Wilts Obituary. 243 
description of the Hundred of Branch & Dole. Leland also con- 
founds Ellandune with Wilton . . . ” 
I am much obliged to the Rev. C. Taylor for his permission to 
make use of this valuable information. 
The special points to notice are, first, the reference to Sir R. C.

is not mentioned in the Wilton Chartulary; 3rd, that it was a 
certain H. Crumpe, an Irishman who lived in the reign of Richard 
—IL., who confused the two places; 4th, that Leland fell into the 
same error. 
This information finally disposes of the difficulty of trying to 
account for two places of the same name; and confirms the view 
put forward in Wilts Notes and Queries for September, 1900, that 
Ellandune is the modern Wroughton, still called in ecclesiastical 
_ registers “‘ Ellingdon.”’

and Lt.-Col. of the Wilts Yeomanry, but he shone less in public life and 
county business than in his own home and on his own estates. It was 
as a considerate and kind-hearted landlord that he rendered himself so 
esteemed by all classes. He had lived thirty years at Grittleton, and his
