PREFACE.
^Vhe most remarkable passages of the Diary now printed have
already attained their position in history from having been largely
incorporated in the works of Strype, and quoted on his authority
by subsequent writers.
It must not therefore be expected that the present publication
will develope much new information of high historical importance:
but it will have its value, like some former publications of the
Camden Society, in ascertaining the real authority for certain
statements of general history, the credit of which materially de-
pends upon the quarter from whence they are derived.
The writer was a citizen of London, of no great scholarship or
attainments, as his language and cacography plainly testify, suffi-
ciently prejudiced no doubt, and not capable of any deep views
either of religious doctrine or temporal policy; but the matters of
fact which he records would be such as he either witnessed him-
self, or had learned immediately after their occurrence : and the
opinions and sentiments which he expresses would be shared by a
large proportion of his fellow-citizens.
For a great part of the period of his Diary, the times were very
eventful. Important changes in the Church and in the State were
attended by many extraordinary occurrences, particularly those
deprivations, imprisonments, trials, and executions, the promotion
of new ministers and prelates, and other incidents in the person

career of the great actors in the political drama which were most
likely to attract the attention of a popular chronicler *
Though the most important particulars which he affords on
these subjects are known (as already remarked) from the extracts
made by Strype, still their detail is occasionally more interestmg,
and not unfrequently more accurate,t in the language of the
* On one occasion of the deepest interest our citizen is wholly silent— verj- probably
from fear. It is the execution of Lady Guilford Dudley, commonly called Lady Jane
Grey. The Manuscript diarj- from which Stovve and the other chroniclers derived their
most interesting details on this event, is also preserved in the British Museum, and the
present Editor hopes to recommend it to the future attention of the Camden Society.
+ Str)-po"s extracts commence with a misapprehension as to the identity of the countess
of Southampton, as pointed out in the note, p. 313. Some other instances of his errors
are as follow: in his Ecclesiastical Memorials, vol. ii. p. 281, he mentions a " walling
watch " instead of " riding;" in p. 285 " coats of maile " instead of " marble;" in p. 371
the 7th of October for the 17th. In p. 397, two passages which belong to the year 1553
are ascribed to the year 1552. In vol. iii. p. 59, he kills deer with hands and swords
instead of hounds ; "in p. 301 he has the name of Wray for Verney ; in p. 310 he says a
lord bore queen Mary's train instead of lady Montagu ; in p. 384 he records the funeral
of Thomas Mildmay esquire instead of that of his wife ; in p. 385 he names ladj North
and lady Sentleger instead of lord North and sir Anthony St. Leger ; in p. 386 the name
olDorel instead of Tyrell ; in p. 452 the corpse of queen Mary " was brought out of her
chappel," instead of " brought out of her chamber into her chapel." In p. 298, besides
the Diarist's error of the name of Dacre for Darcy, Strype has altered the town of
"Roderam" into Rcdcjvnd ; and in p. 443 he changes the same into Roihtgam. In
Annals, vol. i. p. 169, he names St. Botolph's Billi„gsgate instead of Bishopsgate ; in p.
192 Chardin for Carden, or Cawardcn. In p. 196 he says, " The 20th, Bentham of Lon-
don Bridge (so styled in my MS.) where at St. Magnus he seems to have been Preacher,
now Bp. of Litchfield and Coventry, preached at St, Paul's :" but, by reference to p. 229,
the reader will find that the MS. tells a very different stoi-y, viz. that bishop Beuthara's
wife was that day brought to bed, at a house on London bridge : and there is nothing
to show he had any connection with St Magnus. In p. 235 he introduces the Earl of
Hunsdon instead of Lord Ilunsdon. These are a few of the more glaring out of many
minor errors whioh Strype committed in making his extracts, and in modernising at once
their orthography and their language. In many other cases he has slightly altered the
dates and numbers. The Editor has not thought it necessary to point all these out in the
notes • for, wherever any doubt may arise from discrepancies between Strype and the
present edition, it may t.e eaMly set at rest, as the original is perfectly accessible. It may
be hoped, howcxcr, that in the iie.\l edition of Strype all his extracts from Machyn will be
corrected from tlir Maiius<.iii.t.

original writer, however colloquial and ungrammatical that lan-
guage may be ; and as even this rude London language has some
philological interest, I have appended a brief glossarial index, at
the suggestion of one whose judgment on the subject will not be
disputed, and who has favoured me with his assistance in its com-
pilation,— Mr. Albert Way.
After the times became less stirring, when EUzabeth was
securely seated upon the throne, Strype has made but little use of
this Diary, which in that part is now for the first time made public.
There are also large portions throughout of matters which Strype
deemed of minor importance, but which are not without their
value, in illustration of the manners and customs of the age : these
have been hitherto unpublished, except by occasional extracts.*
The Diarist takes a lively interest in the pageantry and holiday-
making of the City, which were certainly esteemed by our ancestors
as matters more important and indispensable than they are by
their close-working posterity. He seldom fails to notice the shows
of Lord Mayor's day, the gay doings in May, or the mummeries
of Christmas ; and so deep was the impression which such per-
formances made upon his mind that, on the death of a past SherifT,
in 1557,t be recurs to the magnificence with which that gentle-
man had maintained his "lord of misrule,^' when in office five
years before.
Throughout the whole runs a pervading series of the Funerals
* In the Gentleman's Magazine for Oct. 18o3, p. 315, I extracted several passages
relative to the Lord Mayor's Shows (of which the Diarj- gives the earliest description); and
in the Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica, vol. iv. I extracted the funerals which
took place at .St. Dunstan's in the West. It is this Diary also that Mr. Collier has re-
peatedly quoted in his History of the Stage.

of the nobility and principal citizens,* in respect to which the
author was engaged in the way of his business. These records
will afford valuable assistance to the family historian and genealo-
gist ; and more especially so because they are antecedent in date to
the series of Funeral Certificatesf recorded in the College of Arms.
In the Notes the Editor has furnished references to all the
. works he could consult, as containing the epitaphs or pedigrees
of the same parties ; and with regard to the civic senators, he has
entered somewhat more fully into biographical and heraldic par-
ticulars, supposing such information may be especially looked for
in a London chronicle. Among these are several names which not
only London but their country is still proud to remember, as the
founders of some of the most flourishing sources of public educa-
tion— Sir Thomas White the founder of St. John's collese at
Oxford, Sir Andrew Judd of the grammar-school at Tunbridge,
Sir William Harper of that at Bedford, Sir Rowland Hill of that
at Drayton, and Sir William Laxton of that at Oundle.
It is a remarkable circumstance that in a diary extendino- over
only thirteen years, occasion should be given to notice nearly forty
contemporary aldermen — an evidence in part, perhaps, of the
prevalent mortality of the times, and in part of the advanced age
at which citizens were then raised to that honourable pre-
eminence. In one period of ten months no fewer than seven
Aldermen were removed from their mortal career.^

t These Certificate* commence in 1 ."iOT. There are, however, several Funerals of earlier
date upon record in the Cnllej^e of Arms, to which the Editor has been permitted to make
reference ; and he hai also availed liimself of a very valuable i\IS. in the Harleian Col-
lection (No. 89"), which contains brief reconlsof a large number of Funerals, principally
in the 16th century. /
+ See the note in p. T..').*?.
PREFACE. ix
The Diary, in fact, originated from the nature of the writer's
business as a furnisher of funeral trappings ; and it is at first a
mere record of the principal Funerals for which he was employed
to provide. Commencing in August 1550, he describes two
funerals in that and one in the following month, one in October,
and several in November, the last of which belongs to Christopher
Machyn, his own brother.
The first event of another kind commemorated is the committal
of Bishop Gardiner to the Tower in Feb. 1550-1; after which
he enters every occurrence that struck him as deserving of remem-
brance.
On religious matters his information is valuable, so far as it
represents the sentiments and behaviour of the common people at
this vacillating period of our ecclesiastical history. It is evident
from numerous passages that his own sympathies were inclined to
the old form of worship : which, indeed, in its pompous ceremonial,
was the best encourager of the craft by which he gained his liveli-
hood. He hailed with delight its re-establishment on the acces-
sion of Mary, and rejoices to chronicle all the ceremonies and pro-
cessions which then enlivened the churches and streets of the city.
From an extraordinary passage at p. 160, in which he mentions
the uncompleted performance of the communion by the Gos-
pellers at Islington, it is evident that, after having witnessed all
the "gospel light" of king Edward's reign, master Machyn had
still very confused ideas of the doctrines or objects of the
Reformation. At that period, too, he gave credit to the charge
made against Street the joiner for having drawn his dagger upon
a priest that bore the sacrament in procession on Corpus Christi

day ; whilst the same occurrence is explained by Foxe as a casual
and unpremeditated rencontre.* It is instructive, however, to
observe that, in common -with the population at large, he after-
wards took a great interest in the public sermons which were so
zealously multiplied by the new preachers ; at one of which it was
his fate to perform penance, in consequence of having spread
reports defamatory of master Veron, the French protestant
minister.f
With this exception the Diary contains scarcely anything of
personal adventure. It is as little egotistical as a private Diary
could well be. With all the dignity of an old chronicler the
writer even mentions himself in the third person, on the few oc-
casions that he makes his appearance, and in the unfortunate
penance affair he further disguises himself in French costume, — a
whim which has amusingly misled our Ecclesiastical Historian. :|:
Henry Machyn has twice noticed the occurrence of his birth-
day,§ from which we learn that he was more than fifty years of age
at the time the Diary commences, and approaching seventy at the
period of its close. In 1557 he records a birth in his family,|| but
* Strype has placed together both sides of the story, and in so doing regards our author
as a prejudiced witness, speaking of him as "the ^v^ite^ of the Journal whence I take this
and divers other things, otheririse a diHyent man.''^ Eccl. Memorials, vol. iii. p. 122.

X " At Paul's Cross a certain French Gentleman, named de Machin, sat at the sermon-
time [i.e. in the place of penance] for reporting," &c. (Annals, vol. i. p. 237.) Strype
was, perhaps, misled the more readily because the person slandered was himself a
Frenchman.
§ There seems to have been some little forgetfulness on this point about the old man,
as the two entries do not perfvctly agree. On the 16th May, 1554, he was fifty-six (p. 63);
and on the 20th May, 1562, he was sixty-six (p. 283).

SO obscurely that it is uncertain whether the child was his own or
no : possibly it was a grandchild. The " Harry Machyn inerchant-
taylor," mentioned shortly before,* seems to have been the Diarist
himself. His brother Christopher, who died in 1550,t was of the
same company.
Machyn himself has been taken by some for a herald, or at least
a painter employed by the heralds.J In the absence of any direct
proof of his occupation, I rather think that his business was in
that department of the trade of a merchant-taylor which we now
call an undertaker or furnisher of funerals. The banners, &c.
which he provided were probably painted by men who worked as
journeymen under his superintendence.
His parish, from several passages,§ is shown to have been that
of Trinity the Little, by Queenhithe ; ajid in Trinit3'-lane adjoining
was the Painter-Stainers' hall, in the vicinity of which would live
many of the workmen with whom he had so much to do.
From the attention which he paid to events in the family of
Hethe or Heath, it is highly probable that he was connected M'ith
it. Two married couple of this name are mentioned: John,
Serjeant of the King's bakehouse, who died and was buried at
Linton in Cambridgeshire, the seat of Philip Paris esquire,|( and
whose widow Annes was remarried to James Sutton, clerk of the
green cloth ;*[[ and John, a painter-stainer, dwelling in Fenciiurcn-
street, who died in 1552-3,** and his widow Annes in 155G. This

latter Annes I suspect, from the minuteness of our chronicler's
entry * of the event, to have been his own sister or daughter.f
I have traced nothing of the family of Machyn from any other
quarter. The only possible connection that I am aware of is an
alderman of Gloucester in the reign of James the First, to whom a
handsome monument still stands in that cathedral.J
The manuscript Diary (Vitellius F. v.) is one of those volumes
which suffered severely in the fire of the Cottonian Library ;
but, though much was burnt away from the upper parts and edges
of the pages, it does not appear that any leaves have been lost
since the time when it was employed by Strype.§ Indeed, the way
in which it commences, as already described, would show that
little, if anything, can have disappeared from the beginning ; and
the circumstance of its closing at a time when the plague was pre-
valent in London, renders it not improbable that the author was a
victim of that deadly scourge.
After the Cottonian fire the injured leaves of the Manuscript
were kept loose in a case until the year 1829, when they were

+ In the MS. Harl. 10'J6, at f. 49, is a pedigree of Heath, which states that John
Heath of Twickenham married Agnes Lee, and had issue 1. John and 2. Stephen. The
latter married Agnes, daughter of Mildmay of Chelmsford, and had issue Thomas, Wil-
liam, Mary wife of Lawrence Lynnes grocer, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Agnes. There
seems to ha\e been a decided partiality in the Heaths to the name of Agnes or Annes; if
this was the same family, the father and his two sons all selected wives of that name.

carefully arranged, and inlaid, under the superintendence of Sir
Frederick Madden, who recorded the accomplishment of his useful
labours by the following memorandum on a fly-leaf:
" The fragments forming the present Volume were formerly kept in a case,
■without any regard to order, and are thus described by Dr. Smith in his Cata-
logue :
" Cod. chartac. in fol. constans foliis solutis circiter 150. in pixide asser-
vatis, qu(B rite disponere frustra tentavimus.'
" By the aid of Strype, who made use of the MS. when perfect, and who
quotes largely from it, the leaves have been restored to their proper order ; the
chronology marked on each folio, and references given to the pages of Strvpc,
who often supplies the lacuna here visible. The curiosity and value of these
fragments seemed a sufficient warrant for the labour and time consumed in
arrangmg them in their present form. — F. M. 1829."
The first page of the MS. is shown to have been the original
first page, by its soiled and worn appearance. It bears a memo-
randum, scarcely legible, connected with the author's accompts,
" Remem' y^ my lade Masun('s) byll (for) armes and hers in
m penter in . . . ."
It only remains to be added that the deficiencies, occasioned by
the partial loss of the manuscript from fire, have been supplied in
the present edition, either from Strype where he had quoted the
injured passages, or in some other cases by conjecture from the
context, such supplied readings being always distinguished by
brackets [ ] and by modern orthography. Parentheses ( ) have
sometimes been introduced to complete sentences left grammati-
cally imperfect by the writer : and most of the obscurities of his
spelling are made clear by the marginal notes.
OFFICERS OF STATE
DURING THE PERIOD OF THIS DIARY.
According to the usage of the times .many of the great nobility and
courtiers are named by our Diarist under their titles of office. As there is
no ready means of ascertaining their names (the best lists extant, those in
Beatson's Political Index, being incorrect and very incomplete at this period
of our history), it will be useful to consult the following lists, which have
been compiled from authentic documents, and include references to certain
passages of the Diary in which the parties are mentioned. They commence
with the accession of Edward the Sixth. In the case of Bishops the same
difficulty does not exist : and, indeed, the Editor has generally added their
names in the marginal notes.

