INTRODUCTION
TO THE BEDINGFELD PAPERS

No one who has dipped even slightly into the history of the English
Catholics during the times of persecution can doubt that the preserva
tion of the Faith during that time of trial was due to the Catholic
gentry. Like all broad generalisations, this statement is of course
liable to exceptions, and will need safeguards if it is narrowed down
to particular cases. There can, however, be no question that where
the gentry fell away, there the Faith was condemned to neglect and
exile, and gradually failed. On the other hand, the old sentiment that
an Englishman's house should be his castle, made it possible for the
Catholic squire to make some head against crushing laws, the abso
lutism of the Crown, and Protestant bigotry when he was supported
by faithful tenants and (below, p. 3) aided by friendly neighbours
(below, pp. 163, 164), especially in days when all, even the magistrates,
were imbued with respect for the upper classes (pp. 21, 165).

But why Catholicism lived on in this house more than in that, it
is usually impossible for us to tell. In the case of one or two of the
chief noble houses that kept to the ancient Faith, such as the Howards,
the Petres, and the Montagues, there is indeed a fair amount of
material accessible in print to which recourse might be had, and
there is also much for some individual Catholics. But to trace from
printed sources the domestic life of any Catholic family (not of noble
rank) for three or four generations would at present be extremely
difficult,* though it is probable enough that there is a good deal of
valuable manuscript material extant in one place or another which
would, if it were properly collected and published, throw a very
interesting light on the domestic annals of our Catholic forefathers.

The manuscript materials preserved at Oxburgh Hall are probably
not richer or more numerous than those to be found in other old
houses that could be named. On the contrary, the devastation which
it endured during the Civil Wars makes it likely that its muniments have
been depleted to a more than usual degree. Yet there remain, as the
reader will see, a certain number of letters, diaries, journals, and other
family memoirs which, taken together, tell us a good deal about the
life of a Catholic family during the penal times, and these have been
printed below.

It is hardly necessary to add that no attempt has been made to

archives of the Bishop of Southwark, may soon find a copyist and an editor?

x INTRODUCTION TO THE

collect the records of the family as a whole, much less to write its
history, interesting as that history would be.

Incidentally, of course, many important facts connected with the
family are touched upon here or there, and the chief authorities are
alluded to in a way that will, I hope, make the work of the future his
torian easier than it was.

He should begin with the Genealogical Supplement contributed by
Mr. Richard Thackeray Bedingfeld, which he will find at the very end
of the book. The inverted order is not difficult to understand. Mr.
Bedingfeld worked on records of one age and class ; I was occupied
with those of a different series and a later period, and unfortunately I
got into press first. It was not till after my contribution had been
printed off that I had the opportunity of submitting it to him. The
result has been the publication in print of a study on the early history
of the Bedingfeld family, the interest and value of which can hardly
be overstated. That Mr. Bedingfeld should have been ready to throw
into a note at the end of this volume the results of a life-study, which
in itself certainly deserved a first place, or altogether separate treat
ment, is a favour on his part for which, on behalf of all members of
the Catholic Record Society, I must heartily thank him.*

From the various picturesque details to be found in this Supple
ment, as well as in Section IX., a clear idea may be formed of the
vigour and endurance of the family whose fortunes we are following,
and the vision of their beautiful home (p. 244) must be added to the
background of every scene of their history. Not slight assuredly has
been the influence upon generation after generation of Bedingfelds
which has been exerted by those battlemented towers, that fresh-flowing
moat, those halls and courts and corridors, those family pictures,
charter-chests, and rolls of arms, which give to the venerable home at
Oxburgh so unique and irresistible a charm. It was always impossible
to live there without being influenced to some extent by the genius loci,
by the memory of that long and ancient line, which had kept faith
with God and the Church, with King and family, while all that was
mortal of it rested either in the church beyond the garden, or in the
chapel hard by.

Of all the tombs in the Bedingfeld Chapel in Oxburgh Church, the
finest, no doubt, is that of Sir Henry, the Lieutenant of the Tower under

* The whole of my section in The Various Branches of the Bedingfeld Family
(pp. 231, 232) must be considered as superseded by Mr. R. T. Bedingfeld's Supple
ment (pp. 423-434). In particular, page 231, line 38, for "his youngest brother,"
read "of Fleming's Hall," and for "grandson," read "great-grandson." On page
232, line 3, for "probably . . . Strode," read "son of Charles of Swatishall, after
wards Swattisfield Hall, and Agatha Cook, see p. 434." On p. 18, note, for
" Perhaps Henry . . . Hale," read " of Swatishall, see p. 427." To note on p. 106
add, "see p. 427."

BEDINGFELD PAPERS xi

Queen Mary. But he has no place in our records. For though there
are some important State letters at Oxburgh which refer to the politics
in which he was engaged, there are no papers that I could find which
throw light on his character, or social or private life. The earliest
papers of this class are connected with Sir Henry the Cavalier, and
owing to the calamities that befell his closing years, it is the spiritual
and religious side of his character which here comes out clearly,
though it must be admitted that at some periods of his life he had
temporised (p. 2). This wavering, however, would seem not to have
regarded essentials, on which he certainly confessed his faith bravely.*
The meditations contain at least one strange point (§ n), and suggest
various problems indicated on pp. 3 and 4.

However good of their class the meditations composed by the
imprisoned knight, however superior (in spite of their outrageous
spelling) to what most men of our day would write under similar
circumstances, one cannot but notice in them a considerable falling
off from the literary ability displayed in the Elizabethan collection,
contained in the Sydenham Prayer-Book (pp. 22-34). Even apart
from the interesting discovery of Good Queen Mary's Prayer, "which
she used everye mornynge all her lyfe tyme" (pp. 23-27), and the new
poem by the Venerable Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel (p. 29), we
have here several new Elizabethan Catholic hymns, and one or two of
still older date. Besides this, Catholicity amongst the Sydenhams is in
itself somewhat of a discovery, for the family has hitherto been ranked
as Protestant. Yet here is incontestable proof that the ancient Faith
was lingering on within doors, though the head of the family was a
conformist.

How the family and the Catholic tenantry at Oxburgh survived
the ruin of the Civil Wars our papers tell us very, very little, though the
few hints we meet with are ominous enough. If the country gentle
man's house, respected as it usually was by all the neighbourhood, had
hitherto formed the only breakwater against the storm of persecution,
what must have been the fate of the little flock, when the family was

# I find I have omitted at p. 2 an incident of some importance for the Cavalier's
religious opinions. On the 2Oth of November 1641 the House of Lords was informed,
through William Shales, once a falconer at Oxburgh, that while making inquiries
about hawking in Ireland, the Cavalier had used words which were supposed to
betoken that he meant to join the Irish insurgents, " for that there was no safety in
England for any of his religion." Hereupon the knight was sent for, and his papers
put under seal. But on his appearance ten days later he entirely acquitted himself,
was discharged, and the seals were taken away. Mr. Pool, whom the suspicious
Shales, evidently a non-Catholic, had supposed to be a priest, but who was certainly
Henry Widmerpool, the knight's steward (C.R.S. vi.), appeared at the same time.
Sir Henry solemnly declared him not to be a priest, and he under oath confirmed
his master's explanation of the words addressed to Shales. — J. Nalson, Impartial
Collections of Great Affairs of State (1683), ii. 660, 66 1, 690, 691.

xii INTRODUCTION TO THE

driven from its seat, and when the management of the estate was taken
over by the Puritan tax-farmers ! Happily perhaps for us, no record
of life at Oxburgh during that gloomy time remains; but if we may
judge by analogy from what we read concerning martyrs and confessors
of the period, the fate of Catholics in most parts of England was then
pitiful in the extreme.

After the fighting was over, and peace had regained its sway over
the majority, the demands of humanity and justice began to be more
widely respected, and it became possible for the family to settle down
again, not indeed at Oxburgh, but at Beck Hall, not so far off, though
how they eventually weathered the storm is still a matter of conjecture.
Probably they had friends and relatives on both sides, who managed
to discover for them a modus vivendi. It is curious to note in a
history like this (and especially in Marwood's Diary, 58, 59, &c.) how
often the genealogical tree is found to supply an explanation of family
movements, and in particular of movements affecting the children. In
this case the intermediaries may have been Sir Thomas or Mr. Anthony
Bedingfeld, M.P., who are mentioned on pp. 231, 428, 434.

As it must be a very ill wind that blows nobody any good, so even
the Civil Wars brought advantage to a certain section of the Catholic
community, and to that section which one might least have expected
it to benefit. Never were the Catholic convents on the Continent
more flourishing in spirit and in numbers than during the Civil War
period and immediately after. One obvious reason for this was the
immense difficulty which English Catholic girls at that time would
experience in finding suitable homes in their own country. No wonder
that the holy peace and fruitful life of the convents abroad were more
than ever loved and sought after, even though their revenues were
reduced to a vanishing point through the impoverishment of the
Catholics at home. The Bedingfeld family (of the Redlingfield, not
the Oxburgh line) well exemplifies this unusual religious movement, for
a whole generation of sisters, not less than eleven in number, followed
by their mother to make up the twelve, then became nuns in various
convents abroad (below pp. 240, 433), and the names of several are still
notable in the annals of convent history, more than half their number
having eventually become the heads of their respective sisterhoods.

Not least amongst these was Frances, the first since the Reforma
tion to re-establish convent life in England upon a permanent basis ; her
foundation at the Bar Convent, York, being now the oldest house of its
kind in this country. She was also the first to start a religious establish
ment at Hammersmith, in which again religious life still perseveres,
though the sisters are now (after several changes) Nuns of the Sacred
Heart. This Hammersmith foundation is, by an odd coincidence,
also connected with the Bedingfelds of Oxburgh. For when Frances

BEDINGFELD PAPERS xiii

first offered to take the house there, the landlord looked askance at
her poor widow's dress (the only approach to a nun's habit then pos
sible), but on hearing that she was a Bedingfeld, he at once said
that he would trust her " for Coronel Bedingfeld's sake, who was so
worthy and honourable a gentleman, and just dead out of the house." *
Thus we are brought back to the Bedingfelds of Oxburgh, and at the
same time we learn the place of Colonel Thomas's death, and also a
testimony in his commendation, which affords a valuable corrective
to the references made by his brother and nephew at pp. 5 and 36.

The reason why the Colonel had retired to Hammersmith was,
doubtless, because of the ruin that had befallen the Oxburgh property
(pp. 16, 17, 37). He had pledged the timber for ^600, and there
was talk of " pulling down the houses," though how that would have
been an economy, it is hard to see. Sir Henry, the first baronet, who
was already established at Beck Hall, now succeeded to the Oxburgh
property. He does not, however, seem to have migrated thither, but
to have handed the Hall over to his son Henry (afterwards second
baronet), who had just married a well-to-do wife, Lady Anne Howard. t

Upon the whole, the Bedingfelds had much to be thankful for at
this period, in spite of all their losses. Though they did not get back
Eriswell (p. 17), though many of the "great matters," which they were
led to expect, " proved nothing but Court Holy Water," still the effect of
the war on the minds of the King and of all those who sided with him
was to soften down many an old prejudice against the Catholics, the
most loyal, though the most oppressed, subjects of the realm. We
meet with many indications (pp. 19, 20, 21, 37, 241, &c.) that the
family was now in greater favour than ever before, and that the state
of ostracism, in which most Catholics had had to live at earlier times,
had in great measure passed away.

A vivid and interesting illustration of their improved fortunes is
the family group, of which a photogravure forms our frontispiece.
That it commemorates the escape of the family from the grave perils
of that hazardous time is clear at sight, but the significance of the
details is so far undetermined. J

At the time of Oates's plot the family had something to suffer, like

* St. Mary's Convent, York, p. 60. I should have added in my note at p. 240
below that this book contains a very interesting portrait of Mother Frances, and
perhaps the fullest printed account (pp. 44-60) of the eleven Bedingfeld nun sisters.

t The first baronet, even after death, was given the distinctive epithet " of
Beck Hall " (p. 242). The second baronet speaks on p. 38 of " Purchases made by
me H. B. since 1668," and on the previous page he says he is going back to the
time " when first I came to live," i.e. at Oxburgh. The inference clearly is that he
came in 1668.

J The figures are, I fancy, painted from the portraits reproduced at pp. 20, 34, 90.
It is therefore posterior to them, and certainly inferior to them in execution.

xiv INTRODUCTION TO THE

most of their co-religionists. The only explicit reference to them
which I have noticed is in Father Peter Hamerton's vivid description
of his adventures at that crisis, and is very brief.

Father Hamerton reports that Father Richard Strange made in
quiries "concerning the searches (sic) made after him at Sir Henry
Benefields." * Whether these searches took place at Beck Hall, or
Oxburgh, or in both places, does not appear. As there was more than
one search, Oxburgh is not likely to have escaped. As to this, it may
not be amiss to call to mind that few ordeals of the persecution were more
onerous and painful than that of having one's house turned topsy-turvy
by a horde of Puritan fanatics, t It is likely that there were several
"searches" during the time of Elizabeth, as well as during the Civil
Wars. The last " search" was during the '45, when Sir Henry Arundell
Bedingfeld, partly by reason of his many friends, but chiefly through his
tact and skill, succeeded in avoiding serious consequences (p. 165).

This, however, is anticipating. We must go back to that very
interesting personality Thomas Marwood, who has contributed so
many interesting pages to the Bedingfeld Memoirs. He was a convert,
but the Memoranda which we have relating to this event gives us very
few details, though they show us a man of very remarkable earnestness,
self-denial, high principle, and piety (pp. 41-44). His Diary throws a
very welcome light on the life of Catholics beyond the seas, where they
were free to practise their religion, and gladly availed themselves of
their liberty. Marwood's attention is of course principally fixed on his
young charge, and he watches over his health and education with the
most devoted constancy ; but he also has eyes for all that is going on
around, and he has recorded the names of a great number of other
English exiles, some Jacobites, but mostly Catholics, who do not dis
play very extraordinary zeal on behalf of the fallen house (pp. 86, 118),
and there were numerous English convents to be visited, and in
most of which there was some relative or connection, who made them
welcome. We can see how thoroughly Marwood enjoyed the open
churches, the great ceremonies, the long but often excellent sermons,
the pilgrimages, shrines, relics, the active works of charity, and the
various religious objects and practices which are usual in Catholic
countries, but were then almost unknown in poor England.

Though it is sad to see how many young Catholics educated along
with Henry Arundell Bedingfeld afterwards lost their faith amid the
deceptions and severities, the threats and coaxings of penal laws and
worldly advisers (pp. 94, 116, 117, 194, &c.), it might nevertheless, one

would think, have been prognosticated that a boy so talented, amiable,
and high-principled as Henry Arundell Bedingfeld, would have been
sure to make his mark as a Catholic in later life. In truth his time
did come, but not until old age was setting in, and infirmities had
sapped his strength and vigour. The occasion came through the fall
of one who should, if he had been true to his vocation, have been a
strong support to the Catholic cause.

This was Archibald Bower, a Scotchman, once a Jesuit, and a man
of good (though not extraordinary) abilities, who had fallen igno-
miniously in Italy, and then endeavoured to make out that he was a
martyr to the Roman Inquisition. After several half-hearted (or, as
many thought, only half-sincere) attempts to put himself right, he
became more hostile than ever to Catholics, assailed them virulently
in the press, and caused violent measures of persecution to be taken
against his Catholic kith and kin. The matter interested Sir Henry
Arundell all the more, as the then Jesuit Provincial, Father Carteret,
who had had much to do with Bower, had also at one time been
chaplain at Oxburgh. The Baronet, therefore, exerted his influence
among his Protestant friends to unmask the rascal's insincerity. Alban
Butler, the ablest Catholic writer of the day, had indeed already exposed
Bower's deceits and pretensions, but, being a Catholic, he had not won
a hearing. The correspondence printed below will show in detail how
Sir Henry prevailed on Protestant writers of distinction to undertake
the same task, and with entire success. Though there were a few
critical moments, when nervous Catholics were in anxiety as to " what
lengths revenge may make some great persons take" (p. 184), the
defeat of the anti-Catholic writer was complete. Though there still
remained fanatics, whom no reasons could convince, the good under
standing between Catholics and fair-minded Protestants was unmistak
ably improved.

The Bedingfeld papers show but few indications of the great
changes that affected the lot of Catholics at the close of the eighteenth
century. If that whole generation was notoriously unadventuresome
and humdrum, the then representative of the family was the most
stop-at-home member of it that we meet with ; yet he, too, has left some
notes of the dark hours that preceded the dawn (pp. 198-210). Sad
memories are those, which are connected with his brief references
to the "Curse of Cowdray," the Gordon Riots, the outbreak of the
French Revolution, and the migration to England of the convents
that had existed for so long in Flanders. More satisfactory are the
references to the two Emancipation Acts, and with them we may
conclude this general sketch of the matters of wider Catholic interest
referred to in the papers before us. There are, of course, a variety
of other topics worthy of attention, the various educational systems in

xvi INTRODUCTION

which the boys of the family were educated at Brussels, Bornhem,
La Fleche, St. Omers, Old Hall, Liege, Angers, &c., should all deserve
more than passing note. It is curious again that the first confirmation
held at Oxburgh should have been as late as 1805.

It remains for me to express my thanks to all those who have given
me assistance, and in the first place to Sir Henry and Lady Bedingfeld,
who not only gave me every possible convenience for seeing and
studying their papers, but who also actively assisted in this publication
by copying, annotating, supplying photographs, and giving information
of many sorts. I must also again express my obligations to Father
P. Ryan, S.J., and to Miss Stearn for varied help, without which I
should not have been able to undertake this publication.

MEMORIALS OF SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD,
THE CAVALIER

THE earliest personal memoirs which have so far been found at Oxburgh
relate to the Cavalier who behaved so gallantly and suffered so grievously
in the Civil Wars. His monument in Oxburgh Church calls him the Seven
teenth Knight of his family, but it will be more convenient for us to style
him here by the honourable epithet of Cavalier, which he so well deserved.
The dire calamities which befell Oxburgh Hall during the Civil Wars no
doubt explain why we know so little about one whose life was presumably
as full, if not more full of incident than that of any other bearer of his name.
Be this as it may, we have before us only a "Case" by Thomas Marwood,
of whom we shall hear more later, a few notes on the christening of his
children, and his " Meditations in the Tower." The latter may be given
first, for though on the one hand they may be classed under literature or
asceticism, yet on closer attention it will be found that they tell us not a little
of the personality of their writer and of the misfortunes he was passing
through.

Sir Henry ruled at the Hall for an unusually long time, for his father died
in 1 590, when he was a mere child. The times were indeed stirring, but very
dangerous for Catholics. He would have just remembered the Armada and
have had some recollections of the times of danger to the realm that pre
ceded and followed it. More vividly would he have recalled the better
things that followed the accession of King James, soon to be succeeded by
the sharp outbreak of persecution that ensued after the Powder Plot. These
difficulties lasted for twenty years, till the match of Charles with the Princess
of France brought a short breathing space.

Partly to avoid these protracted evils, partly, I think, in pursuit of
education and adventure, and partly perhaps because of a bereavement, of
which more immediately, Sir Henry obtained as early as November 23,
1607, a licence to travel for three years in company with Francis, son of
Lord William Howard {Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, 1603-1610).
His fellow traveller was the founder of the family of Howards of Corby
Castle, and he had married his sister Mary, the daughter of Lord William
Howard of Naworth, " Belted Will" of Border Minstrelsy, and the founder
of the family of the Earls of Carlisle.

The Lady Mary bore him one son, Thomas, and then died. We do
not know the precise date, but it may well have been before 1607, and
if so might account for his journey abroad. He subsequently married
Elizabeth Houghton, by whom he had eleven children, some of whom,
however, died infants.

In 1620 Sir Henry was Sheriff of Norfolk, in 1626 he was on the Com
mission of Peace (Mason, History of Norfolk, \. 256). Between these
dates he was occupied in raising troops for the war in the Palatinate. All
this was connected with the slow and gradual relaxation of persecution,
which, as we have said, followed the French match.

On the 2 ist of July 1626, Secretary Conway wrote a letter to
Attorney-General Heath, inquiring whether King Charles could comply
with the recommendations of the Queen Mother of France in regard to
Sir Henry Bedingfeld. Unfortunately we have neither got the recom
mendations of the French queen, nor the answer of the Crown lawyer, so
we cannot carry our inferences very far. But we see plainly that Sir Henry

VII. A

has now acquired a very powerful patroness, and we know that her in
fluence in favour of humanity and toleration was considerable. So we are
not surprised to see at our next passing glance (Domestic Calendar,
February 2, 1638) signs of prosperity, even of affluence. We hear that
he has lately "purchased divers manors in Norfolk." Law proceedings
indeed were threatened in regard to certain rights, thereby affected ; but
the general import of the paper is clearly indicative of improvement.

At last in July 1639 (Calendar, ibid.} Sir Henry received "his Majesty's
letters of grace in bar of the laws against Recusants." This grant formed
the high-water mark of his worldly fortunes. But the long-awaited relief
was only of short duration. Three years more and a series of overwhelming
calamities would commence.

When the Civil War broke out he with his sons Thomas, Henry, and
William raised forces and fought on the king's side. The three sons were
commissioned as colonel and captain of horse and captain ; while his sons-
in-law, Robert Apreece of Washingley and William Cobbe of Sandringham,
were also colonels in the loyalist ranks. The misfortunes, however, which
attended the royal arms soon overtook them. The county of Norfolk came
under the power of the Puritans at an early date. Just beyond its borders,
indeed, the young Bedingfelds would have fought on with better hopes.
Lynn itself held out as late as the i6th of September 1643, and Lincoln
with varying fortune, taken for the second time October the 2oth, 1643,
was recaptured by Prince Rupert. But finally the cathedral close was
carried by assault on the 6th of May 1644, at which time Colonel Apreece
was shot in cold blood as a Papist, and Thomas Bedingfeld, as we shall
hear him say below, was wounded and taken prisoner.

It has been stated (by Mrs. Herbert Jones in Sandringham Past and
Present, 1887, p. 85) that Sir Henry, with Sir Hamon le Strange and his son,
Roger le Strange, Sir Richard Hovell of Hillington, and others, with their
retainers, had ridden to the assistance of Lynn, with the result that Sir Henry
was taken as one of the hostages who were kept until the conditions of the
surrender of Lynn were fulfilled.

She quotes for this "a curious narrative of the siege of Lynn, contained
in a small pamphlet printed soon after by G. Bishop and R. White (a copy
in the possession of E. M. Beloe, Esq., of King's Lynn), which gives many
particulars, and states that Sir Henry was one of the hostages," &c. But
there is a copy of what seems to be this very tract in the British Museum,
A brief and true relation of the Seige and Surrendering of Kings Lynn to the
Earl of Manchester (same printers), and in this Sir Henry's name is never
mentioned at all ! I imagine, nevertheless, that the authoress has not been
mistaken as to the facts she relates, but has inadvertently ascribed them to
the wrong source.

As to this and many other events in the life of the Cavalier, which do
not proximately concern the papers before us, much must be left to some
future historian of the Bedingfelds. Many interesting details might certainly
be discovered about his recusancy * and his property. Especially important
would it be to clear up the crowning events of his life. Why, if he was at
first kept as a hostage, was he subsequently confined to the Tower? Why
did he, according to Wotton's MS., " narrowly escape death"? How long
did his confinement last ? t

\Vhatever be the eventual answer to these questions, it will suffice for
the understanding of the papers which follow to remember that our Cavalier,
after having gradually recovered the high station in life, which by birth

* Sir Henry had sometimes conformed. Edward Bedingfeld, his cousin, wrote
in 1614: "My chief relative is Sir Henry Bedingfeld— a schismatic" (Foley,
Records, S.J., \. 571). But this must have been temporary, as is clear from King
Charles's dispensation.

| See also below, A'otes on the Bedingfeld Pedigree.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE CAVALIER 3

belonged to him, was exposed at the age of sixty to repeated and crushing
defeats in the field of battle, to confiscation of goods, to confinement in the
closest of prisons, and to the risk of death on the gallows.

Moreover his estate had been sequestered (before 5th June 1648), he
was not admitted to compound for delinquency, and trustees were ap
pointed to receive the rents and profits of his estate {Calendar, Dom.
Chas. /., 1648-9, p. 98), and from now onwards there are a good many
entries regarding the property in the papers of the Committee for Com
pounding. Their true meaning is often quite different from what appears
on the surface, for we know that the family managed eventually to buy
back most of the estate underhand, through the intervention of friends.
A few points, however, are clear. One is that the tenants loyally
held out for their master for several years, for the Parliamentary receiver
complains even in 1650 that the rents are often secretly paid to Sir
Henry and that he can get very little. Nevertheless, it is also clear that
soon after this the screw was tightened and the payments were made,
amounting to ,£1638 per year. Between the 24th of March and the
i6th of October 1652 the estates were sold, and the figures given in the
Calendar (pp. 2622-2626) correspond fairly with those given in the paper,
printed by Betham (Baronetage, ii. 195) and others, in which the total
loss is given at .£47,194, i8s. 8d. It is clear that these figures are not
exaggerated.

In 1655 there were new troubles. Henry Bedingfeld, the second son (see
below, § III.), was in confinement at Lynn for fourteen weeks, and on the 3rd
of October "Captain W. Bedingfeld of Ashill, Colonel Cobbe, Colonel John
Paston, and Colonel Bedingfeld were sent prisoners to London." There was
probably some idea of their being connected with the attempts, now often
made, against Cromwell's life. It would seem, however, that they cleared
themselves, for Colonel Thomas got a licence to cross the seas (February 18,
1658), and afterwards Dorothy Paston and Frances Bedingfeld obtained
a similar permission. But the aged Cavalier did not survive to see this
amelioration in the state of his family. In the autumn of 1657 his strength
began to fail under a combined attack of " Quartan ague and Dropsy." At
last, after ten weeks' illness, he breathed his last on the 22nd of November
1657. He was buried in the family chapel at Oxburgh, but his monument
must have been erected later.

As to the light thrown by the Meditations now printed on the personality
of their author, we have only to ask ourselves what the ordinary inference is
when we find a soldier (who, as we hear below, " was a great Sportsman and
kept a great house ") writing with his own hand and sending to his wife
"Meditations on the sufferings of Christ" and "Aspirations of a devout Soul'1?
Does it not at once vividly bring before us the Catholic of those days,
though loyal to all extremities, yet robbed, imprisoned, rejected by the
world, with but one refuge, prayer and patience ? This volume is the keep
sake of her husband, which his wife treasured "in her closett" until her
death, and which their descendants have ever since honoured as the most
venerable memorial of their great ancestor. And so it undoubtedly is. The
words, the thoughts, the circumstances of the composition, even (as we shall
see) the reticences, speak to us clearly of a calm, strong, courageous soul,
with a natural facility in the use of his mother-tongue, lovingly and sincerely
true to the principles of his religion.

Turning to the structure and composition of these meditations, we shall
easily perceive that though the spelling be below the average, even for those
days, the composition itself is correspondingly above what might ordinarily
have been expected from a soldier, sportsman, and man of the world. In
deed there seems to be an art in them which it is difficult to consider due to
the unaided skill of a novice in literature. Notice the skilful way in which
he deals with large and complex subjects like the life of Christ, dividing them

4 MEMORIALS OF

up deftly into many points and sections, which in two cases reach the perfect
square, sixteen, and in the third the round and seemly number ten. We
should hardly have imagined a middle-aged beginner attending to the
balance of meditation with petition, to subtle repetitions * and sonorous
terminations, to cadence and to rhythm. Yet these ornaments of speech
are found in every paragraph. May we not, therefore, feel inclined to say
that this is rather more than we should have expected from one of Sir
Henry's education and position in life ? The prayer of St. Augustine he
must have translated, and it seems to me probable that the other prayers
are also possibly modelled on some pre-existing texts, if they are not also
translations. Perhaps the quaint legend, which is mentioned in Medita
tion n, and is derived from the "Seven Falls of Christ," may lead to the
identification of one of the prayer-books used by the Cavalier.

And if this be so it will add to their significance. It will mean that his
wife had passed him in some book of devotions, perhaps in Latin or in
French, and that he passed out to her these compositions, based on the
models she had sent him. For this there was a striking precedent in his
family. Sir Henry's first wife, Mary Howard (of Naworth), was a niece of
the Venerable Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel, whose wife, Anne Dacre,
had passed in to him, while he lay in the Tower, Lanspergius's Latin works,
and had received back English translations from that book, with other pious
compositions modelled on the same author, which she eventually had pub
lished (with some original verses of the Earl) in the Epistle of Christ to the
Christian Soul (see also below, p. 29). The example of Blessed Thomas
More may also have occurred to the minds of these good Catholics.

It will be noticed that while the language and thought of these meditations
is everywhere perfectly orthodox (cf. the cultus of Mary, pp. 6, n ; of Saints,
pp. 6, 1 1 ; and the correct expressions about justification) there is a clear
desire to avoid topics which might unnecessarily offend Protestants. There
is nothing about Mass, the Holy Eucharist, the Sovereign Pontiff, or the
souls in Purgatory.

These omissions are no doubt due to fear of the Puritan censors, through
whose hands the book would have to pass when leaving the Tower. Even
the reticences of these meditations have their significance.

The volume, from which the Meditations are printed, is a thin large
quarto, bound in white vellum with green silk strings, of twenty-four doubled
pages, bearing outside a label, with the following title in a modern hand :
Sir Henry Bedingfelcfs Meditations. Sir Henry, the first baronet, the second
son of the Cavalier, has with his own hand written the title and the following
somewhat discursive preface : —

The inscription on the tomb, however, speaks of "Three years in the Tower," and
this would bring us to 1649.

MEDITATIONS OF THE PASSION OF OUR BLESSED SAVIOUR

O Jesu what are we, that you shouldst come out of the Imperiall
thron of heven, and to remane here on earth, thirty three yeares, in
servitued and obedians, unto human cretuers, for us, your most
unwourthy servants, and to suffer thy self to be bannisshed, out of thy
owne cuntry, by that tirant Herod, into a strang plase, when you could
get no other habitation, then to be laied in a stable, and a manger,
a moung brute beastes, by which meanes you lost all the conveniancy
of thy supposed Fathers and mothers house. I beseach you, by your
infinight humility, you shewed at your first enterans into the wourld,*
to for give me all my sinnes, that ever I have committed a gainst your
hevenly Majesty, and to strengthen me with patiens to under go all
things, what you shall please to have laied upon me.

Then there was three kings, out of forren nations, a pointed to
attend your hevenly Majesty, out of forren cunteres, who were gided,
by a miraculus stare, sent from heven, and thay coming by Herod,
a quainted him with there bussines, and he commanded them, when
thay had found out sweete Jesu, that thay should returne unto him
a gaine, that he might likewaies go to adore him, though his intension
was to murder our blessed saviour. And these three kings coming in to
a stable a moung brute beastes, found this blessed infant, laied in the
manger. Unto home thay prostrated them selfes, one there fase, an
a dored him, offering unto him, mer and gould. But there thay con
tinued not long, but were commanded to returne home, unto there
owne habitassions, but not by Herod. And Herod finding him self
deceaved grew into so greate a fury, as he commanded all the
innocens to be murdered, that were of the age of our hevenly saviour,
by which meanes, O you blessed innocens you obtained the kingdom
of our hevenly father, where I beseach you to prostrate your selfes,
at the feete of our hevenly father, humbly to beg of him,* to forgive
me all my sinnes, that ever I have committed a gainst him, and to
strengthen me, to under go, what your blessed Majesty shall please to
have laied upon me.

Then the tirant being deade, blessed Josife, was commanded to
returne unto his owne habitasion, and to carry with him blessed Jesu,
and his blessed mother, which he performed, where our deare saviour,
was pleased to remaine many yeares, in obedians unto human power,
and seeing his passion to grow ny at hand, he begged leave of his
blessed mother, that he might go forth, to Preach the gospel, and to
do his meracles one earth, which she granted, unto her dearly beloved
sonne, with shedding of many teares, and much affliction of mind, for
parting with such a sonne. O blessed mother of Jesu, I beseach you
by the teares you then shed, and by the afflicktion you then felt, to
make intersession for me, that he would * for give me my sinnes, that
I have committed a gainst him, and that he would strengthen me to
under go all things, what he shall please to lay upon me.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE CAVALIER

Then he went forth and preached the gospel, and did his merrikels
one earth, which none but god and man could do, for you revived the
dead to life, and the dum to speach, and the blind to sight, o my
eternall god and saviour, I be seach you, by the preaching of thy
gospel, and by the merackles you did one earth, I be seach you,* to
for give me all my sinnes that ever I have committed against your
devine Majesty, and to strengthen me, to under go all things, what you
shall please to have laied upon me.

Then Jesu cam unto Jerusalem, where he was entertained, with all
pompe and glory, the peepel casting there garments before his feete to
treade upon. But there he remained not long, seeing his passion grow
ing up at hand, but he retired him self into the garding, to make his
praiers unto his hevenly father, when he perceved his passion to be so
bitter, and sharp, as you be[g]gest of thy hevenly father, that if it were
his will, that this challis might pas from thee. If not, his will be done,
and not thine. And then our blessed saviour, did sweate a bundans of
blud, from his most presious face and boddy. O deare Jesu I be seach
you by the humble praier you made unto your hevenly father, in the
gardin and by the presious blud, that ranne from thy devine face
and boddy,* for give me all my sinnes, that ever I have committed
a gainst my deare saviour, and to strengthen me to under go all things,
what you shall please to have laied one me.

And then sweet Jesu cam out of the gardin, wher he meete Judas,
that traitor, which had sould his Mr, Jesu, for thirty peeses of silver
unto the Jues who came with a number of armed men. And his sine
was to discover him, by giving him a kis, which he had no soner done,
but thay laied violent hands one our deare saviour, and Peter seeing
it dru forth his swourd, and stroke of one of the hy Priest servants
eare, and Jesu tooke up the eare, and put it one miraculusly, and yet
these barberus peepel, did spit, upon his hevenly fase, the light of
heven and earth, spurning of him, and draging you one the ground.
Sweet Jesu, I be seach you by the infinight reproches, and disgraces put
a pon the, and by the patiens you soffered them with all, I be seach
you, of thy greate mercy,* to pardon all my sinnes that ever I have
committed a gainst your devine Majesty, and to strengthen me to
undergo all things, what you shall please to have laied upon me.

And then sweete Jesu was brought be fore the Juge, where thay
accused him of many a rongful thing, and said he had blasfemed
who never had offended, but there he staied not long, but our
deare Jesu was commanded to be carried unto a piller, and there
to be scurged, with most bitter, and sharpe cords, which was per
formed, with all severity, drawing a most infinight quantity of thy
most precious blud, from your most precious sides, and making
many wounds one your presious boddy. And not being sattisfied

8 MEMORIALS OF

with this, thay put one his close a gaine one his most blessed
boddy, that thay might suck into his presious wounds, that thay
might tortuer our deare saviour, the more, by pulling them of againe.
O my eternall god and saviour, I beseach you, of your eternall
mersy, and by the presious blud you then shed, and by the presious
woundes, you receaved of your blessed boddy, and by the tortuers that
thay put sweete Jesu unto, by putting one his clothes and tering them
of againe, I beseach you * to forgive me all my sinnes, that ever, I have
committed against your hevenly Majesty, and to strengthen me to under
go all things, what you shall please to have laied uppon me.

And these tortuers, you o Lord suffered not for thy owne offences,
for you never had sinned, but for owers, thy most unwourtiest of cretuers,
nay for me the most unwourthyest of creatuers, be reson you have
bestowed, so many favours of me, as I blush to think how il I have
requited them, yet o Lord I am thine, and none but thine, for which I
beseach you, to pardon my life past, and to give me thy grase never to
offend your devine Majesty againe, after this minnet.

And then ouer blessed saviour was brought before the Jug, and he
committed him to prisson for that night, and to be attended one by
souldiers, which was performed with all severity, first thay put upon his
prescious boddy a purpel garment, and a blessed reade into his presious
hand, and then thay plased a blessed crowne of thornes, one his presious
hed, and blindfouled his hevenly eies, the light of heven and earth,
spurning and buffitting him, criing, If you be the sonne of god, and
man, tel us who it was, that stroke you. O sweete Jesu, by the reproches
and disgrases put apon you, and by the tortuers you then felt, I beseach
you * to forgive me all my sinnes, that ever, I have committed against
your hevenly Majesty, and to strengthen me, to under go all things, what
you shall please to have laied uppon me.

Then they brought sweete Jesu before the Jug the next morning,
and he tould the peapel that he found you to be a most innosent man,
and that he would wash his hands of thy blud, and they cried out, His
blud light upon ous, and owers. Then he demanded whether Barberous,
or Jesu should suffer, and thay cried out, Jesus : though thay knew,
Barberous a notorious theife, and a murderer. Then he commanded my
deare Jesus, to carry the hevy burthen, of the crose, which he was
hardly able to performe, by reson of his hard usage, and the lose of so
much of his presious blud, and being for saken by all his frinds.
O sweete Jesus what can I expect, from human power, when thou
werte for saken of all thy frinds, being the sonne of god and man. No
my deare saviour it is not human power, that I beg for, but thy love
and thy presans which I desier, and if you please to grant me, I shall
be made hole, and safe, if not I had better never to have bin borne,
but if you please to graunt my sute, I shal be most happy, which I beg
of you, by your hole merrets, and passion.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE CAVALIER

And then my Blessed saviour cam unto the plase of his soffering,
where he was laide upon the holy cros, and nailed there unto, with
three fearse drivn nailes, persing his most blessed hands and feete, and
his persicutors, not being satisfied with this, threw ower sweete Jesus,
hedlong into a pit,'f' which thay had diged for the purpose, to teare his
blessed flesh and vaines, to tourtuer him the more. O sweet Jesus, I
beseach you, by the pressious wounds, that you receaved one the holy
crose, and by the tortuers you felt there one, I beseach * you to pardon
all my sinnes that ever, I have committed a gainst your hevenly Majesty,
and to strengthen me to under go all things, what you shall please, to
have laied uppon me.

And then thay raised the againe, and you cried out, O father will
you for sake me. No my deare saviour, he left thee unto thy self, for thy
greater honor and glory, for thou wert willing to shew thy most
magniffecent pattions, and to shew thy love unto mankind, for you had
power of thy owne, to have confounded them all into the bottomles pit
of hel, if you had pleased, but sweete Jesus was willing to shew his in-
fenight patiens, and his love and affection unto mankind. O my eternall
god and saviour, I beseach you, by your patiens, then shewed, and by
the love you shewed unto mankind,* to forgive me all my sinnes, that
ever I have committed, against your devine Majesty and to strengthen
me to under go all things what you shall please, to suffer to have laied
one me.

And then my deare saviour, was plased betwene to theefes, one the
holy cros, where one of them repented him self, of his sinnes, and
acknowledged Jesus, to be the sonne of god the father. Jesus saide unto
him, This day shalt thou be with me in paredise. O by that blessed
speach, saiing, This day thow shall be with me in parridise, I be
seach you sweete Jesus, to give me your grase to live after that manner,
that at my departuer out of this wourld, I may heare thy devine voice,
saiing, This day, I shal be, with sweete Jesus in parredise.

And then sweete Jesus, demanded drinck be reson of his hard
usage, and the losse of so much, of his presious blud, and thay gave
him gall and vinegar to drinck, and thus thay mocked the saviour of
all. Jesu I beg of your eternall goodnes, and by the blessed gall and
vinnegar, that was given you to drinck,* to for give me all my sinnes,
that ever I have committed against your hevenly Majesty, and to
strengthen me with patiens, to under go all things, that you shall suffer,
to be laide one me.

t This refers to the legend current among many writers at the beginning of the
sixteenth century, that when the cross, with the Crucified upon it, was raised up, it
was allowed to fall forwards again to the earth (II. Thurston, Stations of the Cross,
1906, p. 75).

And then thay thrust a speare, into the blessed side of our deare

[TEN] ASPIRATIONS AND AFFECTIONS OF A DEVOUT SOULE,

which abandonee her self unto Jesus Christ our Lord

1. O Jesus, I renounce my owne will to accomplish yours, I purpose
to for sake my waies and those of the wourld, to walke and live by
yours. I wish that my comportment may remaine in your conduct, my
derection in your derection, as you shall derect me. Wherefore for
your sake, I will become unable and nothing, that you may be my all.

2. O Jesus, I give you my hart, and my hole being, that it may be
yours, for the ende you have created it, and I humbly beg that your
devine nature may distroie my depraved inclinations.

3. O Jesus, I will depend on you, and remaine yours for ever, in
the waies which you shall please to ordaine for me, without making
choise of the least thing, that presents it self one earth, but entierly
submitting to you, in the waies of all sufferances and repugnances to
my self.

4. O Jesus, I make a present of my state of privation where in I live,
unto that which you have endured for me, in which you ceased not to
be attentive, in contemplating your Father. I render you a donation
of my self, that no distinction may devert me from you, but that I may
be holy taken up in you, by submission unto your self in this state,
not seeking my owne satisfaction, even in my thoughts of your self,
but with an humble recignation, I desier to beare this distraction,
which I wish to abide in, for no other end then to suffer.

5. O Jesus, I dedicate my self unto your devine power, to the ende
it may governe the weakenesses of my natuer, and that I may no longer
acte by the instinct thereof, for I utterly renounce it for ever, and I
desier that my meanesse may submit unto your greatenes, my feeble-
nes unto your force, to be governed by them.

6. O Jesus, I give my being unto your being, my life to your life,
my thoughts to your thoughts, my wourd to your wourd, my love to
your love, my soule to your blessed soule, my power to your power,
that when I shall do any thing of my self, it may be no longer mine,
and that I may drawe no farther liberty to make use of all that is

SIR HENRY BEDIXGFELD, THE CAVALIER 13

mine, since I have give you all, I offer my self unto you, o my god,
to beare all the states of sufferances, as well interiour as exteriour,
to the ende my life in them may honor yours, and that I may enjoy
no life for me but for you, and for this effect, that I may employ it
to your use, and not for the wourld, and all that I shall doe therin, I
desier that the same may be for you.

7. I renounce my self, o my god, to give my self to you, and I
renounce all thoughts which are not of and from you, I offer my self
unto your very Infancy, o Jesus, to partake of the grace of that mistery,
and to reenter into your innocency, that this heavenly mistere may be
applied unto the impurity of my nature, to render it capable of your
residence.

8. Jesus, in honor of your life, humble on earth, I accept, with a
willing hart, all humilliations, which shall happen to me, though re
pugnant to my self.

9. O Jesus, I renounce all the repugnances, which I have to suffer,
and to beare humiliations, I accept them, though never so contrary
to my sence, and I submite unto your will, to suffer the paine of my
sense, to unite my self unto your holy will, to the eande, that what
soever is in me refractory to what thay enioine, may be a subiect to
my conforming my self to them and submitting me to you.

10. O Jesus, I desire to enter into your kingdome, and to a bandon
all the affections of this wourld, I renounce all the desires, which I
might have, to posses riches and the esteeme of men, that my desiers
may aime at eternall, not temporall, things, to that I will apply my self,
but renounce all that appertaines to the world, and all my proper
interest, to entertaine my self with those which concernes your glory,
which I humbly request may raine over my sperit, to seperate it from
earthly things and from all that is not yours, Be you my strength in
sufferance, fight for me, be you my life, give me a plase in your habita
tion, to the end nothing may enter into my hart, which may hinder
you from possesing me, o Jesus posses my soule. Amen.

Two PAPERS BY SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD ON THE CHRISTENINGS
AND GODPARENTS OF HIS CHILDREN

As appears from the Cavalier's monument, he had twelve children. The
first of the following papers mentions four boys and three girls, the second
five girls and three boys ; that is nine in all.

The paper is copied by Sir Henry, the first baronet, on some blank
leaves at the end of the Meditations, and he adds the following note, which
tells us where he found the originals, and what their authority is.

This I copied out of two papers I found in my mother's closett
after her death, written with my ffathers owne hand.

No. 3

The following short paper gives us our first introduction to Mr. Thomas
Marwood, of whom we shall hear more later on. It also gives us a vivid
indication of the troubles and uncertainties, which remained for years after the
confiscations under the Commonwealth. Sir Henry Bedingfeld " of Beckall "
was the first baronet. The reason of his not being described as " of Oxburgh "
was that Oxburgh Hall was left in an uninhabitable condition after the desola
tion of the civil wars. The fifteenth-century roof-timbers of the Hall on the
east side still show signs of fire, and it is believed that this was due to the
accidental fire by which the Parliamentary occupiers burnt a considerable
part of the old building. " My house [i.e. Oxburgh] being burnt," says the
second baronet below, "gave my wife small encouragement to live there.
In supplying the house with furniture that was burnt, and making it habit
able, it cost me 1000^" (below, p. 37). In his elder brother Thomas's time
there was danger of "the houses being pulled down" altogether (above,
p. 5). Beck Hall therefore became the family seat, until Oxburgh was
restored. "Grandmother Paston" retired there after Edmund Paston's
death, and died there in 1654 (beloiv, p. 37). The house has been rebuilt
on the old lines, and is now a farmstead surrounded by a moat. It was
first a hospital for poor travellers, then a house of the Cokes, whose arms
are still upon it.

Sr HENRY BEDINGFELD'S CASE ABOUT OXBURGH LIVING

In ye year 1641 Sr Henry Bedingfeld took up Armes for y° King.
He was made prisoner in ye tower & his Estate seized by that Parlia
ment. Whilst he was in ye tower, comes to him Mr Merton (the Grand
father to ye present incumbent) & desired to buy the perpetuall aduowson
of Oxburgh. " For," says he, " sence ye Estate is lost as to you ; you
had as good lett me have it (for Something) as a stranger for Nothing."
But Sr H. B. answered, " I cannot sell the perpetuity, as being but
tenant for life." Mr Merton answered, " I minde not that. Let me
have your Name & lett me alone to deal wth ye parliament." Where
upon, to oblige Mr Merton (to whom he did no wrong; because he told
him he was but tenant for life), he tooke a small some of money, & gave
him a deed of sale.

After Sr H. B.f got out of ye tower, he told his son what he had
done, vz. upon ye Motives urged by Mr Meriton ; who had then
presented his son, the late Mr Meriton. Moreover Sr H. B. told his
son, " I charge you on my blessing never to disturbe them during yr
life ; as for yr Son, he is at his own liberty."

This account I had from Sr Henry Bedingfeld's (of Beckall) owne
mouth.

Witnesse my hand this 8th day of November 1713.

i6 COLONEL THOMAS BEDINGFELD

COLONEL THOMAS BEDINGFELD
Born about 1605 ; succeeded, 22 November 1657 ; died, 25 April 1665

Of Thomas Bedingfeld, eldest son of the Cavalier, we have already
heard several particulars. He may possibly have seen service in the
Palatinate in 1624, and in 1639 the Calendars of State Papers show that,
being now a captain, he, with the king's licence, was helping to raise 1000
men to fight for the King of Spain. I do not find any particulars of his
services, but his experiences would no doubt have prepared the way for his
being put at the head of a troop of soldiers when the Civil War broke out.
We hear something about this troop, after the Restoration, from a tract,
with the long descriptive title, A List of Officers claiming the £60,000
granted by }lis Majesty for the relief of his Truly-Loyal and indigent
party, 1663, 4to.

Power, soe as his Father and hee have been Damnified above threescore
thousand pounds.

That out of compassion of his Father's Sufferings, and att his Intreaty,
hee concurred with his Father at the time when his Estate was sold, as
aforesaid, in the Sale of Severall Lands and amongst others of the Mannors
of Eastwell and Chamberlen * in the County of Suffolk to the then
pretended President and Society for the Propagation of ye Gospell in New
England for a Summe of money whereof no part was paid to ye petitioner
or his Father, but all in those hands, who purchased the petitioner's Estate
at Urury house, where your petitioner and his Father were enforced to pay
21,000 li more for Repurchasing the rest of his estate from the said first
purchasers therof, for which his Lands (remaining Unsold) stand yet
engaged.

Now, forasmuch as by the Providence of God it so falls out that
the said Sale made to the pretended corporation is voyd in Law, for that
they were not capable to purchase, being Erected without Authority
other then by the Usurped Power, and did consist of Persons altogether
Averse to your Royall Father's and your Majesty's Authority, whereupon
your petitioner to his great Releife in his present Necessities and satis
faction of his creditors hath lately entred upon, and is according to the
law Justly in possession of the same.

May it therefore please your most Excellent Maiesty, that your
Royall Pleasure may be signifyed to your Attorney and Sollicitor
Generalls, that in any further Charter or Grant, which may be ob
tained from your Majesty to confirm such Corporation as aforesaid,
speciall care be had, that your petitioners title to the said Lands, so
farr as by Law belongs unto him, may not in any wayes be impaired.

Endorsed. The Petition of Coll11 Bedingfield.

R. H. Mason, History of Norfolk, (1884) gives the sequel. "These
Eriswell estates, now estimated to be of the value of .£7000 per annum, were
lost to the Bedingfeld family, who never received any equivalent or com
pensation. They were sold several years since by the New England Society
to H. H. Dhuleep Sing" (p. 329), and have lately passed into the hands of
Lord Iveagh.

i8 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE FIRST BARONET

III

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE FIRST BARONET

Born, 10 May 1613; created Baronet, z January 1661 ;
succeeded, 25 April 1665 ; died, 24 February 1685

OF Sir Henry, the first Baronet, the earliest mention I find regards his
recusancy. There is a memorandum dated June 1634, ordering inquiry to
be made about Henry Bedingfeld of St. Clement Danes, who has forborne
Church for one year (Cal. Add., 1634). This is clearly not the Cavalier,
who would have been styled " Sir," and I do not know of any other Catholic
Henry to whom it would apply. Our Henry was then twenty-one years of
age, and was probably (the universities being closed to him) studying law,
as other young Catholics of his day were wont to do.

During the war we find a very puzzling note to him. It was written
March 21, 1645, by some royalist, calling himself J. Barker (but this is
perhaps an alias), who had escaped to Dunkirk. The missive was to be
carried by a messenger directed, it seems, to William Cobbe at Oxford.
The letter is written in the dashing cavalier style, but contains little personal
news beyond the following : " We hear that we may soon see you in France.
We have divers of your friends in these parts, as your brother Jo: Cap"
Thos: Bed: his bro: Math: Hary: and cousen H: Bed: Sir Francis
Manock, Sir Edward Sulyard, & Rob: Rookwood, Jack Taborough and
others " — and finally the writer " desires to serve your honoured father, if
I can."

The names and relationships are indeed difficult to interpret.* Without
venturing on this, I only submit that the tendency of this evidence is to
prove that both the Cavalier and his son Henry were then with the garrison
of Oxford.

In the papers of the Committee for Compounding, we find that on
the 1 9th of December 1654, John Sandall and Henjamin Tanner, trustees
for Michael and Edward, infants, younger children of Henry Bedingfeld,
of Beck Hall, Norfolk, petitioned against the sequestration of Charlecombe,
while on the 27th of February 1655, Henry Bedingfeld and Margaret his wife,

sfc Father Goldie has furnished me with notes on some of the names, from which
notes (and other sources) we learn these particulars : —

"Your brother John." The same of whom the 2nd Baronet says (No. 16),

"Uncle John died 16 Febrary 1685" (i.e. 1686).
"Captain Thomas Bed[ingfeld]," i.e. the third son of John Bedingfeld of

Redlingfield (Foley, v. 568, Pedigree).
"His bro[ther] Mathfew]," of Amersden, Oxford, and afterwards of Brussels

(Foley, ibid.}, when he befriended Charles II.
" Hary: " Possibly an abbreviation of Harrington.
" Cousen H. Bed: " Perhaps Henry, fourth son of Anthony Bedingfeld of

Holme Hale.
" Sir Francis Mannock," i.e. the second Baronet of Gifford's Hall, Stoke by

Newland, Suff., died 1686.
" Sir Edward Sulyard." The son, Sir John Sulyard of Haughley, Suff., married

Margaret, daughter of Lord Stourton, and died without issue (Koley, iv.

606, Pedigree).
" Robert Rookwood." Perhaps Sir Robert of Stanningfield and Coldham, who

married Mary Townsend (of Ludlow) ; or their son Robert, if he was not

already dead, fighting for the king at Oxford (Foley's Pedigree, iii. 7^8).
Jack Ta[s]borough, of Flixton, Suff.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE FIRST BARONET 19

daughter and sole heiress of Edward Paston (who had died February 18,
1655), beg that his estate may come to her, whereas two-thirds of it had
been sequestrated. This claim was allowed (Calendar for Compounding,

P-3I57)-.

Mention has already been made of his imprisonment at Lynn, from June
or July to October 1655, on suspicion. In his extant petition for liberty
(Domestic Calendar, 1655, p. 366) he describes himself as "of Billingford"
(the township of Beck Hall), and says that he has "a wife and 9 small
children " dependent on him. The docket informs us that he was to be
set free.

Of his fortunes after the war we hear a good deal from a MS. which
was printed by Wotton in his Baronetage (iii. 215), and which was doubt
less supplied by the family, and embodies the family traditions of about
the year 1720.

"Henry Bedingfeld, Esq., happened to survive all his brothers and
sisters (Mrs. Cobbe excepted), and to enjoy a long tranquillity, after the
restoration of King Charles II., and when he had lain before that prince,
who had desired it, a calculation of the sufferings of the family in their
estate, which manifestly appeared to be above 45,000/5 his majesty replied
with concern, that it was too great for him to recompense ; to which Mr.
Bedingfeld answered, that all he begged of his majesty was, that he might
hope for the future, to enjoy in quiet that little which was left.

" His majesty did afterwards confer the dignity of a Baronet upon him, for
the great and eminent services done by him and his family ; but his son
being soon after knighted by his majesty, the father let lie dormant his
patent for many years after, which postponed him to many of the order in
point of seniority.* This gentleman was esteemed one of the most complete
and accomplished men of the age, the comeliness of his person, the clearness
of his parts, and that noble sweetness of his temper, gave him so great a
credit and authority in his country, as scarce any thing was thought well done,
without his approbation ; and many misunderstandings amongst the greatest
families, that friends had tried to compromise, and could not, were referred
to him, and happily determined. Yet the most fortunate part of his char
acter, was his felicity in a companion for a wife, in the person of the before-
mentioned Mrs. Margaret Paston, who, besides the great portion she
brought, equalled him in all his merits, aided him through all his afflictions,
and in his absence, when forced to fly beyond the seas, managed his whole
concerns, and a numerous family, all with the utmost art and prudence ; and
so careful in the whole conduct of her life, as Sir Henry, amongst his dying
words declared, That she Jiad been a wife, ivka had never once displeased
him ; and yet if he had lived six weeks longer, they had been married fifty
years. He died the sixth [st'c] of February 1684-5, an^ lies buried in his
chapel, within Oxburgh church, under a fair marble monument, erected for
him by his mournful widow, who lies buried by him."

