		Chantry is a term for the English establishment of a shrine or chapel on private land where monks or priests would say (or "chant") prayers on a fixed schedule, usually for someone who had died.
		Chantries date to the late medieval period, but they were not numerous in England until the 14th and 15th centuries.
		While some chantries were established for the purpose of saying mass and prayers for the dead, they were also established on behalf of guilds.

	Chantries - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Chantries
		A chantry could be held at an existing altar, or in a specially constructed chantry chapel in which the donor's body was usually buried.
		Chantry chapels are often built off the aisle or nave of a church, and have the tomb of the founder placed in the centre.
		Chantries became widespread in the later Middle Ages, reflecting the acceptance of the doctrine of purgatory, together with the growth of individualistic piety (as in the devotio moderna) and the decline in the popularity of monasteries, to which they were seen as an alternative.

		Yet such was the rapacity of the times and the unfortunateness of his condition, that his minority was abused to many acts of spoil and rapine — (even to an high degree of sacrilege) — to the raising of some and the enriching of others, without any manner of improvement to his own estate.
		And for want of such heirs males to be born in the lifetime of the King, the crown immediately to descend on the Lady Jane (the eldest daughter of that house) and the heirs of her body, and so with several remainders to the rest of that family.
		And now, the time being near at hand for the last act of this tragedy, a certain gentlewoman, accounted a fit instrument for the purpose, offered her service for the cure — giving no small assurance of it, if he might be committed wholly to her disposing.

	Florilegium urbanum - Religion, piety, and charity - Introductory essay
		Chantries were endowments to maintain one or more priests to celebrate services for the soul of the founder(s), typically on a daily basis; foundations might take place during the founder's lifetime or through testamentary provision.
		But more commonly chantries were established in existing chapels of churches, or in other parts of the church, usually with a new altar being provided for the purpose by the founder; alternatively, services might be said at the tomb of the founder.
		Even founding a chantry was more charitable than simply providing for a large but finite volume of masses to be said, for the chantry priests thus employed contributed to the performance of the liturgy of the church as a whole, and to the quality of services for the community.

		Had their advice been acted upon the results might have been disastrous for the king, but the extreme loyalty of both the leaders and people, and the fear that civil war in England would lead to a new Scottish invasion, determined the majority to exhaust peaceful means before having recourse to violence.

		Already an Act had been passed in the previous reign against colleges, chantries, guilds, etc., but since most of these remained as yet undisturbed, it was determined to replenish the royal treasury by decreeing their immediate dissolution, and by vesting their property in the king.

	Mage: The Ascension - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In order to perform acts of Awakened magic, a mage must justify his/her ability to change reality through a paradigm that provides an explanation for how the universe works.
		For example, an alchemical paradigm might describe the act of wood burning is the wood "releasing its essence of elemental Fire," modern science would describe fire as "combustion resulting from a complex chemical reaction." Each paradigm is unique, but broad categorizations such as religious miracle-working, occult sorcery, and futuristic technology capture general trends among paradigms.
		The Traditions replenished their numbers with former Technocrats from the Sons of Ether and Virtual Adepts factions but still fought a losing battle with the Technocracy, the Nephandi (mages who consciously embrace evil and service to a demonic or alien master) and the Marauders (mages who resist Paradox with a magical form of madness).

	A STATEMENT OF FAITH
		A chantry was often associated with a particular altar in a parish church, or with a chapel specially constructed within the church - plenty of these survive in English cathedrals and parish churches.
		Whilst a chantry was most frequently founded to pray for the soul of an individual or a family, others were co-operative or were formed as guilds.
		Although the Chantries Acts of 1545 and 1547, which abolished the chantries, effectively closed these grammar schools, some were subsequently re-founded and today many an English school can trace its origin back to a chantry foundation, as can some almshouses and hospitals.

	Sample Chapter for Greenblatt, S.: Hamlet in Purgatory.
		Three monks of Westminster were to serve as chantry priests, perpetually praying for Henry's soul, and these constant suffrages were to be supplemented by anniversary masses in an impressive number of cathedral, conventual, and university churches.
		Theologians assured the faithful that their generous acts of penance and commissioned prayers would not be wasted, even if those for whom the prayers were said went directly to Heaven (or, for that matter, to Hell).
		They had to strike at colleges, free chapels, chantries, hospitals, fraternities, brotherhoods, guilds, stipendiary priests, and priests for terms of years, as well as at many smaller funds left to pay for trentals (the cycle of thirty requiem masses), obits (the yearly memorial service), flowers, bells, and candles.

	Hamlet in Purgatory
		Chantries and other costly ritual practices often served as pious attempts to help whole networks of family and friends, along with the donor himself.
		According to the historian Christopher Haigh, by the latter part of the fifteenth century "the endowment of chantries on a large scale was clearly a thing of the past in most parts of England." But Googe and his fellow polemicists are certainly correct in claiming that English Catholics invested heavily in suffrages.
		As we have seen, the monks of Westminster Abbey, who said masses for the kings of England, were especially well-endowed beneficiaries of the belief in Purgatory, but virtually all monasteries and churches in the Middle Ages would have been the recipients of donations in exchange for prayers for the dead.
