seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and founded some local charities still
existing, had " Bonham " for their ( Ihristian name. I'robably they took it from

* Of these three fields in St. Margaret next Rochester, belonging to the
College, the 7| acres first described appears to have belonged to the Manor
of Little Delce,and to have paid quit-rents to the Rochester Bridge Corporation,
who were the owners then, and still are, of that Manor. Another portion was
held of the Manor of Great Delce, and paid quit-rents to Mr. Richard Lee, the
Lord of that Manor. The "Saint "William's Chapel" mentioned here refers to
the little chapel or shrine built in the thirteenth century on the site of the
murder or martyrdom of the Scottish baker, William of Perth, who met his
death here about the year 1201 while starting for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
His body was buried in the Cathedral, and he was held in "the highest sanctity.
He was canonized in the year 1256, but his name is not to be found in Albau
Butler's Lives of the Saints. Some small remains of the little chapel still
exist, and are preserved by the trustees of the Municipal Hospital recently
erected near the spot and called "St. William's Hospital." An account of this
saint, not flattering to the Church, is given by Lambarde in his Perambulation,
and in 1891 the late Father Bridgett published a defence of the whole matter iu
The Month. Our Vol. XVI., p. 226, shews a fresco found on the jamb of a win-
dow in Frindsbury Church supposed to represent St. William. The 23 May was
his day, and was no doubt well observed at Rochester, when vast numbers of
pilgrims resorted to his shrine in the Cathedral.