Attention may next be directed to the remarkable picture in which he
and his family are represented as protected by the special intervention of
the Blessed Virgin. No very definite tradition has survived as to the signi
ficance of the minor details, but the general theme is evidently the providen
tial escape of the family during the civil wars. The picture will be of
the time, when the family began "to enjoy its own again" — that is, the
Restoration — and this we gather from the ages of the children, which will be
from about ten or twelve to twenty-five or so.f The Baronet wears armour,

* This does not seem accurate.

f If the reader thinks that the ages of the children cannot be so great as I have
assumed them to be, then he must also assume that the picture was painted abroad,
and was meant to be hung abroad. P'or before the Restoration there would have
been no house in England in which so pronouncedly Catholic a picture could have
been safely set up. This theory is, of course, not at all an impossible one.

20 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE FIRST BARONET

recalling his fighting days, and in the top left and right corners there is a
scene, showing one man on horseback and another on foot, making signals,
as it seems, to some ships. From what we know of this Henry's early life,
we may be pretty sure that this refers to some adventure during the
civil wars, perhaps to some escape abroad, for we do not hear of his having
been made prisoner, but we do hear, among the papers of the Committee
for Compounding, of an action taken by Thomas jermyn, trustee for his
children in March to September 1651, for safeguarding properties entailed
to them. This looks as though the father were already abroad at that date
(Calendar, p. 2624).

Of Dame Margaret Paston we know enough to recognise in her a
remarkably interesting character. If the description given in Wotton's
MS. stood alone, one might not be convinced of its being critical. In any
case, however, a woman who did so much for the family during such difficult
times, and who at the same time was so good a wife that her husband could
not recollect when he had felt her thwart his wishes, must on these titles
alone be considered a person of very remarkable gifts. Her son, who did
not hesitate to speak severely of his uncle, has only one defect to complain
of in her, that she was "a woman of great witte and quick partes, but very
partiall in her affections," and this when extreme age is wont to bring natural
failings into sharp relief.

The following letter illustrates the "mighty hospitality" which the
family traditionally kept up, and tells us something about her Ladyship's
character.

LADY MARGARET BEDINGFELD TO THE DOWAGER LADY YARMOUTH

Original autograph. British Museum. Additional 27,448, f. 212.
No date or address, but ascribed to 1683 in the Catalogue.

Lord Yarmouth was the head of the Paston family, and the title had
been only recently granted. Lady Margaret, herself by birth the heiress
of one branch of the Pastons, regards, we see, the head of her house with
enthusiastic loyalty. That was only natural in those days, and especially
in the conservative reaction which followed the Restoration. Moderns,
however, will hardly feel inclined to go all lengths with Dame Margaret,
for the earldom had only been won by a marriage with the bastard daughter
of King Charles II., and the estates of the historic family of Paston were
being heavily burdened in debt (see p. 38).

However, for the moment all is going well, and the conjectural date,
1683, the year in which William succeeded to the title, exactly agrees with
the rejoicings on that occasion, which so gratified the writer. His Lord
ship was not only Earl of Great Yarmouth, but was also (or would im
mediately be) its High Steward. Well then might its cannons bang "loud
enough to reach London," and the Dean [of Norwich] come forward with
a gift of oysters to " the favourite of Norfolk." Yet between the lines we
can read that there had been a little anxiety how the once Puritan East
Anglia would receive the new-made nobleman and his ambiguous wife.
She, poor woman, was to die soon, on the 2oth of July 1684; so this letter
must be before that date.

MADAM,

I am sory my letter, writt in haste, should be so slowe a

by the hand of the fauorite of Norfolk, who I must bragg was our

mine in beeing depriued of the felicity of hearing his stories, being
iust [as] deaf as I was, when you were in the country. Two or three
days after, I heard again, and haue not bin so deaf till now ; wch in one
more considerable might be imputed to witchcraft, but I submitt to
mortification.

Now in earnest, Madam, I think my Lord came downe in the
criticall time ; and I wish, from my harte, that you and the king's
grantchild, wth the Father and mother (who I begg my find my humble
seruis) had bin all here together,* that you might haue seen what a
gcnerall disposition of kindness there was in the people to my Lord.
I think you should do well to haue it told at courte as newse, what a
Loue-fitt the country is fallen into to my Lord of Yarmouth ; but this
not to come imediately from your self, but rather to seem coole in it.
What passed at Yarmouth, I shall not need to repeat; the Canons
were lowd enough to reach to London.

Many thanks for the concern you had of my sonne and husband.
In what place soeuer they are, all the seruis they are able of doeing, is
but to whisper to all persons, what worth, what witt my Lord of Yar
mouth is master of, what the sweetness and candide nature, truth and
constancie to his freinds, then perswade them to compare him to others,
where they find the contrary very transparant. My Lord hath not had
the fortune to be knowne enough, but those that hath his true Caracter,
lett them refuse to loue him that can.

On Fryday Sr Phillip Woodhouse and Sr Jacob Astley, wth other
gentlemen came on purpose to waite upon him. The Dean also, wth
much respect ; who brought a present of Oisters. I expected diuers of
a lower form, who was desirous to come, but were kept of by a false
Alarm, that we were full, by my Lord Townsend beeing here ; and it
seems he sayd some such thing to Mr Rawlins, that he would haue
mett here, had not the goute hindred him. And that goute was one
reason I took to perswade my Lord to send. For I must confess,
Madam, it was my fault (if any) my Lord's sending thether ; but I am
confident he will be no looser by it, but put the two Sr Johns to new
consults.! To goe himself had bin below him ; but this sending,
whilst he wore the lawrell on his browe, is but to triumph in a ciuill
way.

I could giue you more substantiall reasons, if fitt for paper ; but I
hope you will belieue none studys more my Lord's and yr Ladyshipp's
Reputation then

Madam
Your Ladyship's humble seruant and kinswoman

M. BEDINGFIELD.

My husband presents his humble seruis to yr Ladyship.

* The meaning seems to be — I wish you, Lady Yarmouth, with the grandchild,
who is also the King's grandchild, had been here with the infants' father and
mother, to see the great reception, &c.

t It would be necessary to have Lady Yarmouth's " letter of the 3<3th " to
understand all these allusions. Why, what, or whither Lord Yarmouth " sent " ;
and who were " the two Sir Johns " (i.e. clergymen) " put to new consults," does not
appear.

THE SYDENHAM PRAYER-BOOK

Another interesting relic of Margaret Bedingfeld — which indeed throws
a good deal of welcome light on the tastes of Catholic ladies of her genera
tion — is her family prayer-book, which belonged to her mother and grand
mother before her, and which is still at Oxburgh. It contains a good
deal of inedited Catholic verse of the Elizabethan period, and a hitherto
unknown prayer of Queen Mary Tudor.

The volume is in size a decimo sexto, and contains 166 pages. The water
mark in the paper is the crowned jar or pot, the most usual English mark.
The binding is original pigskin, the sides stamped round the edges with
gilt lines, and in the panels the letters E. G., with an ornament of cherubs'
heads between them. Two brass clasps, the upper one broken ; the back
also partly broken. The pages have margins ruled with red, and there are
about seven or eight different hands. E. G. will clearly be the initials of the
person for whom the book was originally bound, but I can obtain no clue as
to who this may have been. There is another small volume (OEO) in the
Oxburgh library with somewhat similar letters on its sides, but again no
clue to the original possessor.

First among the contents, we should notice the memoranda of births and
christenings, which occur at p. 67.

[i] M[emorandu]m that my sonne George Sidenham was borne at
brimpton the xxijth daie of October A° dm 1588, in the xxxth yere of
the raigne of or soueraigne ladye Queene Elizabethe &c. godfathers
Sir George Sidenham, Sir Jo Clifton [& M™ banfield, cancelled}.

[2] Also my sonne John was was [sic] borne there the xxvjth of
September A° dni 1589 in the xxxjth yere of the raigne of the queenes
maiesty aboue said, his godfathers were sir John Sidenham, Mr. Thomas
Stoughton and thold Mris banfeild.

[3] And also my sonne Raffe was borne there the xiijth daie of
ffebruary in the xxxiijth yere of her maiesties raigne A° dni 1590.
His godfathers were Sir Raphe Husey, Mr Edward St barbe and my
aunte ffitziames.

[4] My [daughter francis, obliterated'} was borne at Beer in dorset,
the xj of May in ye xxxiiij yere of her maiesties raigne a° dni 1592. &
her godmothers were M" ffraunces Turbervile & Mrs \blanti\ Ancketill
and Mr Alexander Bret of whytchurch.

[5] My daughter baningfeld was borne the nth of nouember,
being St Martines day pope and martyr, her daughter Elizabeth was
borne upon St Thomas day before Christmas &c. 1636.

My godaughter frauncis beningfeld was borne upon ploumonday
this present year 1638.*

The first two memoranda are in one hand ; the third, fourth, and fifth are
each in different hands. The first entries were evidently written simulta
neously, or almost simultaneously, with the rest of the book, which we may
therefore date as belonging to the year 1590 or thereabouts. The family is-
that of the Sydenhams of Brimpton in Somerset, now extinct, whose pedigree
may be followed in Burke's Extinct Baronetage (1844), p. 516. From this

* This entry has been entirely and carefully obliterated, but, owing to the different
tints of the ink used, it can still be read, though some letters are doubtful.

THE SYDENHAM PRAYER-BOOK 23

source we learn that George died without issue in 1615, while John, who
married Alice Hoby, became heir to his father. Ralph became Master of
the Charter House, was eventually knighted, entered Parliament in 1641,
and died in 1671. The pedigree of the Sydenhams, given in British Museum,
Harleian MSS. 1154, fol. 179 ( = 225), gives the names of those who inter
married with the Sydenhams of those times, and among them we notice at
once three of the families, from which we here see that the godparents of
these children were chosen, to wit, Bamfield, Clifton, and [St.] Barbe.

Frances, the daughter born on the nth of May 1592, eventually married
Mr. Edward Paston of Horton in Gloucester and Appleton in Norfolk, and
it is evidently she who has in 1638 written the memorandum that " My daugh
ter baninfeld — that is, Margaret Paston, in whom we are now interested —
" was born on the i ith of November." The year of her birth is not added, but
as she was eighty-four at the time of her death, January 14, 1702-3, we see
that she must have been born November n, 1618. The date of her marriage
is also unknown, but the inference from Wotton's MS. is that it took
place on the 27th of March (or rather the yth of April, sec p. 19) 1635.
Why the last memorandum has been obliterated does not appear, though we
may presume that it had something to do with the civil wars.

We may now proceed to give the contents of the prayer-book. It is
evidently meant to be subsidiary to some other prayer-book, presumably the
Hours of the Blessed Virgin, the most popular book of devotions of that
time. For we see by comparison with the tables of the prayers usually found
in printed Horce (E. Hoskins, Horte B. V. Af., 1901) that the present collec
tion varies from them in almost every respect. Some of the prayers may be
translations from new and popular prayer-books printed abroad, such as
Yerepe's Enchiridion Catholicum ; some of the verses are original transla
tions (p. 70), some are newly written (p. 77) ; but the probability is that the
majority are derived from more ancient sources.

That the selection of prayers was made to suit the taste of a Catholic
lady of about the year 1590 is seen both from the inclusion of " the Earl of
Arundel's verses" (p. 77), he being then still alive and under sentence of
death, and from the allusion to " Tyburne's force " (p. 74). That the collector
was a lady is clear from the inclusion of " good Queen Maryes prayer :
which she used everye mornynge, all her lyfe tyme," which is otherwise un
known ; as also from the prayers for a married wife, and for a woman with
child (pp. 94, 137), and from the ejaculation "Have pity on me thy hand
maiden," found in the litany of our Lady.

The prayers are not arranged on any well-defined plan, yet there are
certainly some traces of order. I have therefore inserted sectional headings
to facilitate the comprehension of the whole. Headings written in the
margin of the original are here printed in italics.

Furthermore I beseche thy goodnes to send me suche pacyence to

P. 71. — JESUS

With a reuerend* mynd this picture vewe j which by the doste passe,
and godly honour geve to him | for whome it pictured was.

Take noe ofifenc to looke upon | this Imag thus imprest ;

condeme not those which vse the same | but Judge of them the best.

It is no God, yt hathe no life | yet offereth to the eye,

the manner howe our Sauiour Christ | vouchsafed once to dye.

To reconcile mankinde to God, | from whome by sinn he fell,
into a state most damnable | amidst the dieueles of hell.

With pacience then behold the same | and" often haue in minde
the passion of our sauiour Christ | that thou his grace maist finde.

Here followeth the pittifull and lamentable speach of Christ Jesu
vnto synners.

" Behould O man what I sustayne for thee . . . that the ramping lyon
and raveninge woulfe might not devoure thee . . . thou art devided from
mee."

P. 74.— THE HARTY WYSHES OF A PENYTENT SYNNER

O that I could with streames of teares

my synfull lyfe Lament,
O that I coulde my dolefull harte

in sundry peaces rent.
With dolefull sighes and eke wth sobbes,

would God my dayes were spent,
That so I might with Angells bright

enjoy ceternall lighte.

O God how hard a harte have I,

that yealdes not droppes of bloode,
To satisfye, to pacyfye,

to doe my poore soule good,
yf that I could, full fayne I wold,

this cravant corps forgoe,
By rack, by rope, or Tyburn's force,

I would cut of my woe :

But God, who knowes my secreate thoughtes,

dispose me at his wyll
That flyenge yll contynuallye

his servant I be styll.
A harte [a harte], sweete Savyour,

a harte vouchsafe to sende,
A harte to bid me take goode harte

my heavie harte to mend.

* The scribe, in copying these verses, has written " d" with a stroke through the
top, " d." This is a more antique form than he otherwise uses, and suggests that his
exemplar itself was of a more ancient date.

THE SYDENHAM PRAYER-BOOK 29

Make that my harte, become thy harte,

that whatsoeuer fall,
My wyll, thy vvyll may ever be,

on the to crye and call,
That I, not I, may ever be,

but thou in me, and I in thee,
To serve thy heavenly maiestie.

P. 77. — EARLE OF ARUNDLE'S VERSES

O Christ my lord which for my sinnes

didest hange upon a tree ;
Graunt that thy grace in me, poore wretch,

may still ingraffed bee.

Graunt that thy naked hanging then

may kill in me all pride
And care of wealth, sith thou didst there

in such poor state abide.

Graunt yl thy crown of prickinge thornes,

wcb thou for me didst were,
May make me willinge for thy sake

all shame and payne to bare.

Graunte yfc the skornes and tauntes, wch thou

didst on the cross endure,
May humble me, and in my hart

all pacience still procure.

* MS., shutt.

f In MS., J. C. is inserted here, not at the end of the line. M. in the headline
probably stands for " Master."

J At this point there occurs a curious copyist's freak. He (or she) has copied
out, and then cancelled, the following doggerel rhyme : —

" When myne eyes beheld of yore

the seemly sainte yl I adore,
I was glad : She was coye :

Greefe I founde in steede of joye."

The simplest explanation would be that the copyist inadvertently passed from one
set of verses to another. But if any are resolved to see here a romance in real
life, no one will be able positively to disprove that theory.

30 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE FIRST BARONET

Graunt that thy prainge for thy foes

may plaint within my breaste
Such charitie as, from my hart,

I malis maye deteste.

Graunt y* thy pearced handes, which did

of nothinge al thinges frame,
May move me to lift up my handes,

and ever prayse thy name.

Graunt that thy wounded feete, whose stepes

were perfect evermore,
May learne my feete to tredd those pathes,

which thou hast gone before.

Graunte y* the bitter gall, which did

thy emptye bodye fill,
Maye teache me to subdue my fleshe,

and to performe thy will.

Graunt y* thy woundes may cure the sores,

wch sinn in me hath wrought,
Graunt y* thy deathe may save the soule,

wch with thy blood was bought.

Graunt yi those dropes of bloode, wch ranne

out from thy hart amayne,
May melt my hart into salt teares,

to see thy greeuous payn.

Graunt that thy blessed graue, whereas

thy bodye laye a while,
May burye all such vayne delightes,

as may my minde defile.

Graunt yk thy goinge doune to them,

which did thy sight desiere,
Maye kepe my soule, when I am deade,

cleare from the purginge fyre.

Graunt yfc thie rising up from death

may rayse my thoughts from sinne :
Graunt yt thy parting from this earth

from earthe my hart may winne.

Graunt lorde y* thy assendinge then

may lift my mynd to thee.
That there my hart and joye may rest,

though heare in fleshe I be.

Amen.

century.

Second Baronet, 1636-1704.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET 35

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET
Born in 1636; succeeded, February 24, 1685; died, September 14, 1704

Wotton's MS., which doubtless gives us the family traditions of the early
eighteenth century, has the following account of him : —

" Henry Bedingfeld came over with the duke of Gloucester,* upon the
restoration of King Charles II., being that duke's chief favourite, and was
soon after knighted. The court breeding meeting with so generous and
affable a temper, made him so fine a gentleman, as few were in a higher
character ; and after that, when he became settled in a country life, so great
was his hospitality and splendid house-keeping, as no gentleman of his
rank and fortune did any where exceed him ; and had not the religion of
his ancestors, in which he was born and bred, obstructed his coming into
the public stations of his country, no man whatever would have been more
popular.

" He was twice married, first to Anne, only daughter and heir to Charles
[Howard] viscount Andover, afterwards earl of Berkshire, by whom he
had no issue. His second wife was Elizabeth, youngest daughter of Sir
John Arundell, of Lanhern, in the county of Cornwall, Bart., by whom he
had three daughters, Elizabeth, who died young at Brussels ; Margaret,
who married Sir John Jernegan, Bart., eldest son and heir of Sir Francis
Jernegan, of Cossey, in the county of Norfolk, Bart., and Frances, who was
married to Sir Francis Anderton of Lostock, in the county of Lancashire,
Bart, (who died without issue) ; and one only son. Sir Henry Arundell, his
successor.

"Sir Henry died 14 Sept. 1704, and lies interred in the said chapel
of Oxburgh, between his two wives, at the foot of a noble monument,
erected for them by the said Sir Henry, in his life-time." f

MEMORANDUM BOOK OF SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, KNIGHT AND
BARONET, who died in 1704

The Second Baronet has left a Memorandum Book, written, as appears
from Memorandum No. 21, about the year 1698, when his mother reached
the age of eighty. It contains a sort of survey of the family, and of the
family fortunes at that time. There are three chief topics. The first gives
an account of his stewardship in regard to the will of the Countess of Berk
shire, his mother-in-law, of which he and his brother had been appointed
executors. This portion is here omitted, as telling us nothing about the
Bedingfeld family. The second topic or section consists of memoranda on
living and dead members of the family. For convenience of reference I
have numbered these notes consecutively. The third topic or section gives
a rough survey of the additions and improvements to the family estate,
which had been made in his time. From the slightly apologetic tone of

* Henry Stuart, third son of Charles L, was born 1640, and died September 13,
1660. According to this account, Henry Bedingfeld entered his service while upon
the Continent, and returned at the Restoration, 1660.

f 77ie English Baronetage, printed for Thomas Wotton, iii. 216-217. He calls
the paper " MS. penes T.YV."

36 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

this section, we are tempted (though perhaps unreasonably) to suspect that
some one * had accused him of extravagance, and so he sets down this
survey of his position, for the quieting of his own conscience, and perhaps
for the future satisfaction of his heirs.

\The Oxburgh Property ; Debts £° Purchases]

When I first came with my wife, ye Lady Anne, to live here,* I \vas
m debt, & I was forced to repair this house, and all my tenants
houses, wch putt me into debt before I could well Imagen itt att least
35°°x*o- Wch I paid most of itt by som bargains I made, what my
Uncle Paston left, and by 1500 I had of my brother Johns portion.
But for that 1500 I am like to be a great sufferer, by reason I agreed
with my Feather, in consideration of yfc 1500, to lett my Brother John
enioye Ashill Holt in or during my Mothers Life, from ye death of my
father, soe that I have alreadye paid since my father's death 2700 in
consideration of 1500 & in all likelyhood I may pay it many years,
wch as times are has halfe ruined me. When I consider well my
expenses I find I have spent a great deal of money since 1666, And I
have for my justification the obligation of maintaining my first wife
according to her quality wcl> I did to gain my Lady Barkshire's favour,
And then it is to bee considered I had not till my fathers death six
hundred pounds to live on, soe considering] how I lived & what vast
expense I was at in repairing houses that I wonder I did not run
further into debt.

And since my father's death I have all ye charge of the familie
upon me, And I dare say I never received ^1000 a yeare, Ashill being
deducted, Shingham to my Brother Edward, and a rent charge of 120
per annum to my Mother out of Cavenham, and Considerable matters
out of ye estate. I must also say something for my selfe for spending
my last wifes portion, being 4000^". I lived in London in hopes of
getting great matters at Court, as I was promessed, And also my house
being burnt gave my wife small encouragement to live here ; so that, in
supplyng ye house with furniture that was burnt & making the house
habitable, it cost me 1000^, and 4000^ I laid out in purchases soe I
conclude I spent 2000 in expectation of great matters, wch proved
nothing but Court Holy Water. And since the Revolution I find I

* It will be remembered that Oxburgh had been partly ruined during the
Commonwealth, and that the first Baronet had lived at Beck Mall. Sec above,

THOMAS MARWOOD'S MEMORANDA

Of Thomas Mar wood we learn enough from his diaries, and other extant
papers and notes, to make us keenly regret that we do not know more.
There is a picture at Oxburgh of a middle-aged man with a boy, which
has been too hastily labelled with Marwood's name. But in a dark corner
the date "1640. Aetatis sua? 64" can, on closer inspection, be distinctly
read, and this conclusively proves that the picture represents some one else.
We must therefore leave out this picture from our consideration, and con
sidering the unprepossessing cast of the features, this need not afflict us.

Marwood occurs twice in England as a place-name, in Devonshire and
in Durham, and this may account for the two large Marwood families, the
one chiefly in Devonshire, the other chiefly in Yorkshire, and a good deal
of information is extant about each of them. I have not been successful
in finding our Thomas's place in either family, but it seems likely that the
quest, though it might be a long one, would very probably be brought to
a successful termination.

The year of his birth is nowhere mentioned. Half-way through the
seventeenth century — that is, 1650 — would suit the other dates well enough.
The day of his birth is alluded to below, in the year 1700, on the 28th of
November. His death, as appears from his tombstone, took place on the
26th of October 1718. Some important dates for his life have been recorded
by him on the fly-leaves of a meditation book still in the Oxburgh library.
The memoranda are in effect resolutions, or are connected with resolutions
set down during annual retreats, or days of special recollection, from the
year 1689 to 1698, and generally on New Year's Day. The book is
Meditations pour rAvent, iS~T., compos fas en Latin par Ic R. P. Busce :
Nouvelle Traduction, Paris, 1684, and inscribed "e libris Tho. Marwood."
The first line has been cancelled, but a good many of the words can be
deciphered.

[On the fly-leaf at the end] Cap11 Guliehnus Bedingfeld mortuus est
Jan. 29. Anno i68£.

There are also in Oxburgh Hall Library a considerable number of
books with the inscription "e libris Tho. Marwood," all (esp. a Bible)
annotated or underlined by him. It is very likely that some of these
may contain other biographical notes. There is a Memorandum Book
of farm receipts, &c., with date 1681 on ist page, and on page i of
the Rentall Book of 1688-1696, in Marwood's hand, there occur the
words, "In the year 1679, that I came to Oxburgh."

It has sometimes been suggested that Marwood must once have been
an ecclesiastical student at a seminary ; and without a doubt the acumen,
which he shows in some of his theological notes, is considerable. But with
these memoranda before us, we see that this theory cannot be upheld, for
it is now evident that he was born and educated a Protestant. That his
education was good (though his Latin style was not Ciceronian) is evident
from all that he has left us in writing. His first serious introduction to the
world was " In the house of Doctor Lett1, from the first of January 1669-70
to October 1671." If only we could read that name "Lett1" perfectly, we
might make out much about his early years.

For the present we can only conjecture, from the tastes displayed by
Marwood in the Diary and other notes, that " Dr. Lett1" will have had his
degree either in medicine or in divinity, as his pupil shows decided tastes
for both sciences.

The next date is that of his conversion, January u, 1672. This, it will
be noted, was just three months after leaving " Dr. Lett1." We may there
fore plausibly conclude that there was some connection between these two
events, but all else remains obscure. Then come the dates of the deaths
of his father and mother. There is no R.I. P. added, though it is inserted
after his brother John's obit. The omission is presumably of no meaning,
but if it has any, it would signify, not that he did not wish them peace,
but that they were Protestants, for whom the prayer was not then usually
added.

In the year 1679 he was confirmed at Montaigu * in Belgium, a cele
brated shrine of the Madonna. The inference, from the long wait between
conversion and confirmation, is that he had been in England during all
that time. In the same year, but whether before or after is not known,
he came to Oxburgh, officially as steward or agent to the estate, but
in truth he seems to have been everything to the family — nurse, tutor,
doctor, and friend. " Amicus Verus, et Benefactor insignis Domus Bedin-
feldianae," are the words which the third baronet inscribed on his tomb. On
the nth of December 1684 he was hit in the left foot while shooting at

* Montaigu, near Sichem (N.E. of Louvain), a celebrated shrine where a
miraculous statue of the Madonna has been venerated ever since the beginning of
the sixteenth century. Owing to its proximity to England, and to the English
settlements in Belgium, " Our Lady of Sichem " was a favourite place of pilgrimage
for English and Irish Catholics, and was much frequented by them. Cf. Foley,
Records , . , vol. i. pp. in, 113; iv. 547 (with a note on the history of Sichem),
548; v. 304, 602. Collectanea, vol. ii. pp. 760, 867, 1200 — J. Morris, Troubles of
our Cath. Forefathers, vol. i. pp. 308, 310. On the history of Montaigu, see

the chief authorities will be found. — [W.]

44 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

Necton (some four or five miles north of Oxburgh), and the wound was
not fully healed for nearly two months.

The next series of memoranda are of a private, indeed of a sacred char
acter. They show us the man in his relation to his Maker. It would serve
no purpose to prolong our analysis of them, or to endeavour to formulate
the edification which they will cause to appreciative minds. The facts are
as follows. On the 5th of June 1686 he made a general confession of his
whole life to " D11S Syll'1," which I suppose means Mr. Sulliard. "Uns" or
" Mr." would be the ordinary title for a secular priest, but who he was, I
cannot accurately determine. Foley (Records, iv. 606) gives accounts of
two John Suliiards, who studied for the priesthood at the English College
some thirty years before. Neither of them were ordained there, but they
may very well have been ordained elsewhere.

Three and a half years after this commence a series of resolutions,
renewed and amplified on nine successive New Year's Days from 1689 to
1698. From these we see that this strong, acute, and kindly layman, who,
in the face of his Maker, speaks of himself simply as " Peccator," has set
his mind in the first place on acquiring that virtue of virtues, humility, and
his method was thorough.

He will fast every day up to dinner-time, and will be content with bread
and water at supper, while thrice in the week — that is, on Monday, Wednes
day, and Saturday — he will eat nothing after dinner, and abstain entirely
from wine. Every Saturday he will recite the entire rosary, and the Office
of the Blessed Virgin daily, except on Sundays and great feasts, when he
will say the Office of the Church. As penance for his sins, he will say daily
one of the seven penitential psalms, with the five accustomed prayers, and
thrice strike his breast and say, Jesu Christe, miscre mei, maxiini peccatoris !
In 1693 these resolutions are explicitly renewed (except that nothing is said
of his fare at supper), with the condition ''as far as health permits." He
generally undertakes each year to work for a new virtue, or a new aspect
of a virtue, such as chastity, charity, expectation of the Lord's coming,
patience, peace of mind, &c.

In the diary which follows there is no allusion whatever to his own
interior life, but, from what we have now heard about that subject, we can
understand that the casual references to prayers, good sermons, and solemn
ceremonies, and that significant ">£<" (or "at my duty," or "devotions,"
for confession and communion*), were to him of the deepest significance,
and recorded moments of the most reverential intercourse between the man
and his Maker.

THOMAS MARWOOD'S DIARY

A quarto volume, bound in white vellum, leaves in six gatherings, each of twelve
half folio pages, pot paper. The last gathering and a half sheet or two of the pen
ultimate gathering, on which accounts had been kept, have been torn out. Entirely
written in Marwood's hand, who has added on the inside, " Retraite a Momorancie
& a Notre Dame aulx St. Denis & Panior." This retraite is not alluded to else
where. On the modern label outside, Mr. Marwood's Diary, 1699-1703.

The diary seems to have been kept not for its own sake, but as memo
randa for letter writing, and a record of business transacted. It begins
abruptly, with the departure from Oxburgh of Marwood and his pupil,
Henry Arundel Bedingfeld, without a word as to the object of their journey.
This, however, soon becomes apparent. The three daughters of the Second
Baronet, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Frances, have already gone abroad, and

* In later years the little cross is also used for " Thank God."

1699] MARWOOD'S DIARY 45

are staying" with their aunts, Margaret and Anne Bedingfelcl, nuns at the
English Carmelite convent of Lierre, which their grand-uncle Edmund,
afterwards Canon of Lierre, had helped to establish, and had watched over
all his life. Pictures of all three hung, and still hang, on the walls of their
Norfork home, an indication of the strong bond of affection which existed
between the various members of the family. The separation of the cloister
brought no division or oblivion to the children of Dame Margaret, and her
grandchildren would have known their aunts' faces before they actually met
them.

There had been, moreover, at Lierre two cousins of Sir Henry's — Sister
Mary of the Incarnation, professed in 1671, who died between 1709 and
1714; while her sister, Anne of the Ascension, professed with her, had
died in 1692. These were daughters of Sir Henry's aunt Elizabeth. There
were also two Eyres — Sisters Mary Martha of Jesus and Mary Catherine,
who were respectively professed in 1689 and 1691, and who died in 1706
and 1729. They were daughters of the Baronet's sister Mary.

The occasion for the family reunion seems to have been the jubilee
of the convent at Lierre, which had been formally opened on St. Francis's
day, October 4, 1648 (Life of Mother Margaret Mostyn (Margaret of
Jesus), by the V. Rev. Edmund Bedingfield, Canon of S. Gomarre's, ed.
H. J. Coleridge, 1878, pp. 56-64).

This was the immediate object. Eventually a still more important sub
ject, the children's education, was to be considered. This, as we shall see,
needed much deliberation, and led to many changes of plan.

In the introductions to the different sections (I need hardly add that
these divisions are made by the editor) an endeavour has been made to
set before the reader a connected view of what the Bedingfeld family
was doing, why it chose this or that line of action, and who the English
persons and communities were with whom it dealt. On these points Mar-
wood is studiously silent — indeed he purposely disguises what he has to say,
as English Catholics of that day were forced to do. More detailed accounts
of individuals will be found in footnotes, while at the end of the year 1700
an interesting Appendix will be found on the places visited by Marwoocl.
This has been drawn up for me by the Rev. L. Willaert, S.J., whose un
equalled knowledge of the intercourse between the English Catholics and
the Low Countries is attested by his papers on the Negotiations Politico-
Religicuscs cntre UAnglcterrc et les Pays-Bus Catholiques (1598-1625),
which have been appearing since 1907 in the Revue ifHistoire Eccltsias-
tiquc of Louvain.

§ i. THE JUBILEE AT LIERRE

22 August to 1 8 October 1699

The journey to Antwerp was not marked by anything unusual. At
Antwerp " the Style altered." They now followed the New Style, which was
eleven days ahead of the Old Style, then observed in England. As usual
with our travellers, they spent the day seeing the great churches and the
ramparts. It is well to take note of the English persons whom they met ;
they are Mr. (probably the same as Captain Edward) Blackburne, Mr.
Exton (? Euxton), Mr. Tobin, and Mr. Hunter. The latter was presumably
Father Thomas Hunter, a Dominican, who will be frequently mentioned
afterwards.

On the 8th of September they continue their journey to Lierre, where
they lodged at Mr. Drury's boarding-house. Several canons and other
churchmen lived here, as also several English. Mr. Southcote, Mr. Doughty,
Mr. Bowles, Mrs. Hatcher, and "Mr. Jo. Martin of Burham" (Bornhem),
dined there on the I7th. He was a young Dominican Father, a cousin

46 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

of the Beclingfelds, and afterwards became, as we shall see, a man of some
note.

Father Pordage returned to his post at Oxburgh on the I2th, and his first
letter, received ten days later, brought the good news that Sir Henry was
coming. He doubtless found it quiet at home, now that all the children
were gone. So he must have applied for a licence to travel, in form such as
the licences printed in previous volumes (C.A'.S., ii. 305 ; iii. i), and leaving
old Dame Margaret to herself, he set out to join the family party at Lierre.
He was no longer young or strong — in fact, he had only five years of life left
before him — and we see in the diary that he was easily upset (Sept. 27, 28,
Oct. 3, &c.). He came by Calais and Dunkirk instead of by Antwerp.
He had perhaps to come up to town for his permit to travel, and so the Calais
route was not much longer.

Upon his arrival the visits to Count Winterfeld, the governor of the
town, were renewed, and the reception was doubtless not less hearty than
that given on the nth of September to Sir Henry's children.

The celebration at the convent was now about to commence. The occa
sion of these festivities is not stated, but we cannot be far wrong in consider
ing them as the jubilee of the foundation. It is true that the date of their
first foundation was St. Francis's day, October 4, 1648, and that the fiftieth
year of the foundation would'therefore have been 1697-1698. But there were
reasons for postponing the celebrations a little, especially as the house they
actually occupied had not been theirs from the very first. Anyway t\\&fesia was
kept "with great splendour" on St. Theresa's day, "with good MUSICK."
The governor of the town with his family were afterwards treated to dinner
at the convent, and, with the Archbishop's permission, the same honour was
done to the Bedingfelds on the next Saturday, and their guests were, with the
same favour, shown all over the house, and then there came the farewells.
Sir Henry returned on Sunday to sup with his sisters. It was almost their
last reunion here below. Next day the family took wagon and went on to
Brussels.

Foley believes him to have been the son of Thomas Pordage of Kodmersham, Kent,
and that his mother was heiress of John, heir to Mark Ive of Ive. He was the
chaplain at Oxburgh, to which, as we shall see, he soon returned, and where he
remained till his death at the age of eighty-five in 1736. He is buried in the Beding-
feld chapel. There were two Miss Pordagcs, nuns at Dunkirk, probably his sisters,
whom we shall meet again.

1699] MARWOOD'S DIARY 49

§ 2. — BRUSSELS
19 October 1699 to 24 January 1700

The Bedingfeld family came to Brussels full of joy and hope. They
could not but have been satisfied with the happy gathering at Lierre. They
now found themselves yet once more among friends and relatives, and were
about to commence under very favourable circumstances the educational
courses which they had come so far to seek. But a sad calamity befel
them after two months, and they left Brussels again amid grief and fear.

They arrived there in a large travelling wagon after a day's drive, and
the three young ladies were set down in Place du Grand Sablon, at the
convent of the Augustinian Nuns, called " the Lorrainesses," of whom more
immediately. It may be that they were to live there as pensionaires ; but
from the way Marwood speaks, it seems not impossible that they were day
scholars, and lived with their brother, under Marwood and Mrs. Masterson,
at Captain de Bodes, "derriere 1'Eglise de la Chapelle, a la Haute Rue,
beyond the Steen Porte." All these names still figure on the map of
Brussels, and fix the locality with great exactness. This seems to be the
house which Marwood means by "home."

On the i6th of November the little Esquire began to go to school at the
Jesuit College, and to take his share in their feasts, ecclesiastical and
collegiate (November 19 and 26). The quarter's pension (200 florins) had
been paid at once, and there were extra tutors engaged for their music,
singing, and dancing. These accomplishments were probably acquired
"at home" during the afternoon or evening. While the children were at
their schools during the day, Marwood would have had plenty of time for
his rounds among churches, convents, ramparts, and gardens, in all which
he so much delighted (October 25, November 2 (All Souls), Christmas at
St. Gudule, &c.). On the walls of these churches were many monuments
of English Catholics, not a few of which have since perished, though the
inscriptions may often be read in Sanderus, Flandria lllustrata.

Of the English convents the most frequented was "The Spellicans."
They were English Dominican nuns, founded by Father (afterwards
Cardinal) Howard, at Vilvorde, about the year 1661, and removed to
Brussels some ten years later. Het Spellikins-huys, "the pin-house," had
been a pin-factory, and stood in the road afterwards called Rue des Epingles,
not far from the Porte de Louvain. The whole quarter has since been
revolutionised and rebuilt. The Oratorians had turned it into a religious
house, but were now anxious to leave, as they had built again in a less retired
situation. So Father Howard succeeded, not without some difficulties
however, in completing the transfer, and brought Mother Barbara Boyle
(Prioress), Sisters Magdalen Sheldon, whose death is mentioned below
(December 13), Catherine Mildmay, Frances Peck (died 1680), Ann Busby,
and Catherine Howard, with two lay sisters, Jana Bergmans and Columba
Pound. Three other ladies of the Howard family afterwards joined, in
religion Mary Delphina, Dominica Rose, and Catherine. It will be re
membered that the Baronet's first wife was also a Howard, and there were
probably other kinships to unite the visitors to the convent. The com
munity has wandered many times in the course of the last century, and now
flourishes at Carisbrooke.

The following description of the convent from a Description de la Villc
de Bruxelles, written about the year 1742, will give us the points which
a spectator of that age thought most worthy of notice : —

" Les Religieuses Angloises de 1'Ordre de Sfc Dominique sont e"tablies tin
peu au-dessus depuis quatre-vingt ans ou environ. Le terrain oii leur
Monastere est bati, etant clove* de la Ville, leur a procure des moyens faciles
d'y faire de magnifiques jardins.

VII. L»

50 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

" II y en a trois en terrasse, qui se communiquent par des escaliers a
trente degrcs chacun, ce qui forme un bel amphitheatre, d'ou elles ont la vue
de la Ville & de la Campagne a plus de trois milles de distance. Leur
maison est grande & commode pour loger environ trente Religieuses qui
composent cette illustre Communaute, qui fut transportee de Vilvorde dans
cette Ville. Elles ont une petite Eglise tres propre et batie & la moderne,
ou elles font le service divin avec beaucoup d'edification. Elles sont
exemptes de la juridiction Episcopale & dirigees par des Religieux du
meme Ordre." (British Museum, 156, a. 7, p. 171.)

For more about these sisters, see Husenbeth, Notices of English Colleges,
&c., pp. 94-97; F. M. Steele, Convents of Great Britain, pp. 41-44 ; C. F.
Raymond Palmer, Life of Philip Thomas Howard, U.P., Cardinal of
Norfolk, with Sketch of the Dominican Order in England, 1867, pp. 119-122,
139, i45> 179,232.

On the I7th of January 1700 Marwood "was at the Benedictines, with
Mrs. \Valdegrave, Mrs. Chilton, Mrs. Bowles." This convent was founded
in 1599, and was, I presume, the first separate community of English
religious founded since the Reformation. I may again quote the Description
de Bruxelles, for the chief points of interest in the monastery (p. 178) : —

"Le Monasteredes Religieuses del'Ordre de S'Benoit fut fonde dans cette
Ville en 1599 par Mademoiselle Percy fille du Due de Northumberland, qui
touchee des calamites que les revolutions d'Angleterre causoient en ce
tems-la a la Religion, prit le parti de s'eloigner de ce tumulte, & ayant
quitte son Pays, accompagne'e de plusieurs Demoiselles de qualite, elle se
refugia a Bruxelles, ou elle forma le dessein de se consacrer a Dieu dans
la retraite avec ses fideles Compagnes : Et pour 1'executer avec ordre
elle appella Madame Berckley Religieuse dans 1'Abbaye de Sfc Pierre
a Rheims, qui en apportat 1'institut de Sl Benoit, que ces heroiques
Dames Angloises embrasserent sous sa conduite. La Superieure
ayant le litre d'Abbesse est elue par la Communaute pour toute sa vie.
L'Archiduc Albert & 1' Infante Isabelle leur ayant offert des revenus con
siderables, si elles vouloient leur deferer le droit de nommer 1'Abbesse, elles
remercierent tres-humblement leurs Altesses Sdrenissimes, preTerant la
liberte raisonnable, dont elles jouissent a 1'avantage des richesses. Elles
sont neanmoins sous la juridiction Episcopale. Leur Eglise est tres-propre.
On y voit a cote du principal Autel le mausolee de marbre du Baron de
Theinham & de son Illustre Famille,* que les troubles avoient eloigne de
1'Angleterre pour vaquer tranquilement a leur salut dans cette Ville, ou la
mort a couronne leur exil & leurs vertus."

For further information about the English Benedictines founded at
Brussels, but now settled at East Bergholt, see Dom Bennet Weldon,
Chronological Notes, Appendix, pp. 30-35 ; Francesa Steele, Convents of Great
Britain, 24-27 ; Husenbeth, pp. 60-62.

No part of Brussels presumably was more frequented by the Bedingfelds
than the Grand Sablon, at the east end of which stood the convent of " The
Lorrainesses," which the three girls attended ; while on the west stood the
Hdtel Elsbury, to which the Baronet paid many visits, the home of the
wealthy Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin and Ailesbury, who frequently appears
in our narrative. He had endeavoured to steer a middle course during the
Revolution ; had accepted William as a reformer, but refused to sanction
his advancement to the throne. Gradually, therefore, the suspicions of the
Orangemen against him became more and more acute, and at last he was
thrown into the Tower on a charge of treason. His wife, who was with
child, died of anxiety at the shock, and after he had been set free on bail
he obtained King William's leave to live abroad. He then settled at
Brussels, built himself a fine hotel, and eventually married again. We shall

1699] MARWOOD'S DIARY 51

meet this second family later on (nth August 1700). His stay at Brussels
was afterwards commemorated by the Ailesbury monument in the centre of
the Sablon.

I may again quote the Description de la Ville de Bruxelles, p. 100 : —

" La place du Sablon, nommee le Marche au foin . . . ou les Troupes de
la garnison s'assemblent tous les jours pour la Parade en relevant la garde.
C'est un grand carre long, dont 1'Hotel d'Elsbury occupe par le Mylord
Anglois de ce nom remplit une des petites faces. Le Monastere des
Religieuses nominees Lorraines est situe dans 1'autre. Elles vivent selon
la Regie de Sfc Augustin ; les ravages de la Guerre, leur ayant fait deserter
de Lorraine, elles se retirerent a Bruxelles, ou on leur a donne le nom du
Pays, d'ou elles sont sorties. Les deux autres faces ornees de belles Maisons
la plupart modernes & couvertes d'ardoise en mansarde et en pavilion,
fonnent un beau coup d'ceil. Ou y voit vers le milieu une Fontaine qui
fournit la meilleure eau de la Ville. C'est un des plus agreables endroits,
ou on respire un bon air a cause de la hauteur du terrain, ou il est situe.
Ses maisons sont habitees par plusieurs personnes de condition."

This description, written about 1742, does not contain any allusion to
the Ailesbury monument which was erected soon after and is still standing.
I may quote an account of this from the " Description" of 1782 : —

" La place du Grand Sablon est la place d'armes de Bruxelles ; au milieu
se trouve une belle fontaine que le Lord Bruce, Comte d'Ailsbury, qui avoit
habile quarante ans Bruxelles, avoit par son testament charge son heritier
de faire construire. Cette fontaine est ornee d'un groupe de marbre blanc
de Gene qui represente Minerve assise tenant les portraits en medaillon de
leurs Majestes Imperiales & Royales ; a sa droite est la Renommee, & a sa
gauche 1'Escaut ; un genie tient 1'egide & la lance de la deesse, ce groupe
est pose sur un pied-d'estal eleve de 13 pieds, sur les deux faces de ce pied-
d'estal sont sculptees les armoiries du Lord d'Ailsbury, avec cette inscription
au-dessous, Fuiinus: ces armoiries sont appuyees par deux tetes de Mascaron,
qui vomissent de 1'eau : aux deux cotes du pied-d'estal on lit les deux in
scriptions suivantes, composees par M. Roderique de Cologne, Conseiller
intime du Prince Charles de Lorraine.

Foreign politics do not seem to have excited much enthusiasm in Mar-
wood ; they do not often do so in Englishmen. But Europe was, in fact,
rapidly nearing a situation which would inevitably result in war, and war
in which England would have to take part. Charles II., King of Spain,

52 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

was sinking to his grave, and when he was gone what would come of the
motley group of states which Charles V. had attached to that throne ?
Flanders and the Milanese, the two Sicilies, and the Indies were involved,
and there were various claimants, whose rights could only be balanced with
difficulty. But amongst these candidates loomed large and ominous the
descendants of the King of France. The balance of power in Europe would
be utterly upset if France received so enormous an accession of power as
this heritage must necessarily bring with it. So there were various " Parti
tion Treaties" arranged upon beforehand, in order to maintain that balance.
The first of these would have placed on the throne of Spain the son of that
Maximilian Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, who was then Governor of the Low
Countries (November 6, £c.). But the poor boy had died of small-pox in
the preceding February. A second child was born at this time (November
17 and 30), but by another wife, so now all was in uncertainty, though the
chances of Maximilian's accession to power had suffered exceedingly.

New efforts to make some arrangement were made, and on the 3ist of
October we hear that "the Repartition" (or second Partition Treaty of this
very year) was " burnt by the hangman," doubtless because it did not suit
the aspirations of the Elector, who was French in sympathies, and was
eventually driven for the time out of the country by Marlborough, after the
battles of Hochstecht, Blenheim, Ramillies, &c.

Bearing these above circumstances in mind, we see what good reason
there was for keeping the birthday of King Charles (6th November) with
rejoicings. The " Mass at ye Jesuites for ye Soules of ye Soldiers" (October
31) was, I presume, a requiem for the many gallant fellows who had
fallen in the great wars, which had been so lately ended by the Peace of
Ryswick, loth September 1697. This peace had restored Mons to the Low
Countries, and the reference to its garrison on December 16 will be some
how connected with this.

For the last few years, the popular party of the " nations " (guilds) had
been agitating for new privileges ; in September 1699, riots broke out in
several parts of the town ; the government first tried to calm the people by
granting new liberties ; but the leaders persisted in their attitude of dis
order. At last, on December i6th, Maximilian introduced in the town several
regiments of paid soldiers, and the chief agitators were thrown into prison.
Cf. Henne and Wauters, Hist, de Bruxelles, vol. ii. p. 160. The Pasquil,
mentioned ist November, would have turned on the strained situation, and
it must, of course, have been against the Government. On the soldiers, see
2 ist December.

The domestic life of the family at Brussels was at first only troubled by
the indispositions of Sir Henry (October 23, 24, 28, and December 10), and
these were not very serious. He had moved to new, perhaps to more com
fortable, quarters — Aux trois Fontaines, Mons. Jacques. He often dined
with Lord Ailesbury (sometimes taking his children with him), also with
Mr. Fonseca and Mr. Thomond, or Thaumond, and went "to the play"
(loth December) or "to the Assemblie" (2oth December).

The happy life was now interrupted by a sad bereavement. In these
days, before vaccination was discovered, the ravages of small-pox among
children were very terrible. We have already seen that it had not spared,
in that very year, the young prince, on whose life the peace of Europe
depended ; and shall hear later on of other calamities of the same kind
(see I gth August 1700). The Bedingfelds were now saddened by the loss
of their eldest girl, who still wanted two months for the completion of
her fifteenth year. Deeply pathetic is the account told day by day in
Marwood's diary, from the I2th of December, when she fell ill, to Christmas
Eve, when "she died like an Angel, R.I. P., about \ past 8 in the morning,"
and this though two days before they had thought her on the fair road to
recoverv.

1699] MARWOOD'S DIARY 53

She was "decently enterred in yc Chappell Vault, belonging to ye
Religieuses ; but privately, because her decease was not to be knowne."
Were it not for a few clauses like this in various places of the diary, we
should hardly have perceived how heavily the penal laws pressed upon the
Catholics. Marwood seems to have stood by the sick child like a parent.
It was to him that the doctor gave the sad warning that the end was at
hand. He sends for the priest, and sees her buried. Doubtless Sir Henry
was there too, but Marwood, we feel, is the directing spirit.

As soon as Elizabeth's sickness declared itself, Margaret and Frances
were taken off to Lierre under the charge of Mr. Drury, with whom they had
lodged previously. But the Esquire, 'it seems, remained on in the sick
house. Two days after Elizabeth's death Nurse Masterson was taken ill,
but was soon better again. Next day the boy was " ill after dinner," and it
gradually became evident that he, too, was going through a somewhat
severe bout of fever. However, the dread pox-marks did not declare them
selves, and owing to the careful nursing of Marwood and Mrs. Masterson,
he was well enough to be moved to Lierre in a coach on January the 23rd.

§ 3.— LIERRE.
24 January to 25 May, 1700.

Marwood's object being mainly to chronicle daily events, we have to
judge for ourselves what the reasons for them may have been. It is, of
course, obvious that the party moved from Brussels to Lierre for change of
air after the severe attack of fever which had ravaged their "home" at

# This Mistress Waldegrave seems to be Arabella, daughter of Henry, first Lord
Waldegrave, and of Henrietta, the natural child of James II. by Arabella Churchill,
sister to the Duke of Marlborough. Mistress Waldegrave would thus have been great
grandchild of Anne Fasten (who married Sir Henry Waldegrave, the second baronet),
sister of Margaret Paston, Lady Bedingfeld, who was still alive. As Mistress
Waldegrave is mentioned first among the nuns, it is likely that the visit was made to
her as to a relative.

From the list of nuns professed at Brussels, printed in the Appendix to Weldon's
Chronological Notes (Ed. 1881) p. 34, it seems that Mistress Waldegrave was called
in religion Theodosia Joanna, professed in 1666, and that she was Abbess from 1713
to her death in 1719. From the same source we learn that Elizabeth ChiUon was
professed in 1691, and Gertrude Henrietta Chilton in 1694, but there is no mention
of any Bowles.

j See below, p. 84.

58 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

Brussels. For a week after his arrival the boy invalid was convalescent, but
after that he seems to have got quite strong again, except for an occasional
cold in his eye. On the other hand, Marwood sprained his leg (Feb. 3), and,
worse still, the. Reverend Mother was sick unto death. The best doctors
were sent for, and Marwood, ever interested in medical details, tells us
approvingly many particulars about her treatment, which will, I daresay,
sound barbaric and cruel to moderns. She recovered a little, and Sir Henry
came down for the last time to see his sisters, and left for England on the 1 3th
of February, the terms of his permit to travel probably forcing him to return.

At last, on the igth of March, "being St. Joseph's day, after a most
painful sickness of 50 days, the Revd Mother dyed." Next day Marwood
and the Esquire attended her funeral.

She was Elizabeth Mostyn. in religion Mother Ursula of All Saints,
sister of Sir Edward Mostyn of Talacre, as well as of the celebrated Mother
Margaret. Elizabeth was born 14 February 1627, and many details about
her will be found in the Life of Mother Margaret Mostyn (by Edmund
Bedingfeld), pp. n, i8#., 23, &c. She had been Prioress ever since the
death of her sister twenty-one years before.

On the i Qth of next month Mistress Southwell was chosen Prioress,
Mistress Somerset Sub-Prioress, and Mistress Fettiplace "Discreet."

Mrs. Southwell must be an alias, for from elsewhere we see that the
succeeding Prioress was no other than the Baronet's sister Margaret, in
religion Margaret of Jesus, who was professed in 1673, and died in 1714.
Sister Mary Francis of St. Anne (Somerset) had been professed in 1680,
and died in 1745. Mrs. Fettiplace was a widow, her maiden name was
Mostyn, and she was one of three nuns at Lierre, nieces of the Reverend
Mother just dead. In religion her name was Margaret Theresa of the
Immaculate Conception, professed in 1694. She died in 1743, and had
been twenty-one years Prioress.

They will frequently appear hereafter as correspondents, especially in
money matters. The explanation of this probably is that Sir Henry was
accustomed to send to that convent the dowers of his sisters, and, having
made sure that this channel was safe, went on sending to Marwood by the
same means. It will be seen that "writings" were executed (5th March)
and "bills" received (3rd April), and a visit was made to Brussels and
Antwerp (March 13 to 16), to Mr. Hunter, Sir Dan. Arthur, and others.
These were all presumably on business, and probably connected with the
death of the Reverend Mother Mostyn.

On the igth of April Marwood goes to " Burham," and there meets Captain
Binn and Mr. Dryden. Read without comment, this entry may seem unim
portant, but in reality it was a family matter, and one of some importance
for the Esquire. "Burham" is really Bornhem, the chief house of the
English Dominicans. Captain Binn, i.e. Captain Bing, has long since
resigned his command, and is an octogenarian friar, who has just resigned
the post of Provincial. Mr. Dryden is the youngest son of the great Poet
Laureate (who was then on his deathbed, and died on the ist of May, O.S.)
by his wife Lady Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Berkshire, and
sister to Sir Henry's (the first Baronet) first wife Anne, and by consequence
a cousin of the Esquire. Martin was now Sub-Prior, and it was probably at
his invitation that Marwood called.

Our author's description of the house is that it was " neat," a favourite
adjective of his, and he adds that it was " well situate for summer, but low
for winter." Read in the light of future events, we see that this is written in
view of the Esquire's coming to live there, for the Friars were about to
develop their school there, which, after the year 1703 (Palmer, Life of
Cardinal Howard, p. 22 1), grew and flourished exceedingly, but which at
this time seems to have consisted only of a " Mr. Mannel," perhaps one of
the Meynels of Kelvedon.

1700] MARWOOD'S DIARY 59

Marlow's guarded report perhaps did not fully satisfy Sir Henry, but
preparations for removal began. On the ist of May they were "at the
governor's to take leave," and on the 3rd the family party broke up. Father
Pordage seems to have returned to guide the young ladies, with Mrs. Mas-
terson, to Dunkirk. Marwood and the Esquire accompanied them as far as
Antwerp.

Marwood again passes over the reasons for the choice of Dunkirk as a
place of education for the girls, and again the genealogical tree of the family
supplies the omission. The Benedictine monastery at Dunkirk was a foun
dation from Ghent, commenced in 1662 under the Lady Abbess Mary Caryll,
who died in 1712 (Annals of the English Benedictines of Ghent, and now at
Oulton, 1894). Her brother Richard had married Frances Bedingfeld, Sir
Henry's sister. So a family tie connected the girls with the convent, while
Father Pordage also had two sisters nuns there.

If, therefore, Sir Henry had been asked by some government inquirer
whether his children went to Papist schools abroad, he could truly answer
that they were only travelling on the Continent, and had been paying visits
to cousins, aunts, and other relations.

The reason for this caution was all the greater at this time, as Parliament
had just passed the cruel and malignant laws of the eleventh and twelfth years
of King William, " for the further preventing the growth of Popery," which
were intended to ruin every Catholic who heard mass, or educated his child
as a Catholic. To say nothing of inability to inherit or purchase land, after
the loth of April 1700 : "WHOEVER shall convict a Person of sending his
child &c. beyond Sea to be educated in popery — TO RECEIVE as a reward
the whole Penalty of ioo/. inflicted by 3 James I." &c., &c. An enormous
premium therefore was now set upon the vile trade of the informer, and it
behoved every Catholic parent to act with the utmost possible circumspec
tion. It cannot surprise us hearing frequent changes of plans and of pre
cautions, which were perhaps all the better for being a trifle comic.

