1528. There is an account of the fare provided for the brethren,, 

 amongst the papers belonging to the Hospital, from which it ap- 

 pears that the ancient custom was for the sub-warden to provide 

 all the requirements from the funds at his disposal, which were 

 made up from the income arising from the annual rental of the 

 property of the Hospital, the donations collected in a box kept on 

 the spot, legacies bequeathed by benefactors, and collections made 

 by duly constituted proctors throughout the diocese, one of whom 

 was appointed in each county, viz., "Wilts, Berks, and Dorset. 



The brethren were fed at a common table in the hall. The 

 Chaplain had his meals there also, in addition to his stipend of 

 33s. 4d and one gown annually. The Mayor was paid 13s. 4td. per 

 annum as a recompence for his trouble.
