I will only add that a chapel at the east end of the south aisle in 

 the parish church of Trowbridge, now commonly called the Duke's 

 Chapel, is held to be appurtenant to the lordship of the manor by 

 prescriptive right. The present Lord of the Manor, William 

 Stancomb, Esq., of Blount's Court, Potterne, has within the last 

 few days — whilst in fact these sheets are passing through the press 

 — generously offered to surrender all his interest, either real or pre- 

 sumed, in this chapel, and to give it to the Rector and Churchwardens 

 to be held by them for the general benefit of the parishioners.