which (through St^^-pe) has found its way into Bayley's History of the Tower, p. SO. Sir
James Crofts, however, was certainly not Constable : he may have been Lieutenant of the
Tower.
Stowe incorrectly terms sir John Gage " lieutenant " at the time of the dute of
Northumberland's execution in 1553.
On Sir John Gage's death, in 1556, the constableship is stated by Bayley, History of
the Tower, p. 663, to have devolved, in pursuance of a reversionary grant, on sir Edmund
Bray : but sir Edmund Bray had been long dead, in 1539. Indeed, that work affords

NOTE UPON FUNERALS.
As Funerals occupy so large a share of the ensuing pages, it may be
acceptable to give references to some other accounts of a ceremonial on
which so much time and expense was bestowed in former times.
Of Royal Funerals, that of Elizabeth queen of Henry VII. is printed
in the Antiquarian Repertory ; that of her son Arthur prince of Wales in
Leland's Collectanea ; that of king Henrv the Eighth is inserted at leng:th
in the Appendix to Strype's Ecclesiastical Memorials ; that of queen
Mary is in Leland's Collectanea ; and that of queen Elizabeth in the
Vetusta Monumenta of the Society of Antiquaries, and Nichols's Progresses
of queen Elizabeth, Those of Henry prince of Wales, queen Anne of Den-
mark, and king James the First, are also printed at length in the Pro-
gi-esses, &c. of king James I. and that of the Protector Oliver in Noble's
House of Cromwell.
Of nobility, the funeral of Margaret duchess of Norfolk, 1563, is printed
in Lord Braybrooke's History of Audley End ; those of George earl of
Shrewsbury, 1541, and Francis earl of Shrewsbury, 1560, in Hunter's History
of Hallamshire; those of Robert earl of Sussex, 1542, and Henrv
earl of Sussex, 1556, in Wilson's History of the Parish of St. Lawrence
Pountney ; those of Muriel viscountess Lisle, 1505, Sir Thomas Lovell,
K.G. 1524, and John lord Dray, 1557, in Lysons's Environs of London ;
that of John Islyppe abbat of Westminster, 1532, in the Vetusta Monumenta,
vol. iv. ; and that of sir Humphrey Stanley, 1505, in Malcolm's Londinium
Redivivum. The dates of all these are antecedent to the regular Funeral
Certificates. Of the latter, several have been published in Bigland's Obser-
vations on Parish Registers, 1764, in the Collectanea Topographica et
Genealogica and its sequel the Topographer and Genealogist, and others
interspersed in various topographical works.
The funeral of Edward Karl of Derby, in 1572, is described at great
length in Colliiis's Peerage, edit. 1779, in Dallaway's Heraldry, 4to. 1793,
and in Nichols's Illustrations of the Manners and Expenses of Ancient
Times, 4to. 1797.
The general writers on Heraldry have of course something to sav on
NOTE UPON FUNERALS. XXI
Funerals ; but it seems little and unsatisfactory when compared with the
abundant materials which are stored in the MS. collections of their prede-
cessors. The twenty folio pages devoted to this subject in Edmondson's
" Complete Body of Heraldry," are very ill digested, and chiefly occupied
with papers belonging to the more recent disputes between the College and
the painters from the reigns of Charles II. to George II. when the ancient
state and cost of these funeral pomps had nearly fallen -into disuetude, and
the interested parties were consequently quarrelling (as, indeed, they had
often done before,) over the little that remained. In these pages of Ed-
mondson, however, will be found three formularies, — for the funerals of a
Countess, an Earl's daughter, and an Earl, all temp. Eliz. ;* but he tells us
nothing of the funerals of Citizens, upon which the Author of the present
Diary details so much, though generally more in the way of eulogy than
regular description, and consequently in a manner that seems to require the
marshal's staff to restore the confused groups to their original order.
The Editor has consequently selected two or three documents of a more
formal character, which will supply that arrangement in which master
Machyn's descriptions are deficient, and will render intelligible some matters
in which he is occasionally obscure.
The first is the Funeral of an Alderman before the Reformation (in the
year 152-3,) from the records of the Drapers' Company :
" The right worshipfull sir William Roche knight and alderman, decessyd

they had a collacion made by sir Stephen. After which coUacion the herald
appointed the chief mourners, in order, to oifer up the target, sword, and

mayor, the aldermen, the livery, and others, which offering went to the
poor. Then the whole communion was ministered. After which done, the
herald again going before, there followed him the banner-bearers, and
offered the banners also ; and then, in order, again the mourners, my lord

dined all, save the livery of this fellowship, which dined in the Drapers'
Hall, by reason he had given them towards the same vj^. xiij^. iiijf?. which

of her gentylnes, sent moreover four gallons of French wine, and also a box

In " The order observed by the Lord Maior, the Aldermen, and Sheriffes

Aldermen — the last love, duty, and ceremony one to another. The Alder-
men are to weare their violet gownes, except such as have (of their friends'
allowance) blacke gownes or mourning.* When an Alderman dieth, master
Swordbearer is to have a blacke gowne, or three and thirty shillings and
fourepence in money. And if the Alderman deceased doe give the Lord
Maior mourning, then master Swordbearer is to have mourning also, or
forty shillings in money as the value thereof, and so to carry the Sword in
blacke before the Lord Maior. Master Chamberlain is not to weare his
tippet but when the Lord INIaior or Aldermen doe weare their scarlet or

but had refused to give the master, wardens, and clerk each a ring &c. ac-
cording to his agreement, the persons invited being served -w-ith gloves,
hatbands, and rings. Ordered, the said undertaker be compelled to per-
forme his agreement as the master and wardens shall direct.
A few observations may now be added on the various accessories em-
ployed at Funerals, and first of the several kinds of flags (to use that some-
what undignified word for want of a better generic term). The more
ancient varieties of these insignia were Banners and Penons ; the former of
which answered to the " colours " of modern armies : the latter was the
appendage of a weapon, — the lance.
The Banner was originally oblong in form, that is, about twice the depth
of its width, thus corresponding to the early fashion of the shield; but latterly
it grew to be nearly square. It displayed the armorial coat of its owner,
spread entirely over its surface. The royal standard, as it is now called, is
more properly a banner.
The Standard was originally an ensign too large to be borne by a man
into battle : it was fixed on a can-iage and placed in the centre of the host,
■where it remained stationary, as their rallying point ; or, in the absence of
alarm, it was posted at the entrance of the commander's tent. But after-
wards standards were also made "to be borne." In the reign of Henry VIII.
the King's standard for this purpose was of less dimensions than that set
before his pavilion ; and those of other persons were graduated accordino- to
their owner's rank, from the duke's standard of seven yards and a half in
length, to the knight's of only four.* Standards diff'ered from banners, not
* See Excerpta Historica, 1S31, p. 50; where, in line 22, for '* two yards" read ten.
NOTE UPON FUNERALS. XXVll
only in form, but in not bearing the arms of their masters. Every standard
and guydon was " to have in the chief (that is, next the staff,) the cross of
Saint George ; next, the beast (the modern supporter) or crest, with his
devise or word (his motto) ; and to be slit at the end." The standards borne
at funerals, as mentioned in the present volume, were made after this model.
Standards became more frequent in use than banners. They were borne
by knights ; but banners were confined to bannerets and persons of higher
rank.
The Guydon resembled the standard, but was only two and a half or
three yards in length ; and it was allowed to esquires,* or lieutenants. Its
derivation was the French Guide-homme ; but the word was corrupted to
guydon, gytton, and geton.f
In the musters described in pp. 1*2, 19, the distinction of the Banner,
Standard, and Guydon may be observed. Only one great Banner appeared,
that of the king, carried by his pensioners ; the great lords each displayed
their Standards ; the earl of Warwick (the duke of Northumberland's son),
the lord admiral, and master treasurer Cheney had only Guy dons.
At funerals banners and bannerolls seem to have been allowed to all
peers and their ladies ; standards, but not banners, to all knights and their
ladies ; penons, but not standards, to esquires. Mere gentlemen had no
penons, but only scocheons of arms.
In p. 6, therefore, where the word " banners " has been inadvertently
supplied to the funeral of a knight's widow, we should read only penons (as
before in the same page); and in p. 8 master Henry Williams would bo
buried only with a penon of arms, like the esquire in the next paragraph. J
Sir Anthony Wingfield had a banner at his funeral (p. 24), as had
other knights of the Garter ; and sir William Sydney (p. 31) had the same

\ See pp. 13, 19. The word " costerells'' in p. 13 remains unexplained.
X In p. 307 Machyn himself has committed the inadvertence of mentioning the
" banner ot arms" of master Cholmley the recorder; but from the church notes of the
herald Nicholas Charles, we are assured it was only a penon, as he saw in Saint Dunstan's
church all the three penons which were carried at this funeral; one of the city of London,
one of the Mercers' company, and the third of his own arms. See the Collectanea Topo-
graphica et Genealogica, vol. jv. p. 102".
XXVUl NOTE UPON FUNERALS.
distinction, being a knight banneret (see the quotation from his epitaph in
p. 329).
The Penon displayed at funerals (at which we do not meet with guydons)
also resembled the standard in form, but was of a less size, and was rounded,
instcad'of slit, at the end. It was also entirely different in its charges ; as
it bore the arms of the party, like the banner. This being the case, it was
not superseded where a standard appeared, but always accompanied it,
unless there were banners and bannerols.
The BanneroUs were banners of increased width, made to display impale-
ments, representing the alliances of the ancestors of the deceased ; as the duke
of Norfolk (p. 70) had a dozen of bauerolls of his "progeny" or pedigree;
and at lady Cobham's funeral were nine banners of arms "of his and her
pedigree" (p. 213); and they are sometimes mentioned as banners or
bannerolls of marriages (pp. 244, 291, &c.).
But, if banners of arms were confined to persons of high rank, there was
another kind of banner which was probably allowed to all who were inclined
to pay for it. During the prevalence of the rites of the church of Rome,
we meet with Banners of Images, (pp. 59, 61, 70, 81, 83, &c.) which
were square, and represented either the personification of the Trinity or the
figures of saints. Their number is almost uniformly four, and they were
carried about the corpse, "at the four corners" (p. 155), but in two
instances only two are mentioned.
The rich citizens of London * increased their funeral pomp with penons
of the arms of the city and of the companies to which they belonged, in
addition to one of their own arms. Thus, master Hussey (p. 237) had as
many as five, which would be, 1 . his own ; 2. the city's ; 3. the merchant-
adventurers' ; 4. the merchants' of Muscovy, and 5 the haberdashers'.
Pensels, the diminutive of penon, penicillus, were very small, like the
vanes which sometimes terminate the pinnacles of pointed architecture, or
the ironwork of the same period. They were supplied in large quantities,
as at the funeral of sir William Goring there was a herse of wax, and eight
dozen of pensels, and eight dozen of scocheons ; the pensels and scocheons
being chiefly, if not entirely, to deck out the herse. The queen of Spain's
* In the civic shows, particularly on the river, there was always abundance of banners
and of streamers (pp. 38, &:c.) In the Clerks' procession in 1555 there were a hundred
streamers borne (p. 8S). They were the peculiar flags of shipping.
NOTE UPON FUNERALS. XXIX
herse (p. 90) took no less than thirty-six dozen of pensels ; and so many as
a thousand pensels, as well as flags and streamers, were used to adorn the
two pinnaces in the lord mayor's water show in 1555 (p. 96).
A Herse is occasionally mentioned by our author ; but the term was not
then applied in its modern sense. With few exceptions the corpse was
carried by men, whether on their shoulders or in a bier is not stated. The
bodies of king Edward, queen Mary, the earl of Bedford, and the marchio-
ness of Winchester (pp. ^0, 83, 182, 187), were conveyed in "charetts;"
that of bishop Gardiner in *' a wagon with iiij. wheels all covered with black"
(p. 101) ; that of sir John Haryngton "went into the country in a horse-
litter " (p. 43), and in the same way that of lady Cawarden was conveyed
to Blechingley (p. 225). But the Herse was, on grand occasions, ready to
receive the corpse when it had arrived within the church : having been
erected a day or two before (see pp. 155, 189, &c.) It was a frame " made
of timber,* and covered with black, and armcs upon the black," (pp. 44, 70).
The grandest are often mentioned as being " of five principals," (pp. 1 11,
155, 173, 189, &c.) and that of lady Anna of Cleves was of seven fp. 145).
Bishop Gardiner's was a herse of four branches (p. 97). The marchioness
of Winchester's (p. 188) was "a herse of wax, adorned with eight dozen
pensells, and arms and scocheons, and garnished with angels and arch-
angels." The term " herse of wax " is one of continual recurrence (pp. 41,
71, 160, &c.), and is to be understood not of the material of the herse
itself, but of the candles and tapers with which it was covered, and which,
perhaps, in some cases, where economy was studied, were of tallow instead
of wax. In the Vetusta Monumenta will be found an engraving of the
herse of abbat Islyppe at Westminster, with all its lights burning. In some
instances Machyn mentions, in further commendation of the herse, its " fair
majesty, and valence gilded and fringed," (pp. 43, 160, 244), which may be
supposed to have been a canopy or termination of the whole. The goodliest
herse that he ever saw was that erected in Saint Paul's cathedral for the
queen of Spain, which he has described in p. 90.
Ill the absence of a " herse of wax,'' there was an abundance of other
lights ; as, for instance, at the funeral of lady Bowes (p. 46), four great gilt

candlesticks, four great tapers, and two great white branches, besides twelve
staff-torches borne by her servants.
The Herse-cloth was another sumptuous article of funereal pomp. That
used at the funeral of the lady Anna of Cleves was " a herse-cloth of gold,"
(p. 146) ; and that at the king of Portugal's obsequies (misnamed Den-
mark's in p. 148), was " a goodly herse-cloth of tensell, the crosse of cloth
of silver." Every parish kept a herse-cloth for the use of the inhabitants,
for the loan of which at St. [Margaret's Westminster the churchwardens
received viijrf. in the reign of queen Mary. The city companies had still
more magnificent herse-cloths for their members, whose funerals they
attended, and some of these are still preserved. That of the Fishmongers,
which is beautifully embroidered with designs representing their patron
Saint Peter, has been engraved in Miss Lambert's volume on Church
Needlework. The Sadlcrs' company also preserve their herse-cloth,* and
so do the Brewers.
The wardens of the Goldsmiths in 3 Hen. VIII. showed the company the
goodly and rich herse-cloth which was made with the goods of sir Hugh
Brice, dame Elizabeth his wife, and dame Elizabeth Terrell ; when it was
agreed that the said cloth should not be lent to any other person than a
goldsmith, or a goldsmith's wife ; that, whenever used, the company assem-
bled should pray, as well for the said two donors' souls as for the soul of
the said dame Elizabeth Terrell ; and that the beadle should have for his
safeguard and attendance at least xij^/.f
The Drapers had a burial-cloth given to them in 1518 by alderman John
Milborne and his lady, " late the wife and executrix of John Chester, whilst
he lived Draper of London." It is described as *' a beryall-cloth of the
value of j'^. markes, for the wcle of the soul of the said John Chester in
especiall, and all other his good friends in geuerall.":|:
Nor did the Reformation lead to the disuse of these public funerals, and
the corporate provision made for them. In the middle of Elizabeth's reign,
in the year 1572, John Cawoode (who had been printer to queen Mary)
left to the Stationers' company *' a herse-cloth of cloth of gold, poudervd
with blew velvet, and bordered abought with blacke velvet, embroidered and
steyned with blew, yellow, red, and green."

