Inferences from the above schedule are necessarily brittle and 

 require tender handling. There is, to begin with, the strange 

 mention, in No. 7, of " the mannor of Bobbeton which he had in 

 Fisherton." There is, as a matter of fact, in the parish of Fisherton 

 Delamere, a tything of Bapton. Fisherton Delamere is, or was, in 

 the hundred of Warminster, though, as stated in a note in the 

 Population Abstract of 1831, "The parishes of Fisherton-de-la- 

 Mere with Bapton, Upper Pertwood, and Teffont Magna, are three 

 distinct portions of "Warminster Hundred, locally situate in different 

 parts of Dunworth Hundred." In the Gazetteers Fisherton Dela- 

 mere is said to be " 8 miles N.W. of Wilton." Dinton, also in 

 Warminster Hundred, is described as " 5 miles W. of Wilton." 

 Aware of the proximity of Fisherton to Dinton, a recent writer 

 makes a point of it, in commenting on the marriage of " Thomas 

 Ludlow, of Dinton," with " Jane daughter of Thomas and sister 

 of Sir Gabriel Pyle, knight, of Bapton, in the neighbouring parish 

 of Fisherton Delamere." ^ Such a match there was. The lady is 

 mentioned in the pedigree of Pile, entered at the Visitation of 

 Wilts in 1623, as sister of Sir Gabriel, and described as " Jana uxor 

 Tho. Ludlow of juxta Warminster in Wilts." Further, in the 

 entry of the admission of Sir Gabriel's son to the Middle Temple,
