: The Society's MSS. 
Chisledon. 
(Continued.) 
INCE the appearance of the last instalment of these notes, 
the Society’s collection has been further enriched by a 
packet of original deeds, one of them of great length and extra- 
ordinary interest, relating to Draycot. Leaving these deeds for 
the present aside, the following documents, set out and numbered — 
in order of date, represent—with the exception of a mass of notes 
illustrative of the history of families resident in the parish—the 
whole of the remaining material in the Society’s possession relating 
to Chisledon. All of it, we may again remind the Society, has been 
at various dates, presented by Mr. John Mullings, of Cirencester. 
The first document, presented too late for its insertion in its. 
proper place, is a copy (ancient) of the Particulars of the Grant 
made to Sir John Brydges out of the Court of Augmentations of 
the manors of Chisledon and Burderop, and of what is here described 
as the “Grangia Decimalis”’ of Monkebaron. Similarly, in his will 
dated 1 June, 1638, William Applegarth, gent., bequeaths his 
“Rectory or Decimall Graunge of Ropley, co. Southampton.” Of 
the precise meaning of the description we are ignorant. The copy 
does not appear to be wholly satisfactory, but is, we trust, correctly 
‘extended ”’ as follows :—
