 Ciiifpen ham , (Hundred of Ditto.) In the parish church, St. 

 Andrew's, were two chantries. The chapels still remain. 



1. St. Mary's, at the east end of the south aisle, founded by 

 "Walter, Lord Hungerford, K.G., 1442. John Salwey was 

 Chaplain, 1459, Thomas Clerk, 1494, William Pole, 1534, and 

 Richard Whygmore, 1547, when it was dissolved, and the 

 lands belonging to it were sold to Henry Goldney, being 

 then worth £11 Os. 12d. a year. 



2. St. John the Baptist. This was part of the property of 

 Monkton Farley Priory. The priory was granted to Edward 

 Seymour, Earl of Hertford, (the Protector) : but St. John's 

 chantry, worth then £5 a year, was bought by Mr. Berwick, 

 of Wilcote (the Earl's steward) . On the south side of the church 

 is a chapel which may have been St. J ohn Baptist's: but it rather 

 seems to have been built by the Beauchamps of Bromham, 

 and bears still the name of their successors the Bayntons. 



There was a third endowed priest, the chaplain of the 

 fraternity or brotherhood of St. Katherine, but the site of 

 any chapel or altar of this dedication is not known. The last 

 Chaplain was John Jekell, in 1547, set 80 years. Value £4

 The priests of these three chantries assisted the Vicar of 

 Chippenham in the administration of the sacraments. 



An ancient stone was found in the floor of the Parish Church 

 in 1847, mentioning " Clerk and Alice his wyfe " as founders 

 of a chantry, the particulars of which are lost.
