The Bluets 104 (1221) 445 , Stephen Draper(1349) 446 , Walter Fynamore (1352) 447 William Hunte 448 (1410) 449 and the last of the Chaplains to Lackham, Sir Michael Brickett (1565) 450 . John Bluet was also involved with Lacock Abbey. It has already been 445 British Library Add. Ch. 47302 is a charter by Sibilia “daughter of Edward Lambel”, who granted several pieces of land in Lacock to “Robert, vicar of the chapel of Lakham in Laycok in co. Wilts” which is dated 5 Hen III (1221 [Rogers, KH (1978) Lacock Abbey Charters WRS p26, no 58, dated 1286-98] 446 Calendar of Patent Rolls Edw III vol 3 p400 2nd October 1349 Presentation of Stephen Draper chaplain, to the Chapel of St Mary within the manor of Lackham 447 It is likely all were local men but Walter certainly is - the "House of Fynemore" (or Fynamour) was located near the south west edge of Bowood and formed a point on the Chippenham Forest boundary as laid down in the Perambulation of 1300 and the Bluets have dealings with various Fynamours. 448 The original details for the three middle chaplains are given in Hinton, FH (1941) Notes : Chapel at Lackham, in Lacock WAM XLIX CLXXIV pp360 –361 taken from the Register of Sarum, as printed in the vol. of "Wilts Institutions" by Sir Thos. Phillipps Jackson (Mss) also has exactly the same information, laid out in exactly the same way – Institution of Lackham Chapel Patron The King: for the heir Clerk Stephen Draper AD Capel : Lacham 1349 of Eleanor Bluet** 1352 Capel Lacham situat juxta Peter de Cusaunce Ld of ye Manor of Walter Fynamour on resig. of Stephen Lacock Lacham Draper 1410 Cantaria in Philip Baynard Wm Hunte manerio de Lakham Ld of ye Manor of Lakham ** she had died in 1348 – the heir was Margaret 449 Aubrey, J ed by Jackson, JE (1862) Wiltshire Topographical Collections footnote 1 p9 (footnotes by Jackson) 450 Thomas, J O (1984) History of Agricultural Education in Wiltshire p28 records that Michael Brickett was buried in Lacock church in 1565, available online at http://www.lackham.co.uk/history/Lackham%201946-1970.pdf
The Bluets 105 seen that he gave up his right of presenting to St Cyriacs church 451 and when Sir John Bluet agreed to surrender his share of the avowson of St Cyriac‘s to the nuns one of the conditions was that they should build between them a Lady Chapel adjoining the conventual church in which he should be buried 452 In 1312 this was put in hand and the abbess of Lacock, Joan de Montfort, was in bond to Sir John for 200 marks 453 ; the abbess and convent had to complete the chapel by the due date. If this was done John would assign the money to cover the work, otherwise he would demand payment. The deadline appears to have been renegotiated, another agreement was made in 1315 with the same bond amount but only two thirds of the work had to be completed by 1323 and the final third by 1327. The chapel was to be built on the side of the Abbey and two arches made to replace the common wall 454 . It is unknown if the Chapel was completed on time. 451 Calendar Patent Rolls Edw II vol 1 1307 – 1311 John was granted licence to give up his avowson to the Nuns, and they were given licence to appropriate St Cyriac‘s dated March 4 1311. The licence actually cost him 100 solidos - “Johes Bluet finem fecit cum R p centum solid' p licen' concedendi jus pronat quod het in ecclia Sci Ciriaci de Lacok abisse et moniabilis de Lacok “ [Rotulorum originalum in Curia Scacarii (1805) vol 1 Hen III Edw I & Edw II p115] 452 Victoria County History Wiltshire III p305 453 Rogers KH (ed) (1978) Lacock Abbey Charters WRS 15 no 37 pp21-22 payable at All Saints [1st November] in 1319, dated 27 Sept. 1312 . For the original wording (in French rather than the more usual Latin) see Clark- Maxwell (1904) On the Appropriation of Lacock Abbey WAM 33 Appendix XI pp372 – 373. The seal, described as Seal armorial : two headed eagle is that of the Bluets. The original text, and the translation given in Talbot CH (1876) On the agreement between the abbess Johanna de Montfort and the convent of Lacock, and sir John Bluet, Lord of Lackham, concerning the erection of a chapel of Our Lady adjoining the Abbey Church of Lacock AD1315 WAM XVI pp 35 – 39, are much longer and more complete 454 Rogers, KH (ed) (1978) ibid p23, no 43 dated 28 August 1315 The conversion factor between marks and pounds at this time can be calculated from two other agreements, dated September 1315, where John Bluet formally agreed the bond. From these documents it is seen that 200 marks was equal to £133 3s, one Edward II mark was therefore equal to just under 13s 4d, which is exactly the same value as the Tudor mark [Rogers KH (1979) Lacock Abbey Charters WRS pp22-23, charters 41 & 42 ]