Thus we read on the I4th of May : " I recd a letter from Sr H. in order
for Fr.,': that is, orders to take the boy to France with a view to his going to
school there, as was eventually done. So letters were " writ to Mr. Fonseca
to take places" in the coach, and all was ready for departure when a second
letter came to stop them, sent by the care of the Reverend Mother Southwell.
There seems to have been a consultation as to what should be done next, and
it was resolved that Marwood and his charge should visit " Mr." or " Mrs."
Burham (i.e. the Dominican convent at Bornhem). This system of turning
place names into personal names in order to disguise them was frequent among
English Catholics. It sounds funny here, but Marwood had good reasons
for keeping his hand in for the " epistolary style " of the period.

After a preliminary visit to " Mr." Burham by Marwood, and the usual long
farewells, he and his little charge set off to " Mrs." Bornhem by boat on a
wet day. A friend, Mr. Lutre, sent down his " Calesh" to drive them up to
the house, and there they were kindly received by " Captain " Bing and " Mr."
or " Mons." or " Father" Mine," who was to be the Esquire's preceptor.

Edward Bing had been provincial in 1695. ^e had, under the name of " Captain
Byngly," been charged by Titus Gates with complicity in his plot (Palmer, pp. 183,
217). He died 1701, cttatis eighty-two (Oliver, 451).

t Elizabeth Arundell, daughter of Sir John Arundell of Lanherne, the second
wife of Sir Henry, died 13/23 April 1689, in giving birth to her son Henry
Arundel, who had therefore now completed his lith year (Playfair, Family
Antiquity, i. 527).

J She was daughter of Colonel Thomas Nelson, and Ursula Colford, who had
migrated to Brabant, and with the reputation of sanctity. All their four children
became religious. One of the boys, Francis, became a Jesuit (Foley, vii. 539) and
one a Franciscan. Both the girls, Mary and Catherine, were professed at Licrre ;
Margaret (Sister Mary of St. Bernard) in 1654, Catherine (Sister Anne Theresa of

§ 4. — BORNHEM

27 May to 26 October 1700

The stay at Bornhem was comparatively uneventful. The most im
portant news here recorded is the death of the King of Spain (i4th

* Calesh, now generally Calash ; a light two-wheeled cart with a hood.

1700] MARWOOD'S DIARY 65

November), soon to be followed by the War of the Spanish Succession.
Hardly less eventful for England was another death, that of the boy Duke
of Gloucester (igth August), so momentous for the fortunes of Prince
Charlie.

Frequent and interesting are the notices of the various Dominican
Fathers, of whose virtues and labours we as yet know so little. Marwood,
regular in his practice of disguising proper names, hardly lets us know
who are Friars, who laymen, but with attention we recognise besides FF.
Bing and Dry den, already mentioned, FF. Barker, Burges, Donain (? also
Doning), Grimes, Lovett, Martin, Moullins, Myne (Meen or Mine), Penning-
ton, Peter, Williams, Worthington, and Brothers Dye and Vincent. A
good many details concerning them may be found in Palmer, Obituary
Notices of tJic Friars Preachers in England. There are also other points
of interest in regard to the order, e.g. their great traveller, Father Felle
(gth June), and many movements of Fathers to the English mission and
to the various cloisters.

Marwood's little charge was now growing rapidly. Though only eleven
years old, he was 4 feet 5 inches on June the I3th ; on ist September
he was "4 feet £ " ; and on 8th November 4 feet 8^ inches. I am not
clear as to Marwood's standards, and gather that he was using a measure
rather shorter than ours. But however this may be, the boy was tall, and
all things considered, his health was good. He made his first communion
on the 4th of August, St. Dominic's Day. A week earlier his old grand
mother had sent him what would be considered, in those thrifty days, the
very handsome tip of one guinea.

Bornhem being comparatively near Antwerp and Brussels, a good many
visitors passed through, as Lord Ailesbury and his family, and Mr. Thomas
Eyre of Hassop, and the painter Hagenbroche. Marwood, moreover, was
frequently paying calls at Lierre and other places, of which full descriptions
are often given (iSth June, gth July). He was also struck by the funeral of
Count Colonna (25th June, I3th July), and the subsequent reception of the
founder's next heir (3151 August, 3rd September). He was also amused by
a variety of quaint objects, a decoy (7th June), a fortress (ist July), a
unicorn's (i.e. narwhal's) horn, and rich armour (8th July), bad malt (ISth
July), weights and measures (7th August), £c., &c., &c.

At last orders came from Sir Henry (3Oth October) that they should set
out on their journey to France, and after all preparations for travelling
were finished, and farewells said, they left Bornhem on the iith of
November.

Tliursd. 27 May. Mons. Mine went to Brussels, so we went about
ye house, & saw ye Village.

•Frid. 28. All Day within. Father Mine,* the Preceptor, at Brussels.
This day 3 Cittizens were condemned to dye. I writ to S' H., & ye

Sat. 29. Father Mine came home. And Lord Stafford f was to
be at Brussels from England.

Sund. 30. Whit Sunday. We went to Visit ye Countess of Born-
hem | ; her Castle Antient & large. The Count was Sick of the Gout,

# Fr. Minne, a Walloon Dominican, was Provisor of Bornhem ; he resigned his
office in 1700 (Van Doninck, p. 272, and 84 below).

t Henry Stafford Howard was son of the martyred William Viscount Stafford,
but took part against King James, and was created Earl of Stafford in October 1688.
See also J. Kirk, Biographies of English Catholics, p. 130.

% John Frans Coloma, born at Brussels on August 22, 1630, married Maria
Theresia d'Ognies (1654) ; he was created a count of Bornhem on May 2, 1658.
His wife died at Malincs on December 7, 1712 (Van Doninck, p. 37").

Tues. 15. Mr Dreyd. & Capt. Bing went to Lyre. I recd my Coat
fro' Mr Tobine wth Letters fro' M™ Southwell.

* I gather from the tone of this comment that Marwood thought the "exercise"
unsportsmanlike. The shooting was perhaps with a cross-bow, f

t Catherine Mildmay, the sister of Father George Mildmay, O.S.D., was pro
fessed at Vilvorde, I4th July 1665, and had afterwards gone to the Spellekens
(Palmer, pp. 134, 145)- Constantia was presumably a younger sister.

J The famous duck-houses of Bornhem are said to have been imported from
England by the English Dominicans (Best, Ch&tellenie de Bornhem, pp. 14 and 43 ;
quoted by Van Doninck, p. 249). The Bornhem aviary is recorded in a document
of 1318 ; cf. Van Doninck, p. 249.

§ William Felle (1633-1710), a Dominican, born at Dieppe, Doctor of Theology,
&c., who travelled over all Europe, and made excursions into Asia and Africa.

|| Here, and elsewhere, when the height of the Esquire is noted, the entry is
underlined with a cross.

^1 This seems to be "Gilbert Parker, S.T.M. He had just completed his trien-
nium of priorship at Bornhem, and was preparing to sail for the English mission,
when he was unfortunately drowned in the port of Ostend, on the 8th of December
1707 " (Oliver, p. 465).

f The Earl of Ailesbury (see above, p. 50) married in April 1700, as his second
wife, Charlotte Argentau, Countess of Sannu, in the Duchy of Brabant, and they were
now" enjoying a somewhat belated marriage tour (Memoirs of 7'homas, harl of
Ailesbury (Roxburgh Club), 1890, pp. 490-494), and afterwards had one daughter,
Charlotte Mary, married to Prince Home. Lady Elizabeth was a daughter by his
first marriage (see below, 1 3th September 1701).

t Sir Richard Lechford of Selwood, Surrey (which estate he sold 1639), had
been knighted as early as 1623, and was living in 1649. Whether Lady " Leshford "
was his wife, I cannot tell, and I do not trace any later holders of the title.

Prince George of Denmark, born July 24, 1689, and immediately created Duke of

§5. — JOURNEY TO FRANCE
November 14 to December 28, 1700

Leaving Bornhem, Marwood and his charge passed through Uender-
moncl and Ghent, where for a wonder they made no stay, and reached
Bruges. There was one member of their family (or even two) in the
convent of the Dames Anglaises, but they belonged to the Redlingfield
branch. Foley gives the names both of Mary and of Agnes (Records, v.
568), and one of these had probably taken the name Austin, after their
founder. Marwood, while systematically avoiding the name of the convent,
mentions eight nuns, besides Mistress Austin Bedingfeld, whose families will
probably have been allied to, or acquainted with the Bedingfelds.

Next day they passed on to Nieuport, where there was a convent of

* See above, No. iv. 5. Sir Richard Beling was godfather to Frances, Lady
Belings, godmother to Elizabeth Bedingfeld.

t The abbey had been incorporated to the bishopric of Antwerp by Pius IV. in
J559; tne "Composition" alluded to happened in 1636. Cf. Leioy, Xotitia
uiarchionatus sairi roinani imperil, pp. 55-67.

% Afflighem is a famous Benedictine Abbey, SE. of the town Alost, SE. of
Ghent.

76 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

English Carthusians. Marwood, of course, only mentions the names of
Mr. Hunter and six other fathers. Father Hunter was a regular corre
spondent, but it is hard to distinguish him in the diary from Father Thomas
Hunter the Dominican.

Thence to "the Lady Caryl's" at Dunkirk, and again nothing to tell
us that this was a Benedictine monastery, under a Lady Abbess. We have
already seen that she was closely connected with theBedingfeld family, and
that it was on this ace >unt presumably that Frances and Margaret had been
sent to her for their education. But Sir Henry now wanted the elder girl
home, so on the 2ist of November preparations for the start were begun.
On the Monday following they went off in great state, the Governor and
Intendant of Police lending them their great "Coaches to carry them and
their company to Mario's Vessel." But no sooner had they got under
weigh than the wind veered round and blew so violently tiiat amid the
many sandbanks they were in no small clanger, and had to lie straining and
tossing at anchor all that night. Miss Margaret and the rest came ashore
next day, resolved to make their next attempt i>iii Calais, which they
eventually did on the 26th. Mrs. Masterson went back with her.*

Meantime the good Lady Abbess was very ill, and an English doctor is
sent for (November 30), who turns out to be Irish, so early had that nation
won their way to the front of the medical profession. Her ladyship, how
ever, took a turn for the better, and was destined to live yet many years.

Marwood remained six weeks at Dunkirk, and comments on several
sights. The Abbess's kitchen seems to have pleased him most (Novem
ber 19). He also dwells on the big ships, on the pile-driving round the
harbour (December 2), the fortifications, ice-carrying, &c. &c.

On the 2pth orders came to go to Paris, and on the 28th they had
reached Calais, and passed for good on to French soil. We must regret
that our travellers have left Flanders behind them, where they met English
Catholics at every turn. Henceforward there will not be quite so many
of them.

On the other hand, it will soon become clear that the journey to France,
from an educational point of view, was a great success. We may sup
pose that Sir Henry did not care to send his son to St. Omers or any of the
greater schools in Flanders, lest he should be detected by the informers of
the English Government. So the boy is nominally only staying with
cousins and relatives, though really his education is in full swing. In
central France, however, there will be less chance of attracting hostile
notice, and there he may go to a great public school, though always under
a feigned name. Indeed, it seems that he had been called Mr. Nelson for
some time back (October 26).

Thurs. 1 1 Nov. Sf Martin's Day a fine Frosty Morn. We took a
Wagon for Uendermond, at nere 9, and arrived there at nere One.
Lodged at ye half Moon, Monr Gabriels. After noon went round
the Rempars wch are not very Strong, but double Pallisado'd. There
the Dender runs into ye Scheld whence ye Towne is named. The
Strength of the Towne is that they can drown for nere a Legue round.
There was a Castle in it, but t'is demolisht. T'is a poor Towne, but
one large Church, besides Cloysters of wh the Carmes is a perfect Isle.

Frid. 12. After Pray™ at ye Augustines we took a Chaise for
Ghant 5 hours distant, went away at n arrived abt 5, And took our
Lodging at ye Picardy nere the Grand Bouchery.

* I fancy that Marwood suspected Captain Mario of sharp practice. There
are several rather pointed notes about " Mario pretending to go to sea, but did not."
Perhaps he refused to refund the fare after Miss Margaret hnd taken a different

Sp. was dead.

presently carried to ye Gouvern1', whom having satisfied (his name Don
Diego d'Yagur) we Lodged at ye Couroune Imperiall & then went to
Mr Hunter, who received us kindly wth Mr Tyrrell & Thos Baker, Mr
Yates, Mr Hills, Mr Ridle, Mr Nelson.

Tuesd. 1 6. We Wayted on ye Gouvern1" afternoon, wth Mr Hunter
who Invited us next day to Dinner but we excused our Selves, as
designing to leave the Towne next mom, wch we intended. There we
had the first certaine Ace1 of ye K. of Spaine's death, tho' the Cover"
\vould not own it freely.

Wed. 17. We went abfc the Wals, saw the Strength of ye Towne,
wcl' is most in the Sluces drowning the Countrey, even to ye Market of
Furnes. Saw all ye Appartmts of ye Carthusians, who had ye day

Saw the Fish Market wch is a very pleasant, & easy selling of fish
a Vencan & for ye Price, whoever buys it, the Fishmongers of ye Towne
are there, & pay the Money, & for that are allow'd ye 12th penny of the

Thursd. 1 8. At 8 in the morn we took a Wagon to Our selves to
Dunkerque, arrived there ab*1 3 wthout Stop ; went all the Way on the
Sands. And came to the Lady Caryl, where I found Mrs Caryl,* Mm
Pordage,f M™ Copley,t Sr Edward Southcote,§ Mr Smith, Mr Sheldon,
Mr Parkhurst &c.

* According to Max de Trer.qualeon, West Grinstcad et les Caryll, 1893, ii. 105,
not less than fourteen ladies, sisters or nieces of the Abbess Lady Mary Caryll.
entered various English convents about this time. But which of them is here in
tended is difficult to determine. Later on we hear of Lady Caryll's "niece"
(December 26). It was possibly Mary (in religion Mary Magdalen), the daughter
of Richard Caryll and Frances Bedingfeld ; but as she was not professed till 1706, I
suppose that she had not yet entered the order. The first place assigned to her here
suggests that she was the nearest connection of the Bedingfeld family at the convent.
See also \Yeldon, Chronological Notes, Ap. , p. 45.

f Anne Pordage had been professed at Ghent in 1650, and Xaveria in lC6i.
Both these are styled of Rodmersham, and came to Dunkirk (Annals of i/te
Benedictines of Ghent, p. 198). A Frances Pordage had been professed there in 1671
(Weldon, Ap., pp. 37, 45).

+ Two Mistress Copleys appear in the list of professed religious of Dunkirk,
Dames Mary and Mary Alexia. professed in 1679 and 1685 (Weldon, Ap., p. 45).

NOTE

ON THE LOCALITIES IN BELGIUM MENTIONED IN MARWOOD'S

DIARY

BY L. WIU.AERT, S.J.

At the time of Marwood's journey, Belgium was composed of a number
of states — the duchy of Brabant, the county of Flanders, &c. — without any
very close union between themselves. These states, however, with the
exception of the prince-bishopric of Liege, were all "personally" united
under the sway of the King of Spain, Charles II., and governed in his
name by Maximilian Emmanuel, Elector of Bavaria. They had been
wasted for the last fifty years by the armies of Louis XIV. and of his allied
foes; even the peace of Ryswyk (1697), which ended the war "of the
Augsbourg coalition," could only be considered as a truce, and the disputed
succession of Spain was soon to draw the armies of Marlborough on the
battlefields of the Netherlands.

1700] MARWOOD'S DIARY 81

Another connection between England and Belgium was due to the
numerous English Catholics who had taken refuge in Catholic " Flanders."
Chief among them were the inhabitants of the many religious houses
founded by British refugees at the end of the sixteenth and the beginning
of the seventeenth century. Several of these houses are mentioned in
Marwood's diary. I propose to show the reader how to trace the journey
of the Bedingfelds on a map of the present day, and to supply some
information on the English religious houses which they visited.

ANTWERP

After crossing the Channel from Harwich (August 24, 1699) our travellers
passed "the light at ye Goree" (Goeree, then an island off the Dutch coast,
between the islands Schouwen and Voorn, but now amalgamated with the
island Over-Flakkee), and the next day "entered the Bril" (Briel, then a
fortified harbour on the N. coast of the island Voorn), which they left soon
after, and arrived at Rotterdam "in ye skeut boat" (the Flemish word
scJiuit means a flat-bottomed boat for inland navigation).

In those days the arm of the Scheld that ran N. of Antwerp and met
the Meuse was still broad enough to allow shipping ; so Marwood and his
charge travelled by water to Dort (Dordrecht), and, having been obliged to
stop at "Meredike" (Maerdyck, on the E. bank), "took a waggon" for
Antwerp (duchy of Brabant).

At Antwerp they visited several places of interest (September 7) : first,
" St. Mary's Church," i.e. Notre-Dame, the famous cathedral, well known
to every traveller on the Continent ; the Jesuit Church, now St. Charles
Borromeo, situated between Notre-Dame and the Museum, near the pre
sent S. Ignatius Commercial Institute (Courte rue Neuve) — the church was
built on the plans of P. P. Rubens, who painted for it no less than thirty-
nine pictures ; unhappily, part of the building was burnt down in 1718, and
the church lost most of its treasures. *

The Carmelite Nuns had been founded in 1619 by Lady Mary Lovel with
the assistance of Mother Anne (Worsley) of the Ascension, who was chosen
first prioress, and continued in office till her death in December 1644. In
1794 the nuns were compelled to leave ; they found refuge in their native
country, and eventually settled at Lanherne, near St. Columb's, in Corn
wall.! Their Antwerp house was situated in the street then called Hopland
(now rue des Houblonniers, near Rubens' house, between the Place de
Meir and the Avenue des Arts) ; it was sold in 1798, and the old Carmelite
Chapel is now used as a storehouse ; but the chief part of the convent
belongs to the Redemptorist Fathers, who have built a new chapel in the
Gothic style. J The convent stood at a short distance of "ye rcmpars,"
Antwerp being an important fortified town ; they have since been pulled
down, and are now the "avenues" (du Commerce, des Arts, de 1'In-
dustrie).

St. Michael Church (May 4, 1700). This old abbey, founded by the
Norbertines or Praemonstratentians in 1124, was one of the chief abbeys of
the Netherlands. It became "bien national" after the French invasion in

1796, and was totally destroyed by the Dutch in 1830. The name of the
"Quai Saint-Michel," near the "Station du Pays de Waes," is the only
trace left by the once prosperous abbey.* At the time of Marwood it was
situated close to the citadel, built by the Duke of Alva in 1572, which
formed the southern limit of the town, but has since been demolished. In
fact, St. Michael was once termed "1'eglise de la citadelle." Marwood calls
it the "Castel St. Michael's" ; this name (S. MichiePs bolwerk), however,
was only given to a little bastion near the church. f The tombstone of Don
Francisco Marcos de Velasco has been transferred to St. James Church,
where it is still to be seen.J Some of the artistic treasures to which Mar-
wood makes allusion are described by Sanderus, Chorographia . . ., vol. i.
p. 121. Among them was the Adoration of the Magi, by P. P. Rubens,
which is at the Antwerp Museum, No. 298. Woodcuts of the pictures
in the refectory, by "Quilinus" (John A. Erasmus Quelin), will be found in
P. Genard, Anvers . . ., vol. i., pp. 196 scq.

LlERRE

Leaving Antwerp our travellers arrived at Lyre (now Lier, Lierre), a
small town some three hours to the SE. of Antwerp. Here also there was
an English Carmelite convent, which had many connections with the family

(see above, pp. 47, 57)-

Two days after their arrival Marwood paid a visit to the governor ot the
town, Charles-Theodore, Baron of Winterfeld, who was lieutenant-general
of the armies of Philip V. in the Netherlands, and was created a marquis
on March 12, I7o6.§

His father, Charles-Frederic, Baron of Winterfeld, Knight, "Seigneur
dc Daluun, Stresan et Poppendorf," who belonged to the Brandenburg
nobility, came over to the Netherlands under the Archduke Leopold of
Austria, governor.

On the Carmelite convent at Lierre, cf. F. Foppens, Histona hptsco-
poruni Antverpiens., p. 195, 1717 ; Sanderus, Grand Theatre sacre du
Brabant, t. ii. p. 175 (La Haye, 1729). After having left Lierre the nuns were
settled first at Auckland, St. Helen's, near Durham; they are now at
Carmel House, Darlington. Cf. Husenbeth, p. 102.

Edmund Bedingfeld, who was appointed by the Bishop of Antweip
confessor of the convent, was buried in the beautiful church of St. Gom-
maire, the patron of the town. Here his tombstone is still to be seen ; it
bears the following inscription (without date) : —

D.O.M.

Hie jacet Edmundus non falso nomine mundus,
Christiparae et mundae virginitatis amans.
Haereticos Anglos Romana ob sacra reliquit,
Insigni et veteri NOBIUTATE potens.
Ilic demum corpus sub terra exsanguc rclinquit,
Surgat ut angelica vociferante tuba,

Tu prece catholica lector amice juva.
Amen.

1700] MARWOOD'S DIARY 83

Not far from the church was the well of St. Gommaire (see March 31,
1700), to which tradition ascribes a miraculous origin. Some harvestmen
working in a field, being tired and thirsty on account of the heat, the saint
dug a hole in the earth with his stick, and at once a fountain sprang up.
" Etiamnum videtur puteus quem fontem divi Gommari appellant, in pen-
dente colli(s) prope rluvium Netham." — Ada Sanctorum Octobris, vol. v.
pp. 685 seq.

BRUSSELS

The route to Brussels (October 19) is clearly indicated "by Duffelt"
(Duffel, then called Duffel Vr\'heit, a small town on the Nethe inferieure,
half way between Lierre and Malines), Malines (on the Dyle, about half
way between Antwerp and Brussels), and "Vilbort" (Vilvorden, a small
town N. of Brussels). Hence the goods were sent on "by water," i.e. by
the Willebroeck Canal, passing near Vilvorden and connecting Brussels
with the Ruppel at Boom.

Both the "Towne House" and "Grand Marche" of Brussels are well
known to English visitors.

As to "ye rampars," they have been turned into modern "boulevards"
(de Waterloo, du Regent, &c.), beyond which the town has since extended
itself on all sides.

The Dominican Convent was situated between the present Place de la
Liberte and the rue du Gouvernement provisoire (see old map of the town
in Henne and Wauters, Histoire de Bruxelles, vol. ii. p. I. For further
details about the convent, cf. Henne and Wauters, vol. iii. p. 572 ; Sanderus,
Grand Theatre sacre" du Brabant, vol. i. p. 287 ; De Jonghe, Belgium

liniensium, vol. ii. p. 47 : Oliver, Collections . . . Cornwall, pp. 154 seq.;
Van Doninck, Hct Engclsch Klooster te Bornkeni, pp. 172 seq. (Louvain,
1904).

The church and abbey of the English Benedictine nuns have long since
disappeared ; they stood near St. Gudule's collegiate church, where is now
the rue de Berlaymont (see map in Henne and Wauters, Hist, de Brux.,
vol. ii. p. i). Besides the works quoted above the following may be noticed :

vol. ii. (1725) pp. 44 seq.; Oliver, Collections , . . Cornwall, p. 142.

The Jesuit School (cf. Sanderus, Chorographia sacra Brabantlae, vol. iii.
p. 32, The Hague, 1746) was near at hand ; it extended from the rue de la
Faille to the rue de Ruysbroeck and the rue d'Or, the church occupying
the place now called Place de la Justice (the present rue Lebeau, which
connects the Place du Grand Sablon and the rue d'Or, runs on the old
premises of the college). — Cf. Henne et Wauters, Histoire de Bruxelles y
vol. ii. p. i.

The house of "Cap. de Bode" was situated where is now the rue d'Or,
at a very short distance of the Place du Grand Sablon.

The Lorrainesses, who belonged to the Institute of B. Peter Fourrier,
came to Brussels in 1638 from S. Nicolas in Lorraine under the guidance
of Henrietta of Phalsbourg, Princess of Lorraine. Cf. Abbe Mann, Abrege
de /' "Histoire . . . de Bruxelles, vol. i. p. 177 (Bruxelles, 1785). In their
Histoire de Bruxelles (vol. iii. p. 417, Bruxelles, 1845) Henne and Wauters
give the following details : " Elles firent construire un cloitre, des cellules,
une chapelle et des snlles pour les jeunes filles auxquelles elles enseignaient
gratuitement la lecture, Pe"criture, 1'arithmetique, la musique vocale et in-
strumentale, et la langue allemande." At the French invasion their house

84 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

was turned into barracks ; later it was made part of the old Palais de
Justice; it is now destroyed.

The odd custom, which Marwood relates on January 19, is thus recorded
by the chief historians of Brussels. It will be seen that Marwood had
heard a different account of the origin of the " Viel de femmes." " La
tradition rapporte que les guerriers bruxellois echappes au cimeterre des
Sarrazins [in the first crusade] . . . reparurent subitement dans leur ville
natale le 19 Janvier noi. Grande fut la joie de leurs femmes, qui se
croyaient veuves ; elles leur laisserent & peine le temps d'achever le repas
de bienvenue et les porterent dans le lit conjugal. Le souvenir de cet
heureux retour s'est perpe'tue'. . . . Lors de 1'anniversaire de cet dvenement,
appele la Veillee des Dames (Vrouwkens avond), celles-ci sont maitresses
au logis et les cloches des eglises sonnent en leur honneur. Jusqu'en 1781,
le conseil de Brabant conserva 1'habitude de prendre vacance 1'apres-diner
de ce jour" (Henne et Wauters, Histoire de Bruxellcs, vol. i. p. 30).

SECOND VISIT TO LIERRE

For the reasons which have been pointed out above (p. 57) the Beding-
felds went back from Brussels to Lierre, of which we have already spoken.
Here again Marwood informs us of the places which either he or his friends
went to visit — the " Prieure de la Montagne de la Paix, dit Vrfdenburgh"
(January 26, Butkens, Trophees . . . Suppl., vol. ii. p. 144), the Bernardine
abbey of Notre-Dame at Nazareth, a small village near the town (Feb
ruary 8), the Carthusian "Prieure de Ste. Catherine au Mont-Sion"
(February 9), St. Elizabeth Hospital (in Flemish gasthuis ; see May I,
" Ghant House"), and, of course, St. Gommare Church. There Marwood
saw the Dean washing " 12 poor men's feet"; the well-known custom had
been introduced in the canonry some seventy years before.*

BORNHEM

About the end of May, Marwood and his pupil moved off from Lierre,
via Antwerp, to Bornhem, a small town SW. of Antwerp, along the Scheld ;
it was then the head town of the county of Bornhem, which belonged to
the county of Flanders. Here was the famous Dominican house of the
Holy Cross, founded in 1658. It had been built in 1603 by Pedro Coloma,
and in 1658 Fr. Thomas Philip (future Cardinal) Howard, first Dominican
prior, took possession of it. Since the departure of the Dominicans in 1794
it was left uninhabited till 1835, when it was bought by the Cistercian monks
of St. Bernard's Abbey, who are the present owners. A college for English
youths had been started as early as 1660, but this first attempt failed.
Again in 1672 some students were admitted, but again they left for various
reasons. However, the next year a hospitium was established, where
candidates for the order might pursue their studies ; but this was not more
successful, and after 1690 no students were received. As has been said
above, it was only in 1703 that the College of Bornhem was opened. At
the time of Marwood's stay Fr. William Thomas Barry was prior. |

TERMONDE, BRUGES, NIEUPORT, DUNKERQUE

After a stay of about five months, orders having come to leave Bornhem
and go to France, Marwood took his course towards Dunkerque, making a

find references to the best authorities.

1700] MARWOOD'S DIARY 85

detour by Bruges, for the reasons pointed out above. The party first
arrived at Dendermonde (Termonde, see October 9), where Marwood
notices the fortifications.*

Then, after driving to Ghent, they took the boat, which sailed regularly
— as it still does — along the canal from Ghent to Bruges.

The English convent of Augustinian Canonesses (Dames anglaises) at
Bruges had been founded by sisters from St. Monica, an English convent
established at Louvain in 1609. The first prioress at Bruges was Sister
Frances Standford, who took possession in 1629 of a house formerly belong
ing to Lady Mary Lovel. There it is that the convent is still flourishing
at the present day in the rue des Cannes, the only English community
which returned to Belgium after the general removal of 1794. t

The Carmelite house mentioned by Marwood was situated along the
present " Potterie Rei" (Quai de la Potterie).

Pursuing their journey, Marwood and his charge travelled first by the
Ostend Canal, then by the Plasschendaele Canal to Nieuport — in those
days a fortified town on the seaside, WSW. of Bruges, where they visited the
English Carthusians, This community, before settling at Nieuport in
1626, had been successively established in various towns of the Nether
lands, Bruges (1559), Louvain (1578), and Malines (1591) ; it was suppressed
in 1783 by the Emperor Joseph Il.t

Finally, after driving southwards along the " dunes " of the seaside, the
travellers left the Netherlands and arrived at Dunkerque. This town,
formerly belonging to Flanders, was in 1659 given to England ; it was sold
to Louis XIV. in 1662. At Dunkerque Marwood found "ye Ladys" at the
Benedictine Convent, of which mention was made above (p. 76).§ The
Jesuit College (Nov. 29) had been opened in 1620 in a house called "het
roode Kruys," on the Place Saint-Jacques, on the spot where the town
college now stands.

The difficulties which delayed the embarking for Calais gave Marwood
an opportunity of visiting the harbour and the forts. The curious reader
will find a map of them in Rousset, Beschryving, vol. ii. p. 341. The
entrance to the harbour was kept by a double pier, extending as far as the
low-water mark; the end of the east pier being protected by the "Chateau
verd" ("Fort vert," November 29), and the end of the other pier by the
"Chateau de Bonne Esperance" (ibid.). Risbanc (Richbank, December
1 6) was a fort east of the pier on the sands.

§ 6.— PARIS
December 29, 1700, to January 24, 1701

Marwood's narrative is here easy to follow. They passed along a well-
known route, through Abbeville, by the "neat" castle of Pierre, Beauvais,
the porch of which " is celebrated for its beauty," and St. Denis "ou les Roys
ne vont jamais, mais y sont porte"s." There were several carriage accidents,

86 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

two near Pois, another while approaching Beauvais, and a narrow escape
from disaster after leaving that town.

At Paris rooms had been found for them by Mr. Edward Lutton, the
chaplain of the English Augustinian convent in the Rue des Fossds-Saint-
Victor, and the explanation of their going there is once more to be found
by consulting the family tree. In this convent there had been two Pastons
nuns — Frances, who died in 1650, and Agnes, who died in 1693 ; also two
Cobbes — Elizabeth Ursula, dead in 1687, and Dorothy Austin, who was still
alive. There were also still alive Anne Austin Waldegrave and Pulcheria
Dorothy Eyre, the Esquire's aunt, who had been superioress a few years
earlier, but was now rapidly failing. Besides this there was a Mistress
Elizabeth Eyre, apparently not a nun. So there were many reasons why
the Bedingfelds should have felt themselves no strangers to this interesting
religious family. A Mr. James Eyres also appears as a constant companion,
and though the regular addition of an " s " to his name should make us
cautious in identifying him with the Leicestershire house of Eyre (of Hassop
and Eastwell), still the reasons for doubt are inconclusive, and the pro
babilities are that he was a cousin, a son of the Esquire's aunt Mary, and
that he was then studying medicine (6th Jan., and note).

At "ye Grand Ursulines," they found Mrs. Catherine Caryll, and at the
Scotch College (where he was afterwards buried) John Caryl], the head of
the family, and Secretary of State to the fallen Stuarts, soon (i.e. after the
death of James II.) to be proclaimed a Lord. He was the only Jacobite of
any mark whom they visited, and they wisely kept away from St. Germains.
Indeed, but for the casual reference to "the Prince of Wales" instead of to
" the Pretender," and for the variations between " P. O." (i.e. Prince of
Orange) and " K. W." (King William : see May 23, June 21, Sept. 19, 1701 ;
March 31, 1702), Marwood's political colour would be indistinguishable.

At the English Benedictines, i.e. at St. Edmund's in the Faubourg St.
Jacques, they found Dom Clement Paston, a near relative (see 6th and also
I2th January), and also saw the Abbot President of the Anglo-Benedictine
congregation, though Marwood, more suo, only calls him plain Mr. Grigson.

The first day in Paris was Thursday, the feast of the Epiphany. This
having been given up to a round among the English convents and monas
teries, Friday was devoted to the great sights of the town, the Tuilleries,
the Louvre, the Luxembourg gardens, &c. Next day Marwood went to take
places in the coach, but found that all had been booked a fortnight before.
He managed, however, to get a promise of seats for the Wednesday week.

With this additional time an additional trip to Versailles and Marly was
arranged, and it was made in company with Dom Clement Paston and Mr.
James Eyres. They had the opportunity of seeing Le Grand Monarquc at
supper, also at church ; for Louis was now in his pious stage. One wonders
what Marwood's inner mind was, when he put down the colourless note
about Madame de la Valliere (January 9). He was more outspoken later
about Madame Varenne (June 3, 1703) and Madame de Montespan
(June 6, 1702). It is easy to see that Marwood thoroughly enjoyed this
excursion to Versailles, and he notes carefully the facts and figures which
seemed to him most worthy of being remembered (January 12-14).

Saturday and Sunday, the I5th and i6th, were again given up chiefly to
calls. Visits are made to Mrs. Whetenhall at the Hotel d'Estrade, and on
Lady (Madame) Throckmorton, also on Sister Cobbe. The first and third
were cousins to the Esquire. Also upon " Mr. Sergeant," presumably the
great but eccentric controversialist. On the igth of January the journey to
La Fleche was continued, and on the 24th they reached their destination.

Wed. 29 Dec. A very Wet Day. We went ab* ye Ramparts [of
Calais] wch are old & ruinous, but the dehors good and regular, w*" a
Cittadel, and the Estay fine, and they are makeing a Noble Basine

capable of the biggest Ships &: carrying the Estay farther out into
the Sea & making a Rich-bane. We hired 2 plaices of Mr. Du Val's
Coach, but to Abbeville certaine.

Thurs, 30 Dec. We took Coach abl 8 wth Mr. Glas who went but to
Bullogne. And Monsr Joncquet Cadet Musicien du Roy dans la
Petite Place a Versailes who went to Paris with us. By i we got to
Marquis a poor Village, miserable entertainement, & sad Stormey Wet
Weather. At Night we got to Bologne (7 Leagues) wch is a pretty old
Town fortified wUl Walls & Towers a r antique & separate fro' ye
Basse Ville where we lay at Mons Gaillard's at ye Angel. For our
meat we went to ye Rotisseur where we had a Capon Larded a
Rabbit Larded, a Pigeon & 2 Greenes for 45 Sous, all ready drest.

Thursd. 31. We set out by 7, & by i got to Frank (ye Weather
good) the Way good but Hilly & nothing like the sad way from
Calais to Bologne, (where we had 8 horses but stuck sometimes). At
5 we arrived at Montreuil wth 6 horses, there we had a Macquerey &
Trout for Supper (ye Macquerey much like our brent geese, & allowed
to be eaten on fasting days). Montreuil is sweetly seated on a hill
surrounded on 3 parts wth a Marsh & well fortifyed. And has a basse
Ville that has gates and Works before them, but not very moderne.
There are 2 Parish Churches besides Convents (as in Bologne). We
did our Devotions in ye G* Church.

Janry. : Saturd. i. And then set out abt 7 to Abbeville wh is abt 10
leagues. And good way & we had good weather till abt Sun Set the
wind riss. We dined poorly at a Village called [Frank cancelled}, &
between that & Sfc Huberts walking & leaving our Swords in the Coach,
mine was lost (supposed shaken out). At 6 we came to Abbeville, ye
Gate being just shut, but they were opened to us, & this was the last
Towne they search at, from Calais to Paris. We lodged well at ye
Catt. 'Tis a Town well fortified has a triple bridge, has about 13
Parish Churches & 16 Monasterys.

Sund. 2. We set out for Pois, ab* 8 in ye morn, & abk 9 Leagues
off. We were overturned about 10, between 2 Close Mountaines, wthout
ye least Damage or Danger. We dined poorly at a Sorry Village called
Pierre where was a Neat Castle, belonging to ye Dutchesse of Moire (as
I remember) & between 7 & 8 we got to a Towne called Pois a poor
village, 9 Leagues fro' Abbeville, where we had poor lodging, & about
£ a League from ye Towne, our Coach had like to have over turned at
a precipice but *J< Escaped,* but we forct to alight 6c walk afoot \ a
Mile, when it was Night & till we got off ye Hill.

Monday 3. We left Pois at 5 & \ for Beauvais 9 Leagues (which
is famed for good mutton, and where I saw some so fat and white there
could not be better). By 1 1 we came to Granville, and at 6 we got to
Beauvais, a neat Towne, the entrance of whose church is celebrated for
beauty. Just at the entrance of the Towne the coach broke, and we
walkt to ye Star where we were well entertained. (Beauvais Mutton,
Abbeville bisket and Bullogne Gloues are Esteem'd.)

Tusd. 4. We left Beauvais by 7 for Beaumont about 8 leagues,
and before 10 in the morning came to a village and dined, because

88 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

there was none nere midway. About 5 we got on the Causey of
Beaumont, a neat, fortified Town with a River just by the Gates. The
causey is raysed over a kind of Marais in some places, about 12 foot
high like a wall (on ye side) & somewhat too narrow for 2 coaches to
pass. A cart met us, and they endeavourd quietly to pass each other.
Our coach stopt (& 8 horses were in it), and by accident the horse next
ye side of ye high causey fell downe, and drew his fellow, & they the
next, on which ye Postilion was, and they the next, that 6 were down ye
precipice. But the coach man rideing on y6 next, nimbly cut the
Traces, and so *%* we escaped a most imminent danger of Death.

Wedns. 5 Jan. We left Beaumont at 7. and came to S*1 Brices, a
village but 4 leagues off, and at 2 came away by S* Denis an old ville,
the church celebrated by the funerall of ye French Kings (ou les Roys
ne vont jamais mais y sont portes) and by 5 arrived at Paris, & visited
Mr Lutton* who had provided us a Lodging in ye ffosse S* Victor
being nere him.

Thnrsd. 6. Jour des Roys. We were at prayers at yc Austines,
afterwards at yl! Douain for our Goods, afterwards at ye Grand
Ursulines with M1'8 Caryl ; then at y6 Benedictines to see Mr Cl. P.,f
Mr Grigson, Mr Hitchcok, then Mr Ja. Eyres J who supped with us yfc
night.

* Edward Lutton was chaplain to the English Convent in the Rue des Fosses
Saint-Victor. His father's name was Elrington or Eldrington, a well-to-do London
distiller. Like many other priests, Edward adopted his mother's name Lutton as an
alias. Born in 1637, he entered Douay College at the age of 14, and in due time be
came a priest. He was a good scholar and a good preacher, whose excellent business
qualities led to his being appointed Procurator to the Seminary of Douay, then to St.
Gregory's, Paris, and thence to the convent chaplaincy in 1674, which he held till his
death on the 3Oth of June 1713. His assistance to the nuns, both by advice and by
loans and gifts of money, was very considerable, and the convent still regards
him as one of its chief benefactors. — Gillow, v. 353 ; F.-M.-T. Cedoz, Un Convent
de Religieiises Anglaises a Paris de 1634 a 1884, Paris, 1891, pp. 64, 201-213.

")" Dom Clement Paston, of Barningham, Norf., was professed at St. Edmunds,
October 26, 1683. — Weldon, Af., p. 21. Several Gregsons were professed at later
dates. This seems to have been Dom Bernard, then President of the English
Congregation. Weldon's Appendix only gives one Hitchcock, Dom William (alias
Needham), but he was professed at Douay in 1650. — B. Weldon, Chronological
Notes, 1 88 1, Ap. p. 10.

J The spelling of this name should be noted. It is consistently Eyres, not Eyre,
during the stay in Paris, while Eyre is consistently given to the ladies, Mistress
Elizabeth and Mother Pulcheria Eyre. Though Marwood, like most of his con
temporaries, cared little (according to modern ideas) for orthography, this strong
contrast must have its meaning, and it would seem to mean that Mr. James was not
of the family of Eyre of Hassop, which eschewed the " s."

Yet this is not really certain. It had been common a generation or two earlier,
for different sons of the same father to adopt different spellings of the family name.
Thus four sons of a Mr. Eyre in Elizabethan times might have called themselves
respectively Eir, Eire, Eyre, and Eyres. And below we find "Aunt Ayres"
(July 10, 1701) and Mr. James Eyre. Probably, therefore, Eyres is a personal, not a
family spelling of the name. This being so, we should probably after all identify
him with James, the fourth son of Thomas Eyre of Hassop and Eastwell, who
married, as second wife, Mary Bedingfeld, the Baronet's sister. James became a
Doctor of Medicine, and died 1769 (Nichols, Leicester, vol. iv. i. 398). As he
would not be able to graduate as a doctor in England, we may assume that James

was studying or practising medicine at Paris. His sister Mary married Fasten

of Barningham, who may therefore be the " Cousin Paston " alluded to by the
Baronet, p. 38. (See also Notes on the Bedingfeld family.)

1701] MARWOOD'S DIARY 89

Frid. 7 Jan. We spent all day in visiting ye Pont neuf, the Louvre,
Thuillery, Jardin du Luxemburgh, ye Invalides, which is capable of
6000 beds, & the Dome stately ; ye College des 4 Nations finely
built, and the Palais Royall, much like our Exchange and West
minster Hall. I writ to Sr Henry, Mrs Southwel, MM Francis and
Mre Caryl.

Sat. 8. I dined at home and then went to Mr Lutton & took my
account of him, and then received of him 20 Lewis d'or at i2/. 155-.,
and then went to ye Rue de la Harpe, Enseigne S* Eustache to take
places; and there was none but ye bootes, the rest being taken 15
dayes before. So I gave him a pistole in part for 2 places certaine for
Autels on ye 19 Instant, Wednesday, 7 night, and then took coach and
went to Sr D. Arth., who received us kindly and invited us to dinner
next day, and promised to do the kindnesse I desired.

Sund. 9. We were at prayers in the morning at the Carmelite
Nuns of ye Incarnation, where Madame La Valiere,* is Religious, where
is a most noble small chappell, up 3 degrees of stairs, and parted by
Iron gates from ye body of ye Church. The altar very rich and
Pictures round the Church of vast worth. The same built by Cardinal
Berule, who is buryed there in a little chappell. And his statue to the
Life is cut in a Marble Stone upon a Pedestall in his habit at Prayer,
as lively as if it were a man. Card. Camus is buryed at ye foot of the
same altar. Then we went to ye Benedictine Nuns of Val de Grace,
built by Anne of Austria, Mother to Lewis 14, who lyes buryed in a
chappel on ye Ghospel side of ye altar. The Dome of the church is
exceeding noble guilt with gold in the Outside, & the Inside with
Glorious Painting representing the Saints in glory. Then we went to
ye E. Benedictine F., where we were handsomely treated at dinner, &
stayd till evening and went to prayers at S*1 Stephen's Parochiall
Church, where by candle light, it was most edifying to see the side
chappels & Neffe all filled with young ones chatechizing by ye
severall Canons &c. . . .

Mond. 10. We wayted on Madm Tilsly,f Prioress of ye Augus-
tinians, and then went to see ye Place des Victoires, where is a most
noble statue of Brass can be seen, of Lewis 14, all guilt with gold, and
at ye 4 corners 4 gk statues of brasse, like slaves in chaines. And there
are 4 Lanthernes on 3 pillars each, yc most curiously adorned with
sculptures of Victorys. Then at yc end of a very long street in the
view of the Former is the Place Vendosme, now a making, in a circular
forme of similar noble buildings in the midst of which on a marble
Pedestall is Lewis 14 on horseback in brasse. In passing we went to
see S* Eustache church, which is a noble Parish church. A large font
all brasse. . . .

f Anne Tyldesley was the second of the three daughters of Sir Thomas Tyldesley,
governor of Lichfield for King Charles, and who eventually died on the field near
Wigan. All three daughters entered the convent, and were all still living. Mistress
Anne was elected Superioress (not Prioress) in 1 698, and she died in office,
December II, 1720, aged 79 years, of which nearly 63 were spent in Religion. An
account of her government of the convent in Cedoz, pp. 177 to 217.

90 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

Tuesd. 1 1 Jan. We visited Lady Throckmorton,* Mra Whcatenhall f
at y° Hostel d'Estrade ; then went to a high Turret to view ye circle of
Paris which does not appear so large as London by far. Then we saw
ye g* Jesuites, a stately uniform Quadrangle (besides ye church which
is noble, & on the Ghospel side is the heart of Lewis ye 13. in a great
urne of silver gilt, & supported by 2 great angels of massive metall,
part all silver & part brass gilt). The Library is stately as indeed is
the whole fabrick & stair case. I writ to Sr Henry.

Wedn. 12. We took coach (with Mr Jas. Eyres, & Mr Cl: Paston)
for Versailes. And there found out Mr Joncquet (cadet) Musicien du
Roy dans la Petite Place. And carryed us to the court, which we saw ;
and then to the Menagery, and then to the Orangerie, which are all excel
lent. The Figures, the Fountaines, the Walks &c. are fit for a King.
We lay at the Hotel de Mante. That night we saw ye King of France,
ye Dauphin, Mons. the Duke de Chartres & Duchesse de Burgogne all
at Supper about 10 at night.

Thursd. 13. We saw about 9. the King of France at Mass with a
mighty consort (sic) of Vocal & Instrumentall Musique. About 12,
the Dauphine, Monsr, Duchesse de Borgogne & Chartres in like

% Lady Throckmorton may have been Anne Monson, the wife of the second
baronet. Her husband died in 1 680, while she survived him many years, her will
not being proved till 1728 (C. E. &., Baronetage, ii. 198).

f This Mistress Whetenhall cannot be Elizabeth, sister of the second baronet, for we
have heard him say, " My sister Whetenhall died 24 February 166- [jzV]." Whatever
the indefinite date stands for, she must have been dead before 1669, when the words
were written. The Oxburgh pedigree says she had no children. But Foley (vi. 802)
believes there were several, e.g. Henry the heir (who married Lettice Tichborne in
1691), and apparently also Dame Placida of Pontoise, Sister Teresa Benedict, Blue
Nun at Paris, and Catherine, who lived and died, in 1717, a boarder at the same
convent. It would have been one of these, perhaps the last, that is mentioned here.
The family deserves further notice.

Thomas Whetenhall, who married Elizabeth Bedingfeld as his second wife,
belonged to a family, which had been settled at Ilextall Court, East Peckham, Kent,
since the days of Henry VIII. (Hasted, Kent, iv. 45), having presumably descended
from the ancient family of Wetenhall of Wetenhall, Cheshire. The Kent family were
mostly Catholics in the beginning of the seventeenth century, for in 1613 William
Darrell (afterwards a Jesuit), whose mother was a Whetenhall, says : " Most of my
relatives on my mother's side are Catholics" (Foley, iii. 476).

Thomas, says de Grammont in his Memoirs, had once thought of studying for
the priesthood, but on the death of an elder brother had returned to carry on the
succession of the family (Memoires, 1812, p. 320). This would seem to be true, for
we find that Thomas Whetenhall, under the alias Stanley, entered the English
College, Rome, in November 1645, aged 19, and left again almost immediately in
March 1646 (Foley, vi. 365, where an erroneous note says that he afterwards died in
Flanders). He subsequently married Catherine Talbot, second daughter of John,
loth Earl of Shrewsbury, in 1655, but she died ten months later, July 6, 1656, at
Padua (R. Lascelles, Voyage of Lady Catherine Whetenhall, B. M., Add. MS.
4217).

The Memoirs of the Count de Grammont make occasional mention of Mrs.
Whetenhall, in describing the intrigues by which that unscrupulous gallant wooed
and eventually won the hand of " la belle Hamilton " (CEuvres du Comte [Antoinc]
Hamilton, 1812, pp. 319, 320, 329, 330, 372, 373). It is clear that the scandal-
loving Frenchman embellished pretty freely his narrative of the little adventures in
which he was engaged. As far as Mrs. Whetenhall, however, is concerned, no
scandals are recounted. She is beautiful, but devoid of all passion, while her
husband, who is mockingly portrayed as a dry as dust bookworm, wearies her, and so
she is not averse to going to court, in charge of Miss Hamilton, where the engage
ment (which did not turn out a happy one) was eventually made.

manner. Then we went to see the Trianon, a neat Majestique house
of Pleasure in the Park, which is stately furnished & has fine guardens,
& an orangerie and Mall.

Friday 14 Jan. We went to y° Ecuries which have the mine of
Palaces. Saw the Menage & Pages ride. Then took coach at y° Bureau,
& went to Marli (about a League \ distant) where we saw a most
Majestick Square house with a round hall cal'd ye Salle du Soleil, to
which there are 4 dores that come into it (oppositely) from all the
Quarters — Richly meublee, & has 7 fine buildings, all squares on each
side, Ranging downe ye Garden and adorn'd with Incomparable Walks
descending, Fountaines, Rocks &c. From thence we went to the
Watermachine which is a prodigious Work, and brings up Water from
the River 600 foot perpendicular, to ye Top of a Water house built on
ye hill, about 100 foot high, from whence is an aqueduct upon vast
arches, which carryes the Water by Pipes &c. to Versailles. There are
about 17 or 18 wheeles in the River Seine which turne by the Water
& move so many Pumps about \ of a mile distant. The Tuyaus
are vast cast iron, & joynd with scrues of Iron, & stopt at yc Joynings
with cordage & mastick very firme. Thence we came home to Paris
by ye Pecq — ; arrived about 7.

Sat. 15. We visited Mr Jo. Caryl* at yc Scotch College; Mr
Whitford abroad, and Mrs Eyre afterward & Mrs Pulcheria Eyre
(dead since) f & M™ CobbeJ &c. Then visited Mr Hitchcok, Mr
Serjeant,§ Mr Ja. Eyres, Mrs Kath. Caryl at ye Vrselines, and were
invited to dine on Sunday at y° Augustine Nuns.

Sund. 1 6. We din'd neatly with Mrs Ell. Eyre at y° Austin Nuns,
and afterward visited ye R. M. Tilsly, Lady Browne. Then went to see
Sir Dan: Arthur, who invited us next day to dinner. Went to see Mr
Ployden || at ye g* Jesuits. Sent a compliment to M1'8 Wheatenhall &c.,

* Mr. John Caryll, afterwards known as Lord Caryll, of Lady Holt, Sussex, was
secretary to Mary of Modena, James, and the Chevalier. He was at this time a con
stant visitor to the Scotch College, in which he was eventually buried. It may,
however, be that Marwood would have described him as " Mr. Caryl," without any
addition, and if so, this John would have been one of his nephews, who was under
the tutorship of Thomas Innes, President of the College. — Max de Trenqualeon,
West Grinstead et les Caryll (1893), ii. pp. 1-156. I am not able to identify the
Mrs. Catherine Caryll at the Ursulines, mentioned January 15, but as we have heard,
the family sent a large number of its daughters to convents, more than are marked as
nuns in the family tree.

f Mistress Pulcheria Dorothy Eyre was born at Hassop in 1631, professed in
1647, Superioress from 1678 to 1694, and died in 1701 (Cedoz, pp. 143-155). No
Elizabeth Eyre — indeed no other Eyre — appears in the list of nuns of this convent
(ibid., pp. 459-464). So the inference is that she was a visitor or a boarder.

J This would seem to have been Dorothea Austin Cobbe, professed 1665, died
1732 (Cedoz, p. 461). She and Elizabeth above mentioned were the two elder
daughters of Colonel William Cobbe, the husband of the Baronet's Aunt Elizabeth.
Two more daughters, Anne and Mary, are also said to have taken the veil. — H.Jones,
Sandringham Past and Present, p. 88.

§ This may well have been the celebrated, though sometimes erratic, controver
sialist John Sargeant, who is said to have been living in Paris about this time. —
Gillow, v., 492.

!| We shall find many references to Father Plowden later on, and generally
relating to matters of finance. This enables us to identify this Father Ployden as
Francis Plowden (alias Perot and Simeon), S.J., who was at this time residing in
Paris, as procurator for the English Jesuits. lie belonged to the Plowdens of Plowden
Hall. — Foley, Records, vii. 603.

and then went to a neat supper given us by Mr Ja. Eyres at yc ,

where is a chamber cal'd the Princes' Chamber, upon yu horrid
occasion of a man being kild there by yc Princes of ye blood — &c. We
saw this day ye Place Royall, where Lewis ye 13 is on Horseback. 'Tis
a noble square, & a Piazza under Regular buildings on each side.

Mond. 1 7 Jan. We dined with Sr D. Arthur, and afterward went to
ye Gaubelaines a work house of Tapistry, where we saw noble works, and
the manners of making haut lice and bas lice (or a la mosaic). There
were pieces of about 4 Ells square worth 1000 Crownes. Rare stone
statues & Inlay work (called a raport). We were visited by Mrs
Wheatenhall, Md Throgmorton &c.

Tuesd. 1 8. We were at ye cloathing of 2 Lay Sisters at ye Austines,
& afterwards handsomely treated at dinner by Mr Lutton (with Mr Ja.
Eyres) and then I carryed my Trunks to ye Bureau for I^a Flesche.

Wedn. 19. We took coach for La Flesche, 52 Leagues from Paris,
at 8 morn., accompanied by R. P. de Pre & P. Contancine,* who was
going for China with Mr de Fontenay. We dined at Palesseau, 4
Leagues from Paris, a poor village, & supped at Bonelle 4 Leagues
farther.

Thurs. 20. We din'd at Guet de Lauret, 6 Leagues, where ye
Dutchesse de la Ferte & her daughter ye Marquise de Mirepoix (a pro
digious fat woman) came into our chamber to speake with P. Contancine.
We came to Chartres that night, a neat wal'd Towne, the Church cele
brated for Beauty, 4 Leagues from Guet de Lauret, <.\: there we lay.

Frid. 21. \Ve dined at Heliers, 6 Leagues from Chartres; a poor
village. We sup'd this night at Les Autels, 5 Leagues, & came in late,
at 9 at night, an ordinary village.

Saturd. 22. We din'd at Pont de Veni, a low village, at that time
much overflowed with Water ; & came in at 3 o'clock, the wheel being
mended by the way. And there we stay'd till 9 night, because ye next
stage was very bad way ; &: we stayd for ye Benefit of ye Moon, &: to
make our horses in good heart, for we had a League in a Rapid Water
& dreadful way beside, before we came to Conary, 4 Leagues off.

Sonday 23. We came about 3 in the morning to Conary, when
I put ye Esq. to bed, & lay downe onely myself. We heard P.
Contancine's Masse in ye Paris[h] church about 7, & then took a good
breakfast, intending only a collation at Mans, a neat Citty 5 Leagues
off. And at night we came to Gevelaer about 4 Leagues off, but
excellent way — cV there we lay.

Monday 24. We came ^ to La Flesche by 10 o'clock in ye
morning — bad way mostly, & din'd together at ye 4 Vents, where I
took up my lodging till ye Saturday Following.

