was turned into a pigeon-house. 
Sranpen Norru, near Froxfield; but in the parish of Hungerford. 
Formerly called Standen Chaworth. It was granted to the 
Protector Duke of Somerset, and by him, probably, sold to 
Sir Anthony Hungerford of Down Amney. It was worth 
88s. 8d. a year, and the last incumbent, 1. Edw. VI., was 
Edward Hungerford, aged 30 years. No presentation in the 
Wilts Institutions. 
Sranptyncu. Parish of Downton. Near the river and site of 
the former mansion-house, is a small chapel with the date of 
A.D., 1147 upon it: supposed by Mr. Matcham to have been 
originally an oratory of the family of Le Dune, ancient lords

burial ground, it was probably used as a parochial chapel. It 
is now used for service when Earl Nelson’s family are in 
residence at the manor House. Of endowment or institution 
of chaplains, there is no record. [See Matcham’s History of 
Downton, p. 49.] 
Srantey Appey. Near Chippenham. A house of 138 Cistercians,

called sometimes from its foundress, the Empress Maud, 
“Stanley Imperatricis.” The Railway from Chippenham to 
Calne, passes nearly over the site. There is no vestige of the 
monastery or church, except a few inequalities in the ground. 
In Bowles’s History of Bremhill, p. 83, is some account of this 
establishment. See also Wilts Arch. Mag., index. It was 
granted to the Bayntons of Bromham. A few coins have 
been found. The site now belongs to G. Goldney, Esq., M.P. 
for Chippenham. 
StezpLte Asuton, (Whorwellsdown Hundred.) The west end of 
the south aisle is commonly called Beach’s Chapel, from a 
family at West Ashton, but by what right they bestowed 
their name upon it, does not appear. The north aisle was 
built by the Longs, the south by Walter Lucas, and the whole
