Leland’s Journey through Wiltshire. 169 
May 18. Berbertus de Percy gave the prebend of Cerdestoke! to 
the church of Sarum. 
33 Henry Cessun,? Canon of Sarum, obtained the removal of 
the church of Sarum. 
mf Robert ‘“Cementarius,”? Superintendent (“revit”) for 
25 years. 
3 Alice Bruert gave all the marble’ to this church for 12 
years. 
Sept. 20. Walter Scammel, Treasurer, Dean, and afterwards 
Bishop of Sarum (d. 1286). 
ft Walter de la Wyle, Bishop of Sarum, who founded the 
Collegiate Church of S. Edmund, and was buried in

$5 The new Church of Sarum was dedicated a.p. 1258 by 
Boniface Archbishop of Canterbury, in the presence 
of the King and Queen, in the time of Bishop Giles. 
Oct. 11. Robert Wyville Bishop of 8. (d. 1375). 
1 Chardstoke, county Dorset, which continues to be a prebend of Sarum. In 
Itin. vol. rv. 177, Leland calls this benefactor Gilbert de Percy, and so does the 
charter of Hen. II. (Mon. No. V.): Hutchins (Dors. 1. 259) calls him ‘‘ Berbertus, 
Berberus, or Gilbert.” In the great Perey pedigree there is no Gilbert. The person 
meant by Berbertus is most probably Godfrey Duke of Brabant and Count of 
Lovaine, surnamed Barbatus, who died 1140. His son J ocelyn de Lovaine 
married Agnes de Percy the great heiress, and adopted the family name: which 
may in this instance have been given ‘‘ex post facto” to the father. 
2 “Cessun,” called Henry de Teissun in Wanda’s list. 
3 “ Cementarius;” literally, the ‘* Mortar-man.” Perhaps it means the head 
contractor for the works ; (‘‘ cementa demittit redemptor.” Hor.) 
4“ Bruer.” Briwere (‘at the Heath’) or Brewer, was the name of a very 
important baronial family in Devon, Wilts, and Somerset : in the reigns of John, 
Rich. 1., and H. 1, William Brewer was governor of Devizes Castle: and 
had land at Norrington and elsewhere in Wilts. He died 1232, without issue 
male, leaving 4 coheiresses, one of whom, Alice, married Sir Reginald de 
Mohun. 
5 “ Marmor ;” probably means stone of every kind ; thoughif it meant literally 
marble only, it would have been no inconsiderable gift, Purbeck marble being 
the material of the greater part of the pillars and shafts.
