Priory of Bradenstoke ; and in the Chartulary of that house 

 in the British Museum, fol. 73, " Dreicote Chapel " is men- 

 tioned. [See New Monasticon under Bradenstoke, p. 337, note. 

 Also Ecton, p. 406.] Its existence and site appear to be now 

 equally forgotten. 



Dhaycote Foliot, (South of Swindon, Kingsbridge Hundred. The 

 parish church of this parish was taken down by an order of 

 Edmund Gheast, Bishop of Sarum, dated 27th June, 1572 

 (14 Eliz.) A ground plan of it, and other particulars are 

 given in the Wilts Arch. Mag., iii., p. 280 : and a copy of 

 Bishop Gheast's order, and some further account of the church 

 in Kite's Wilts Brasses, p. 105. 



Dunley, (Chippenham Hundred.) On the Foss Road, close to a 

 spot called " The Elm and Ash," in the extreme corner of a 

 field where the road turns off to Alderton, is still to be seen 

 the site of a chapel. [See Wilts Collections, Aubrey & Jackson 

 p. 104.] Like " Chapel Plaister, or Plaistow, above mentioned, 

 Dunley Chapel may have been convenient for the call of pil- 

 grims : for Hugh Latimer says he " lived within half a mile 

 of the Foss way," (at West Kington) "and you would wonder 

 to see how they come by flocks out of the west country to 

 many images, but chiefly to the blood of Hailes" (Hales 

 Abbey, co. Gloucester). [See ditto, p. 87.] 



Easton Piers (or Percy). This is a small hamlet, within the 

 Hundred of Malmesbury, but now for many years considered 

 as part of the parish of Kington St. Michael, which is in the 

 Hundred of Damerham North. A chapel was pulled down 

 about 1640. "It was but small, and such a turret for two 

 tintinnabulums as at Leigh Delamere, Corston, &c." Aubrey. 

 [See Wilts Collections, p. 236.] 



Easton : Holy Trinity Priory, near Burbage, (Kinwardstone 

 Hundred.) This was a Hospital or Priory founded for the 

 redemption of captives, temp. Hen. III., by (as was said) 

 Stephen, Archdeacon of Sarum : but later landowners, the 

 families of Sturmy and Seymour, were considered as second 

 founders. The church of the Priory was destroyed at the
