reign of his late majesty, intituled, 'An Act to amend and render more effectual an
Act passed in the last Session of Parliament, for building and promoting the build-
ing of additional Churches in populous Parishes:' and whereas it is expedient and
necessary that some of the provisions of the said recited acts should be amended,
and other provisions thereof explained and enlarged, and that further and additional
provisions should be made for rendering the said two recited acts more effectual;
be it therefore enacted by the king's most excellent majesty, by and with the
advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this pre-
sent parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that it shall be
lawful for the master general and principal officers of his majesty's ordnance, and
also for the comptroller of the barrack department, and also for the principal
officers of any other public department, having or holding any messuages or build-
ings, or any lands, grounds, tenements, or hereditaments, for and on behalf of his
majesty, for the public use of any such department, by any grant or conveyance,
signed by the master general or any two of the principal officers of the ordnance
department; or by any grant or conveyance signed by the comptroller of the bar-
rack department; or by any grant or conveyance, signed by any one or more of
the principal officers of any such other public department as aforesaid, and coun-
tersigned, as to all such last-mentioned grants or conveyances, by any three or
more of the commissioners of his majesty's treasury of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland; and it shall also be lawful for any and every body
politic, corporate, and collegiate, and corporation aggregate or sole, or for any
trustees, guardians, commissioners, or other persons having the control, care, or
management of any hospital, schools, charitable foundations, or other public insti-
tutions, by any grant or conveyance signed by or under the seal of such body
or corporation respectively, to give, grant, and convey any messuages, buildings,
lands, grounds, tenements, or hereditaments respectively; and if any such mes-
suages, buildings, lands, grounds, tenements, or hereditaments respectively, shall
be copyhold at the time of any such gift, grant, or conveyance, in any case in

parochial rights; that the inhabitants were
to provide, at their own cost and expense,
and to have the nomination of a resident
capellane, who was to receive all and singu-
lar the fruits, tithes, mortuaries, and emolu-
ments, within the chapelry, and hitherto paid
to the vicar, and to occupy the mansion-
house; he was to pay due obedience to each
successive vicar; and the vicar released all
tithes, excepting the reserve of 208. in money,
and one quarter of wheat, to be yearly paid
to him and his successors: and the repairs
of the chapel, chancel, and manse, were for
the future to be on the inhabitants, and in
no wise on the vicar, patron, or the succes-
sors, with a provision, that if the chapel was
void for a year, the tithes, &c., should be
paid to the vicar. This was not a newly
erected chapel; for Kennett says, pp. 298-9,
"I have met with no records nor tradition,
that assign the time when this chapel was
erected..... Whenever it was first built,
I believe it was not consecrated till ten years
before this composition in 1418; .....
which seems to be clearly implied by this
expression in the present instrument, in
eâdem capellâ et ejus cœmeterio jam tandem
de novo rite dedicatis.'"

Remarking on this deed of composition, Kennett, pp. 268-9, says, "Here is the triple league or joint consent of the diocesan, patron, and incumbent, whose suffrages were all required, if the church were full, to authorize an alteration of this kind. In a

synod at London, convened by Anselm, arch-
bishop of Canterbury, in 3 Hen. 1, the 15th
Constitution provides, Ne nova capella fiat
sine consensu episcopi. So when an oratory
or chapel was allowed at the grange of the
abbey of Waverley, in the parish of Aultun,
com. Southampt. A.D. 1250, it was done by
the permission and consent of the bishop of
Winchester, diocesan, and patron, and the
rector of Aultun. So when the chapel of
St. James, in the parish of Oakley, was con-
stituted, A.D. 1418, the ordination of it, was
by authority of the Bishop of Lincoln, dio-
cesan, de consensu et assensu prioris et con-
ventus, &c., the proprietors and patrons,
cum voluntate et assensu vicarii. And if the
lord of any manor, or inhabitants, presumed
to erect a chapel without such due permission
and assent, such act was neither just nor
valid. Therefore, when a chapel was founded
within the parish of Watlington, com. Oxon.
by the lord of that manor, for the greater
conveniency of his family and tenants, the
abbot and canons of Osency, patrons of
the parish church, entered a protest against
it; and in 1182, appealed to Richard,
archbishop of Canterbury, and from him
soon after, to Pope Urban the Third, who
sent over a commission to the abbots of
Abingdon and Missenden, and the prior of
Kenelworth, who, upon inquiry and judicial
process, dissolved the said chapel, because
illegally built, without consent of the parties
concerned."
