- Chantry abstract "A Chantry (a.k.a. an Obiit) is a monetary trust fund established for the purpose of employing one or more Priests to sing a stipulated number of Masses during a stipulated period of time for the spiritual benefit of a deceased person, generally the donor, hoped to be in the state of Purgatory. Chantries were commonly established in England before the Reformation and were endowed with lands, rents and other assets given by donors, often in their wills, the income from which maintained the chantry priest. A chantry chapel is a building on private land or a dedicated area within a parish church or cathedral, set aside or built especially for and dedicated to the performance of the chantry duties by the priest. A chantry may occupy as premises only an altar, for example in the side aisle of a church, rather than an enclosed chapel within a larger church, generally dedicated to the donor's favourite saint. Many such chantry altars became richly endowed, often with gold furnishings and valuable vestments. Over the centuries chantries increased their wealth, often by attracting new donors, and chantry priests were in many cases able to enjoy great wealth and in some instances this led to the corruption of the consecrated life expected of clerics. This evident corruption was one of the factors which led to the Dissolution of the Monasteries upon which chantries were abolished and their assets were sold or granted to persons at the discretion of King Henry VIII and his son King Edward VI, via the Court of Augmentations. Many Tudor businessmen such as Thomas Bell (1486-1566) of Gloucester thus acquired chantries as financial investments producing income streams derived from rents, or sold the assets at a profit.".
