BY HENRY JAMES FOWLE SWAYNE, Recorder of Wilton. liti ( WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY AMY M. STRATON, AND A PREFACE BY THE LORD BISHOP OF SALISBURY. SALISBURY : PRINTED BY BENNETT BROTHERS, JOURNAL OFFICE. 1896. 1^ jLurviX^ -0 % ^- / $ 6 THE W^ILTS RECORD SOCIETY. PRESIDENT : THE LORD BISHOP OF SALISBURY. The Wilts Record Societt has been formed for the purpose of printing and circulating unpublished records, charters, or papers belonging to the County of Wilts. Such documents are every year becoming more scarce, many are ruthlessly destroyed by the hands of those who do not know or ap- preciate their value, and all are slowly but steadily marred by the eflfacing fingers of time. To be of value it is not necessary that they should be drawn from the class of Registers or Records, indeed it is impossible to overestimate the light which an unimportant but authentic document may sometimes be able to throw on points of social life and manners or on the gradual development of national institutions. Such priceless finds as the Paston Letters may yet lie hidden in some old oaken coflfer in Wilts. But whatever the nature of the record may be, it is clear that so long as it is unpublished it may be wholly lost by the most trivial accident, while as soon as it is circulated, even in the most limited edition, its existence is practically secured for all time. To take a very simple instance in illustration. The accounts of the church- wardens of SS. Edmund and Thomas Sarum were placed in the hands of Mr. Hatcher when he and Mr. Benson wrote the History of Salisbury for Hoare's Modern Wilts. Mr. Benson copied a large number of these accounts ; many of the originals cannot now be found, and but for this transcript would have been totally lost. Besides those which are thus lost, many which were at that time comparatively perfect and could be easily copied, have now so perished in places as to be quite illegible. These accounts will form the first volume of the Society's publications. They extend from 1443 onwards, and include also the accounts of the Stewards of the Fraternity of Jesus Mass in St. Edmund's from 1476 until the dissolution of the College of St. Edmund. The accounts were aU carefuUy transcribed by the late Mr. Henry James Fowle Swayne from the original rolls and Journal Books; a Preface has been IT contributed by the Lord Bishop of Salisbury and an analytical introduction by Mr. Swayne's daughter, the late Mrs. C. R. Straton. The whole forms a volume of 400 pages royal octavo, and it is hardly possible to realize the richness of the original material which it contains. It will be ready for distribution to the members in the beginning of 1896. It is hoped in a subsequent volume to produce among other things the Fabric Rolls of the Cathedral, which begin early in the fifteenth century, and are full of interest. They include a summary of money paid and received, including the oblations of the Fraternities of St. George and St. John the Evangelist, the Barber-Surgeons, the Carpenters, and Tanners. It is intended also to draw upon Chapter and Borough Records, the Charters of Abbeys, Hospitals and Chantries, the Records of Courts Leet, and especially upon the private muniment rooms of the County. Any information from Town Clerks or private custodians concerning original documents which are hkely to contribute to local history, will be gratefully received by the Editor, E. Doran Webb, Esq., F.S.A., the Treasurers, Messrs. Pinckney, Bankers, SaUsbury, or by the Secretary, C. R. Straton, Esq., West Lodge, Wilton, Salisbury. I I* CONTENTS.

I gladly gave my promise to do so having seen the text of the records which he had deciphered with such ability and accuracy, and at once perceiving the gi-eat interest of the material embraced in them. I remember also that my friend Mr. J. E. Nightingale, another ornament of Wilton and of the County and district, in a short obituary notice of Mr. Swayne observes with regret that he had printed very little of the material which his unwonted energy had brought together. He concludes with the following reference to the subject of this book: — "A few years ago Mr. Swayne made careful *' copies of the Churchwardens' Accounts and Journal Books of the ''Parish of S. Edmund, Salisbury. Some portions of these were " certainly printed, and it is much to be hoped that they will be found " complete for the Churchwardens' Accounts of S. Edmund's are amongst ** the earliest and most interesting in England. They commence at 5ie " unusually early date of 1443." (Salisbury Diocesan Gazette, 1892, p. 40). This volume not only fulfils Mr. Nightingale's wish, but adds to it similar records of S. Thomas' Parish, and a few other ancient documents. It was a sad surprise to me to learn that the writer of the Introduction which follows had herself been called away from a life of great usefulness, and from the midst of a busy and happy home. I had not seen the Introduction until I heard of her death which took place in April last. The filial piety which urged her to undertake the task has evidently been seconded by a more than ordinary share of the intelligence of her father in the matters of which the Introduction treats. Almost the only criticism which a student is likely to pass upon it is that it takes a little too much for granted that its readers will possess the same acquaintance with ancient manners and customs as the writer. An index or glossary, if it is possible to add one, will to a great extent supply what beginners may need. Is it too much to hope that this volume may be the first of a series of Records relating to the County and Diocese, which should occupy the same sort of ground as that covered by the Hampshire and Somersetshire Record Societies in close proximity to us? We cannot always find capable editors in great numbers but I believe we possess, even with all our great losses, a sufficient supply. JOHN SARUM. Palace, Salisbury. 9th November, 1895. INTRODUCTION. ^ By amy MARY STRATON. The accounts of these parishes were transcribed and carefully collated by my father the late Mr. Henry James Fowle Swayne, who had arranged in his mind all the materials for an introduction to the volume in which they are contained. His unique knowledge of the subject would have enabled him to perform this task most satisfactorily, but unfortunately he did not leave behind a single pencil memorandum of what he had intended to say. It is with great diffidence therefore that I have thrown together the following notes of what struck me as remarkable while engaged in pre- paring an index to the work ; and I shall be amply repaid if they only serve to direct the attention of those who are more competent to explore It than I am, to the valuable mine of original material which lies hidden m these accounts. For fifty two years preceding 1445 the Accounts of St. Edmund's had been engrossed in Latin on rolls of parchment, and transcribed in -^nghsh mto a book of paper called the Journal book of the Church, by Robert Tevyns, Deacon of the Church, but the earliest account now existing belongs to the year 1443. From that date until the beginning ot the eighteenth century the accounts are more or less complete, and they are often rendered more clear by the gloss which a corresponding iLjxtract froni the Journal Book supplies. There is also an Inventory of Vestments, Books, Plate, Relics, &c., possessed by the Church in 1472. Besides these the present volume contains a Real Composition relative to Tithes A.D. 1238 ; and a List of Briefs for various collections to redeem captives in machines in Morocco," to assist refugees or sufferers Irom fire ; to repair St. Paul's, London, and similar objects. In addition to those of the Church itself there are the accounts of the Stewards of the Fraternity of Jesus Mass, in the Parish Church of iLt r?,""^' Sarum, from 1476 until the dissolution of the College in 1547. Then follow the accounts of the Churchwardens of St. Thomas i^Ql^°i'i'''°'^^^-^' "f^^^ *^^ ^^''*y^' ^* ^*^«rs the Apostle. When in 1537 Thomas a Becket was declared by Henry Vm. to be no saint but a rebel, all his festivals were abolished and his name and image were erased ; the patron samt of this church was then conveniently described as the Apostle. These accounts extend from 1545 to 1690 and are supplemented by notes from later accounts and from the Minutes of the nf^rZ;.! ^"^^^ ^""'f ""^ documents relating to St. Edmund's, and a Ust ot Churchwardens close the volume. Mr. Benson fortunately made a transcript of many old Church accounts, and much of what he then copied has since bL lost The d letter 13 marks material preserved in this way ; entries from the Journal Book are marked 3J.13* and from the Vestry Book VM. The oldest Minute Book of St. Thomas's Vestry begins in 1594 and the extracts from it are marked ^.U» ; it is called No. 1, Acts of the Vestry. Endorsements marked H. are by Mr. Hatcher the Historian of Salisbury, and the footnotes are all by Mr. Swayne. It is unnecessary to refer to the value of the information contained in these accounts. The facts were all noted at the time as they occurred, and such notes are useful in so far as they are records of passing events, depicted with no attempt at artistic effect, but with the accuracy of detail and rugged truthfulness of a photograph. They indicate the passage from one phase of social development to another ; the variations in the price of material and labour ; the localities from which material was obtained at different periods ; the scarcity and value of money ; the debasement and depreciation of the currency ; the evolution of local government from the time when trade guilds were powerful ; the history of poor relief from its rise with the dissolution of the religious houses ; the early relationship between the Justices and the Parish authorities with regard to the relief of the poor ; the construction and maintenance of the Highways ; the provisions for public safety in case of fire, be- ginning with the Curfew and passing on to leathern buckets, hydrants and fire engines; the establishment of workhouses ; and the growth of assessment and rating. They show too the various changes in the daily life and administration of the Church and " the things necessary to be provided" by the Churchwardens for its services, under varying forms of government. From this point of view alone these pages afford a graphic accompaniment to any volume of Church history. No less in- teresting is the passage of one source of Church revenue into another according to the form of religious teaching predominant at the time. There were certain expenses which had to be met by the churchwardens irrespective of what opinions were uppermost. When Hoktyde gatherings, Lights, and Indulgences ceased, other means had to be devised for raising the necessary income, until the complicated budgets of former times became ultimately simplified into fees and rating. The power possessed by the Ecclesiastical Courts is seen at first to extend to matters, such as the recovery of rates, that at a later date would have been made the subject of a civil suit ; and the way in which that power was exercised over each church by means of visitations at which present- ments had to be made to the Archbishop, Bishop, or Sub-Dean is well exemplified in the churchwardens* accounts. The Churchwardens or "Churchmen" were elected by the Vestry, sometimes called the Gentlemen of the vestry or Masters. In 1686 there is a note that the * Minister* gives his consent to the election of one of the churchwardens and the sidemen chosen for the parish of St. Thomas. At St. Edmund's the earliest accounts run from St. John Baptist's day to the Epiphany, or from Shere Thursday to Shere Thursday, a cend domini, the master's feast. At first three *' supervisor es fahricae" were chosen, and these were often re-elected; but from 1468 there were two "ancient" churchwardens, '* gardiani ecclesiae,'' whose duty it was to begin the reparation of the church at Easter " and not zi ; '• i wait till the Winter," and two junior wardens, custodes bonorum et orna- mentorum ecclesiae, who became the "ancients" in the second year of their office. In times of difficulty some of the "Council of the Vestry" assisted the Churchwardens in overlooking the repairs. At one time the Vestry stood adjourned from Friday to Friday until the repairs were finished. The Accounting Churchwarden, who held the purse, gave a Bond with two sureties that he would account to the Vestry for money received. After 1510 two churchwardens only were appointed, and the one who did not hold the purse became surety for the accounting church- warden. In 1552 Richard Budge died in his year of office ; next year his co-churchwarden was re-elected and the practice was thenceforth re- sumed of serving two consecutive years, the first as junior and the second as senior warden. An honorary or extra churchwarden was chosen in 1653 to countenance and help forward the building of the tower. After 1662 four sidesmen were regularly appointed in each parish to assist the churchwardens as testes synodales at visitations and in other ways. The Wardens had to keep "Bills of parcels of the church," from which the accounts were made up at Easter, and the office was not only onerous but often costly. In the event of loss from delay in collecting rates, or in making up the quarter book, the warden was held responsible. There T ^"Ta^^^ ""^t^"* troublesome duties that devolved on the churchmen, in lb29 they had to note down those who were in receipt of relief, and Jpu^^^u T^^ ^^^^^* ^^^°^ ^^"^^^ *^®y ^^^ ^^ withhold that week's pay. Ihey had also to stand with a basin at the great door of the choir to receive alms from such as came forth from the communion ; they had to stand at all the doors of the church with basins after the end of every sermon, at evening prayer, and also after marriages and christeninffs of the better sort;" they had to wait for half an hour after evening prayer at the upper end of the aisle at the East end of the choir to receive weekly and quarterly payments, instead of going from seat to seat during the service as they used to do. It became the custom, therefore, when a parishioner was unable or unwilling to serve, to ask to be excused on payment of a fine to the pansh and the amount of the fine was decided in vestry "by the more no W ^^' tT^f ^'T ^^i- "P^^^^«- I^ 1675 it was resdvedXt no fine should be less than £5 except in special circumstances ; thus when a churchman was " well inclined to do service" but unable " by lai ure of his eyes his fine was reduced to ^3 10s. The motives were not always so disinterested, and Vestrymen sometimes reduced the fine of a warden who had only served part of his time, "in consideration of S«i/r-^ t""^ " Treat" (241). Past churchwardens and those who had paid their fines were made members Of the vestrv. " Free gifts" of 20s. or upwards were usually made on the admission of fresh vestrymen. The vesky meetmgs were often held on Sunday after evening prayer. ^ J^^fi^-^^^ ^""^ ""!