NOTE UPON FUNERALS. XXXI
There were also other insignia which were necessary adjuncts of the
funeral furniture, as they were offered at the altar before the conclusion of
the ceremonies (see pp. xxii. xxiii,), and afterwards suspended in the
church. These were usually carried by the heralds. At the earl of Bed-
ford's funeral (p. 83) there officiated (besides master Garter) five heralds,
who bore, 1. his helmet, mantles, and crest; 2. his banner of arms ; 3. his
target with the garter ; 4. his coat-armour ; and 5. his sword. With the
exception of the banner and the garter, those several articles will be found
mentioned on everj occasion ; and, in place of the banner, the standard or
the penon were substituted for inferior ranks, as already stated.
The Helmet is still seen lingering in some country churches : it is seldom
found to be more than a fictitious helmet, made for the purpose to which it
is applied. In early times a knight's real helmet was offered ; but such
have now almost eutirely disappeared, having proved too tempting objects
of antiquarian curiosity or cupidity.
The 3Iantles, which used to be made of black velvet (see pp. 126, 127),
and the Crest, have now generally perished from decay ; and the tattered
fragments of the banner and standard have fallen from their poles.
The Target was a shield of the arms of the defunct, the successor of the
knight's real shield, like that of Edward the Black Prince, which is still
suspended over his tomb at Canterbury.*
The Coat-Armour was made like a herald's tabard, worked or painted
before and behind with the same arms, and which were also repeated on
its short sleeves.
The Sword was generally of the same description as the helmet, made
rather for show than for use.
The lowest description of heraldic ensign allotted for Funerals was the
Scocheon, INIere gentlemen had no penon ; but as many scochcons as
were desired. " Master Coldwell gentleman, and a lawyer " was buried
" with half a dozen scocheons of buckeram " (p. 309). Mistress Draper
(p. 144) had two dozen. A gentleman of Gray's Inn, who, perhaps, had
no arms of his own, was buried with six " scocheons of arms of the house,"
I. e. the arms of his Hon. Society.
But the funerals of the higher ranks were also provided with scocheons,f
* See the interesting account of its recent examination by the Rev. C. H. Ilartshome.
i' It was a practice (and which was kept up until recent times) for amhassadors to leave
scocheons at the houses where they slept. An instance occurs in p. 248 of the earl of
XXXll NOTE UPON FUNERALS.
in addition to their other insignia, and that sometimes profusely, — to the
extent of four, six, or eight dozen; and at the funeral of sir Ralph Warren
alderman there were no less than twelve dozen : together with his standard
as a knight, and five penons, like master Hussey, already instanced.
These scocheons were the prototypes of our modern hatchments. Originally
made of some perishable material, and fastened up in the churches, they
were required to be painted on panel, in order to last longer ; and from
these small atchievements on panel (still to be found in some country
churches) they have grown into the large and unwielding frames of canvas
now spread on the front of modern mansions, or stretched on the roof of
the chancel or aisle, the walls of which scarcely offer sufficient space for
their accommodation.
In p. 291 master Machyn is communicative as to the materials of which
his articles were made. He there mentions scocheons of metal, of silk, of
buckerara, of paper royal, and of pasted paper. In p. 290 he speaks of a herse
of velvet and a pall of velvet ; in p. 293 a black velvet pall with a white cross
of satin and arms upon it ; in p. 297 a pall of black velvet with arms upon
buckeram scocheons. He elsewhere mentions a coat-armour as made of damask
(p. 1 16). The royal mantles for the French king (p. 209) were of cloth of
gold ; but they were usually of black velvet, as is repeatedly mentioned.
The appearance of a set of funeral trophies, as left suspended in a church,
is shown in the following engraving, from a sketch by Nicholas Charles in
the MS. Lansdowne 874. They are those of sir John White, who was
lord mayor of London in 1563, and was buried in 1573 in the church of
Aldershot in Hampshire (see a note respecting hira in p. 405). He had,
it will be seen, a standard as a knight ; four penons, of his own arms, the
city of London, the merchant-adventurers, and the grocers ; a coat-armour ;
a target ; helmet, ci*est, and mantles ; and sword. His armorial coat was,
Per fess azure and or, a pale counterchanged, three fountains two and one,
and three lion's heads one and two. The crest, a lion's head erased
quarterly azure and or, guttee de sang in each quarter.
It will be observed that peculiar rests of iron were made for the reception
of these trophies, which were inserted in the wall of the church. Suspended
on these, they were left to testify to the worldly grandeur of the defunct so
long as their fragile materials might endure.

NOTES.
Page 1. Thovias Wriot?i.esley , earl of Southampton. The first person noticed by our
funereal chronicler was one of the most remarkable men of his age : one who had attained
the summit of the law, and who was aspiring to the summit of the state. The historian
Carte attributes his death to mortified ambition, and so does Lord Campbell in his
recent Lives of the Chancellors : on this part of his history see the Archaeologia, vol. xxx.
p. 468.
It should be remarked that, though the body of the earl of Southampton was at first
buried in Saint Andrew's Holborn, it was afterwards removed to Tiehfield in Hampshire,
where a sumptuous monument with his ettigy still exists. There is a fine portrait of him
in Chamberlain's Holbein Heads.
Ibid. Funeral of aldeiinan sir Williarn Locke. He was a member of the Mercers'
company, and sheriff of London in 1548. Not living to be lord mayor, he died "in his
howsse in Bow lane the xxiiij''' of August in the 4. of Edward the 6, and buryed 27. day
of the same mounth in the Mercers' chcrclie St. Thomas of Acres." MS. Harl. 897, f. 15.
Stowe notes " Locke his armes in the winJowes " of that church. Lady Locke died on
the 5th Deo. 1551 ; and the imperfect funeral in p. 12 perhaps belongs to her. See an
historical account of the Locke family in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1792, vol. LX.
p. 799 ; also Lord King's Life of Locke, and the Autobiography of sir John Bramston,
where at p. 9 are some traditional anecdotes of sir William Locke (but for 1530 read
1533).
P. 2. Funeral of the countess of ffampion. Mabel daughter of Henry lord ClifTord,
and sister to Henry first earl of Cumberland. Her husband Willium FitzWilliam, earl of
Southampton, K.Ct. died without issue in 1543, and was buried at iMidhurst in Sussex.
Strype, Mem. vol. ii. p. 2S3, has appended this lady's funeral to the particulars he
had taken from our Duary of the funeral of the first earl of Southampton of the Wrio-
thesleys (as mentioned in p. 1). " And SejA. 1," he says, " his Lady and AVidow was
buried at Farnham : Who had sometime been the wife of sir William Fitz-Williams, Lord
Pri\7 Seal to King Henry VIII." — evidently unaware that sir William FitzWilliam had
also been earl of Southampton, and that it was from the lady's union with him that she
acquired the title of countess, and not from sir Thomas Wriothesley, to whom she was not
related,
CAMD. SOC. 2 S
314 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
P. 2. Funeral ofjitdge Hyvde. Sir John Hynde, made a seijeant at law 1535, a judge
of the Common Pleas 1546. AVlien Nicholas Charles surveyed the church of St. Dun-
stan's in the West, the amiorial insignia of sir John Hynde (made by our diarist) were
remaining over his tomb : see them described in Collectanea Topogr, et Geneal. 1837,
vol. iv. p. 100. Nicholas Charles was wrong in styling him " Chief Justice of the
Common Pleas."
Ibid. Funeral of the counUss of Derhij. Anne, daughter of Edward lord Hastings and
Hungerford, and sister to George first earl of Huntingdon of that name, was married
(before 1503, when her eldest son John was buried, at St. James's, Garlick Hill) to
Thomas Stanley, second earl of Derby, who died at his house at Colham in the parish of
Hillingdon, Middlesex, ilay 23, 1521, and was buried in the neighbouring monastery of
Syon. She was the mother of Edward third earl of Derby. It is stated in Collins's
Peerage (edit. 1812, iii. 69) that she was married secondly to John RatclifFe, lord Fitz-
walter, but that is impossible, for he died in 1495, Sir Edward Hastings, who attended
her funeral, afterwards lord Hastings of Loughborough and K.G., was her nephew. The
The word se left imperfect fp. 2) was probably sectur (executor).
P. 3. Funeral of sir James Wylford. The blank in this passage may be filled up -with
" Scotland." See the Memoirs of Lord Grey of Wilton, by Sir Philip Egerton, p. 47.
Sir James Wiliord was knighted by the duke of Somerset after the taking of Leith, Sept.
28, 1 547. Holinshed also mentions the circumstance of his being taken prisoner at Dunbar
in 1549, by a Gaseoigne of the country- of Basque called Pellicque, "that won no smal
conimendation for that his good happe, in taking such a prisoner, whose name for his
often approved prowes was so famous among the enimies." This noble captain was of a city
family, which had buried for some generations at St. Bartholomew the Little. James
Wilford, taylor, one of the sherifls 1499, founded by will a sermon there on Good Friday
for ever. John Wilford, merchant-taylor, alderman, was buried there 1544. (Stowe.)
Ibid. Funeral of sir Richard Manners. The paragraph of the diary partly defaced
belongs to the funeral of an uncle of the earl of Rutland, whom we find thus noticed in
another place : " Sir Rychard Manners knight dyed the Lx''' of February a°. r. E. vj. v'°.
and was beryed at Kateren Crj-st churche the 14. of the same mounth ; and the right
honorable Henry erl of Rutland was his hole executer and over-syer of his last W7II, to
whom he gave all his goodes and landes." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 14.) Sir Richard Manners
was twice married, as may be seen in the peerages.
Ibid. Funeral of lord WentKOiiJi. " March 3. The lord Wentworth lord chambar-
laine died about tcnne of the cloke at night, leaving behind him 16 children." (King
Edward's Diary.) " Thomas lord Wentworth, lord chamberlan of the kinges majesties
most honcrahle houshold, dyed in the kinges majesties paleys at Westmynster on tewsday
the 3. of Marche in the 5 yere of E. the 6. and from thence broughte to his house at
Westmynster and was buryed in the mynster there on Saterday the 7. of Marche

