By the Rev. H. H. Goddard, 331 
handed over the seven-and-sixpenny cup to the churchwarden to 
take care of it, and it was put away until a couple of months ago, 
when the enquiries of the present Vicar, the Rev. 8. J. Crawhall, 
brought it to light—and it has now been carefully repaired 
and restored to its sacred use. It is an interesting Elizabethan 
chalice 6$in. in height, with paten cover of the usual type. There 
are two bands of ornament round the bowl—the upper of strap-work 
enclosing foliage of the usual kind, the lower a narrower band of 
the intermittent line ornament. The stem is somewhat thick, and 
the knot is little more than a band. There is a band of strap-work 
and foliage round the base, and round the cover, and the latter has 
also round its rim a narrow band of etched zigzag ornament. Neither 
chalice nor cover bear any hall-marks or date. Under both pieces 
has now been inscribed “ St. Margaret’s Church, Stratton.” 
An Elizabethan paten cover bearing the hall-mark of 1576 and a 
band of strap-work decoration, which belonged to the late Rt. Hon, 
E. P. Bouverie, was lately (June 1892) sold at Christie’s; as to 
which Mr. Medlicott tells me there is a tradition that “ it was found 
in a wall at Potterne,” but it seems doubtful whether the tradition 
rests on any sound foundation.