When the clerk acted as Sacristan he received additional pay for any duties he performed as such (123). If the rector were a preacher the clerk read morning prayers for a small additional sum (55). Acolytes had no fixed salary but received a coat or a pair of shoes for their services. At first when the organs were of a simple kind no regular Org'anist was employed ; hut later when more complicated instruments were in use an organist was engaged, and a Tuner came periodically or was sent for *' to come and execute his office." Singing^ men were hired occasionally for a week or two, especially during a Pardon, or in Lent. On the Fridays during Lent singers came from the Cathedral to " synge at salve" (103), and were refreshed, as an old writer puts it, ** with a scholastical and moderate congratulacion, but no superfluity or excess," of figs with bread and ale. In Wiltshire Smyrna figs are still often called Lent or Lamb figs, a name which otherwise would have been difficult to account for. The Sexton*s duties lay outside the church although the same person occasionally acted as Sexton and Sacristan and even as Clerk '*in the awbsence of the clerk through sickiness" (82). The office of Sexton was at one time held by a woman (241), and was sometimes a yearly appointment (186). When required the sexton gave security (239) ** to be true and faithfull in his place, and demeane himself as he ought, and to keep his house free from inmates and disorders." The ' mortuary stools' used at funerals were supplied by the sexton (244). He occasionally received a small extra payment for ** going about the church" rousing adult sleepers, and a little more for " geydinge of the children." If he owned the long brushes used in *' stryking down the wevet" he charged lOd. "for the hire of the buyssam" (291). The ring^ers were most important officers in the early years of these accounts, when every important announcement was made from the church steeple. Besides the officers of the church itself there was a steward of the SCOtale, who, like the churchwardens, was bound to serve when chosen, or pay a fine. The duties of the church officers were also greatly increased by the custom of making everything that was wanted on the premises. When books were written, bound, and repaired, the skins and clasps had all to be bought and a scribe set to work ; when vestments were made, the broderer was engaged to work up the blue damask with gold eagles, and the silk and crewels were all bought and charged for j crosses or candle- sticks were repaired with broken silver from the treasury house ; new wax was bought and worked up with the old ; and the sows of lead that lay in the plummery had all to be accounted for by the custos bonorum until used on the roof or gutters. After 1670 two supervisors of the highways were also appointed annually. The names of the auditors are occasionally mentioned, and on one occasion (297) five sign the list of sums due. The accounts usually open with the balance in hand or ** mony numbred of the store of the churche owte of the chest of the Tresory" (1478) ; this was handed over to the masters by the accountant with a ■ • • xui I 4 list of arrears due. If the last accountant had not been discharged it was a question whether the new churchwarden could sue for these arrears, and a model opinion of counsel will be found on this point at page 352. The balance in the treasury was not always in current coin, but included " trasche money and galyhalfpens in a pors with odyr brokyn sylvyr," "a marc left from John a Dovers time," " a sum in French crowns; " and even the current coin had at times to be discounted " when the shilling came to ninepence" and ** the groat to twopence." The balance was then handed over by the masters to the next church warden in the presence of the Mayor and others. A quire of paper was bought, 1476 (363) to enter the *' parcels of the church," and "30 counters to lay the accounts with;" the auditors were rarely rapid accountants, and doubtless verified their reckonings on an exchequer or counting board. The junior wardens or custodes bonorum et ornamentorum had an inventory of the property of the church, which they checked on assuming office. The inventory in use in 1472 is printed at page 3, and corrections will be found at p. 371. In the hands of the deacon were suits of vestments of various colours for the Christian seasons with palls or helynge for the altar. Besides these there were many other suits, one blue cope with the Passion in the Orfrayes was reputed to be that of St. Edmund ; many of them were embroidered with eagles, branches, dogs, trefoils, escalloppys of puffe feathers, beasts and birds ; and there were black suits for mortuaries. There were also palls for the sepulchre, with sheets of Rennes, veils for the high altar and rood ; a mitre and Episcopal gloves are also enumerated, which may have been used by a Nicholas Bishop, but were more probably the mitre and gloves of St. Edmund, the founder of the College. The Church Plate is carefully described, and included numerous chalices, patens, crosses, candlesticks, censers, incense boats, oilvats, cups, holywater vessels, sprinklers, pix, and an osculatorium of silver gilt representing the Crucifixion with Mary and John, mounted on a gospeller of vellum ; as well as a copperen pax. In the early ages of the church. Mass was celebrated on the tombs of the martyrs, hence arose the custom of depositing relics of Saints about the altar. At St. Edmund's there were Relics of S. Edmund's shirt, ring, and ivory comb ; a relic of St. Edward's shirt ; St. Dunstan's stole ; and a piece of the skull of St. Wolfrise. The Books and Manuscripts included missals, gospellers, epistlers, grayles, breviaries, antiphoners, legenda, psalters, collectaria, dirige, pro- cessionals, "Hugocon y chaynyd in our Lady Chapell," Life of the Saints, and a Book for the organs. The collation of the manuscripts is carefully given in the inventory so that the copies might still be traced. From time to time printed books were bought, a Prymyr boke (366), Song book of the Psalms (74), Bibles (75), Psalters (89), Prayer book commanded by the King (152), Ordinals (89), Homily books (71), Book of Procession (284), Communion books (97), Book of the Pharasyres (103), or paraphrases of Erasmus. There were books issued for special occasions. Prayer Book for the King (320), for the Queen (296), for the Parliament (321), Book on the Earthquake (126), Book read during the I xiv \ : great plague (183), during the dearth, Book of toleration (200), Book to be read once a year (232), Book to be read on Fasting days (206), Prayers the Aparator brought to be read (212), Book of Ordinances of Presbytryal government (219), Book from his Majesty for the better regulating of preachers (336), The King's letter (346), The King's Declaration (344), Books of Canons ecclesiastical (336), Books of Injunctions and of Articles of Visitations (146, 290), the Book of Martyrs chained in the church, and many others. There were also paper books for prick songs (75), Register books of householders (134), of Christenings (132), of Banns (132), of Burials, of takers of the Sacrament (132, 326), of strange ministers (212, 343), of those buried in woollen (343). Receipts. The gatherings made at the church doors and in church on Good Friday, Easter eve, and Easter day, for the fabric and for church works, form generally the first item in the receipts ; then come the sums received for the Font-taper and Fulling-taper. The collections *' ad cerumfontis'' were made on Shore Thursday, Easter eve, and Easter day throughout the year. The cost of wax for this taper is charged in the accounts and there is a (36) charge for making a font taper to be used " tempore grave infirmitatis.'' The ** font taper and Deacon's wages" became one collection at St. Thomas's in 1548, and soon after the sum is entered as " Deacon's Wages and Halfpence at Easter," '' Offerings and tithes at Easter," or the " Easter Book." In St. Edmund's the Font-taper goes on until 1589, when it becomes " The Hawpence" for Easter dues, and so continues till 1641, when it seems to have merged into the Quarter Book. A small sum is occasionally entered as (Jasualties, which was money collected from those who had received the communion but whose names were not in the Easter Book. The Pascal money was paid by the parishioners when they " took their rights," which meant confession, absolution, and communion at Easter. The Pascal taper was blessed on Easter eve, was kept lighted till Holy Thursday, and was lighted again at Whitsuntide. It was elevated on a large stock, and entries occur for drawing and dressing the stock, for draught, light, 301b. wax to make the pascal, and for mending the case in which the taper was moulded. In 1491 there is a charge of one penny for coals to make holy fire on Easter eve : all lights were then quenched and fresh fire drawn from flint, and distributed by hallowed tapers. The Fulling taper was probably that in use at the purification of women, or it may have been the painted taper used at the feast of the Purification and symbolical of the "Light to lighten the Gentiles." Besides the Font taper and Pascal there were other lights supported by collections made in church, or gathered by guilds and fraternities which had their own stewards or wardens. The Rood light was sup- ported by the "devotion of the people" at Christmas (28), in front of it hung a trendel-wheel, and in Lent a stained veil of Osnaburg canvas. In the Lady Chapel there were Altar lights. Within the choir there was a lamp supported by a confraternity having a * proctor'; on i the high altar were Perchers and Paris candles, " the taper before the Sacrament," and on Christmas day "two torches of rosom.' Over the sepulchre at Easter a number of lights were fixed on pms of beech and ash. In the Nave there was a light " at the Image of the Cross with Mary and John painted and gilded with stars ; " the Confraternity or Guild of Jesus Mass and the Holy Cross supported the Morrow Mass or Holy Cross Altar, over which there was a tabiement : this mass was held at 6 a.m., and the accounts of the Confraternity are printed at page 248. There were besides " within the church" the Wife's Light (which was brought in by the waits on Candlemas day, the wives' feast day), the Lights of the Trinity, Maidens, Servants, of St. Christopher, and of St. James. There was a light for the visitation of the sick (36) and a lantern to carry (27) day or night with the Sacrament of the .