§ 7. — THE FIRST YEAR AT SCHOOL

The four years which Henry Arundel Bedingfeld spent at La Fleche
were certainly a great educational success. It will be worth while, there-

# Pere Cyr Contancin reached China in 1701, and became superior of the French
Jesuit mission there. Between 1725 and 1730 he was forced by persecution to retire
to Canton, whence he returned to France to report on the state of the mission, but
died on his return journey in 1733. — Sommervogcl, Bibliothcque de la C. de Jtsus,
ii. 1386.

1701] MARWOOD'S DIARY 93

fore, to notice from the first what we are told about the factors of that
success.

First there was the noble college founded and regally endowed by
Henri IV., one of the greatest and most popular kings of France. His heart
was buried in the college chapel, in which those great sermons were preached
of which we frequently hear mention, and which must evidently have been
very impressive. The college is still used by the French Government as a
training school for officers. See Additional Note, p. 157.

Then there were the beautiful surroundings, with great freedom for
games and outdoor sports. Football, tennis, shooting, riding, walking,
swimming, are all mentioned.

The theatre was also carefully employed as a means of education ;
tragedies, moral plays, declamation, enigmas (June 12), affiches, &c., were
frequent : comedy was not neglected, and besides these the usual carnival
masquerades (February 8).

The discipline was not at all of a cast-iron character which made lapses
physically impossible, and we shall find an unfortunate example of an
English lad, Mr. Braithwaite, who after various "pranks," including a row
with the watchmen, card-playing till late at night, and other boyish extrava
gances, had to be bundled off home.

An excellent feature was the quasi-home life of the extern pupils
(there were also " pensionairs") under their respective "gouverneurs." No
influence could have been better than that of Marwood's good sense and
good heart. From all that we hear, the inference is that Mr. Farley, the
Abbe Murphy, and the other tutors, to whom Marwood so often alludes, were
men of the same cl.iss as himself.

Our Esquire was eleven and three-quarters when he was put into the
cinquteme, and had the good fortune of coming under the influence of a
remarkable man as his " schoolmaster." This was Louis Joseph de la
Ferte". For some reasons unknown to us, this eloquent preacher had been
in "disgrace" (June 5, 1701), probably for being too outspoken in de
nouncing some of the distinguished sinners of the day. But whatever his
indiscretion or error, the mistake was a happy one, in so far as it brought
young Henry for some eight months under the influence of a very eloquent
man, " a most excellent orator," and this probably gave him a taste and
skill for literature which was certainly remarkable, as the event showed.

In three weeks from his arrival, he was "competing for a premium"
(February 21), and at the end of the school-year he entered for the " General
Premium" (August 17). After twelve months he was "first Imperator,"
that is, the head of his class (January 28, 1702). His future successes will
be mentioned later. I also postpone till next year some notes on the English
boys who were with him at La Fleche, but their names, aliases, and re
spective "gouverneurs" should be carefully noted. Attention should also
be directed to the various riding tours through the country which were
undertaken by the pupils.

Afternoon I delivered a letter of Mr Lutton's to Mr Farly, Ld
W[aldegrave]'s * Governor, a most obliging Gent, & afterward went to
ye Colledge to visit.

Tuesd. 25 Jan. I was visited by Mr Farget & went to Lord Walde-

* James Waldegrave, Baron Waldegrave of Chewton, Somerset, was the son of
Sir Henry Waldegrave of Staining Hall, Norfolk, and Chenton, Somerset, who had
married Henrietta Fitzjames, illegitimate child of James II. and Arabella
Churchill, and had been created baron in 1685-6. He followed the Stuarts to St.
Germains, but soon died, and his son James succeeded to the title in 1689 at the age
of four. In 1714 he married Mary, second daughter of Sir John Webb of Hatherop,
and in 1715 he registered his estates as a Catholic (J. O. Payne, English Catholic
Nonjurors of /7/j", pp. 64, 88, 230). But after the death of his wife in childbirth,

grave's, who invited us to dinner & supper. We also saw Mr Hcscott,*
who introduced us to J. de la Ferte,f who received us most kindly.

Wed. 26 Jan. P. Contancine tooke his leave of us (recommending
me to Pere Hirvieu & de la More). We saw all ye College which is
beautifull & stately, built by Hen. 4, whose Heart with his Queen,
Mary de Medicis is there, & therefore called y° Royall College. I
writ this day to Sr Henry, Mr Lutton, Mr Paston, Mrs Frances.
Dined at home.

Thurs. 27. I dined at Ld Walgrave's Lodging, with Mrs Smith,
her son,! Mr Witherington.§ And that day walkt at y° Garden of
Madm de Lavarine, & met Mr Skelton || there. Afternoon went to
see Pensions &c.

Friday 28. We din'd & supt there, and visited the Towne and the

1719, Lord Waldegrave gave up his religion, and on the I2th of February 1722,
having pronounced the Oath of Supremacy, he took his place in Parliament, became
Earl, English Ambassador in France, K.G., &c., &c., and died in 1741. According
to Dr. George Oliver, Lord Waldegrave expressed upon his deathbed, if not re
pentance, at least remorse for his apostasy (Gibson, Lydiate Hall, pp. 277, 317-321).
His will, naturally, says nothing of this, but betrays deep bitterness of mind at the
conduct of his daughter, who had married an actor (J. O. Payne, Records of English
Catholics of 1 715, p. 17).

* Thomas Hesketh, priest of the English Province, S.J., was at La Fleche as
tutor to certain pupils in 1701 and 1704 (Foley, vii. 357). But Marwood does not
tell us who his pupils were, but as he is often in company with the Herberts, who
here went by the name Grey, we may assume that they were under his charge.

f Louis Joseph de la Ferte, S.J., a distinguished preacher, perhaps a relation of
the Duchesse de la Ferte mentioned January 20. A sermon of his preached on
Corpus Christi day, 1716, before the King, gave rise to a good deal of controversy,
on which see C. de Sommervogel, Bibliothcque de la C. de Jc'sus, iii. 702.

J There is nothing to tell us whether Smith is here an assumed or a real name.
Later on the second name, Stafford, is given (March 31).

§ It is impossible, until the Christian name of this boy is found, to make sure
which branch of the Widdrington family he belongs to. There does not, however,
seem to be any actual obstacle to identifying him with Charles Widdringlon,
second brother of the fourth Lord Widdrington. Charles was arrested for joining the
rebellion of 171$, but afterwards pardoned. He is said to have died at St. Omers
in 1756. (Information supplied by Major F. Skeet, and History of the Families of
Skcet, Somerscales, Widdrington, &"c., by a Connection of the Same, 1906, p. 109.)

|| Mr. Skelton seems to be the same as the Colonel Skelton below and the Bevil
Skelton mentioned in D. N. />., Iii. 326 ii.

We came to Lud that night 4 leagues East, & lay at Notre Dame, Mr
Bellcrit's, & bespoke a Periwig of Mr Fouchier there. There is a neat
Chateau belonging to the Duke de Rochloire, who is now about 42
years old, & has never been in it since he was 8 years old. Yet it is
a neat, regular & strong building, well furnisht & a noble wald Park,
& good Stables, a very deep ditch Wald without, and a brave home
Work (just against the River which runs below it) now made a neat
Garden with balustres round it.

Monday 4. We past thro Chateau which is 3 leagues farther, and
din'd at Sovigne, a small village belonging to Madame de Valiere, as
does the noble wood of Beaujour nere it, & the Chateau of the same
name, now given to her daughter who is married to the Prince de
Conti. And that night arrived at Tours, 10 leagues from Lude, where
we lay at the Galaire royale.

Tuesd. 5. We went about the Towne (Mrs Smith leaving us nere
o ith morne). Saw the noble Mall the length of the Towne, above \ a
league long, just under the Town Walls, South next the Towne, in a
strait line. Then we saw their Silk Manufacture, the famous Clock of
Tours in the Cathedrall of Sk Gassien. We went up the Towre of it,
300 steps high, and saw all the beautifull situation of the Towne, and
fine houses round about. The Scite is extream pleasant, the Towne
strait, on the South side of the La Loyre where is an Hand, built from
the bridge, which is longer than London bridge. And on the south of
ye Towne, about J a league off runs the Charre, a pretty River which
often overflows the valley. And therefore there are abundance of
noble stone arch bridges of g* length built over it, till it fals into ye
Loyre, a little below the West end of the Town, and makes the Terri

Chaumont nere Blois, on the East, and the Benedictine Monastery of
Marmotier, the finest in Europe, on ye North side of the Loyre. The
Cathedrall is a fine old building, and the Quire venerable, the altar
closely surrounded with brasse Work. There is about 16 Parishes in

Sond. 8. It rayn'd againe. We were in yc Evening after a walk at
ye Lyon D'or.

* This Master Napier afterwards (i8th June) appears with the second name (and
presumably the true name) Neville, and this double name enables us to make a
shrewd guess at his identification. It was not uncommon for Catholics to take their
mother's name as an alias. It would probably protect them against most informers,
but would be intelligible to friends and relatives. Now, Henry Nevill of Holt, co.
Leicester, married Margaret Napier of Holywell, Oxon., and they had two sons.
George, the elder of these, was afterwards a lunatic ; the second was Thomas
(C.fi.S., i. 137). The boy here mentioned may have been the second son (on whom
see Payne, p. 72), or even the elder, if he was then of sane mind.

f This Preston appears afterwards with the second name, presumably the true
name, Molineux (June 3, 1702). But without his Christian name it seems difficult
to fix his identity among the many young Catholics of that family. Perhaps it was
William, son of Richard, the fifth viscount, who died before his father, in 1706, and
whose mother was a sister of the Lord Brudenell, whom we shall meet on the I3th of
September.

4 leagues from La Flesche. It is a pretty Vill, old Walls & Gates,
i Parish Church (S* Laurens) a neat Hospitall of S1 Joseph for men on

Powis (June I, 1702). They will therefore have been William Herbert, afterwards
third Marquis and fourth Lord Powis. Edward was eventually to marry Henrietta,
a sister of Lord Waldegrave, and their daughter Barbara was to many Henry, seventh
Lord Herbert of Cherbury, for whom the Earldom of Powis would be renewed after
the death of William without issue.

i7°i] MARWOOD'S DIARY 103

Wed. 25 May. We were ready to take horse by 4 in ye Morn (with
Ld Waldgrave, Mr Widdrington, Mr Farely) but it rayned so we stayed
till 5. At Basouche it rayned againe a Shour. Then we past by
Durtail, a neat Village &: pretty Castle, a very neat Churchyard, 3
Leagues from La Flesche. By 9 we got to Souet, 6 Leagues off,
where we stay'd & reposed an hour & |, then past by Vine, a
neat Castle & Park belonging to the Duke of de - - and by 12
arrived at Angers ye Capital of Anjou, a neat Citty on ye South of the
Mayenne, which receives le Loyre about a League from ye Towne.
Built on a hill mostly Rock of Ardois, where is an old Castle still kept
in some repayre, the Ditch the deepest & broadest in France (as said).
There we saw the Iron Cage (or Cachot) where ye Queen of Sicily was
14 years kept prisoner. There are now in the Castle some Prisoners
of State, particularly some of the Women accused of Poysoning. The
Castle is built on a high rock of Ardois. The streets are narrow, &
not very Comodious. There are about 8 Parish Churches, but a great
many Convents. The Mail is neat for walking, near a Mile Long.
There is a Presidial. The Cathedral is of Sfc Maurice, a Noble Struc
ture & high Vaulted Roof, but no Pillars in it. The Dome is of
about 230 steps high, and there is one Bell called ye Great Guilhome,
one of the biggest in France. Berengarius, one of the first Sacramen-
tarians, was Arch Diacre here. And to repayre his Error was Insti
tuted the most solemne Procession in all France upon Corpus Xti day,
when all the Corps of ye Citty go in order with Torches from the
Cathedrall to S* Trinity Churchyard, where the Heretick used to
Preach, & where is erected a Stone Pulpit about 6 steps from ye
Ground, and a Chappel by it to repose ye B. Sacrament, while a
Sermon is there Preached. We lodged at ye Grand Lowis, a good
house.

Thursd. 26. WTe were at 7 at Mass at ye Dominicains, and then
went to a house prepared to see ye Procession which began before 7
with 12 Pageants of History in large Wax Work, but too Romantick
for so August a Solemnity. And after them all the bodys of ye Citty,
the Physicians, Prevosty, the Conseillers in scarlet (about 30). Then
the Religious orders, then ye Clergy, then the Venerable under a
Dais, on the shoulders of 2 Priests, &c. Their going from & re
turning to ye Cathedrall lasted till 2 & \. Then nere 4 in the after
noon began ye high Mass, which we heard in the Gallery over the
Quire by favour, or else ye Crowd was so great ye heat would be In-
suportable. At 5 it was finishd, & then we went up into the Dome.
We dined with Ld Melford his Lady & 2 Sons & 2 Daughters, Mr
Cannon, 2 Mr Littletons, Sir Adam Blayr & his Son, but at ye Cost
of Mr Fagon, an Irish Gent, Dr of ye Laws, who is marryed to a French
Woman & lives there. A most civil, worthy Gent.*

There were about 200 Men at Work, about 16 horses constantly

(D.X.B., xvi. 36).

of no use. This Towne is eminent for the best Leathers in Oyl &
Bucks skins. About half a League to the left hand coming home, we

Masterson's, and as Mar wood too writes to him in same cover as to Nurse, we
gather that he lived at or near Oxburgh.

§ 8. — THE SECOND YEAR AT LA FLECHE
1702

At the beginning of the second year of the Esquire's course at school it
may be well to form some idea of the company amid which he lived. It has
already been seen that the number of English boys was very considerable,
more than twenty in all, besides those who, though only travellers, would in
passing have contributed something to the formation of young Henry's
mind.

The most constant companion was James, Lord Waldegrave. The
families of both belonged to the county of Norfolk.* His great-grand
mother, Anne Paston, was sister of the Esquire's grandmother Margaret.
Until the last generation the balance of social prestige had stood even
between them. But the Waldegrave heir had married an illegitimate off
spring of royalty, and had therefore been " ennobled." Still he remained
true to the Stuarts after their fall, and his son James, the present Lord, who
had lost his father when he was but four, seems to have been a good fellow,
though rather too fond of amusement. We hear a good deal of his prowess
in sport, and once he kills a wolf (2Oth November 1702) ; but, of course,
Marwood was charmed when the Esquire, though some five years his
junior, "wiped his eye" when out shooting (8th November 1701).

We cannot but remember the terrible apostasy of his later years, but there
is no sign of anything of the sort in the period under our notice. He goes to
Mass with the Esquire (8th January 1702), and brings him home a relic as a
present (nth September 1702), while Mr. Nelson stands "parrain" to his
brother Henry when the latter was confirmed at Mans (nth April 1702).
Mr. Farely, his gouverneur (called "Dr." 4th May 1701),, was a priest (25th
August 1702), and Marwood praised him as "a most obliging gent."

The first English boy to leave school after the arrival of the Esquire was
one Smith. His mother was living in the town to look after him, and,
woman-like, she once endeavours, but in vain, to make her way into " the
PP. side" of the College, i.e. the Fathers' quarters. Colonel Skelton
accompanied them. This youth left school to enter, as it seems, into the
French navy under the name Stafford (27th January to 3ist March 1701). It
may not be impossible to identify him, but the use of aliases, and the almost
entire absence of Christian names, makes this so difficult that I have had to
abandon the investigation, both in this and in many similar cases. Occa
sionally one can make an identification through the practice of using the
mother's name as an alias, as in the case of Thomas Nevill of Holt
(28th April 1701). But the prudent editor must resign himself, under these
circumstances, to making many confessions of doubt.

An interesting but puzzling pair of brothers are Thomas and Jos. (pre
viously called Isaac) Donne, uere Gage. There are a considerable number

# Marwood wrote to Sir Henry and to Edward Bedingfeld on Lord W.'s affairs
(8th January 1702) at his tutor's request; perhaps about money matters. See also
the Waldegrave Pedigree in Foley, v. 383.

1702] MARWOOD'S DIARY 117

of data for their identification (3rd March 1701), and they may be Thomas
and William, the sixth and seventh Baronets Gage of Firle, but only on
condition that both our baronetages and our Marwood are more fallible
than one quite likes to believe. Yet there seem to have been only two other
Catholic families of Gage, who could have afforded so expensive an educa
tion, those of Hengrave and Harleston (Payne, Catholic Non-jurors^. 380),
and they had then no children to send (John Gage, history of Hengrave,
1822, p. 240).

Another identification impossible, for the want of a Christian name, is
" the new-come English gent, who calls himself St. George, brother of Lord
Sussex" (i2th September 1702; cf. 6th October, 7th November). Thomas
Lennard, fourteenth Baron Dacre of the South, had two brothers, both of
whom died before him. Which of these two visited La Fleche in 1702, 1703,
does not appear. He seems to have been too old to attend the College
courses.

We are on firm ground in regard to " the two Greys." Here we have
the Christian names, William and Edward, and Powis, the title (ist June
1702). They seem to have been very young, and had a governess, Mile.
Chupot (i4th September 1702), as well as a gouverneur, who, as we see
(26th December 1701), was Father Thomas Hesketh, an English Jesuit.

William Herbert succeeded in 1745 as third Marquess and fourth Earl
of Powis, but died unmarried in 1748. His brother, Lord Edward, in 1734,
married Henrietta, the only daughter of our Lord Waldegrave, and died
soon after. The title was thus extinct. But the earldom was revived in
favour of the husband of Edward's posthumous daughter Barbara — i.e.
Henry Lord Herbert of Cherbury.

Lord Brudenal and his brother James, with their gouverneur, Mr.
Cuffand, came, under the guidance of Francis (at first called Christopher)
Waldegrave, a cousin of Lord James, at the beginning of the long vacation,
I3th September 1701, perhaps to see Preston, vere Molyneux, who may have
been their cousin (28th April 1701), but they were on their travels, and,
though they passed through twice, they did not stay long. This lord
apostatised in later years.

Mr. Widdrington was probably Charles, the second brother of the fourth
Lord Widdrington, but the absence of the Christian name again prevents
our being certain (27th January 1701). The name of his gouverneur is also
omitted (5th May 1701).

Mr. Scrope, under the Abbe Morfin (whose name takes every possible
shape between that and Murphy), may have belonged to the Danby or to
the Cockerington family of that name. In the same way Mr. Hyde, who
came on a week's visit only, with Mr. M%atson as his gouverneur and Mr.
Arundel as his guide (22nd to 29th December 1701), might be Francis
or John, the descendants of Lord Cottingion, the well-known minister of
Charles I.

The mutability of principle among the Lyttletons of Frankley, Worcester
(26th May and 2nd July 1701), affords an instructive contrast to the stead
fastness of the family we are studying. Sir Charles, the father of the boys
whom Marwood met, had played a very distinguished part in the Civil Wars,
and at the Revolution held resolutely aloof from King William. But his
son Thomas, who may have been at La Fleche with the Esquire in 1702,
and who succeeded in 1716, took the oaths, entered Parliament, and became
a statesman of some importance. His son George played a part still less
worthy of his grandfather, and still more successful from a worldly point of
view. He began by throwing up all belief, became a violent opponent of
Walpole, and an extravagant partisan of the then Prince of Wales, through
whose favour, when on the throne, he became Chancellor of the Exchequer
and Baron Lyttleton. By that time he had become a somewhat fanatical
Low Churchman, and in this mood we shall meet with him again.

n8 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

Browne (called Farmer Browne, loth October 1702, and afterwards
Farmer [? Fermor]) and Simons, who were there under tutors called Dod,
Webbe, and Bourgeois, as well as Cotton, Atland (otherwise Horsey), Bolser
or Butler, Galloway, and Hales, have so far eluded identification. So has
Braithwaite, whose career, however, is worth following, as he seems to have
been the only instance we meet of a boy who was educationally a failure.
He gets into scrapes on every possible occasion, and has eventually to leave
under a cloud.

Two older youths, Ingram and Fermor, seem to have been following
courses of Philosophy. Note should be paid to the various tutors. On the
I7th of April 1701 a supper was given at the College to Marwood, Morfin,
Farely, Paien, Webb. Later on a dinner was given to "PP." Lynch,
Kirwin, Browne, Hescott (i7th March 1702). These seem to be the English
priests about the College. But Browne is nowhere distinctly called a priest.

Marwood and the Esquire seem to have met, not unfrequently, with dis
tinguished Frenchmen of all sorts.

They were only twice thrown in with pronounced Jacobites, and that was
during their sojourn in May 1701 and October 1702 at Angers, where Lord
Melford was living ; it is said in exile from St. Germains. With him were
his second wife and some of his many children ; also some Jacobite friends,
Sir Adam Blair and his son, two sons of Sir Charles Lyttleton, Mr. Canon,
Mr. Constable, and Mr. Wauchope.

Upon the whole, though we cannot identify half the boys with certainty,
we can see that they represented all those grades of social life amid which
a boy of good family should be educated.

Another topic deserving of attention is furnished by the long and short
tours, generally made on horseback, by little groups of boys with their
tutors. The first of these was directed to Angers, for the Fete Dieu, which
was kept there, with special solemnity, as an act of reparation for the heresy
preached there by Berengarius (24111 to 28th May 1701). There was a short
ride to Sable (7th July 1701), to Lud (i;th August), but Sir Henry Beding-
feld would not allow his son to join Lord Waldegrave in the long tour
from 2oth September to i6th October (see Sep. 2 and note). On the i8th
of October, the last day of the vacation, there was an expedition to
Malicorne.

Next year, 1702, expeditions were made on a larger scale. During
the Easter holidays the Waldegraves and Bedingfelds rode to Mont St.
Michel in Normandy, a trip of some fourteen days. At Whitsuntide a
shorter trip to Saumur, Chinon, Richelieu (3rd to loth June). In the
autumn a visit to a French nobleman, Mons. de la Borde, at La Grifferie
(i5th to 25th September), and another ride to Angers (loth to i$th
October). Cf. p. 159.

§ 9. — THE THIRD YEAR
1703

The key to the comprehension of the third year at La Fleche is the
academic triumph won at the close of the school year, which is recorded
with such keen satisfaction by Marwood on the 2oth of August. The road
to this success had been carefully laid before. On the 5th of January " Mr.
Nelson " had been first imperator in the third class ; on the yth of February
he took the first premium for Latin Verse ; on the 8th of June he had pro
nounced a Latin poem with credit ; in July he got successfully through the
prodigiously long hours for composition ; and on the 23rd and 27th of
August he had recited some extraordinarily long lessons by heart without a
fault or missing a word (sec also p. 159).

Marwood had never relaxed in his care over the health and studies of his
charge. He will not let him go to parties that may keep him up late, and
nurses him through his ailments with unremitting vigilance. When the
boy, suffering from overwork, walks in his sleep, or thinks he hears voices,
Marwood dissembles in order to calm his mind (. . . & 3ist July). We notice
also signs of adolescence in " Mr. Nelson." He will not always keep at
home after his ailments, as Marwood wishes, but insists on going to school.
On one occasion he "takes" Marwood's watch, and promises recompense
when he shall come into his property ! The cautious tutor marks this
with an extra sign in the margin. The boy of fourteen (as we shall soon
see) was to come into the property much sooner than either of them
dreamed.

Of other events alluded to, the most important of course was the progress
of the war. There was indeed " talk of peace" in January, and a Te Dcum
for the capture of Kehl in April, but the ill effects of war also were being
acutely felt. There were uproars among the soldiers in February, and so
much insecurity that Marwood dares not send for money, even a compara
tively short distance, and " the Prohibition began to take effect." Still, there

1703] MARWOOD'S DIARY 141

were plenty of fine shows. Regiments were forming, and a woman is dis
covered enlisted as a man ; and there were reviews and march-pasts. The
distress has not become acute yet.

Of domestic events the most important was the departure of Lord
Waldegrave (22nd March) and the death of Dame Margaret Paston, Lady
Bedingfeld (the i6th February). There are not so many tours as last year,
but the shorter expeditions and the games are if anything more frequent.

Marwood's miscellaneous gleanings are as usual quaint and inter
esting. Thus we hear of a pretentious mountebank in June, of a great
storm (27th January), after which Marwood gets up a subscription in aid of
the sufferers. On the 3Oth of June a pious lady begs for an odd, but not
undeserving charity ; and there are also some mysteries — " L. Pet. affaire,*^
14 January," and on the loth of February " ye affaire of Mr. Harn."

Mon. Jan. i, 1703. Mr Nelson's cold was almost gone. We were

On inside of Cover of the Diary.
Measured Mr Nelson & he was —

June 13, 1700 — 4 Foot 5 Inches.
Nov. 8, 1700 — 4 Foot 8 & -}.
March 19, 1701 — 4 Foot 10 Inch \.
March 13, 1703 — 5 Foot \ Inch.
Jan. 2, 1704 — 5 Foot 2 Inches & I.
March 2, 1705 — 5 Foot 6 inches.

With the 24th September 1703 the MS. ends, and it is clear that the
journal was continued in some other manuscript now lost. The title of the
prize received for Latin verse on the first of September 1704 shows that
"Mr. Nelson" was still at La Fleche at that date, and was then in the
second class, and the entries of the height of the Esquire plainly suggest
that the journal was continued for at least eighteen months longer, till 1705.
If so, the probability is that he stayed on at La Fleche till the end of his
school course, though he succeeded, on the death of his father, to the
baronetcy on I4th September 1704.

The inscription on the prize book, reproduced in facsimile, is interesting
for several reasons. It is one of a series of five still at Oxburgh.

Specially noteworthy is the trace of paper pasted round the edge. This
is really the fly-leaf of the volume, which has been pasted down round the
edge, so as to conceal the inscription on the inside of the cover. This was
presumably done in order to conceal its nature while it was passing the
English custom-house. For it must always be remembered that Catholic
education, however excellent, was an offence against the then laws of
England, punishable with overwhelming penalties.

Medical Details in Marwood's Diary. — It will have been noticed that
Marwood was extremely fond of medical details. He takes a professional
interest in seeing a man trepanned, sometimes prescribes for others not
under his care, and occasionally debates the doctor's decisions or even

158 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

carries out his own plans against the physician's orders. In his almost
maternal care for his charge he has noted every ailment, every remedy, every
effect of those remedies. The consequence is that he has sometimes gone
into details, especially in regard to aperient medicines, which it would not
have been fair to print, as he wrote them, mixed up with other details of
school, family, and piety. He would himself have been disgusted with such
a proposal. They should either be neglected altogether, or printed
separately. I have therefore without hesitation omitted them from the
text, and I am further of opinion that they are not worth printing
separately, though with text now in print, it will be easy to trace from
the MS. the results of the various drugs, the administration of which is
regularly noted.

NOTE

ON THE COLLEGE AND THE ENVIRONS OF LA FLECHE

The identification of the persons and places mentioned by Marwood in
this part of his journal has proved, in the absence of an antiquarian friend on
the spot, to be a task of considerable difficulty. A certain amount of informa
tion, however, has come to hand, some of it since the journal was in type.

The town of La Fleche itself has had a long and important history.
Its great lords played important parts in the wars of mediaeval times, and
many are the records, chronicles, and histories which have preserved their
memories. For us the most notable will be Henry II. and Richard Coeur-
de-Lion, the Seventh and Eighth Seigneurs de La Fleche, who were also
Kings of England.

Henry II.'s rule there is not without its interest for our subject. It was
he who founded the Priory of La Melinais, which Marwood so frequently
mentions, though he nowhere alludes to the object for which it was
originally built. Legend has it that the king was hunting there, after the
murder of St. Thomas Beckett, and fell in with a hermit, named Regnault,
who spoke to his Majesty with such good effect, that Henry promised to
establish a house of Augustinian Canons on the spot to atone for his crime.
Whatever may be the truth of the story, the fact of the foundation by Henry
is not doubtful (Pesche, Dictionnaire de la Sarthe, iv. 73).

The Reformed Canons, whom Marwood knew there, were styled
" Genovefains," and this explains his calling the place "a priory of St.
Genevefe." The main part of the income of the house, which had dwindled
during the wars of religion, had long since been assigned to the royal
college at La Fleche (cf. pp. 113, 115, 116, 120, 152, &c).

Coming to the history of the College, it is interesting to note the reason
of Henri IV. for selecting La Fleche as the site of his foundation. He had
been its twenty-first " Seigneur," and it was only a chance that he was not
born in the town, as his parents had lived there after their marriage until a
month or so before his birth. The ancestral chateau was incorporated
in the College buildings, and, as has been said, his heart was buried there by
his special orders, as was that of his queen (p. 94). At the time of the
Revolution the treasures, which he and his successors had lavished on this
great institution, were scattered, and the heart of the great king was publicly
burnt by Representant Thirion in 1793.* ^ut the horror of that act did not
pass quite unpunished. The rising in La Venclde which ensued, rescued La
Fleche for a short moment from Republican violence. But with the defeat
at Le Mans soon afterwards, the Vendean cause was lost, and La Fleche fell
again into the hands of the Revolutionists. It was some time before the

* The cinders, however, were gathered up, and restored to the College in 1814.

LA FLECHE 159

College was reorganised, but by the year 1808 it was again a military college,
having been devoted to that purpose after the suppression of the Jesuits in
France in 1 762 (A. Lepelletier de la Sarthe, Histoire complete dc la Province
du Maine, 1861).

Another memory interesting to English people may be mentioned here.
David Hume about the year 1732 retired to France for change of air and
the opportunity of study, and was recommended, it is said by Jean-Jacques
Rousseau, to go to La Fleche, whither in fact he did betake himself about
the year 1735. He lived there, at a spot called Yvandeau, and daily visited
the Library of the Jesuit College (p. 152) to study, and it is said that he was
fond of disputing with the Padres. However this may have been, the result
was hardly what they would have desired, for he returned to England in
1737, and there published his very sceptical Treatise on Human Nature
(Charles de Montzey, Histoire de La Fleche et de ses Seigneurs, 1877,
ii. 155).

The last-quoted author agrees with all others, whom I have seen, in
saying that, at the time of Marwood's residence, the College was in the
happy condition of having no history. Everything was working regularly.*
There do not appear to have been any remarkable geniuses either among the
scholars or among their teachers ; though the standard both of scholarship
and discipline was high.

The scholars had at one time numbered as many as 1000 externs, as
well as 300 pensionnaires. The number of the latter kept up, but as schools
were opened in neighbouring towns the day-scholars fell off, until at the end
of the Jesuit regime in 1762 they numbered only 250 (Montzey, p. 150).

Of the College discipline and education by far the best account is that
given by Pere Camille de Rochemonteix \Le College Henri IV. de La
Fleche, 4 vols., 1889). But few points can be touched upon here. The
first volume gives the history of the foundation in 1608, and does not
touch our period. An illustration, however, is given of a " Mausoleum,"
erected in honour of Henri IV., such as Marwood saw on the feast of "the
Uedicace," the fourth of June, 1701 (p. 104). There are also valuable plans
and elevations of the College buildings. We find, moreover, various
familiar place-names — Luche, le Mdlinais, Bellebranche, Suet — where the
P.P.J., as Marwood calls them, had farms or vineyards, or a house of
retreat, of which some account is given. In the second volume the more
interesting features for us are an account of the discipline kept over the
externs (pp. 79-103), and the Ordonnances de Police of 1625 (p. 91), which
regulate a number of points — lodgings, drink, wearing arms, selling books
and clothes, &c. &c. The various municipal officials of whom Marwood
speaks, had their share in maintaining order in the streets and suburbs. At
the end of this volume come the minute school accounts of M. d'Ourville
from 1755 to 1762, the annual cost being nearly 3000 livres. It is curious
to find at the commencement a table registering the boy's growth, drafted
just as Marwood has drawn up his.

The third volume treats of the studies of Latin and French, and
describes the elaborate system of examinations and prizes. Almost every
scholastic term and exercises mentioned by Marwood — the premium,
ascendat, Sabatine, theses, defensions, &c. — may be illustrated by the ex
planations offered here (pp. 1-131). Latin and French plays are also
discussed, and the growing frequency of the latter is shown to be a
matter of some importance. French had lately begun to oust Latin from
its old pride of place as the only language of culture. But the Jesuits had

* The only lapse of discipline, which one notices in Marwood's pages, is but
a small one, the passing in of notes to the Jesuit masters through the hands of
Master Henry (25th January and 5th March 1703), in one case from a Jesuit. Of
course they ought to have gone in through the post. One sees incidentally how
well the English lx>y was trusted.

160 SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD, THE SECOND BARONET

been a little behindhand in the new movement, and were now making an
effort to get into line with their competitors. The importance attached
to French may perhaps explain why Mr. Nelson was not taught Greek,
though Marwood would have preferred him to have been. In the Appendix
to this volume (pp. 271-275) the argument is given in full of the tragedy
Sigismond, at which Marwood assisted on the 2Qth of August 1701, though
with his usual laxity of spelling he calls it Sigerie. Of the " Interact" Le
Poetc, an analysis is given, as well as the full cast of Dramatis Personas
and actors for both performances. We also learn (p. 220) that the composer
of the play Filius Prodigus, acted in August 1703, was Pere du Cerceau (on
whose plays see Sommervogel, ii. pp. 967-981).

The fourth volume describes the theological studies, the distributions
of prizes, vacations and voyages. Such journeys as our party made from
time to time were also made by other boys of their own rank, and in the
Appendix (pp. 414, &c.) an original account is printed, written by one of
the pensionnaires, Mons. de Herbais de la Hamayde, who travelled on the
2oth of April and the ist of September 1699, to Richelieu and Bretagne
respectively. In his company there were three other pensionnaires, and they
went under the guidance of a Jesuit, Pere Dechamp, who was on the first
occasion accompanied by Pere Delmas, on the second by Pere Delfosse of
Tournaye. His story is written with great spirit, and shows that they all
enjoyed themselves thoroughly. They did not take exactly the same routes
that our party did, though the two stories illustrate each other admirably.

I may add that Father de Rochemonteix, in spite of all his care in
collecting, does not seem to have found any single record which gives so
complete an account of life at La Fleche as is contained in Marwood's
Journal.

Of the Frenchmen of note with whom our party fell in, I have, as the
reader has seen, been able to identify but few. With localities I have been
but little more fortunate. This is partly due to Marwood's random spelling.*
He no doubt generally heard the names spoken, and put them down
later on. Thus we find the Abbey of Solesme appears as " Sairnclaism"
(p. 106), "Soulhem" (p. 135), and "Sulhem" (p. 149). Other spots he
mentions are top small to recognise now, like Le Tripot, which was, I
presume, some inn or pleasure-garden. Some place where the Esquire
shot his first hare, will have been retired woods, or fields, like Cruzon,
whose names are not set down on the maps accessible to me. Never
theless, by the aid of the Carte topographique de la France, issued by the
Ministere de la Guerre in 1832, sheets 92 and 103, at a scale which more or
less corresponds with our one mile to an inch, the majority of the place
names have been identified, and may be seen on the sketch-map which
is here added. Besides Pesche, Dictionnaire de la Sarthe, already quoted,
much concise and useful information will be found in Francois R. F. Marchant
de Burbure, Essais Historiques sur la Ville et le College de la Fleche, Angers,
1803 ; Alme Lepelletier, Histoire complete de la province du Maine, Paris,
1861. P. E. Baron du Casse, Le Pantheon Fttchois, Pont-a-Mousson, 1883,
treats mainly of the later Military Academy. Jules Clere, Histoire de
Pe'cole de la Fleche, La Fleche, 1853. All these volumes are in the British
Museum.

* The Marquis Eguilles has kindly pointed out to me, since the preceding pages
were printed off, that I have mistaken the name of the drug "Orvietan" or Venice
treacle. Marwood doubtless wrote Oruientan, which would be indistinguishable in
his hand from Orinetan, and would often look like Orientan. The drug is named
from Contugi of Orvieto, its inventor.

I. JACOBITISM

No personal memoirs of this baronet have reached us except the record of
his brilliant school course kept by Manvood. In the British Museum,
however, a considerable number of his letters have happily survived.

The first two letters are more curious than important. On the i8th of
June 1735, he writes to Lord Strafford to say that, " If this sort of snuff
pleases your Lordship, I should be very proud of your Lordship's
Commands to enquire for more of it." The next, dated at Oxburgh,
8th August 1735, announces that he " has now received one pound of
Portugal snuff, which he has ordered to be left at his Lordship's house."

These letters are found among the Additional Manuscripts, vol. 22,221,
ff. 158, 160. They indicate, I believe, that the Bedingfelds were interested
in the merchant ventures abroad.*

Thus on the I7th of February 1753-4 he wrote to the Duke of Newcastle
commending "John Dashwood younger brother of Mr. Dashwood of Eley
in Norfolk, who has lost his chief protector Mr. Matthews, late Governor of
St. Christopher's." Sir Henry begs that he may be commended to the new
Governor. In a postscript he adds that he is "glad to hear that Lord Gage
has paid his duty to your Grace. Better (for him) late than never" (Add.
MSS. 32,73 1, f. 193).

In connection with the subject of merchandise, three letters from Edward
Bedingfeld to Lord Strafford may be mentioned in the same collection (vol.
31,136, ff. 17, 19, 105), dated at The Hague, 3-13 December 1711. Lord
Strafford was then entering the Congress to debate on terms of peace, and
Edward Bedingfeld asks him to insist on the restoration of the plunder
taken by the Dutch in Barbadoes from a sloop which belonged to British
subjects.

The correspondence to be given next affords us some valuable evidence as
to the comparatively slight hold that Jacobitism had on the Bedingfeld family,
which, we may be sure, was in this fairly representative of other English
Catholics. On the one hand, it is impossible to doubt their sympathy with
the family, which had lost the throne, not indeed without some fault on their
side, but mainly because of their adherence to the Catholic religion. In
Mar-wood's Diary we have seen the respectful way in which the Stuarts are
alluded to at various times, without however any trace of enthusiasm in their
cause. There were also two Bedingfeld matches with Jacobite families (pp.
235, 236). At Oxburgh, moreover, there are still preserved several interest
ing Stuart relics ; some pictures, and some extremely beautiful and interest
ing Jacobite glasses, perhaps the most valuable examples of their kind that
now exist. (They are figured and described in the Connoisseur for May 1908.)

In 1715 Sir Henry was called upon to register all his property, under the
cruel penal laws, i George I. 50 and 55. By previous enactments (23 Eliz.
c. i) a Catholic was to forfeit ^20 a lunar month for stopping away from the
Protestant Church, and this Act was sharpened by the law of 29 Elizabeth,
which enabled the crown to seize two-thirds of the recusants' lands in lieu of
the monthly fine, while by the law of 11, 12 William, c. 4, every Catholic

* See also below, p. 201, nn. 34, 68.
VII, L

162 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDIXGFELD

\vas disabled from purchasing any lands in this kingdom, and this explicitly,
in order " to prevent the growth of Popery." Then by the 5oth chapter of
I George I., a commission was appointed "to inquire of the Estates
of certain Traitors and Popish Recusants, and of the Estates given to
superstitious uses, in order to raise money out of them," and by the 55th
chapter of the same year, all Catholics had to register all their estates, under
the severest penalties, in order that the commissioners aforesaid might
prey on them with greater facility.

It must have been with a heavy heart that Sir Henry handed over to
these harpies the accounts and title-deeds of his estates, but there was of
course no escape. The Oxburgh estates were registered as worth ,£1551,
is. i\d. per annum, while the manor of Bedingfield in Suffolk, whence the
family takes its name, was declared to bring in £21, i8j. 1 1|</. (J. O. Payne,
English Catholic Nonjurors of 1715 (1886), pp. 194, 258). Under the
Commonwealth, it may be remembered the rental was declared to be
^1638 (above, p. 3).

In the beginning of 1744 ^ became known that Prince Charles Edward
was starting from Rome, and the English Government, with its usual
bigotry, issued a Proclamation on the 24th of February " for putting the
laws in execution against Papists and Non-Jurors" (a copy in the British
Museum, 21. h. 4. 207).

Whatever hopes sanguine exiles abroad may have entertained of possible
assistance from the English Catholics at home, I can find no indication
that they counted on the Bedingfelds in particular, or on the Catholics of
East Anglia in general. More certain still is it, that the Catholics at home,
with tangible proofs of the overwhelming power of England ever before their
eyes, and in daily contact with its tepidity or aversion in regard to the
Stuarts, did not share the illusions to which the exiles were, as they always
are, liable.

The following letters show us Sir Henry's position among conflicting
claims on his loyalty, and in circumstances full of peril and annoyance.
Protestations and professions would have been out of place. He therefore
quotes facts only, and draws such conclusions as would be appreciated by
such a correspondent as the powerful statesman Thomas Pelham, first
Duke of Newcastle.

Original, British Museum, Additional 32,702, f. 115. It will be noticed that there
is no address, and that Sir Henry always uses the words " your Lordship," never
" your Grace." It may therefore be that, though among letters sent to the Duke,
it was not originally addressed to him, but to some friend who forwarded it
to him.

MY LORD, — By the papers this day I find there is a Proclamation

some reasons to think yr Lordship can justly answer for my Past be
haviour, I hope yr Lordship will have no difficulty to speake to those
in power that I may have a protection from Government. I have
taken particular care not onely to give no disgust to, but as farr as in
me did lay, to promote its interest. Sr William Gage,* before he took
the oaths, had on the like occasion a protection from the Government

>fc Sir William Gage may perhaps have been a schoolfellow of Sir Henry's at La
Fleche (aboi't, p. 1 17). He "took the oaths " of Supremacy, and abjuration of the
Pretender, after which he was elected to Parliament in 1722, and sat for Seaford
until his death in 1744 (J. Kirk, Biographies of English Catholics, 1908, p. 94).

The next letter shows that the desired "protection" was probably
never granted. By October 19, 1745, Charles Edward had landed in
Scotland and won the battle of Preston. The road to England lay open
before him, though his diminutive army had not yet crossed the frontier —
indeed it was not yet certain that the attempt would be made. But
anxiety and consternation were everywhere on the increase, and the first
impulse of the Protestant extremists was as usual to harry their Catholic
fellow-citizens. Sir Henry now appealed to the great lawyer, Philip Yorke
Lord Hardwicke, the Lord Chancellor and member of the Council of Re
gency, while the king was away righting on the Continent for his native
Hanover. Lord Hardwicke had already made the acquaintance of Sir
Henry over "the Mcriton Case" (see above, p. 15), and in his manuscript
notes on Chancery Cases from 1741 to 1742 will be found a long summary
of the pleadings (far too complicated to be summarised here), which are
dated 14 December 1741 (British Museum, Additional 36,051, p. 128).

Po. Ho., Oct" 23, 1745.

SIR, — I received the honour of your letter with much concern to
find that, in this time of public Disturbance, any trouble was likely to
fall personally upon you. I had allways a very good opinion of your
peaceable & dutiful Disposition towards His Majesty & his Govern
ment ; and in this I am confirmed by the reports which I have con
stantly heard of your Conduct from all the Lords & Gentlemen of the
County of Norfolk, with whom I am acquainted, on this account.

I should have been very glad if the law had put any thing in my
power to prevent your receiving any uncourteous Disturbance ; but all
I could do at present was to speak to your Lord Lieutenant & my
Lord Lecester, who I find are in the same way of thinking with my
self, & will omit nothing that may depend upon them to show their
Friendship to you.

As from your known Character I persuade my Self that the Suspi
cion on wch this Preceding is founded is without any real foundation,
so I hope the Justices of ye peace will receive entire satisfaction upon
y* head; & you may be assured that on my part nothing shall be
wanting to shew my attention to your [safejty, and to testify the per

I am with your Respect &c.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD TO LORD HARDWICKE

MY LORD, — I return yr Lordship many thanks for ye honor of yr

In the month of November 1745 the house of the Jesuit Provincial
Father Sheldon, in Wyld Street, was betrayed to the Government by a spy,
and the whole of his correspondence was seized, and an analysis was made
of it " by Thomas Waite, then Law Clerk," and a copy of these notes, made
by John Douglas, is now in Dr. Birch's volume, British Museum, Sloane
4234 (fif. 49-61). There is in all these notes no reference to the political
questions of the hour. William Sheldon of Gray's Inn* was told by
Douglas (the future Bishop of Salisbury, of whom more presently), that he
had himself received the papers for examination, "and found no treason
nor anything approaching thereto, but complaints of misconduct and irre
gularities in some juvenile missionaries." There is, however, one entry
under "Foreign Correspondence" in Dr. Birch's copy, which interests us.
We read at p. 58, "Two of Sir H. Bedingfelds boys go under the name of
Clay at Blandyke," i.e. at St. Omers.

II. SrR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD'S CORRESPONDENCE
ABOUT ARCHIBALD BOWER

Though as a Catholic Sir Henry Arundell Bedingfeld was precluded by
the penal laws from taking his part in political life, an occasion arose in his
old age on which he was able to come forward and to do his co-religionists
a very substantial service. This was in connection with the detection of
Archibald Bower, the apostate Jesuit and Historian of the Popes. Though
many English Catholics had ere this gained noteworthy controversial
victories over various Protestant assailants of their Church, no Catholic
before had overwhelmed his opponent by boldly defying him, as Sir Henry
did, to bring a libel action in the civil courts. Another noteworthy feature
was the tact with which Sir Henry managed to enlist on his side the services
of some of the most eminent literati then in the Anglican Communion.

The Protestant public was still too hostile by far to listen to any exposure
of Bower's roguery from a Catholic. He had in fact already been answered
by Dr. Alban Butler, the most skilful English Catholic writer,' then living,
but no one would read the book. Sir Henry was able to ibeat the enemy
clean out of the field by supplementing his challenge to a libel action with
powerful pamphlets, written by men to whom the public were ready to listen,
in particular by John Douglas, afterwards Bishop of ^Salisbury, and Dr.
Thomas Birch, F.S.A. and Secretary of the Royal Society, a distinguished
writer and collector of manuscripts, who bequeathed his library to the
British Museum, and with it all his private correspondence upon the con
troversy. Before we come to this it will be well to premise a certain number
of facts about Bower's past history.

Archibald Bower was born at Dundee on or about the 1 7th of January
1686, and "on the i6th of October, 1702, was received" into Scots College,
Douay, and then "became a Jesuit at Rome in 1706" (Scots Colleges,

* J. Kirk, Biographies of English Catholics, 1909, p. 207.

i66 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

Kegisfers (New Spalding Club), eel. W. Forbes Leith, S.J., 1906, p. 66). In
Rome he passed through his studies with considerable credit, and became in
time a professor of Scholastic Philosophy at Macerata in the year 1625.
Here he was appointed confessor to a certain convent of nuns, and in time
contracted a friendship with a certain sister, Suor Francesca Eleonora
Buonacorsi, and a serious scandal ensued. Bower was withdrawn from the
town by his superiors at the first sign of things being amiss, and when an
inquiry was called for by the ecclesiastical authorities, Bower fled, first back
to the Scots College at Douay, then to England, where he arrived in July 1726.

By this flight Bower of course gave away entirely his chance of a favour
able verdict on his conduct. On the other hand, he succeeded in keeping
off a judicial inquiry, and I cannot even find what the specific accusation
against him was. I gather that the fault was rather attributed to weakness
than to hardened malice, for the most persistent efforts were made by his
former Jesuit confreres, during the years 1729 to 1734, to induce him to come
back. If he would have submitted to an adequate penance, and to being
sent to a country where his past was unknown, he would have been given
a new start. They cannot therefore have believed him to be an absolute
reprobate.

Of course they may have been mistaken. Dr. Birch (below, p. 174), a good
judge, took an opposite view. He gives it as his opinion that Bower
became at once an unprincipled hypocrite, whose professions varied purely
and simply with the interests, or the imagined interests, of the hour ; that
he was in fact as infamous after his first fall as he was after his second. For
my own part I think that Dr. Birch, a Protestant, may have underestimated
the sincerity of Bower's passing fits of remorse, and desire to undo the past.
Having regard to the whole story, and to certain pieces of evidence (esp.
Mrs. Hoyles's Deposition, and the Jesuit Letters of 1729-1734) which Birch
did not know of when he wrote, I think Bower was for a long time rather a
waverer, who found himself uneasy in the anti-Catholic camp, than a renegade
with a conscience confirmed in evil. This degree of dishonesty, it seems to
me, will suffice to explain the actions, not all of them evil, which we have
now to record.

He obtained his living partly by writing (below, p. 170), partly by teaching,
and he was also befriended by some families of importance — v.g. those of
Lord Baltimore * and Sir George Lyttelton (both which had lately lapsed
from Catholicism), and the Aylmers of Balrath, who were zealous Irish
Protestants. The second Lord Aylmer is said to have satisfied himself
about Bower's reliability by inquiries, which he himself made in Italy, and
he then employed him as tutor to his sons.

Bower's chief protector, however, was Sir George Lyttelton, whom we
have alluded to before (p. 117). His grandfather, Sir Charles Lyttelton of
Frankley, Worcester, had been consistently a distinguished Cavalier and a
firm Jacobite. His sons (or some of them) were Catholics, who had been at
school with Sir Henry at La Fleche. But Thomas, the youngest son and
heir, took the Oath of Supremacy and entered Parliament, while his son
George advanced yet further in the same course. He adopted infidelity
d la mode, and devoted himself to promoting the intrigues of the Prince of
Wales, who, as he rose to power, rewarded his favourite with such powerful
protection that he obtained the highest offices of the State. He became in
this very year Chancellor of the Exchequer, and was created a Baron.
Though not a literary genius, he was a diligent writer, and having now
forsworn the atheism of his youth, was engaged in patriotic and religious
writings of a Low Church tendency (pp. 170, 186). He figures constantly in
this correspondence as "The Grand Patron" (pp. 183, 185).

Jfc If, as is likely, he was tutor to Henry Calvert, sixth and last Lord Baltimore of
Longford, the pupil's chequered career (he was at once a litterateur and a libertine)
reflects no credit on the master.

THE DETECTION OF ARCHIBALD BOWER 167

To return to Archibald Bower, according to his own account he was "for
the space, I think, of six years, of no particular denomination. At last I
conformed to Anglicanism" (Answer fo a scurrilous Pamphlet, p. 30). He
did not during these years display any violent antagonism to the Catholic
Church, though he told romantic, and inconsistent, stories of his escape
from the Jesuits and the Inquisition, who were, he said, persecuting him
because he had refused to carry out certain cruelties which he had been
ordered to execute.

On the other hand, he did not quite lose touch with his whilom religious
brethren. In the Registers of the Letters of the Jesuit General to England
from 1729 to 1734, there are numerous letters which show that year after
year an endeavour was made to bring him to a better state of mind.
Then there came a long break, and at last in 1744 things seemed to be
taking a real turn for the better. He became acquainted with the charming
leather Philip Carteret, and great progress was made towards his complete
rehabilitation.* He was absolved, sometimes said mass, and more signifi
cant still, handed over to the Jesuit Provincial all his money (for being
under a solemn vow of poverty he could not with a good conscience keep
it), and received back from them an annual pension on which he was to
live, until such time as arrangements could be made for his going abroad,
and being received back into the Order. Meanwhile, he was to occupy him
self in writing, and books on Church History were lent him for this purpose
by the Jesuits.

Unfortunately he did not entirely break with his old Protestant acquaint
ances, and especially with a certain mysterious " woman," who pressed
him for money, though it never transpired who this "unknown " was.t

Under these circumstances he wrote six letters to Father Sheldon the
Provincial, petitioning for ^500 from his capital, in order to give it to the
woman. Finally he alleged that, if he did not receive the ,£500 at once,
he must, however reluctantly, obtain it from Protestants. His request was
refused, and he immediately began to publish his History of the Popes, a
book full of cavil, abuse, and literary bad faith, but which proved a complete
financial success. He had the honour of presenting a volume of it to the
King on May the I2th, 1748, received a court pension, and went through the
form of marriage with a Mrs. Conor, a well-to-do widow, the grand-daughter
of an Anglican Bishop (below, p. 183). Worst of all, he perverted some of
his cousins, and caused a relative to be prosecuted by the Scottish Court of
Session for allowing a nephew to be sent to the Scots College at Douay
(Bower's Affidavit, p. 13 ; European Magazine, 1794, xxvi. 32).

Much as Catholics might resent his violence and hypocrisy, they were
quite unable either to protect themselves or to unmask the traitor. Dr.
Alban Butler exposed in 1754 the plagiarisms and literary bad faith in
Bower's first two volumes. But the result seemed rather to increase than
to diminish the fame of the apostate. Upon the whole, in the then state of
public opinion, to keep silence seemed the only prudent course.

But the six letters to Father Sheldon came about the year 1750 into the
hands of Sir Henry Bcdingfeld ; and certainly, ;'/ they lucre proved
genuine, the reputation of Bower was ruined. On the other hand, what

* Father Carteret was chaplain to Sir Henry at Oxburgh from 1742 (and perhaps
earlier) till 1746.

t In the long controversy which followed many of Bower's past peccadilloes were
detected and denounced, and the curious reader may he referred to Douglas's Com
plete Confutation, p. 47, for a detailed statement of all that is alleged to have been
proved against him. I do not myself think that Douglas's statement is quite con
vincing, though Bower's own avowals leave no doubt as to his grave want of principle.
However this may be, Douglas confesses that he cannot be sure who " the unknown "
was, and thinks that Bower, by the continuous use of small exaggerations about her,
has outlined a personality which did not exist as described.

168 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

chance was there of a bigoted public believing their authenticity, which
Bower would be sure to deny, and which it would not be easy to prove
in a popular way, especially as no priest could give evidence against him,
or would dare to make the endeavour. However, an abstract of the letters
had better be given at once. They are signed with initials only.

1. DEAR SIR, — On this, the last day of my retreat, I have received a
letter from Father Carteret in the name of Father General Retz, to ask
me what province I like best [in order to go through the trials appointed
as conditions for being received back into the Society], but I am leaving
the choice entirely to him. " I must also ask you to make over to me
part of the sum that is owing to you, which (I find) you cannot easily
recover. I should immediately transfer it to the woman, who would
in a very short time find means to recover it, and allow me my so
much wished-for liberty. This would make me completely happy."

A D B R. [No date, but presumably written in June 1746, and

addressed in another hand to Father Sheldon, who was then the Jesuit
Provincial^

The disadvantage about this note, when considered as evidence against
Bower, is that it needed too much subsidiary evidence. Unless one could
produce the woman in question, or prove who she was, an ordinary jury
would be likely to regard the whole letter with suspicion. She can hardly
have been Bower's future wife, as her first husband was living at the time
the letter was written. In short, it was not then possible to determine who
"the woman" was. Whoever the unknown may have been, she, so far as
the letter tells us, has been asking him for money, and he has been asking
Father Sheldon to give him back part of the capital which he had given
over for his annuity. He will then pay her off, and be entirely happy and
free to live a priestly life. But there had been no clause in Bower's settle
ment fora possible return of the capital, and so no arrangements had been
made for it. It is therefore only as a favour that Bower can request repay
ment, and only with difficulty that Father Sheldon can make it, a difficulty
which, even for Bower's sake, he was in no hurry to overcome.

The second letter, which is briefer, shows that Father Sheldon has an
swered in the above sense.

2. DEAR SIR, — Since you are in a position to help me, but will not do

so, I shall be obliged to apply to Father Retz. A D B R. [A'<?

date, but endorsed as answered, 17 July 1746.]

