BY THE REV. D. M. CLERK. 
HE small church which Iam about to introduce to 
the notice of the members of this society, is that of 
the parish of Lullington. It is situated in the county of 
Somerset, and diocese of Bath and Wells, in the arch- 
deaconry of Bath, and the deanery of Frome, from which 
latter place it is distant three miles, in a northerly direc- 
tion. The river Frome, waters the lower part of the 
parish. 
Lullington is mentioned in the Domesday Survey, 
under the name of “Loligtone,” and appears to have 
been granted by the Norman Invader, to the bishop of 
Coutances. It was held in the time of Edward the Con- 
fessor, by Earl Harold, and stated then to have been 
worth £4; but in the time of William the Conqueror, 
100 shillings. Afterwards the manor, with the advowson 
of the church, (held of the duke of Lancaster, as of the 
manor of Trowbridge,) was conferred on the priory of 
Longleat, in the county of Wilts. At the dissolution of 
that priory, (29 Henry VIII.) it was granted to John, prior 
of the Carthusian monastery at Hinton, in the county of