^Itar. Mention is made of the Banner of St. Eustace, but not of a light. In the North Aisle was the Chapel of St. John Baptist with a hght, and apparently in 1473 with a rood loft. There were chapels or altars dedicated to St. Nicholas, St. Fabian, St. Sebastian, St. Juhan the Confessor, and St. Andrew. There was an altar to St. Lawrence with "grees" or steps in front and a ^sacringbell,' and there was a picture of St. Gregory with his three crowns. The Weavers' Guild had a chaplain who used the Morrow Mass altar. Besides the ceremonial tapers, there was an allowance for tallow candles "to say service by" in briima. Many of the altars had a skob with a lock and key to hold their orna- ments and books. In the cemetery was the Chapel of St. Catherine, which belonged to the adjoining College of St. Edmund and was alienated with it at its dissolution. It was supported by a charge on the living of Winterbourne Martin. Some of the lights were kept up by the hire of sheep given to support them (61—63). Under the title of Increases will be found entered the sums brought in by the various Confraternities or Guilds at their annual festivals. The stewards of each light received a certain sum as "stock," to be used in the best way they could in main- taining their light and promoting the success of their festival ; after deducting the expenses incurred from what they had collected, and retaining * stock' for next year, the balance or " increase" was brought in " to be hallowed," and given to the Churchwardens for Church works. The Weavers, Joiners, Bakers, Parchment Makers, Iremungers, and Shoemakers are among the crafts making offerings. The Guild of St. George, which was founded in the time of Edward HI., consisted of the 24 Aldermen and the 48 Councillors. It had its chapel festival on St. George's Day, when it carried " the Jorge harnysed" in procession to the Cathedral, to which it gave an oblation of 2Jd. in 1474. Its priest had a seat at the Mayor's table. Occasionally gatherings in kind appear to have been made. In 1482 a benevolence of lead was granted by the parishioners for roofing the church. Oblations and devotions of divers people to the Church, were re- ceived because of the Indulgentia (or remission) of the Pope, his letters, of old time granted to the Church of St. Edmund. The pardons were at Michaelmas and the Annunciation, and on these occasions the Hand and Ring of St. Edmund (53) and other relics were exposed to the 3S ^^M XVI I ! ' I faithful making oblations. Six bills were wiitten in English to declare the indulgence, and in 1471 a child was hired to keep the pardon at the Annunciation, and Eobert Glasyer to keep it at Michaelmas. The receipts are stated to be (33) - thydes and all costs quit," one third of ine oflermgs in early times having gone to Home. In 1480 (25) "all manner of pardons were annulled for a time by reason of the ludukence of bt. John of Jerusalem." The Knights of St. John were besieged at Khodes by Mahomet II., their situation was so urgent that a special efiort had to be made by the Pope on their behalf, and other bulls were temporarily suspended. Only the amount of wax actually used or wasted is charged for at these times. • ^^^H ^ toeQUests were made to the church either in money or m kind. They were sometimes made with the object of having the donor s nanie put on the bede roll (13), at others they seem to have been a continuation of the old corse presents taken by the priest, a form of beriot for neglected personal tithes. Some of the articles bequeathed are ve^ curious, but at a time when money was extremely scarce it was otten the only way in which a soulscot could be paid. A murray (or mulberry coloured) gown furred, a cloth of stamen (tammy), a simple gown, a brass pot. a brass maselin (mortar), an oak coflfer, broken silver spoons, rings, and jewels are among the articles bequeathed ; live stock such as bees and sheep are sometimes included. The bede roll gifts were otten tor such a consideration as this— to set tL(3 names of the donor, of his two deceased wives, and of his and their fathers and mothers, in the bede roll, so that when the parish priest rehearsed it from the pulpit the people there present might pray for their souls. Money to buy articles for the church or vestments for the priest was often given and the consideration was sometimes for a month's mind, six months' mind year s mmd, or for perpetual obits. By the canon 84 of 1603 the parson IS to urge men when they make their testament to leave some contri- bution to the alms chest. The capital sum of Pearce's legacy of £5 for the poor was used (p. 197) for repairing the church and interest at 8 per cent, paid to the alms box by the churchwardens for its use. Scotale, King ale and King plays appear to have afforded a certain revenue from 1461 to 1497. There is no mention of the locality in which the Scotale House or Taphouse was situated, but it was constantly kept in repair. A small street near the Church is still called Soott l^ane, and this may possibly be an abbreviation of Scotale Lane, although the usual explanation given is that it was the quarter of the Scottish Masons engaged in building the Cathedral. There is no purchase of malt for brewing, nor any revenue derived from the loan of brewing vessels, it is therefore probable that the ale iTor; w-iv^^S?® ^^^ ^^"^^* ""^^^y ^''®^®^ ^^^ sold at a profit. In V J. Vp ^ Kensington left a certain amount of malfc to the churches ot btapleford and South Newton which apparently brewed their ales, but to St. Edmund s he left 6s. 8d. for church works, and 20s. each to the Altars of Jesus and Holy Cross. The ale for the maundy is specially stated to have been bought by the covill from William Gryster and others. Ihe King ales were held on the weeks before and after Pentecost and at the Translation of St. Edmund. For each week one male and one xvii <> » female collector was appointed to preside, and any one who failed to preside (regnare) in his turn was fined 8d. Even^the Deacon was not excused without paying his fine. Ales were the great social gatherings of the parish, when all classes met together ; whenever the church pro- claimed a holiday it opened for the servant his master's door, at a time when a servant was often practically a bondman. An ale was the principal means employed in raising money for any extraordinary denaand. In 1461 the scotale, diversis jocalibus regibus et reginis produced ^23 8s. lOd., equal to nearly ^£300 at the present time. In Corpus Christi week 9s. lOd. is charged for the players' apparel and pro- perties such as chevrons or perukes of kid and hair, tow for hair, fustian, tinfoil, 34 dozen signajocalUs, writing the inscriptions, pix to collect the money, the hire of a woollen shroud, &c. The clerk's ales lasted until 1651 at St. Thomas' and 1697 at St. J^dmund s, and when they were abolished both the clerk and sexton claimed compensation for the loss of income sustained. ,, In 1490 the word "King" is erased and the representations then given alys plaies' were probably mysteries or miracle plays usually performed in summer m the choir. The mummers, who were musicians beloncring to the corporation, generally formed the orchestra on these occasionsr Among the receipts at St. Edmund's from 1499 until 1581 are the collections for church works at Hocktyde or *' feast of Hokkes" a tortnight after Easter ; it was usual then to stop passengers with great merriment by drawing a rope across the road and to refuse to let them go without a small ransom. In this way money was obtained *' from diverse wiff'es and maydens to save them from byndynge in Hok luysday,' "ad ciistodiendum illas a ligacione:' I have failed to observe that it was the custom here for the men to stop the women on one par- ticular day, and the women the men on another ; it is probable that during some part of the day each had their turn ; and the churchmen and the women appear to have gathered and brought in somethincr ''of the devotion of the people" ad fabricam ecclesiae. The Churchwardens paid 13s. 4d. in drinks for the men and women that gathered at Hock- tyde, and the women apparently had occasionally a dinner (57). At St. Thomases there is a common entry for "the gatherings at Hoktyde and on Frick Friday and this sum is received by the hands ot our wives and for the gatherings of the sons and daughters, and of the servants. Gatherings were also made and money received by the Churchwardens tor dancing, at Whitsuntide and at the May-pole dances. Occasionally these dances took place within the church and in 1490 there is a charge tor cleaning the church at the ' daunce of powles ;" a sum is also paid at another time for " a pece of Tymber for a ynner grounselle of Powlis ±>aunce (40). The Beden or Birch pole used at these daunces probably gave Its name to Beden Row running at one side of the Litton. There were also Children's dances and wives' dances until about 1613, from aU ot which a sum *' was gotten to the profit of the church.'' T J^A^^ ^^^^^®®^ ^^' Rogation week there were ceremonial processions like the Roman TerminaHa for the purpose of off'ering up litanies, or rogations for a blessing on the crops, and also for ' beating the bounds ' XTiii XIX It was a season of social concourse well described by George Herbert,* cakes and ale were distributed to the parishioners making the perambu- lation, and one parish received the visits of another. The ringers and banner bearers (29) of St. Edmund's were paid for bringing in St. Thomas's procession on the second day of Rogation week ; John Goode the Armorer charged for clensynge of Seynte George Harnys and Stroud for setting it on. The waits (63) were paid for bringing in the pro- cession and the ringers received money bread and drink *' in alle the Rogacione Weke and afterwardes in Holy dais scil Whitsontide, Trynyte Sonday, and Corpus Xpi day," or as it is elsewhere put on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in Cross week, on the procession day, and on Corpus Christi day. Receipts from Holy Water do not appear to have belonged to the parish, but between 1534 and 1540 at St. Edmund's, and at St. Thomas in 154)7, sums are entered as received from this source. It is probable from a note in 1540 that it was " the deacon's half," to which these entries referred, and that these occasional sums were only received when the deacon's office was vacant. Holy Loaf or holy cake was the continuation of the Eulogiae, or gifts of blessed (not consecrated) bread. It was usually baked along with the wafers at the Church House, but I have not observed any entries of obley irons, or flour, nor any evidence as to where the holy bread was baked. The bread is charged for, as also cakes on Ascension day (349) and Good Friday, and bread on Palm Sunday (73). The panis sanctificatus when distributed to the congregation was carried round ** in uno coffane" (58) and the collection was made at the same time. The first notice at St. Edmund's of the Holy cake as a receipt is in 1535, and a few years later it is stated that the deacon received '* a like sum." It w^as the practice for the priest and the churchwardens to divide the cost of the elements. When the Holy loaf cantell is dis- continued in 1587 a sum of similar amount appears until 1641 as ** bread and wine." Holy cake continues at St. Thomas's from 1547 to 1561, when a sum is entered ** instead of holy cake money." In 1580 it became " Communion money " or " Communion bread money," and was collected by a cantell book from districts usually described as the checker or street-block in which a certain inn was situated (214). The amount paid by each was a halfpenny, and 8d. was collected by the Clerk each week, going through the families in the cantell book in turn. ** Casualties" as has been said were sums received from communicants whose names were not in the cantell book. There was also an offertory after the celebration and in 1628 it was ordained that the bread and wine were to be paid for out of the ancient payment of the halfpence, and if that were insufficient out of the money collected after the com- munion. In 1633 a rate was ordered to be made throughout the parish for bread and wine for the communion, and the holy loaf to cease. In 1699 ** clerk's groats" are mentioned as a form of Easter dues. The Quarter-book or ''Easter Book" was begun in 1560 when the gatherings for the fabric and church works became insufficient. Special * George Herbert. A priest to the Temple. Ch. xxxv. The parson's con- desceudii^. S rates of a 3, 10, 12, or 20 years"* rate were sometimes made for ex- traordinary repairs, and any neglect to pay was met by the parator summoning and the beadle distraining. The Easter Book was the continuation of the font taper and pascal collections. Banns, Weddings, Churehings, and Christenings were all sources of income to the churchwardens. In the St. Thomas's Accounts in 1547 Holy Cake and Banns form a common item, which the Deacon shared. At St. Edmund's when knells disappeared in 1557, burials and christenings were entered as a receipt ; and a register of weddings, christenings, and buryings began to be kept, to which in 1560 Banns were added. These fees seem to have been collected by the clerk or sexton (125 — 7). A new register of christenings and burials was begun at St. Thomas's in 1569 and the old one copied into it. The fees for christenings