One further institution to the chantry appears in Bishop Namo’s register, under the heading Cantaria manerii de Scottegrove. This was in 1342, when Adam atte Welle of Bixle (Bexley), priest, suceeeded on the resignation of Robert de Oddesworth. On this occasion, the patron was named as William Wavre and it was he who, four or five years later, as William de Wauer, paid the sum of ten shillings in respect of the manor of Scotgrove in the aid for the knighting of the Black Prince.¹⁰  Medieval ladies usually made their first marriage at a tender age and not infrequently outlived several partners. William may have been Joan de Gatewyk’s third husband.

In 1330, a William de Wauere acted in stead of William of Reculver and his wife in a Fine relating to land in Hernehill and, in the same year, in place of Joan, wife of William Moraunt, in a Fine relating to property in Sevenoaks. Two years later, William de Wauere senior stood in place of Margery, wife of John de Mereworthe, in a Fine concerned with a moiety of the manor of West Peckham. It was probably he who attended the York Parliament of 26 May 1335 as one of the two members for Canterbury.¹¹  It seems more likely that it was the younger of the two who became lord of Scotgrove.