The third letter shows that Father Sheldon has answered this with
greater strictness, pointing out that if Bower wished to be received back into
the Society he must not use a threatening tone towards his Superior.

3. DEAR SIR, — I have received your admonition with gratitude, and
will abide by it. But "the woman and child are returned on to my
hands," and whether I like it or not, I am forced to visit her, or to give
back the money. A DB R. Dated 14, July.

The fourth and fifth letters show us the man still entangled in the com
plication, and getting less and less able to resist.

4. DEAR SIR, — I still hope to be freed, as soon as you can do what
I ask of you. A D B — — R. Richmond, 24 October, 1746.

5. DEAR SIR, — If you would only have lent me the conveyance, it
would have done to show to the party I wrote about. Now " I am
beginning to despair." The person who owes you the money will not

repay you, I fear, unless forced. A D B R. London, 14 March,

1747-

The last two letters give us Bower's way of saying that he intended to
break with Father Sheldon and the Jesuits altogether, unlcss-the money was

THE DETECTION OF ARCHIBALD BOWER 169

given him. The seventh letter was in fact found later on, but it will be
simpler to print it at once in its proper place.

6. DEAR SIR, — I have been unable to hold out any longer, and I have
gone back, and accepted the post which my [Protestant] friend has
offered me. But "as for the place, it will be a fortnight before the
patent is made out," * and during this time I may still free myself, if you
will aid me. A D B R.

7. DEAR SIR, — "I have taken a desperate step." Yet it is not alto
gether too late. Though I have renewed my word to the woman, I

might still fly, if you would aid me, " Ecce ego, mitte we" A D

B R, 27 March.

The difficulty, as already explained, now before Sir Henry, was, how far
would a British jury, or the highly prejudiced British public opinion of those
days, accept these letters, if the woman could not be found? Sir Henry
left the management of the case chiefly with Dr. Birch and Mr. Douglas.
The former corresponded with Sir Henry, and received from him the letters
printed below, and all evidence against Bower, that could be found amongst
Catholics. Birch then passed on the information to Douglas, who wrote a
series of vigorous and effective pamphlets, which eventually crushed Bower
in the eyes of all thinking men, though a certain number of fanatics, espe
cially Sir George Lyttelton, would never give him up. Before we give this
correspondence, which will tell us about the course of the controversy, it may
be well to print an able letter from Dr. Birch, which gives us its subject with
great clearness. It is addressed to Mr. John Davidson of Edinburgh, the

DR. BIRCH TO MR. JOHN DAVIDSON

Sloane 4234, f. 92. Draft, with corrections. Davidson's letter, to which this is an
answer, is now fol. 99 of the same volume. The sectional headings are editorial
additions.

LONDON, i.Jtt/tc 1756.

DEAR SIR, — I owe you my sincere thanks for mentioning to me in
your letter of the 2nd of last March, received on the 2oth, Mrs.
Bower's Reflections on me in her Defence of her Husband, and I owe
this justice to myself to give you the grounds of my conviction, that he
wrote the Letters to Father Sheldon, Provincial of the Jesuits in
England, now in Sir Henry Bedingfeld's hands.

§ i. The Letters were shown to many persons before 1755

That gentleman having been possessed of these letters for five or

six years past, showed them to Mr. Garrick amongst others, as long ago

as before the late Earl of Burlington's death, which was in December

J753) an<3 the sight and contents of them struck Mr. Garrick so much

that he immediately mentioned them to Sir George Lyttleton, who

chose to make no farther inquiry about them, as he had upon all former

occasions refused to give the least attention to any Representations,

which tended to acquaint him with the true character of Mr. Bower.

About March or April 1755 Mr. Hooke,f the Author of the

* No satisfactory explanation of " the patent " has yet been offered. I take it to
signify obscurely the prospectus of his History of the Popes. He means that he has
it printed, but will keep it back for a fortnight. This was what he actually did.
When it was published, it committed him to the Protestant side.

1741-

170 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

History, mentioned the letters at the table of the Earl of
Bath,* and told Mr. Douglas,f his Lordship's chaplain, whose curiosity
was excited by the account of them, that Sir Henry Bedingfeld would
readily shew them to him, which would have been done, if Mr. Douglas
had not been soon after carried by his Lordship to Bath. There the
letters became the subject of conversation, and 'Dr. Moss, Rector of
St. James's, Westminster, assures me that he had spoken of them in
July last to the late Mr. Gilbert West,J who said that he would im
mediately acquaint Mr. Bower that such letters were produced as his.
But neither Mr. Bower nor his Friends took any steps to bring into
the public Light an affair, which 'no innocent man could have suffered
to continue in obscurity.

§ 2. The Letters are shown to Douglas, Birch, and the
Dean of Exeter

Sir H. Bedingfeld, after a long absence from London on account of
an Indisposition, returning thither in the latter end of January last,
and Mr. Hooke mentioning again to him Mr. Douglas's Desire to see
the Letters, Sir Henry immediately consented to it, and accordingly
Mr. Douglas saw them on Saturday morning the 3ist of that month.

Meeting him that very day, I, who happened never to have heard of
the Letters before, had from him a particular account of them, and
having long known Mr. Bower's handwriting, received an Invitation on
the Wednesday following from Sir H. B., by Mr. Douglas to see them ;
which I did on Saturday, Febr. yth, in company with Mr. Douglas
and Mr. Andrew Millar, § the Bookseller, who carried his Receit Book
full of Mr. Bovver's Receits for large sums of Money on account of the
Universal History ; || and none of us had the least Doubt, upon the
comparison of hands, that the Letters were Mr. Bower's.

Sir H. Bedingfeld being very importunate with me to desire Sir
Geo. Lyttleton and his Brother the Dean of Exeter U to come to his
Lodgings and see the Letters, I delivered his Message to the Dean the
next Day ; and on the Day following, Monday, Febru. Qth, the Dean
went to Sir H. Bedingfeld's and was much confounded at the perusal
of them. But Sir Geo. Lyttleton [who, as the Dean foretold, would
not give up his best Friend, a title which the Dean condescended to
honour Mr. Bower with], when he was shewn the Letters the next
Day, appeared unmoved with the Resemblance, which he could not but
own, of the handwriting to that of Mr. Bower, declaring that such
Similitude of hands was no Evidence, and urging only the Im
probabilities of Mr. B.'s writing such Letters.

§ 3. The Letters are publicly discussed

From that time the Letters became one of the great Topics of
Discourse in town [Mr. Bower's Friends and the Friends of Sir G. L.
adopted or zealously maintained the Hypothesis of their being forged].*
Bower thus supported, publicly advertised (as he safely might) a Reward
for discovering the Author of this Forgery. On the other Hand every
person acquainted with his handwriting saw the Letters to be genuine ;
and some of the greatest Men in the Nation, to whom they were shewn,
declared that they had not the least appearance of being forged.

§ 4. The Letters and their number

The Letters are in number six, not five only, as Mr. Bower told the
World in his advertisement. They were all written between the middle
of 1746 and the latter End of March 174 5 ; and turn intirely upon
getting back the Money which he had paid to the Jesuits for an
Annuity of 7^ per cent, for his Life. This extraordinary Transaction
had been kept a profound Secret from his Friends, till he was surprised
into a confession of it, upon the Letters beginning to be publicly
talked of in London. His Excuse at first was, that he had lent his
Money without knowing that it was to Jesuits. But he went farther in
his confession afterwards, acknowledging that he knew (what he could
not but know) that they were Jesuits, endeavoured to satisfy his lending
money to them, by pretending that other Protestants had done the
same. But his Case was extremely different from that of all other
persons ; for he has for near thirty years past represented himself as in
continual Danger of his Life from that Society, which he had abandoned :
and therefore it must have been mere madness to have trusted his whole
Fortune with a Body of men, who would have a new Inducement to
put an End to his Life, being thus tempted to it by Interest, as well as
before urged to it by Resentment. So that his lending his money to
them for an annuity is a sufficient Confutation of all the tragical
Stories, which he has amused many honest believing Protestants with,
of the Attempts of the Jesuits against his person.

§ 5. Further evidence about the annuity

The fact of lending the money stands thus in the Books of the late
Father Hill,f procurator of the Jesuits.

1741, Aug. 31. Mr. Bower paid to Father Charles
Shirburne,! Provincial of the Jesuits for an Annuity
°f jCl Per cent, for his Life ..... ^1,100
174.1, Febr. 27. He paid more on the same terms . 150

H= This phrase is marked in MS., perhaps for omission.

t Father John Hill, a Montgomeryshire man, died in London in April or May
1751, aged 68 (Foley, vii. 361). The account-hooks here mentioned are still pre
served, and Father Joseph Blackett has kindly shown me the identical entries here
referred to.

| Father Charles Shireburne belonged to the Shireburnes of Stonyhurst. He had
been Provincial from September 1740 till 17 November 1744, and died 17 January
1745. His successor was Father Henry Sheldon, fourth son of Ralph Sheldon of
Weston, Worcester, and he held office till October 17?!. Father Philip Carteret
then succeeded, and had died in the month of March before Dr. Birch's letter was
written.

172 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

1 743, Aug. 6. He paid more on the same terms to

commence on the syth of that month . . . ,£100
The whole money paid was . . 1,350

Aug. 27, the three distinct annuities were reduced into one of
^94. 10 to be paid half-yearly, for which he had a Bond.

1747, June 20, he was paid ^1152, los. id., after a Deduction
made, in Full of the principal of his Bond, which he delivered to Mr.
Hill.

I have seen nine of his Receits of his Annuity, several of them
mentioning his receiving it of Mr. Shirburne, who died 5 Jan " 174*,
and of his successor Mr. Sheldon, by the hands of Mr. Hill. The last
is dated 24 March 174", the day before the Date of his Proposals
or preface to the Lives of the Popes.

If it should be alleged that these Receits are forged as well as the
Letters, another Evidence is produced above all suspicion of that kind ;
the Books of Mr. Wright, the Popish Banker,* containing Entries of
the payment of Father Hill's Draughts to Mr. Bower and one of these
Draughts.

§ 6. Forgery out of the question

But though a name, and perhaps a Note or Receit, may be so
imitated as to pass for genuine, yet the supposition of Forgery, when
applied to six long Letters of a living man, and one whose handwriting
is known to many persons, is extremely absurd ; and the Attempt of
it would be so impracticable as not to be ventured upon by any man,
much less undertaken by a considerable Body of men, who could hope
for no Advantage from the Success equal to the Hazard and even
Certainty of a Detection. And if such a Fraud were possible, it is not
to be conceived but that the Forgery would have been of a kind much
more dangerous to the person aimed at, than merely to expose him as
an Hypocrite and Double-dealer.

§ 7. Thz result of refusing a trial

It would be tedious to enter into a larger Detail of Facts and
Observations on this subject ; and it would be unnecessary, as the
public is likely to be soon informed of the particulars, if Sir H. B.
shall not be able to bring the affair before a Court of Justice, and Mr.
Bower shall continue to decline it, as he has lately done by refusing to
accept Sir H.'s Challenge to him (in an advertisement in five of the
public Papers) to purge himself by Oath, of his having written the
Letters in question. The reason which he has assigned in private to
his Friends for this Refusal is that such an Oath would be hazardous,
unless Sir H. B. will solemnly promise not to produce against him any
popish Priests, since not one of that order would scruple perjury for
the impeaching his character and the service of their Church. This

* Wright's Bank in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, continued till the begin
ning of the nineteenth century, when the business was amalgamated with the Joint
Stock Bank. Mr. Jerningham, the previous manager, then came over to the new
bank, with all the old books. This explains why the Joint Stock has still such a large
Catholic connection. It is very probable that the entries of the payments to Bower
might still, if necessary, be verified from the ancient ledgers, still in 'the bank's
possession. These entries are printed in extenso by Douglas in the pamphlets to be
named below.

THE DETECTION OF ARCHIBALD BOWER 173

Demand of precluding the only Kind of Evidence to be expected in
such a Case, has already lost him some of his most zealous advocates.

§ 8. Seven Objections answered

With regard to Mrs. Bower's Pleas in favour of her Husband, I
shall make some Remarks upon them, in the Order in which they stand
in your Letter.

1. It is not true that Sir Henry Bedingfeld has given contradictory
accounts of the Letters.

2. The Style and Matter of the Letters afford not the least Suspi
cion of their being forged.

3. The pretended anachronism of mentioning Mr. Bower's connec
tion with his now Wife and her Child before that took place, has no
Weight in it. The Letters speak indeed of " a Woman and her Child,"
but without naming her, or pointing her out, or intimating that the
Child was his own by her. They mention likewise that it was her
Money which he had lent in his own Name to the Jesuits, and that till
they should repay it to him, to enable him to satisfy her and her Rela
tions, to whom it would be improper to shew the Bond, which he had
for that Money, he could not be at Liberty to discontinue his former
Visits to her, and to follow his Conscience, and to act in the Mission of
the Jesuits, as he offered to do, even in England, if his Superiors should
have thought him proper for that province. This Pretence of the
Money's being the Woman's and not his own, is unquestionably a
fiction ; since he had at the time of purchasing his Annuity of the
Jesuits received of the Proprietors of the Universal History, for his
share in it, a sum sufficient for that purchase. Mrs. Bower best knows
whether she would be meant by that Woman; but I have so much
Charity for her, as I know nothing of her, and so ill an Opinion of him,
of whom I know too much, as to be inclined now to think that the
whole plea of the Woman and her Child, as well as the Mention in his
last Letter of the advantageous Offer then made him by his friends of a
retreat place, not named nor described by him, were both of them mere
artifices to induce Father Sheldon to return him his Money and to
save him from what he calls impending and litter Ruin, by which that
Father must understand him to mean the Loss of his soul.

No conclusion can therefore be drawn from these two Circum
stances, supposing them ever so false, to prove the Letters forged. For
what is so reasonably to be expected as Lies from the Pen as well as
the Tongue of a known Lyar, a Character not denied even by his Friends?

4. The alleged Discrepancy in some of the writing from that of
Mr. Bower has no foundation ; for the only Difference in the form of
the d inferred by a Friend of Sir G. L. and Mr. B., who saw the Letters
with the former, is confuted by a plain Inspection of those Letters
compared with other acknowledged pieces of Mr. Bower's handwriting ; *
and that Critic of hands had but four Days before unfortunately pro
nounced one of Mr. Bower's own Receits in Mr. And. Millar's Book
not to be his handwriting.

* Douglas afterwards published a facsimile of one of the letters, and of one of
the receipts. If the facsimiles are reliable the identity of the hands cannot be
doubted {Complete and Final Detection, 1758, p. 144).

174 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

5. As for Sir Henry Bedingf eld's refusal to shew Mr. Bower the
Letters, the short answer is that the latter never asked to see the
Originals, and only desired Copies of them, which Sir H.'s council
advised him not to grant, as the affair might be carried into West
minster Hall.

6. The Friendship continued to be shewn Mr. B. by the Family
of Aylmer and by Sir Geo. Lyttelton is of little moment in the Ques
tion. For his Dependance on the late Lord Aylmer might prevent
him from exposing his true Character at the House of a pious Christian
and a zealous Protestant, though he was none the less on his guard,
where he had less Restraints on him. And Sir G. L.'s attachment to
him still is to be considered, not merely * as the Effect of a disin
terested Esteem, but rather of 7.eal for his own Reputation, and a
Reluctance to own himself to have been so long imposed upon by a
low Man, who had so little deserved his regard and confidence, pension
and place : [and to confess that he had] f imposed a sycophant and
flatterer on the World for a good Man ; and (which his manuscript
had procured him) for a great Writer, in spite of so many Incidents
which ought to have undeceived him.

The Improbability of the whole Story of Mr. B.'s Escape from Italy,
and his flatly disowning it in November 1750, by a public Advertise
ment, when it came into print, % and his many Evasions to avoid
publishing himself what he had related to such numbers in private
Conversation, sunk his Credit with many intelligent and impartial
persons, and occasioned a more strict Inquiry into his Character and
Conduct, which proved extremely unfavourable to him. And even
some of his Eriends, who still affect to disbelieve the Letters to be his,
have made some remarkable Concessions against him, that he is apt to
take Liberties with Truth. That he was till within these few years,
since his marriage, abandoned to Lewedness in the lowest Sense of it.
That he was a declared Infidel, where such a Declaration would either
recommend him or not interfere with his Interest. And that his
Conversion to Christianity was of a very late Date [the Date of his
Conversion to Christianity was not much prior to that of his Patron's
Piece on the Conversion of St. Paul ;],§ though during all that time of
Licentiousness and Impiety when he conversed with Christians and
Protestants he pretended to be both. He still maintained, however,
a great Intimacy, and trusted his fortune for several Years with that
Order of men, of whose Designs against his Life he professed to others
to be under constant apprehensions.

7. The Artifices of Popish Priests against Converts are scarce
more known here than the ill Characters of most of those who pretend

* Not merely as the effect — i.e. " not as the mere effect."

t These words must he supplied from the context.

J This was The Faithful Account of Mr. Rowers Motives for having his Office
of Secretary to the Court of Inquisition, by Richard Barren, 1750. Another MS.
version of the same romantic story "from the lihrary of Mr. P'olkard " is found in
Sloane 4234, fol. 62. Another " by Mrs. Cockayne, a young lady of Northumber
land," with supplement " from other friends of Mr. Bower, added by Dr. Law,
Master of Peter House, Cambridge," is ibid., fol. 23. Further variations are re
marked upon below, pp. 181, 189.

§ This phrase marked in MS., perhaps for omission.

THE DETECTION OF ARCHIBALD BOWER 175

to be Converts from Popery, and are too often discovered to have left
their former Religion for reasons not at all honourable to them. And
whatever Resentments the Priests of the Romish Church have against
those who abandon it, the Methods of Fraud or Violence are not to be
ventured upon by them in a Country like ours, where themselves are so
peculiarly obnoxious to the Government and people, and where any
such attempt would have no other Effect than exposing themselves to
public Vengeance. In the present Case the Jesuits and Priests have,
I am well satisfied, had no hand in producing to light Mr. Bower's
Letters, but on the contrary have shewn a remarkable Backwardness
to supply the Evidence in their power against him, from a just Appre
hension of drawing a persecution upon themselves from his powerful
Patrons.

§ 9. Conclusion

Upon the whole I am thoroughly persuaded, both from internal and
external Evidence of the strongest kind, that the Letters are Mr.
Bower's ; and the Conclusion which seems to me to result from them,
is, that he was not in his heart, at the time of writing them, of any
Religion. When he bought his Annuity of the Jesuits, he undoubtedly
thought it most for his Interest to court them, if not to return to their
Order. But in 1746, after the Close of the Rebellion, when his Patron
(who had now quitted the Opposition) had a prospect of being ad
vanced to some considerable post (as he was in 1747 to a Seat at the
Treasury-Board), Mr. Bower shifted his Views and grew impatient to
recover his Money, before he should publicly break with his old
Fraternity by either accepting a place, or taking subscriptions for a
Work highly obnoxious to them.

I hope I need not use many Protestations to any person, who knows
me, that I am incapable of taking up or propagating a Story to the
prejudice of any man, without the fullest Conviction of the Truth of it ;
or intending any Service to the Church of Rome. Her Cause will
indeed receive much more Advantage from 'the Character of such an
Antagonist as Mr. Bower, than that of the Protestants will from his
Work, which I know, upon Examination, to be the Product of Plagiarism
rather than of real Knowledge of the Subject and proper Industry and
Judgement in the Management of it.

I am, with my Compliments to Sir D. Dalrymple,*

THO. BIRCH.

We have already heard that the first active step in the controversy with
Bower was the showing of the letters by Sir Henry to Douglas, and Birch, on
the 3ist of January and the 7th of February. At Sir Henry's instance Dr.
Birch then brought Charles Lyttelton, Dean of Exeter, to see them on the
9th, and Jon the loth they were shown to Sir George, Bower's " Grand
Patron," who having, at Sir Henry's request, asked Bovver whether he
owned them, wrote back next day, February n, that Bower absolutely
denied them, and asked for copies, and said that he would advertise a
reward of ,£100 for whoever would expose the forger. This letter, with

* Sir David Dalrymple, the well-known Scottish judge and writer, was not long
after this time created Lord Hailes.

176 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

correspondence of the next two months, was published in Bower's
Affidavit, p. 3.

Sir Henry answered, I2th February, hoping that Bower would do what
he promised, and trusting that "this little affaire" would not cause ill-
feeling between himself and Sir George (ibid., p. 4).

To this the latter answered rather rudely, that he could not possibly
consider this "a little affaire." It was an "attack foully made," which
would "excite the Indignation of the greater part of mankind, and turn
to the confusion of those who have been the contrivers of this infamous
forgery." On the same day Bower advertised one hundred pounds reward
for a discovery of the forger, and next day, I4th February, wrote to Sir
Henry asking for copies of the letters (ibid., pp. 5-6).

Sir Henry, resenting the rude language of Sir George, and the insinua
tions of Bower, replied at once that he would take counsel's opinion (ibid.,

P- 7)-

This brought down a still more uncourteous letter from Lyttelton,
demanding the letters, and asking in imperious tones " whether you have
told anybody by whom the forged letters were put into your hands ?
Why you concealed them so long, and what induced you to show them
more publicly now?" Sir Henry responded that such questions would be
best answered in Westminster Hall.

This explains the next three letters. Sir Henry believed he " might
be attacked at Common Law" for libel, and is asking the opinion of the
Lord Chancellor, the greatest lawyer of his age. No note of his answer
appears, but it was probably encouraging, and may have contributed a good
deal to the perseverance with which a trial in court was requested by the
baronet.

not mention any thing to his Lordship ; but the contrary hapning at
the Duke of Argyle's, he told his Grace that he had had a letter from
Mr Retzs to that effect, that he either by word of mouth or by letter
had acquainted Mr Bower wth it ; that he could \vth safety take his oath
of it, &: that there was a gentleman, a member of Parliament, who lives

VII. M

178 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

If the Jesuits forged those six letters, I think they will loose the
opinion the generality of Mankind conceives of them of being a
cunning sett of people.

On the 2nd of March, Bower advertised again that he had asked for
copies of the " five " letters, and could not get them$ though he knew they
were "forgeries, to the prejudice of his character." So Sir Henry continued
to expect a summons, but none came. (Bower, Affidavit, p. 8. The original
newspaper, The Public Advertiser, is in Sloane 4234, fol. 153.)

In the second letter, it will be noticed that Mr. Garrick was going to tell Dr.
Birch something about " Dr. Brown," i.e. John Brown, a well-known, clever
but eccentric writer, author of the Essay on Satire, who however eventually
committed suicide (D.AT.B., vii. 17). He, in company with Garrick, had a
long interview with Bower, and on some points they were inclined to favour
him. When therefore on the 8th of April a letter appeared in the Evening
Advertiser over the initials J. B., and strongly in Bower's favour (Affidavit,
p. 8; Sloane 4234, 156: Original), Sir Henry attributed it to Brown, but in
this he was mistaken, as the sequel will show.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD TO DR. BIRCH

13 April, 1756.
B.M., Sloane 4234, n. 66.

Sr, — I wrote yesterday to Mr Douglas, my thoughts about a letter
in Ye Evening Advertiser of ye 8th ins*. I think it is pitty that so
good a pen, should not be employed upon a better subject, at least
should not be more attentif to truth & avoid scurrility.

I mentiond in my letter my thoughts of letting it be advertised,
that upon Mr Bower8 taking his oath in a publick court, according to
his advertisement,* he should have a copye of yr letters, but upon
reflection, I desire that may be entirely layd aside. For, as I am fully
convinced in my owne Conscience that the letters are genuine, I
cannot, neither in conscience nor honor, take any step to entice a man
to be perjured, & I have (God forgive me) a verry indifferent opinion
of him, so farr as to think he would goe any length3 he could wth
safety or secretcy.

As I think the writer reflects pretty much upon yr Clergy, as well as
upon ours, I think it would not be improper to consult those of ye
Reverend Bench who think Mr B. guilty. (Mr Douglas writes me word,
that the Bishops of Norwich & Worster are of that opinion,) what kind
of answer should be return'd. For my part, I would [have] inserted
(by way of Postcript) something to this purpose —

"That the gentleman in whose Custody those letters are, is in ye
" Country but has read the scurrilous letter, & full of falshoods — that
" he despises such a way of proceeding, as he would publickly by name,
" the Author, if he knew him — that he had verry good reasons at first
" to believe the letters were genuine, & has heard of none, to make him
" alter his opinion, therefore is determined to take ye first opportunity,

OXBURGH, NORFOLK (by Stoake bagg), HENRY BEDINGFEI.D.

Aprill \yh 1756.

I must beg of my friends to procure me as many Witnesses to
prove B.s hand writing, as it8 possible. The more we have (I value no
expence) the more weight it will carrye, but I would have none, but
credible and fair ones ; Mr. C[arteret] would have appeared in Court
to support upon oath what he told the U[uke] of A[rgyle], if his Grace
should have required it.

What does the writer [J. B.] mean, by " honble names amongst the
dead as well as amongst the living " that have been slander'd ?

There are here two points of importance : the letter suspected to have
been written by Brown, and giving up the idea of challenging Bovver to
confirm his assertions by his oath.

The first point fell out better than Sir Henry feared. Dr. Birch wrote to
Brown, who answered on the I5th of April from Prior Park, where he was
staying with Warburton, that he had not written the letter in the Evening
Advertiser, and that both he and Garrick, though not yet convinced in the
matter of the Letters, were at a loss to conceive what the security was,
which Bower could have accepted for his pension, and asked Birch if he
could tell them (Original, Sloane 4234, fol. 84). Birch, no doubt, told him
in reply that Bower had accepted the good faith of the very Jesuits who he
now professed to believe had always been intent on taking his life (see
above, p. 171). To Sir Henry, Dr. Birch would have been able to give a
satisfactory answer on this point.

On the second point, the refusal of Sir Henry to challenge Bower's oath,
both Douglas and Birch were disappointed. Both thought (erroneously, as
the event proved) that Bower would have shirked the challenge, and Birch had
heard that Bower was saying, " If they will not believe my denials, neither
will they believe my oath."

Douglas told Birch on the i6th of April that Sir Henry was back in his
lodgings in Piccadilly, and expected "a crowded levee" to inspect the
celebrated letters, and Dr. Birch might bring any one he liked between ten
and twelve o'clock. (Originals, Stcane 4234, ff. 82, 83.)

After this a lull in this curious conflict seems to have occurred from the
1 8th of April to the i8th of May, at the end of which time we find that Sir
Henry had waived his objection to the challenge, and in the Evening
Advertiser for that day a notice from him appeared stating that after Bower's
advertisements he could expect nothing less than an action for slander.

iSo SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

Now, however, as no action was brought, if Bower would take an oath in
court to the truth of his own advertisements, he should receive copies of the
letters. To this Bower answered by another advertisement in the same
paper for the Saturday, May '22, declaring that he would even himself
publish the letters, if he might have the copies. (Originals, Sioanc 4234,
It". 158, 1 60 ; Affidavit, pp. 9, 10.)

Sir Henry was afterwards informed that Bower, in spite of this
answer, was still "determined not to take the oath," until he casually
heard the "opinion of a great lawyer" that there was no danger of a prose
cution for perjury upon a "voluntary" oath. So he had recourse to Sir
George Lyttelton to have a form of oath drawn in the strongest possible
terms (p. 185). This form he carried to Westminster Hall on the last day of
May, and made an "affidavit" to its truth. A copy of this document was
thereupon sent to the baronet, who after looking into its validity sent Bower
the copies of the six letters on the 5th of June.

Bower hereupon published his Affidavit in answer to the false accusa
tions brought against him by the Papists. As the title indicates, Bower
"put the whole affaire upon a point of Religion" (p. 185). It was a trick
of the Jesuits, he said, made in order to sully the fame of the historian
of the Popes, and his pamphlet, as we shall see, proved a considerable
success. He did not himself print the Six Letters, but he promised to do
so, when he had made further inquiries into their origin.

All this convinced Sir Henry and his advisers that they too must take
the public into their confidence, and they were fortunately able at this very
juncture to discover some circumstantial evidence of the highest importance.
On the very day that Bower made his affidavit the baronet sent the following
billet to Dr. Birch (S/oane 4300, n. 223) : —

If Dr Birch can wait upon Sr Henry B. to Wyld Street Tomorrow
evening, between six & seven, Sir Henry will call upon him then,
being vastly desirous that the intended visit should be as soon as
possible. Mr Douglas will accompany Sr H.

Monday. 3 o'clock.

The intended visit was to Mrs. Hoyles, a convert to Catholicism. Strange
as it may seem, she had been moved to this step by conversations with Bower,
who had visited her at Wild Street as early as 1727 or 1728. This kindly
good woman, seeing Bower in a state of doubt and fluctuation, advised him
to read Anglican divines, upon which he spoke so forcibly about the rise of
Protestantism, that she was herself upset. Bower himself pointed out a
priest (one of his old confreres) passing in the street, telling her that he could
solve all her doubts. Finally, about the year 1636, she was received into the
Church. Then with female diplomacy she praised the Anglicans in her
husband's presence before Bower, and induced a controversy between them,
in which her husband was so thoroughly worsted that he too became a
Catholic. It was only after her conversion by the Jesuit whom Bower had
pointed out, that Father Richard Parkinson, for that was his name (see
Foley, vii. 570) told her that Bower himself was a priest. After this Bower
disappeared from her ken for some time, and when he returned, he seemed
sad, and said he had been ill. She asked if she might bring in Father
Carteret, of whose virtues Bower had himself spoken to her in previous
years. Bower consented, Carteret came, and there ensued that period of
conversion, real, half-real, or fictitious, which came to an end, as we have
heard, with the Six Letters.

This story was taken down by Douglas on the day above assigned, and
his MS. is at folio 41 of Dr. Birch's oft-quoted volume, Sloane 4234 (printed
in full, Six Letters, p. 74). After leaving Mrs. Hoyle in Great Wild Street,
they turned into Little Wild Street to take down the evidence of Mr. Home.
He had been surgeon to the Empress of Russia. He used to live with Father

THE DETECTION OF ARCHIBALD BQWER 181

Carteret, and remembered meeting Bower, at Carteret's house, during the
period of his conversion (SloaneMS., ibid. ; Si.r Letters, p. 82). Mr. Gay's
evidence was perhaps obtained separately. He had once been a servant of
the Jesuits, when they lodged "at Mrs. Fleetwood's " in Little Wild Street.
He was very old, and not very clear, but stated that he had actually served
Bower's Mass, at the time of his reconciliation.

The next letter shows us Sir Henry returned to Oxburgh, but still diligent
in collecting information. Douglas is writing his answer to the Affidavit,
but his chaplaincy to Lord Bath causes delays.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD TO DR. BIRCH

17 June 1756.
B.M., Sloane 4234, n. 69.

DEAR SIR, — As I have not heard anything from Mr Douglas, since
I left London, I conclude he has made wth Ld Bath, a little tour in ye
Country.

I recevd last week a letter from an acquaintance of mine, an English
Gentleman now at Dublin, but who will be back here by Michelmas, that
a Reverend Prelate of the Church of Englandj* told him, that he had it

from Mr B s owne mouth, that the Grand Duke of Tuscany being

acquainted wth his family, sent for him into Italy, when he was but five
years old, and bred him up in his dominions. Now this gentleman
that writes this account, can and will attest, that he was at Rome when
Mr B. came first into Italy, & that he might be then about 18 years of
age, & that he could not then speake one word of Italian wch I think
wth his great parts he certainly must have done, had he been twelfe
years, in ye Grand Duke8 dominions. I immediately answered his letter,
and beg'd the favor of him, to gett that fact attested under ye Bishop*
owne hand. If I succeed, I will forewar'd it to you.

The oath Mr. B has publish'd, as by him taken, has done him all
the service, here in yc Country, he could wish & expect, & I suppose
is attended wth the same success in town

SIR, — I have delay'd acknowledging your Favour of the [?i7th]
inst, till I should have an opportunity of communicating it to Mr
Douglas, who has for this fortnight past been much out of town, & told
me on thursday that he is to go this Day with Lord Bath to Chelten
ham for six Weeks.

He intends to make some use of the Information of your Dublyn
Friend, which is a new proof of the falsity & inconsistency of the
Tales, which Mr B. has so long been imposing upon the honest &
credulous.

This Affidavit has turn'd the scale for the present in his favour
among those who are unacquainted with the facts against him, & who
will undoubtedly change their Opinion when they come to see things
represented in their full and proper Light.

* This was the Bishop of Walcrford. See p. 185.

182 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

Mr Andrew Millar the Bookseller is inform'd that Mr B. is in the
press, probably with the six letters and some general remarks on them.*
But I am persuaded that he will be very cautions of entering in par
ticulars in which he might expect to be contradicted, and that he will
not appear in print at all on [that] question, if he were sure that nothing
would be published on the other side.

His letters to Mr Carteret, if they are to be secured, will be a decisive
blow against him. I hope the country air has fully restored your health,
and am Sir &c.

On the 29th of June, Douglas's pamphlet entitled Six Letters from A d

/; r to l<r. Sheldon were published. Dr. Birch's copy of it, with his note of

the date, is in the British Museum, 699, e. I. Sir Henry, as was but natural,
looked first to the weak points. He thinks that by waiting longer they might
have had Bower's promised comments on the Six Letters, but in truth
Remarks on the Six Letters did not appear till January 6, 1757- Sir Henry
also objected to the publication of the statement by the Jesuit Procurator,
Father John Poyntz, at p. 65, as to the payments made by the Jesuits to
Bower. Douglas had spoken of him under so slight a disguise, that other
priests who had evidence to give would be scared.

SIK, — I came hither the beginning of this week to trye the benefitt
of bathing in salt water, but not meeting wth any encouragement, I shall
return to Oxburgh this evening. I received last thursday a pamphlett
printed by one Morgan, but as there was no letter wth it, nor no name
of ye author, I must be at a loss to know from whence it came.

As Mr Bower had advertised this day sennight that he would pub
lish (the) letters wth notes etc. etc. after a Second Swearing, I should
have thought it much more prudent of (ye) publisher, to have staid a
little longer, to have (seen) what inconsistencies the gentleman would
have printed, wch he will now artfully contrive to (avoid).

I am sorry the letter is printed sign'd P /. wth some remarks.

First no such thing ought in my opinion to have been done wthout his
consent : & I fear it will be a totall hindrance to my friends, in ye pro
secution of their endeavours, to procure me the other letters, so long
expected & so long wish'd for, as they find their transactions (& what
they are) are made publick.

I have been promis'd Doctor Law's account (wch he sent you) from
Mr Bower8 owne mouth,| but have yett heard nothing of it.

I am Sr, yr Obed*1 hum. Servant

I should be curious to know, what are the sentiments about this
pamphlett, in a certain house in Ormond Street.^

Mrs. Conor's husband died in 1746. Might not Mr B., who then
lived in ye house many years (have) conceived hopes of marrying

her.* If so, that plainly shews why he wanted ye principall money, for an
annuity & from such a Corner, would not answer the Gentleman5 pur
pose. He married her, Dec. 1749. It is reported that her husband
kept a Madam & who went into deep mourning at his death.

LONDON, lojufy 1756.
B.M., Sloane 4234, fol. 81. Draft.

SIR, — My absence from London prevented my receiving your Letter
of the 3rd instant till the 8th in the Evening & acknowledging it till
this post.

Mr Douglas, who went to Cheltenham with Lord Bath this day
fortnight & is to stay there about 10 Days longer, order'd the Six
Letters, &c., to be sent to you. He was at too great a Distance from
London to direct that the publication of that pamphlet should be
suspended till after that of Bower should appear.

But the Event has shown that the anticipation has had no ill Con
sequence, since B. has made no alteration in his piece, which had been
some days printed off, & only added the postscript, which has convinc'd
the public that he has nothing to oppose to the system of facts urg'd
against him. The other pamphlet [i.e. the Six Letters} of which
almost the [entire impression of 1500 is already sold, has indeed had
great success in proving the charges alleged in regard to him undoubi-
fi(l~\, and some of his former friends have totally abandon'd his Cause.

I am impatient to know the present opinion of his great patron.

I wish the Letter of Mr P[oyntz] had been suppressed, especially if
the printing it should be followed by the Refusal to communicate
[to us] B.s [letters] to Mr Carteret.

I am with the sincerest Wishes for your health

DEAR SIP, — This morning I was favor'd wth yr letter, & am very
glad to hear there has been so great a demand for ye Pamphlet,
if any Reverend Prelate or Divine of ye Church of England would now
openly take yc affaire in hand & print something to wch he would affix
his name, it would entirely drive Bower out of his last entrenchments,
wch is that strong one of religion, & upon wch I dare say he will build
his whole strength in his reply, & I cannot but persuade my self that
out of so many great & emminent persons of yc sacred Caracter, that
are entirely persuaded of ye validity of ye facts alledged against Mr B.,
some one will have Courage enough to sett his name to a work, & wch
would give the famous gentleman his Coup de grace.

There is another letter from ye same person to father Sheldon, not

that the only lady he was intimate with in that year was a certain Mrs. Hamilton.

184 SIR HENTRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

yett in my possession, more pathetick then any we have yett read, &:
attended wth a verry particular Circumstance. A gentleman * writes to
me from abroad, that about ye year 1746 or 1747, Mr Br came to him
& desired him to write to father Sheldon in his behalf, \vch he refused
doing, saying he must write himself. Upon wch Mr Br wrote a letter
in ye gentleman1* owne Chamber before him, & in ye most moveing
terms, wth this remarkable expression out of ye 6th Chap, of ye Prophett
Isa — Ecce ego, mitte me — He gave the gentleman the letter to read, &
desired him to foreward it to Mr Sheldon. I have wrote to y° Gentle
man to beg ye favour of him to confirm this by an affadavit, cS: if there
be any protestant Gentlemen in ye town where he is, to beg ye favor
of them to be present & to attest it alsoe.

I f have wrote excuses to Mr P[oyntz] about ye printed letter, &
about the Subsequent lines, wch in my opinion is ye worst of all as it
describes the person. Who knows what length8 revenge may make
seme great Persons take ? As Mr P[oyntz] is a verry sensible & good
natur'd man, I make no doubt, but he will excuse it, but you knew,
there are others to manege as well as him, 1 will leave nothing un-
turn'd to gett the letters of Mr Br to Mr C[arteret], & also this famous
above mention'd one.

Reading over Mr Bower8 narrative, in wch my letter of y° 4th of
June is printed, According to that I wrote nonsense & looking over y°

Copye, by good luck taken by Counccllor M clarke and attested

by him, I find Mr B. has converted the abreviation I generally make
of ye word " and," in this manner, " &," into ye word "so" & has added
in ye 3d line, after ye word "you," another comma. If you think
proper, I should be glad that an advertisement to ye following effect
(& wch I hope you will draw up, and signe Oxburgh June 12th 1756,
H.B.) be putt in ye Daily Ptiblick Advertiser ; London, and tJie
Whitehall Evening Posts 6- Evening Advertiser.

" Mr Bower is desired to examine Sr H. Bedingfeld8 originall letter
" of ye (4th) of June, wth the printed one in his narrative page 18, for he
" believes there is a mistake of ye printer, by putting in ye 2d line the
" word " so " instead of " cK: " (ye abreviation of and) & alsoe another
" comma added in ye 3(1 line after ye word you — for in the Copye of that

" letter taken & attested by Councellour M , Clark, the word " so "

" is not in ye whole letter, & it is wrote " (§•" as by my advert, &c.,
" ready /or you.

" Sr H. Bedingfeld must alsoe take notice of a strong falsification
" of a word in a R* Honble Gentleman8 letter, to him, & now before him
" in all Mr Bower8 printed (but unrecorded) oath8, £ wch he should
" alsoe have imputed to ye mistake of ye press, had it not been inserted

" livered to him ye 2d of June, by Mr Durance of y' pay office to y'
" Horse Guards — Oxb. June i2th 1756."

What ever the expence comes to, you will please to pay for it, & I
will take care to reimbourse you.

I cannot account for one thing in ye postcript of Mr Bower8 narra-

* Father Nathaniel Elliot (see below, p. 187). He was Socius to the Provincial
at the time the Six Letters were written, and was Rector of the English College,
Rome, in 175^'. For the Ecce En, or Seventh Letter, see abm.-e, p. 169.

tive. It is dated ye 30th of June, & he says, since ye foregoing sheets
were sent to ye press — by \vch every body must conclude that his 2''
oath taken before Mr Fielding & printed in that narrative must have
been sent to ye press, & yett that oath, was taken ye jo"1 of June — ye
same day as ye postcript was printed.

If you knew ye Bishop of Waterford in Ireland, he can certifye to
you, that Mr Bower told him ye story of ye Great Duke of Tuscany
sending for him at 5 years old, on account of being acquainted wth his
family etc. etc.

Mr Bower8 oath & putting yc whole affaire upon a point of Religion,
has carried every thing before him in this Country, I have wrote to
Morgan to send me a dozen Pamphletts down, & I hope to doe some
good by them to open prejudiced persons eyes. One Clergyman is
already entirely satisfied, by reading that wch was sent me, & I hope he
will convince others of their wrong prejudice8.

Before I left London I wrote to Lord Willoughby, but have heard
nothing from his Lordship. Some people think Mr Br is gone down to
ye country to consult his grand Patron.*

I believe upon enquiry, you will find that when Mr B. published his
advertisement in answer to my last (to wch if you remember you added
a postcript to refute his evasions) he was then determin'd not to take
his oath. Two days afterwards a gentleman told a verry emminent
Physician, a great friend of Mr Brs that there was no danger of a
prosecution upon a voluntary oath, as a great Lawyer (I doe not mean
ye Attorney General) told him & who is alsoe a verry great friend of
Mr Br. Then he went to his Grand Patron & told him he was ready
to take it & in y° strongest manner that could be drawn up — you
know ye person that drew it, by what he himself told you.

DEAR SIR, — An officer of ye Navy told me ye other day, he was
wth my Lord Anson a few months agoe, when a Physician applied to
his Lordship, to be employed on board the fleet, having an infallible cure
for ye scurvy, & that two Lieutenants of Men [of] Warr, wch he
named, were cured by him, having tried other Doctors to no purpose.
I have not the honor to be knewn enough to his Lordship, to adress
myself to his Lordship for directions, to find out this Physician, who is a
regular practioner [sic], therefore shall take it, as a particular favor, if you
will desire my Lord Royston to speake to my Lord Anson about it.

The miserable situation, I am in, at present, is a sufficient excuse
to one of yr compassionate disposition for the libertye I take, & the
trouble I gave you, & therefore am verry willing to believe you will
forgive both.

I saw about a fortnight agoe, L. de La Warr at Euston, his Lord
ship said he was at first surprised to see himself hinted at, in a cer
tain Pamphlett, about the Inquisition — but he reflected, he said, that
one day this winter in ye house of Lords, Lord Macklesfield, Lord
Willoughby, & Ld Royston ask't him about a conversation he had wth
Mr Bower upon that subject. He said he had told one of ye Bishops
of it some years agoe, & repeated it to their Lordships. He forgetts
entirely that Jie told me of it. He is entirely convinced, & is surprised
others are not, but wants that some person of note should examine
Mrs Hoyles whose deposition seems to have had great weight wth
his Lordship.

Having in a some degree gott the better of yc Chief Opposer for
giving further evidence, I am in daily expectation of receiving from
Liege, the famous letter, of Ecce ego mitte me, & I am verry positif, if it
is extant, I shall have it. I alsoe expect daily Mr E[lliot]t's affidavit,
about that verry same letter, at whose lodgings it was wrote, given to
him to read, to direct & to send to Mr S[heldon], though I must owne
it is more for our private satisfaction, then for any necessity. Every

DEAR SIR, — I am to return you thanks for yr favor of y™ of y8
2'1 ins*. & alsoe for ye trouble you have had to enquire of Ld Anson,
the name of ye Physician, & wch his Lordship has forgott, but Admiral!
Layton sent me an account of him last Post. Thank God, the pre
scription wch Dr Broxham gave to Major Boggust seventeen years
agoe & wch cured him in a case similar to mine (onely worse) gives me
great hopes of ye same effect upon me, since what I have already taken,
has visibly alter'd every complaint for ye better.

I hope the celebrated Mr Bower will keep all his employments,
Salaries or Pension, if that depends upon the resignation of those
truely Great, & Noble Persons ; the onely Protector8 of ye Grand Patron
of that infamous hippocrite.

I fear the contents of my letter of ye 26th of Octer to Dr Douglass
has given him some displeasure, since he has not favor'd me wth an
Answer. All that I desired was to postpone every thing relating to

me, & to those concern'd about C ts letters, till it is determin'd

wether, (if they be not burn't according to M rpy advice) they

will be delivered to me or not, as well as ye other letter — (Ecce ego
mitte me). Until Mr Ell — ts affidavitt arrives, wch not onely relates
to ye last letter, but has a declaration annexed to it (I suppose from
Macerata) that B. never was Councellour there — these &: other facts,
wch may be gather'd up, & perhaps Mr F[lee]t[woo]d's affidavit * of his

having heard B re mass, will be subject enough, for a reply, or for

a fresh attack —

Two other reasons have great weight wth me. First, I never would
have my name mention'd in any case when I had not, actualy, in
hand facts to support it : 2d, as ye Parliament will soon meet, some
peavish person might attempt to putt in execution what Mr Bower8
Country Neighbour hinted at in his excellent Pamphlett, tSc wch
seems to be renew'd by a paragraf in ye postscript of yc White hall

undated, but some years later, desired her to give " my kind services to Mr. Bower
and Mr. Hill, as if they were named " (Complete and Final Detection, p. 106). The
conclusion to be deduced from these sentences is extremely strong. For Mrs. Fleet-
wood, sec p. 181.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD TO DR. BIRCH

OXBURGH, 14 January 1757.

B.M., Sloane 4300, n. 226.

DEAR SIR, — I received last post the favor of yr letter, wth yr opinion
of Mr Bowers last performance, \vch I make no doubt, will be that of
ye unbiass'd learned — I wish I had seen it, but nobody yett, has had
thoughts of sending it. Was I at present in town, I could mention
an affaire, that would strike terror, into M1' B., & his advocates.
Perhaps it may be as serviceable to keep it, till our answers from
Macerata come about that romantick affaire.

I wrote to Mr Douglass of ye 7th to desire he would make my
excuses for not having complied wth yr intention about my letter to you,
& of wch my indisposition upon ye roade prevented me from having
timely notice, & as my disobedience to yr Commands, proceeded
from an allmost impossibility to obey them, I flatter myself you will
have the goodness to forgive it. I have wrote four letters to Mr D.
since I came down, but have had no answer3, & had I not been
favor'd wth yr opinion about Bower5 last pamphlett, this profound
silence & not sending it, would have made me (& justly) conclude that
the Publick was entirely satisfied of ye gentleman8 innocence.

I am SYy1 most hum. Servant

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD TO DR. BIKCH

OXBURGH, \$ January 1757.
13. M., Sloane 4300, n. 227.

OXBURGH, Jan. \^th 1757.

SIR, — I have read over & over Mr Bower's preface to his defence)
& the oftener I read it, the more I approve of it. The stile is taking,
w(;h makes me doubt, it is not all his owne; but the many quibbles
iVc. &c. and inconsistencies are certainly worthy of ye Author, & un
worthy of notice.

The points he has in view, are to shew the bond from the Pro-
vinciall (if any) unnecessary, the readiness Mr Hill shewd in the
repayment of ye money (wch, if true, would give a verry just suspicion
of ye validity of y° letters) & that the depositions of the Jesuits, tho' in
ye most solemn manner, are not to be regarded. His arguments or
rather disertation to shew that [no] such bond was necessary, as it was
or could be of no force, might perhaps prevail in a Catholic Country,
but I am sure would not in Westminster Hall. I doubt very much
wether he could have succeeded in Westminster hall, to break the
bargain he had made wth the Jesuits, & if that be ye Case, Equity
makes the other reciprocall.

As to ye ready compliance of Mr Hill in ye repayment of ye money,
that bold & false assertion, may verry likely goe down wth those un-
aquainted wth the rulles of ye Jesuits, cS: by the rules of his owne order
(wch I am willing to believe he had then forgotten, as he has in other
places of his performance, & \v''h makes me suspect it comes from

THE DETECTION* OF ARCHIBALD BOWER 189

another pen) Mr Hill could not have disposed of ye money, either
by receiving it, or repaying it, even if it had been his owne, wth out ye
express leave of his Superior, wch in ye first case was Mr Sherburne &
in ye latter Mr Sheldon.

My circumstances never permitted uie to be acquainted wth the
Stocks, I therefore owne my ignorance in these matters — but if the
word transfer has no other meaning, than that Mr Hill assigned over
his stock to Mr Bower by changing one name to another, I suppose
when ye money was repaid, that Stock or Security was retransferd (I doe
not know weether Mr. Bower will allow of that word) from Mr. Bower
to Mr Hill in ye same manner as the transfer — but I doe not find any
annecdote of so materiall a transaction. Sure he has not served father
Hill wth his transfer, in ye same manner he served father Stratton wth
his rider — cN*: as to yc deposition or affidavit of Jesuits, tho I ought to
pay a great regard to Mr Bower8 judgment, yett I must think it is not
superior to ye laws of ye land.

I am sorry he forgott to mention ye reason, he was so frightn'd at
Calais, wch (by way of amendment from ye first story) was occasion'd
by seeing two Jesuits attended by Sbirres, in that garrisoned town, in
search for one of their owne deserters, & as I believe such a thing
never happen'd before, his fright was much more justifiable.

Another Story was also forgot, and that was as some streets in
Macerata are extreamly narrow, a Lady or Nun (I really forget which)
made use of a plank to travel from her window three story high to
that of her gallant, but whether she made use of her feet or her

b ks, I refer myself to Mr. Bower: Sure the ladies in Macerata and

Mr. Bower's horse will make a fine figure in history and both worthy of
Mr. Hogarth's pencil.

I believe when Mr Bower accused, to every body that I have
heard of, the Jesuits, of that villainous design to kidnap him, he then
abjured in his heart, that foul slander & Calumny he bestowed upon
them, & now, that he has reason to think he is in their power, he
like a true Stock Jobber, transfers it, upon ye poor harmless mendicant
friars.

He says he abjured in his heart the pope's unlimited Supremacy, cv:
for four years at least, severall times, publickly swore the acknowledging
it, bound to do soe ; every time he made his vows, & the last time even
added, by oath, an obedience to his Hollinesse — repeated it alsoe as
Chancellour of ye inquisition, & all this by a bull of Pius quartus — to
justifye himself of such a step, wch some people, & I think verry justly,
may call unchristian.

He would fain make a similar case wth the jansenits and ye
Gallican church — I owne the learned Bossuett makes it an article of
faith, the Supremacy of ye pope, as does the Councill of Trent, but ye
Councill of Trent is received in france wth restriction & verry justly
in regard to ye plenitude, or rather latitude of ye popes Supremacy,
therefore they can perform all the ceremonies belonging to their church
wth out incuring censure, nor has there been any Papall decree against
them upon that account, nor will he find anything mention'd in the five
positions of Jansenius condemn'd as haereticall, of yc popes Supremacy,
so that the Jansenits, are condemn'd for holding other tenetts.

190 SIR HENRY ARUNDELL BEDINGFELD

For my part I should not be surprised to hear that in france they
have erected the statue of Mr. Bower, for by his mental abjuration, he
has broach'd a doctrine, wch will reconcile all their religious disputes,
& make them unanimous. They have onely to follow the example Mr.
Bower has so gloriously given — they may receive the bull Unigenitus &
swear to it, in its full extent, & att the same time abjure it, in their
hearts. If he has realy propogated this doctrine upon that account,
one may safely say, he is now as much a frenchman in disguise as he
was a Jesuit in disguise the last four years he was in Italy — I hope you
doe not think I justifye mentall reservation — I doe assure you, I
abhorr both.

We had this day in Ipswich <Sc Norwich newspapers an account of
ye French king receiving a stab, but not a mortall one, between his
ribbs, by ye hand of one, dress't in a Clergymans habbitt. This calls
to mind some verses made some years agoe at Paris, & wch If you
have mislaid, for I dare say you had them, I have here transcribed —

Deux Henries ont immoles nos braves ayeux —
1'un a la liberte, L'autre a nos Dieux —
ils nous animent, Louis, au mesme entreprise,
Craignes, Louis, notre juste ressentiment,
Craignes notre desespoir — la noblesse a des Guises,
Paris des Ravillac", le Clerge des Clement*.

I beg the favor of you to present my humble respects to my Lord
& Lady Hardwick, & give her Ladyship the enclosed, wch is a
piece of nun'8 cutt paper, but not by ye hand, of Francesca Eleonara
Buonacarsi — I believe it will match that, I had ye honor to send her
Ladyship above two years agoe — I hope to be in town next thursday,
& for ye pleasure of personally assuring you how much I am, Sr,
your most hum. Servant

HENRY BEDINGFELD.

Lord Leicester I hear has putt of for some short time, his going up
to London.

SIR HENRY BEDINGFELD TO DR. BIRCH

En route for OXBURGH, 5 February 1757.

B.M., Sloane 4300, n. 250. This is a copy by Birch, the original must have been
sent on to Douglas, who quotes it in his next pamphlet.

SIR, — I can safely declare now, as I have often done, that my
conduct in regard to the affair of Mr Bower has been strictly honest
& totally disinterested : and tho I hear there are some persons, who
seem to be of a different opinion, thir treatment being of such a nature,
& coming from such a quarter is beneath my Resentment, & only the
Object of my contempt. Had the affair come into Westminster Hall
(the most proper place in my Opinion for discovering either Impostures
or Forgeries) I should then have produced Witnesses, as I can now,
of some surprising & interesting facts.

One of these Witnesses, if called upon before proper Judges, would
have deposed upon Oath, what he has frequently & very lately told
me and others in conversation, that he received from Mr A. B.'s own
hand a Letter to send to Father Sheldon, & that another Letter was
left by Mr B. with one Mr [? Havard], (I suppose his Landlord) to be

THE DETECTION OF ARCHIBALD BOWER 191

given him, both which Letters he sent & directed them to Father
Sheldon under the feigned name of Elliot Brown's &: that some person
on seeing these two Letters in my Custody, owns the Direction to be
of his own hand-writing. Mr Bower will easily recollect the gentle
man's name, when I mention it is the same who lent him Baronius &
other Books, when he began (or at least pretended to begin) his History
of the Popes.

There is another person whom I could have produced as a
Witness who introduced Mr B. to Father Shirburn, then provincial of
the Jesuits, was present when Mr B. made a very handsome and well
worded Apology for his past conduct ; remember his being kindly
received & offering his money for an annuity for which affair Mr
Shirburn referr'd him to Mr Hill.

Having at last within these few months got into my possession
another Letter sign'd A. B. (I suppose Abraham Broomstick) dated
the 27th of March 1747 & which was two days after a certain preface
was sent to the press & which any body may see, without the assist
ance of an [?] Ananias that it was certainely written by the same hand
as the other six. I can add, Sir, in support of its authority that I have
also an affidavit of the person, in whose room that Letter was written,
who saw the unfortunate gentleman write it, received it from him to
read & to send to Father Sheldon. This affidavit also informs me
that Mr B. & Mr Sheldon had Transactions together, & that the very
person who makes the affidavit was employed by both of them in those
transactions.

