34 DORSET CHANTRIES. 



Having now concluded the Chantry Roll which gave the totals 

 of the incomes of the Chantries and also the Particulars for 

 Grants showing whence the incomes were dcri\ed and the 

 purchasers' names of these Dorset Chantry lands, there now 

 remains, to complete the history of the Chantries, to ascertain 

 their Founders and what lands were given at the time of their 

 foundation or added subsequently. 



Chronologically this enquiry should have preceded the 

 Chantry Roll and the Particulars for Grants, but I am not 

 sure if the work will not be somewhat easier by knowing at 

 the outset what the properties were with which the Chantries 

 were endowed at the time of their dissolution. 



Hutchins in very many instances gives the Founders' names 

 and dates, but it will be both useful and instructive to read the 

 donor's Charter in full and to know who he was and any other 

 interesting facts connected with the subject. 



Whether I shall find time to take up this enquiry and focus 

 the results in a subsequent paper remains to be seen. I shall be 

 very glad in the meantime to hear from anyone who may already 

 have made investigations into the foundations of Dorset 

 Chantries with the view to their publication.
