_Sangred--Dowts of Holy Scripture._
In the will of John Hedge, of Bury St. Edmund's, made in 1504, is this
item:--
"I beqweth to the curat of the seid church iiij_s_. iiij_d_. for a
_sangred_ to be prayed for in the bedroule for my soule and all my
good ffrends soulls by the space of a yeer complete."
In the same year Thomas Pakenham, of Ixworth Thorpe, bequeathed 6 hives
of bees to the sepulchre light, "to pray for me and my wyffe in y'e
_comon sangered_;" and in 1533, Robert Garad, of Ixworth, bequeathed to
the high altar ij_s_. "for _halfe a sangred_."
Can any of your reader explain what the _sangred_ is? or give me any
information about the book referred to in the following extract from the
will of William Place, Master of St. John's Hospital, Bury St. Edmund's,
made in 1504:--
"Item. I beqweth to the monastery of Seynt Edmund forseid my book
of the _dowts of Holy Scryptur_, to ly and remain in the cloyster,"
&c.
