thus to the Rev. William Coxe, 1796 :— 



" Sir, Last night I called on Dame Coombs, who is near 80 

 years of age. She perfectly remembers service being per- 

 formed at Fuggleston Chapel : was also present when John 

 and Betty Smith were married by the Rev. Mr. Barford who 

 was Rector of Wilton, says there has been no service there for 

 60 years. John Wicker also remembers, when a boy, going to 

 chapel : the pews were all very regular, a desk and pulpit : 

 both agree as to the time it was shut up : he was at the opening 

 of a well, and saw eleven skulls taken out. The hospital was 

 endowed by Adelicia, Queen to Henry II. (read I.), and she 

 lived in the house where farmer Waters now resides. There 

 were two estates near Warminster settled for its support, which 

 Mr. Frost and the Rev. Mr. Barford sold. Frost's family all 

 came to want, and he was found drowned in a river, not a foot 

 deep, near Harnham. 1 Joseph Gibbs." 



Adeliza, second wife and relict of King Hen. L, was daughter 

 of Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine. She had the Castle of Arundel 

 in dower from the King, and on her re-marrying William de 

 Albini, he became, in her right, Earl of Arundel. 

 Gore Chapel. About two miles south of West Lavington, near, 

 or probably at, a point where the road from that place is crossed 

 by the old ridgeway, at Gore cross, stood the Chapel of Gore, 

 dedicated to St. John. In A.D. 1347, Robert de Heghtred- 

 bury was instituted by the Bishop to the chantry of Gore, on 

 the presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Sarum. The 

 " Chapel of Gore " is named in the chartulary of Edingdon 

 Priory, in the British Museum, in a deed dated 1359, being a 

 Composition between the Vicar of Market (or Staple) Laving- 

 ton, and the monastery of Edingdon. It is named once in the 

 Sarum Episcopal Registers. Standing at cross roads, (if it did 

 stand here) it may have served for the occasional devotion of 



1 Joseph Gibbs seems to imply that Mr. Frost's death was a judgement upon 

 him for selling "the two estates near "Warminster." But St. Giles's Hospital 

 never had any there. It was St. John's Hospital, Wilton, that had and still 

 has, lands at Corsley and Whitborne near Warminster. See Corsley, supra.
