the Church of Hinton and all the profits and incomes of the same for a pure and 

 perpetual alms to be enjoyed freely and quietly from all secular exactions & de- 

 mands & I and my heirs will warrant it for ever. 



[In about 1257.] " William de Cahia son of Reginald de Calna Knight hath 

 given to God the Blessed Virgin and the Hospital of Saint Nicholas 2 acres of 

 arable land in the territory of Hinton for a pure and perpetual alms and also one 

 messuage with a Back side in the village of Hinton to be as peaceably enjoyed as 

 any alms can be for which grants Giles Bishop of Sarum hath granted to the 

 said William liberty to build a Chapel in his Court where himself children and 

 family may have Divine Service. 



" In about 1248 William Bishop of Sarum did appropriate the Church of Broad 

 Hinton to the Hospital of St. Nich : but deferring what he would after order for 

 the Vicar which was done by Giles Bishop of Sarum in 1258 and confirmed by

 served and was afterwards ordained by Bishop Nicholas in 1295 at Pottem.

In more modern times we have an interesting deed of conveyance 

 by several of the trustees appointed by the Commonwealth Parlia- 

 ment for the sale of the estates and property belonging to the Dean 

 and Chapter of the Cathedral of Salisbury. The property conveyed 

 consisted o£ a messuage and about sixty-four acres of land at Uffcott, 

 which the Chapter had granted by a lease dated 25th April, 13th 

 Charles I., to Richard Weare, otherwise Browne, of Wroughton, for 

 the lives of himself and his sons Thomas and James : this property 

 is now in the possession of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who 

 obtained the estates from the Dean and Chapter, to whom they had 

 been restored, by a commutation effected in the year 1860, under 

 the provisions of an order of the Queen in Council. At that time 

 this land at Uffcott was held under a beneficial lease, granted by 

 the Chapter in the year 1856 to John Washbourne Brown, yeoman, 

 of Uffcott, and Lovegrove Waldron, of Eastridge, in the parish of 

 Ramsbury. The expiration of the leasehold brought the property 

 into the possession of the Commissioners in the year 1877.