are sometimes (141) called "christening pence." In 1611 " Wedding offerings" appear, and this is preceded by a note to the effect that xii'^ in the pound should be for the use and benefit of the church, and if this were so th« offerings themselves seem to have varied from £1 10s. to d£4. When the mew organs were being built the church- wardens used to appeal at weddings for help, and often received an offering ; " William Bedyn's jorneman, for his maredge 4d" is credited to the organ. At page 104 will be found a note that the junior churchwarden owed the church 7s. for 28 crysoms. The crysom was a fine white linen vestment provided by the parent and put on the child at baptism. It was worn for seven days and at the churching was presented to the priest and apparently sold again for the benefit of the church. At St. Thomas's in 1561 the crysoms were farmed out by the year. Money offerings were made at the purification of women. Until the time of Henry VIII. there was a charge for the Forthfare bell which was rung for those ** in extremis^'" as the soul was " passing" out on its journey, tempore exitus animae, tempore expirationum. It served not only to summon the priest to administer the last offices of the Church, but also to invite the intercessory prayers of the faithful. Knells were rung after death and unlike the passing bell were rung for those beyond as well as within the parish. Entries occur of the knells of "my lord Bishop" who died at Ramsbury in 1524 and of Lady Pembroke in 1549. Knells were paid for according to their duration and a 7 or 15 hours knell must have been a troublesome expression of grief to those who lived near. The canons in that behalf made limited knells (1636), and the sexton was ordered not to ring any knell above the space of an hour, and, * if after monition he should eftsoons offend therein,' he was to be removed from his place of Sexton. In two years he appears to have forgotten and offended again, his wages for the next quarter were stopped, " and if this admonition and punishment shall not amend him but that he transgress in the like manner, it is ordered that he lose and be put out of his Sexton's place." Forthfares and knells had been forbidden by the Injunctions of Bishop Hooper in 1551, but a hundred years later the practice continued and the sexton had 6d. for " passing the great bell one hour." Fees were paid for the hire of ornaments at funerals (42), the best or iii ^"*i !F— " (180) were repaired by tb, parish There does not seem ever to have been a separate rate made for the fabric and for the chattels of the church.

There was also a transept or Norrh and th^VWiV' «fd the Lady Chapel occupied the South, and St John Baptist's Chapel the North side aisles of the choir. Choir.— From these accounts we learn that there was a triple roof over the choir with its side chapels, which was at one time tiled and at another covered with " slates of stone from Ohilmark." Th.*re were lead gutters between the divisions of the roof, and these were reached by "gutter doors" (212). On the East end was a vane The roof within was ceiled and there were three lattices to keep out the i.igeons In the East end was the great window which required to be "Battled" by the Freemason in 1624. A portion of the chancel was cut off by a XTl! ''^''"'°* \T^^ "^ '<'*"'"g '•'">'" fo' "^« Preacher before and after the sermon and this was used at one time as a vestry and school- lr,nT^ J^' ^''* ""// *^" "^"'^ ^^« ^epa^ated from the nave by a rood-loft, screen, and doors. Besides this the North rood-loft in the XXT North cross aisle, was at first a rood-beam, but later a loft with sperys or screen on a stone base (15). The rood altar was used by the Morrow Mass priest (27), who had a skob near it to hold his portuoise. Within the choir was the High Altar of St. Edmund, which had a table with a canopy over it hanging by a pulley and a " vyse de assump- sione sub le canopy ad summam altare," probably for access when relics were exposed. There was a painted lenten cross (100) to be used when the crucifix was placed in the sepulchre. In front of the high altar was a stone step (27) covered with ' Dornyk' for the priest to kneel on. A table also stood bv the high altar (91), and there was another for the deacon and subdeacon. The parochial altar was apparently placed (40) on the South side of the clioir, with " a grayle lyeuge daily before j'e parisshe preste." 1 11 "^^^^ "*^"* "'"^ *^® P°°'' "'an's box" stood in the chancel to Hold the gi-eat books (120), but was taken up to the vestrv and (169) a bound wooden chest brought down instead. In the choir stood also the ' great chair,' which was of some size, for it was mended with 13 feet of board and rings of iron. There was also a great chair at the Altar of our Lady, and it is probable that these were used as pardon chairs' for confession ' in sight of the people ' Ihere is no mention of shryving pews, shryving houses, or confessionals ot any kind other than these. At the junction of the choir and transept was a picture of St. Gregory with his three crowns. In 1588 a painter was paid 2d. for "putting out his three crowns, ' and at the same time his triple crown was removed from another tablement in the church. The Tower stood between the choir and the nave, the transept or cross aisle passmg " under the belfry from the south to the nort^h door " Apparently when the tower began to sink in 16-23 the choir roof slipped away from the tower, and a cai-penter was brought from Devizes to mve his opinion; the East part of the choir meantime (176) was bolted up with treest and hooks, and the roof supported with oak props. The carpenter undertook to repair it at 3s. a perch, payable every Saturday night. ;., w.r w , '^ °" ''? ^'"'''^ ^'^^ ^"^ ''''^^^ "^e Sepulchre, dressed m Ho y Week and watched till Easter Day. All the charges for the sepulchre staples, posts, pins of ash and beech for the lights, masons' and painters' charges for fitting it up, and watchers for watching, or kepynge of the quyer door a nester day" (110), will be found in ekch pre-retormation account. Mats were (1594) provided for communicants to kneel on, in 1626 furmes for them to kneel at in the choir, and later a chancel rail and two short forms. A piece of wainscot (200) used to lie on the com- STr^O^' \\r' '^' '^''^'■" The choir was paved with square bricks (202), but the sexton (219) had occasionally to fill up hillow p aces, and make it clean and level, while the practice was prevalent of burying withm the church. In 1560 a painter wrote Scripture about in the church, and Moyse's tables were set at the high altar f in 1572 the Queen s arms and The Commandments were placed at the upper end ot tne choir ; the Queen s arms were more elaborately put up twenty years later, and 6d. was paid to a pursuivaunt probably for examining the XXVI heraldic portions of the work. lu 1650 the Mayor gave orders to wash out the King's arms, but at the restoration this whitewash was removed and the King's arms again *' made clear." Although writing was not so common then as now, boys appear to have been much the same, for in 1664 the churchwardens had the chancel washed to remove the names " which the boys rudely set in." They had even at that early date developed a taste for windoAv breaking (236) and had acquired a propensity for dropping articles on wor- shippers' heads below, so that it was deemed prudent not to allow boys to sit in the front seat of the gallery (325). The Tower had a belfry, bells, a clockhouse and steeple ; there was a *'treadin,or wheel" that served to wind things up into the tower, a turret for the day bell, a little bell or saunse bell on the W. part outside, and a vane on the S.W. pinnacle. There were battlements with a gutter and spout at the top of the tower, and above rose a steeple. In the construction of the steeple tlie staves of 33 wine pipes (367) were used to lay under the lead. There were louvre windows and weather doors in the steeple. On the top was a weather cock made by the tinker out of 211bs. of brass. The Belfry was approached by a stair undei* which the sexton kept his " necessaries belonging to the church." The floor of the belfry was made of grave stones, it had a loft and was fitted with a rail to hang the ringers' hats and cloaks on. It had after a time windows, and a door at the top of the stairs. The parishioners in 1619 granted a benevolence towards the building of the ''ringinge laughte," and the good wives, maids, and young men subscribed to the painting of it. In 1622 the churchwardens at a cost of 3d. placed a box in the ringing loft for the ringers' benevolence towards the maintenance of the bells, but so far as appears by these accounts the results were not such as to recoup them for this outlay. The Clockhouse was frequently repaired, and a dial in the church was connected by rods with it. The clock or horeloge had a peyse, rope, and roller, and above the dial was a spread eagle, which was subsequently sold (199). There was a little bell for the jack of the clockhouse. Repairing the Bells formed one of the most constant charges in the accounts. With the exception of Henry Penker or Pynker, who cast the bells in 1494, the names of the Salisbury Bellfounders are all given by Lukis. Besides the usual numbers applied to the bells there was at St. Edmund's the name of *' Walter Dawbeny" and at St. Thomas's of **Cole Taylor" given to two of the bells. There are also mentioned the great bell, the tenor bell, the little bell, the jack bell, the sexton's bell, the pancake bell, the 5 a.m. or day bell, the 6 a.m. or prayer bell, and the 7 p.m. bell, or continuation of the curfew, the little bell of the morrow mass altar and other sacring or sansom bells. The bells were cast at the founders, probably in Culver or Bell Founder street, and were drawn there on a sled. Their weight was given before and after casting, and any extra metal was paid for, or if there were any " brass remaining of the yote"* it was allowed for by the founder. The dust turnings when * The word yote is also used in St. Thomas's accounts where in lianging a door we read of lead for yotting in the hooks of the door. XXVll .. onni^u "^^^ *"°^^ ^^""^ «'®'' 8°'^- The great bell weighed in 1603. 29911bs., the 5th bell 23191bs., and the 2nd bell 10661bs. The following parts of bells are repaired or replaced .—The frame, pillows, bolsters, cnairs, bolts, locks, trussing keys, trussing nails, spraggs, and wedges ; tlie brasses on which the gudgeons played; the the gudgeons and jen- ■^kL I '="'^«"''a'l' «'acks and poUets. The bell welys are repaired in 1550, but no mention is made as to the form of wheel. In 1630 it was a 4 wheel, and was repaired with a hoop of iron by the cooper, and new stays and spokes. The stock, collar of the stock, bolts, bands, couples strops, scrj-pes, staples, and cotterells, are all replaced. • *u ?^ '-'■°PeS; varying from 21 to 281bs. each, stirrups, an iron crook m the belfry to hang the ropes of the bells on, boxes for the ropes to run in and a roller to keep them from fretting are all bought. When the canon of the third bell was broken off, the crown had to be bored tlirough, and there was a clamp to hold the crown of the great bell Ihe clapper was attached by a bawdrick or thong of white Hungary leather which passed through the eye of the clapper and the staple of tlie bell ; buckles for the clapper were sometimes bought, and the baw- dncks grafted ; the bowl of the clapper had to be repaired or altered in weight; and a new eye and stem to a clapper was on one occasion bought and warranted for a year and a day. A clapper was hired for a burial (dlO), but as the clapper of the great bell was broken that year, it mav not have been a "clapper" carried before the bier, but one for the bell. 3(olle, lard and tallow were used to lubricate the bells ; and in the winter tallow candles were bought to light the belfry for the 5 a.m. and 7 p.m "\^^^' f ".Pyfy"' ''""" ""^°?'

