OF SELBORNE.

Regiftr. B. pag. 112. Here we find aleafeof the parfonage 
of Selborne to T'homas Sylvejler and Miles Arnold, hufbandmen — of the 
tythes of all manner of corne pertaining to the parfonage— ^with 
the offerings at the chapel of IVhaddon belonging to the faid par- 
fonage. Dat. June i. ^f^. Hen. S''^. [viz. 1536.] 
As the chapel of ffhaddon has never been mentioned till now, and 
as it is not noticed by bifhop Tanner in his Notilia Monqftica, fome 
more particular account of it will be proper in this place. Whad- 
don was a chapel of eafe to the mother church of Selborne, and was 
fituated in the tithing of Oakhanger, at about two miles diftance 
from the village. The farm and field whereon it flood are ftiU 
called chapel farm and field °: but there are no remains or traces of 
the building itfelf, the very foundations having been defiroyed 
before the memory of man. In a farm yard at Oakhanger we re- 
member a large hollow ftone of a clofe fubftance, which had been 
vifed as a hog-trough, but was then broken. This ftone, tradition 
faid, had been the baptifmal font of Whaddon chapel. The chapel 
had been in a very ruinous ftate in old days ; but was new-built at 
the inftance of bifliop /^/^iz/w^f^'/, about the year 1463, during the 
firjl priorfhip of Berne, in confequence of a fequeftration iffued 
forth by that vifitor againft the Priory on account of notorious 
and fliameful dilapidations^. 
g This Is a manor-farm, at prefent the property of Lord Staivell; and belonged 
probably in ancient times to 7(j.de Ff««r, or Fenuz, one of the firft benefaftors to the 
Priory.
