 mediately following, of a "capital mansion" at Durrington, where

Whitecliff, Salisbury, Amesbury, Durrington. 



The following set of deeds (Nos. 26 — 28), by which he gives the 

 bulk of his property to Alice, his wife, for the term of his life, may 

 liave been executed on the occasion of his marriage with her. In 

 this case it was probably a second marriage, if, as seems likely, he 

 was born not later than 1420. Otherwise we may presume that 

 the settlement was made with the view to the protection of his 

 estate in troublesome times.
