distinctly described as on the south side of the church, the 

 origin and history of this in the north transept is a little 

 obscure ; no reference to it as an endowed chantry having 

 been met with among many papers relating to them and their 

 property. The Dean's Register at Sarum however states that 

 Walter Lord Hungerford, K.G., mentioned above as owner of 

 St. Mary's chantry on the south side in 1408, also founded a 

 chantry in 1421. This may have been in the north transept. 

 "Mounte's chantry," mentioned above as dedicated to St. 

 Katharine, may have been in the south transept : but this is

 73 years, was Incumbent. Studley Grange belonged to Stan-

 (under Studley, p. 566), the above sum is mentioned as paidj 

 yearly by that monastery to the chantry of William Ingram. 



This £6 13s. 4d. is the ten marks, named in the Inquis. 

 ad quod Damnum, 34 to 39 Hen. VI. (c. 1456) as paid by 

 " John, Abbot of Stanley and the convent there, to John Salve, 

 perpetual Chaplain of the chantry of St. Nicholas in High-
