2. Tue Hosprran or St. Tuomas or CanTernury, for a master 
and sick brethren, was founded in Hen. III. and annexed to 
St. Margaret’s Priory. 
3. Tue Hosrirat or St. Joun THE Baptist, for brethren and 
sisters, built before 16 John: had lands in Kennet. A chapel 
in the hospital is mentioned in Valor Eccles., p. 147. 
4. Wurre Friers: on south side of the street, founded, 1316, 
by two merchants, John Goodwin and William Remesbech. 
Sr. Marrin’s Cuvurcn, or Chapel. Leland names a “Chappel of 
St. Martyne at the Entre at the est ende of the Towne.” The 
Chantry Commissioners, 2 Edw. VL., mention “the parisshe

founded an obit within it. The church is not mentioned in 
the Valor Eccles., nor other Eccles. Taxations, nor in the

Martin’s Street to the boundary of the parish, the church is

century.

Also “ to erect in the Queen’s Chapel there (was this a second ?) 
a crucifix with Mary and John, and the Virgin Mary with her

with entering Marlborough Castle by force, and taking thence, 
among other goods of Hugh le Despencer, “crosses of gold, 
ebony, ivory, and other ornaments belonging to the chapel, 
cloth of gold, tapestry, coverlids, priest’s wardrobe, &c.” 
(Ditto p. 59.) The Norman font of this chapel, used in Royal 
Christenings, is supposed to be now in Preshute Church, and
