        Hope, Benjamin s of Edw. of Devizes pleb. Trinity Colledge matric.4th April 1677 aged 17 years BA From Hart Hall 1680. Vicar of Stapleford Wilts 1693.

        The descent of the All Cannings part of Provenders after 1644 is not clear. Most of it was apparently held by Edward Hope c. 1710. (fn. 96) Part of it was bought by Gifford Warriner from Benjamin Hope in 1753 and added to his other land in All Cannings, (fn. 97) but the rest passed to Richard Hope (d. c. 1729) and was held in 1780 by John son of John Hope. (fn. 98) John was succeeded by his brother Edward who sold part of the land to John Clift c. 1816. It was held by William Clift from c. 1823 to at least 1831. The other part was sold by Hope to the trustees of William Hayward. (fn. 99)

        (48)Edward Hope, junior, gentleman and mercer of The Devizes (as it was then called), Wiltshire, seems to have been a wealthy dissenter; he appears in the 1693 list of Ellen Daffy's agents, and the will of an Edward Hope of Devizes (showing extensive lands and property) was proved on 16 January 1708. (NA, PCC, PROB 11/505.) In 1672 Edward Hope applied for registration of his house in Devizes as an Independent/Congregationalist meeting place, with Mr John Frayling as teacher/minister; the licence being received on 14 May 1672. (Turner (ed.), op. cit., note 19 above, vol. 2, p. 1070.) On 29 July 1676 Sir Edward Bayntun (1618-1679) made a covenant "to assign to Edward Hope junior of the Devizes, grocer, the remainder of a term of 1,000 years in a messuage and house in the Devizes", for which Hope paid Bayntun £159. Bayntun was head of one of Wiltshire's foremost families; elected MP for Devizes in 1640, 1654, 1675 and 1679, he was known to be sympathetic to dissenters. (Jane Freeman (ed.), The commonplace book of Sir Edward Bayntun ofBromham, Devizes, Wiltshire Record Society, 1988, p. 33.) The extent of the Hopes' affiliation with the dissenting movement is unclear, given their connection with Oxford University: entrance to the University required membership of the Established Church. In 1677 Benjamin Hope, son of Edward Hope of Devizes, matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford, aged seventeen, taking his BA from Hart Hall in 1680, and he went on to become vicar of Stapleford, Wiltshire, in 1693. And on 26 April 1704 Edward Hope, son of "Edward, of Devizes, Wilts, gent." entered Hart Hall, Oxford, aged seventeen. (Joseph Foster, Alumni Oxoninsis, Oxford, Parker, 1891, vol. 2, p. 742.) In 1652 an Edward Hope of Devizes issued a farthing token bearing the symbol of a ship and anchor. (Dickinson, op. cit., note 22 above, p. 223.)

        (Benjamin Hope of Camberwell, Surrey, appears as one of Daffy's satisfied customers in his 1675 pamphlet, having taken the Elixir both to cure his gout and as a remedy for colic. (Daffy, op. cit., note 12 above, pp He was possibly a relative of another of Daffy's agents, the dissenter Edward Hope junior of Devizes (see note 48 above), whose son Benjamin matriculated at Oxford in 1677.)
