The memory of Alvite enumerates six chapels in 1758. Saint Antonino belonged to the house and fifth with that name; Good Order was next to the House of Alvimento; the Holy Family, next to the House of the Tower. These three are presented as private.
The others were São Mamede, in Petimão, Santa Catarina, on the homonymous hill, and São Sebastião, in place of the Chão. The text assigns burdens to the customers, but saves St Mamede: there were the convent of Refojos and the abbot of St Clement as midwives. The word factory arises linked to these maintenance responsibilities, not to an industrial installation. These are 1758 bonds, without establishing current property or access.
