recovered it from the monks in exchange for land at Wilcote: 

 but at a later period Ela D'Eureux, Foundress of Lacock 

 Abbey, Countess of Sarum, and wife of William Longespee, 

 restored it with certain lands to Bradenstoke. The chapel 

 was in existence in 1341, (15 Edw. III). It is called in 

 Tanner, the Chapel of Chitterne. There is at Chitterne All 

 Saints, an old gabled building with an ornamented gateway 

 adjoining it, but of much later date : formerly the Michell's, 

 now Mr. Hayward's. Behind this old building some stone 

 coffins have been dug up, and there is a belief that the chapel 

 stood upon that spot. 



In the parish church, Edward Morgan, (Lessee of the lands

 encaustic tiles bearing the arms of Simon Sydenham, Dean of 

 Sarum 1418, and William Alnewyke, Archdeacon of Sarum

 Chitterne St. Mary's. This Rectory was appropriated to the
