 brother and heir of Sir Roger Husee, Kt.'

 M.). 



1361. Bishop Edingdon is nominated by the King guardian of 

 Joan, eo-heiress of John Pavely, lord of the manor of Westbury 

 and of the hamlet of Hefding hill (Bratton).- She afterwards 

 married Sir Ralph Cheney, whose name is given to the mortuary 

 chapel now standing between the nave and south aisle of Edingdon 

 Church. 



A license from the Crown, dated Westminster, 6th May, was 

 granted to enable the monastery to conduct water to the Prior's 

 house from a rivulet in the middle of Edingdon village. The same

^ About a quarter-of-a-mile from the site of the Priory, and about one hundred 

 yards to the right of the road leading from Edington to Bratton, four springs 

 burst from the hill-side. From the largest is supplied a copious stream that 

 flows through the premises formerly of the Priory, and thence to join other streams 

 tributaiy to the Avon. Over the southernmost spring a stone fountain-cell (still 

 standing) was built, in the strong and finished style of William of Edyndon. 

 The roof is of stone supported by two pointed arches. The conduit-drain, which 

 had an arched roof, was destroyed some years ago, and the leaden pipes stolen 

 and sold.
