 where it founded Anketil's Grove. From the deeds in the 

 municipal chest a considerable amount of information may be 

 gathered respecting chantries founded in the churches of the 

 town. John Kilpeke, goldsmith, of Bristol, the son apparently of 

 Robert and Alice Kilpeke, by his will bequeathed to Joane, his 

 wife, a tenement in Goldhill, Shaston, called Kilpekesplace, 

 directing his executors, John Belle, of Bristol, clerk, and John 

 Hans, of the same, goldsmith, after her death, to sell and dispose
