075 | [Continued] (P.37) No.29 Chantry Dedicated to the Blessed Name of Jesus. Was founded by John Arthur, burgess of Aberdeen, for celebrating masses for him and his successors. By a charter, dated August 14th 1520, he granted to John Waus, the chaplain, and his successors a tenement of land in the Upperkirkgate. ----- No.30. Chantry of Saint Thomas the Martyr. William Blindesele, burgess of Aberdeen founded this chantry in the year 1524. On the 28th of May that year he gave Seisin to William Coupar chaplain of the altar, of an annuity of £1.4.0 arising from tenements in the Upperkirkgate. ----- No.31 Chantry of The Rude Altar. The rude altar and rude loft were appropriated chiefly to the reception of the relics and images of Saints belonging to the church, which were exhibited in solemn processions on festival days and in the course of devotional exercises. In the year 1472, the magistrates and council, who were patrons of the chantry, nominated Andrew Anderson, son of Thomas Anderson, burgess, chaplain of the altar, with a salary of ten merks yearly, besides the other emoluments arising from services of devotion. ----- It is not unreasonable to suppose, that, in the age of popery, many of these masses, which we have had occasion to enumerate, were, on the interments and anniversaries of deceased persons, celebrated with sacred music, and with all the accompaniments and decorations allowed on such solemn occasions. The altars appropriated to these religious ceremonies appear to have been ornamented and decorated with portraits of Saints, and other subjects from sacred history. ----- |
