Arehury. Given by William de Tankerville to the Abbey of S. 

 George de Boueherville in the time of Henry I. This was 

 assigned to the College of Fotheringhay, and at the disso- 

 lution was sold to Sir William Sharington. 



Charlton, near Marlborough. Given by one of the de Pavely 

 family to the Premonstratensian house of de Lisle Dieu. 

 Henry VI. assigned this to Eton for seven years, at which 

 time it was valued at £22. But Edward IV. transferred it 

 to his foundation of the College of Windsor, but it again 

 figures as sold as part of Fotheringhay to Sir W. Sharington. 



Clatford, near Andover. Given in the time of Henry II. to the 

 Abbey of St. Victor de Caux by the de Mortimer family. 

 This priory was assigned by Henry VI. to Eton. 



Corsham (spelt Cosham in old documents) . There were two Alien 

 Priories in this town, given (1) by William I. to the Abbey 

 of St. Stephen, of Caen ; ( 2) by Henry II. to the Abbey of 

 Marmoustier. These priories were assigned first to King's 

 College, then to the Monastery of Syon. 



Uparon. Given in the time of Hen. I. (by whom I do not know) 

 to the Abbey of St. Wandrille, in Rouen. It was transferred 

 to Ivy church. 



I would like in conclusion to ask any who may be interested in 

 this not unimportant chapter of our county history, and who have 

 more local knowledge than I, whether there are any structural 

 remains left of these Alien Priories, in order that, before complete 

 destruction comes upon them, some record may be preserved, which 

 may help towards a work which is greatly needed, and for which I 

 think the time has come — a new edition of the Wiltshire Monasticon.
