Ruptow, (parish of Box.) At Rudlow Firs, on the top of a hill 
on the high road from Bath to Corsham, about seven miles 
from Bath, there is at the entrance of Hartham Park, a park 
lodge, which I have been told by villagers on the spot, was 
made up about 1820, out of a “chapel” that once belonged to 
some manor house at Rudlow. But no authentic record of 
any such “chapel ” has ever been met with. 
Sr. Mary pz Rurz. Mr. Britton in his Beauties of Wilts, vol. iii., 
p. 382, gives from Stow a Cluniac monastery of this title as 
in Wilts. The great Cistercian Abbey of St. Mary de Rupe, 
or Roche, was in Yorkshire. Nothing has been met with 
about any house of this name in Wilts. 
Sarum, Otp. The following titles and descriptions are met with, 
of ecclesiastical buildings, in or attached to the fortress, at 
various times. 
A.D. 720, church of St. James. Named in a charter of 
King Ina. [Letwych’s Antigq. Sarisb. p. 11.] 
Chapel of the Virgin Mary: “long maintained in some part 
of the fortress, and apparently of older foundation than Bishop 
Osmund’s Cathedral there.” [Hatcher’s Salisbury, p. 709.] 
Price quotes a charter of Ethelburga, Queen of Ina, granting 
lands to “‘the Nuns of St. Mary in Sarisbyrig;” and another 
of Editha, widow of King Edward, to the “Canons of St. 
Mary in Sarum.” [Account of old Sarum, p. 42. ] 
A.D. 1092. The Cathedral of Old Sarum, confiscated by 
Bishop Osmund: of which “Our Lady’s Chapel” was still 
standing and maintained at Leland’s visit, c. 1540. 
Church of the Holy Rood: called in the reign of Edw. Il. 
“the Chapel of the Holy Cross.” [Hatcher, p. 741.] 
“Parish Church” of St. Peter. Several Incumbents are 
named in the Wilts Institutions from 1298 to 1412. [Hatcher, 
p- 709.] Perhaps this was the “other church” of which 
Leland saw ‘some token visible near the east gate,” in 1540. A 
charter about the Rector’s privileges is given in Hatcher, p.741.
