The second document is dated A.D. 1397 (after the foun- 

 dation of Edingdon Priory of Bonhommes). By this the

 Manor of Southwyk" on the presentation of the true patron

By an Inquis. p. M. 1 Hen. Y. (1413), Humphrey Stafford 

 and Elizabeth his wife were owners of " Southwick manor, 

 together with the advowson of the chapel of St. John the 

 Baptist belonging to the said manor." There are in Sarum 

 Episcopal Registry no recorded presentations to Southwick 

 Chapel per se. In 1578, and afterwards, it appears as ' ' Bradley 

 cum Southwick." It is not known where Southwick Chapel 

 stood, but it was probably close to the house.

 " Chantry of Hungerford Church." In 1. Edw. VI., when 

 confiscated, it was worth 40s. a year. William Pett, aged 50 

 years, was Incumbent. No presentations appear in the Wilts
