ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY

Saunderton were united in the fifteenth century,[1] and the two churches of Chesham seem only to have endured until the Reformation because they were under different patrons.

More than one half of the churches in this county were appro- priated to religious houses before the Taxation of 1291.[2]
