founded by him at Heytesbury. The priory itself, as a college for 
brethren, seems to have become gradually extinct, for in the first 
year of Edward VI. there was but one individual left to represent 
it, and he was not a priest, but some young person to whom the 
income was given as an exhibition, “to find him in school.” The 
lands and tenements were sold to one Rundall.’ 
Some further particulars relating to Calne Church will be found 
in the Appendix to this paper, No II. 
StuDLEY CHAPEL. 
A chapel at Studley is mentioned in records at Salisbury of the 
year 1240. [Jones’s Fasti, page 344.] 
TREASURER AND PATRON. 
Of the Treasurers in Salisbury Cathedral, for so many years 
patrons of the vicarage of Calne, a complete list, from A.D. 1108 to 
the present time is printed in the late Canon Rich Jones’s work called 
‘ Fasti Ecclesie Sarisburiensis,” p. 848. But their history belongs 
rather to Salisbury than to Calne: for with the exception of Edmund 
Rich none of them appears to have taken any active part in parish 
administration. Edmund Rich was a native of Abingdon: remarkable 
for learning and practical piety, who studied at Oxford and Paris, and 
(according to Anthony & Wood and Alban Butler) was one of the first 
who taught Aristotle’s philosophy at Oxford, from 1219 to 1226. 
Not satisfied with the fixed duties of a Fellowship he made constant 
tours through the neighbouring counties “ preaching the Word of 
God with great fruit and zeal”? Having refused many preferments 
in the Church he at last accepted the office of a Canon and Treasurer 
of the Cathedral of Salisbury, to which diocese Abingdon then 
1 §t. Edmund’s Chapel, on the north side of the Church, somehow or other had 
obtained the vulgar name of the Horse-market. In the old council Book of the 
corporation there is an item: “in the year 1651 for carrying of strawe to the 
: Church xviij?.” It is possible that this litter may have been supplied at the 
public expense for Cromwell’s troopers, who are traditionally said to have been 
stabled in the Church. Their (non-ecclesiastical) stalls may have been in this 
chapel, which may thus have obtained the name of Horse-market.
