 The following list is extracted from Sir Thomas Phillips'

 where otherwise stated, the patronage was exercised by the Abbess 

 of St. Mary, Winchester. After 1734, the institution was to the 

 Rectory of All Cannings with the chapel of Etchilhampton.

 • Sir Thomas Phillips gives, between 1492 a^^d 1512, three other names, but, for reasons -n-hich will
