. Matcham refers [Frustfield, p. 75] under “ Cowsfield Spilman.” 
“A chapel, possibly independent of that before mentioned in 
Cowsfield Loveries, was formerly attached to this manor, of 
which the lords had the presentation. Gilbert and John de 
Testwood presented in 1335: but I suspect that after the 
purchase of lands by the family of Esturmy it was known by 
their patronymick. I believe no vestige or knowledge of it 
remains.” 
Wuirtecu. In 18 Edw. II. (1324), John Mauduit of Somerford 
(in Malmsbury Hundred), had the manor of Whitlegh, and 
advowson of the chapel there. In 34 Edw. III. (1860), they 
belonged to Thomas Bradeston, Kt. The local name of Whit-

meant was perhaps the hamlet so called, near Melksham,

throw light upon its history. Woodhill manor belonged in 
very ancient times to the Besills: then to Aylmer 1361, to 
Delawarr 1370, to St. Omer 1404. 
Witton, (Branch and Dole Hundred). Leland’s statement that 
Wilton once possessed twelve churches, has been sustained by 
the researches of Sir R. C. Hoare who supplies the following 
list. [Branch and Dole, p. 75.] 
1. St. Epirs. Conventual Church of Wilton Abbey; on the 
site of (now) Wilton House. In 1383, there were nine chap- 
lains in the service of the monastery. In 1534 [Valor Eccles. ] 
the number was three: viz., the Deacon, the Epistolar, and 
the Chaplain of the chantry. The latter was probably the