folowing." (MS. Harl. 897, f. TS*".) A longer account of liis funeral is preserved in tlie
College of Arms, I. 11, f. 115. He was buried in the chapel of St. John the Evangelist (Dart
ii. 60), but has no monument. There is a portrait of him among Chamberlain's Holbein
Heads.
P. 4. Proclamation for keeping Lent. A printed copy of this proclamation is preserved
in the valuable collection of proclamations, &c. in the library of the Society of Antiquaries.
The word printed " co[ndemned ?] " in the text of our Diary should be altered to " com-
monly accepted or reputed as a fishe day."
Ibid. The murder of master Arden, of Fever sham. The particulars of this memorable
domestic tragedy will be found very fully narrated in Holinahed's Chronicle ; and from the
Wardmote Book of Feversham in Jacob's History of that town, 8vo. 1774, p. 197. See
also a long narrative among Stowe's transcripts, MS. Harl. 542, ff. 34-37. It created so
great a public interest that it became the subject not only of a Ballad which will be found
in Evans's collection, 1810, vol. iii. pp. 217-225 ; but also of a Piny published in 4to.
1592, again in 1599 and 1633, and lastly in 1770, when the editor, Edward Jacob, esq.
who afterwards published the History of Feversham above mentioned, in his preface offered
" some reasons in favour of its being the earliest dramatic work of Shakspeare now remam-
ing." Air. Collier's remarks on this subject will be found in his Historj' of the Stage and
of Dramatic Poetry, iii. 52. Lillo also began a tragedy founded on the same story, which
was finished by Dr. John Hoadly, and printed in 12mo. 1762.
The concern taken by the government in the prosecution of the parties guilty of this
murder, is show-n by the following extracts from the Privy Council book : — •
" 1551, 5''' Marche. A Lettere to the Justyccs of Peace in Kente, advertesinge them the
order taken for the punishmente of those that murdered Mr. Ardeyrn ; Videliset, Sicely
Pounder, widowe, and Thomas Mosbye, to be hanged in Smithfield, in London ; Alice
Ardeyrn, to be burned at Canterburye, and Bradshawe, to be hanged there in cheanes ;
Michaell Saunderson, to be hanged, drawne, and quartered, at Feversham, and Elizabeth
Stafford to be burned there." (MS. Harl. 352, fol. 15G''.) On the same day, "A Letter
to the Sherifes of London, to receave of the Slierife of Kent, Cicelye Poundere, widowe,
and Thomas Mosbye, to be hanged in Smithfield, for the ISIurder of Thomas Ardcine of
Fevershame ; and a Letter to the Maiore of Canterburye, to receave of the Sherifeof Kente
Alice Ardeine, to be burned at Canterburje, and Bradshawe, to be hanged there, for the
Murder of Mr. Ardeine." (lb. fol. 157.)
The actual murderer, and also one Grcono, a confederate, had escaped. The following
entries will be found to correct and explain Holinshed's account of their capture.
"1551, 28"' May. A Lettere to Air. North, to enlarge one Bateout of thccountere, who
convayed away one Greene, of Fevershame, after the INIurdere of Mr. Ardeine was ther
don, and undertaketh to brynge furthe Greene again, yf he may have libertie ; providinge
that be take sufficient sureties, either to become prisonere againe, or else to bringe forthe
the said Greene." (lb. fol. 174.)
"1551, 15"* June. A Letter to S^ William Godolphine knighte, of thankes for his
316 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
dilligence in the apprehencione of Blacke Will, that killed Mr. Arderne of Feversham,
and to send him in saufe garde, with promise of paymente for the charges of the bringeres."
It appears from Holinshed and from our Diary (in which this person is called Black Tom,)
that he was not sent home, according to this request, but was " burnt on a scaffold, at
Flushing, in Zealand."
"1551, SO"" June. A Lettere to the Lord Chancellor, to directe out a Comission for
gaoll delivery unto the Maiore of Feversham and otheres, for the attaynder of Greene,
alredie indicted for the Murder of Mr. Ardeine." (lb. fol. 180.)
"A Warraute to the receiver of the "Wardes, to pay unto them that apprehended Greene
of Feversham, xx markes, for their costes in bringing him hether, and conveying him to
Feversham, to be hanged.
"A Lettere to the Maiore of Feversham, and certain otheres, upon the attainder of Greene,
to see him hanged in chaynes." (lb. fol. 180''.) This direction was complied with, Greene
being hanged in chaines, according to Holinshed, " in the high waie betwixt Ospring and
Boughton against Feversham." (Holinshed, iii. 1030. edit. 1808.)
P. 4. The lady Mai-y rode to St. John's, her itlace. That is, to the house of the late
knights hospitallci-s at Clerkenwell. On the circumstances of the princess's visit to court
at this time see her brother's diary in Burnet.
P. 5. A great triumph at Greemcirh. Thus noticed in the King's diary:
" March 31. A chaleng made by me that I, with 16 of my chaumbre, shuld runne at
base, shote, and rune at ring, with any 17 of my servauntes, gentlemen in the court." —
" May 3. The chaleng at running at ringc performed, at the wich first came the kinge,
16 footmen, and 10 hor[se]men, in blake silk cootes pulled out with wight tafeta ; then
al lordes, having three [«c. riu. their] men likewise appareled, and al gentlemen, ther
footmen in whit fustian pulled out with blake taveta. The tether side came al in yelow
tafta. At lenght the yelow band toke it thrise in 120 courses, and my band tainted often,
wich was counted as nothing, and toke never, wich seemed verj- straunge, and so the price
was of my side lost. After that turnay folowed, betwen 6 of my band and sixe ofthers."
Ibid. Chester the receiver took possession of the hall of the company of Clerhs of
London. Sir Robert Chester was receiver of the court of augmentations. This proceed-
ing is notified a few months before in the minutes of the Pri\7 Council : "16 March,
1550. A lettere to the Chauncelor of the augmcntacion to put the kinges majestie in posses-
sion agayne of the Clorkcs hall in London, if the law will suffer it ; yf not, to repaire to
the Lordes to shewe cause of the impedimcnte therof." The company of Clerks seems to
have been more liable to this attack than the other city companies, from being regarded
as a reliffioiis foundation. Their hall stood in Bishopsgate street, and Stowe has related
the story of its subsequent fate, sir Robert Chester pulling it down, when the fraternity
had commenced a suit for its recovery in the reign of queen Mary.
P. 6. Funeral of ladij Morice. Stowe mentions the interment at St. Peter's Cornhill
NOTES. 317
of sir Christopher Morice, master gunner of England, temp. Henry VIII. His lady appears
to have had a previous husband, and, though she lived and died in that parish, was
removed to the church of St. Olave's to be laid by his side. There was a family connec-
tion between sir Christopher Morice and Arthur Plantagenet, viscount Lisle ; see Miss
Wood's Letters of Royal and Illustrious Ladies, ii. 76, iii. 35. " The Shott the curate "
was of St. Peter's in Cornhill ; see p. 13, and note hereafter.
P. 6. Uarthqiial-e. " The 25. daye of May, beyng Monday, betwene the howers of
eleven and one of the clock at afternoone, was an earthquake of halfe a quarter of a
howre long at Blechynglye, at Godstone, at Croydon, at Albery, and at divers other places
in Southery and Myddlesexe." Stowe's Summarie.
P. 7. The ling snitped at Dcptford. JIachyn has dated this event two days too late.
It is thus recorded in the king's own diary : "4.1 was banketted by the lord Clinton at
Detford, where I saw the Primrose and the Marie AVilloughby launched."
Ibid. Death of lord Croniicell. Gregory lord Cromwell died on the 4th of July 1551,
and was buried at Laund in Leicestershire : his mural monument there is engraved in
Nichols's History of that County, vol. iii. pi. xlv.
Ibid. Death of lord Pauls. Edward third lord Grey of Powis. The funeral of his
•widow, a daughter of Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk, occurs in p. 163.
Ibid. Sir John Luttrell, of Dunster castle, co, Somerset, knighted at the taking of
Leith in 1547, and made a knight banneret soon after, at the taking of Yester.
Just before his death he had been divorced from his wife, for Strype notices " A Com-
mission to sir William Pttre, secretary, sir Richard Read, &c. upon due proof of the
manifest adultery of the lady Mary Luttrel, to separate and divorce her from sir John
Luttrel her husband. Dated in June, 1551." (Memorials, Book ii, chap. 29.) Sho
was the daughter of sir John Griffith, K.B. and was remarried to James Godolphin, of
Cornwall,
Ibid. Proclamations for depreciation of the coinage. Printed copies of these procla-
mations are in the collection in the library of the Society of Antiquaries, and their
substance is stated in Ruding's Annals of the Coinage, 4to. 1817, ii. 107. Mr. Ruding,
in a note in that page, throws some discredit on king Edward's accuracy as to dates in his
Diary ; but on that point it may be remarked that the proclamations were clearly prepared
by the privy council some days before it was thought proper to make them public. The
proclamation which according to the present diary was made known in London on the
8th of July, is printed with a blank date, " the of June."
A remarkable example of the effect produced by this depreciation of the currency
is given in the account of Arden's murder in the Wardmote book of F^eversham. The
proceeds of the murderei-s' effects, after the payment of expenses, amounted " after the old

rate," to 120^ " whereof there was lost by abasing or fall of the said money 60?." la
consequence of this act of government rumours were current that further abasements were
contemplated ; and " By the letteres from London " it was reported " that on the 25.
days of July, or on St. James' daye, was a proclamation deckringe it was not the kinge
nor his counseles intente to altere or abase any more his coynes yet ; for heare wee greate
rumors that in all haste, and that prively, the kinge and couusell was busye aboute the
alteringe thearof, to be done out of hand, whearuppon many men wane their debts, which
else would not have byn payde this vij. yeares." (MS. Harl. 353, f. 107.)
In the journals of the Privy Council are frequent entries relative to the prosecution of
persons guilty of predicting further depreciations.
Ibid. Funeral of sir Thomas Speke. Sir Thomas Speke was an eminent lawyer : he
was steward of the royal manors of Greenwich, &c. and keeper of Eltham palace. His
funeral achievements were remaining in St. Dunstan's church in the time of Nicholas
Charles, as described in the Collectanea Topogr. et Genealog. iv. 9S ; and from them it
appears that he married a Berkeley.
P. 8. Death of sir John Wallop, K.G. He died and was buried at Guisnes. Full
particulars of him will be found in Collins's Peerage, edit. 1779, v. 64, with an abstract
of his will, dated May 22, 1551, in which he styled himself " lievtenant of the castill and
countye of Guysnes." See " The Chronicle of Calai.s," p. 203.
Ibid. Death of the tico young diihes of Snffoll: Henry and Charles Brandon, the only
sons of Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk. Their mother was his second wife, Katharine,
daughter and sole heir of "William lord Willoughby de Ere.sby. (See some excellent
letters of hers in Miss Wood's collection, vol. iii.) The report which reached our diarist is
incorrect in two respects: the noble youths did not die "in one bed " nor "in Cam-
bridgeshire." Their deaths took place at the bishop of Lincoln's palace at Bugden, in the
county of Huntingdon. A narrative, entitled " Epistola de vita et obitu duorum fratrura
Suffolciensium, Henrici et Caroli Brandon," written by sir Thomas Wilson, was shortly
after printed. Two interesting extracts from this rare volume will be found in the
Gentleman's Magazine for Sept. 1S25, vol. xcv. ii. 206. The young men, accompanied
by their mother, had just arrived at Bugden, when the duke was suddenly taken ill of
the fatal sweat, which in five hours deprived him of life. The younger brother Charles
though placed in a distant chamber, immediately learned what had happened, and bein"'
asked by the physician upon what he was meditating, replied, " I am thinkino- how hard
it is to be deprived of one's dearest friend." " Why do you say so ? " said he. He answered
" How can you ask me ? My brother is dead. However, it is of little matter, I shall soon
follow him." And so he did, in half an hour. Sir Thomas Wilson admits the title of
duke to the younger brother immediately on the elder's demise, and so we find from our
Diary *' the ij, dukes " were so called in London. The other extract given in the Gentle-
man's Magazine is a very higii character (in Latin) of the young duke Henry, written by
Dr. Walter Haddon, rcgius professor of civil law in the university of Cambridge : of this
NOTES. 319
Strype (Memorials, Book ii. c. 4,) has given the substance in a translated form. Sir
Thomas Wilson, in bis Arte of Rlietoriquc, has also an interesting passage describing the
characters of these young noblemen ; and some Latin verses on their death, " Carmina
in Mortem," &c. were written by Michael Reniger, and printed in 1552, 4to. The
circumstance that their mother the duchess was the great patroness of the reforming
divines accounts for the extraordinary interest excited by their death. An engraving in
Chamberlain's Holbein Heads is taken from two miniatures, supposed to represent these
brothers : but if the dates given in the inscriptions are compared, they will be found both
to belong to the elder boy.
Ibid. Mortality from the sweating tichiess. Two other reports of this have come down
to us, and, though the figures do not exactly correspond, yet they seem all to have been
derived from official returns, and there is also some difference in the periods of time.
" Letterea from London reporte there died in London of the sweatynge sicknes from the
7. of July till the 20. of the same 938 persons, but howe many have died since to this daye,
beinge the 23., I knowe not. I truste it is nowe cleane gone." (MS. Harl. 353, f. 107.)
Shortly after the disease had terminated, the celebrated Dr. Caius wrote a treatise upon
it, which was printed in the following year, under the title of " A boke or counseill
against the disease commonly called the s\v«ite, or sweatyng sicknesse. Made by John
Caius, doctour in physicke. 1552." Printed by Richard Grafton in black letter, 4o'leaves,
12mo. The Dedication to the earl of Pembroke is dated 1st April, 1552. (Caius also
■wrote a Latin treatise on the same subject, of which a late edition, entitled " Johannis
Caii de Ephemera Britannica liber unus," was printed in London, 8vo. 1721.) From
this curious volume we learn that the disease first appeared with the army of Henry the
Seventh, which amved at Milford, out of France, the 7 Aug. 1485 ; next in 1506 ; again
in 1517 ; a fourth time in 1528 ; and a fifth in 1551, shortly before the composition of
his treatise. On this occasion, " Beginning at Shrewesbury in the middest of April,
proceadinge with greate mortalitie to Ludlowe, Prestene, and other places in Wales, then
to Westchestre, Coveutre, Oxenfoorde, and other tounes in the Southe, and suche as were
in and aboute the way to London, whether it came notablie the seventh of July, and there
continuing sore, with the loss of vijC.lxi. from the ix. day until the xvi. daye, besides
those that died in the vii. and viii. dayes, of whom no registre was kept, from that it
abated until the xxx. day of the same, with the loss of C.xlii. more. Then ceasing there
it wente from thence throughe al the east partes of England into the northe, untill the
ende of Auguste, at which tyme it diminished, and in the ende of Septembre fully ceassed."
The following singular passage relating to this disease occurs in a report of the preaching
of Thomas Ilancocke, minister of Poole in Dorsetshire. " in his doctrine he tau'i-ht
them that God had plagued this Realme most justly for their sins with three notable
plagues. The first plague was a warning to England, which was the Posting Sweat, that
posted from town to town thorow England, and was, nOimeA Slop-Gallant : for it spared
none. For there were some dauncing in the Court at nine a'clock that were dead at
eleven. In the same sweat also at Cambridge dyed two worthy imps, the duke of Suf-

