188 The History of the Parish of All Cannings. 



Curates of Etchilhampton. 



The following is, as far as can be ascertained, a list of the various 

 Curates of Etchilhampton uot mentioned as attached to All Can- 

 nings. For a list of others who have been assistant Curates, the 

 reader is referred to a previous page (p. 26). 



The Church-yard and Glebe. 

 The Church-yard is surrounded by a hawthorn hedge, and has 

 only one entrance path leading to the south porch of the Church. 

 A peculiar feature in the Church-j'ard is the number of old single 

 stone memorials, — we might almost call them sarcophagi; there are 

 as many as eighteen, several of which are some centuries old. There 

 is nothing of the sort in the Church-yard of All Cannings. The 

 glebe land amounts to four acres. There is no glebe-house. The 

 Tithe Commutation Rent Charge is £316 5s. 



Church Terrier. 



There is, in the Diocesan Registry, an old Terrier without date, 

 which is headed " A true note of all the groundes belonging to the 

 parsonage" of Echilhampton. The document is signed with "the 

 marks of two persons, whose names, as far as we can interpret the 

 hand- writing of the scribe, seem to be, William Punck, and William 

 Fankins, as " Churchwardens," — and of John Woodhouse and 

 William Lawrence, as " Questmen." None of these names can now 

 be traced in any existing registers. A conjecture may perhaps be 

 offered, that this Terrier is of the same date as the earliest of those 

 for All Cannings, viz., 1608. (See above, ^:). 29.) 



The Terrier recites amongst the glebe lands and buildings ; — (1) 

 " A dwelling house which now is made a barne, and a close adjoyning 

 unto it contayning by estimacon, half an acre or neere thereabouts;" 

 — (2), "A meadow by Shortlands joy ning to Woodrofe's meadow
