Sir Michael Brickett, Chaplain to Edward Baynard, Esq., was buried at Lacock, on the 7th of May, A.D. 1565. 2 The Porch of Lacock Church, which is a late "Perpendicular" addition, was doubtless erected by an individual of the Baynard family, as appears by a shield in the centre of the stone groining of the roof, which bears the arms of Bluet and Baynard quarterly. The arms of Baynard are also to be seen, together with many others, on the roof of the Cloisters of Lacock Abbey, denoting, perhaps, in this instance also, a benefaction to the building. 1 This name does not occur in the Pedigree. 2 This Porch occupies a rare and curious position, being attached to the west front of a western tower, and quite unconnected with any other part of the Church.