folk his sons, Charles and his brother." (Strype, Memor. iii. chap, vii.) The singular
name here noticed occurs also in the register of Uffculme, Devonshke, where the disease
prevailed in the month following its devastation in London. " Out of 38 burials entered
in that year, 27 were in the first 11 days of August, and 16 of them iu three days. The
disease of which these persons died is called, in the parish-register, the hote sicHne^s or
siup-ffttllant." Magna Britannia, by Lysons, who adds that he had not been able to
find the term elsewhere .
P. 8. Funeral of sir Peter Negro. " Sir Pyter Negro knight dysseased the xiiij"' day
of July in the yere of our Lord 1551, in the v**" yere of the raigne of our soveraigne lord
kyng Edward the 6. His crest is a castell broken, and upon the castell a man with a
shert of male and a sword in his hand." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 14b.) He was one of the
knights made by the duke of Somerset after the taking of Leith, Sept. 28, 1547.
Ibid. The xxinj of July teas the new lishop of W divorced from the Ivtcher
wife vrith sluime enough. Though the name is burnt, this appears to belong to John Ponet,
bishop of Winchester, who had been translated to that see on the 23'^ March preceding.
He had published "A Defence of the Marriage of Priests" in 1549, which is noticed
in Strj-pe, Memorials, Book ii. chap. 18. And it seems that he married again very
shortly after this divorce, the following entry occurring in the register of Croydon : "1551,
Oct. 25. Reverendus pater Johannes episeopus Wynton' duxit Mariam Haymond
generosam in ista ecelesia coram multitudine parochianorum, presente reverendissimo
patre Thoma Cantuar' archiepiscopo cum multls." (Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal.iv. 91.)
Ibid. Funeral of master Harry Williams. Sir John Williams, his father, was master
of the jewel-house ; and by queen :\[ary was created lord Williams of Thame, and made
lord chamberlain of the household. The son had married Anne, daughter of Henry lord
Stafford, but died childless, leaving his father without male heirs.
Ibid. Funeral of master Sandys. Henry Sandys esquire, eldest son of Thomas second
lord Sandys, and father of William third lord Sandys : see Dugdale's Baronage, ii. 303.
There is a portrait of a master Sands in Chamberlain's Holbein Heads which perhap^
represents this person.
P. 9. The French ling installed at Windsor. This was of course by deputy. He had
been elected of the Garter on the St. George's day preceding, and the raarquels of North-
ampton had conveyed the insignia to France. See various documents relating to his
election described by Strype, Memorials, 1721, ii. 512.
Ibid. Death of the lord admiral's wife. This lady was the mother of the duke of
Richmond, the natural son of king Henry the Eighth: to whom she gave birth at
Jericho, a manor near the priory of Blackraore in Essex, in the year 1519. She was
NOTES. 321
married shortly after to sir Gilbert Talboys, who was summoned to Parliament as lord
Talboys in 1529, died 15 April, 1530, and was buried at Kyme in Lincolnshire. She
became secondly the wife of Edward lord Clinton, lord admiral of England, who after
her death was in 1572 created earl of Lincoln. She had issue by her first husband two
sons, Robert and George, who both died without issue, and one daughter, Elizabeth, who
became his heir, and was, first, the wife of Thomas Wymbish (who claimed the barony of
Talhoys jure v.xoiis), and, secondly, of Ambrose Dudley, earl of Warwick. By lord
Clinton she had issue three daughters : viz. Bridget wife of Robert Dymoke of Scrivclsby
CO. Line, esquire, Katharine wife of William lord Burgh of Gainsborough, and Margaret
wife of lord 'Willoughby of Parhara. Her royal offspring the duke of Richmond died on
the 24th July, 1536, at the age of seventeen years.
P. 9. Price of provisions. The imperfect lines in this page refer to this subject, thus
noticed by the king under " Sept. 9. A proclamation set furth touching the prises of
cattel, of hogges, peggcs, befs, oxen, muttons, buttyr and chese, after a reasonable price,
not fully so good-cheap as it was when tlie coyne was at the perfeictest, but within a fift
part of it, or ther abouts."
Ibid. The king weanng the order of St. Micliael. "The fest of Michelmas was kept by
me in the robes of th'ordre." (King Edward's Diary.) The following minutes are from
the register of the privy council :
" 14 June, 1551. This daye the French ambassador had accesse to the lordes, to whom
he declared that the kinge his master and the company of the ordere of Saint Michael had
appointed the kinges majestie to be of the same order, for which purpose the marshall St.
Andiowe was enjoyned to bringe the same order to his majestie, praingc his majestie that
he would acce2)te the same accordinglye." (MS. Harl. 352, f. 160''.)
"June 22, 1551. A Letter of apparance to the deane of Windsore, that for asmucli as
there shall arive here shortely a nobleman sente from the French kinge w"» the order of St.
Jlichalle to bee presented to the kinges Ma""=, and to bringe w"> him such recordes as
remayne in his custodie, as well for the acceptacion of the said order by his majesties behalfe,
or for any other thinge by ceremony concerning the said order ; and that all thinges there
may be put in good order for the celebracione of St. George's feaste, and to bringe w'*" him
also a note of so nmche money of the poore knights as he hathe in his custodie." (Ibi<l. f.
161*".) King Edward was invested by the ambassador at Hampton Court on the 16th of
July, as detailed by himself in his diary, and more fully in Ashmole's History of the
Garter, pp. 368, 369. The document;iry instruments brought to England on this occasion
are still preserved in the Chapter House at Westminster.
P. 10. Creation of nei'' pecrogf:^. The intended creation of the dukes of Xorthumber-
land and Suffolk, the marquess of Winchester, and the earl of Pembroke, was made known
to the Privy Council on the 4''' Oct. 1551, as thus recorded in their minutes : "This daye

majestie to call him from that place ; his majestic, thinkinge the same lord marques'
suite reasonable, and mindinge not to leave such a rowme of importance unfumeshed of
an able personage, hath resolved both to revoke the said marques from that o%ce, and to

shalbe thought needfull, to be presente," &e. (MS. Harl, 35-2, f. IBS'".)
P. 10. 77(6 tltree new hnights. Mr. Sidney and Mr. Neville had been made gentlemen
of the privy chamber on the 18th April 1550, and Mr. Cheke held the same appointment.
(King Edward's Diarj.) Sir Henry Neville was the first settler at Billingbere of his
name and family. He married Frances, only daughter and heir of sir John Grcsham,
and died July 13, 1593.
Ibid. The diile of Somerset, tLr. sent to the Tower. On the particulars of these state
trials it is only necessary to refer to several passages in the King's diary, and to Strype and
our general historians.
P. 11. Visit of the old queen of Scots. The queen dowager of Scotland (Mary of
Guise) embarked at Edinburgh to visit her daughter in France, Sept. 7, 1550. On her
return she landed at Portsmouth on the 2d Nov. 1551. (Lettrcs de ^larie Stuart, edited
by the Prince Alexandre Labanoft', Svo. 1814, vol. i. 5.) The privy council addressed,
"25 Sept. 1551. A Letter to the lord chauncelor requiring him to passe under the
greate seal a saulf-conduct grauntod by the kinges majestie to the dowager of Seotlande,
and to retajTie with him for a record the originall thereof sent him signed by his highnes."
The saulf-conduct itself is printed in Rymer's Collection, xv. 290 : it bears an earlier
date, viz. 17 Sept. Some subsequent minutes of the Privy Council relating to prepara-
tions for this visit are given by Strvpe. There are many particulars of it in king Edward's
Diary, and a narrative of the queen's reception is in MS. Ilarl. 290, art. 2.
NOTES. 323
p. 11. Funeral of sir Michael Lyster. The name of the lord chief justice of the king's
bench was sir Richard Lyster, but that of his eldest sou, here recorded, was sir
Michael. See the memoir on the monument of sir Richard Lyster at St. Michael's church,
Southampton, by Sir F. Madden, in the "Winchester volume of the Archosological
Institute. There is a portrait of a lady Lyster among the Holbein Heads : it may be
doubtful to which lady of the name it belongs (see the pedigree given by Sir F. Madden) ;
but Mr. Lodge, in his accompanying memoir, supposed it to be that of lady Mary, daughter
of the earl of Southampton, wife of sir Richard, grandson of the chief justice. (See her
funeral afterwards, p. 273.)
P. 12. Funeral of lady Locke. The imperfect funeral in this page probably belongs
to the widow of sir William Locke, who has been noticed in p. 313. She was buried by
his side on the 5th Dec. 1551. (Malcolm, ii. 15(3.) " Lady Elyzabeth Locke, latte wyf
of sir William Locke knyght, decesyd on saynt Androwes daye at iij. of the cloke at after-
none in good memory, the v. yere of the rayne of kyng Edward the vj. executors Rycharde
Spreyngham and Thomas NycoUes the elder : and buryed in the churche of our laydy of
Bowe within the quyre, Chcffe morner, !Mary Spryngened (sir) ; [other mourners,]
Elyzabeth Nycolles, Elyzabeth Fyld, Ellen Meredyth, Jone Rawlyns." (MS. I. 3. in Coll.
Arm. f. 846.)
Ibid. Muster in Hyde Park. This is described nearly in the same terms in the
King's diary. Burnet has misprinted the date Dec. 4 instead of 7.
P. 13. ITie Scot of St. Peter's in Cornhill. This preacher has been before mentioned
in p. 6 as "the Skott thecurett" of St. Peter's. Whether he was the same as Richardson,
•whose popularity as a preacher is mentioned in p. 91, has not been ascertained.
P. 14. Th^ dule of Somcrsefs execution. A narrative of this, with the last speech
delivered by the duke, somewhat ditfereut from that in Stowe, has been printed from the
Cottonian charters, by Sir Henry Ellis, in his Second Series of Original Letters, vol. ii.
p. 215.
P. 15. Execution of sir Thomas Aru/idell. One of the "metrical visions " of George
Cavendish, the gentleman usher of Cardinal Wolsey, furnishes some biographical par-
ticulars of sir Thomas Arundell : viz. that he was educated with Cardinal Wolsey, and
was chancellor to queen Katliarine Howard. He is also made to confess tliat " I was
cheaf councellor in the first overthrowe of the duke of Somerset, which few men did
know." (See Singer's edition of Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, lS-5, vul. ii. p. 125.) A
letter of the earl of Northumberland, iu 1527, directed "To his beloved cosyn Thomas
Arundel, one of the gentleman of my lord legates prevy cliandire." and at its fout " To
my bedfellow Animicl,"' with which term he also commences, is printed from the duke
of Northumberland's arcliives, ibid, p, 240. With regard to his fate there is u curious
passage in a very rare book, bishop Pimet's " Short Treatise of Politic Power," which
324 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
Strypu has quoted in his Memorials, vol. ii. 306 : but with an interpolation which, as it
is made silently, is perfectly incxcusal)le. Writing of the earl of Warwick, Ponet states,
" at th'erles sute Arundel hathe his head with the axe divided from the shoulders."
But Strype, imagining that the earl of Arundel (who was also involved in trouble at
this period, having been fined 12,000/. in Jan. 1549-50,) was the suffering party named
by the bishop, altered tliis pass;xge thus : —
"at the earl's suit, Arundel escajjed, other ic-ise had his head with the axe leen divided
from his shoulders."
See the " Life of Henry Earl of Arundel, K.G." edited by J. G. Nichols, 1834, p. 7 ;
or the Gentleman's Magazine for July 1833, p. 16, and for Feb. 184S.
P. 15. Sir Michael Stanhope also makes a poetical lament in Cavendish's Metrical
Visions. He states that he had been dubbed knight by king Edward, and had been of his
prrvy chamber. He was half-brother of the duchess of Somei-set (as sir Thomas Arundell
was half-brother of the countess of Arundel), and was great-grandfather of the first earl
of Chesterfield. See a curious letter regarding his widow's funeral written by their son
sir Thomas Stanhope in 15SS, in the Arckcologia, vol. xxxi. p. 212.
Ibid. Funeral of the countess of Pembrole. King Edward in his Diary records the
death of the countess of Pembroke on the 20th Feb. 1551-2. As sister to queen Katharine
Parr, she was a pei-son of high consideration. A magnificent canopied monument to
William Herbert, carl of Pembroke, and his countess Anne, with their recumbent efiigies,
and kneeling efiigies of their three children, Henry earl of Pembroke, sir Edward Herbert
knt. and Anne lady Talbot, was erected in St. Paul's cathedral, next the monument of
John of Ghent, duke of Lancaster, and is represented in a plate of Dugdale's History of
St. Paul's.
P. 16. Funeral of sir Humphrey Style. The name deficient in our MS. from the fire
is supplied by the valuable MS. Harl. 807, f. 16 : " Sir Humfrey Style dysseased the 7th
of Apryll 1552 in A°. R. E, vj". yj'". and beryed in the parish churche of Bekenham in
the county of Kent." His monument with effigies on brass plate is remaining in that
church: see Lysons's Environs of Loudon, 1811, i. 412, and the epitaph printed in
Thorpe's Registrum Roffense, p. 816.
P. 17. Election of the earl of Westmerland of the garter. In the privy council 10 May
1552. A warrante to the Exchequer to paye unto sir Gilberte Dethicke kni-hte, alias
Garter principall kingc at amies, beinge presently to be scnte by the kinges mnjestie to

" A comissyon for the said sir Gylberte Dethicke to take upe v, poste horses for himselfe
his servantes, and guide." (MS. Hurl. 352, f. 228 b.)
The following entry may here also be added :

Ibid, line 20, for earl read duke.
Ibid. FroclainatioTis. The two remaining blanks may perhaps be filled up, " un[der
act of] parlementt," and " that [same d]ay."
Ibid. Proclamation against pjldhg in churches or churchijarih. An undated procla-
mation to this purpose is transcribed in the Society of Antiquaries' collection, vol. ii.
p. lOi. It prohibits all persons from " henceforth to quarrell, fray or fight, shoote any
hande-gonne, bring any horse or mule, into or through any cathedrall or other church, or
by any other waies or meanes irreverently use the said churches or any of them."
P. 21, Dult of Northumberland tool horse towards Scotland. He had been appointed
lord warden of the Scotish Marches some months before: " 11th Oct. 1551. A letter to
the lord chauncelor to make out for the duke of Northumbcrlaude a pattente of the lord
wardenshippe generall in the north partes foranempste Scotland, with asmuch fee, pre-
heminence, and authoritie as any his predecessores in that ofTyce have had heretofore, with
power also to substitute and make deputy wardenes under him, with such fees as any
in that rowme heretofore have had, and further the allowance of C. lighte horsemen at
s.^. by the daye." (Pri\7 Council Book, MS. Uarl. 352, f. 191.)
Ibid. The king took horse on his progress. King Edward's Diarj', (May 23, 1551)
gives the following enumeration of the bands of men of arms appointed at this time to
accompany him on his progress :
Lord Treasurer . 30
Lord Great ilaster . 25
Lord Privy Seal . 30
Duke of Suffolk . 25
Earl of Warwick . 25
15
Lord Cobham
20

Mr. Sadler .

