man alludeJ to was fond of decoratlng his gi-ounds with 

 rellcs froni various localities ; so that, if these objects yet 

 exist, which I have been unable to discovei', they could 

 not be attributed to Buckland with any degree of cer- 

 tainty. 



We will now take iip the narrative from the point at 

 which we left it. 



On the lOth of December, 1534, Katherina Burgehier,* 

 Pnoress, and the Convent of Bockeland granted to John 

 Popham, gentleman, the first and next advowson, donation, 

 nomination, presentation or free disposition of the parish 

 church of Tolor, in the County of Dorset, whenever by 

 death, resignation, deprivation, cession, or any other mode 

 of avoidance, it should first and next chance to be vacant ; 

 the Said advowson and presentation to be holden by the 

 aforesaid John Popham and his executors and ass'gns for 

 that one turn only. The Court of Augmentation con- 

 firmed this grant ou the 20th of June, 1544.t 



Onthe 31st of January,1536,KatherinaBoucher,Prioress, 

 and her Sisters granted an annuity of sß4 for life to John 

 Tregunwell, doctor of laws, and one of the councillors of the 

 most potent and dread king " potentissimi et metuendissimi 

 regis" Henry VIII. It was to be paid in two equal portions, 

 one at the festival of our Lord's Nativity, and the other on 

 that of S. John the Baptist, and was stated to be in con- 

 sideration of his counsel already and hereafter to be given. 



* I scarcely noed to remind the reader, who may be struck with the fre- 

 quent variations iu the orthography of proper names, that, throughout this 

 and other Histories of Reli^;ious Ilouses, I invariably give theiu as they 

 appear in the document which suppHes the information then and tliere 

 delailed.