The occasions on which the bells were rung, and for which the church- waidens paid the nngers, are many of them very curious. There was ringing to sermon' and on " ffeastifuU dayes in the mornine'MSlD- Ascension Pentecost, the Feasts of our Lord God and Easterf also at the Christmas holidays and at Candlemas, when the candles for the year were bought and hallowed. The bells were ordered to be rung by' the ife'1?'° '«y ""P<"-**°t personage passed through the town ;^ in 1552 for the King s Grace Edward VI. on his way to Wilton, in 1576 for Sio ^o';." i''' '"'f^ ^■"" '' Portingalle! in 1605 for James I., t 1610 for the Prince of Brunswick, in 1646 when Sir Thomas Fairfax came through the town with his great guns ; and in 1665 for the TusSe Prince (Cosmo Grand Duke of Tuscany). On the other hand it was sometimes dangerous to omit ringing, the Marshal General of Lwd George Goring s Army fined the churchwardens 10s. for not ringS when he passed through. ""gmg Many national events were published in this way— King Henry VIII 's burial; Mary's accession; the anniversaries of Ehzabeth's Vadous reign ; her escape from the Babington conspiracy ; and the beheaS of Mary Queen o Scots (296) ; the triumphing day n 1592 for the S victory against the Spaniards by the mighty? hand of God (297) ? the triumph in Ireland in 1601 ; the escape of' James I. 1608 GowrS c2 I XXVlll I I treason, commemorated on 5th August, 1609 ; the gunpowder treason of the papists; on the safe return of the Prince in 1622 from Spain, and again when the news came that the match was broken ofl* between the Prince and the Infanta of Spain, the bells expressed the popular feeling of the time. Four lynkes, three staff torches and candles were provided '*at the chaunge of the Queens majesties reigne of the Xlllth yeare, and seven ringers were engaged at that solempnitie." Local events were also in the same way announced from the steeple ; the bells were rung for the Whitsun daunce, the weavers' feast, the choosing of the Knights of the Shire in 1685, in 1585 for the race, and m 1646 on the Race day when the Earl of Pembroke's horse won the cup. The races had existed for many years, but were remodelled in 1645, when Lord Pembroke merged his Golden Bell into the Cup after- wards competed for. The ringers it would seem were in the habit of importuning the congregation for tips ''to the annoyance of the parishioners," and their salaries were raised from 12s. to 18s. on condition that they would forbear begging of any one in future. The Clerk and the Sexton were apparently given to similar practices and were ordered to retire to the vestry after the celebration, and not wait about the doors to collect money. ^^ When St. Thomas's bells were recast in 1661 Wm. Purdew undertook " to make a verrij compleat and tunable Binge of six bells to the note of St. Edmund's six bells or within a q'ter of a note." The chimes at St. Thomas's and the Jack required frequent repair. New rods, staff, stick and keys, hammers, vone, payzes, gynne, eyes, wires, spring, poUet' cable, and roller are charged for. The Nave like the choir had two side aisles, with a triple roof, which was slated and ceiled. A copper lamp hung from the roof by 'a cord. There was a great west window, which in later times was curtained with green serge (218), and a great west door, over which a gallery, as has been said, was erected when the font was removed. The font, which still exists, is of great size, and required |cwt. of lead to mend'it. It was provided with a proper cover. The south porch was secured by a vectis which could be locked, and through it entrance to the church was gained by the ' wedding door.' It was a two-storey porch with windows, and Todd the brewer was buried in it. The upper room or parvyse was the sexton's chamber, and was reached by a vyse or spiral staircase, at the top of which was a door on to the leads secured by a 'hanging' lock, while the door at the bottom of the stair had a ' stock' lock, and the church door had in 1478 a ' padlock and thruste bar,' another had a frog lock, hasps and staples and the vestry a ' hart lock' (323). Over the wedding door was a gallery for the Free School (1636), and there was a draught screen or " paling ex utraque parte portici ecclesiae,'' with doors in it that locked. The Holy water stoup stood near the South door, and the bucket for filling it required frequent hooping and repair. The aisles were paved with tombstones. There was at St. Edmund's a ** dexe to read the littanie upon." The pulpit used to be the place from which the parish priest rehearsed the XXIX > bede-roll, but when preachers were established in every parish, and when, at the expense of ceremonial, preaching took a more important place in the service, the pulpit was (1598) enlarged, and had a tester, canopy, and valence ; it had also a cushion stuffed with flocks, fringed and tasseled, and a pulpit cloth which in 1651 was considered by some of the congregation to be of an offensive colour, and was forborne to be laid. There was an hour glass standing in an iron frame on the bible-desk. At St. Thomas's a Litany desk was put up in 1569 ; but the word desk was also used for the stool the Priest knelt upon. A Lecture seat is mentioned. A " powlpete chochinge" was here too an important piece of furniture ; it was covered with satin and a board had to be put on the pulpit to support it. There was a ' top' to the pulpit, which was carried in 1629 to our Lady Church. In 1602 the proclamation and table were written up beside the pulpit. At St. Edmund's the nave had to be strengthened by three buttresses, which were put up by contract by Thomas Foot the freemason ; he did his work honestly, but it proved a ' hard bargain,' and the church- wardens allowed him ^3 more. When the tower fell the whole nave was pulled down. The walls were pargetted, and outside they were defended ' from weather inconvenient' by casting and strawing on them rubrish from the lime pits, or as it is termed at St. Thomas's by ' rowcasting.' A cement was used of lime, sand, and smith's dust for soddering the font stone, and the church was pointed with plaster of Paris, which was always freshly burned with coals before use. The Nave had chapels, altars, and lights, the chapels being separated from the body of the church by a perclose. Organs.— A pair of organs is spoken of in the same way as a pair of bellows, and the earliest mention of the ergans at St. Edmund's occurs in 1475. It is probable that this organ consisted of a single row of pipes, and that it was used chiefly to pitch the notes and keep the singers in tune ; consequently we have no record of any organist being employed, and it is certain that it must have been a very simple instrument, since the repairs " at divers times" only amounted to lOd. In 1517 new organs were built at a cost of £16, and fifty years later a still more ambitious instrument was constructed. When postage was unknown it was usual to send horse messengers to Bristol (68), Taunton (69), Winchester (148), Hindon (72), Andover (112), Chilmark (112), London or wherever the business of the parish required. On this occa- sion a horse messenger was paid 5s. to carry a letter to Hugh Chap- lington, the organ maker of South Molton (75), inviting him to build an organ, which he agreed to do and received xii^ as an earnest. He began the work on August 22nd, 1567, and finished it on November 6th of the same year. The various parts were all made on the spot, and the number of white wine casks to make the pipes, the quantity of ehn board for the bellows, syllinge board, wainscote, of lead, tin, tin-glass, Jean-fustyan, pamphyllon, Hungary leather, calves' skins, sheep's skins, glue, brown paper, wire, pack thread, nails, &c., are all given at page 113, as are also the sums paid for bice, gold, synyper lake, brasell, and other colours used in its decoration. The builder received for makmg this organ a fee of £12, and 20s. more was ordered by the VWAM XXX masters to be paid him as a reward ; the materials cost £22 12s. lOd. For this great organ it was necessary to appoint a professional organist,* and Thomas '* Blewatt" was engaged at a salary of £S, and a seat was erected and surrounded by curtains on which "Bluet" might sit and play. ^ The " little organs'* were not got rid of when this new organ was built, but were still kept in repair. The organ of St. Edmund's is not without some degree of interest in the history of music — Harry whose tuneful and well measured song First taught our English Music how to span "Words with just note and accent * was the nephew of the Rector of St. Edmund's. In 1568 St. Thomas' Church had a similar organ built by the same builder at almost the same cost, £S5 5s. 6d. When a later organ was built for this church in 1738 a Musical Meeting, and aji Ordinary attended by 100 gentlemen, was held at the Mitre (353)— a device for raising the money (£'230) in which we may trace the germ of the modern hospital or charity dinner. T^e Vestpy of St. Edmund's appears to have been adaptt^d from the Chapel of St. Catherine, at least the altar in the vestry was pulled down (99). It was a two-storey building, the upper floor being the Treasury House or High Vestry, which was strewn with rushes. The coffer for the registry books was kept here, and like all coffers that the church possessed with more than one lock, it was apt to require ripping open from time to time, when the rector or either of the churchwardens hap- pened to mislay a key. Coal and Frankinsence were used to air the vestry, probably in the time of the plague. TJie Vestry was moved to the upper end of the choir, and the clerk was allowed to have the old vestry for a house and school. The furniture of a vestry in 1()88 was a new press for ye vestments, a wainscot cubbert, six new Rushey Lether chairs, a pair of Iron dogges, a pair of tongs and fire shovel, a pair of angirons and 1 pair of brass candlesticks, a nt;\v box, a new trunk, and 2 Acts of Parliament, 1 for highways and 1 for ye poore. There was a Storehouse in which the 'Moose ends of timber" and all material belonging to the church were kept. The minister in 1609 was allowed the use of part of it for a school, so that he might move his school out of the church. The walls were ''braided," and when the school ceased to be kept in the storehouse the sexton was allowed to set up a loom in it. The lead which always formed an important item in church repairs was kept in the plummery, the gutters and pipes being cast on the spot. It was in *' Sows and pigs," the main channel into which it was run when melted, with a row of secondary channels at each side, bearing a fanciful resemblance to a sow suckling pigs. Collections or benevolences of lead, as has been said, were sometimes made in kind for church use. The Sexton's House adjoined the clerk's garden, into which he was allowed to make a door, in order to use the clerk's well, provided he did no prejudice to the clerk's vine or fruit trees. The house had how- * Milton, Sonnet xiii. ► XXXI ever a garden of its own and (241) when the sexton died his widow was allowed to retain two rooms and part of the garden. At St. Thomas's Widow Jeffrey (343) for a time filled the office of sexton. The Workhouse is mentioned in 1478, when an interclose was made in it, and repairs occur from time to time. The churchyard, Litton, or Cymiterium was entered by a Lychgato and the way before the lychgate (363) was mended as early as 1476. A wall passed from the lychgate to the provost's gate (30), and we learn that an arched porch led into the vestry (235). A style and a whirligog (365) are