Mr. Sydney

Earl of Rutland
Earl of Huntingdon
Earl of Pembroke
Lord Admiral
Lord Darcy .
Afterwards, on the 22d of June, it was agreed that the bands appointed to Mr. Sidney,
Mr. Vice-chamberlain, Mr. Hobby, and Mr. Sadler, should not be furnished, but left off.
Again, when the king was in Sussex, on the 24th July, "because the number of bands that
went with me this progress made the train great, it was thought good they should be sent
home, save only 150 which were picked out of all the bands. This vsas because the train
was thought to be near 4000 horse, which were enough to eat up the country, for there
was little meadow or hay all the way as I went."
P. 22. Furural of sir Robert Dormer. Sir Robert Dormer, knighted in 1537, was
grandfather of Robert first lord Dormer. His will is dated June 20, 1552, a few days
before his death. " A'^ D"' 1552 the ix'*" of July sir Robert Dormer knight of Bokyngara-

the xv"* of the same mounth." (MS. Harl. 897. f. 12''.) He is termed in our Diary " a
great sheep-master in Oxfordshire ;" the will of sir Edward Unton, in 15S1, printed in
the " Unton Inventories " (a publication of the Berkshire Ashmolean Society), is a remark-
able illustration of that description of property in the same county.
P. 23. Tliree great fishes. " The viij. daye of August, there were taken about Quyn-
borough three great fyshes called dolphins, or by some called rygges: and the weke
folowyng, at Blackwall, were syxe more taken and brought to London, and there sold ;
the least of them was greater then any horse." Stowe's Summarie, 1566.
P. 24. Master Maynard chosen sheriff. John Maynard. Stowe relates this anecdote
of his provision for serving the office : " whiche, about .ix. or .x. yeares before had geven
out wares and jewelles, as it was thought, to the summe of .'JOOO. markes, to be payde
hym when he were sherife of London." Summarie, 1566.
Ibid. Funeral of sir Anthony Wlnr/field, Jcnight of the garter. Biographical particulars
of this distinguished person will be found in Lodge's Peerage of Ireland, 1TS9, vol. v. p.
262. The place of his burial is not there recorded ; and if his body was left to rest at
Stepney, the fact is now forgotten there, as no monument exists, and the register does
not commence until 1568.
Ibid. The vicar of Shoreditch, a Scot. John Macbray, presented to the vicarage on
the 15th May preceding (Ellis's Shoreditch, p. 21) ; deprived in 1554, and afterwards an
exile. (Strype, Mem. ii. 341.)
Ibid, Death of sir Clement Smith. Sir Clement married Dorothy Seymour, sister
of queen Jane, and of Edward duke of Somerset. King Edward, in his Diary, under
the 24th March 1550-1, records his being "chidden" for having a year before heard
mass.
Ibid. Proclamation on the price of meat. This was apparently a proclamation of the
lord mayor, applicable to the city of London only : but similar regulations were made by
the pri\7 council, for the control of the markets in the country- at large, or in such places
as they chose to extend them to. A proclamation " set furthe by the kinges majestic, in
the V, yere of his reigne," and referring to resolutions of the council made at Windsor on
the 30th Aug. preceding, was printc<l by Grafton in the year 1551, (which would there-
fore be one year earlier than that noticed in the Diary,) and will be found in the collec-
tion in the possession of the Society of Antiquaries. It seems difficult to conceive how
such regulations could be generally enforced : but no limitation of place is mentioned in
the proclamation.
Ibid. Sir Jvhn Jucdm is probably the pci-son whose name is imperfect, of the family

seated at Sawbridgeworth, near Hunsdon, in Hertfordshire (not Essex). See a John,
stated to have died in 1553, in the pedigree in Clutterbuck, iii. 204.
P. 25. Three great fishes. Strj-pe calls these " porpus's." In the third line of the
passage read " m[oriee-pikes.] "
Ibid. WliAxlley the receiver of Yorhhire. Richard Whalley of Screaton, co. Notts,
esquire. The charges preferred against him are stited in the king's diary, under the 7th
of June, and thence in Strype, Jrem. ii. 3S1. Strype, p. (249), states that he had been
politically active in endeavouring to procure the restoration of the duke of Somerset ; he
was, therefore, the same person who has been mentioned in p. 10 as among the protector's
adherents then sent to the Tower. He died Nov. 23, 15S3, aged 84 ; and further par-
ticulars respecting him will be found in Thoroton's Nottinghamshire, p. 130, together
with an engraving of his monument and etfigy.
Ibid. Two sons of the hing of Scots. King James the Fifth had several natural sons,
who are enumerated in Douglas's Peerage of Scotland, by Wood, i. 52. It does not
appear which were the two who visited London in 1552 ; but James, afterwards the
regent Murray, was at Paris in that year. (Ibid. ii. 255.) Another notice of their visit
occurs in the form of "a passport for two of the late Scotch king's bastard sons, to trans-
port out of the realm four dozen of bows, twenty dozen of arrows, and four gross of strings,
and two geldings. Dated Oct. 1552." Strype, Mem. vol. ii. p. 517.
P. 26. ij. great fishes. These are also mentioned by Stowe, and with a very stran"-e
name: "The vii. daye of October were two great fishes taken at Gravesend, which were
called whirlepooles. They wer afterward drawen up above the bridge." Summarie, 1566.
Ibid. Seven Serjeants of the coif. The king's warrant to the lord chancellor to make
out writs to these new Serjeants, was dated in June preceding. Their names were, Robert
Brook, James Dyer, John Carjll, Thomas Gawdy, Richard Catlyn, Ralph Rokeby, William
Stamford, and William Dallison. — In line 6 of this paragraph fill up the blank with the
word [council], that is, privy councillors.
P. 27. Funeral of master Davenet. This name was not Davenant, as might be
imagined from our author's usual cacography. A later member of the family, John Daven-
net, was warden of the Merchant-taylors in 1592-8. Wilson's Merchant-taylors' School,
p. 1151.
Ibid. Funeral of master John Sc^/mour. His will, dated Dec. 7, 1552, and proved
April 26, 1553, is recorded in tlie prerogative court of Canterbury, and briefly quoted in
CoUins's Peerage. He died unmarried, making his whole brother sir Edward SejTnour,
the ancestor of the present duke of Somerset, his heir.
P. 28. The i:ing\i hrd of mis^-ide. This important officer was "a gentleman, wise and

learned, named George Ferrers." (Holinshed, 1st edit. p. 1709.) He was a member
of Lincoln's Inn. (Stowe's Chronicle, p. 60S.) Many curious documents respecting his
revels in this and subsequent years are printed in Kempe's Loseley Manuscripts, 8vo.
1835, pp. 24, et ^t^. George Ferrers was probably the same person who, being member
of Parliament for Plymouth in 1542, was arrested for debt in the city of London, and
committed to the counter : whereupon he was reclaimed by the house of commons, and
the sherifts committed to the Tower : see a long narrative in the histories of London.
The procession of the lord of misrule, or " lord of merry disports " (as he was also called),
into London, which occurs subsequently in this page, is also described in Stowe's Chro-
nicle, p. 608 : " hee was received by sergeant Vawce, lord of misrule to John Mainard
one of the sheriffes of London."
Ibid. Children of hospital. This passage, when perfect, seems to have described the
Christmas treatment of the children of Christ's Hospital, which, together with the two
sister hospitals of St. Thomas and Bridewell, had just been founded by the city with the
assistance of the crown. Its original object was to serve for all the fatherless children of
London, — "to take the childe out of the strete, which was the seede and increase of
beggary, by reason of ydle bringing-up, and to norjshe the same chylde in some good
learning and exercise profitable to the common weale." — It was only on the 21st of the
preceding month (Nov, 1552) that the children had been first taken into the hospital, " to
the numbre of fower hundred." Stowe's Summarie, 1566.
Ibid. Funeral of alderman Rohinson. Not " Robyn," as our diarist has the name.
" Hereunder lyeth Master William Robinson, alderman of London, citizen and mercer,
and merchant of the staple at Callis, and Elizabeth his wife. He deceased the thirtieth of
December, 1552." Epitaph in Allhallows Barking.
P. 29. 3fontk^s mind of sir Thomas Windsor. Son and heir apparent of William
second lord Windsor. He was made a knight of the Batli at the coronation of Edward VI.;
and married Dorotliy, daughter of William lord Dacre, of Gillesland ; but, as he had no
issue male, the peerage went to a younger brother. Collins in his Peerage gives some
extracts from his will, dated Nov. 8, 1552, and proved by his widow Jan. 16 following.
His funei-al probably took place at Bradenham in Buckinghamshire.
P. 30. K^llii'ff of a (jentjllman [of] ser Edward North Icnyrjht in CharterhoKse
cheyr^chyard]. Sir Edward North occupied the Charterhouse at this time, and was made
a baron about a year after this occurrence. Maehyn must have omitted the word " of,"
and the party murdered would be a gentleman attached to the household of sir Edward
North.
Ibid. Fall of the great steeple at Walthara. The tower stood in the centre of the
cross. After the downfall recorded by our diarist, the nave was converted into the parish
church, a wall being run up at its east end : and a new tower was built at the west end,
which bears the date 1553. Morant's Essex, i. -lo.
NOTES. 329
p. 31. Funeral of nr WilUam Sidney. Sir William was father of sir Henry Sydney,
K.G. and grandfather of the illustrious sir Piiilip. The ceremonial of his funeral occurs
in I. 13. in Coll. Arm. f. 272. His epitaph at Penshurst is printed in Thorpe's Registrum
RofFense, p. 918 : it describes him as " knight and banneret, sometjTne chamberlen and
after steward to the most mighte and famous prynce Kynge Edward the YIth, in the
tyme of his being prynce." See also further of him in CoUins's ilemoirs of the Sidneys,
&e. prefixed to the Sidney Papers, fol. 1746, p. 81.
P. 32. Parson Wkt/t here trife of St. Al])he''s. John Veron the Frenchman was insti-
tuted to the rectory of Saint Alphagc, Jan. 3, 15o2. As elsewhere noticed, our author
was prejudiced against him, and perhaps means him here by a nickname, — White-hair.
Ibid. Commencement of the jmrliament. — " Anno 7 Ed. scxti the first day of Marche
the king kept his parliament within his pallace at Westminster. The(y) proceded from
the gallery next into the closet, thorough the closett into the chapell to service, every man
in their robes as at this day. Therle of Oxford l)are the sword, and the marquis of
Northampton as great chamberleyn went jointly with him on the right hand. The lord
Darcy beinge lord chamberleyn bore the king's trayne, and was assisted by sir Andrew
Dudley, chief gentleman of the privy chamber." (From a paper of precedents in MS.
L. 15, in Coll. Arm. p. 130.)
Ibid. Finieral of Henry Welhe esquire. — " In the north-east of the chancell [of St.
Katharine Coleman] an ancient tomb: Here lyeth the body of Heury Webbe esquire,
Gentleman Usher to king Henry the Eighth. And here lyeth also Barbara his wife. She
dyed the 5. day of Februarie, An. Dom. 1552. And he the last day [this date disagrees
with our diai-y] of March 1553." Stowe's Survey, edit. 1633.
Ibid. Funeral of Eichard Cecil esqnire. This was the father of the great lord Burgh-
ley, whom our diarist on this occasion erroneously calls " sir Harry " instead of sir William
Cecil. There is a monument to him, with kneeling effigies of himself, wife, and three
daughters, (recently veiy carefully repaired,) in the church of Saint Martin at Stamford :
an engraving of which is in Peck's History of that town, fol. 1727, p. 69, and in Peck's
Desiderata Curiosa, vol. i. p. 4. In the inscription he is said to have died on litth J/ay,
1552. Lord Burghley in his Diarj' states the date on the liHh March 1553, with which
Machyn's entry agrees.
P. 33. The I'inrf removed from Westminster. Strjpe, Memorials, ii. 397, has incorrectly
placed tliis paragraph in a chapter dated 1552.
P. 35. The proclamntion of queen Jane is printed in Nicolas's Lady Jane Grey, p. xl.
from 3IS. Lansd. 198. An original printed copy exists in the collection of the Society of
Antiquaries.
CAMD. SOC. 2 U
330 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
P. 36. Drovrdng of Ninion Saunders. Stowe has noticed more particularly the two
incidents which happened to the young man and his master. " The 11. of July, Gilbert
Pot, drawer to Ninion Saunders, vintner, dwelling at S. John's head within Ludgate,
who was accused by the said Saunders his maister, was set on the pillory in Cheape with
both his eares nailed and cleane cut off, for words-speaking at the tyme of the proclama-
tion of ladie Jane ; at which execution was a trumpet blowne, and a herault in his coat
of armes read his offence, in presence of William Garrard, one of the sheriffes of London.
About 5. of the clocke the same day, in the afternoone, Ninion Saunders, master to the
sayd Gilbert Pot, and John Owen, a gunmaker, both gunners of the Tower, comming
from the Tower of London by water in a whirrie, and shooting London bridge towards the
Blacke Fryers, were drowned at S. Mary Lock, and the whirrymen saved by their ores."
Ibid, Political placard. The paragraph now imperfect seems to have been that which
furnished the following in Strype : " On the same Ifith day, in the morning, some, to
shew their good will to the lady ^lary, ventured to fasten up upon Queenhithe church
wall, a writing in way of a declaration, importing that the lady Mary was proclaimed
in every country ' Queen of England, France, and Ireland,' (being an officious lye to
do her service,) and likewise treating of divers matters relating to the present state
of affairs.''
Ibid. Funeral of alderman sir Ralph Warren, Son of Thomas Warren, fuller, son
of William Warren of Fering in Essex ; sheriff in 1528, mayor in 1.537, and again in
1544 (in the place of sir William Bowyer). On a fair marble tomb in the chancel of St.
Osythe's, alias St. Benet Sherehog : " Here lyeth buried the right worshipfull sir Ralph
Warren knight, alderman and twice lord mayor of London, mercer, merchant of the staple
at Callis ; with his two wives, dame Christian and dame Joane, which said sir Ralph
departed this life the 11. day of July, An. Dom. 1553." He was buried on the 16th.
By his second wife Joan, daughter and coheir of John Lake, of London, sir Ralph left
issue Richard Warren esquire, who married Elizabeth, dau. of sir Roland Lee knt. alder-
man and lord mayor, and Joan, married to sir Henry Williams alias Cromwell, by whom
she had issue Oliver, Robert, Henry, Richard, and Johanna. " Lady Jone Waren, afore-
said, one of the deters and heyrs of John Lake, dysseassed at the howse of sir Henry
Williams alias Cromwell knight, her son in lawe, called Hynchyngbroke, in the county of
Huntyngton, on Wensday 8. of October, 1572, and the 14. yere of our most gracious
soveraigne lady queue Elizabeth, and was beryed in the parish churche of St. Benedicke
Sherehogge in London, on tewsday the vember, in the yere aforesaid." Her
Becond husband was sir Thomas White, another lord mayor, and who is immortalized by
his foundation of St. John's college, Oxford. Our diarist records their marriage, in p. 179.
A remarkable instance of the simjilifving of arms is afforded by what was done in regard
to sir Ralph Warren's monument at St. Osith's. It originally bore this crowded coat:
Azure, on a chevron between three lozenges argent, three eagle's heads erased of the first,
on a chief cheeky or and gules a greyhound couraiit ermine. " These armes were taken
downe by his sonne Ric. Warren, and these sett upp in place thereof: Or, a chevron

