Ancient Chapels, fyc., in Co. Wilts. 



presented by the Abbot of Glastonbury, from 1307 to 1511. 

 (Wilts Instit.) In 1. Edw. VI., it was confiscated by the name 

 of "The Free Chapel of Tutpytt, in the parish of Marten. 

 John Holwaye, aged 60 years, incumbent, clear value, 51s. 6d." 

 In the Eccles. Taxation of 1291 it had been £4 6s. 8d. The 

 chapel is destroyed. In the Yalor Eccles., Ecton, and Bacon's 

 Liber Regis, it is miscalled (i Badpytt." 

 Tisbury. (Dunworth Hundred.) Bishop Tanner says that in the 

 Life of St. Boniface [Cressy's Church History], mention is made 

 of one Wintra, an Abbot of " Tissel-bury," in the kingdom of 

 the West Saxons, about A.D. 720. The manor belonged to 

 Shaftesbury Abbey from A.D. 924 : but of any house 

 of Religion being within the parish itself, nothing is 

 known. 



There was a Chantry Chapel of St. Mary in the church. 

 At the Dissolution of Chantries, 1 Edw. VI., Thomas Bryger 

 was cantarist : the value was £5 a year. The lands belonging 

 to it were bought some years ago by the governors of Queen 

 Anne's Bounty, and were added to the Rectory of Compton 

 Chamberlayne. [Sir R. C. Hoare, Hundred of Dunworth, 

 p. 238.] See Hatch, supra. 



Titherington Kellaways, near Chippenham, (Hundred of Ditto.) 

 An ancient little church here, dedicated to St. Giles, and 

 called in the Sarum Registers, until 1450, "Cayleway's 

 Chantry," had disappeared in 1760. Its founder had no doubt 

 been one of the Cayleway or Keilway family. In Bacon's 

 Liber Regis it is miscalled " Calloes." There is now a little 

 parish church, but on a different site. 



Trowbridge. Terumber's Chantry. Leland (1540), says, "of 

 later tymes, one James Terumber, a very rich clothier, buildid 

 a notable fair house in this toune, and gave it at his deth with 

 other landes to the finding of two cantuarie prestes yn 

 Through-bridg Chirch. He also made a litle almose house by 

 the chirch, and yn it be a 6 poore folkes having a 3 pence a 

 peace by the week toward theyr fyndyng " (perhaps equal to 

 5s. now).
