In 1 Edw. VI. there was only one chantry priest, Robert 
Whittacre, aged 42 years. The Commissioners reported him 
as “a very honest pore man and well able to serve a cure, 
who hath allwaies kept a Free schole in Trobridge and yett 
doth for the inducement of children. There was no preeste 
beside the Vicar to helpe in admynistracion saving the said 
chantre preest: wherefore the inhabytants there desire the 
King’s most honourable counsell to consider them accordinglie.” 
The almshouse charity continued till 1777, when it was lost. 
The house being in ruins was taken down in 1811. [See 
Wilts Arch. Mag., i., 150, and x., 240.] 
Uravon. (Hundred of Swanborough), near Pewsey. Here was 
an alien Priory of Benedict Monks, being a cell, or house 
subordinate to St. Wandragesille’s Abbey at Fontanelle in the 
diocese of Rouen. How many brethren occupied the Upavon 
Cell, and whether they had any church or chapel of their own 
apart from the parish church, is not known. The property 
belonging to the cell was transferred, 1 Hen. VI. to the 
monastery of Ivy Church, near Salisbury. 
Upton Scupamore. This chantry appears to have been founded 
in the north aisle of Upton Church about 5 Edw. I., 1272-3, 
by Sir Peter Scudamore, who with his wife Margery, was 
buried in it. He endowed it with a house and forty acres of 
land: mass to be celebrated every day, and the house and 
chantry to be kept in repair. In 25 Edw. III. (1849), Sir 
Walter Scudamore granted to Robert de Bourguyn, chaplain, 
for daily mass in the same, a tenement called the “ Dryehay,” 
and 42 acres of land in Warminster: also feeding for 6 
beasts, 6 pigs and 60 sheep, going on the downs and fields, 
with certain rents of tenements. Mass, “per notam,” every 
Saturday. On Sunday, “De Trinitate;” Monday, “De Sto 
Spiritu ;” Friday, “Sancta cruce.” 
This chantry endowment does not appear in the list of con- 
fiscations, 1 Edw. VI. It had been previously disposed of. 
In 1442, Walter Lord Hungerford, K.G. obtained leave to 
unite it with another at Calne, and a chapel at Corton in
