which sum was paid by the sheriff of the county, and it was allowed 

 to him, April 23rd, 1320, in the exchequer. 1 



Thomas de Cotes, August 12th, 1326, acknowledged in Chancery 

 a debt of £10 due to the prior of the friar-preachers of Salisbury; 

 and it was to be paid on the ensuing feast of the Nativity of our 

 Lord. 2 



Edward III. arriving at Salisbury gave an alms of 13<s. Ad. August 

 18th, 1334, through F. John Walran to the forty friars here. 3 And 

 November 14th following, he gave an alms of 14s. to the forty-two 

 friar-preachers, through F. John Camol. 4 



Elias Homes, in 1348, by will directed his body to be buried in 

 the Church of the friar-preachers. 5 



A royal licence was granted, June 20th, 1354, for Mary, Countess 

 of Norfolk, to found a fraternity of secular brethren, in honour of 

 St. Mary, St. Anne, and All Saints, at Fisherton- Anger ; and 

 also a chantry of six chaplains here, to celebrate mass for the 

 welfare of the king, and the countess, and the brethren of the 

 fraternity in life and after death. And July 1st following, the 

 grant was repeated, fixing the foundation within the mansion of 

 the friar-preachers ; with mortmain-licence for the brethren to 

 receive lands and rents to the value of £40 a year not held of the 

 crown in capite, in aid of the maintenance of themselves and 

 chaplains. 6 If the purpose of the countess was ever carried out, it 

 is probable that the chapel by the choir mentioned at the dissolution 

 belonged to this brotherhood, of which, however, no distinct trace 

 now exists, even in the fraternity- returns of 1388, or the chantry- 

 certificates of 1548.
