90 DORSET CHANTRIES. 



Walter Mildmaye, Knight, Channcellor of the Honorable 

 Courte of Exchequere, touching the declaracon of suche 

 matter as is conteined in a Ire by them unto the Surveior 

 of the countie of Dors or to his deputie directed bearing date 

 the 12th daie of Marche 1565. 



DORS. Ther is in the poch of Halstocke in the countie 

 aforesaid a Chappell and a certen pcell of grouiide conteininge 

 by estimation 2 acres wheruppon the same Chappell standeth 

 which Chappell and pcell of grounde by informacon made 

 unto yo r honours is pretended to be wrongefullie witheholden 

 from the Quenes maiestie. 



For the better triall and examinacon of the Quenes maieties 

 title in that behalf I resorted to the said Chappell wheare 

 aswell by reporte of the tennants and inhtannts of the said 

 poche as also by other honest and credeble parsonnes it is 

 manifestlie for truethe affirmed that the Chappell above 

 named is and hathe ben alwaies called Sainte Judethes 

 Chappell otherwise called a free Chappell in whiche ther 

 was sumtyme a Fraternitie or Brotherod of Sainte Judethe ; 

 And to the same Chappie belongethe adjoining thereunto 

 two acres of ground in severall alredie allotted and appointed 

 by metes and boundes to remayne to the said Chappell as 

 before tyme hathe ben accustumed ; Whiche said Chappell 

 and other the premisses are nowe occupied and hathe ben 

 since the dissolucon of the same by the farmers of the psonage 

 of Halstocke aforesaid w'oute any accompte or rente yelden 

 or paid there fore unto the Quenes maiestie who ought to 

 have enioyed and ben aunswered the same and of the pro- 

 fuits thereof by force of the Statute made in the firste yeare 

 of o r late Sou'aign Lorde Kinge Edward the Vlth as by the 

 said Statute appeareth. 



The said Chappell was purchased by one John Strowbridge 

 of Collesdon (viz., Colliton, Devon) in the 7th yeare of the 

 reign of o r said late sou'aign Lorde Kinge Edward the VI. 

 But the said two acres of ground thereunto belonginge doe yet 

 remayne in the Quenes maiesties hands. Also there is within 

 the said poche of Halstocke a howse with a backeside and 

 an orchard apperteineinge to the same called S r . Peters howse 

 which is also certified by the foresaide tennants and inhitanntes 

 of Halstocke to be given for praienge for the deed in the poche 

 churche of Halstocke and the same hath also been concealed 

 from the Quenes maiestie hetherunto.