Nothing I think shews more the weakness of the Cause, which the
unfortunate Gentleman attempts to defend, than his declaring, that
Popish evidence in this case ought not to have any weight or any way
be regarded. Such an assertion so contrary to the Law & practice of
this Kingdom seems to border a little upon presumption. If Mr Bower
is innocent, why will he not try the Validity of the Letter in that very
Court, [in which] he so solemnly has sworn them to be forged. For
my part I am sure that nothing but Fraud, Perjury & Injustice can fear
to face that august Tribunal especially whilst that noble & eminent
person * presides in it, whose Decrees will always be deem'd Oracles of
Equity & Justice. But as I despair seeing this matter canvassed in its
proper place I would not conceal any longer from you the above facts,
which I believe you will think like me are pretty strong. I leave you
at liberty to make what use you may think proper of them, tho I
cannot help being of opinion, that there has been already a great deal
more publish'd than what was needful to prove the authenticity of the
Letters.

I return you many thanks for sending the paper parcell to my Lady
Hardwicke. My Lord, upon whom I waited last tuesday, told me her
Ladyship had received it.

The Roads are so very bad & so very jumbling that I shall not be
able to reach Oxburgh till this evening.

I was taken last night with a shivering fit something like that of an

a schoolfellow of Dr. Johnson's. Lord Hardwicke had already resigned the
Chancellorship.

Ague, but hope it will prove to be the effect of the gravel, as it has
happen'd to me once before.

I am Sr, your most obedient & humble servant

February^ 1757. H. BEDINGFELD.

That the Certificate from the notary of the Inquisition declares that
Mr. B. never was a Counsellour of it.* Yet for farther satisfaction Mr
Bowers Description of that abominable Tribunal and his escape is
sent ... for a Dominican Fryer to carry it and explain it to the
present Inquisition of Macerata so I hope in about three months we
shall receive some authentic accounts from thence.

This is the last of Sir Henry's letters sending evidence about Bower.
The controversy, however, was by no means over yet. Douglas on the 5th
of January had published a very telling pamphlet, Bower and Tillemont
Compared. This was an exposure of the shameful way in which Bower had
taken over from the French writer both quotations, notes, references, and
other paraphernalia of learning, and this not only without acknowledgment,
but under the profession that he was drawing direct from the ancient
Fathers. The same exposure had in fact been made before by Alban Butler.
But what no one had attended to, when coming from a Catholic pen. was seen
to have irresistible force, when coming from a writer who had the ear of the
public. Bower answered immediately on the 2ist of January, with his
Reply to Bower and Tillemont Compared, full as usual of vigorous
repartee of a personal character but with practically no defence to the
main charges.

On the 1 2th of March, Douglas answered with A full Confutation of
the facts contained in Mr. Bower's three Defences, •&. strong and clearly
written statement, showing that while the facts against the ex-Jesuit were
constantly increasing, he had in effect no means of answering, except by
evasion and invective. Bower answered in his old style with A Reply to a
Scurillous libel intituled a full confutation, &c., on the 24th of June.

Douglas's next and last pamphlet was the Complete and Final Detection
of Archibald Bower, published 23rd February 1758. Bower had a pamphlet
ready, and published it next day, February the 24th, entitled, Some remark
able facts relating to the Jesuits with regard to Mr. Bower by a Clergyman
of the Church of England, a sort of red herring to draw across the line
followed by Douglas. But the public was now tired of him, and this tract,
as also his One remarkable fact more, fell flat.

Though we have often heard Sir Henry say that more than enough had
been said in order to prove Bower's guilt, not a word too much had been
written to attain a more important point, to break down, even in a single
case, the inveterate obstinacy of so many English fanatics, who thought
that by giving up their faith in Bower they were giving a victory to Rome.
Many letters in his defence were written to the Gentleman's Magazine after
Bower's death, and Bower's friends, knowing their public, were not afraid
to erect over his grave a monument with the following inscription : —

Here lie the remains of Archibald Bower, author of the History of
the Popes, a man exemplary for every social virtue, justly esteemed
by all who knew him for his strict honesty and integrity, and a
sincere Christian. He died Sep. 3, 1766, aged 80.

False witnesses rose up against him, and laid to his charge things that
he knew not. They ^conspired together and laid their net to destroy
him guiltless. The very abjccts came together against him, they

gaped upon him with their mouths. They sharpened their tongues
like a serpent, working deceitfully. They compassed him about
ivith wonts of malice and hatred, and fought against him without
a cause.

lie endured these reproaches with fortitude, suffering wrongfully.

is trying to recover some gaining debts.

198 SIR RICHARD BEDINGFELD, FOURTH BARONET

SIR RICHARD BEDINGFELD, FOURTH BARONET

Born, 14 September 1726; succeeded, i$Jufy 1760;
died) 27 March 1795

WE have already heard something about Richard Bedingfeld's school
days from the accounts on the previous page. The first entry among the
Expensa, 31 August 1738, for "little Bedingfeld" — six pair of gloves at one
shilling apiece, and knife, fork, and penknife at eightpence each, are so
cheap, that one regretfully suspects they were intended for presents !
Evidently five cheap snuff-boxes for his younger brother Edward must
have been for distribution (see also 27 Jan. 1744). A little later Sir Henry
gave his children a better outfit, silver cups and spoons, and private knives
and forks (Dec. 1740), at the cost of ^7, 175. Gingerbread and holiday
jaunts were not forgotten, and their aunt Margaret sent them handsome
tips of a guinea each, and next year two dials. Richard was musical, and
took violin lessons, his instrument having cost £1, 145. 6d. One of them
seems to have had a serious attack of illness in 1740, for Sir Henry gives
£$ in consideration of the extra charges. As there are no_ further disburse
ments on the score of ill-health, we hope that there were no more troubles
of moment. In 1745 we notice that Richard has a room to himself, perhaps
a sign of adolescence. They seem to have left in 1746. But according to
no. 3 below, they did not return till 1748, so we gather that they went to
some other school, perhaps to La Fleche again, or to Angers, whither Sir
Richard sent his own son later on.

Fifteen months after the death of his father, Sir Richard married Mary
Browne, daughter of the sixth Viscount Montague of Cowdray (no. 19, beloiv}.
There is at the British Museum a letter from him to John Caryl of Lady-
holt, Sussex, dated Cowdray, the I3th of October : "Lady Bedingfeld joins
with me in return of thanks for your obliging congratulations on our
marriage" {Additional MSS., 28,234, fol. 360). Their married life was
unfortunately very short, and she died soon after the birth of her first child
(below, nn. 30, 31). According to the family tradition, this loss so over
whelmed her husband that he retired to Oxburgh, and gave up society
except for yearly visits to Cowdray. In his later years he used to spend the
winter months at Bury St. Edmunds. He died 27 March 1795, and was
buried at Oxburgh.

It is curious that both he and his brother Edward should have written
memoranda books in their old age, without there being any apparent
connection between the two.

I. MEMORANDUM BOOK OF SIR RICHARD BEDINGFELD

Small quarto note-book, dark paper sides. Sir Richard's autograph. The entries
are generally made consecutively, not noted down from time to time as they
occurred (but see nn. 15, 104). The numbers prefixed to the memoranda are
the Editor's additions.

The memoranda, as we might have expected from one so devoted to
Oxburgh, all relate either to the family or to the Hall, or to local events or
celebrities. The unity of ideas is so marked that it may be well to classify
them at once, as they constantly illustrate one another.

These memoranda, so far as they go, confirm the family tradition that
Sir Richard, after his wife's death, lived almost entirely at Oxburgh, always
however remaining most affectionately united to his wife's family. His
chief interest, we also see, is centred in his son. He has him home for
vacations from abroad, an unusual course for those days, and he goes twice
to visit him at Liege. On one important point these memoranda correct an
unfavourable idea, which was once current at Oxburgh, and has been
mentioned by Miss Stone in her otherwise admirable essay, "A House and
its Story" (The Messenger, New York, Sept. 1906, p. 250). Sir Richard, so
ran the tradition, was thinking of pulling down the towers and filling up the
moat, when death intervened and saved these glories of the house. This
rumour presumably had its origin in the regrets, which every one must feel,
for the "pulling down yc old Hall" (n. 43), whether that was justifiable or
not. In fact we see here (nn. 143, 153) that his last undertaking for
Oxburgh was to buy 300 yards of iron chain wherewith to rail in the moat.
This chain was hung upon oak posts, and a good deal of time was spent in
getting them ready and put into position. It was evidently in his mind to
preserve and embellish the moat, not to destroy it.

The more important points from the history of the English Catholics are
the taking "the oath to the Government," 21 July 1778. This was the first
Emancipation Act, which, without repealing the old penal laws, gave
exemption from them (such as we have heard Sir Henry Arundell ask for,
above, p. 163) to those who would take an oath "to the Government" (see
n. 59 and note). This comparatively slight measure of relief was so much
resented by the more fanatical section of the Protestants that they were
eventually followed by the "Gordon Riots" (see n. 77).

Meanwhile the French Revolution was on the point of breaking out.
The Jesuits had already been suppressed by the Bourbons throughout their
dominions in 1767, the prelude of greater disasters to follow. St. Omers
College had then been taken from the Society, and the Padri had emigrated,
first to Bruges till 1763, then to Liege, where young Richard was put under
their tuition in 1781. In 1786 the boy is sent to "the Academy of Anger"
(n. no), of which mention was made by Marwood. But no sooner has he
got there than the French monarchy fell, and anarchy began to take its

200 SIR RICHARD BEDINGFELD, FOURTH BARONET

place. So Richard is recalled to Brussels, and there, somewhat hastily it
would seem, wound up his education. The last entry describes him making
a tour in the North (i.e. in the north of England and in Scotland), instead
of on the Continent, and the explanation of this no doubt is that the revolu
tion was now spreading beyond the borders of France. Belgium had been
overrun; Sister Mary Bedingfeld, the Benedictine nun, had had to fly from
Ghent (n. 159). The Tasburghs had lent their house at Bodney to the
" French nuns of Montargie" (n. 147), and a collection was made all over
England for the exiled French priests (n. 149). This was probably the first
occasion that Oxburgh Chapel (then a room under the roof, running east
wards from the towers) would have figured in the public papers, side by side
with the Anglican churches. Chapels had become licit (upon registration)
by Mr. Mitford's "Catholic Dissenters' Relief Bill" of 1791. By this Bill,
too, Catholics had become capable of serving on juries ; and in n. 147 we
see Sir Richard and his son (honoris causa, we may suppose) nominated for
the local grand jury in 1793. The Baronet does not record his having
taken the oath of 1791, but his brother Edward has done so.

J By the first Emancipation Bill, 18 George III. c. 60, the "Papists" could
obtain relief from the persecuting laws of King William III. (and a fortiori horn the

because it began with the words : " I, A. B. , do sincerely promise and swear that I
will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his Majesty King George the Third . . .
utterly renouncing and abjuring any obedience or allegiance unto the person taking

that he had come hack to England, either for a holiday or to fetch Master Bedingield.
As we find that Francis Angier entered Liege on the same day as Richard Bedingfeld
(see below, p. 21 1), the inference that he joined the party at Norwich can hardly be
thought doubtful. See also n. 120.

1475). The choice of Bodney as their place of refuge was perhaps determined by
the presence in their community of Anne Swinburne of Capheaton, the sister of

III. ACCOUNTS FOR THE EDUCATION OF RICHARD, AFTERWARDS
FIFTH BARONET

From the Ledger now at 31 Farm Street, pp. 74, 75. This volume does not I>elong
to the series of Day-books from which the last accounts were published, and
this is why the account is drawn up in a different way, though I am still not able
to balance them.

We may notice the rise of prices. In the accounts of 1738 the annual
pension was ^25, now it is 32 guineas, and soon after was ^50. It may also be
noted that the next entry in the Ledger is that for Francis Angier (cf. p. 204),
who is taken at half pension. But as his account was not paid through
the London Procurator, it does not appear how long he continued at College.

IV. SIR RICHARD'S FUNERAL

John Bedingfeld to Edward Bedingfeld. Copied from the original at Oxburgh by

Mrs. Raoul Bedingfeld.

OXBURGH, April yd, 1795.

DEAR FATHER, — Sir Richard has desired me to inform you that
yesterday, the Funeral Service having been previously performed by
Mr Angier, betwixt 12 & i o'clock, his Father was buried in the

212 SIR RICHARD BEDINGFELD, FOURTH BARONET

Chapel of the Family, in the Church of this Place. The Funeral was
attended from the House to the Church by six of the principal Gentle
men of the neighbourhood as Pall Bearers : followed by me as chief
mourner. The Servants & the Tenants all in mourning. Your
Brother's generosity to the Poor was at all times most conspicuous,
but never more so than during the late severe season. It is therefore
needless to add that numbers of them attended & testified their grief
at his loss. My cousin (Sir Richard) found it impossible for him to
be present, & locked himself in his Room. His Father was buried at
a little distance to the left of Sir Henry. My cousin had some Reason
to think that he had left a will, but none has, as yet, been found. . . .
I was much obliged to Mr White for making the Service in the Church
as short as possible. . . . All the servants in the House have been put
into mourning but I think Mr Crow of Swaffham has been rather ex
travagant (he had the furnishing of many things) in one article as the
Housekeeper said this morning, that the maids' Cloaks, would she
imagined, come to above forty shillings. I easily conceive how much
the loss of your Brother must affect you, but I hope you will keep up
your spirits. ... I desire my love to my Mother & Sisters, £ remain,
Dear Father, your affec. son, J. BEDINGFELD.

THIS volume contains baptisms from 29 March 1791 to 23 January 1882;
and beginning at the other end, burials from 1883 to the present time.
The water-mark in the paper is, " R. Glover 1795." The first entries have
evidently been fair copied by the Rev. John Sanderson, from some original
which has now perished. The first twelve entries were then signed by
Father Angier, S.J., who survived till 1837 (see Foley, vii. 13) ; the next
seven are signed by the Rev. John Paterson. The entry for 5 September
1803 (the baptism of Charles Richard Bedingfeld at Yarmouth) is on a slip
of paper pasted in. The entry (24 January 1805, the baptism of Edward
Richard Bedingfeld) is the autograph of the Rev. Edward Beaumont.

After the hand of the Rev. John Sanderson come entries by Peter James
de la Bissache, Pastor, from i November 1811 to March 26, 1815. Then
Joseph de Pierreville, Pastor (2 Dec. 1815 to 10 October 1825). Then

"juillet," 1828). Sam1 Roch, Pastor (September 7, 1828, to 27 December
1831). All these entries are in English.

John Gasgoine, M.A. (April 1832 to 12 June 1844) returns to Latin. He
has made the following entry about the present Oxburgh Chapel : " The
first stone of the new Chapel at Oxburgh was laid on the 6th August,
1835. I* was opened on Sunday ioth July 1836, and was dedicated to the
Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin, and to St Margaret Queen
of Scotland. It was built at the sole expence of Sir Henry & Lady
Bedingfeld."

222 CENSUS OF THE OXBURGH CATHOLICS, 1790-1804

VIII

CENSUS OF THE OXBURGH CATHOLICS, 1790-1804

Quarto account-book, containing nine gatherings of twelve folios (i.e. in all 216 pp.),
not paged. Water-mark, " 1801."

IT is commenced by the Rev. J. Paterson, and continued according to the
manner begun by him, until the year 1844, when the Rev. J. G[ascoyne]
left Oxburgh for Northampton. Further on there are a few marriages
registered 1832-1871. At the end some obits and miscellaneous
notes.

The census for the year 1798 is copied, and the order of the names
noted in the first column. The order they take in the next year is
indicated in the second column ; the third year in the third column,
&c. Where groups occur year after year, there is evidence of their
living in the same house or family. At first the wife's Christian name
only was given, later on " Mrs." is more common. This has suggested
to me the propriety of bracketing together the names of those who
were evidently husband and wife, but this bracket is in each case the
editor's addition.

§ III. — NOTES ON THE PEDIGREE OF BEDINGFELD OF OXBURGH

FROM THE TIME OF SlR HENRY THE CAVALIER

A. The Various Branches of the Bedingfeld Family.

The family, which now bears the name of Bedingfeld (Bedingfield), a
parish in North Suffolk (Hoxne hundred), have certainly been lords of the
manor of that name since a very remote period, and the Oxburgh, or main
stem of the race, still retains that honour. The family pedigree, which
claims one unbroken succession since the Conquest, is acknowledged to be of
authority, though for some remote periods it cannot be confirmed from
independent sources. Before treating of the Oxburgh stem, for the period
which has actually been under our consideration, it may not be amiss to say
a word or two upon the chief branches, of which mention will be found in
the " Visitations."

The chief division dates from the fifteenth century, when Sir Edmund
Bedingfeld married Margaret, heiress of Sir Thomas Tuddenham, who
brought him estates in Oxburgh and much other property in Norfolk. On
this his descendants eventually settled, leaving Bedingfeld to the heirs of
James, his younger brother, whose grandson Thomas, marrying Joan Bosard,
became possessed of Ditchingham, which then became the chief seat of his
branch of the family, the neighbouring church of Hedsham (3 miles NW.
of Bungay) being full of their monuments. Their pedigree may be found in
the various editions of Burke's Landed Gentry. Perhaps the most distin
guished names of this line are three knights — Sir Thomas (i593?-i66i), Sir
Henry (1633- 1667), and Sir Robert. The first eventually purchased from
his elder brother Philip the manor of Darsham in Suffolk, which Dorothy
Southwell had brought with her hand to his father Thomas (b. 1553) ; but
his issue died out in the next generation. Sir Thomas sided with the Par
liament in the contest with King Charles. He refused to defend Sir Edward
Herbert, who was impeached by the Commons for his share in the attempt
to arrest the Five Members; and for this refusal Thomas was himself com
mitted for contempt by the House of Lords. However, he was on the
winning side, and eventually was appointed a Commissioner of the Great
Seal, and a Judge of Common Pleas in 1648. His two nephews, Sir Henry
and Sir Robert, came into prominence later. Sir Henry was a lawyer like
his uncle, and became Lord Chief Justice in 1683. Sir Robert was Lord

232 NOTES, MONUMENTS, AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF

Mayor of London in 1707. This branch of the family seem to have been
Protestants ; but Charles Bonaventure Bedingfeld, the Franciscan (1698-
1782), a convert from Protestantism, was probably the fifth son of Philip
Bedingfeld and Elizabeth Strode, in the next generation of this same
family.

Returning now to the main line, a somewhat important branch was
settled in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries at Quidenham in Norfolk.
It began with Peter Bedingfeld, fourth son of Sir Edmund, Knight of the
Bath ; and it seems to have ceased with Philip Bedingfeld, who was a
staunch Recusant in the time of Elizabeth, and who, for that or other
reasons, had to part with the property in 1572. In the Armada year he, by
right of birth and descent the lord of the manor, the squire and magnate of
the village, was, for his adherence to his father's creed, confined in the house
of the local parson until he should conform, an indignity which, according
to the ideas of that time and place, would have been unspeakably bitter.

To return once more to the main stem. The age of Sir Henry, the well-
known Councillor of Queen Mary, covered a period in which many new
families were established, and it is only natural for us to find the Bedingfeld
" tree" now 'putting forth some strong and vigorous branches. Thus his
brother Anthony was given the manor of Holme Hale, which had come to
the Bedingfelds from the Jennies, and he married Elizabeth Danyel, who
brought him Bures Hall in the same neighbourhood. A marriage with the
heiress of Thomas Townsend of Testerton, in the next generation, added
that manor to their estates. After keeping for six generations in this locality,
the direct line ended in an heiress, Dorothy. But she, by marrying Francis
Bedingfeld of Redlingfield, preserved the property for her kin and name.
Not, however, for long. Her three children were childless ; Francis,
her heir, sold Testerton to John Curties, Hale Manor to Henry Ibbot of
Swaffham, and Bures Hall to the Eyres. Eventually Father Anthony
Bedingfeld, S.J. (see above, p. 195, and Foley, vii. 45), the eldest son, but as
a priest not left heir to the estates, was left the sole survivor, and he died at
Liege in 1752.

The Bedingfelds of Redlingfield, of whom we have just made mention,
sprang from Nicholas (PJohn), son of Sir Henry, the Privy Councillor.
They were established first at Gislingham in Suffolk, and afterwards at
Snatshough (or Snatsborough) and at Redlingfield. The Civil War, crush
ing though it was to Catholics at home, was, in this way, favourable to the
English convents on the Continent, that it reduced almost to a vanishing
point the chances of a Catholic girl finding an honourable home, profession,
or livelihood in England. With this in mind we can understand the perhaps
unique occurrence which befell this family, viz. that the daughters, to the
large number of eleven, all became nuns. Moreover, one of them was a
widow, whose daughter had entered before her (see below, p. 240). As we
have seen, this family eventually ended in Father Anthony, SJ. Redling
field had been sold in 1748 (Foley, v. 568).

THE BEDINGFELDS OF OXBURGH 233

Elizabeth Timperley, daughter of Nicholas Timperley of Hintlesham,
married Thomas Townsend of Testerton, and their only child, Dorothy,
married Thomas Bedingfeld of Holme Hale (see above, p. 232). Sir Henry's
uncle Anthony, of Scots Hall [? Snatshough], had previously married a Lucy
Timperley of the same family.

In the Papers of the Committee for Compounding (Calendar, pp. 2133,
2134) there is a somewhat complicated petition of Michael Timperley, who,
15 June 1653, after the death of his wife, requests that Sir Henry and Henry
Bedingfeld may be ordered to produce the deeds of sale of certain proper
ties, in which his wife had an interest.

[2] HENRY, the first Baronet, for whom see above, p. 18, &c.

[3] EDMUND, Canon of Lierre, baptized 14 Aug. 1615 (ante, p. 14);
died 2 Sept. 1680. His monument still exists in the Collegiate Church
of St. Gomarre, see above, p. 82. He had been chaplain to the English
Carmelite nuns at Lierre. His portrait is at Oxburgh, another at Darlington.
He studied at St. Omers and Seville ; visited Rome, when he dined at the
English Hospice on September 24, 1644, together with " the Earl of Ban-
bury, who was about to leave Rome," and Mr. Haggerston — Foley, vi. 626.
He wrote two books, for which see Gillow, i. 165 ; Foley, v. 573.

[4] WILLIAM, born 31 December 1616 ; baptized 23 January 1617 (abovt,
p. 14). He is said to have been trained to arms on the Continent under
the Duke of Guise, and to have become a " Captain of the Guards."
Captain William Bedingfeld " of Ashill " was sent up prisoner to London,
3 October 1655, as has been already mentioned above, p. 3. He died
" 28 January 1685," i.e. 1686, and is, I believe, buried in St. Giles's, Norwich.
Foley found among the papers belonging to the Jesuits of this district, a
note of certain masses to be said annually by the Fathers, who had received
the benefaction of a farm valued at ;£ioo from "Susan, wife of Captain
William Bedingfeld, brother of Sir Henry Bedingfeld of Beck Hall." No
further details. (H. Foley, Records S.J., v. 568 n.)

[5] JANE, born 26 April, baptized 22 May 1618 (above, p. 14). Married
Richard Martin of Long Melford before the year 1634, between which time
and 1647 she had ten children, of whom, however, four died infants, and
she herself died after giving birth to her only daughter, Jane, 28 June 1647
(Wotton, Baronetage, iv. 522). In some editions of the Bedingfeld pedigree,
however, it is stated that it was Anne who married Richard Martin, and Jane
is given as the wife of Colonel Price, e.g. in Playfair's Baronetage, and the
otherwise excellent pedigree printed by the Norfolk Archaeological Society,
Norf. Arch., vol. i. p. 157.

In the church at Oxburgh there is a monument to "Jane, the wife of
Richard Martin, who departed this life the first day of February 1706.
Requiescatin Pace" But the date (which would have made her eighty-eight
years old and leave no room for Martin of Long Melford's second wife) shows
this was a different person.

[6] ELIZABETH, was baptized 8 November 1619 (p. 14), and married
William Cobbeof Sandringham (see Sandringham Past and Present, by Mrs.
Herbert Jones), a colonel in the King's army, who died 1665. Elizabeth Cobbe
died 1698, according to the family pedigree, but Foley, vi. 508, Addendum,
says : " Buried at St. Giles, Norwich, 1684. She had two daughters, Car
melites at Lierre, professed together 2 February 1671 ; Mary (aged 22) died
between 1709 and 1714, and Anne (aged 20) died August 10, 1690."

[7] MARIE. Baptized 10 May 1621 (ante, p. 14). There can be no doubt
that she married Robert Apreece of Washingley (as the family pedigree
states), and after his death Humphrey Orme. For there is among the
papers of the Committee for Compounding {Calendar, p. 1778) a petition
from her, 22 November 1647, begging to compound for the estates of her
late husband, Robert of Washingley, who has left an infant son, Robert.
This child eventually recovered the family property, and his line was after-

wards given a baronetage, now extinct. The last survivor, I am told,
bequeathed everything to the London Hospital. A Mary Apreece of this
family married Richard Washington of York, who has been believed to be
an ancestor of George Washington, the first President U.S.A., but this
theory is now given up.

A more certain title to honour was the happy confession of his faith,
which brought about Colonel Apreece's death. Bishop Challoner writes : —

" 1644. This year, as Mr. Austin writes (under the name of William
Birchley) in his Christian Moderator (1652) was Mr. Price, a Catholic gentle
man, murdered at Lincoln in hatred of his religion. The story he relates
thus : ' I remember an officer of my acquaintance, under the Earl of Man
chester, told me that at their taking of Lincoln from the Cavaliers, in the
year 1644, he was an eye-witness of this tragedy. The next day after the
Town was taken, some of our (the parliament) common soldiers, in cold
blood, meeting with Mr. Price of Washingley, in Huntingdonshire, a papist,
asked him, " Art thou Price the Papist ? " "I am," said he, " Price the
Roman Catholic" ; whereupon one of them instantly shot him dead.'"

This death fulfils all the conditions of true martyrdom, and the cause of
his Beatification has therefore been admitted, and he is styled " Venerable "
in the Decree of 1886 (see Pollen, Acts of English Martyrs, p. 382).

[8] JOHN, baptized 10 November 1624 (ante, p. 14). Foley describes him
as " unmarried." The second baronet says, " My uncle John died 16 February
1685," and the Oxburgh register gives "John Bedingfield, Esq., [buried]
Feb. 19, 1685 " (i.e. 1686). Marwood gives his anniversary as the i8th.

There is at Oxburgh a picture of a young man in armour, which is re
produced by Miss Stone in her article in The Messenger of New York
(September, 1906), with this inscription : "John Bedingfeld. Killed at the
battle of Worcester, Aged 16." There is evidently some mistake here.
John would have been 26 in 1651, the date of the battle, and he was not
killed, but lived on, as we see, for over thirty-four years.

[9] ANNE. Her father gives no date for birth or baptism, but as he
puts her name last on the second list, we may conjecture that she was
younger than John. Her godparents were " My Daughter Beding. and
Mr. William Paston." — " My Daughter Beding." may conceivably have
been his own eldest daughter, but it would be more probably Mary
Brooksby, the wife of his eldest son Thomas, if he was already married.

Besides this, there must have been one other son, and one daughter, for
the monument speaks of" 5 Sonnes and 6 Daughters."

2. Family of Sir Henry, the First Baronet.

He married Margaret, only daughter of Edward Paston of Horton,
Gloucester, and in a petition dated 3 October 1655, he says he has "a wife
and 9 small children " dependent on him. The votive picture shows three
sons and five daughters, so one must have died young.

Ei] HENRY, the second baronet. See p. 35.
2] ELIZABETH, born 21 December 1636 (p. 22), married Thomas Wheat-
enhall of East Peckham, Kent, whose first wife, Lady Catherine Talbot, died
6 July 1656 (p. 90, «.)• In the family pedigree she is marked as dying
without issue, but she certainly had an heir, Henry, and was presumably
also the mother of various daughters, nuns (p. 90, «.). Her brother has left
out a figure from the date of her death, " My sister Wheatinhall died 24 Feb.
1 66-," which is confusing. Presumably he means some time before 1685,
the next date clearly noted, certainly before 1698, the date of writing (above,

P- 37)-

[3] FRANCES married Richard Caryll of Harting, Sussex. A full descrip
tion of the family will be found in Max de Trenqualeon, West Grinstead et les
Caryll (1893), ii. 40, 97, £c. He was the younger brother of John, the

THE BEDINGFELDS OF OXBURGH 235

secretary of King James II. at St. Germain, and created by him Lord
Durford (ob. 1711). The second son was Peter, a Benedictine, the third
Richard, on whom it consequently fell to make the best fight he could for
the family estates, when William of Orange confiscated his elder brother's
property. Frances and Richard had five children, whose descendants may
be seen in Trenquale"on's second pedigree. He also gives at p. 97 a repro
duction of their monumental inscription, which is here printed, p. 230. She
died 4 September 1704, in the 6gth year of her age.

[4] MARY married Thomas Eyre of Hassop, co. Derby, and Eastwell in
Leicestershire. An account of this family will be found in J. Nichols, History
and Antiquities of the County . of Leicester, vol. iv. pt. i. p. 398, and ii. 167.
As has been said, this family.'eventually purchased Bures Hall from Francis
Bedingfeld, and there are a number of Eyre monuments in Holme Hale
Church (see Blomefield). Mary was Thomas's second wife, and he had by
her (besides one son by his first wife) ten children, several of whom were
of some importance in the Catholic community of their day (Kirk, Bio
graphies of English Catholics, pp. 71-73). Two of her daughters were nuns
at Lierre (see p. 45 above). Henry, "counsellor at law," the eldest son, is
mentioned by Marwood, p. 101 ; his monument is in Holme Hale Church.
James Eyre (fourth son), a doctor, has also been mentioned, pp. 86, 88, &c.
The third son, Francis (living in 1700), was also an M.D. Thomas and
William (the second and fifth) were priests. Mary died in 1710, aged 67,
and her monumental inscription has been given above, p. 230.

[5] ANNE, in religion Sister Anne of the Angels, professed 1670, died
18 February 1701, in the 5oth year of her age. See above, p. 95.

[6] MARGARET, in religion Mother Margaret of Jesus, Carmelite nun
of Lierre, of whom above, pp. 45, £c. Professed 1673, died 1714.

[7] JOHN, born 165 1 (?), J.P. for Norfolk. This, I suppose, was during
the reign of James II., who sometimes used his royal prerogative to dis
pense Catholics from the Test Oath, which had been devised to keep them
out from this and other posts of trust. He enjoyed, during the life of his
mother, the estate of Ashill Holt (p. 37), and I also find him described as
of Coulsey Wood, Stoke Ash. He married Dorothy, daughter of John
Ramsey (alias Dicks) of Wickmore, by whom he had two sons and two
daughters, John (ob. 1729), Henry (ob. 1738), Frances (ob. 1718), Mary
(ob. 1719). John died at Wickmore, 9 August 1693, a^tatis 42 (?).

[8] EDWARD. "Edward Bedingfeld, 3rd son of Henry Bedingfeld of
Oxburgh, Norfolk, knight (sic) — [Admitted] 27 April [1667] " (Registers oj
Admissions to Gray's Inn, ed. Foster). There are fifteen other Bedingfelds
mentioned in this register, but none of them from Oxburgh. Mr. Foster
adds this note — "Called to the bar 10-11 November 1688, on the recom
mendation of King James II., as signified by the Lord Chancellor, 25 June
1688 O.S. He married Mary, daughter of Thomas and youngest sister of
Sir Clement Fisher, bart., of Packington, co. Warwick. His daughter Mary
(ob. 1761) married, in 1721, Sir John Swinburne, bart," and their daughter
Mary married another Edward Bedingfeld, who will appear in the next
generation but one of the Oxburgh family (see p. 236).

This Edward is often mentioned in Marwood's Diary. Being perhaps
the only Catholic then at the bar, it was natural that he should be often
employed by Catholics, though not by them only (see p. 161). He was left
the (Plife interest) of the "Shingham" estates (p. 37). He was alive in 1711
(see p. 161).

3. The Family of Sir Henry, the Second Baronet.

He married, first, 20 December 1666, Anne Howard, daughter of Viscount
Andover, afterwards Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire, but she died without
issue, 19 September 1682, aged 32 years. She is mentioned with praise in
the life of her cousin Mary Howard, by Alban Butler (Gillow, iii. p. 435).

among the Poor Clares at Rouen (ob. 1735).

John Jerningham, 4th bart., who died without issue in his 55th year, and is
buried in Bath Abbey, 17 June 1737. She survived till 1756, when she died
at Winchester, but was buried (23 Dec.) with her husband.

6. The Family of Sir Richard Bedingfeld, the Fifth Baronet.

He married Charlotte Georgiana, only daughter of Sir William Jerningham,
Bart., of Costessy. She obtained the precedence of a baron's daughter after
her brother George became Lord Stafford, and was appointed Woman of the
Bedchamber to Queen Adelaide, many of whose letters to her are preserved
at Oxburgh. Lady Charlotte was a lady of remarkable talents, both as an
artist and as a letter-writer. Of her letters many are preserved, and have
been published by E. Castle, The Jerningham Letters, 1780-1843 ; Excerpts
front the Correspondence and Diaries of the Hon. Lady Jerningham and her
Daughter, Lady Bedingfeld, 2 vols., 1896. Another selection has been pub
lished since in A House of Letters. She eventually retired to the convent at
Hammersmith, and died 29 July 1854 (p. 227). He died 22 November
1 829 (p. 244).

A. Religious and Sacerdotal Vocations in the Bedingfeld Family.

These notes are written in a lady's hand, in a small paper note-book, without name
of author or date. It will be noticed that Mary Bedingfeld, professed at Ghent in
1775 (above, p. 210), and whose flight to England in 1794 is mentioned by Sir Richard,
is not alluded to here, the latest date explicitly mentioned being 1782. It would not
be very difficult, nowadays, to extend the lists here given to twice or thrice their
length.

From the book of the Commemoration of the deceased Religious,
who were professed in the Monastery of the Immaculate Conception of
the glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of the Holy Order of St.
Benedict in Ghent.

Anno Domini 1636 the 14th of December, Dame Thecla Beding-
field * most happily departed from this, to a better world in the 6th
year and a half after her holy Profession, her most remarkable virtues
were meekness, peace, fortitude, patience.

Dame Thecla called Phillipa at holy Baptism was daughter to
Francis Bedingfield Esqr, born at Redlingfield in Suffolk, came to the
trial of holy Religion about the age of 19 or 20. She was of a pure
sanguine complexion, very straight and proper of personage, and lovely
in corporal features, but concerning that which is much more prizable,
she was of a rare interiour temper, having a gracious sweet & most
meek disposition, And withal of a great courage in suffering, enduring
much with invincible patience. Amongst others in this kind by the
surgeons incisions. Once her knee was cut and sliced into sippits.
She had always a great confidence in Almighty God and in her last
sickness was overheard to ask herself, " How comes my good God to
give me so much of his favour I having deserved so very little at his
hands ? " To which she again answered, " The attending to myself
and medling with nobody else, doth give me this Serenity," and that
she would warrant all those who were eminent in this practice, that
they would enjoy great peace of mind at their deaths.

After the happy decease of our dear & Revd Dame Hieronimia
Waldegrave this our beloved Sister in Xt, Dame Thecla, was by the
Convent's Election chosen to succeed her in Infirmary Office, which she
performed with great satisfaction, recreating the sick with such innocent
and pleasant conversation, that it was an excellent divertissment to see
her mix mirth and piety with such a dexterous facility. She had been
likely, if God had preserved her health and life, to have exhibited very
good assistance to the whole Community in the well discharging of
any Office, especially being so free from any passion ; but the divine
Majesty was pleased to call this his dear Spouse in the prime of her
youth to himself by a consumptive fever, which was most vehement

THE BEDINGFELDS OF OXBURGH 239

towards the end. Tollerating this her last sickness according to her
wonted sweetness, peace, and patience, receiving most piously and in
her perfect senses all the rites of the Holy Church, after that having
again Absolution & the assistance of all the devout prayers commonly
said for those in their last Agony, she fell into a slumber at that very
time translated from death to life and happily slept in our Lord, within
the Octave of his glorious Mother's Immaculate Conception, leaving
the whole convent most sensible of our loss. She was so grateful to
every one and truely beloved of all for her virtuous life, innocent, sweet
and gentle disposition.

Requiescat in Pace.

Anno Domini 1637, Feb; ist.

Dame Eugenia Bedingfield* most happily departed this life, having
been professed the 26 June 1633. Her most notable virtues were a
singular devotion to our Bd Lady and a great desire of self contempt
etc.

Our dear Sister in Christ Dame Eugenia, in baptism was called
Margaret, daughter to Thos Bedingfield gent: commonly called
Captain Bedingfield. She entered very young to the trial of holy
Religion ; after her profession she was much employed in humble
Offices having charge of the Cellar a long time together, which she
performed not only laboriously but also very cleanly and exactly. She
had many interiour difficulties and trials, in the midst of which she was
ever most punctual in her examins, and was observed to be always more
than ordinary serious at those times. She bore a great respect to her
(even immediate) superiors and loved them entirely. She often affirmed
that she hated to think that any one should value or esteem her, for she
never had done ought that deserved estimation. Her frequent petition
to Almighty God was to die. At last she told one in confidence a
little before (or in) her last Sickness, that our Lord had granted her
long request. She died of a Consumption, being strengthened with all
the last Sacraments, happily expiring upon the eve of the Bd Virgin's
Purification, to whom she had been singularly devoted, and had reposed
a great confidence in her, as the Mother of mercy and advocate with
her Blessed Son sweet Jesus.

Requiescat in Pace.

In the year of our Lord 1642, on the 2oth of February, most happily
departed this life Sister Thecla t Bedingfield; her most notable Virtues
were Humility and Sincerity.

Sister Thecla, in Baptism called Margaret, daughter to Mathew
Bedingfield Gent: She came to Religion about the age of 16; her
complexion pure fair, her constitution sickly, having past a year scholar
she very joyfully received the Holy Habit going on in the trial of
Religion with courage and zeal, being Consumptive holding out as long
as possible without going to the Infirmary, for she would not yield nor

* She is I4th in the list of professed printed in the Annals of Ghent, p. 197.

f Thecla (olim Margaret) Bedingfeld is No. 41 in the list of professed of Ghent
(Annals, p. 198). Her sister Mary was also a Benedictine nun, who died abbess at
Brussels, 2ist April 1665 (Foley, ibid.).

shrink under the burden of her Cross, but did all those humble Offices
wherein the Novices were tried for the exercise of humility and mortifi
cation without a desire of being exempted. She was of a Candid and
down right plain dealing humour, not at all moved by human respects,
and had a great contempt of the world even from her tender years,
never giving way to be set vainly out by curling her hair and the like,
but always when she was called to be dressed in that sort, like her
other sister, she would weep most bitterly, and beg with many tears to
be excused. This resolute spirit in point of virtue she maintained in
Religion. In time of her last sickness, being sent to the Infirmary she
behaved herself very religiously and was most willing to Die ; humbly
begging to be admitted to make her Vows of holy Religion, which she
obtained and did perform them very piously, receiving devoutly also all
the last sacraments ; having all the rites and prayers done for her, she
was bid to repose, and in that disposition slept in our Lord most quietly
without any other sign, so that those who were kneeling in prayer about
her did not perceive when she Died.

Requiescat in Pace.

Extract from the Pedigree at Oxburgh.

Francis Bedingfield married Catherine Fortescue had eleven
Daughters Nuns.*

1. Catherine, Superior of the Carmelites at Antwerpe.

2. Mary, a Nun at Liege.

3. Margaret, Abbess at the Poor Clares at Rhoan.

4. Winifred, a Nun in Bavaria.

5. Helena, Abbess of the Austin Nuns at Bruges.

6. Grace, a Nun at Louvain.

7. Frances, a Nun at Rome.

8. Phillippa, a Benedictine Nun at Ghent.

9. Ann, a Nun at Gravelines. She was the 5th Abbess of the

10. Magdaline, a Carmelite Nun.

1 1. Mary, Abbess of the Austin Nuns at Bruges.

Names of other members of the Bedingfield family who have joined
the Religious Orders.

Lucy — 4th Prioress of the English Theresians at Antwerpe. She
died of the small-pox the 6th January 1650 — aged 36, in the ist year of
her Government.

* This very remarkable generation of nuns is more fully described in Foley, v.
568-582, with the assistance of the Bruges MSS. According to him the order of the
sisters should be : (i) Helena, (2) Margaret, (3) Philippa, (4) Elizabeth, here omitted,
(5) Winefrid, (6) Catherine, (7) Frances, (8) Grace, (9) Magdalen, (10) Anne,
(n) Mary, of Liege. The second Mary here mentioned, of Bruges, was a niece, the
only daughter of the eldest son John. Elizabeth, who is omitted above, married
Sir Alexander Hamilton Knight. He died after two years, and the widow entered
the Austin nuns at Bruges. Her only daughter had entered before her, and was
her Novice Mistress. Foley prints eulogies of Margaret and Anne (see 3 and 9 above)
from the Chronicles of the Poor Clares, as well as of Frances and Winefrid, nuns of
the Original Institute of Mary, from Leitner, and the Annals of St. Mary's Convent,
York.

THE BEDINGFELDS OF OXBURGH 241

Mary — second Superior of the English Franciscan Nuns at Rouen.
After governing the House eleven years, she died the 6th March 1670.

Anthony Bedingfield S.J. born 28th of October 1697 : entered the
Noviceship of the Jesuits at the early age of 17, and died at Liege
2d June, 1752.

Bonaventure Bedingfield O.S.F. — Exprovincial— died in S* Bona-
venture's Convent at Douay 5th June 1782 — aged 84.*

B. Letters from Dame Margaret Bedingfeld.

It may be well to mention here that there are, besides the letter quoted
at p. 20, two other letters from Dame Margaret to Lady Yarmouth in other
volumes at the British Museum. The first, dated from Beck Hall, 25 July
1675, describes her pleasure at a visit to Oxnead. "A terrestrial paradise !
' Miss' and my cosen Thomas are both prettier than I can expresse ; nor did
I ever in my life find anything in poetry or painting half so fine as what I
saw that day at your Ladyship's house." The second letter, dated 13 March
[? 1676] " salutes' the Ld. Lieutenant of Norfolk." On the 23rd of August
[1676] a letter from Sir Henry, the second baronet, dated "Oxborow."
Lord Yarmouth, it seems, had been robbed, perhaps with violence, so the
letter concludes with the prayer, "The diuell take him who designs my
Lord Yarmouth mischiefe — is ye daylie prayer of, My Lord, your obed.
Kinsman, Henry Bedingfeld, Junior" (MS. from Roydon Hall, Additional
36,988, ff. 104, 106, 123).

C. From Mrs. Raoul Bedingf eld's Collection,

The following extracts are all taken from a large volume of notes on the
family, bound in black.

i. The following paper, in Mr Marwood's hand, is at Oxburgh.

" The copy of the Epitaph Mr Edward Bedingfeld desired me to

it was not, it seems, liked by him."

Knight and 2nd Bart, (in a direct descent) of his Family. Whose Per

of Personage noble, aimable & agreeable; of Abord easy; of Con

uninterrupted Line of Ancestors, as a sacred Depot, which he left
untainted to his young children. (For he was marryed young to the
onely daughter of the Earl of Berkshire, by whom he had no Issue.
After her death to the eldest daughter of Sir John Arundell, by whom
he had one onely son & 3 daughters, the eldest of which dyed at

6. Abstract of the Will of Father Thomas Hawkins , S.J.

This will was made during the suppression of the Society, which may perhaps have
influenced its terms. The original is preserved at Stonyhurst.

Bequeaths to Sir Richard Bedingfeld his horse & accoutrements,
& his snuff box given him by Lady Montague. To Master Beding-
field all his fishing tackle.

"Whereas Mr" Agnes Buckley has had a great deal of trouble
with me for some years, & has attended me very assiduously in the
doctoring of my sore leg; I give her my watch, seals &c. belonging
to it. I give her also my linen apparel viz. shirts, handkerchiefs,
stockings &c. also my flower pots & all my glass and crockery ware."
Residue to Revd Mr Thomas Angler of Norwich (sole executor in trust
for Mrs Norfolk).* n Aug. 1783. Signed & sealed, ii. 116.

7. A Letter from Charlotte (Jerningham}, Lady Bedingfeld.

June 1797. I was this morning at Bodney (the Convent) f for
the first time since my Poor Aunt's Death, after my visit I sent my
carriage on under pretence of walking some part of the way, but in
reality to look for her grave in the neighbouring Church Yard. Do
you remember the Church ? It stands in a ruinous state on a hill not

daughter of Henry, nth Viscount Dillon, and sister of Frances, the mother of Lady

far from the convent. ... A few scattered trees shade the base of
the mount, and one solitary cottage, the sole remaining of the village,
stands near the top. I directed my steps to the north side of the
Church where the earth newly sodded up immediately showed me the
Place where the cold remains of this revered Relation lie. Four nuns
have died since their arrival at Eodney, they are buried in a Row, a piece
of wood over each with the Initials of their name & O.S.B., R.I. P. . . .
I could have stood for hours musing over these simple memorials
of those who were born to Riches & Grandeur, but who preferred a
Life of meek Retirement, &: now sleep in peace under the green sod
surrounded by lowly Peasants. " How the rank grass waves o'er the
chearless ground."

I feel more strange here than the Old transplanted Pollard that
was brought with such difficulty before the windows at Oxburgh.

[This old tree used to be near the Sluice on the east wing, where
the beech tree now is ; it was blown down in a gale in 1852.]

8. Yarmouth.

When Nelson came to Yarmouth in 1801 with the Fleet, Sir
Richard, who was then living there on the South Deans (which can
always be recognised by the " battlemented" garden wall erected by
Lady Charlotte in imitation of Oxburgh !) presented a gold Cup at
the races.

9. Reminiscences of Sir Richard^ the Fifth Baronet.

The " good Sir Richard " died of an apoplectic stroke at Windsor,
at the White Hart Inn in 1829. There are two old women living at
Oxburgh (& perhaps more) who remember him, old M18 Bennet &
Mrs Lambert. The latter is over 90, Mrs Bennet is 85. The latter
remembers Sir Richard's coffin being moved from the Bedingfeld
Chapel in the parish Church to the private chapel built by his son,
the 6th Bart, in 1835. A letter written by Charlotte Lady Bedingfeld
to her son Sir Henry in 1839, evidently alludes to this.

" Your letter of yesterday, my dear Henry, overcame me very
much, but the feeling that remains, is one of great comfort ! Your
act of filial piety seems to smooth my path to the tomb, and as you &
yours advance on, you will rejoice in what you have done ! I should
like to know the day & the hour. I feel, as it were, a weight off my
mind, for I had not courage to talk over the subject, & my thoughts
knew not where to go. R.I.P."

10. The Restoration of Oxburgh.

Sir Henry Bedingfeld found his ancestral home in a terribly
dilapidated state, when he succeeded in 1829, but almost immediately
began the improvements. He set his heart upon restoring the place,
& sacrificed all his time, money & amusements to this object. Ox
burgh would certainly have become a ruin, but for his efforts. His
ambition was to restore it to its former glories as much as possible.
In all this, he was ably seconded by his wife, who became as enthusi
astic in the cause as Sir Henry himself. They commenced by employ-

ing Buckler, the celebrated architect, who had built the present
Costessey Hall. Gothic windows were put in to the North front, to
replace the modern sash windows, & gothic chimneys took the place
of the square modern ones. In the general decay of the place, the
ground surrounding the moat was used by cattle who came to drink,
& cottages were dotted about in the Park. Sir Henry restored the
outside wall of the moat, & with the assistance of a clever Scotch
gardener, called Anderson, the present fine Terrace was made & the
French garden on the east side of the mansion. The Towers & the
roof were releaded. The Chapel then consisted of two Cottages in
the village, & Sir Henry built the present Chapel in the grounds, from
designs by Pugin. This Chapel was finished in 1837. Sir Henry also
built the present Presbytery, the Chaplains having formerly lived in
the house now known as the " Bedingfeld Arms," in Oxburgh village.
By dint of money payments & legal means Sir Henry got rid of the
cottages in the Park & turned the Ferry Road further from the House.
He collected abroad a very large amount of old carved oak & had it
converted into panellings etc., & the present north Dining Room &
Staircase were principally constructed by him. The beautiful carved
oak & painted "Triptych" over the altar in the Chapel was brought
from Bruges by Sir Henry, who had thoroughly artistic tastes. At a
later period, just before his death, Sir Henry built the present S.E.
Tower, entirely from his own designs. He also built the two pretty
lodges, one on the Stoke Road, & the other at the Chinese Gate,
besides the Keeper's Lodges in Oxburgh Wood & at the Hythe
(but the latter was taken from him, as it had been built on Charity
land by mistake). In the year of his 2nd son's birth, he planted the
"Warren Hills" which now form the continuation of the Oxburgh
Wood.

MONMOUTHSHIRE RECUSANTS, 1719

CONTRIBUTED BY JOHN HOBSON MATTHEWS

THE Process Book of the Quarter Sessions of the Peace holden in and
for the County of Monmouth in 1719 is in the Usk Sessions House. It
is a long folio paper book, bound in calf.

The names printed in roman letters, immediately under the place-
names, are those against whom proceedings were to be taken in 1719.
Those following in italics were added later, probably in the two or three
following years. The district covers only about half the county, and does
not include the town of Monmouth. The long list of convicted recusants
printed in Cath. Rec. Soc. vol. vi. contains no names belonging to this county ;
so this may be held to be supplementary, although of a later period.

OBITUARY NOTES OF ABBESS NEWSHAM OF
ST. CLARE'S ABBEY, DARLINGTON

THE present Lady Abbess of St. Clare's Abbey, Darlington, obliged me
with the loan of a letter to Frances, in religion Mother Mary Agnes
Newsham, from her mother. Born 4 Oct. 1812, she died 16 Oct.
1889, having been abbess twenty years. She was the only child of John
Newsham (brother of Monsignor Charles Newsham, D.D., the former dis
tinguished President of Ushaw College), a farmer at Everingham and
land-steward to Mr. Marmaduke William Constable-Maxwell and Sarah, dau.
of Thomas Smith, a freeholder of Howden and farmer at Everingham, by
Mary, dau. of Robert Wilson, a farmer, and Anne , his wife.

John Newsham d. 10 June 1814, and his widow subsequently mar.
William Lambert, also a farmer, the last name on the list ; the initials
" S. L." being thus accounted for as Sarah Lambert.

The letter shows that the future abbess had applied to her mother for
the dates of the deaths of her relatives that she might keep their obits
regularly.

Such obituaries are not only interesting and of genealogical value, but
are specially appropriate with the registers of Everingham in which so
many of the names appear.

The paper is endorsed in pencil " Mother M. Agnes Newsham's rela
tions." I am indebted to my cousin, Miss Mary Agnes Smith, cousin of
Abbess Newsham, for particulars of the persons named. Some of the
names appear also in the registers of the neighbouring mission of Holme
on Spalding Moor (Cath. Rec. Soc., iv.). J. S. H.

Ann Wilson Died i2th of July 1759, she was my Grandmother, a
Convert from Quakerism.

mortuary cards show that she died on 23 January 1869, aged 82.

EVERINGHAM PAPISTS, 1767

THIS list of "Papists" was printed in the Northern Genealogist, iii. 6-8,
from returns made to the Archbishop of York. The place where deposited
is not given, but in a later part of the same volume other returns are
described as " In the possession of the Archbishop of York at Bishop-
tliorpe." It was therefore doubtless made there by the late Mr. Alfred
Gibbons, a notable genealogist and antiquary, the editor of the publication.
It gives some idea of the Catholics resident in the parish of Everingham at
the time, and useful information which does not appear in the registers.

CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF ST. MARY'S DOMESTIC
CHAPEL, EVERINGHAM PARK, YORKSHIRE

CONTRIBUTED BY JOSEPH STANISLAUS HANSOM

THE Register Book, now at Somerset House, and numbered "York 105"
outside, and "44 York" inside, is a folio paper one, vellum bound, of about
360 pages, of which only 46 at the front, one of confirmations about two-
thirds of the way through, and four of marriages and deaths at the end,
reversed, are used. It is in good condition, and has been copied by me, by
permission of the Registrar-General. My thanks are also due to Mr. A. R.
Bellingham, Superintendent of Records, and his staff for their attention.
The blank-form certificate is filled in as follows in italics : —

The annexed or accompanying Book is the original Register Book of
Baptisms which has been kept for the Roman Catholic Chapel called S'
Marys, nr Pocklington, situate in the Parish of Everingham in the County
of York founded about the year a Domestic Chapel from the reign of
Edward t/ie 6th. A public Church opened in 1839. The Book sent has
been from time to time in the custody of the Clergymen for the time being,
of the Chapel ; it is sent to the Commissioners from the immediate custody
of the Clergyman of S* Mary's Church in the Parish of Everingham who
has kept it since 1814 as the appointed Pastor of the place.

Signed the seventee\n\th day of October 1840.
Matthew Newsham^ Clergyman or Officiating Minister.

Another set of Registers, in the possession of the late Lord Herries,
has been compared with those at Somerset House. They differ in some
respects, and end in 1800. They are evidently older, being written on six
and a half sheets of paper folding io| x 6 inches ; the half sheet containing
pages I and 2 being loose, the rest sewn together. They are written on all
the twenty-six pages, and there are no signatures on the first eight, but on
the ninth and following, "T. G.," "T. Gur.,'| or the fuller "T. Gurnall "
appear. The only description at the head is " Begun by John Bennet
Minister. 1771." The particulars are slightly different, and inversions of
phrase, the first reading, " Baptised John Dolman of Pocklington Son to
\Vm and Elizabeth Dolman. Godfather was Robert Dolman. Godmother
was N. Dolman Grandmother. April ye i'."

As in this case and others there are additions to and variations from
the Somerset House registers ; being of more or less importance, these
have been added in italics within circular brackets, as "(a/ Everinghani) ",
"(Nancy)" in the second baptism. The three particulars are not divided,
the first consisting of one baptism, two marriages, and one death. For
many reasons it seemed preferable to print from one register — the most
extensive.

It has been matter for regret that these registers could not be printed
during the lifetime of the late Lord Herries, our first President, who took
great interest in them, as evinced by his lending his own copy, to say
nothing of his accepting the office of first President, when the Society
consisted of only seventy members. As late as 16 April 1908, his Lordship
wrote to the contributor of this paper : —

" I am glad to hear so good an account of the progress of the
Record Society. My sister wrote to me the other day that she met
in York a few weeks ago an old lady, Miss Hunter, aged 87. The old

lady used to live near here [Everingham Park], & she said her grand-

father, named Chambers, used to ride over here for Mass every Sunday
from Cranswick. It is at least 16 miles from here. On looking over
an old baptismal register of Fr Gurnall's, I see in 1776 he baptised
at Cranswick the infant son of Thomas & E. Chambers, & in 1779 he
baptised there another son. It is rather an interesting corroboration
of her story ! "

Mr. Gillow, the Hon. Recorder, has added the following particulars of
the mission, the missioners, and its supporters in the past. — J. S. H.

