356 Inventories of Church Goods, and Chantries of Wilts. 



VI., are of primary interest ; and a few dedications of churches 

 and low altars are also given in these documents. The private 

 masses were said by the chaplains (cantaristso) or chantry priests, 

 at a low altar with only a serving boy, and perhaps some relations 

 of the departed ; but on the anniversary numbers attended to 

 receive the dole then given, and so if the chapels were too small, 

 then at the high altar with leave of the parish priest ; the mass of 

 requiem was sung in the forenoon, and in the afternoon a dirige. 

 The commemorations were called week's mind, month's mind, and 

 year's mind. These chaplains held lands in free alms and freehold, 

 and were instituted and inducted. It will be observed that at the 

 time of the last Survej% many names of the founders of obits and 

 donors of lands had died out of memory. I have not added 

 archaeological annotations as they would have been simply cuttings 

 from my " Sacred Archaeology."