William Smith, Rouge-dragon.
P. 36. theiilj sqyre(s) attendant at the same funeral were the four esquires of the
Lord Mayor's house, namely, the swordbearer, the common hunt, the common crier, and
the water-bailiff.
P. 37. Proclamation of queen Mary. A printed copy of the proclamation making
known the title of queen Marj-, is at the Society of Antiquaries.
Ibid. Arrival of the lady Elizabeth. In this passage read, " and odur [weapons,] "
and add to it, "and cloth, according to their qualities." (Strype.) The "green garded
with white " was then the royal livery.
P. 38. The lord Montague. The person intended by this designation was sir Edward
Montague, who was lord chief justice of the common pleas, as sir Roger Cholmley was of
the king's bench. The new queen appointed sir Richard Morgan and sir Thomas Brom-
ley in their places.
Ibid. Sir John Yorhe had been under-treasurer of the mint. Together with other
officers of the same he had a pardon for all manner of trangressions, &c. July 21, 15o'2.
(Strj-pe.)
Ibid. Rode throvgh London my lady Elizahdh. Stowe relates that the lady Elizabeth
went to meet the queen on the 30th, the day after her arrival in London : he states that
she was accompanied with a thousand horse, as says our diarist, but " Camden 500, and
so I have heard my mother from her grandmother, who was one of them, relate, and that
queen Mary then ki^sed every geutlewoeman [that] came with her sister.*' ^IS. note by
the Rev. John Lynge, vicar of Yalding iu Kent, in a copy of Stowe's Annals ; Retro-
spective Review, 2d Series, i. 3il.
P. 39. Funeral of lady Broirne. Lady Jane Ratcliffc, daughter of Robert earl of
Sussex, the first wife of sir Anthony Browne, afterwards first viscount Montague, died at
Cowdray on the 22d July, 1oj2, aged 20 : having had issue, Anthony father of the second
viscount, and ^larj- afterwards countess of Southampton. There is a kneeling ethgy of
her on her husband's monument at Midlim-st : see the inscriptions in Dallaway'a Rapo
of Cliichester, p. 291 (where for 1552 read 1553).
Ibid. Funeral of Hnij Edirard the Si.dh. The ceremonial of this funeral is preserved
in the College of Arms, I. 11, f. 117 b, and an abstract is given by Strj'pe, Memorials,
vol. ii. p. 431. The painters' charges are preserved in a paper bound in I. 10, in Coll.
Arm. f. 117, of which Sandford has given the heads in his Genealogical History of the
Kings of England, 1077, p. -172. Archbishop Cranmer and bishop Day were permitted

to perform the service and a communion in English (see Burnet, vol. ii. p. 244). "The
Funeralles of king Edward the Sixt," a poem, by William Baldwin, was reprinted by the
Rev. J. \V. Dodd, for the Roxburghe club, in 1S17. Extracts had been given in the
British Bibliographer.
P. 41, Drowning of master TJionias a Brii<jes. Sir John a Bruges, soon after created
lord Chandos of Sudeley, had seven sons, who are enumerated in the Peerage, not
including this Thomas.
Ibid. Itiot at the Paul's Cross sermon. This incident is noticed in the public chroni-
cles. Bourne, the preacher, ofl'ended the audience by speaking vehemently in the defence
of bishop Bonner, and extremely against bishop Ridley. One of the populace threw a
dagger at Bourne, which struck one of the sideposts of the pulpit. Maister Bradford, the
celebrated Reformer, came forward to persuade the people to quietness, and by the help
of that worthy man and of maister Rogers, (both of whom were afterwards sacrificed in
cold blood by their religious adversaries,) Bourne was conveyed safely away into Paul's
School. Grafton's Abridgement, lo6C, and Stowe's Summarie of the same date.
The privy council, which was sitting at the Tower, took immediate alarm at thi^ dif-
turbance. The " order taken " on the same day, in concert with the lord mayor, will be
found in their Register, (transcript in MS. Ilarl. 643, f. 1.) On the 16th Homfrey
Palden was " committed to the counter for seditious wordes uttered by him againste the
preacher Mr. Burne for his sermon at Paule's crosse on Sunday last ;" and the same day
the celebrated Bradford and Veron, " two seditious preachei-s,"" were committed to the
Tower, as was " Theodore Basill, alias Thomas Beacon, another seditious preacher.''
Ibid. pp. 2^, 3.
Ibid. Sir John Gates and sir Thomas I'ubner. These two knights were beheaded
with the duke of Northumberland on the 22d August. Stowe in his Summarie preserves
a soubriquet of the latter : he was called, " buskin Palmer." See a note regarding him
in the Life of Lord Gtrey of Wilton, p. 3. He had received a pardon for all treasons, &.c.
Feb. 1551-2.
Ibid. Dr. Watson's sermon at Paul's cross. " By a letter wTittene in London August Cii
by William Dalby is signified, on sondaye laste was a Sermone at Pole's crosse, made by
one doctor Watsone ; theare was at his sermone the marques of Winchester, the earle of
Bedforde, the earle of Penbrocke, the lord Wentworth, the lord Riche. They did sitte wheare
my lord mayor and the aldermen wear wont to site, my lord maiore [marques ?] sittinge

London, [Bonner the late bishop,] and divers otliurs ; thear was 120 of the garde that
stoode round aboute the crosse, w"' their holberdes, to gard the preacher, and to apprehend
them that would stirre. Ilis sermon was no more eloquent than edifieinge ; I mean it
■was nether eloquent or edefieinge in my opinione, for he medled not withe the gospelle
nor epistle, nor noe parte of scripture. After he had red his theamc, he entred into a
NOTES. 333
by mattere, and so spente his tyme ; 4 or 5 of the cheefe poynts of his sennone that I cane
remember I will as breefly as I can reporte unto you, viz. : he requirede the people not to
beleeve the preacheres, but that ther faithe should be firme and sure, because theare is
suche vaneties amongeste them, and yf any mane doubte of his faithe, let him goe to the
scriptures, and also to the interpreteres of the doctores, and interprit it not after thier
owne brayne : he wished the people to have no newe faithe, nor to buld no newe temple,
but to keepe the ould faythe, and edifye the ould temple againe. He blamed the people
in a manner for that heartofore they would have nothing that was manes tradissyone, and
nowe they be contented to have manes tradissyone, shewiiige that in the firste yeare of the
raigne of our soveraigne lorde king Edward the 6. theare was a lawe established that in
the sacrament thear was the bodie and bloode of Christe not really but speritually ; and
the nexte yeare aftere they established another lawe that thear was the body of Christe
nether speritually or really. Thes 2 in themselves are contraryes, thearfor they cannot be
bothe trewe. He showed that we should ground o' faithe uppon God's word, w'^'' is
scripture, and scripture is the byble, w'^'' wee have in Hebrue, Greeke, and Lattine, and
nowe translated into Englishe ; but he doubtethe the translatyon was not true. Also he
said theare bathe byne in his tymo that he bathe scene xx. catechesmes, and every one
varinge from other in some points, and well he said they might be all false, but they could
not be all true ; and thus perswading the people that they had followed menestradissyones,
and had gone astraye, wishing them to come home agayne and reedefy the ould temple.
Thus, w''' many other p^rswsioues, he spente the tyme tyll xi. of the clocke, and ended."
(MS. Harl. 353, f. Ul.)
P. 42. The parson of St. Ethelhurga, whose sermon had offended, was John Dey, who
■was deprived in 1554.
Ibid. By " sard Xecolas Wilhjus " or Wyllyms, (the MS. is uncertain) must be meant,
it is presumed, the church of Saint Nicholas Olave's, on Bread-street-hill, destroyed at
the great fire of 1666.
P. 43. Burning of the Great Han-y. This famous ship had been built by Henry the
Eighth upon the loss of the Regent in 1512 (some account of which calamity will be
found in the Chronicle of Calais, p. D.) The Great Harry was at Woolwich (where it was
afterwards burnt), in the 1st year of Edward VI. and its equipment was then returned
thus :
" The Henrv Grace a Dieu, 1000 tons. Souldiers 349. Marrjners 301. Gonners
50. Brass pieces 19. Iron pieces 102."
See the Archaeologia, vol. vi. p. 218, and at p. 216 a fuller return of its "furniture "
and ammunition. A view of this ship, made in 1546 by Anthony Anthony, one of the
officers of ordnance, is preserved in the Pepysian library, and engraved in the Archico-
logia, vol. vi. pi. xxii. It is also one of the ships represented in the picture of tho
embarkation of Henry VIII. at Dover, May 31, 1520, now at Hampton Court, and en-
graved in a Lirge size by the Society of Antiquaries in 1781. Another print, purporting
334,

to represent the Great Harry, published by T. Allen in 1756 from a supposed drawing
by Hans Holbein, is pronounced by Mr. Topham, in Archoeol. vi. 208, 209, to be the
figure of a different ship, and supposed to be the Prince, buUt by James I. in 1610.
P. 43. Funeral of sir John Harington. Sheriff of Rutland the year before his death,
and grandfather of John, created lord Harington of Exton in 1603. See Wright's His-
tory of Rutland, p. 148.
Ibid. Funeral of John lord Dudlej. This nobleman sold the castle of Dudley to his
cousin John duke of Northumberland, and was never summoned to Parliament. (Nico-
las's Synopsis of the Peerage.) His pecuniary distresses are noticed by Dugdale, Baronage,
ii. 216 ; and it is added that he " was commonly called the Lord Quondam.'''' [See this
term used to bishop Latimer in p. 57 of this Diary.] His son and successor was restored
to Dudley castle, which was forfeited by the duke's attainder. — See the funeral of the
widowed baroness in p. 61.
P. 45. The knights of the Bath made at the coronation of queen Mary were, Edward
earl of Devonshire, Thomas earl of Surrey, "William lord Herbert of Cardiff, Henry lord
Bergavenny, Henry lord Berkeley, John lord Lumley, James lord Mountjoy, sir Robert
Rochester, controller of the queen's house, sir Henry Jerningham, sir William Powlett,
sir Henry Clinton, sir Hugh Rich, sir Henry Paget, sir Henry Parker, and sir William
Dormer. The ai-ms of these knights are beautifully tricked in the Cottoniao MS. Claudius
C. III.
Ibid. Coronation of queen Mart/. A document respecting the claims at this coronation
has been printed in the Society's volume of Rutland Papers, p. 118 : and, as there men-
tioned, a formulary of the ceremonial is in the library of the Society of Antiquaries.
P. 46. Knights made the morroic after the Coronation. Their names were as follow,
according to a list in the MS. Coll. Arm. I. 7. f. 74.
" The morowe after the day of Coronation, beinge the seconde day of October, at the
palys of Wystmister, were dobyd the knightes of the carpet foloinge in the presence of the

Sir Thomas Baskerfelde,
Sir Thomas Tyndall,
Sir Rychard Wallwine.
The arms of these knights are beautifully tricked in the Cottonian MS. Claud. C. iii,
but they are differently arranged, and some made at other times are interspersed. On this
authority some slight amendment of the orthography of the names has been made where
it appeared necessary.

