eases. ~——Chivers, Esq., of this parish, foreseeing the fall of it if 
not prevented, and the great charge they must be at by it, brought 
down Mr. Inigo Jones, to survey it.) This was about 1639 or 
1640. He gave him 30/1 out of his own pocket for his paines. 
Mr. Jones would have underbuilt it for an 10077. About 1645 it 
fell down on a Saturday, and also broke down the chancell. The 
parish have since been at 1000/i charge to make a new heavy tower.” 
Aubrey calls the one that fell a steeple, leaving it uncertain whether 
it was a square tower, or a spire. 
Some part of the Church was anciently claimed for right of burial 
by the owners of Whetham, for in 1575 Roger Fynamore, then 
owner, was buried in “ Fynamore’s Aisle ” at Calne. 
St. Anprew’s CHAPEL. 
In the register of Stanley Abbey mention is made of an agreement 
between an inhabitant of Calne and the abbey about a house situated 
on the north side of the ‘ Chapel of St. Andrew.” If this chapel 
was inside the Church the house may have been against the wall of 
it. But if a separate building I know nothing of its history. 
Cuantry CHAPELS. 
Within the Church were two chantry chapels known to have been 
endowed ; both founded in the reign of Henry VI. by the family of 
St. Lo, owners of property at Westbury and Cheverell in Wilts, and 
of Newton St. Lo in Somerset. The name does not occur among 
the Members of Parliament for Calne, nor have I any evidence to 
explain their connection with the place. 
One of these chantries was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. 
Walter Smallden was presented to it in 1537 by the Bishop of Sarum 
per lapsum. The lands belonging to it were parcels of large un- 
enclosed tracts about the town, then called “Calne Fields.” This 
property in the year 1600 had come into the possession of the Seager 
1The idea (printed in some descriptions of the Church) that Inigo Jones 
took a special interest in the matter, because he was a Wiltshireman, is ground- 
less. He was born in the parish of St. Bartholomew the Less, West Smithfield, 
London, in 1578.