mentioned, both of which had iregere or iron gear, a bolt, lock, and key. There were also a gate and 3 doors, one of which required a pillar and 3 paramades to be turned for its repair. The path to the porch was paved ; the wall of the litton was built of wattle and mud (165), and carts were kept back from it by standing-posts. A ditch was dug and the earth thrown up to form a rampart around the town from city-gate to city-gate. This passed across the Greencroft and College grounds and down by the north side of the church to the river ; not being a natural waterway there is a constant charge for " casting the river against the church wall" or " ryddiug the ditch," and for repairs to the church hatches at the lower end of the litton. The highways and water-banks in Beden Row were also frequently ordered to be repaired. Those injuring the churchyard were presented at law (241), but at one time it became the custom to drive carts and wagons through the churchyard and the cart entrance was narrowed so as only to admit a corpse (218). Among the trees planted were 16 English elms at 2s. 6d. and 3 sycamores at 3s. ' Cepis' were put round trees to defend them from cattle. Joistment cattle were a source of annoyance to the St. Edmund's Church Wardens, coming sometimes into the porch and even into the church itself. There were frequent difficulties about ownership of the churchyard, from the church property so far as it was collegiate having passed by Act of Parliament to Henry VIII. ; it re- mained in the Crown until 7 James I., when it passed through several hands and was ultimately conveyed to the parishioners, reserving the churchyard, ditch, and wall. It will be seen that this reservation gave rise to endless suits (95) and ultimately the churchwardens determined to grant a fresh lease of the churchyard (193), empound the cattle and proceed by ejectment to try their title. Seventy years before, the Church- wardens had to pay 26s. 8d. for one of the lessee's cows that apparently escaped and died in the Pound (105). Besides keeping the fences, gates and paths, it was the Churchwardens* duty to keep the Litton free from weeds (361) or nettles, and ale is given and money paid to men for pulling these up, weeding divers anoysance, or cleaning nocumenta about the church (362). At St. Thomas's, where houses adjoined, it was necessary to restrain the neighbours from making sinks and gutters in the churchyard. Even the roof was invaded, and Wool was ordered not to be dyed on the leads of the church (325). In 1474 as has been said the Litton of St. Edmund's was polluted (18), and a messenger was sent to get the Suffragan to rehallow it. The Churchyard of St. Thomas's Parish was closed for seven years, and the level gradually lowered by removing a " half foot kerfe" yearly, and conveying it to the Cathedral yard (352). During this period in- terments took place at the Cathedral. I I u i ! XXXll There was a Skull house at St. Thomas's, which after the visit of the Commissioners in 1687 was ordered to he emptied and repaired. St. Edmund's Fair was held in and around the churchyard, where stalls or standings were let to cheesemen, butchers, tanners, and divers other craftsmen. A similar fair, St. Mary's Fair, was held within the Cathedral precincts, and the nails required for the j^ear appear to have been bought at this fair (95). These nails are usually described ac- cording to their price per 100, j>ro chivis rocatis threepenny nails (4G), sixpenny nails, or tenpenny nails, while larger ones called ''double tens" (168) were sold retail at four a penny, the price per 1000 being cheaper (98). There were also *' strok nails'* for the door (299). These fairs were probably survivals of the time when traders pitched their wares m churchyards, and claimed the protection of the Church to exempt them from toll and stallage due to the local authorities. The charges for repairs at St. Thomas's are much the same as those at St. Edmund's, and from them we learn tliat it consisted of a Nave with a North and South Aisle, a Choir with a Lady Aisle, the Tailors Light in Swajnie's Chantry in St. John's Aisle, Penruddockcj Chapel, a rood beam and later a rood loft, which was taken down in 1561. There was a trendel over the porch ; Moyse's tabk-s and the Queen's Arms adorned the choir, and " Scripture was written up" in the church and porch. There were steps leading up from the nave to the choir close to the Masters' pew ; the Serjeants' seats were provided with a crook and loop, and mace frame, to display the insi^^nia of office. In the east window was a representation of the Creation, from which the figure of the Father was removed by Mr. Subdean's orders. There were forms for the poor, and two seats under the wall for tho charity children. There were sundials on the south and west sides of the tower, a gilded vane and a weathercock. A hole allowed the bells to be lowered through the belfry for repair. The ' sansom bell' had a 'chayne,' the other bells had ropes, and there was a hand-bell or ''clapper" which was lent for buri.ils. Smoke-farthings, Smoke-silver, and Pentecostals an^ in these accounts synonymous. A tax of Id. on each hearth was collected from Saxon times on St. Peter's Day and sent to support the English College in Kome, hence its name Rome-scot or Peter-pence.* The share required of the diocese of Sarum in the 13th century was £7, and of this the contribution paid by St. Edmund's as "our offering at Our Lady Church, for olde custom," was 5s. Ojd., and by St. Thomas's 6s. 8d. The tax had been forbidden by Edward III., and its first occurrence in these accounts is in 1510. It was diverted from Rome by Henry YIII. in 1534, but restored by Mary in 1556. From that time onwards it will be found continued as Pentecostals. The sum collected was usually less than the amount paid, and the difference was charged in the accounts. In early times it was taken to the Cathedral by a procession, but latterlv was paid to the sumner (79), subdean's man (125) or the parritor (294), by the officials of each church. Observance and Labour.— A curious entry occurs in 1491 of a reward given among six young men doing obseivance and labour in the * Blount's Fragmenta Antiquitatis, p. 317. Minchiuliampton C. W. Accounts, 1575, "peter pence or smoke-fai-tliings sometime due to the Antichrist of roomc." 11 XXXlll week of Christmas from the Church of St. Edmund to Our Lady Church. The reward consisted of Id. paid for pyn'ys. ' Points and pins' were used as rewards, and were played for by children.* There are several entries of sums paid in this way to the children after the perambulations at Rogation tide. The observance may have been in connection with the creche, or the torchlight processions to the Cathedral in Christmas week held by the Mayoress and Mistresses in memory of Beauchamp. Stipendiary noble or Priest tenth.- Under this title 6s. 8d. is paid in 1582. In many of the earlier accounts 6s. is a usual payment to the parish priest * for the prayers of the bede roll.' In 1595 the " curattes stypendaries" are 15s. (301). From very early times the Churchwardens appear to have taken means to guard the church and parish against loss by fire. Buckets of leather were frequently repaired and occasionally a dozen new ones were bought. As these were used at any fire in the neighbourhood they were marked so as to be easily identified afterwards. These buckets were used when Wilton House was burnt. In later times a Hydrant (iurrant) and Fire Engines were bought (349). Clap-nets for sparrows were also kept and lent, but no head-money is paid for vermin destroyed. There were always tools to be bought and paid for every year, as well as other useful articles required for the church. Borrirs (206). handsaws, wimbells, bits, hatchets, ham- mers, pyaxes, and " long besomes to strike down the wevet" were constantly in demand and bought, while pulleys and large cables were borrowed either from the Cathedral or from some other church. The rates of Wages will be seen to have increased steadily during the last four hundred years, even when allowance has been made for the difference in the value of money. In 1450 the helyer was paid 6d. a day, and this was the usual wage paid to skilled labourers, such as masons, carpenters, &c., although less was sometimes given ; the man who served them received 4d., and sons or apprentices about the same. In 1550 a plummer had Is. 3d. a day, a carpenter lOd., his prentys 8d., and his labourer 6d. In 1650 a mason's wages had risen to Is. 4d. a day and his boy's to lOd., besides Id. a day drink-money. The prices of material have similarly greatly altered in the same time. In 1450 tiles were 6s. 8d. per 1000, crests Is. 6d. a dozen, slates from Chilmark Is. 8d. a load, tile pins 8d. a bushel, stone lime Is. 2d. a quarter, hair Is. 5d. a peck, lead 6s. per cwt., tin 3d. per lb., tar Is. per gallon, glass 3d. per foot, solder 8d. per lb., glue 4d. per lb., oil 4d. a pint. Ale cost Is. 6d. per covil. Coals (charcoal) in 1511 were 4d. a sack. In 1546 a coarse cloth called Oscon brigges cost 4d. a yard ; it was made at Osnaburg and was used for a lenten veil. Three nails of Tartersaten cost xiiii'*, and this was used for mending a vestment called * gratys' (35). A piece of Bawdekyne for making children's tenables cost 12s., and Cresecloth for hning them cost 5d. an ell (37). Of Dornex, inferior Tournay damask bought for a pall, Sendal, a fine linen and silk stuff used for pyx-palls (373), Dowle, a coarse cloth made in Picardy, and Satin -a-Brydges, which came from Bruges, the prices are unfortu- nately not given. In 1556 sewing crewels cost 6s. per lb., ferret silk * Herrick's Hesperides, p. 113 (1891). r I K XXXIV Is. 3d. an ounce, Lockram, a coarse linen cloth made in Brittany, Is. 3d. an ell ; a cloth of Stamen, or tammy, cost 8s., and Flemish cloth 7d. per ell (371). A quire of Koyal paper cost lOd., and Spanish iron was IJd. per lb. The board of the Deacon at the Saracen's Head was Is. 7d. per week. The first notice of standard weights and measures appears in 1587, when a proclamation and table were issued. Nonsenches, Vails, or little extra payments entered very largely into the rewards for services of all kinds. There were nonesenciits to diverse labourers (15), 2d. to the bellfounder's boy, nometes Jd. a day for the hehers, 'none metys' for the carpenters, drinks at no'thyde, and ' morning beverages.