Both belonged to an old Bristol family of the name. William Sylke was rector of All-Hallows in 1264, when ** Isonde, relict of Hugh Calvestone, grants lands to the Church, on pa3rment of a yearly rent of a penny or a pair of gloves at her option. " By another deed, dated about the same period, William Sylke "gives, grants, and confirms in fee, for the souls of his father, John Sylke, his mother, Isabella, and all his predecessors and suc- cessors," money ** to keep a lamp for ever burning in the church of All-Hallows '* — the said money to be derived from land in Seatepull Street, Bristol. In 1547 a Mrs Sylke bequeathed to the poor of St Thomas's parish three shillings for annual distribution.

So they are suggesting its "All-Hallows" in Bristol. www.about-bristol.co.uk/chu-04.asp"The church of All Saints, formerly known as All Hallows, was founded in Norman times. It was the church of the Guild of Kalendars, who kept the town records in order." The above sounds like a possibility

The above sounds like a possibility en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints'_Church,_Bristol All Saints (grid reference ST587729) is a church in Corn Street, Bristol, England. The west end of the nave survives from the original 12th century church, and the east nave and aisles were built in the 15th century. The north-east tower was added in 1716 by William Paul, and completed by George Townesend. The lantern was rebuilt by Luke Henwood in 1807, and the chancel rebuilt in the mid 19th century. The church is surrounded on three sides by pedestrian passageways and built into surrounding buildings. Over the south nave is a priests room and over the north a Georgian coffee room. The most notable monument is to Edward Colston designed by James Gibbs and carved by John Michael Rysbrack. It is currently (2008) used as a Diocesan Education Centre. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.
