| Notes |
- In 1494 Richard Beauchamp, Lord St. Amand, his wife Anne, and Sir Roger Tocotes were licensed to assign lands in Avebury to the chaplain of Bromham. (fn. 213) Rents due to the lord of Avebury were extinguished under Edward VI when both manor and chantry were held by the Crown. (fn. 214) The possessions of the chantry were granted to Edward Carey in 1564 (fn. 215) and in 1582 the lands in Avebury, Rowses farm, were held by John Shuter. (fn. 216) Shuter (d. 1591) devised the farm to his grandson John Shuter, who sold it to John Goldsmith after 1611. (fn. 217) Goldsmith (d. 1640) devised Rowses to his son Thomas. (fn. 218) The later history of the estate is not clear but it may have been that held in 1780 by one Warner, in 1783 by William Crook, (fn. 219) and in 1813 by R. Crook, possibly William's son. Crook sold the estate to James Kemm in 1843.