* In Wiltshire at the present time the agricultural labourer rests his horses and sits down under the hedge at mid-day to take his '* nammit," or noonmeat. In the gang week the ringers and banner bearers had their ale ; and so had the men and women that gathered at Hoctyde ; masters in the vestry sent for wine and cake when My Lord Bishop was here first (99) ; for bread and cheese and ale when the steeple was pulled down ; ale for the masters on the County day (98) ; for cakes and wine when Sir Giles gave the churchyard (208) ; the singing men and quyrysters of Jesus Mass (268) had figs and drink in Lent after the salve, and the clerk that sang the Gospel in Holy Week had his ale. The ringers and the clerk were on the outlook for tips on all occasions, so that they were occasionally polit(;ly requested to keep out of the way (352) ; the sexton and his boy had a pair of shoes ; his wife and two children had black frise to make them gowns when they took great pains to keep the church and the lamp clean ; the curate claimed his livery (297) and the minister '* challenged" a gown or 10s. 6d. (308) when Master Mayor was not of the parish ; the boy that sang in the choir had a fustian coat and pair of breeches (292), and the curate's son was similarly rewarded (295); the clerk had his ''day of collection," and he stipulated that he should be allowed to choose his own day, his experience having taught him that some days were better than others ; but it was not till 1665 that the Ringers had "tobacko and pipes" (240) added to the beer; and in 1667 the same luxuries were supplied " when the vestry mett" (343). Law Expenses. — Many curious items will be found of '* costis spente in the lawe." In 1523 an executor was slow to hand over ** the moldes that Myllys gave to the church" (68), and consequently the Chapter Clerk had twice to be engaged as proctor for the church, for which he was paid a single fee of 3s. 4d. 8d. was charged for a copy of the tes- tament, 4d. for sealing ' the Inibition,' 14d. for the absolu<;yon of John Millis, 4d. for the answer of the church, and 2s. 4d. to brynge Jone Myles before Mr. Chawncellar. The costs of the suit were 9s. 2d. Costa in the Nisi Prius Court were equally moderate (81), the return of the writ was 2s., the recording 6s. 8d., the clerk of assize 2s., the marshall 2s., the crier Is., the clerk of assize for recording of the jury by default 2s., the crier 4d., wine at Henry Colstone's 3s. 8d., the attorney 8s. 6d., and Master Yorke 6s. 8d. In 1551 John Beckingham illegally took down the trees in the church- yard, and the plaintiffs in the suit seem to have been the churchwardens not the rector ; at least Mr. Hopper is described as our attorney, and he i ,"► : I XXXV received a fee of 20s., but this was unfortunately for him at a time when " the shilling came to ninepence" (95). The churchwardens always appear to have been willing to settle suits pending " by a frendlie composition if it male be reasonablie done, how- soever our title be conceyved to be good, and that we maye prevayle by suite of Lawe" (187). The Queen's silver for the Mynister (302) in 1596 was 13s. 8d., but for the levying of what fine this was paid does not appear. The parator summoned those who refused to pay their rates not in the civil but in the ecclesiastical courts (317), and the Bidle carried off and praised the " Strained goods" (232) of those who were "put in suit." Arresting John Mace cost 12d. (154), but we are not told why he was arrested. There were also certain petty expenses of a quasi legal cha- racter, such as red wax " for divers munymentes and evidences to be sealed." A Herald's pursuivant received the modest fee of 6d., but the nature of the service performed is not mentioned ; the 6d. paid, page 103, was probably for examining the correctness of the royal arms "flourished" in the church. Receipts were not demanded in early times as a right, and if required there is an extra charge paid, "quittance for the subsidee 4d." (295). Poor Relief. After the suppression of the religious houses the voluntary contribu- tions to the "poor man's box" were insufficient to meet the calls upon it. Parish funds were collected by a rate and " a poor book" was drawn up, containing a list of those in receipt of relief. Besides these the Justices appear in 1570 to have sent casual poor to the churchwardens who thereupon gave relief "by the Major's commandment," "assign- ment," or " allowance," and sometimes " at the entreaty" of the Rector. Among the sums thus paid occurs to " Father Coxe at his Wife's burial 3s. 4d.," in 1571, and " for the shroud and burial of a poor soldier 3s." in 1588. Distressed " Passengers" who had " passes to travel and asked relief" were constantly assisted, and their claims to compassion are duly set forth. A poor woman who was a preacher's wife, and had 13 children ; an Irish gent ; a poor Irish lady. Lady Tracy ; an Irish doctor's widow; a shipwrecked Welshman, and others who "had great loss by sea ;" the Dean of York's daughter : a poor distressed man taken by the Dunkerkes ; a mad gentlewoman ; one Thomson sick in the small-pox and his wife near her travail ; two outlandish distressed gentlemen ; a poor German minister ; captives redeemed from pirates, or from slavery ; are among the objects of charity sent to the church- wardens. The demands on the church funds became so serious that in 1636 an order was made that no churchwarden should give any church money out of the church stock by way of relief " either upon' his own head" or by direction of any other person, but the overseers of the poor were to be recouped out of the poor box for what they had given to the poor. Profane swearing sometimes swelled the receipts for the poor ; Joseph Goddard, of West Harling, Essex, was fined £7 13s. 4d. in 1651 fur XXXVl XXXVll ut i i I this offence. In the same way money spent in customary hospitality on the signing of legal documents was sometinn^s given to the poor instead of being spent in "cakes and wine" (336). Highway expenses enter systematically iuto the accounts from 1682, and were met by a rate in 1690, this amounted to 2d. in the £1 on the assessment of the Land Tax granted to their present Majesties. A list of surveyors was made at a parish meeting and the Mayor and Justices chose officers from it at special sessions. Changes in the Church Services and discipline are easily traced in this volume. A pre -reformation revival is evident at the opening of these accounts, and was due to the efforts of Binhop Beauchamp to remove from the church that condition of things against which Lollardism was an active protest. One means adopted by him was the canonization of St. Osmund ; for the observance of this festival on 17th July a special indulgence was granted ; the History of St. Osmund was bought in 1475 and read to the people to stir them up to give oblations and avail them- selves of this pardon. In Henry VIII.'s reign the changes that took place were more political than doctrinal ; the six Articles left the main points of Catholic belief untouched. The Italian Bishop of Salisbury who was intended to help Henry politically having failed him, Shaxtoii was appointed in 1535 to supersede Campeggio. The '' Bill to the Bishop" will be found entered, and in the same account the Churchwardens did what was expected of them at a time when ready money was very Hcarce, and gave 2s. to the ** Queen's servants" who accompanied Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. to Salisbury. The changes most observable are the gradual substitution of the vernacular in the service, the purchase of a Bible, and " the putting out the three crowns of Pope Gregory," which were designed as blows rather directed against Koman language and Roman influence, while doctrine and ritual practically remained untouched. With the injunctions of Edward VI. came however the evidence of a complete change of teaching; images are broken down, pictures, altars, vestments, and plate are removed : the church m hitelimed ; masses and obits are abolished; the former books are supplanted by an omyle book, an ordinal and the new communion book ; all the old books are sent to our Lady Church ; a glass and plate are bought for the communion and the communicants are seated on " forms" around the " communion board." The elements were administered in both kinds, but by whom they were suppHed at this time does not appear, and the labour of celebrating (after the abolition of chantry priests) when the communicants at St. Edmund's numbered more than 1700, and at St. Thomas's 1650, must have been very severe. The expense was probably met by the Holy loaf cantell.* Later wine, and the " singing bread" or " serving bread" are charged in the accounts. Under Mary in 1553 mass books, manuals, portys, hymnary, anti- phonar, and Grayle returned for a brief period, paper and ink were bought to make a new song for the Salve, and drink was provided for the singing men who sang it on the five Sundays in Lent ; the altar, the font taper, the pascal, a latten ship and holy water pot, the first mass * See pages 187 and 198 as to holy loaf up to 1633, and 252 as to singing bread and wine for Jesus Mass. '» > altar, the saunce bell, cross, vestments, and sepulchre were all restored, and their cost will be found in these pages. Then with Elizabeth came a return to the middle way of Henry VIII., the Act of Uniformity in 1559 enforced the 2nd Prayer-Book of Edward Al. '' John Atkyns and a mate" carried the Latin books to our Lady Church once more, and a book of the Homilies and two little psalm books were bought. By the Injunctions each parish had to provide one copy of Udal's translation of the Paraphrases of Erasmus on the Gospel and Acts, to be placed in the nave of the church, and each clergyman had to provide another copy for his own use in the choir. The Churchwardens of St. Thomas's paid 13s. 4d. for the book, but those of St. Edmund's, rendered cautious by the frequent changes they had seen, wtic content to pay 18d. on two occasions " for the loan of a book called the Pharasyres." After the dissolution of the religious houses preaching sank to a low ebb, and in the time of Edward VI. and Elizabeth, special persons were licensed as itinerant preachers, who practically took the place of the predicant friars, and were in the habit of forcing their discourses on any parish ''as if they were apostles." In many of the accounts Id. and 2d. will be found paid for " ringing to a sermon," and money is also paid to the preacher. It was not until later that a sermon came to be expected as a regular part of the service. In 1602 it was stipulated that four sermons should be preached a year, and for these the usual payment was 10s. (151, 154); while benefactors of a still later date frequently endowed a sermon. When a sermon was preached at St. Thomas's Church the St. Edmund's people apparently attended, for they adjourned their vestry " until to-morrow after evening prayer at the end of the sermon at St. Thomas's Church." Very early in the 17th century the pulpits became much enlarged, and hour glasses and cages were provided, an hour being the usual length of a sermon. An unusual compliment will be found paid to the curate in 1725. The vestry thanked him for his sermon preached at the opening of the new Charity School, and desired that it should be printed at tlie charge of the parish (353). The gradual growth of puritanism can be clearly traced until we find it culminating in the Recorder, Henry Sherfield, destroying a painted window at St. Edmund's, which gave a representation of the Father in the creation. He had received permission, if he chose, to substitute plain for stained glass, but he preferred to break the window publicly with his staff as a protest. For this he was punished by the Star Chamber, Laud, who though a disciplinarian, was strictly just, explain- ing that although sacred art might be within its province in depicting the humanity of Christ it could not be defended in an attempt to represent the Father, yet granting this, nothing could justify contempt. But it was a puritanical mind of the highest development which could find fault with the colour of a pulpit cloth and direct that it be '* for- borne to be laid, for the colour is offensive in the sight of some of the parishioners." At St. Thomas's also, as has been said, the picture of the Father in the east window was put out (294) in 1583 by Mr. Sub- dean's commandment. In 1632 the sum of lOd. was paid for " setting on the chaines to ye Bookes of Martirs." XXXVUl Thiough tbe troubled period that followed we get glimpses from tim« to time of he struggle that was going on. Mr. tS. LT^a sent to London to retain a solicitor to defend the wit Zl, flf^ T of St. Edmund's for refusin- to pay first frnit7 T . % o ^ '""*°'' to obtain a power of rating.

