    1. 1535 strange words
    2. Fay McKenzie-Edmonds
    3. Hi List From a PCC will of 1535, William BOUNDE of Oundle, Northamptonshire, opinions please. The will is totally legible. All places mentioned in the will (except one in Warwickshire) are in Northamptonshire so presume this strange one is also "Item I bequeath to "Grymbulble" Church where I was christened five pounds sterling" My total guess is Guilsborough. "And also the said four children to have 13s 4d divided amongst them, and to the maintenance of the light before the said five wounds in the said church, and to repair and find the said 2 Clerks and 3 children surplices to sing the said Salve and also give yearly to the Sexton for knolling of the bell at 6 of the clock mass "sakering" noon and the last Salve and lighting of the lights afore the said Five Wounds to have 2s 8d, and the said two Clerks and four children shall enter and to sing the said Salve at the Feast of Saint Michael the Archangel next ensuing" Sacrament? Thanks Fay
