* Upper Hurstbourne or Hurstbourne Tarrant. The nunnery at Tarrant 

 or Tarent Crayford or Crawford, Dorset, from which the suffix is derived, was 

 a house of Cistercian or White Nuns, called originally " The Charnel," founded 

 by Richard Poore, Bishop of Salisbury, at this place where he was born, and 

 where his heart is interred. There are no ancient monuments remaining in 

 Hurstbourne church, but in the churchyard are many memorials of the 

 Holdways, Poores, Bannings, Blandys, Childs, Mundy, Durnford, Steele, and 

 other worthy old residents in the parish. A mural tablet in the Church 

 commemorates the Rev. Samuel Heskins, or Haskins, for 30 years Rector of 

 Tydworth, and Vicar of Hurstbourne 47 years. He died in 1732. His daughter 

 Mary, married Mr. Samuel Slocock, of Newbnry, and is buried in the chancel 

 of the church there. There are also some memorials of the Powletts, one of 

 whom Thomas, youngest son of Lord Charles Powlett, is buried in the chancel, 

 He died 2 Sept., 1708, a. 63. 



) The Bunnys were in possession of an estate at Ibthorp, a tithing of 

 Hurstbourne Tarrant from the time of King John as appears by a deed of that 

 date, and continued to hold property here till recent years. The late Edward 

 Brice Bunny, Banker, of Newbury, was lineally descended from this old stock, 

 and his son Colonel E. J. St. John, of Slinfold, Horsham, Sussex, is the 

 present representative of the family. The Hurstbourne Bunnys were con- 

 nected by marriage with the Blandys, Vincents, and other old families of 

 good standing in the neighbourhood.