This seems to have gone on for many years, but in 1029, with the Laudian revival in Church discipline, we find a memorandum that the churchwardens are not to provide any more claret, but muscadine only. There is no note as to whether the masters and mistresses communicated at the same hours as the parishioners generally. It was a common custom in parishes where the communicants were very numerous to divide the district into circuits, so that the celebrant " should not be over toiled," and to take these in turn on separate Sun- days ; whether the circuits described here had any such purpose does not seem clear. Visitations were periodically held by the Subdean, Bishop, and Arch- bishop, at which presentments were made by the Churchwardens. No mention of Confirmation occurs. The Subdean by his Somner summoned his synodsmen or sydemen. Early in the 14th century twelve men worthy or confidence for St. Edmund's on St. George the Martyr's day, and fifteen for St. Thomas' parish on the Wednesday following, formed his court. To this court presentments for perjury, defamation, neglect of the offices of relijOfion, violating the Sabbath, incontinence, or other breaches of the moral law were made, and occasionally other matters, such as the removal of ' ' the picture of the Father in ye East windowe" (294) were brought before it. ** Searching and viewing" the church appears to have been a necessary ceremony on these occasions (79). "Million the peritour for warning the syde men to Mr. subdene's visitacion" received 4d. (138) and 6d. was paid " for the Articles at the visitacion of the sub dene's visiting." *' A bill" was prepared to be delivered to Mr. Subdean, which cost 6d. for making (129), and a fee varying from a shilling to one shilling and tenpence was paid " to the cleark for receiving our presentment," with " 4d. to the parrator for giving the oath at the visitacion" (14G, 148, 157). After 1662 four sidesmen appear to have been regularly appointed. Bishop's Visitation (165), the parator for warning the churchwardens, the prator for warning (147), or the Somner (75), for bringing his prosses (132) for the sidmen to appeare at y** Bushopes visitation (141) 6d. A fee of Is. lOd. on delivering u^f the ** bill of presentment at the visitation courte" (147) was paid to the officers who received it (165). The ringers were remembered " when my Lord Bishoppe whent his visitation," and in the case of a new Bishop the Churchwardens spent '^ 8d. for wyne and cake when my lord byshopp was here ffyrst" (99). Latterly they charged their own personal expenses when attending visitations on a more lavish scale, but a minute was passed in 1692 giving 15s. as the maximum to be spent by the Churchwardens at one visitation (244). The Bishop saw that the arrangements of the church were in order; he directed (1662) the seats under the East window to be removed and "the communion table with railes there decently placed," and that the font be restored at the West end, and that none but parishioners *' shall have any interest in any seates." The Archbishop's Visitation.— When my lord of Canterbury held his courte either personally or by his Vicar-General the Churchwardens ,f ■I \i xl paid the charges for the articles and for the officers ; hut' here Mr. oflicial s charges were usually higher, for the apparator of an Archbishop was a gentleman apparator." When Laud hold a visitation throuah bir iNathaniel Brent, his vicar-general, Gs. 8d. wan the fee of the '' Gent* Apparator '(202) ; and 10s. was paid for - tho order removinge ve Organs, and reversing that order." Besides these usual visitations presentments wore made to the Court Leet or to Special Commissioners, who occasionally held enquiries in the church, " at the George Inn" (82), or elsewhere. In the com-se of these accounts there are manv parts of the citv named which are not now in existence. The Broad Gate, Milford Bars and the other gates are gone, but when the organs were built Gd. was paid 'for custom at the gate. Beden or Bedredyn (53) Row was pro- bably Bedwyn Street ; Water Lane and the Dyers Bridge were in Castle Street ; Lndle s Street is now corrupted into Endless Street, and is almost the only street that has an end; the Guildhall was then in existence; Wynman Street was Milford Street; Winchester Street ex- tended to Castle Street; Drakyn or Drake Hall Street is now Exeter Street, and l^isher Bow is mentioned. Culver Street was also called Bellfounder Street, in 1318 it had been called Yottlebell Street ; and Gygore Street is now Gigant Street. It is probable that the Workhouse was m Brown Street, which then included Rollestone Street. Many of the old Inns have disappeared ; among them the Blue Boar which still gives Its name to part of the Market Place ; the Three Lions, ^e Griffin the Lamb in Drakyn Street, the Antelope, the Saracen's Head the King s Head on Fisherton Bridge, the l^lue Lion, the Dolphin, the Greyhound, the Maidenhead, the Mitre, and the Cornish C!hou-h The George Inn m High Street had a yard surrounded by galleri^ea! which was used for the representation of stage plays The Churchwardens were bound to provide all things necessary for the service of the church, and many items occur which mav be termed Vestry Expenses. A quire of " Ryall" paper (91) ) and a standish (232), pottlepots to measure the communion wine (20G) and a tynnen bottle to fetch It to church, christening oil and nelvng oil (91), holly and greening at Christmas, links and great candles to light in church at the entry of the Queen's Majesty at service time and sermon (287) and innumerable similar charges may be classed in this way. Many of these entries when they occur in the English language serve to indicate the local pronunciation at the time. A " vadome" of rope new '^-eyelles for the powlpet steeres," a pecexe and shoule,the payment to the rmgers that rang - thyck" four days, or to the men who took the borrowed ladder '' whom" again, the cost of *' elapses" for books, and ' hapses' for doors, all show that whatever else may have changed the Wiltshire dialect is much the same to-day as it was four hundred years ago. In conclusion, I beg to tender my grateful acknowledgments to the Lord Bishop of the Diocese for a promised Foreword of Godspeed and to the Bev. B. H. Clutterbuck, F.S.A., Mr. E. Doran Webb, F.S.A. and others, for their kindly counsel and guidance uhile preparing these sheets for the press. \ * Real Composition between Master Elyas de Derham, Prebendary of Lavington, and John Rous, of Imher, in the County of Wilts, relative to the Tithes of his Estate in that place. — August 16y 1238, Notum sit omnibus presens scriptum visuris vel audituris quod cum inter Magistrum Elyam de Derham Canonicum Sarr' nomine prebende siie de Lauintune et Johannem rufum de Ymmere super decimis tanti maioribus quam minoribus tocius tenementi sui quod habet in Ymmere coram Magistro Waltero de ffifsertune et domino Roberto rectore Capelle beati Thome Sarr' Auctoritate domini Humfredi Archidiaconi Sarr' loci ordinarii cognoscentibus questio uerteretur Demum partibus in presencia dictorum Judicum constitutis ad instanciam Magistri Ade Cancellarii Sarr' et aliorum discretorum de Capitulo eiusdem ecclesie lis inter eos amicabiliter conquieuit sub hac forma Videlicet quod dictus Johannes rufus et heredes sui ac ceteri successores eiusdem clericos suos successiue ad electionem et voluntatem dicti J. et heredes ac successores suorum dicto Magistro E. ac successoribus suis qui pro tempore dictam preben- dam possidebunt ad prefatas decimas libere et sine contradiccione tanquam patroni earundem inperpetuum presentabunt Et dictus Magister E. et successores sui clericos pro tempore presentatos a prefato J. et succes- soribus suis et a dicto Magistro E. et successoribus suis examinatos absque malicia et cauillacione ad dictas decimas nomine prebende de Lauinetune admitfcent et inuestient eosdem Si autem clericus pro tempore presentatus ad dictas decimas minus ydoneus reperiatur remanebunt dicte decime insequestrate penes Magistrum E. et successsores suos donee ydoneus representetur ad eosdem Ita tum quod Canonicus qui pro tempore dictam prebendam possidebit pretextu retencionis dicti sequestri in examinatione dictorum clericorum difficilem non exhibebit vel mali- ciosum Dicti uero clerici qui dictas decimas pro tempore possidebunt excepto Nichol' de Wiche quern prefatus Magister E. ad presentacionem prefati Johannis rufi dictis decimis inuestiuit quo et presente et consen- ciente hec omnia fuerant actitata vnam marcam argenti Magistro E. et successoribus suis nomine perpetue pacis annuatim apud Lauinetune persoluent ad duos anni terminos scilicet infra Octabas sancti Michaelis dimidiam marcam et infra Octabas Pasche dimidiam marcam Dictus uero Nichol' de Wiche quam diudecimas illas possidebit dimidiam marcam tantum Magistro E. et successoribus suis persoluet eodem modo B / quo scilicet successores sui eo cadente vel decedente predictam marcam persoluent et ad eosdem terminos scilicet infra Octabas sancti Michaelis quadraginta denarios et infra octabas pasche quadraginta denarios Ita scilicet quod dicti Magister E. et J. vel successores sui plus iuris quam Bupradictum est in dictis Decimis vendicare non possint Dicti et clerici qui pro tempore decimas illas tenebunt iuramentum fidelitatis et Canonicam Magistro E. et successoribus suis obedienciam prestabunt.
