The c<strong>on</strong>gregati<strong>on</strong> was originally c<strong>on</strong>nected with an earlier building in Old-<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y were left in undisturbed possessi<strong>on</strong>. It was built by subscripti<strong>on</strong> in<br />
1529, and licensed-but not c<strong>on</strong>secrated- by Jerome de Ghinuciis, Bishop<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Worcester, an Italian, who was afterwards deprived <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> his See by Act .<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Parliament for n<strong>on</strong>-residence. This Chapel, with certain adjoining proper-<br />
