there is perhaps an error. In the Charters of Bradenstoke 
Priory | New Monast. No. 2], a William de Lytelcote is indeed 
named as having given to that house certain lands, but 
they are described as “‘ adjacent to the land of Bradenstoke.” 
This must therefore have been not Littlecote in Chilton, but 
the farm still called Littlecote near Lyneham: “ Lyneham 
cum Lytelcote” being named in the Valor Eccles., among the 
possessions of Bradenstoke Priory. 
As to Littlecote chapel, in Chilton: there is in the Wilts 
Institutions one presentation to it, in A.D. 13844: but two 
patrons are named, Isabella de Hautford, (which is probably 
an error for Hankford) and Robert Hungerford, Kt. The 
name of the latter being printed in italics, as if doubtfully, 
the connexion of the Hungerfords with Littlecote or its chapel 
becomes obscure. But the chapel is mentioned at a later 
period. Sir Edward Darell, by will 1528, bequeaths “to his 
cousyn and heir apparent”? Edward Darell, “all stuff, orna- 
ments, vestments, and juells belonging, and now occupied and 
used, and also belonging unto my Chappell at Littlecot.”
