and 1472, he was probably a resident at Bradford. Thus in the 

 year 1461, "Master John Long" was presented to the rectory of 

 Wendlebury, in Oxfordshire, per honestum virum Jacobum Tyrrym- 

 ber alias nuncupatum Coker, de Bradejord in Com. Witts." 1 And on 

 the decease, in 1471, of the said John Long, one John Hall was 

 presented by the same patron James Tyrrymber alias Coker, and 

 was admitted to the rectory of Wendlebury, at London, on the 24th 

 January, 1472. The names of these presentees would seem to 

 connect them with those of Long of Wraxall, and Hall of Brad- 

 ford ; the head of each of these families being named among the 

 Feoffees in whom Terumber vested his property, and also among 

 the benefactors to the " newe chirch" at Trowbridge. Before the 

 next avoidance of the rectory of Wendlebury, the patronage had 

 passed away from James Terumber; for in the year 1485 it was 

 exercised by Humphrey Seymour, who is, it will be observed, one 

 of the first-named of the Feoffees in Terumber's deed. 



Of the various lands and tenements with which Terumber 

 endowed the Chantry and the Alms-house, we havefull and detailed 

 accounts among the deeds relating to the " sale of Chauntreys, 

 Colleges, Free Chapels, &c.," now deposited in the Record Office. 

 They were situated at Trowbridge, Studley, and Broughton in 

 Wilts, and at Beckington in Somerset. Some of the names of the 

 places may perchance be recognized by residents in one or other 

 of those places to the present day. Thus in Trowbridge, there 

 were lands and tenements held at Holbroke's Lane, — at Pinche- 

 mede, — at Lowmede, — at Whitrowe, — and in Church-close. In 

 High Street, one William Couper held a " messuage and garden 

 with a barne and stable adjoining, together with one other garden 

 and little tenement on the north side of the church. " At Broughton, 

 the property consisted of " a messuage called Darbyes," with 20 

 acres of land. At Beckington it is described as " a Tune 2 called 

 the Hurle, with all the houses thereto belonging." 



The gross rental of the several lands and tenements, was esti-

 2 This word, which is from the Anglo-Saxon Tun, signifies primarily an 

 enclosure, and is the origin of our word Town. The expression " tyning" is a 

 common one in Wilts to denote an enclosed court yard, &c. They are all derived 

 from the Anglo-Saxon verb Tynan, which means "to enclose" or "shut in."
