also informs us that presumably the chantry priest dwelt (possibly 

 with one or more otliers) in a house on the north side of the High 

 Street, now known as " Chantry Ironworks." 1 



It is of this building that I venture, at his request, to supple- 

 ment Canon Wordsworth's paper with some particulars, especially 

 those which have been brought to light recently.

1 The only possible alternative origin for the name given to this tenement, 

 " St. Katharine's Cha?itry" — which is not a modern fancy, but can be traced 

 in records — is, so far as I can conjecture, a theory that Mr. Pope's house 

 might be not the priest's residence, but merely one of the four buildings 

 (three tenements and a shop) which afforded the endowment of the Chantry 

 of St. Katharine. These were, however, occupied by tenants at will in 

 1547-8, and, as Mr. Ponting has observed, there is an ecclesiastical or 

 collegiate character in the fifteenth century work which he has studied and 

 described for us. So we may conclude that this house was not merely the 

 Brydde's chantry priest's freehold, but also was designed to be his abode. 

 He might find room to accommodate one or more priests from other 

 chantries in the town. Was it previously Mr. Bryd's home 1 — Chr. W. 



■ J. Grayle, Gralyo, Groleau, Grolleau, or Groveley, was Rector of Huish,
