Comment | Wilts. VCH vol VI: "In 1600 there was a complaint that no sermon was preached at St. Thomas's. By his will dated 1617 Christopher Eyre, merchant of London, son of Thomas Eyre, alderman of Salisbury, left £20 a year to provide for a weekly lecture to be given in the church. The money was vested in the city chamber, and the Mayor and Corporation with Eyre's executors were to approve the lectures" |
