chiefly in the hundred of CHUTELY, Kingsclere division,
of the county of SOUTHAMPTON, 3 miles (N. W.
by N.) from Basingstoke, containing, with the tything
of Chineham, 494 inhabitants. The living is a discharged
vicarage, in the archdeaconry and diocese of
Winchester, rated in the king's books at £8. 0. 7., and
in the patronage of the Provost and Fellows of Queen's
College, Oxford. The church is dedicated to All
Saints. Here was a Benedictine priory, dedicated to
St. Mary and St. John, a cell to the abbey of Cerasy in
Normandy, which, at its suppression, was given by
Henry VI. to Eton College, but it was finally granted
by Edward IV. to the hospital of St. Julian in Southampton,
and is enjoyed by the Provost and Fellows of
Queen's College, as masters of that hospital.