The manor of Everingham, in that parish, in the division of Holme-
Beacon, East Riding of Yorkshire, three miles WNW. of Market-
Weighton, was carried by Barbara, daughter and heiress of Sir John
Sothill, to her husband Sir Marmaduke Constable, of Flamborough, whose
descendants made Everingham their principal residence till the family
became extinct in the male line upon the death of Sir Marmaduke Con
stable, 4th Bart., in July 1746, aged 64. The estates then devolved upon
his great-nephew William, 2nd son of Sir Carnaby Haggerston, Bart., and
grandson of Sir Marmaduke's sister Anne, wife of William Haggerston, son
of Sir Thomas Haggerston, of Haggerston Castle, co. Northumberland,
Bart. William Haggerston assumed the additional name of Constable,
and married, Oct. 17, 1758, Lady Winefride Maxwell, only surviving
daughter and heiress of John, Lord Maxwell, who had assumed the title
of Earl of Nithsdale upon the decease, in 1744, of his father, the attainted
5th Earl of Nithsdale and 9th Baron Herries. Upon his marriage Mr.
Haggerston-Constable assumed the additional name of Maxwell. The
Scottish barony of Herries descended to the late Marmaduke Haggerston-
Constable-Maxwell as I2th Lord Herries, who was created Baron Herries
in the United Kingdom in 1884. The Scottish barony is now held by his
elder daughter, Gwendolen, Duchess of Norfolk.

During the reign of Elizabeth the Constables temporised in matters ot
religion, but in the early years of the reign of James I. nearly all the family
were reconciled to the ancient faith, some by the Rev. James Sharpe alias
Pollard, a priest who came to the mission in Yorkshire from the English
College at Valladolid in 1604, was banished in 1607, and subsequently
became a Jesuit, and others by Fr. Richard Holtby alias Fetherston, S.J.,
including the head of the family, Sir Philip Constable, Knt., whose con
version seems to have taken place after the rest of his family, about 1612.
After this it is most probable that the chapel at Everingham was regularly
served by a priest.

From this period the family suffered intensely for their faith, both in fine
and imprisonment, and many of them devoted their lives to the service of
the Church as priests and nuns. Sir Philip died July 14, 1619. Two of his
sons entered the English College at Rome, Henry and William. The
former had been reconciled by Fr. Sharpe, and was admitted into the
college under the alias of Robinson in 1611, being then 24 years of age.
He was ordained priest in 1618, came to the mission in 1619, and no doubt
would occasionally say Mass at Everingham. William also assumed the
alias of Robinson upon entering the college in 1613 at the age of 23. He
left in 1613, but remained in Rome, and it is questionable if he became a
priest. Their nephew Robert, son of Sir Marmaduke Constable who died
in 1632, at the age of 19 entered the college at Rome in 1616 under the
alias of Salvin, subsequently became a Jesuit, and served the mission in
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire for fourteen years, dying at Liege in 1678. He
also used the alias of Tyrwhitt, the name of his paternal grandmother, the
wife of Sir Philip Constable. His elder brother Sir Philip, and his younger
brothers Michael and Marmaduke took an active part in defence of their
sovereign. Lieut.-Col. Michael, educated at Rome, was slain at Hopton
Heath ; and Captain Marmaduke, standard-bearer to the Earl of Lindsay,

262 CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF

lost his life at the battle of Edgehill. Sir Philip was created a baronet by
Charles I. in 1642, and on account of his loyalty and faith his property was
sequestrated by the Commonwealth and sold under the Act for the Sale
of Delinquents' Estates. The baronet lived to see the Restoration, dying
Feb. 25, 1664. Two of his younger sons and a daughter, Barbara, joined
the Benedictine Order. Dom Philip Constable, alias More, was a convictor
at the English College at Rome, and left in 1643 to serve in the royal army.
After the decline of the royal cause he went to Douay College to resume
his studies for the Church, and took the oath there in 1648. Eventually he
joined the Benedictines and was professed at St. Gregory's in 1660, came to
the mission in the north, probably at times serving at Everingham, and
died in 1680. The other brother, Dom Thomas Augustine Constable, born
at Eagle Castle, a residence belonging to his father in Lincolnshire, was
professed at St. Gregory's in 1649, likewise came to the mission in the
north, and no doubt occasionally said Mass at Everingham before his trans
ference to the south in 1677 and his death in 1712. Other priests in the
family who most likely occasionally served here were FF. Marmaduke,
John, and Robert Constable, S.J., who died respectively in 1750, 1740, and
1739. It is probable that shortly before the death of the first baronet, in
1664, he obtained as his chaplain —

Rev. Robert Dolman, a young priest ordained at Rome in 1658, who
left the English College for the mission in 1660. He was the eldest son
of Philip Dolman and his wife, a daughter of Sir Walter Vavasour, of
Hazlewood Castle, co. York, Bart., and he was born about 1633. His
grandparents were Sir Robert Dolman, of Pocklington, and his wife
Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Mallory, of Studley. Little of his
missionary career is known, save that he was chaplain to Sir Philip's son
and successor, Sir Marmaduke Constable, the second baronet. A priest
named "Bankes" is said to have been chaplain at Everingham a little
later. The name was evidently an alias, and may be identified with —

Rev. Nicholas Metcalfe alias Bankes, ordained priest at the English
College at Lisbon, whence he set out for the English mission, Aug. 16,
1674. He probably adopted his alias after his uncle or relative, the Rev.
Peter Metcalfe, third son of Anthony Metcalfe, gent., of Stanwick parish,
by Ellen, daughter of Robert Lambert, of Oulton, Esq., who went to
Douay College under the alias of " Bankes," thence left with the first colony
for the college at Lisbon in 1628, where he used the alias of Nelson ; was
there ordained priest in 1633, returned to Douay, and thence came to
England in 1634, finally dying in Holborn, London, Dec. 26, 1671. Mr.
Nicholas Metcalfe was on the roll of the northern infirm clergy fund
between 1674 and 1691.

Dom John Bede Potts, O.S.B., born in Northumberland, probably at
Trewhitt, in the parish of Rothbury, in 1674, was professed at the English
Benedictine Abbey at Lambspring, May 21, 1691, and after being celler-
arius, came over to the mission in 1701. He was for some little time in
York, and subsequently removed to Whenby, where he appears to have been
in 1715. Two years later, in 1717, he appears as chaplain at Everingham,
and under the Act of I George I. cap. 55, to oblige Papists to register their
names and real estates, returned an annuity of ,£10 out of Rothbury,
" settled and confirmed to me for life by Act of Parliament passed in the
reign of her late Majesty." The family had associations with Rothbury
from an early period, and was well connected. One of them, of Trewhitt,
married Ursula, daughter of Alexander Selby, of Biddleston Hall, Esq., by
Joan, daughter of Sir Ephraim Widdrington, Knt., of Ritton. Dom Bede
Potts was probably his grandson, as likewise William Potts, of Castleheads,
co. Cumberland, gent., who as a Catholic non-juror in 1717 registered
property at Rothbury of the annual value of ^124. William's wife was
Anne Charlton, of the Hesleyside family, and his son George, born in 1699,

EVERINGHAM PARK 263

after studying at Douay went to the college at Rome in 1716, but left with
out taking the oath in 1719, and returned to England. Another member of
the family, the Rev. Luke Potts alias Cooper, son of George Potts and his
wife Mary Robinson, was born at Throckley, in Northumberland, in 1717,
was ordained priest at Douay, March 21, 1744, and left the college for the
English mission, Aug. 2, 1745. He was placed at Ugthorpe, but on
Dec. i6th, during the persecution following on the raid of Prince Charles
Edward in that year, he was arrested on suspicion of being a priest, and
committed to York Castle. In 1750 he was placed in charge of Thropton,
in the parish of Rothbury, where he died, Aug. 16, 1787. His relative,
the Rev. Henry Joseph Potts, born Aug. 16, 1772, son of John Potts, and
his wife Anne Storey, of Dancing Hall, co. Northumberland, was ordained
priest at Lisbon, Dec. 16, 1795, 'e^ tne college for England Sept. 12, 1798,
and died at his home, Dec. 4, 1800.

In June 1728, Bishop Williams, V.A — N.D., made his visitation at
Everingham, and gave confirmation to forty-four persons in the chapel,
Dom Bede Potts being in charge of the mission. Shortly afterwards Sir
Marmaduke Constable went abroad, and during the time that he was re
siding on the Continent, between 1730 and 1740, kept up an interesting
correspondence with his good chaplain at home, which is still preserved at
Everingham. Dom Bede was appointed Definitor of the Province in 1721,
and received the titular dignity of Cathedral Prior of Durham in 1733. lie
continued to serve Everingham mission until his death, which occurred on
June 21, 1743, at tne age of 69. His patron, Sir Marmaduke Constable,
4th and last Bart., survived but three years, dying abroad in 1746.

Dom William Laurence Hardesty, O.S.B., is the next chaplain on record.
He was born in Middlesex in 1714. He had three paternal uncles priests —
John, born 1681, who became a Jesuit, and died in 1752 ; William, born 1683,
who was ordained priest and came to the mission from Douay in 1711, and
died at Carlton Hall, Yorkshire, in 1766 ; and Thomas, born 1686, who was
professed a Benedictine under the name of Adrian, and died at Lambspring
in 1761. They were sons of William Hardesty, of Norwood, co. Surrey,
Esq., by Mary, daughter of Thomas Tempest, of Roundhay Hall, co.
York, Esq., and relict of William Hargreaves, of Carlton, co. York,
Esq. All three used their mother's name as an alias when they went to
college, and they appear to have been born in Yorkshire. William, the
nephew, followed his uncle Dom Thomas Adrian to Lambspring, where he
was professed, April 15, 1732. After his ordination in 1738, he came to the
mission in Northumberland or Durham, whence he was transferred to
Easingwold in Yorkshire, where Snow, in his Benedictine Necrology, places
him between 1743-54, and then at Grantham before coming to Everingham.
Notwithstanding, there is evidence of his serving Everingham in 1751. Ten
years later, in 1761, he left Everingham for Spetchley Hall, co. Worcester,
the seat of the Berkeleys, and finally returned to his monastery at Lamb-
spring, where he died, Feb. 18, 1787, aged 72.

Fr. Francis (alias John Walter) Fleetwood, SJ., would appear to
have come to Everingham about 1755, for in the "Papist Returns" made to
the Archbishop of York in 1767 he is declared to be of the age of 63,
and to have been resident with Mr. William Haggerston-Constable for
the previous twelve years. Mr. Fleetwood was born in London, March 9,
1699, being the son of a gentleman in attendance on the exiled royal family
at the court of St. Germains, where he was brought up. His father was a
member of the ancient Catholic family of baronets seated at Calwich Hall
in Staffordshire. From St. Germains Francis Fleetwood was sent in 1719
to the English College at Valladolid, where he assumed the name of John
Walter Fleetwood. Soon after his ordination he came to England, and
about 1726 was appointed head-master of Twyford School, near Winchester.
Under his direction this celebrated school, where Alexander Pope, the poet,

264 CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF

had been a student, passed through its most prosperous years. About 1732
Mr. Fleetwood resigned his charge, to the great loss of the school, and left
Twyford for the mission at Paynsley Hall, co. Stafford, a seat of Lord
Langdale. Thence he went to Liege to become a Jesuit, and joined the
Society on June 30, 1735. Subsequently he returned to the mission in the
London district, apparently came to Everingham in 1755, ar>d probably
stayed till 1771, when he retired to Liege, where he died, July 10, 1774,
aged 75.

Dom John Placid Bennet, O.S.B., came to Everingham early in 1771,
and commenced the registers in March of that year. He was born in
Lancashire in 1741, and was professed at the English monastery at Dieul-
ward in 1758, became subprior, and left for the English mission in 1771.
In 1773 he returned his congregation at Everingham as numbering seventy
communicants. He remained here till the end of 17/9, or beginning of
1780, when he left for Paris to be chaplain to the English Benedictine nuns,
an office which he retained till the following year. He then returned to the
mission, and was at Lanherne in Cornwall, a seat of the Arundell family,
from 1781-3; Linley, co. Salop, the seat of the Lacons, from 1783
till his removal to Beckford, co. Gloucester, the seat of the Wakemans,
where he stayed till 1792; Hindley, near Wigan, in Lancashire, 1792-3 ; and
finally at Liverpool, 1793, t^l ms death, March I, 1795, aged 53.

Dom Thomas Jerome Marsh, O.S.B., came to Everingham in 1780, but
only stayed a short time. He was a native of Hindley, co. Lancaster, born
in 1743, was professed at Dieulward in 1761, was subprior, and then came to
the mission at Aberford, co. York, in 1780. In that year he came here, but
shortly afterwards was recalled to Dieulward, and filled the office of prior
from 1781 till 1785. He then returned to the mission, and served Tone
Hall, Northumberland, the seat of the Hodgson family, 1785-7; Beaufront,
in the same county, the seat of the Erringtons, 1787-8 ; Stockeld Park, York
shire, the seat of the Middletons, 1 788-9 ; Lawkland Hall, in the same county,
the seat of the Inglebys, 1789-90; Swinburne Castle, Northumberland, the
seat of the Riddells, 1790-5 ; Holme Hall, Yorks, the former seat of the Lords
Langdale and then of Lord Stourton, from 1795 till ms death, Feb. 16,
1798, aged 55.

Dom Thomas Adrian Gurnal, O.S.B., came to Everingham in 1781. He
was a native of London, born in 1742, professed at Lambspring in 1763, and
ordained priest in 1767. He came to the mission in Northumberland in
1774, and served Capheaton Hall, the seat of Sir Edward Swinburne, 5th
Bart., Beaufront, 1774-80, and Hesleyside, the seat of the Charltons, 1780-1,
after which he came to Everingham, and remained till his death, Jan. 5, 181 1,
aged 68. He was Definitor of the Province in 1800, and held the titular
dignity of Prior of Worcester from 1802.

Dom Edward Alban Clarkson, O.S.B., for a time served Everingham
from Holme Hall after Fr. Gurnal's death. He was born at Goosnargh,
Lancashire, in 1766, professed at Lambspring in 1787, and came to the
mission at Holme Hall in 1798, retaining the chaplaincy till his death, July
1 6, 1815, aged 49, and was there buried.

Dom Stephen Hodgson, O.S.B., became chaplain at Everingham in 1811
and remained till 1813. He was born at Pontop Hall, Durham, in 1763, and
after studying at St. Gregory's, Douay, and at Lambspring, where he was
ordained in 1788, he came to the English mission, and was at Follyfoot,
Yorkshire, 1791-5, Lawkland Hall, 1798-1800, Netherton, Lancashire, 1800-4,
Foxcote, Warwickshire, the seat of the Cannings, 1804-11, in which latter
year he came here. He did not stay very long, however, for about the end
of 1813 he removed to Woolton, Lancashire, where he died, April 9, 1816,
aged 53.

The mission was then transferred to the charge of the secular clergy in
the person of —

EVERINGHAM PARK 265

Rev. Matthew Newsham, son of Thomas Newsham, of Westby-cum-
Plumpton in the Fylde, Lancashire, who was admitted at Crook Hall,
Durham, April 29, 1802, whence in 1808 he migrated with the college to
Ushaw, where he was ordained priest, and shortly afterwards, in 1814, was
appointed to Everingham. During his incumbency a fine cruciform church,
after the plan of the Maison Dieu at Nismes, 70 ft. by 30 ft., the interior
being decorated with fluted Corinthian columns, and the altar being fashioned
in rich Italian marbles, was erected by Mr. William Haggerston-Constable-
Maxwell. It was solemnly opened on July 10, 1839. Mr. Nesvsham con
tinued to serve the mission until 1842, when he withdrew for three years on
sick leave. Meanwhile the mission was served by the Rev. J. Brown,
1842-4, and the Rev. Richard Aloysius Browne, 1844-7, the latter of whom
stayed two years after Mr. Newsham's return to Everingham in 1845. 1°
1847 the mission was transferred to the charge of the Oblates of Mary
Immaculate, and FF. Perron arid W. Walsh joined Mr. Newsham, who
continued to reside at Everingham till shortly before his death, which
occurred at Houghton Hall, the seat of the Langdales, May 20, 1848.

In 1848 Fr. Robert Cooke, O.M.I., was placed in charge, and whilst
here founded the mission of Howden. He was assisted by FF. Ambrose
Tamburini, John Noble, W. Walsh, and Peter Grey ; Fr. P. Bargy took
Fr. Grey's place in 1850. In 1851 the Fathers were — James Egan, Joseph
Arnoux, S. Walsh, and Peter Grey ; in 1852-3, Joseph Arnoux, Peter Grey,
and John Dalton ; in 1853-4, Joseph Arnoux, Charles Jolivet, and Joseph
Bargy ; in 1854-5-6, Joseph Arnoux and Pat. Hickey, in which latter year
the Oblates withdrew from the mission, and the charge was resumed by the
secular clergy as follows :—

CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF ST. ELIZABETH'S CHURCH,
RICHMOND, SURREY

CONTRIBUTED BY MISS AGNES DOLAN AND JOSEPH S. HANSOM

THE registers are in charge of the Rev. George Barrett, D.D., M.R., who
fortunately found them in a "heap of rubbish" ready to be destroyed, when
he took possession in 1901 ! The contents are now safely in print. He has
kindly allowed us to copy and collate them down to the end of Fr. Peters'
time, when they end conveniently two years after compulsory registration
of birth on I July 1837. They extend to 24 Dec. 1854.

Except for wilful excisions they are in good condition, consisting of two
books and one loose paper copy.

The first is a paper book yf by 6| inches, bound in vellum, the pagination
being given below. The first entry now extant is in 1794 ; but the first four
pages have been cut out. The Rev. Dr. Barrett throws some light on these
in his contribution to the Kingston and Richmond edition of the Shield of
January and February 1905 (Salesian Press, Battersea). Quoting from a
work entitled Anne Paule Dominique de Noailles, Marquise de Montague
(Paris, 1864) he shews that Madame la Marquise gave birth to a son on the
very day, Easter Sunday, 30 March 1793, on which the chapel was opened,
and that his baptism was the first on the registers. He was named Alex
ander, the god-parents being Monsieur le due de la Rochefoucault-Dou-
deauville and Madamoiselle Alexandrine de la Luzerne. It is not stated
whether the baptism took place on the same day.

Supposing a page was given to the title, that the statement of persons
and titles of celebrant, parents and sponsors, circumstance of exile, and
witnesses was as long as the first extant entry, occupying a page and a half,
we may perhaps assume that only few entries have been regrettably lost.

The second book is similar to the first, the paper being 7\ by 6j inches.
The first folio and the top of the second have been cut off, but the next is
numbered one ; so possibly no entries are lost. A single sheet, paged also
two and three, has been sewn on page two, and indicated in the text.

The third is a loose paper copy paged 29 to 52, size 7§ by 6| inches.
This, being the same as part of the second book, is not printed ; but some
additions or variants are given in foot-notes. The dates are from 7 Jan.
1816 to 16 July 1838.

The registers of the neighbouring mission of Cheam are printed in
C.R.S., vol. ii. Some names may recur here.

Mr. Gillow gives the following historical notes from his collections.

A. D. J. S. H.

"When, in 1501, Henry VII. had nearly rebuilt the old palace of the
Plantagenets at Sheen, he renamed it Richmond, from his Tudor earldom
of Richmond in Yorkshire, of which he was the second holder. It again
became a favourite residence of the royal family, and this, combined with
the natural beauties of the locality as well as its vicinity to London and
Westminster, induced many Catholic families of position to settle here
during the days of persecution.* Its accessibility by road or river made

* Sir Henry Bedingfeld, knight, mar. at Richmond n July 1609 Elizabeth
Howe (as queried by Mr. Bruce Bannerman, the editor), who would be Elizabeth,
dau. of Lord William Howard of Naworth Castle (Richmond Registers, Surrey Par.
Reg. Soc.}. If proof of residence, it might have been a temporary one of the bride's.
The following burials look more like proofs :

it a convenient place for priests in times of stress, and it is probable the
Sacrifice of the Mass was more regular than can be actually proved.

The Rev. George Quinton alias Brooke served here during the reign of
Charles II., and died here in 1685, his burial, as "Mr. George Brookes,"
being registered on 18 March.* He was a younger son of Joseph Quinton,
of London, where he was born in 1619. He was sent to St. (Diner's College
in his sixteenth year, and thence proceeded to the college at Rome, where
he was ordained priest, Jan. 27, 1647. He left Rome for the English mission
on the following May 4, and ultimately settled at Richmond. It would
appear that both the Jesuits and Carmelites were represented here at this
period. The only names on record are as follows : —

Fr. Charles Trevanion alias Drummond, S.J., son of Charles Trevanion,
of Caerhayes, co. Cornwall (by one of the daughters and co-heiresses of
Sir Adam Drummond), who succeeded his grandfather, Sir Charles Tre
vanion, to the Caerhayes estate. Sir Charles' son, John, espoused Mary,
sister of the first Lord Arundel of Trerice, and was slain in the royal army
before Bristol. Fr. Charles, who was born about 1668, entered the Society
of Jesus at Watten. He came to this district in 1704, and a little later is
found residing at Marshgate, Richmond. About 1724 he got into trouble
with his superiors, and for several years ceased to do missionary duty.
Eventually, in 1730, he was reconciled, and died at Marshgate, according to
the parish registers, f March 19, 1737, aged 70.

Fr. Christopher Conyers, S.J., was living "at Squire Neville's, Richmond
Green, Surrey," in 1724, and apparently continued till his death, Aug. 29,
1730, aged 61.

Fr. Richard Moore, S.J., came to Richmond in 1731 from Holy well, co.
Flint, and returned to the mission in North Wales in 1740, where he died in
1753, aged 81.

No other name of a Jesuit in Richmond has been preserved.

A small colony of French emigres obtained permission to open a chapel,
and this was accomplished on Easter Sunday, 30 March 1793. One of
their priests, the Abbe Richet, is said to have been in Richmond this year,
but whether as missioner or not, is not apparent.

When Fr. Thomas Monk came is not clear ; but the registers make it
certain that he was the missioner on 10 April 1794, when he records the
first existing baptism by the emigre Bishop of Angouleme, in his presence.
As he cannot be identified as a secular priest, it is possible that he was one
of those Discalced Carmelites who came from the noviciate at Tongres,
were ordained at Liege, and are only referred to in Carmelite records
under their religious names. In an old obituary appears the notice of the
death at Richmond on 24 March 1797 of Fr. Edward Palmer, Discalced
Carmelite, aged 46. Fr. Monk signs the last entry in the first book on
13 April of the same year. The second is started before the end of that
year by —

Rev. James Peters, who was then in charge of the mission. He followed
his brothers, Charles and Andrew, to Sedgley Park School in 1771, and
like them proceeded to Douay College in 1775, where he was admitted on
Jan. 29. There he was ordained priest in 1789, and on May 25 of that
year set out for the English mission, and was placed at Midhurst, Surrey,
where he remained till he came to Richmond.

In 1822 a new church in the Vineyard was erected in the classical style
by Miss Elizabeth Doughty. According to tradition the architect and
builders expended the enormous sum of ,£24,000 upon what was but a small
and inconvenient building. J Part of this may have been due to costly

added, and the story also? — J. S. II.

foundations, but this could not have accounted for such an extravagant
sum, and it is said that the benefactress was so disgusted with the result of
her outlay that she never re-entered the church after her first inspection.
It was opened by Bishop Poynter, V.A — L.D., on July 6, 1824, and it was
dedicated to St. Elizabeth, the patron saint of the foundress.

In 1839, owing to advancing years, Mr. Peters withdrew from the
mission, and retired to St. Leonards-on-the-Sea, where he died at All Souls,
as the temporary chapel was called, Jan. 25, 1848, aged 84.

Rev. Robert S. Hodgson replaced Mr. Peters in the Vineyard in 1839.
Mr. Hodgson went to the college at Old Hall Green in Feb. 1821, was
ordained priest on Sept. 19, 1829, and was retained on the professorial staff
till 1831. He served in London, finally at Hammersmith, whence he came
to Richmond. Here he remained till 1848, then went to Golden Square, in
1850 to Southwark, 1851 to Weybridge, 1855 to Woolhampton, and 1869 to
Upper Holloway, till death, Dec. 27, 1871.

Rev. John Baptist Hearn, 1848-51, assisted by Rev. Henry Rymer
1848-50, Rev. J. G. Wenham 1850, Revv. Robt. S. Hodgson again, Sebas
tian Faenza, and Wm. MacHarron during Jan.-Aug. 1851.

Rev. John Tilt, who had been educated at Sedgley Park and Old Hall,
whence he came on the mission in 1839, was at Sheerness till 1842, Canter
bury till 1846, and Tichborne till 1851, when he came to Richmond. He
remained till 1856, when he retired in ill-health and died at Norwood,
Sept. 10, 1859.

Rev. John Bernard Bagshawe came in 1856. He was ordained priest
at Oscott, March 15, 1851, and had been Chaplain to the Forces during the
Crimean War, 1854-6. In 1882 he received the honorary degree of D.D.,
and in 1887 became a member of the Southwark Chapter. He was the
author of The Threshold of the Church, and other well-known works. At
one period it was intended to have raised him to the episcopacy. He
remained here till his death, Oct. 31, 1901.

THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF THE DOMESTIC
CHAPEL AT CALLALY CASTLE, NORTHUMBER
LAND, 1796-1839

CONTRIBUTED BY THE REV. MATTHEW CULLEY AND MR.
FRANCIS MCININLY

CALLALY CASTLE, in the parish of Whittingham, a seat of the ancient
Barons of Warkworth, in Northumberland, and Clavering, in Essex, was
granted to a younger son, Sir Alan de Clavering, about the reign of
Edward I., and continued the residence of his descendants until the family
became extinct in the male line, upon the death of the late Edward John
Clavering, in 1876, when the estate passed to his daughter and sole heiress,
Augusta Lucy, who married in 1859 the late Sir Henry George Paston-
Bedingfeld, 7th Bart., of Oxburgh Hall, co. Norfolk. The Claverings were
staunch to the ancient faith, and equally so to the royal cause, and hence
suffered the usual penalties of fine, imprisonment, and even death. Sir John
Clavering, Knt., in the quaint language of the Visitation of 1666, ob. a". 22 Rx.
Caroli I. [1646-7] in carcere pro firma fide erga dictum Carolum in London,
and his eldest son, Col. Sir Robert Clavering, Knt. banneret, who raised at
his own expense two regiments of horse and foot, besides some extra troops
of dragoons, ob. in exercitu Rx. a". 19 Car. I. [i 643-4] patre invente et Calebs ,
at. 26 annor. Sir John's fourth son, Thomas, was admitted into the Eng
lish College at Rome in 1649, under the alias of Conyers, was ordained
priest, and became chaplain to the Benedictine nuns at Pontoise, where he
died in 1694, aged 68. Ralph, the third son, and Sir John's successor, also
zealously espoused the royal cause, suffered imprisonment, and was forced
beyond the seas, but eventually returned with Charles II. There is a
tradition that there was always a domestic chapel within the castle, but
the names of the earlier chaplains, if any, have not been preserved. Those
on record are as follows :

Rev. Arthur Salthouse alias John Nateby, a member of a family which
long kept the Saltcoathouse near Lytham, in the Fylde. He took the
college oath at Douay in 1637, and in due course was sent to the mission in
the north. He was serving at Callaly in 1647.

Fr. George Thomas Gibson, O.P., came as chaplain to Ralph Clavering
in 1686, and in the following year, on Aug. 16, Bishop Leyburne confirmed
282 persons in the chapel at Callaly. Fr. Gibson withdrew to Stonecroft,
Hexham, in 1693.

Fr. Henry Widdrington, S.J., born 1668, a younger son of William,
second Lord Widdrington, of Widdrington Castle, co. Northumberland,
apparently came to reside with his brother-in-law, John Clavering, whose
wife, Anne, was Lord Widdrington's daughter, about the opening of the
i8th century. He remained at Callaly till his death, Nov. 16, 1729, aged 61.
Shortly before, in the same year, Bishop Williams made his visitation and
confirmed 89 in the castle chapel.

Fr. William Kingsley, S.J.,of Ellingham Hall, a seat of the Haggerstons,
succeeded Fr. Widdrington in 1729, but probably served the two missions,
as he is said to have died at Ellingham in 1734.

Fr. Robert Petre, S.J., was soon afterwards appointed to the chaplaincy,
and was here in 1732-3, but removed to Hopcar, Bedford Leigh, co. Lan
caster, the seat of the Sale family, in 1733-4.

Fr. Robert Turner, S.J., succeeded, and was still here in 1736.

Fr. Ignatius George Kingsley alias George Clayton, S.J., succeeded

319

320 CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF

Fr. Turner and removed to Haggerston Castle, the seat of Sir Carnaby
Ilaggerston, Bart., about 1742. He was followed by —

Fr. John Darell, S.J., during whose chaplaincy the foundation-stone of
the existing chapel at Callaly Castle was laid by the squire of the period,
bearing the following inscription : An. Sal: MDCCL. Rodul: Clavering
posuit. This was the year of Jubilee, 1750, and Fr. Darell sent to his
superiors the following report of his mission :

"My salary from this place is ^10. los. per annum . . . Mortuaries and
other perquisites £i\. The number of my customers [congregation'],
including all ages, about two hundred and eighty. Of my own gaining
[converts} about half a dozen."

In Sept., 1752, Fr. Darell was appointed rector of St. Omer's College, and
his place at Callaly was taken by —

Fr. Joseph Walmesley alias Plessington, S.J., born in 1715, a grandson
of John Walmesley (ancestor of the Westwood family, and younger son of
Richard Walmesley, of Sholley Hall, co. Lancaster, Esq.) and his wife
Margaret, daughter of William Plessington, of Dimples Hall, Esq. He
adopted the alias of Catesby when he went to Valladolid in 1733, but was
always known as Plessington on the mission. He had previously been at
Oxburgh Hall, co. Norfolk, the seat of Sir Henry Arundell Bedingfeld,
Bart. During his time, in July, 1773, Bishop William Walton gave confirma
tion to 20 1 persons in the castle chapel. After many apostolical labours he
grew weakish, zealously crazy, objected to Mrs. Clavering riding on Sundays,
and retired early in 1774 to Alnwick, where he lived with Mr. Strickland,
and died in 1781. He was succeeded by —

Fr. Joseph Earpe alias Dunn, S.J., who arrived from Liege shortly
before May, 1774, and left for Preston in April, 1776. His apparent successor
was —

Fr. Joseph Closette, S.J., who, according to Foley, came about 1779. He
left in Sept., 1781, for Wardour Castle, the seat of Lord Arundell, where he
was killed by a fall from his horse in the following month. He was the last
Jesuit to fill the chaplaincy at Callaly. He was succeeded by —

Rev. Thomas Storey, son of John Storey, of Northumberland, and his
wife Frances Selby, born about 1738. He was apparently younger brother
of Dom John Joseph Storey, O.S.B., who died in 1799. He commenced
his course at Douay College on Oct. I, 1752, and having been ordained
priest in 1764 was sent in that year to teach at St. Omer's College, then
conducted by the secular clergy. Thence he came to Callaly, but in 1786
left for Hexham, and died whilst on a visit to Newcastle, Feb. 2, 1795,
through fright on being attacked by some women whilst returning home
after supping with Sir John Lawson.

The cause of Mr. Storey's departure from Callaly was the state of em
barrassment into which the then squire, Ralph Clavering, had got his affairs,
which obliged him to break up his establishment and sojourn abroad. This
was occasioned partly by burdens left by his father, and partly through the
poverty of the relations of his own three wives. Hence his brother Nicholas,
then in charge of the mission at Old Elvet in Durham, came to Callaly as
chaplain and general manager of his brother's affairs.

Rev. Nicholas Clavering, son of Ralph Clavering, Esq., by Mary, daughter
of Nicholas Stapleton, of Carlton and Ponteland, Esq., was admitted into
Douay College, Aug. 19, 1739, and like his brother Ralph passed under the
name of Stapleton. Ralph, born in 1727, came in third class rudiments
from St. Omer's College, Sept. 21, 1741, and left Douay, July 5, 1747.
Nicholas was ordained priest in Dec., 1752, and left the college for the
English mission on Aug. 8, 1753. It does not appear where he was first
stationed, but in 1759 he succeeded Mr. Thomas Chambers at Clifife Hall,
and in 1768 he replaced Bishop Maire as incumbent of Old Elvet. He was
a capitular, and was elected archdeacon, Oct. 16, 1770. He was also agent

CALLALY, NORTHUMBERLAND 321

of the clergy in Bishopric and Northumberland, an office which he resigned
when he went to Callaly Castle in Oct., 1786. He was also grand-vicar to
Bishop 1'etre in the northern district. His brother Ralph died in 1788,
some time after which he went to assist Fr. Ralph Hoskins, S.J., at Brough
Hall, and stayed on after his death till Aug., 1794, and subsequently joined
the English Benedictine nuns from Dunkirk at Hammersmith, where he died,
Oct. 18, 1805. It is not certain when he ceased to serve Callaly, but the
first entry in the registers was signed by the French emigre —

Rev. Nicholas Alain Gilbert, who came over to England in 1792, and
having served at Berrington and Pontop Hall came here for awhile in 1796,
and commenced the registers. Upon leaving he appears to have gone to
Wooler, and thence to Whitby, whence he returned to France in 1815.

Rev. Thomas Stout was sent to Sedgley Park School in 1777, whence he
proceeded to Douay College, where he was admitted Sept. 4, 1780, ordained
priest in 1792, appointed prefect general, and was imprisoned with the rest
of the collegians during the Revolution till liberated Feb. 25, 1795. He
then came over to England and was placed with the Rev. J. Griffiths at
St. George's Fields chapel, Southwark, and thence came to Callaly Castle
in 1796. Upon the removal of Mr. Robert Hemsworth from Thropton, Mr.
Stout was appointed to that mission, where he arrived Sept. 23, 1797, and
remained till his death, July 26, 1828, aged 62, being buried in front of the
altar-rails of his chapel. Whilst at Thropton he established the first mission
at Carlisle in 1798. He was succeeded at Callaly by —

Rev. Thomas Gillow, born 1769, fourth son of Richard Gillow, of Single
ton, co. Lancaster, was sent to Douay College in May, 1784, and during the
Revolution was permitted with the rest to withdraw to Esquerchin, Aug. 9,
1793, whence he returned to the college at Douay on Oct. u and made his
escape on the following day. In November he arrived back home, and
in December went to the college at Old Hall, Herts, whence he removed to
Crook Hall, Durham, in Dec., 1794. There he was ordained priest, Apr. I,
1797, and after remaining at the college as a professor for four months, was
appointed to the chaplaincy at Callaly Castle, where he arrived Aug. 23,
1797. On Sept. 4, 1809, Bishop William Gibson confirmed 49 in the castle
chapel. In 1817 Mr. Gillow was elected by the Holy See vicar-apostolic of
the West Indies, with the title of Bishop of Hypsopoli in partibus infidelinut,
and his appointment was approved by his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent. Mr. Gillow, however, declined the episcopacy through motives of
health. On June u, 1821, he left Callaly to take possession of the new
mission at North Shields, where the chapel had just been erected by his
cousin the Rev. James Worswick. Three days later Mr. Gillow preached
the opening sermon. There he remained till his death, March 19, 1857,
aged 87. Whilst at Callaly, in 1807, he published "Catholic Principles of
Allegiance Illustrated," and subsequently printed "A Sermon," several con
troversial lectures, and "A Letter to the Rev. Wm. Hendry Stowell on the
Rule of Faith," North Shields, 1830, 8vo.

Rev. Edward Crane succeeded, 1821-4, and during his time, on June 13,
1823, Bishop Smith confirmed 50 in the chapel. He then went to Bishop
Wearmouth 1825-34, supplied at Callaly again for a time in 1829, St.
Patrick's, Manchester, 1834-5, Kilvington, near Thirsk, 1835-59, being
appointed a canon of Beverley in 1853, and died Feb. 28, 1861.

Rev. Andrew Macartney, born about 1789, served his country during
the Peninsular war as an officer in the commissariat department, and at the
age of thirty became a convert to the faith. In 1820 he went to Ushaw
College to study for the Church, was ordained priest in 1824, and left the
college to take Mr. Crane's place at Callaly. This he exchanged for Lea,
Lancashire, of which he took charge on Jan. 10, 1826, but only remained
thirty-four days, when he was succeeded by the Rev. Richard Albot on
Feb. 14. Thence he went to Sheffield, as assistant to the Rev. Richard

Rimmer, upon whose death in 1828 he succeeded to the charge of that
important mission. He remained there till about the end of 1829, when he
went to assist the Rev. James Fisher at Ashton-under-Lyne and Dukin-
field, where he continued till 1833. His subsequent career was at Belling-
ham and Hesleyside, Northumberland, 1833-4; Crathorne, Yorkshire, 1834-6;
and Osmotherley, Yorkshire, 1836. About the end of the latter year he
returned to Callaly till 1838; then removed to Great Eccleston in the Fylde
till Aug., 1839; chaplain at York Bar Convent, 1839 till Feb., 1841 ; St.
Patrick's, Manchester, as chaplain to public institutions in the city, but
went to reside in Salford in 1842 ; thence to Egton Bridge, Yorkshire,
1844-52 ; then went to reside at Grosmount, York, till 1857 ; Bishop
Thornton, Yorkshire, 1857-9 ; in which latter year he retired to Ushaw
College as aconvictor; Ellingham, Northumberland, 1860 till 1873 (with the
exception of an interval of retirement in 1866-7), when he finally withdrew
from missionary life to Ushaw College, where he died after a painful illness,
Jan. 27, 1874, aged 84.

Rev. Walter Maddocks, another Ushaw priest, succeeded Mr. Macartney
at Callaly in Jan., 1826, but left in 1827, after which he served at Sunder-
land, Ashton in the Willows, &c., and finally died in retirement at Smeth-
wick, near Birmingham, April 15, 1869.

Rev. Nicholas Brown succeeded, 1827-33, but during his term the chap
laincy was temporarily served by Rev. Edward Crane, previously mentioned,
1829, Rev. Thomas Middlehurst, a Lisbon priest, 1830, and Rev. James
Albot, supplying from Thropton, 1833. Mr. Brown's subsequent career
was at Longhorsley, 1833-4 ; Hesleyside, 1834, till he erected the chapel and
presbytery designed by Bonomi at Bellingham in 1839 ; Wigton, Cumber
land, 1851-65, being elected canon of Hexham in 1855 ; Carmel House,
Darlington, 1865-74 ; St. Peter's, Constitution Street, Aberdeen, 1874-5 >
retired 1875; Carmel House again, 1875-7; retired 1877, till death in the
Isle of Man, Aug. 31, 1878.

Rev. Joseph Richard Curr, son of John Curr, of Belle Vue, Sheffield,
was sent to Sedgley Park School in 1802, and thence to Crook Hall, Dur
ham, where he arrived July 27, 1806. He was ordained at Ushaw, and
was appointed assistant to the Rev. Rowland Broomhead at Manchester.
He subsequently served Stockton-on-Tees, 1822-6, and Ashton-in-Maker-
field, 1826-30, then retired to the monastery of La Trappe in France, and
afterwards to Ushaw College, till his appointment to Callaly in 1833. Here
he remained till 1837, when he was transferred to Sheffield, his native town.
In 1839 he removed to Blackburn, and in 1842 to Whitby. When the
epidemic of typhus fever broke out in Leeds, Mr. Curr offered his services,
and went to St. Anne's, where he fell a martyr of charity to the terrible
scourge, was removed to Huddersfield, and there died, July i, 1847. Mr.
Curr's pen was constantly engaged in controversy, and whilst at Callaly,
amongst other pamphlets, published "An Address to all Sincere Protestants
in Coquetdale and Whittingham Vale," and "The Fox and the Goose; or,
a Comico-serio Address to the Good People of Whittingham."

Rev. Andrew Macartney, as previously related, resumed the chaplaincy
1836-8.

Rev. Charles Brigham, born 1802, son of William Brigharn, of Brigham
Hall, co. York, Esq., went to Stonyhurst College, Oct. 12, 1814, and after
completing his classical studies passed through a full course of natural
philosophy, ethics, and theology under some of the ablest professors of the
Society of Jesus in Italy, France, and Switzerland. In due course Mr.
Brigham was ordained priest, but abandoning his association with the Jesuits,
he was placed at Congleton, Cheshire, 1831-3 ; Bolton, Lancashire, 1833-4 ;
Kilvington, 1834 ; St. Patrick's, Leeds, 1834-5 ; Blackbrook, Lancashire,
1836; Sheffield, 1836-7; and became chaplain at Callaly in succession to
Mr. Macartney in 1838. After a short stay he left Callaly and subsequently

CALLALY, NORTHUMBERLAND 323

went to King's Lynn, Norfolk, 1839-40, where he wrote "The Enormities
of the Confessional, as put forth by the expelled Student of Maynooth
College, briefly examined, and the student himself exhibited in his true
character," London (1839), I2mo. In 1840 he was presented by Edw.
Riddell, Esq., of Cheeseburn Grange, to the mission of Dodding Green,
near Kendal, which gave rise to a long dispute with the bishop as to Mr.
Riddell's rights. Whilst here he erected a tasteful addition to the rectory,
bearing his initials and the date 1840, and he also raised the ceiling of
the little chapel, which he decorated and ornamented. He remained at
Dodding Green till 1858, when chancery proceedings were taken. He
then went to the Monastery of Mount St. Bernard in Leicestershire for a
spiritual retreat, and either there or in some other monastery he made an
edifying end.

Rev. William Henderson, born 1808, ordained priest at Ushaw, Dec. 17,
1836, supplied temporarily after Mr. Brigham's departure in 1838. He was
at Dukinfield, Cheshire, 1836-40 ; Birkenhead, 1840-6 ; Yealand, Lanca
shire, 1846-87 ; and then retired to Lytham, where he died, Jan. 30, 1893,
aged 84.

Rev. Joseph T. Howard came from Biddleston in 1838, withdrew in ill-
health in 1839, and died June 7, 1840.

Rev. Thomas Ord, a Northumbrian, ordained priest at Ushaw in 1839,
succeeded Mr. Howard in that year. He remained here till 1866, when he
removed to Thropton, and remained there till his death of gangrene of the
foot, Oct. 7, 1900, aged 88. He was a strong character, and was a justice
of the peace for his county for many years.

Rev. Patrick Thomas Mathews, ordained priest at Ushaw, Sept. 20,
1862, was first at Houghton-le-Spring, and then at Durham, 1862-5;
Easington, 1865-6 ; succeeded Mr. Ord at Callaly, 1866-7 > Sacriston,
1867-9 ; Burnopfield, Newcastle, 1869-79 ; St. Joseph's, Gateshead, 1879-94;
Cheeseburn Grange, 1894 till death April 5, 1899.

Rev. Matthew William Gibson succeeded Mr. Mathews in 1867-71.

Rev. James Farrell, 1871-2.

Rev. Aloysius Hosten, 1872-3.

Rev. Joseph Arquis, 1874.

Rev. James Stark, 1875-7.

Rev. William Gillow, born Jan. 6, 1835, second son of Joseph Gillow, of
Ribby and Preston, Esq., J.P., went to Ushaw with his brother John, Nov.
19, 1846, and was ordained priest, Sept. 21, 1861. He was at Hutton House,
Castle Eden, 1861-6 ; Wolsingham, 1866-9, during which time he opened
the mission at Tow Law in 1867 and served it from Wolsingham ; North
Shields, 1869-73 ; and Barnard Castle, 1873-7. After the Clavering estate
was sold by Lady Bedingfeld to Major Brown in the latter year, Mr. Gillow,
a grand-nephew of the Rev. Thomas Gillow, who was chaplain here 1797-
1821, was appointed to the mission with the intention of transferring it
to the village of Whittingham. Mr. Gillow, however, was in a very bad
state of health at the time, and was unable to do more than remove the
fittings and furniture of the castle chapel to temporary premises in the
village. Early in the following year he was obliged to retire from missionary
work on sick leave. He and his brother, the Very Rev. Henry Canon
Gillow, were the last priests to say Mass in the old chapel at Callaly Castle.
In 1879 Mr Gillow took charge of the mission of Berwick-on-Tweed, where
he remained till his death, Nov. 30, 1880, and was interred at St. Ninian's,
Woolen

After Mr. Gillow's withdrawal from Callaly Castle, the mission remained
vacant until a site was obtained from the Earl of Ravensu-orth, the ex
pense of the chapel and presbytery being defrayed by Sir Henry and Lady
Bedingfeld, who also provided for the maintenance of the fabric and resident
priest. The chapel, in the Norman style, was finished in Feb., 1881, and on

324 CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF

March 1st of that year the Rev. C. Jckcnroth took charge of the mission.
The fine stained-glass window over the high altar was the gift of Mrs.
Clavering, who died Feb. 13, 1881, at Tynemouth. She also left ^600 for
the benefit of the mission. The succeeding incumbents are as follows :

Rev. Patrick Walsh, 1882-8.

Rev. William Taylor, 1888-1900.

Rev. Henry Cartmell, 1900-1903.

Rev. Matthew Culley, 1903-7.

Rev. James Thompson, 1907 to date.

When the estate of Callaly was sold in 1877 the principal furniture and
ornaments of the chapel were carefully preserved, and on the completion of
St. Mary's Church at Whittingham, were removed there. A silver chalice
has the date 1671, with the inscription, " Memento Jancc et Marice Clavcr-
ing" ; this piece of plate, together with a monstrance of probably the same
period, bears the Clavering crest. An ancient representation of the Cruci
fixion, which is said to have originally come from the parish church at
Whittingham, and which on the dismantling of Callaly Chapel went to
Oxburgh, has been recently presented to St. Mary's, Whittingham, by
Augusta, Lady Bedingfeld, sole daughter and heiress of the late Mr.
Clavering of Callaly. I am indebted for the account of the chaplaincy to
Mr. Gillow, and for some facts to the Rev. Matthew Culley of Coupland
Castle, who had for a time charge of the mission at Whittingham, and
caused a copy to be transcribed of the Callaly register. The Rev. James
Thompson has collated the proofs with the original which is in his custody.

In the original the date of the Baptism is noted regularly in the margin,
opposite the entry. This has been here omitted. In very many cases a
further marginal note gives the locality of the parents' home. This note
has been enclosed in square brackets and transferred to the body of the
entry. C. J. S. S.

CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF THE DOMESTIC CHAPEL
AT SLINDON HOUSE AND ST. RICHARD'S CHURCH,
SLINDON, SUSSEX

CONTRIBUTED BY MAJOR SKEET

THE Slindon registers, contained in a paper book 10} by S£ inches, bound in
leather, appear to have been transcribed from an older one 8 by 6£ inches
in vellum, and from numerous scraps of paper, most of which are still
preserved at Slindon. They seem to have been copied by a scribe under
the Rev. John White at the end of 1823 or beginning of 1824, the entries
after his arrival being in the same hand, whilst his signature is quite differ
ent. The Rev. Joseph Silveira evidently made all the entries from his first
on 16 Aug. 1829. My transcript was made by permission of the Rev. James
Duggan from the later book, which includes the loose paper notes, not in
the earlier one, but it has been compared with both, and finally Mr. Alex
ander Johnston has corrected it. Mr. Gillow kindly supplies the following
historical sketch. F. J. A. S.

" Slindon, an appendage to Pagham, was granted to the see of Canter
bury by King Cedwall, A.D. 680, and subsequently became an archiepiscopal
residence. Cardinal Stephen Langton died here July 9, 1228. Archbishop
Winchelsey held an ordination in his chapel at Slindon in 1298, and many
historical epistles were dated hence by various occupants of the see. In the
reign of Elizabeth, the estate was obtained by Anthony Kempe, whose first
wife was Anne, daughter and coheiress of John, Baron Conyers of Hornby,
by Maud, daughter of Henry Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, (by whom he had
a son Henry, who died sine prole,) and his second, Mary, daughter of Sir
Edward Gage, K.B., of Firle Place, co. Sussex, by whom he had three sons
and two daughters. Anthony Kempe was the second son of Sir William
Kempe, of Ollantigh, in the parish of Wye, co. Kent, whose ancestor Peter
Kempe, of Wye, in 1344-5, was the second son of John Kempe through his
marriage with a daughter of the house of Nevill, barons Nevill of Raby.
One of Peter's grandsons was the famous Cardinal John Kempe, successively
archbishop of York and Canterbury, born 1380, died 1454, by whom Slindon
was occupied in his latter capacity. Either Anthony Kempe or his son
and successor, Sir Garret Kempe, rebuilt the mansion, and alterations
and additions were made by later inheritors, but traces of the ancient
palace still exist. Sir Garret married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward
Caryll, of Warnham, co. Sussex, and had four sons, all of whom died in
their father's lifetime. The eldest, John, ob.s.p. ; the second, Philip,
married Frances, daughter of Sir John Webb, of Odstock, co. Wilts, and
left a daughter and heiress, Catherine, wife of Thomas Eyre, of Hassop
Hall, co. Derby, Esq.; the third, Thomas, likewise left an only daughter,
Mary, wife of George Heneage, of Hainton Hall, co. Lincoln, ancestor of
Lord Heneage ; and the fourth, Garret, had a son, Anthony, and a daughter,
Martha, a Benedictine nun professed at the English convent at Ghent,
April 18, 1661. Anthony married his cousin Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas
Gage, of Firle, Bart., and had several sons, of whom Anthony succeeded to
the estates, and Henry, born in 1672, became a Jesuit and died in 1737.
Anthony, the son, was twice married, first to Anne, daughter of Henry,
jth Viscount Montagu, and secondly to Jane, daughter of the Hon. Charles
Stourton, and sister of Charles, I4th Lord Stourton. His daughter and

eventual sole heiress, Barbara, married in the chapel at Slinclon House
in 1749 James Bartholomew Kadcliffe, commonly called Lord Kynnaird,
nephew of the unfortunate third and last earl of Derwentwater, who suc
ceeded his maternal grandfather as third earl of Newburgh, and died at
Slindon in 1786. He was followed by his son, Anthony James Radcliffe,
fourth earl of Newburgh, born at Slindon in 1757 and died there s.p. in
1814. The tatter's widow continued to reside at Slindon till her death in 1861,
and was buried in the church of St. Richard at Chichester, of which she
was the principal founder. The estate passed to Lord Newburgh's cousin,
Francis Eyre, of Hassop Hall, whose father and namesake, of Warkworth
Castle and Hassop Hall, married Mary Frances Gulielma, daughter of
Charles Radcliffe, brother of the last earl of Derwentwater, by his wife the
Countess of Newburgh, daughter and heiress of the second ea.rl of New
burgh, Viscount Kynnaird, and Baron Livingstone. Francis Eyre then
assumed the title of Earl of Newburgh, which upon his death in 1827 was
likewise assumed by his eldest son Thomas Eyre, and after his death s.p.,
in 1833, by his younger brother Francis Eyre, who died in 1852. The
estates and the claim to the title then passed to their sister, Mary Dorothea
Eyre, who had married in 1836 Colonel Charles Leslie, twenty-sixth baron
of Balquhain, of Fetternear, co. Aberdeen. The soi-disant Countess died
in 1853 without issue, and the Slindon, Hassop, and other estates were
enjoyed by her husband till his death at Slindon in 1870, and are now held
by his son Charles Stephen Leslie, twenty-seventh baron of Balquhain, of
Balquhain and Fetternear.

Throughout penal times the chapel in Slindon House was continuously
served by a priest. During the worst days of persecution Mass was said in
a secret chamber under the roof. Later the chapel was on the first floor,
with an arched roof, and in close proximity were three priest's hiding-places.
The last to occupy one of these holes was Fr. Joseph Molyneux, S.J., who
thus eluded arrest upon a search being made for him by order of a magis
trate during a temporary outburst of ' No Popery' fever. The site for a new
chapel and cemetery was given by Colonel Leslie, and the foundation-stone
of the present chapel, dedicated to St. Richard, was laid by Dr. Grant, bishop
of Southwark, on Sept. 7, 1865. It is gothic in style, and accommodates
about 300.

The following names of the priests at Slindon are the only ones that
have been traced.

Fr. Anthony Bruning alias Hyde, S.J., born 1636, younger son of
Anthony Bruning, of Wymering, co. Hants, Esq., and his second wife
Mary, daughter of Francis Hyde, of Pangbourne, co. Berks, Esq., entered
the Society in 1660. He was stationed at Slindon in 1689, but when he
came or how long he remained is not known. He died in London in 1704.

Fr. Henry Kempe, S.J., born 1672, son of Anthony Kempe, of Slindon,
Esq., and his wife Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Gage, of Firle, Bart.,
assumed the ancient Sussex family name of Gilderidge when he entered the
English College at Rome in 1690. He entered the Society at Watten in 1691.
After coming to the mission he served here for some years, and it was
possibly he who commenced the registers in 1698. In 1717 he had re
moved to Wootton Wawen, co. Warwick, where he died in 1737.

Fr. William Lane, S.J., born in Norfolk, Jan. 30, 1671-2, was ordained

Eriest at St. Alban's College, Valladolid, April 22, 1699, and left the college
)r the mission, but entered the Society on the following July 24th. He
served Padwell, near Southampton, for a long period from about 1709.
Apparently it was after this that he came to Slindon. He was declared
rector of the Hants district in 1738. He died at Winchester in 1752.

Fr. Thomas Kingsley, S.J., born in Cheshire in 1705, son of George
Kingsley, Esq., of Westminster, and of Ormsby in Yorkshire, entered the
Society in 1723, came from Bromley Hall, Essex, the seat of the Mannock

SLINDON, SUSSEX 355

family, and was certainly here in 1761, apparently leaving about 1765, when
he removed to the London district, where he died in 1781.

Fr. Joseph Molyneux alias Tickle, S.J., born 1731, son of Richard Moly-
neux, of Alt Grange, co. Lancaster, and grandson of Richard Molyneux, of
Alt Grange, gent., and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Tickle, of
Ince Blundell, gent. Fr. Molyneux entered the Society in 1752, and came
to Slindon in 1765 from Bodney Hall, co. Norfolk, the seat of the Tasburgh
family. He remained here till his death, Sept. 3, 1778, aged 47.

Fr. Richard Reeve alias Haskey, S.J., born in 1740, son of Richard
Reeve, of Island Hill, co. Warwick, came from Salford Hall in that county,
the seat of the Stanford family. He was the first priest to sign the registers,
commencing on Jan. 7, 1780, and ending on April 23, 1782. The date of his
removal does not appear, but about this time the Society, owing to its
temporary suppression, found difficulty in supplying the chaplaincy, and
the secular clergy were requisitioned, the first to sign the registers being —

Rev. Joseph Anson, born in London, June 10, 1753, son of Joseph Anson
and his wife Mary Blackburne, was sent to Sedgley Park School, and
registered Oct. 29, 1763, under the name of Ha?ison, which was probably
the original orthography of the name, the family having removed from
Lancashire to London, where the Cockney pronunciation would be Anson.
From Sedgley Park he was transferred to Douay College, where he arrived
July 15, 1767, and was sent to the preparatory school at Esquerchin. He
returned to the college on the following Oct. 31, and after his ordination in
1781 came to the English mission. Where he was first stationed is not
recorded, but he signs the registers at Slindon Jan. 21, I785~june II, 1786.
Judging from the registers, Mr. Anson would seem to have left in the latter
year. Later he was at Weston Underwood. He died Dec. 3, 1827, aged 74.

