of the manor of Kingston Deverel, Co. Wilts, given by John Husee, 

 brother and heir of Sir Roger Husee, Kt. 1 



Tormarton was subject to Zs. a year to the Prior of Eynsham. 

 In 6 H. IV. Sir Thomas Hungerford held some rents there, be- 

 longing to Edyndon (I. p. M.). 



1361. John Laundels held for the Rector of Edingdon, Keny- 

 cote and Munster manors, in Oxon. Remainder to himself (I. p. 

 M.). 



1361. Bishop Edingdon is nominated by the King guardian of 

 Joan, co-heiress of John Pavely lord of the manor of Westbury 

 and of the hamlet of Hefding-hill (Bratton). 2 She afterwards 

 married Sir Ralph Cheney, whose name is given to the mortuary 

 chapel now standing between the nave and south aisle of Edingdon 

 Church. 



A license from the Crown, dated Westminster, 6th May, was 

 granted to enable the monastery to conduct water to the Prior's 

 house from a rivulet in the middle of Edingdon village. The same 

 for the Abbess of Romsey to a house belonging to her. 3 



1362. 36 Ed. III. The Abbess of Romsey gave the Rector and 

 brethren two messuages and one virgate of land, &c, in Edingdon, 

 in exchange for others in the same vill (Inq. a.q.d.). 



1362. West Ilsley. Co. Berks. Some land here called " Pen- 

 ley's'" held under the Duchy of Lancaster, was given to the monas- 

 tery by Sir Richard Penley, who was afterwards buried at Edingdon. 4

 part of the parish of Kingston Deverel.

3 About a quarter-of-a-mile from the site of the Priory, and about one hundred 

 yards to the right of the road leading from Edington to Bratton, four springs 

 burst from the hill-side. From the largest is supplied a copious stream that 

 flows through the premises formerly of the Priory, and thence to join other streams 

 tributary to the Avon. Over the southernmost spring a stone fountain-cell (still 

 standing) was built, in the strong and finished style of William of Edyndon. 

 The roof is of stone supported by two pointed arches. The conduit-drain, which 

 had an arched roof, was destroyed some years ago, and the leaden pipes stolen 

 and sold.
