Roger is know to have been active c. 1137. Abbot Walchelinus may be identical with Vaanchelimus who was present in 1179 at the translation of St Romanus (Gallia Christiana vol. III) Winterbourne Earls Church did not belong to Eton but the Abbey possessed estates at Clatford and Hullavington, also in Wiltshire, which were granted to the College. Probably the Prior of Clatford administered this property also and this document is a stray.