Rev. William Pierrepoint alias Poole, born in Lancashire, Aug. 9, 1753,
son of James Pierrepoint and his wife Anna Maria Lowe, probably niece of
Mrs. Eccleston, of Eccleston Hall, seems to have succeeded. There would
appear to be some mystery about him, as he entered Sedgley Park School
in 1769 under the name of Poole, and thence went under the same name to
Douay College, where he arrived Feb. 24, 1771. He was probably a Pierre-
point of Holbeck Hall, co. Notts, of the ducal house of Kingston, to whom
the estate belonged. The chapel in Holbeck Hall had long been served by
the Jesuits, but in later times, after the deaths of two Catholic ladies of the
Pierrepoint family, Holbeck was attended once a month from Spinkhill,
co. Derby, the seat of the Poole (or Pole) family. It is possible that this
circumstance, or more probably some family connection, was the origin of
William Pierrepoint's assumption of the name of Poole. He became an
alumnus at Douay in his second year's theology, Dec. 8, 1779 (being entered
under his real name), and according to the Rev. R. G. Davis' brief memoir
was ordained priest in 1781, at the age of 28. The Douay Lists make him
commence the scholastic year as a minor-professor Oct. I, 1782, and ap
parently leave the college in 1783, as his name disappears from the next
year's opening list. He signs the registers at Slindon in Dec., 1786-Jan.,
1787. Subsequently he took charge of the mission at Cowes in the Isle of
Wight, where he arrived in 1811 and remained till his death, Feb. 15, 1828,
aged 74. His position and career at Cowes was most unusual for a priest
to occupy before the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act. In 1816
Cowes, by Act of Parliament, obtained the benefits of local self-government
under a body of commissioners who were appointed for life. Amongst them
was the Rev. William Pierrepoint, and according to the minute books he
was not only a very active member, but would appear to have fulfilled also
the duties of Town Surveyor. He retained his position till his death, and
on the occasion of his funeral the chapel was crowded to excess by persons
of all religious professions. His portrait still hangs in the presbytery at
Cowes.

Fr. Leonard Brooke, S.J., born 1750, apparently came in 1787 or 1788,

6th Lord Arundell of Wardour, and her son James Everard-Arundell suc
ceeded as 9th Baron Arundell in 1803. By indult of Benedict XIV., Philip
Wyndham was admitted into the English College at Rome Nov. 14, 1744,
was ordained priest March 13, and left the college on May 5, 1756. He

the Rev. Francis Hinde as confessarius at Bruges Convent O.S.A., where
he remained till 1772. In that year he succeeded the Rev. Edmund Win-
stanley as chaplain to the Duke of Norfolk at Worksop Manor, and retained

Lady Mary Forbes, daughter of the Earl of Granard. Fr. Leslie, who was
educated at the Scots College, Paris, was excluded from the succession to
the Balquhain barony and estates through being in holy orders. He re
turned to Scotland upon his father's death in 1777, but in that year or in
1780 took charge of the mission of Market Rasen, in Lincolnshire, where
he stayed till 1793, when he came to Slindon as chaplain to Anthony, Earl
of Newburgh. Here he remained till 1797, when he went to be chaplain to
the Earl of Shrewsbury at Grafton Manor, co. Worcester. In 1806 he left
Grafton Manor to succeed his younger brother, Fr. Charles Leslie, S.J., at
Oxford. In 1812 he became chaplain to Peter Middleton, of Stockeld Park,
co. York, and died there, Aug. 5, 1816, aged 74. He received the honour of

which he served, whilst occasionally supplying at Burton Park, Petworth,

Sardinian chapel in London, and succeeded Mr. Bowland here in 1821. In
1824 he was appointed chaplain to the I2th Duke of Norfolk at Arundel
Castle, and there found the leisure to devote to historical and antiquarian
research for which his name is famous. He became the first canon peni
tentiary of Southwark in 1852, and died at Arundel, Feb. 19, 1862, aged 66.

CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF THE DOMESTIC CHAPEL
AT WATERPERRY MANOR HOUSE, OXON, AND ST.
CLEMENT'S CHURCH, OXFORD, 1701 7-1834

CONTRIBUTED BY JOSEPH STANISLAUS HANSOM

THE registers are contained in two books. The first is a common penny
paper note-book in a marbled paper cover, ready to fall off from age and
use, 6Jf by 4 inches, the pagination being given below. The entries as far
as the year 1756 seem to be made from some previous collection, being in
one continuous style of writing (very bad), and is doubtless that of the Rev.
Francis Pole, S.J. The subsequent entries are continued in the same hand,
but shew traces of being inserted at different periods. It is proposed to give
a facsimile of a page shewing this. The last entry in the same hand is
dated 18 Sept. 1764. The first in another hand is dated 6 Nov. 1765. The
second book is of paper 7^ by 6£ inches, bound in boards, with a leather back.

The part printed stops in 1834 ; but in the second book there are other
registers down to the end of 1855, which it has been thought unnecessary to
print now.

Thanks are due to the Revv. Arthur Day and John Edge, S.J., the late
and present rectors of St Aloysius' Church at Oxford, to which the registers
belong, for facilities granted, enabling me to make the transcript and collate
the proofs with the originals.

The Hon. Mrs. Bryan Stapleton, who has made Oxfordshire history a
special study, and to whom Catholics are indebted for her interesting and
concise History of Post- Reformation Catholic Missions in Oxfordshire, con
tributes the following historical notes on the chaplaincy and mission.

J. S. H.

" The mission of Oxford, to which these registers belong, embraces six
separate and ancient missions or chaplaincies, viz. : Holywell Manor, now
part of Oxford ; Sandford on Thames ; Britwell-Prior ; Hazeley Court or
Great Hazeley ; Overey, now Dorchester ; and Waterperry. All these were
incorporated by Father Richard Blount, S.J., in 1620 into the 'Residence of
St. Mary's,' known among themselves as ' Mrs Oxon.'

HOLYWELL MANOR. — The owners, by leasehold from Merton College,
were a branch of the Scotch family of Napier who had been settled in
Dorsetshire for some years. They appear to have held the true Faith early,
if not upon their arrival in Oxford, as the best-known member of the family,
the Ven. George Napier, was born and bred here, and he won his crown of
martyrdom at the age of 60 in 1610. After his execution some part of his
remains, which had been hung over one of the City gates, were taken and
thrown into the river Thames, and floating down opposite Sandford they
were taken up and carried to the house of his sister, the wife of Edmund
Powell. Tradition says that there they still remain, buried in a barn once
the chapel of the Knights of St. John.

Holywell continued in Catholic hands until the property was sold in the
middle of the eighteenth century by Mr. Neville of Holt, co. Leicester, who
had it by marriage with the Napier heiress. It was here that the few hunted
Catholics of the day used to assemble for their religious duties whenever a
priest came to their help.

There is no record of any resident priest here beyond the Ven. George
Napier, a son of the house, and later on the Rev. Thomas Kimber, a
secular priest, who was son of the resident, being agent to the Nevilles of

REGISTERS OF WATERPERRY AND OXFORD 389

Holt. We know that the Catholics resorted here for Mass, but no names
are remembered. Father John Nicholas Day, O.S.F.,was born at Holywell
Mill, and was buried in St. Ebbe's Church, Oxford, 1658.

SANDFORD ON THAMES. — The only name we have been able to find is
the Rev. Charles Collingwood, S.J., whose will is recorded in loth Report
of Hist. MSS. as being made in Jan. 1718-19. He was son of George
Collingwood of Esslington, Northumberland, and brother to George, who
suffered on the scaffold at Liverpool for the rising of 1715. He came to
Oxfordshire about 1701, and remained until his death here in 1718 ; he was
buried in the parish church on the 28th Jan. Probably the place was served
by the Franciscans, of whom several were members of the Powell family.

This property was bought with many others in the country upon the
dissolution of the monasteries by Edmund Appowell, a Welshman, one of
the followers probably of Henry Tudor. He settled at Sandford, which had
belonged to the Knights of St. John, and there his family continued to foster
the Faith until the property passed from them. The family ended in two
heiresses — the eldest married to Sir Francis Curson of Waterperry, and the
second to the loth Lord Teynham, whose descendants came in for Water-
perry, while Sandford was sold by Lady Curson in 1760.

BRITWELL-PRIOR. — This mission owed its existence to the Simeon
family j after several generations who had been zealous for religion and had
given many members to the church, Sir Edward Simeon died in 1768, just
as he was completing the 'new chapel,' of which mention is made in the
register ; he was buried at Aston, co. Staffordshire. He was never married,
so his property passed to Mr. Thomas Weld of Lulworth, son of his sister
Margaret.

In 1799 the Community of Poor Clares at Aries, in Flanders, fled before
the French Revolution, having as their Abbess Sister Euphrasia Weld,
sister to the owner of Britwell House, who kindly offered the nuns the loan
of it. Here they remained until 1813, when they removed to Coxside, near
Plymouth, and eventually they built the present Abbey of St. Clare in
Darlington. After the nuns left Britwell the Welds returned and lived there
for several years.

The first chaplain known is the Rev. William Brown, his first appearance
being on Oct. 23, 1729, O.S. ; he died at Britwell House, 3 Nov. 1750.

Rev. John Richardson, S.J., first coming 6th Aug. 1751, O.S. His real
name was Shuttleworth, from Lancashire. Was Superior of St. Mary's
District. His will in Hist. MSS., vol. 10, made 30 Jan. 1752; died at
Britwell House, aged 57, 1765.

Rev. George Bruning, S.J., first coming 25 June 1765, N.S. Son of
George Bruning of East Meon and Froxfield by his second wife Anne May.
His half-sister married Mr. John Thomas Eyston of East Hendred. There
seem to have been seven members of this family Jesuits. The entire
register seems to have been written out by his hand. He died at Isleworth,
and his body appears to have been removed to the church of East Hendred,
where there is a tablet, 'To the Memory of the Revd. George Bruning who
departed this life on the 5th June 1802, aged 66 years. R.I. P.'
1770. Rev. R. D. Carolus Blount of Snitterfield, co. Warwick, 3rd son of
Sir Edward Blount, 4th bart., of Sodington, co. Worcester, signed the list
of confirmations ; this was probably in the absence of Father Bruning ; and
Rev. Blasius Morey, of Gifford's Hall, Suffolk, does the same in 1782.
1773. RCV- James Lane, only probably for a short time. He died at
Norwich in 1821.

Rev. James Charles Hunter alias Weldon, S.J., was residing at Britwell
House in 1792. Subsequently he went to London, where he died, 10 Dec.
1802, aged 86.

The last entry (1788) in the Britwell Register (the continuation is at
Waterperry) is the baptism of John Davey of Overey.

390 CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF

CHAPLAINS TO THE NUNS AT BRITWELL.— 1799. Father Thomas
Pacificus Kington, O.S.F., came with the nuns from Flanders. He was
a native of Warwick ; while chaplain to the community in Flanders he
was imprisoned and sentenced to the guillotine, from which the death
of Robespierre fortunately delivered him. In 1800 he was appointed to
the nuns (now at Taunton) ; died at Osmotherly, Yorkshire, Feb. 18, 1827,
aged 73.

1800. Father Isaac Anselm Mihvard, O.S.F., apparently until 1803, when
he went to the nuns at Winchester.

1803. Father Paschal Harrison, O.S.F., remained until 1809, or there
abouts.

1811. Father Edward Andrew Weetman, O.S.F., born at Rowington, co.
Warwick in 1765, for about a year, when he went to Taunton, and died there
in 1843.

1812. Father Joseph Tate, O.S.F., came this year, and the nuns left soon
after.

Whilst the Weld family lived at Britwell House it is almost certain that
they were served by the French dmigrt clergy from Reading or Thame.

GREAT HASELEY. — This place after leaving the Huddleston family came
by Elizabeth Boulter, a convert and an heiress, to John Wolfe, Esq., whose
family appears among the Catholic Non-Jurors for London and also in
Essex. The last of the family, Mr. Charles Wolfe, died about the time o£
the opening of the ' new chapel ' at Britwell, and we find in the register of
Waterperry an entry in the hand of the Rev. Mr. Bruning of that place,
' that the Congregation at Haseley having been left without a priest since
the death of Mr. Wolfe, belonged then to the Mission of Britwell and that
he Mr. Bruning having attended them out of charity, considered that they
now were joined to that of Waterperry.'

OVEREY, now DORCHESTER. — Here in an old homestead across the
river, known as Overey, dwelt for nigh two hundred years an old Catholic
family, surrounded by a certain number of cottagers, who without doubt shared
the Faith with them. The Davey family had leased this old monastic farm
from the Abbey of Dorchester and its representatives from the time of the
dissolution, and had kept the Faith alive through the days of persecution in
this corner of Oxfordshire. They and the Rev. Robert Newsham founded
the new mission in Dorchester, built the church, and endowed it in 1849.
The Davey family continued to hold Overey until 1901.

Priests who have served the Oxfordshire mission at Overey include —

Father Gilbert Wells, S.J., was residing here in 1752, when he made his
will and styled himself as ' of Dorchester.' He belonged to the family of
Wells of Brambridge, co. Hants ; was still here in 1758, but later removed to
Winchester. Died on the Mission in Wiltshire, 17 Oct. 1777, aged 63.
1773' Father Bernard Cassidy vere Stafford; it is conjectured that the
latter was his true name, as he was buried as such. Was Superior of this
District, residing at Warkworth in 1764, and lastly at Thame Park, where he
died nth June 1778. He belonged to the Irish Province, and is said to have
been the last Jesuit residing at Dorchester during this century. Upon his
leaving the mission fell under the charge of the chaplain of Britwell. Later
on the French clergy helped to serve this place, and one of them, a noted
person, died in the house of Mr. Davey in 1798, and was buried with honour
m the Abbey Church at the expense of the Warden of New College, Oxford.
He was Monseigneur Thoumin des Valpons, Vicar-General of Dol in
Brittany, who died 2 March 1798.

About 1825 Father William Ibbotson came. He was born in 1800 near
Skipton, and died at Stonyhurst in March 1834.

WATERPERRY. — Having now passed in review five of the component
parts of the Oxford mission we must return to Waterperry, the most im
portant, because the longest lived of the group. The list of chaplains here

WATERPERRY AND ST. CLEMENT'S, OXFORD 39!

is almost complete and continuous from the year 1700, and it is supposed
that there had been a resident chaplain at a much earlier date : ' Father
Gerard, S.J., having established a mode of life, providing altar, chapel and
room for a priest in the house of a lady near Oxford whose husband was
indeed a Catholic but much given to worldly pursuits.' This early chaplain
may have been Father Walpole, S.J., and the lady is almost beyond doubt
Lady Curson.

The place was served by Franciscans, Benedictines, and Jesuits in charm
ing impartiality, and some of the changes were so frequent as to suggest a
certain diversity of opinion among the various parties.

In all probability about 1620 some Jesuit fathers were placed here by
Father Blount, S.J. The first authentic name is that of —
1742. Father Henry Stanley, S.J., son of Richard Stanley of Great Eccles-
ton Hall, Lancashire, born 1688, joined the Society of Jesus, and served
the Oxfordshire mission for many years. He died at Culcheth Hall, Lan
cashire, 27 Nov. 1753, aged 65. The only evidence of his residence here is
his name as witness to a will in 1742. He sometimes assumed his mother's
maiden name of Culcheth as an alias.

1750. Father Thomas Brooks, S.J. He was the chaplain at Tusmore,
which place he served for many years, dying aged 82 on the 6th March 1761.

1758. Father Gilbert Wells, S.J., of Dorchester, mentioned above.

1759. Mr. Richardson, probably Father John Richardson alias Shuttle-
worth, S.J., of Britwell.

1761. Dom John Bernard Warmoll of Brise Norton.

1773. Dom John Jerome Butler, O.S.B., was stationed here in 1773, and

was chaplain at Tusmore in 1786 ; he died 15 Nov. 1792, aged 78.

1775. Francis Green, S.J., died suddenly at Tusmore in 1774, aged 26.

1775- James Lewis, S.J.

1777. Father John Closette, S.J. Left for Wardour Castle in Sept. 1781,

but was killed by a fall from his horse within three weeks of his arrival on

the 23rd of Oct., his 3oth year. Buried in Tisbury Church.

1780. Father Peter Jenkins, S.J., born at Sutton, near Guilford, in 1735.

Died suddenly at Bury St. Edmunds, I4th July 1818, aged 83, and was buried

near its chapel.

1785. Father Peter Walker alias Westby, S.J., born at Preston, died at

Scholes, 14 Nov. 1788. He does not appear in this Register again, and was

probably only on a visit.

1789. The Rev. James Taylor, a secular priest. He was at Heythrop in

1795 for a few months.

OXFORD, 1790. The Rev. Charles Leslie, S.J., a younger son of Patrick,
the 2 ist Baron of Balquhain and Count of the Holy Roman Empire, was the
last chaplain, or rather missioner of Waterperry, owing to the altered
circumstances of the place. He died suddenly on 28 Dec. 1806, and was
buried in the ' Quire of the Chapel near the pulpit.' By his amiable manner
and classical acquirements he conciliated the respect and esteem of many
members of the University. Public interest in his works was shown by the
publication of a novel, in which he and his niece appear as the heroes in the
new chapel of St. Ignatius.

In 1799 he was joined by Father William Hothersall, S.J., who had been
chaplain at Thame Park, the seat of Viscount Wenman, whose wife, a
daughter of Lord Abingdon by a Catholic wife, kept chapel in the house.
He succeeded Father B. Cassidy or Stafford, whom we have seen at Overey.
Father Hothersall was buried Aug. 1803 in the chapel at St. Clement's,
Oxford, having lived some time in retirement.

Father Charles Leslie began the independent Mission of Oxford and
closed the old Chaplaincy of Waterperry. He bought a house in St. Clement's
in Oxford and removed there. Sir Francis Curson, the last Baronet, died
childless in 1750, and his widow in 1764. They left a bequest to the church,

392 CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF

stipulating that Mass should be said alternately at Waterperry and at Oxford ;
no notice appears to have been taken of this until Father Leslie came in
1790. He very soon began to fulfil the conditions, and in 1793 he notes that
he removed into Oxford, ' have left at Waterperry only half a dozen Catholics
while at Oxford he found three score at least.' He built the chapel of
St. Ignatius partly by subscription throughout the whole country, and devoted
his whole fortune to it. In the circular begging for alms he remarks that the
wants of the French emigres had seriously interfered with the subscriptions
he hoped to get. His mother, Countess Leslie, left ^1000 for the chapel,
but we cannot ascertain the amount of Sir Francis Curson's bequest.
1806. Father James Leslie, S.J., succeeded his younger brother. In 1812
he was appointed to Stockeld Park in Yorkshire, and died there 5th Aug.
1816 in his 76th year.

1812. Father John William Connolly, S.J. He belonged to the Irish
Province. Died from rupture of a blood-vessel on 5th Sept. 1818, aged 39.
Buried in the chapel.

1818. Father Robert Newsham, S.J. Kept a school for gentlemen's sons
in the Presbytery, which school he removed to Dorchester in 1849, where
he himself went to live. He left the Society of Jesus the same year;
died at Dorchester in 1859. The number of adult baptisms above his name
proclaim him a true missioner."

GENEALOGICAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE
BEDINGFELD PAPERS

BY RICHARD THACKERAY BEDINGFELD

As one who has devoted much time to genealogy, making East Anglia
my special hunting-ground, and perhaps not unnaturally spending
more time upon the Bedingfeld pedigree than upon any other, I have
been asked by the editor to write a few notes by way of Addenda to
the Bedingfeld papers.

The Papers speak for themselves ; they make genealogy a living
thing, and it is only here and there that some mysterious individual
requires identification. The present Baronet, who evidently takes the
keen interest which it becomes the head of an old family to take in
its history, in these few cases, has been appealed to in vain ; for the
men are not in his pedigree, neither are they to be identified by the
perusal of the muniments at Oxburgh. Sir Henry has therefore referred
to me.

The Papers being already voluminous brevity now becomes a
desideratum, and I shall therefore make use of the tabular form of
pedigree to elucidate ; but perhaps it will be as well to first make
a few remarks upon a statement made in Note III. by the editor
(p. 231), viz. that the Bedingfeld pedigree "is acknowledged to be of
authority, though for some remote periods it cannot be confirmed from
independent sources."

In the Record Office and elsewhere I have heard this before;
eminent genealogists have informed me that Ogerus de Pugeys never
existed, and that all sensible people have long since consigned him to
the realms of myth, and that no family of the rank of the Bedingfelds
could prove an antiquity so great. I have been told that the lord
Malet, lord of the honour of Eye in Suffolk, knew nothing of this
Roger who is said to have been one of his four knights, and to have
received from him a gift of the manor of Bedingfeld, in consequence
of which he was afterwards known as Ogerus (i.e. Roger) de Bedingfeld.

One of these iconoclastic gentlemen 'said to me: "I defy you to
produce any eleventh-century document, or authentic copy of such
document, upon which the names of the great Norman baron and your
supposed ancestor occur together ! "

This is no place for the reprinting of long Latin charters ; but we
know that Robert Malet founded the Monastery of Eye, and with the
consent of King William the Conqueror gave to it the Church of St.
Peter in Eye and many others with all the Immunities belonging to
the Honor of Eye, as given him by the said King. We will refer to
Dugdale. Here is his Monasticon Anglicanuni, published by James
Bohn in 1846. In vol. iii. p. 404, we find, "Num. I Carta Roberti
Malet Fundatoris Ecclesise de Eya [Ex Registro de Eya penes Thomam
Deye generosum an. 1630 fol. 58]." It is too long for insertion here;
but an extract is sufficient. After the above-mentioned donations the
founder confirms various gifts made to the monastery by his barons

423

424 GENEALOGICAL SUPPLEMENT

and other persons holding under him in military service by the words
following : —

"Praeterea donationes quas barones et milites mei, me annuente,
eis fecerunt, praefato monasterio concedo et confirmo. Quorum nomina
haec sunt. Rog. de Huntingefeud dedit eis ij partes decimae suae
de dominio de Huntingefeud, et de Linestede, et de Benges. Ric.
Honel dedit eis duas partes decimae suae in Winerdestune. Willielmus
Gulafre dedit duas partes decimae suae de Hukenholle. Ogerus dedit
duas partes decimae suae de Bedingfeud, et de terra sua quam habuit in
Framlingham. Ernaldus films Rogeri dedit duas partes decimae suae
de Wytingeham, et de Wasketona. Radulfus Grossus dedit eis duas
partes decimae suae de Cratinges."

East Anglians, even if unaccustomed to old charters, will not fail
to recognise Huntingfield and Bedingfield in feudal form, as shown in
the above ; the original of which was more ancient than the venerable
Domesday, and should serve to prove that Ogerus held lands in Beding
field of the Lord Malet by sub-infeudation. The Baron himself holding
in fief as vassal of the crown.

Dugdale gives many other Charters, besides the one already quoted,
in which are mentioned early members of the Bedingfeld family. We
again turn to vol. iii. pp. 405-406 : " Num. Ill Carta Regis

* Note the honour of Eye was conferred, by Richard I., on Henry, Earl of
Brabant and Lorraine, circa 1190. Lorraine, in Low Latin, is Lolharingia.

Stephani." It is dated MCXXXVIII (2nd King Stephen), and we
find it contains the name of Peter de Bedingfeld.

Now look at the Bedingfeld pedigree in Blomefield's Norfolk, and
then come with me to Fetter I^ane. We will write tickets for some
thing circa the close of the iath century ; for we know that since 1194
Adam de Bedingfeld and Gundreda his wife had been fighting for
their rights in the Law Courts. Adam was the grandson of the above
Peter. The Pipe Roll No. 46 — 2nd John is brought to us, and we find
at r. i Fines made before the King.

"Adam de Bedingfield 50 m. for having seizin of half a Knight's
fee in Rampton and \ in Bedingfield of which he had been disseized.

Robert Maluvel 403. that he should be compelled to plead with
Adam and Gundred his wife concerning 7 bovates of land in Ramton."

If we turn to the Pipe Rolls for the 4 and 5 John we shall find
more about Adam de Bedingfeld under Scutage, and if we want the
next generation we may turn to Coram Rege Roll for Trinity 14,
Hen. III., No. 36, m. 18, where we find that "Adam de Bedingfeld,
son of Adam," claimed lands in Coddenham, Suffolk.

We could find more about these Adams in the Patent Rolls, and
we can get many early descents of the Bedingfelds from the ancient
deeds in the Record Office. Abstracts of many of these last have
been printed. Sir Adam de Bedingfeld, Kt., 1245, was the grandson
of the above claimant, and the father of Sir Adam " Sense, de Eye."
Sir Adam de Bedingfeld, Seneschal of the Honour of Eye, who sealed
with the family arms (ermine, an eagle displayed gules) in 1269, is to
be found in many records. He was still Seneschal in 1274 (Inq. ac.
3d. Edw. I.). Vide also Rotuli Hundredorum, Henry III. to Edw. I.
(Printed Copy, vol. i. p. 534), where under the Hundred of Tunstede
we shall find the Seneschal and Peter his son.

It would be easy for me to write a volume upon the Bedingfeld
pedigree during these remote periods, for excerpta from the records
are before me in abundance ; but I must abstain, my space being so
limited, and must content myself with having indicated a few of the
independent sources from which a weight of evidence confirmatory of
the pedigree in the early periods may be obtained.

It seemed to me that the editor was inclined to underrate this
weight of evidence. No one would think of blaming him for that.
He does not pretend to give more than a glance at these remote times.
The labour bestowed upon the bulk of the work must be evident to all.

Just glancing at Sir Peter de Bedingfeld, son of the Seneschal
(vide Bedingfield Suffolk Patent Rolls, 5 Edw. I. and 9 Edw. I.), and
Sir Edmund his son who married Maud, the daughter and heir of Sir
William de Hemenhale, we come next to Sir Peter de Bedingfeld, son
and heir of the said Sir Edmund. He was one of the fighting Knights
of Edward the Third and the Black Prince (vide the grant from the
King, printed in Betham's Baronetage), and as he appears to be the
progenitor of all the Bedingfelds living at the present time, he is of
considerable importance. We will commence with him in correcting
the notes on page 231 of the Papers, and will use the tabular form of
pedigree. ( Vide Table A at p. 430.)

426 GENEALOGICAL SUPPLEMENT

This table showing the chief division of the Bedingfeld family has
brought us to the time when King Henry the Eighth denied the Pope's
supremacy, and posed as head of the " Reformed English Church."

This, for the moment, seems to have made but little difference to
the Bedingfelds of either branch, so far as property or freedom was
concerned. Sir Edmund Bedingfeld of Oxburgh (son of the Knight
of the Bath, and Margaret, daughter of Sir John Scott) and his wife
Grace, daughter of Henry Lord Marney, were on excellent terms at
Court ; but in the next generation things were to alter. Henceforth
the Bedingfelds of Oxburgh are known as the Catholic branch, while
those of Ditchingham are spoken of as the Protestant branch. ( Vide
p. 232.)

The eldest son of Sir Edmund Bedingfeld by Grace Marney was
Sir Henry Bedingfeld, Governor of the Tower in the time of Queen
Mary, who suffered persecution during the next reign on account of his
religion ; and his fate was shared by his first cousin once removed,
Humphrey Bedingfeld of Quidenham, Norfolk, son of John, and
grandson of Peter Bedingfeld. ( Vide p. 232.)

At this time another Henry Bedingfeld, who was a younger son of
the before-mentioned Philip Bedingfeld and Anne Yaxley (vide Table A
at p. 430), flourished as a Protestant clergyman. He was vicar of
Bedingfield, Suffolk, rector of Upwell 1567, of Heddenham 1569,
and of Southacre 1578; all in Norfolk. He married the daughter of
William Walsingham of Upwell, and died in 1582. His eldest son,
Edmund Bedingfeld, settled at Huntingfield, Suffolk, and left children,
while his second son, Henry Bedingfeld, settled at Needham Market
in the same county, and married Susan, daughter of John Holt, S.T.B.,
rector of Stokesby and Catfield, Norfolk, and Chaplain to Elizabeth's
Archbishop of Canterbury, John Whitgift. From this match descend
all the Bedingfelds of Needham Market, including the present writer,
who has compiled their pedigree.

The reader may be interested to learn that some members of this
branch have at length returned to the Catholic religion.

The Bedingfelds of Redlingfield, Suffolk, sprang from John, third
son of the above Sir Henry and Katherine his wife, daughter of Sir
Roger Townsend of Rainham. They are mentioned at pp. 232 and
240 of these papers, and elsewhere.

Foley has taken great trouble with the pedigree of this branch ;
but has omitted some points of interest. The royal descent of the
Bedingfelds of Redlingfield has been mentioned; but I believe not
shown by others. I therefore give it. ( Vide Table C at p. 432.)

Foley, Davy, and other genealogists who have given us pedigrees
of the Redlingfield Bedingfelds seem to have been unaware of the
match between Francis Bedingfeld and Mary Paston, which I have
given in Table B. However, it is mentioned in Payne's Non-Jurors
(p. 298). He gives as his authority Coll. of Arms M.S.D. 22. This
relationship to the Pastons is interesting, as it makes Francis Beding
feld, father of Anthony Bedingfeld, SJ. (vide pp. 232 and 241), second
cousin to Sir Henry Bedingfeld, the 2nd baronet, instead of being only
his distant kinsman. The mother of this Mary was Agnes, daughter
and coheir of William Everard of Linstead, Suffolk, who in her will,

TO THE BEDINGFELD PAPERS 427

dated i July 1673, mentions, " my neece Margaret Bedingfeild wife
unto Sr Henry Bedingfeild of Beckhall, my grandchild Francis Beding
feild, my grandchild Elizabeth Bedingfeild, my daughter Mary Beding
feild, my son-in-law Francis Bedingfeild sole executor." The testatrix
died on the n April 1676. For the full contents of her will, see the
Chancery Bill of Mary, widow of William Paston of Apleton, Norf.,
Esq., 23 Oct. 1677, and the Answer of Francis Bedingfeild and Mary
his wife (Chancery before 1714 B. & A. Reynardson Bl. 70, memb. 4).

Henry Bedingfeld, the fifth and youngest son of Sir Henry, the
Governor of the Tower, was seated at Sturston in Norfolk; but on
the death of his uncle, Nicholas Bedingfeld, in 1636, he left Norfolk
and went to live at Swatishall in Gislingham, Suffolk, which by deed
of entail had been settled upon him and his younger sons John and
Henry and their heirs male by the said Nicholas.

Henry had only just moved into his new home when he was con
victed of recusancy; and seven years later (Michaelmas, 1643) the
premises were sequestered for his recusancy, and he died at Gisling
ham the following February, and was buried at Sturston beside his
wife, Mary, daughter of Edmund Daniel of Acton, Suffolk. She died
12 Feb. 1628. Blomefield is mistaken about the date of Henry's
death.

Their eldest son, Francis Bedingfeld, married Anne, daughter of
Edmund Skipwith of Snore Hall in Fordham, Norfolk, and left issue.
John, their second son, died s.p. of the small-pox, 19 Nov. 1643.
Henry, their third and youngest son, then had Swatishall. However,
he let the place to Grace Bedingfeld, and we learn from Chancery
depositions, Royalist Composition Papers, and other records, that after
1635 he spent most of his time beyond seas in Flanders and other
parts, and died there s.p- circa 1661. I have no doubt of his identity
with "Cousin H. Bed:" mentioned in J. Barker's letter* of May the
21, 1645 (vide p. 18). Father Goldie is correct as to the first three
Bedingfelds mentioned, viz. John, brother of the first baronet, and
Captain Thomas Bedingfeld of Redlingfield and his brother Mathew.
He is also right in making "Jack Taborough " identical with John
Tasborough, or Tasburgh, of Flixton, Suffolk. John was the fourth son
of Sir John Tasburgh of Flixton by Lettice his wife, daughter of James
Cressye. He married Penelope, daughter and coheir of John Ramsey
(alias Dicks) of Wickmere, Norfolk, and sister to Dorothy, wife of John
Bedingfeld, second son of Sir Henry, the first baronet. I shall show
directly that Jack's sister Elizabeth was the mother of Charles Beding
feld of the Diary. Charles Bedingfeld of Oxburgh is mentioned at
p. 1 06 and elsewhere in Thomas Marwood's Diary. I will now
proceed to identify him, first giving the abstract of his will.

" Will of Charles Bedingfeld of Oxboro Gentleman dated 28, Oct.
1689, to my dear cousins Sir Henry Bedingfeld Knt. and Baronett,

# I think it likely that J. Barker was a connection of the Bedingfelds. There
were many Johns amongst the Barkers of Suffolk and Essex. Elizabeth Tasburgh,
who married Edmund Bedingfeld of Kirkby Bedon (vide Table B), had a sister
Penelope Tasburgh, married to Sir Thomas Barker of Bottisford House, half-brother
to Sir John Barker, Bart., of Grimston Hall. Their father, Sir Robert Barker, K.B.,
died at Ipswich, 8 Oct. 1618.

John Bedingfeld, and Edward Bedingfeld Esqrs. each one guinea for
rings, to my dear sister Bullock twenty pounds to my dear neeces
Elizabeth Harding and Ann Hummerston (Humberstone) each five
pounds mentions my friend Thomas Marwood, my godson Mr Charles
Hacon, my dear kinswoman Mrs. Sara Bedingfeld of Beckhall my full
and sole executrix.

Proved P.C.C. by Sarae Stockdell, als. Bedingfeld, ux.
Antonii Stockdell executrix Aug. 1703 Regst. Degg fol. 139."
(Vide Table B at p. 431.)

John Bedingfeld of Wickmere, Norfolk, second son of the first
baronet, is mentioned with Dorothy his wife and four of their children
at p. 235. They had four more children, viz. Henry, buried at
Wickmere, 18 June 1682; Margaret, buried at Wickmere, 10 Mar.
1683; Dorothy, buried at Wickmere, 18 July 1686; and Edward,
baptized at Wickmere, 13 April 1693.

The last died young ; but outlived his father, who we are informed
by the monumental inscription in Wickmere Church left 3 sons and
2 daughters.

As we shall presently see, Foley is wide of the mark in saying the
third surviving son "was probably Father Charles Bedingfeld, O.S.F.,"
named by Cole as " my friend the Minorite living in 1756." {Vide
Bedingfeld Pedigree, Records of the English Province, S.J., vol. v.)

Edward Bedingfeld, third son of the first baronet, is also mentioned
at p. 235. Besides his daughter Mary, wife of Sir John Swinburne,*
Bart., he had two sons. Wotton and others tell us they did not survive,
and leave them unnamed.

On the authority of the Laivson MS., from which some years ago
I made notes at the College of Arms, these boys were named Edward
and Henry. They both died in infancy.

And now we will return once more to Henry Bedingfeld of Swatis-
hall in Gislingham, whom I have already shown to be identical with
the "cousin H. Bed:" of Barker's letter (p. 18). Persecuted by the
Puritans on account of his religion, he was glad, before he finally
settled in Flanders, to sell Swatishall and the rest of his estate in
Gislingham to his distant kinsman, Anthony Bedingfeld, the Round
head member of Parliament, who gave him four thousand pounds
for it (Indentures, 10 Jan. 1649). Anthony left the estate to his
brother, Sir Thomas Bedingfeld the Judge, who again parted with
Swatishall, giving it to his brother, Philip Bedingfeld of Ditchingham,
as part payment for the mansion-house of Darsham. One of this
Philip's great grandchildren will be the last mysterious person for me
to identify. The editor at page 232 has almost saved me the trouble,
for he confounds a first cousin of the same name with the man we
want. Others have been unable to get so near to the truth.

The man we want is Charles Bonaventure Bedingfeld, the Francis
can (1698-1782). His friend Cole says, " Father Charles Bonaventure
Bedingfield of the family of the Bedingfields of Oxburgh in Suffolk

* From this match descended Algernon -Charles Swinburne the poet. His
grandfather, Sir John-Edward Swinburne, 6th Bart., was the great-grandson of the
above Sir John Swinburne and Mary Bedingfeld.

TO THE BEDINGFELD PAPERS 429

was of a branch in that county or Norfolk that were Protestants and
had a sister living at Norwich, and a nephew a clergyman of the
Church of England." (Add. MS. 5845.)

Father Charles Bedingfeld in a letter to Cole, dated at Worlaby,
near Brigg, co. Lincoln, 24 May 1771, gives his age as 73. In another
letter, dated at Somerby, n Aug. 1767, tells him that he has an only
sister living at Norwich. (Add. MS. 5824, pp. 20, 26, 27.)

Now let us compare all this with a portion of my pedigree of the
Bedingfelds of Ditchingham. ( Vide Table D at p. 434.)

In the British Museum, amongst the correspondence mentioned in
the above-named Table, there is a letter from William Bedingfeld of
Swatsfield Hall to his brother Charles, in which the latter's religion is
spoken of in terms anything but polite. Such bitterness of feeling,
begotten of bigotry and ignorance, is happily as rare in the twentieth
century as it was common in the eighteenth. Magna est veritas et
prcKvalebit !

In finishing with this last table it will be as well to give the missing
links required to connect it with Table A, where we find that Philip
Bedingfeld of Ditchingham (ob. 1542) married Anne Yaxley, and left
issue by her. One of their younger sons has already been mentioned
at p. 426. Another, Robert, had Ditchingham, while the eldest,
Thomas, had Fleming's Hall, and married Mary, daughter of William
Methwold of Langford, Norfolk.

Their eldest son, Thomas Bedingfeld, purchased Darsham Hall of
Edmund Hummings, who had recently built it. He was married at
Barham, Suffolk, 9 June 1584, to Dorothy, daughter of John Southwell,
lord of Barham, and ancestor to Viscount Southwell. They left issue
many children ; Philip Bedingfeld, M.P. for Norfolk, who heads the
Pedigree Table D, being their eldest son.

This gentleman, on his father's death in 1636, inherited Fleming's
Hall and Darsham Hall. He already possessed Ditchingham, which
had been left to him in 1621 by his second cousin, Sir Philip Beding
feld, who died s.p.

Sir Philip was the only son of Henry Bedingfeld and Margaret,
daughter of Thomas Darcy of Tolshunt Darcy, Essex, and grandson of
the above-mentioned Robert Bedingfeld of Ditchingham by his second
wife Mary, daughter of Sir Henry D'Oyley of Pond Hall, in Hadleigh,
Suffolk.

In a recent edition of a well-known genealogical work considerable
confusion has arisen in the Bedingfeld pedigree there printed. This
seems to be partly owing to the author having received his information
from some one who was unacquainted with the fact that for more than
half a century Ditchingham was owned and occupied by a junior
branch ; but ultimately returned, as above shown, to the elder male
line.

Constitutions

1. Name. The name of the Society is "THE CATHOLIC RECORD
SOCIETY."

2. Objects. The objects are the transcribing, printing, indexing
and distributing to its members the Catholic Registers of Baptisms,
Marriages, and Deaths, and other old Records of the Faith, chiefly per
sonal and genealogical, since the Reformation in England and Wales.

3. Management. The affairs of the Society are managed by a
Council consisting of twelve members and four honorary officers, viz.,
The Recorder, Bursar, Legal Adviser and Secretary — four forming a
quorum. It has power to appoint a President and Vice-Presidents,
its Chairman and Officers, and to fill vacancies on its own body, and has
power to refuse or take away membership. One-third of the twelve
members and all the honorary officers retire each year, but are eligible
for re-election. Nominations of New Members of the Council must be
sent to the Secretary fourteen days before the Annual Meeting. The
representation and management are reserved to Catholic Members.

4. Subscription. The subscription is one guinea per annum, which
entitles members to the publications for the year, but the names of any
members whose subscription shall be two years in arrears will there
upon be removed from the Society, and not be readmitted until all
arrears are paid.

Subscriptions are due on June i in each year, and no work is
issued to any member whose subscription is unpaid. A member
wishing to retire from the Society must intimate his intention to the
Bursar or Secretary before the ist day of June, or be held liable for
his subscription for the ensuing year.

5. Privileges. The members are entitled to the Volume or Vol
umes printed for the year of subscription, no Volume being issued
to any member whose subscription is unpaid. They may also, on
prepayment, obtain back numbers (if in stock) on such terms as the
Council may direct.

6. Meetings. An Annual Meeting is held in the month of June or
July, of which at least seven days' notice is sent to all the members.
At this meeting a report of the work of the Society, with a statement
of the income and expenditure, is presented. This is issued together
with the list of members and the Constitutions of the Society.

7. Audit. The Bursar's accounts are audited by a member of
the Society appointed by the Council, at the close of the financial year,
which expires on May 31.

N.B. — The Bursar deals with Membership and Subscriptions.

FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
CATHOLIC RECORD SOCIETY

BEFORE entering on other matters, we must deplore the
loss by death of our first President, the Lord Herries,
whose archaeological tastes and knowledge eminently
qualified him for such a post, and whose urbanity made the
task of those working under him pleasant. He placed several papers
at our disposal, and urged the old Catholic families to do likewise.
Illness prevented him doing much more. It is matter for regret
that he did not live to see the Everingham Registers, in which he was
much interested, printed in Volume VII. His response to the first
appeal for members was prompt, his name appearing as the twenty-
third Founder of the Society. His ready consent to accept the office
of President of the Society, giving it the benefit of his experience
and name, when its membership had barely attained to seventy,
was a great advantage.

It is necessary to record the further losses by death of the
Rev. Charles Rose Chase, M.A.; Mrs Nevile, of Wellingore Hall ;
Mr Robert Hovenden, F.S.A., one of those Protestant gentlemen
who have given us their generous support, as he did to most archaeo
logical and genealogical societies, to say nothing of many volumes
he personally edited ; Mr James Brand, K.C.S.G.; the Rt Rev.
Monsignor John Edward Canon Crook ; Count Louis Pomian
Bodenham-Lubienski, the sixty-sixth Founder ; and Mr William
Mostyn.

In addition to these eight deaths, we have already to lament
two more for this year, both on the same day — Mr Valentine
Dudley Henry Cary-Elwes, and Mr Simon Conyers Scrope, the
representative of a great Catholic and historic name, and the
twenty-fifth Founder.

The vacancy in the office of President has been filled by the
election of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and the Council thanks
him for his acceptance, which must be beneficial to the Society.

The resignation of seven members is much regretted, as well as
the necessity of having to remove five names under Constitution
No. 4. With the eight deaths recorded above there is a heavy loss
of twenty.

Against this there are twenty-five new members, showing a
nett gain of five ; and so the steady progress of the four former
years is sustained. There are still many Catholic names noticeable
by their absence, and it is hoped that they may be relied on to fill,
or more than fill, the inevitable breaches in our ranks. Now that
the idea of founding our Society is demonstrated to be anything
but chimerical, and that already it takes rank with the most import
ant ones of older standing, their support can confidently be asked
for, to keep it in its present, if not in a better position. The
number of important libraries subscribing is one good feature,

6 REPORT

The many delays over Volume VI have been trying, extending
the work over eighteen months. At an early stage Mr Gillow's
illness, and later the greatness of his task, were the first factors.
An index of 126 pages necessarily took much time, and a mishap
further extended it. When the MS. was complete and handed
over to the printers, next to nothing was done for two months.
It ought to have been in the hands of members before the Annual
Meeting; but even after delivery of the sheets a number were
found to be torn. The printers have accepted responsibility.

The text of Vol. VII, being that for the fifth year, is nearly com
plete ; the index is being prepared, and will be printed when ready.

For the sixth year Volume VIII has been three months in the
press, and the question of Volume IX stands over, for a short time,
to see whether the transcript of the third and fourth Douay
Diaries can be completed in time. In the year 1878, the late
Rev. Dr Knox, aided by other Fathers of the London Oratory,
brought out the first and second Diaries from the archives of the
Archdiocese of Westminster. Thirty years have passed, but for one
reason or another the work has not been continued. Now our Society
supplies the demand for such work, and may bring it out in a
handier and less expensive form, but limited to the members.
Should there be undue delay other work may take its place.

With the present membership, no attempt to print two volumes
a year can be made. Whilst, however, limiting the output to three
in two years, the volumes have more than kept up their goodly
proportions ; and it must be evident that it is cheaper to so produce
them than the same material in small ones.

The considerable balance shown in the Hon. Bursar's Statement,
presented with this Report, coupled with the subscriptions due
since ist June, justifies our putting work in hand sooner than in
the early days of the Society, when the doubtful amount of available
funds enforced prudent economy. The low bank-rate prevailing
of late, preventing full advantage being obtained from money on
deposit, a purchase of £500 Consols has been made, and now stands
in the names of the Bursar and two other members of the Council.
In several of our volumes there have already appeared family
notes of births, marriages, and deaths, the religious element only

slightly veiled. They frequently appear in books of prayer or
devotion, diaries, etc. It is desired to augment the number of these.
Obituaries of the clergy, 1745-1839, those in the Laity's Directory,
and others are being prepared, and several have been offered. More
are invited from the present owners of such notes.

Thanks are due to our member, Mrs Seymour Spencer for
undertaking the Index of Volume VII, and for a transcript of the
important Registers of Liverpool, which must take prominent
place in an early volume ; also to Miss Harting, who, having
completed the Lulworth Registers in Volume VII, is now tran
scribing those of Durham ; to Miss Agnes Dolan, for the greater
part of the transcript of those at Richmond, Surrey ; to the
Rev. Matthew Culley and Mr Francis Mclninly, for those of
Callaly ; to Mr Richard Thackeray Bedingfeld, for supplying some
much-needed genealogical information about his family ; to Miss
Annie Stearn, for continuous transcript work ; to Mr Andrew, for
again auditing the accounts, etc. etc.

Major Skeet was elected to a seat on the Council, caused by the
retirement of Mr J . Orlebar Payne, who felt himself unable to attend
meetings, but to whom the thanks of the Society are due, for sugges
tions and advice. Later, Major Skeet was elected Hon. Secretary,
so becoming an ex-officio member of the Council and again causing
a vacancy, which the Council was glad to be able to fill by a friar,
in the person of the Very Rev. John Procter, S.T.M., Provincial
of the English Dominicans. The clergy are thus represented by
two Seculars, a Benedictine monk, a Dominican friar, and a Jesuit,
as seems desirable.

The tenancy of Father Procter's seat on the Council expires
at the end of the past year ; but he is qualified for re-election for
the next three years, together with the Very*Rev. W. O. Canon
Sutcliffe, M.A., the Marquis de Ruvigny, and Dr Williamson.

PROGRESS.

TRANSACTIONS
OF THE FIFTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.

The Fifth Annual General Meeting of the Catholic Record Society-
was held in the Archbishop's House, Westminster (by the kind
permission of the Archbishop, Patron), on Thursday, July i, 1909.

There were present, his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, E.M., K.G.,
who took the chair for the first time as President ; the Rt Rev. Abbot
Gasquet, O.S.B., Vice-President ; the Rt Rev. Abbot White, C.R.L.;
the Very Rev. Prior Higgins, C.R.L.; the Very Rev. Canon Sutcliffe ;
the Revv. J. Gilbert Dolan, O.S.B., John Fletcher, and J. H.
Pollen, S.J.; Mrs Hungerford Pollen ; Miss Urquhart ; the Marquis
de Ruvigny ; Sir Henry Paston Bcdingfeld, Bart.; Major Vaughan ;
Major Skeet ; Mr V. Hussey- Walsh ; Mr C. George Keogh ; Mr F.
A. R. Langton ; Mr Leonard C. Lindsay ; Mr J. Hobson Matthews ;
Mr Joseph Mawson ; Mr Charles J. Munich, K.S.G.; Mr Carlisle Sped-
ding ; Mr Richard S. Wood ; and Mr Joseph S. Hansom.

Letters of regret and sympathy were received from Miss Ains-
worth ; the Rev. Dr Burton ; Mr Hanmer ; Miss Harting ; the Very
Rev. Father Procter ; Mr Richard Duncan Radcliffe ; Mr Orby Shipley ;
Mr Slater ; and Mrs Seymour Spencer.

The Press was represented by The Times, The London Central
News Agency, The Press Association, The Catholic Times, The Catholic
Herald, and The Universe.

In moving the adoption of the Report of the Council and the
Bursar's Balance-Sheet, the President referred to the loss of one he
esteemed and reverenced, the late Lord Herries, the first President of
the Society. Lord Herries took deep interest in the movement ; was
a man specially adapted for the appointment, and thought it somewhat
of a reproach to the Catholic body that such a Society had not been
thought of before. All felt the loss the movement had sustained.
There were also on the death roll several other names of personal friends
of his own, and of those respected in many walks of life. The losses
generally shown in the Report were heavy ; but it was satisfactory to
find that there was a gain in the end of five members.

The Society was to be congratulated on its striking — almost
unique — financial position, as shown by the balance-sheet. But this
refreshening condition of affairs must not lull them into indolence,
but make them go forward with renewed energy. The work had a
special interest — an intrinsic interest — to Catholics, showing the records
of the sufferings of their forefathers in less happy days than the present.

He noticed some difficulty in getting one volume forward. Sucli
difficulties were not uncommon, but it seemed that this, the Sixth
Voiume, would be soon out, and others were in a forward state. His
Grace referred to the generous offers made of family records by their
owners, and said much valuable information could be obtained from
such interesting sources.

Mr Hussey -Walsh, in seconding, urged the making of "genealogy"
of the widest interest, as was shown in the rules. Nothing appealed
to a wider circle in this country and in America. No branch of it
was so little known as that of Catholic families. The London registers,
as those of Lincoln's Inn Fields, Spanish Place, the French embassy,
Moorfield's, Ratcliffe Highway, St George's (South war k), Chelsea, and
Kensington contained much of interest. Those of Moorfield's contain

the case of a man, the Chevalier d'JEon, posing as a woman. The
names of emigre families occur in them, filling gaps in French families,
whilst at certain times the registers might almost be called Irish. Other
family records also existed, and the scope of our work should be as wide
as possible. With the small increase to 360 members a second volume
each year seemed hardly realisable ; but with about 450 it would be
possible, and we might hope for a third with another 200.

Abbot Gasquet supported the adoption, saying the Report was
very interesting. It was manifested that the Society was not only
useful, but absolutely necessary. The work done was ample guarantee
of that to be done in the future. He strongly urged the great import
ance of printing lists of Recusants. They existed in great profusion
from about 1583, and ought to be made more public. Those printed
in the time of King Charles II seemed to him somewhat too modern.
The Recusants existed in all stations of life. In some respects their
life-long sufferings, exorbitant fines, imprisonments, contempt, and
injury, made them even more deserving of respect than the Martyrs.
He would like to see put up in every Catholic church lists of the local
Recusants, who had set such a magnificent example to us. Present
day Catholics wanted to have their history made known, and within
the reach of non-Catholics, so that all might know what Catholics
had suffered at the time of the change of religion. A notable pageant
had recently been held, the prevailing idea being to maintain a fiction —
the continuity fiction ; but history showed, in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, people being persecuted to death for upholding the religion
of their forefathers ! All ought to know from the original records the
heroic stand then made. He had been asked, in reference to the
proposal of the Government to put a double tax on individuals, whether
history furnished a precedent. He replied promptly, that it had been
done with the Recusants, and — something more. The present proposal
was to crush out the great landlords ; the former was to crush the
Catholic religion out of existence.

The motion was then put and carried unanimously.

Mr Mawson asked whether enquiries and statements could not
be inserted in the volumes. He had made considerable research
himself, and would like to bring some matters to notice.

Father Dolan said this would entail the publication of a period
ical, of the nature of Notes and Queries, monthly or quarterly, as volumes
coming out on an average at intervals of about eight months could
hardly deal with such matters expeditiously enough. He did not know
whether this could be entertained, but suggested that a paper might
be submitted to the Council for insertion.

Major Vaughan proposed, Mr Munich seconded, and it was
resolved

" That the Very Rev. John Procter, Provincial O.P.; the Very
Rev. William Ormond Canon Sutcliffe ; the Marquis de Ruvigny ;
and Dr George Charles Williamson, be re-elected Members of the
Council for the ensuing three years."

Sir Henry Bedingfeld proposed, Mr Keogh seconded, a vote of
thanks to the Council and Honorary Officers for their work during the
past year, and this was carried unanimously.

In reply, Father Pollen said that members would soon have
two goodly volumes of over 1,000 pages, and illustrating Catholic life
all over England. There would be eight Registers for the counties of

12 FIFTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Essex, Dorset, Norfolk, Northumberland, Oxford, Surrey, Sussex, and
Yorkshire ; Recusant Lists for Monmouthshire in 1719, and for Evering-
ham in 1767, and returns for 23 counties and towns (1664-1670). The
latter, fully annotated by Mr Gillow and others, would be especially
important. The Bedingfeld Papers comprised 70 different pieces,
illustrated by eighteen family pictures and four pedigrees. They
would throw light on the existence of a Catholic family through the
penal times. For the future, Mgr Ward was undertaking the Corres
pondence of Robert Smelt, agent of the English Vicars Apostolic during
the years of Emancipation at home and wars abroad. The Douay
Diaries, one of the most valuable of our records, was being attacked in
two places, — Dr Burton, of Old Hall, was preparing the later, the Society
was having the earlier volumes transcribed. The proposed volume
of Obituaries was also full of promise. The Augustinian Canonesses of
Bruges had promised a copy of their Dirge Book, which noticed both the
nuns, relatives, benefactors, and confessors. From Oulton they were
expecting The Book of the Commemoration of deceased Religious
(O.S.B., of Ghent), giving short biographies of about fifty sisters (i7th
and 1 8th centuries), and a contribution was also kindly offered from
Colwich. Of the secular clergy they had already lists running from
1748 to 1839; and there were in hand, or promised, various smaller
papers. For the time the store of materials was satisfactory, but they
much needed assistance in editing and preparing for the Press.

Major Skeet returned thanks for the Officers, and desired to
acknowledge the work done by Mr Hansom.

Mr Langton proposed a vote of thanks to the President for his
conduct in the chair, which Prior Higgins seconded.

The Duke of Norfolk replied.

NOTICES.

THE too-long-delayed Volume VI was posted to members entitled to
it on gth July, 1909.

Members are requested to call the attention of their friends
to the Society and its work. A copy of the current subscription form
is enclosed to members this year, in case they desire to introduce a
friend. It shows also how back numbers are procurable by members
desiring to complete a set.

Transcripts of interesting unpublished documents ready for the
press, together with the loan of the originals for the purpose of collation,
are invited. It is desired always to have material for half a dozen
volumes ready for printing, as special donations for printing may enable
the output of work to be increased.

Offers of help in transcribing documents, especially in the
Public Offices in London, where the greater part of the documents
relating to the country are stored, are invited. Parish priests are
especially invited to provide exact copies of old registers in their custody,
or give facilities for this being done.

Members desirous of paying through their bankers can be sup
plied with a " Banker's Order," on application to the Bursar or
Secretary.

A copy of the second annual report is desired for a new member.
Perhaps someone, having a copy he does not want, will oblige by
sending it to the Secretary.
