so apparent from the study of the hall-marks of the Elizabethan Com- 

 munion cups in Wiltshire, that the date of the conversion of the "massing 

 chalice/' into the Communion cup in this county was in a large number 

 of cases 1576. 



Another item of interest is the entry in 1789 : " P (1 for the Parson's 

 umbrella 0=14=0," which was doubtless not for the parson's personal 

 use, but for that of the parish. 



The charities, schools, &c, are adequately written of, but the family 

 history of the place has but 20 pages assigned to it, and is really hardly 

 touched on. There are, however, pedigrees of Merewether and Ernie, 

 and some account of the Fynamores of Whetham. In connection with 

 the Blakes of Pinhills it is mentioned that in the farmhouse which suc- 

 ceeded the old moated mansion destroyed by Col. Lloyd on Dec. 28th, 

 1643 , the first vaccination performed in England is said to have taken place. 



It should be noted that the illustration of the borough seal on page 66 

 purporting to be a copy of the illustration in the Visitation of Wiltshire 

 of 1623 is not so in point of fact, the name of the place appearing as 

 calm instead of caln, as it should be.

 both in process blocks from photos, which vary a good deal in their
