services in the several Clarendon chapels. In addition to 

 early general grants of pasturage which the canons enjoyed 

 throughout the forest, Henry III., in 1252, provided that they 

 should have in every year that the forest was agisted twenty 

 swine with their litters to feed on the mast, free of pannage 

 charges, provided they were ringed ; but there were to be 

 no pigs allowed in. the forest during those years when it was 

 not agisted. Four years later the king granted them a piece 

 of ground of considerable size adjoining their priory, known 

 by the unattractive name of Filthycroft, with leave to enclose 

 it with ditch and hedge, but only in accord with the fixed 

 custom of the forest that permitted of the entrance and return 

 of a deer and her fawns at due seasons. Edward II., in 1317, 

 granted the priory right of pasturage in the forest for forty 

 bulls and cows at a rental of 56^.
