a chantry chapel of the B. V. M., and St. Nicholas, founded 

 about the end of the 15th century, by Richard Beauchamp, 

 Lord St. Amand. [Wilts Tnstit. p. 185.] Worth in lands 

 at Stockley in Calne, Abury, Hockley, Bremhill, and Bromham, 

 £11. 13. 4., less certain small annual payments to Lord Zouche, 

 the college of Fotheringhay, Sir Henry Long, the Abbot of 

 Battle, co. Sussex, and — Grene, Lord of Hockley. William 

 Slade was cantarist in 1534. In 1650, Sir John Danvers 

 purchased " divers lands and tenements that were parcell of 

 the Chantry of Bromham, 20s. a year." This chapel still 

 exists, containing some curious brasses, glass in good preser- 

 vation, and altar-tomb. [See Kite's Wilts Brasses.] 

 Bulea Chapel. This name is introduced here only in order to 

 warn students of Wilts Topography, that, there was no such 

 building. In "Antiquitates Salisb. (Letwych) p. 87, and in 

 Hundred of Alderbury, p. 127, (Hoare's Mod. Wilts), it is 

 stated on the authority of an English translation from a Latin 

 charter, that Ela Countess of Sarum gave to St. Nicholas's 

 Hospital at Salisbury in A.D. 1227, a certain part of Bentley 

 Wood, (near East Grimstead) " with the Chapel of Bulea." 

 Search, and re-search having been made through all sorts of 

 Wilts records for this " Capella de Bulea " without success, 

 it turns out by reference to the original Latin Charter, printed 

 in Hatcher & Benson's History of Salisbury, p. 728, that the 

 words supposed by some translator to be "Capella de Bulea" 

 really are " Clausa de Ruelea" viz : — certain enclosures called 

 Rulea, i. e. probably rough leases. So that " Bulea chapel " 

 is a non-entity. 



Bull-bridge. St. Peter's, near Wilton. A chantry here was 

 founded by one Thomas le Porter, Yicar of Bolebryg : the 

 chaplain to be paid out of an endowment granted bythe said 

 Yicar to St. John's Priory, Wilton. (Mortival Registry, Sarum, 

 A.D. 1325.) It was confiscated at the Reformation ; the 

 value being then £11 10s. 4d. a year. See Wilton infra.
