Jan^." In 1686, some collections were made "for the French. 

 Protestants," and some " for the poor captives beyond the seas," 

 possibly Christian captives in Algeria. 



Schools and Charitable Institution. 



There is a Dame School in the village which is free, and uncon- 

 nected with any public society. It is maintained chiefly by the 

 Rector, aided with the subscriptions of a few of the parishioners. 

 An adult night school is commonly held during the winter months. 

 It has been established for some years, and been attended with 

 good effect. 



There are two small parish charities, one founded by Messrs. 

 Dorchester, in 1730, and consisting of a principal sum of £20 2s. 

 the interest to be given from time to time amongst the poor not 

 receiving parish relief; — the other, the gift of Edward Bayley in 

 1814, consisting of £63 in the new Z\ per cent, stocks, to be dis- 

 tributed annually to the poor at the discretion of the Church- 

 wardens and Overseers. 



Old Families. 

 In the Herald's Visitations for Wilts, we have three families 

 named as belonging to Etchilhampton, those of Malwyn, — Bayley, 

 — and Goddard.^ Of the first we have already made some mention ; 

 through them it was that the Ernie family, who belonged originally 

 to Sussex, first became possessed of property here. Of the other two 

 families we know but little ; they were, in two successive genera- 

 tions, connected closely by marriage, father and son in each case 

 marrying sisters, the daughters respectively of Ambrose Dauntsey
