the largest, and likewise on each side three of uniform size; the whole being unaltered. There is a squint from the south transept into the chancel, of which last the piscina is mutilated. Of the chancel the angles and window frames are wrought in chalk, even in the exterior.
12. Burstow.—According to (Val. Eccl.) there was a park here in the early part of the sixteenth century.
13. Capel.—Originally a chapelry to Dorking (M. & B.) and still only a perpetual curacy (Clergy List). See the Note on Dorking. An estate in this parish, called Temple Elfande or Elfant, pays no tithe when occupied by the owner, but when let, is titheable, like other property. (M. & B.)
14. Carshalton.—Brasses: Nicholas Gaynesford, wife and eight children, 14 . . ; Joan Burton, 1524. (M. & B.)
15. Caterham.—In the Domesday Survey of Surrey, among the possessions of "Richard Fitzgilbert, Earl," in "Tenrige" (Tandridge) hundred, a manor is described without any name, but merely that "Azor held it of K. Edward;" and a church is mentioned there. This manor Mr. Bray supposes to be Caterham; of which he states, that the existing manor is extensive, and the church ancient. (M. & B.) Upon that authority I have assigned the church to Caterham, instead of subjoining it to the end of the list without any name. A small part of this church may be Tr. Norm., but the greater portion is more recent. The building is small, and not interesting.
16. Chaldon.—In the printed copy of (D. B.) the name which I have attributed to this place, is rendered "Salvedone;" while M. & B., in quoting the Domesday description of Surrey, give it as Calvedone; which latter reading I have no doubt is correct. It is placed in "Waletone," i. e. Wallington, hundred, now called Croydon, to which Chaldon still belongs, but where no spot can be identified as Salvedon. There exists however more direct evidence, that the original word is intended for Calvedone. In the MS. of (D. B.) the initial letter certainly resembles what occasionally occurs as an S, though very different from the usual capital S. But appearances, on inspection, immediately suggested the idea, that the transcriber had committed a blunder in commencing the first letter of the name, and that he finally gave it the present form (neither a C, nor yet, quite, an S) rather than risk blotting and confusion by erasing the mistake to write in the proper letter. What that proper letter is will be clearly ascertained by referring to the abridged MS. copy of
