is described as tithes on “ Barley’s and Hussey’s lands.” 
There used to be anciently a place in Wraxhall parish, called 
“ Berley’s or Barley’s Court,”’ which belonged to the Hussey 
family 1476, who succeeded to it by marriage with an heiress 
of Blount of Cumberwell, Shockerwick and Bitton. Thomas 
Blunt, who died 1447, had married the daughter and heiress 
of Thomas Berlegh. The family of Berlegh had lands at 
Bath Hampton, also about Bradford and Cumberwell, &c. As 
Berlegh’s Court in Wraxhall provided part of the maintenance 
of St. Audoen’s Chapel, and the first chaplain on record pre- 
sented by the Prior of Monkton Farley in 1323, bore the 
name of Reginald de Ber/ee, there is just room for the sugges- 
tion, that perhaps St. Andoen’s may have been one and the 
same as “‘ Berlegh Chapel,” the locality of which has long 
perplexed Wiltshire topographers. [See Berlegh above: and 
Wiltshire Collections, p. 26.] 
On the south side of the parish church is Long’s Chapel, 
which from having over the door, on the outside, the date of — 
1566, is said to have been built by Sir Robert Long, In the 
interior, on each side of the east window, is a niche, and on 
the right hand a piscina. This as Mr. Britton observes 
[Beauties of Wilts, iii., 225] isa remarkable circumstance 
if the chapel was altogether new after the Reformation. 
There is no mention of any endowment. 
Yatron Krynes, or West. (Hundred of Chippenham.) This is 
a hamlet in Yatton Keynell. John Aubrey, born within 2 
miles of the place, is our only authority for a chapel here. | 
“‘ Almost at the lower end of the conigere was the ruines of a 
chapel tillabout 165—. I think there wasa Hermitage by it.” 
But no allusion to any chapel here has been met with in any 
diocesan or public records. [See Wiltshire Collections, p. 123.]

Zua’s, a tything of Mere. (Hundred of Mere.) There was at 
Zeal’s a chapel dedicated to St. Martin, [Sir R. C. Hoare, 
Mere, p. 13] with a chaplain. Bishop Osmund’s Register, 
Sarum, says that service was due there three times a week.
