B I S H A M (form erly Bustleham ) is a village and
parish, beautifully situated on the bank of the river
Tham es, over which is a suspension bridge to Marlow
(Bucks), built in the year 1836; it is 13 miles northeast from Reading, 7 east from Henley, 5 north-west
from Maidenhead and one m ile south from Marlow
station on the G reat Western railway, in the Eastern
division of the county, hundred of Bevnhurst, Maidenhead p e tty sessional division, union of Maidenhead,
co u n ty court district of H igh W ycom be, rural deanery
of Maidenhead, archdeaconry of Berks and diocese of
Oxford. The church of All Saints, which stands close
to the river and not far from the Abbey, is an ancient
stru ctu re of chalk and rubble stone, dating from about
the 12th century, and consists of chancel, nave of four
bays, aisles, south porch
and an em battled western
tow er of Norman date, containing 3 b e lls ; it was
restored in 1849 and 1850, and a north aisle was added
in 1877-8, at a cost of £2,300, defrayed by Lieut.-G en.
Owen W illiam s J.P. : in the church are monuments
to Sir Philip Hoby kt. the last English legate to the
Pope, who died 1558 and Sir Thomas Hoby kt. ambassador to France, who died 1566, with their effigies in
alabaster, erected by the widow of the la tte r: there
is also a stained window with arms of twelve members
of the Hobye fam ily, placed in the year 1609: there
are 350 sittin gs, all being free, except those in the
north and south chapels. The register dates from the
year 1560. The livin g is a vicarage, net yearly value
£130, w ith residence, in the g ift of Sir Henry James
V ansittart-N eale K .C .B . and held since 1900 by the
Rev. W illiam F arrer M.A. of Balliol College, Oxford,
The charities- are of £ 2 10s. yearly value. Bisham
Abbey is the property and residence of Sir Henry James
V ansittart-N eale K .C .B ., J.P. : the priory of Bisham
was founded in 1338 on a pre-existing preceptory of
the K n igh ts Tem plars, by W illiam de Montacute, 1st

Earl of Salisbury of that name and K in g of the Isle
of Man, for canons regular of the order of St.
Augustine, and was dedicated to Our Lord, St. Mary
and the Holy Trinity, the founder endowing it with a
sum of £285 yearly; in 1536 it was surrendered to
Henry V III. by W illiam Barlow, the last prior, who
was thereupon created Bishop of St. David’s ; in the
following year the K in g refounded and endowed it as
a Benedictine m onastery with about £662 yearly, but
' in 1540 it was again and finally suppressed, and was
granted to Queen Anne of Cleves, who disposed of it
j by exchange to Sir Philip Hoby kt. and it remained in
that fam ily till 1768, when it passed to the M ill fam ily,
baronets, of Camois Court. Sussex, and Mottisfont,
! Hants, and was afterwards sold in 1780 to the Vansittarts, a Dantzic fam ily, several of whom represented
Berkshire in Parliam ent, and one, the R ight Hon.
Nicholas V an sittart M .P., F .R .S. after serving the
office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, was, in 1823,
created Baron Bexley, a title that became extinct on
his death, 8th Feb. 1851: of the conventual buildings the council chamber, the refectory and an
octagonal tower dating from the early part of the 12th
century, still rem ain ; the refectory, restored in 1859,
has a fine open-timbered roof and a g a lle ry ; the
; rem aining buildings apparently enclosing portions of
the ancient fabric, are of the Tudor period and were
built by Sir Philip Hoby kt. ; of the priory church no
traces seem to e x is t: on the south side of the house
is the “ Council Cham ber,” which, with an adjoining
bed-room, form erly constituted a single apartm ent,
and was occupied as such for three years by the
Princess Elizabeth when in retirem ent here, under the
charge of Sir Thomas H oby: in one of the walls of
the house is a concealed chamber, the chim ney of
which communicates with that of the h a ll: the convent barn, a detached building, is also extant, its
