CLYFFE PYPAED, BUPTON. 



Early in the seventeenth century the family of Benet (of 

 Salthrop) began to buy land in North Wilts, and by the end of the 

 century had acquired a considerable quantity of acres there, and 

 a very considerable quantity of deeds relating to them. It was 

 then determined that an " abstract " of these deeds should be 

 prepared, which was done accordingly, with a " schedule," or still 

 briefer account of their contents, appended by way of index. A 

 certain number of the deeds themselves, part of the " abstract," 

 and the whole of the " schedule " have come into the Society's 

 possession by the gift of Mr. Eichard Mullings. 



The property for which the " schedule " only exists was situate 

 at Bupton, in the parish of Clyffe Pypard. By reason of its brevity 

 the " schedule " is not a very satisfying substitute for the deeds, 

 which the compiler moreover was not competent.as he very frankly 

 confesses, to decipher. It is offered, accordingly, " with all faults," 

 and so taken may prove invaluable to the fortunate possessor of 

 additional facts. 



A Schedule of the several Deeds and Writings mencioned in the 

 Abstract hereunto annexed
