Richard Jenyn, Prior 26 Hen. VIII., conveying lands to the 
Hungerford family. The legend is S. Ricarp1 Prioris DE 
M. B.; and the arms, those of the Biset family: 10 Bezants, 
4, 3,2, and 1. The family of Husee of Holbrook, co. Somer- 
set, had a chantry in Maiden Bradley Priory, 34 Edw. III. 
Matmessury. The fine church belonging to the monastery, was 
partly destroyed at the Reformation. The greater part of the 
nave was preserved: and by license of Archbishop Cranmer, 
20th August, 1541, was converted into a parish church, and 
continues to be so used. [See Wilts Arch. Mag. i., 249.] 
St. Paul’s church. This was the old parish church in the 
time of the monastery. It had become dilapidated: the body 
of it was finally taken down a few years ago. 
In and about the town, we have notices, more or less satis- 
factory, of seven or eight chapels. In the notes to Wiltshire 
Collections, p. 261, the names of these given. In plate xxiv. 
of the same volume, their supposed sites are marked on a plan 
of the town; and in plate xxvi. views of two, from drawings 
made before they were destroyed. 
- 1. Burnzvate Chapel: dedicated to our Lady. This was for 
many years used as a poor house, and was taken down not 
very long ago, It belonged tothe Abbey. Wilts Collections, 
plate xxvi. 
2. Burton Hitt Chapel: taken down some years ago. [See 
plate xxvi. ditto. ] 
_ 8. Sr. Joun’s, near the Bridge: part of a Hospital of St. John: 
the front is still standing. 
4. Sr. MicHaEt’s: is named in documents, but whether it stood 
apart, on the site of the Abbey House, or was attached to the 
Abbey Church, is doubtful. 
5. Wuritcuurcu: about one mile from Malmesbury, on the way 
to Charlton: a chapel dedicated to St. James. [Valor Eccles., 
Malmesbury Abbey, p. 119.] 
_ 6. Sr. Heten’s. At the corner of formerly Milk Street. 
7. Wesreort. The original church here was called St. Mary’s 
Chantry.
