I was just about to say it's in Gloucestershire but checked first and it is in Wiltshire - must be near the border.

Only a transcription but it's between

Agnes Woolawell and John Bye

10 Aug 1631

Maisey Hampton Glos
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Hi,

You can see the original on Anc...y for Meysey, Hampton, Gloucs. 1578-1812

It's written on what looks like a piece of crumpled parchment.
