HIGHWORTH, CRICKLADE and STAPLE HUNDRED.1
BLOUNDESDON (St. Andrew's).2

2 About three miles from Swindon. In 1282 Roger de Writele gave land in Blunsdon to the Abbess of Godstow. For the estate which he held he did suit at the court of Adam Stratton of Sevenhampton. A Charter of A.D. 1321 (Inq. a. q. d.) witnesses that the Advowson was in that year appropriated by Robert Hungerford to tbe Monastery of Ivy Churcb : but this gift seems to have been defeated. This Manor (held under Dunstanville of Castle Combe and Mautra-vers, jointly, see Wilts. Archaaol. Mag. II. 282) and the Advowson, belonged A.D. 1201—1348 to a family whose name is variously spelt, As : Ace : Aze : Aas : or Wace. A Henry de Blunsdon was Almoner to Edw. I.; a chantry, witb a priest to pray for his soul, was founded in Sarum Cathedral c. 1398. In 1361—98 the manor belonged to Fitzwarine; in 1440 to Andrew; in 1445 to John Stafford, Archbishop of Canterbury, [see "North Bradley;") in 1454 to James Audley; in 1459 to John Ferris (or Ferrars) who was Sheriff of Wilts. This family was twice in trouble. In 1. Hen. VII. Ferris of Blunsdon was attainted as a partisan of Rich. III.: and an Edmund Ferris of Blunsdon St. Andrew was included in the attainder of Edmund Delapole, 2nd. Duke of Suffolk, in 1513, when the manor was granted to Sir Giles Brydges. His son, Sir John, was created 1554 Baron Chandos of Sudeley, and lived here. Henry, 2nd. Earl of Clarendon was owner in 1667.
