Barnston Monument in Salisbury Cathedral. 

 Since writing the note in vol. xxvii., p. 315, of the Magazine, I see that in 

 Prioe's Salisbury Cathedral (177 J) the author states that in his time (he died in 

 1753) Mary Barnston's monument was in the Lady Chapel. I gather from this 

 that when Wyatt destroyed the Hungerford and Beauchamp Chapels at the end 

 of the last century, and panelled the Lady Chapel with fragments of the former, 

 this monument was removed, together with her husband's hatchment, to their 

 present position. Price adds that Dr. Barnston was buried in the Lady Chapel, 

 and that on his gravestone was this inscription : — 



" Vixit 

 J. Barnston, D.D., P.P. V. 

 xxx. Maii 

 mdcxlv. 

 et 



Mutavit Saecula 

 Non obiit."

St. Andrew. 

 {Translation). "Between Robert de 

 Hungerforde plaintiff by Richard de 

 Wanberge his attorney, and Robert do 

 Horputte andAgnes his wife defendants, 

 of the moiety of one acre of land with 

 its appurtenances in Blontesdone Seint 

 Andrew and the advowson of the Church 

 of that vill ; of which a plea of covenant 

 was taken between them, &c, to wit that 

 the said Robert de Horputte and Agnes 

 acknowledge the said moiety with its 

 appurtenances and the said advowson to 

 be the right of the same Robert de 

 Hungerford ; and have remitted and 

 quit-claimed them for the same Robert 

 de Horputt and Agnes, and the heires 

 of the said Agnes 1 ; to the aforesaid 

 Robert de Hungerford and his heirs for 

 ever. And for this recognisance re- 

 mission, quit-claim, fine, &c, the same 

 Robert de Hungerford hath given to the 

 aforesaid Robert de Horputte and Agnes 

 ten marks of silver. 



" From the quindenes of Easter in the 

 14th year [of King Edward II.?] a day 

 is given to them to take their indentures 

 until the morrow of St. John. And 

 Robert and Agnes have placed in their 

 stead [appointed as their attorney] John 

 de Crickkclade. Wyltes." 



1 This shows that the half-acre and advowson were the inheritance of Agnes.