lyeth buried the body of sir Martin Bowes knight, alderman and lord maior of London,
and also free of the Goldsmiths' company : with Cecilia, dame Anne, and dame Elizabeth,
his wives. The which sir Martin Bowes deceased the 4. day of August, An. Dom. 1566.'"
His will was also kept in the same church " in a faire table," i. e. there was an inscription
recording his having given lands to discharge the ward of Langboume " of all Fifteenes to
bee granted to the king by parliament." Sir Martin Bowes was sub-treasurer of the mint
under Henry VIIL and Edward VI. and resigned that office in Jan. 1550-1 : see three
grants made him on that occasion in Strype, Memorials, vol. ii. pp. (271), 494, The
portrait of sir Martin Bowes, still preserved at Goldsmiths' Hall, is described by Malcolm,
Londinium Redivivum, ii. 411.
P. 48. Parson Chiclen. " Another priest called sir Tho. Snowdel, whom they nick-
named Parson Chicken, was carted through Cheapside, for assoiling an old acquaintance
of his in a ditch in Finsbury field ; and was at that riding saluted with chamber-pots and
rotten eggs." (Strype, Mem. iii. 113.) His real name, however, seems to have been
Sowdley. Thomas Sowdley clerk was instituted to the rectory of St. Nicholas Coleabbey
25 July 1547, and to that of St. Mary jNIounthaw 23 March following. He was deprived
of both in 1554, but restored to the former after the return of the Protestant ministers,
and died in 1564. (Newcourt, i. pp. 450, 507.)
P. 49. Creation of heralds. The office of York herald was vacant by the creation of
Bartholomew Butler, esq. to be Ulster King of Arms (the first of that title) Feb. 2, 1552-3 ;
that of Lancaster herald from the expulsion of Fulke ap Howell, esq. who had been
convicted of counterfeiting Clarenceux's seal, and executed ; Portcullis, Richard Withers,
gent, had been degraded as an accomplice of Howell.* The new heralds and pursuivants
were, 1. Martin Marruf, or JNIarlfe, made York herald ; he died April 20 or 21, 1563.
2. Nicholas Tubman, made Lancaster ; he died Jan. 8, 155S-9. (See p. 185.) 3. Hugh
Cotgrave, made Rouge-Croix, afterwards Richmond herald, 1566. (see more of him in
Noble's History of the College of Arms, p. 1S2.) 4. William Colborne, "my lord Cob-
ham's servant," created Rouge-dragon ; afterwards York Herald, Jan. 25, 1564 ; he died
Sept. 13, 1567, and was buried at St. Dunstan's in the West. (See the Collectanea Topogr,
etGeneal. vol.iv. pp. 99, 111.) 5. John Cockes, created Portcullis, was afterwards Lancaster,
Jan. 18, 155S-9. (See p. 186.) His historj- is given in Noble, p. 183.
The writs of privy seal, dated the 22d and 24th Nov. for the creation of Lancaster and
* See Noble's College of Arms, p. 146, and in p. 155 " Lant says he was degraded."
Yet in p. 147 that very blundering author has made Robert Fayery, the predecessor of
Withers, to be the accomplice of Howell, — in 1551, although he goes on to say that he
died in 3 Edward VL i. e. 1549. Noble imagined that the cause of Withers's disgrace
was his having attended on the duke of Northumberland to Cambridge ; whilst it was
also before his eyes (p. 183) that it was Cocke or Cocks the new Portcullis that had been
the duke of Northumberland's servant.
NOTES. 337
York heralds, are printed in Rymer's Foedera, vol. xv. p. 357 : and that for John Cooke
(or Cockes) to be Portcullis, dated Jan. 3, in p. 359.
P. 50. Funeral of [sir Henry Parker, son and heir 0/] lord Morley. This funeral
probably belongs to the son of lord Morley, who died in his father's lifetime. The funeral
of lord Morley himself, who died in 1556, is noticed in p. 120.
Ibid. The Jcing of Spain''s ambassadors. These were ambassadors from the emperor
Charles, father of Philip, to conclude a treaty for the queen's marriage — namely, the count
d'Egmont, Charles count de Laing, Jehan de Montmorancy sieur de Corners, Philip
Negri, and Simon Renard : see Strype, Mem. iii. 58, and the marriage treaty in Rymer,
vol. XV. p. 393. An extract from their Instructions may be seen in Burgon's Life of
Gresham, i. 145.
P. 51. Funeral of master Shirley esquire. There seems to be no memorial of this
gentleman remaining in connection with the history of Richmond. In August 1551, it
was appointed that Mr. Sturley, captain of Berwick, should leave the Wardenship of the
East Marches to the lord Evers ; but that person is again mentioned as a knight, sir
Nicholas Sturley, in the following October. (King Edward's Diary.)
P. 52. Sir Thomas Wyatt. A copious narrative of Wyatt's rebellion, together with
the letters written by the duke of Norfolk, lord Cohham, and others, to the Privy Council,
on the occasion, (from the originals in the State Paper Office,) will be found in Cruden's
History of Gravesend, 1S42, Svo. pp. 172 et seq.
Ibid. Sir George Howard was son of lord Edmund Howard, and one of the brothers
of queen Katharine Howard, He was knighted by the duke of Somerset in Scotland in
1547 ; and in March 1550-1 had a warrant for office of JIaster of the Henchmen for one
whole year. He was appointed to attend upon the young lords sent over the sea as
hostages, whereof the earl of Hertford was one. Strype, Mem. ii. 539.
P. 54. He lycted behind a genileraan into the court. After his surrender sir Thomas
Wyatt was taken to the court riding behind sir Maurice Berkeley on horseback. Stowe,
p. 621.

in the year 1531, and was buried at Allhallows, Bread-street. Catalogue of Lord Mayors,

useful MS. Harl. 897, f. 8: " Sir William Gorj-ng knight dyed at Westmjnster the 4"'
of Marche 1553, and was conveyd to his howse called Burton, and there burred the xij"" of
Marche." He was one of the gentlemen of the king's privy chamber, and his monument
at Bodecton alias Burton, is described in Dallaway's Rape of Arundel, p. 253 (with an
error of viij_/br iiij). His funeral at length is in Coll. Arm. I. 3, f. 102.
P. 59. Cat hung on the gallons in Cheapside. The same outrage will be found noticed
in Stowe's Chronicle, p. 623, where the consecrated wafer is there termed " a singing-
cake," and in Foxe's Actes and Monuments, vol. iii. p. 99.
P. 60. Funeral ensigns of alderman Kjiion. Stephen Kirton, member of the Mer-
chant-taylors in 1534. He was never sheriff or lord mayor. He bore four coats quarterly,
1. Argent, a fess and chevronel in chief gules ; 2. Argent, a crescent and bordure sable ;
3. Paly, argent and gules, a fess between three leopard's heads, all counterchanged ; 4.
Argent, a fesse between three butterflies gules. (Lord Mayors, &c. by Wm. Smith,
Rouge-Dragon.)
P. 61. Funeral of the lady baroness Dudley, widow of lord Dudley, noticed in
p. 834. She was the lady Cecily Grey, second daughter of Thomas marquess of Dorset,
by Cecily, daughter and heir of William lord Bonville and Harington.
P. 62. Proclamation. This was probably the proclamation transcribed in the Society
of Antiquaries' collection, vol. ii. p. 124. It is undated, but entitled "A proclamation
for suppressing of seditious rumours and libelles."
P. 63. Lord Garrett created earl of Kildare. Gerald Fitzgerald, reckoned as the
eleventh earl in succession of his family. His father Thomas was executed at Tyburn,
together with his five uncles, on the 2d Feb. 1535 ; his grandfather Gerald the ninth earl
having died a prisoner in the Tower of London on the 12th Dec. preceding ; and was
subsequently pronounced attainted by an act of Parliament in Ireland passed in May
1536. The young lord Garrett, or FitzGerald, having been educated abroad, is said to
have been introduced to the court of king Edward the Sixth, and knighted by him in
i552 (Lodge's Peerage of Ireland, by Archdall, vol. i. p. 94) ; but we have seen (p. 334)
that the latter statement is erroneous, and it is more probable that he did not return
before his kinsman and patron cardinal Pole and other eminent members of the old com-
munion. His patent of restoration was dated May 13, 1554, (Lodge,) and in the
following November he returned to Ireland. He was .now thirty years of age, and he
died in London, Nov. 16, 15S5.
P. 64. A man that uoidd have plucled the sacrament out of the priest's hand. Stowe
gives his name, — "a joyner that dwelt in Colman streete called John Stiete ;" and adds
that in Newgate he " fayned him selfe madde : " but the latter stitement is contradicted
by Foxe, who has commemorated Strete more at length.
NOTES. - ,. ggjj
P. 66. Prince of Piedmont. Though our diarist mentions this prince twice in this
page, some mistake may be suspected. The prince really arrived in December, as after-
wards mentioned in p. 79. Probably the person who came in June was his ambassador.
Ibid. The maid that spale in the wall and ivhistled in Aldersgafe-street. This prototype
of the Cock-lane ghost is noticed more fully by Stowe : her name was Elizabeth Croft, " a
wenche about the age of eighteene yeares."
Ibid. Proclamation for attendance of peers, dr. at the queen''s marriage. See this in
the Soc. of Antiquaries' collection, vol. ii. p. 125.
P. 67. Fitneral of alderman John Lamhard. "Father to William Lambard esquire,
well known by sundry learned bookes that he hath published." (Stowe.) He was sheriff
in 1552 ; and was buried in St. MichacPs, Wood-street. Arms, Gules, a chevron vaire
between three lambs argent. (Wm. Smith, Rouge-Dragon.)
Ibid. Funeral of alderman Austen II ynde. Augustine Hynde, clothworker, sheriflF in
1551. Arms, Gules, a chevron between three hinds or. (Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.)
He was buried at St. Peter's in Cheap, and his epitaph will be found in Stowe : it states
his death on the tenth of the month, and ]MS. Harl. 897, f. 25''. names the xij. whereas
our diarist says the viij. His descendants will be found in MS. Harl. 897. His widow
•was remarried to alderman sir John Lyons, who is noticed in the next page.
P. 68. Funeral of alderman sir Henri/ Amcotes. Son of William Amcotes, of Astrop,
Lincolnshire. He had been lord mayor in 154S, was buried in St. Michael's, Crooked-
lane, where he had "a goodly ancient tombe within the south grated chappell : Here-
under lyeth the bodies of sir Henry Amcotes knight, alderman and lord maior of London,
and dame Joane his wife. Which sir Henry Amcotes deceased the 5. day of September
anno 1554. And the said dame Joane deceased the 4. day of September anno Dom.
1573." His arms were quarterly of eight, as blazoned and engraved in The Fishmongers'
Pageant, fol. 1844, p. 14. A pedigree of his family will be found in the MS. Harl. 897,
f. 52. They were afterwards of long continuance in Lincolnshire.
P. 69. Proclamation "for avoyding of vagabondes and idle persons from London,
Westminster, and places adjoyning," — this is transcribed in the Society of Antiquaries'
collection, vol. ii. p. 126.
P. 70. Funeral of the dole of Norfolk. The MS. Harl, 897 says the duke died at
Kenyng hall on ^Monday the 27. of August, and was buried at Fremynghara on Monday
the last of September. His funeral is in Coll. Arm. I. 3, f. 103.
P. 71. Funeral of lord de la Warr. Thomas West, ninth lord de la Warr, succeeded
his father 1525 ; K.G. 1549. He was buried at Broadwater, co. Sussex, where his tomb
remains, and is described in Cartwright's Rape of Bramber, p. 38.
340 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
P. 72. Servant of sir George Gifford hilled. Stowe says Clifford, but Gifford I believe
is right. (See p. 335.)
Ibid. Imprisonment of Day the printer. John Day, whose great boast was that he had
encouraged and supported Foxe in the construction of tliat gigantic work, the Actes and
Monuments. See the memoir of Day by the present writer in the Gentleman's Magaicine
for Nov. 1832, vol. cii. ii. 417, where Day's monumental brass at Ampton, co. Suffolk, is
engraved ; also further particulars communicated by the late Francis Douce, esq. and
D. E. Davy, esq. in the same volume, pp. 597, 598 ; and a catalogue of the works printed
by Day, and his portrait, in Ames's Typographical Antiquities, by Dibdin, vol. iv. pp.
41 — 177. One of the companions of Day's imprisonment was John Kogers, who suffered
martyTdom soon after, (see p. 81,) and we may suppose that it was very much owing to his
own sufferings at this time that he was instigated to " set a Fox to -WTight how Martyrs
runne by death to lyfe." (Epitaph.)
Ibid. Death of the earl of Wanricl: John Dudley earl of Warwick, the eldest son of
the duke of Northumberland, was one of the knights of the Bath at the coronation of
Edward VI. On the 29th April 1552, he was made master of the horse to the king
(Pat. 6 Edw, VI. p. 5) ; but Collins, (Memoirs of the Sidneys, p. 31,) is wrong in saying
he was afterwards chosen a Knight of the Garter. Strype, Mem. ii. 500, erroneously
inserts the christian name of Ambrose to the patent of master of the horse. On receiving
that office the earl of Warwick resigned that of master of the buck-hounds to his brother
lord Robert Dudley. (Ibid. 501.)
P. 73. Sir John Lyons lord mayor. Son of Thomas Lyons of Perivale, co. Jliddlesex ;
a member of the Grocers' company : and sheriff 1550. " He dwelled in Bucklersbury,
and was buried in St. Syth's church, which toueheth on the south syde of his house."
Arms, Azure, on a fess engrailed between three plates each charged with an eagle's head
erased sable, a lion passant between two cinquefoils gules. (List of Lord Mayors, &c. by
Wm. Smith, Rouge-Dragon.) Sir John Lyons bequeathed 100/. towards building a
gamer for corn at Queen Hithe, which was enlarged at the charges of the city in 1565.
(Stowe.) See a notice of his widow hereafter, p. 346.
Ibid. Pullic penance at St. PauVs. Stowe, who varies in his account of the culprits,
thus describes this ceremony : " The 4. of November, beeing Sunday, three preists that,
beeing married, would not leave their wives, and two laymen that had two wives apeece,
■were punished alike, for they went in procession about Paules churche in white sheetes
over them, and either of them a taper of waxe in the one hand and a rod in the other,
and so they sate before the preacher at Paules crosse during the sermon, and then were
displed on the heads with the same rods."
P. 75. Saint ErcomcaUVs day. This passage may be completed (from Strype) thus —
" should go to Paul's in procession in copes."
NOTES. 341
P. 75. Cardinal Pole. " The 24. of November cardinall Poole came cute of Brabant
into England," &c. See Stowe's Chronicle, p. 625.
P. 76. The caTdinaVi oration. Cardinal Pole returned to England with legatine
power to reconcile the kingdom to the church of Rome. He accomplished this mission
as related in the Journals of the Commons, vol. i. p. 38 ; and in Foxe, iii. 110.
Ibid. Tlianisfor the queen's quicJcening. " The 28. of November the lord maior of
London, with the aldermen in scarlet, and the commons in their liveries, assembled in
Paul's church at nine of the clocke in the forenoone, where doctor Chadsey one of the
prebends preached in the quire in tlie presence of the bishop of London and nine other
bishops, and read a letter from the queen's couneel, the tenor wherof was, that the bishop
of London should cause Te Deuiii to bee sung in all the churches of his diocesse, with
continual pravers for the queenes majestie, which was quickened with child. The letter
being read, he began his sermon with this anthetime, Xe timeas Maria, invenisti enim
gratiam ajual lJt<'-m. His sermon being ended, Te Deum was sung; and solemne proces-
sion was made oi Salve festa dies all the circuit of the church." (Stowe.) The letter of
the privy council to the bishop here mentioned is printed in Fo.v, and in the Gentleman's
Magazine for Dec. 1841, p. 596, taken from the broadside issued at the time by John
Cawode tlie queen's printer. In the same article is also reprinted a ballad circulated on
this occasion, accompanied by various other particulars of this disappointment of the
unhappy queen. See also sir F. Madden's introduction to her Privy-Purse book.
P. 77. The cardinaVs coming to St. PauVs, A fuller account of this solemnity will
be found in Stowe, p. 625. Like his predecessor Wolsey, Pole went in procession " with
a cross, two pillars, and two poleaxes of silver borne before him."
P. 78, a sqfferacan. " Old Bird, I suppose (says Strype), formerly bishop of Chester,
now bishop Bonner's suffragan."
P. 79. Coming of the prince of Piedmont — " by water, from — Gravesend " is the word
deficient (as appears in Stowe.) He " landed at the duke of Suftblkes place." The fol-
lowing passage occurs in a letter dated the xij'*" of October: " It was told me this day
the ambassador of Savoy was yesterday to see my lady Elizabethes house at Strand, and
that there was order given for the putting of the same in areadines for the duke his
master." Francis Yaxley to sir W. Cocill, in Ellis's Letters, iii. iii. 314. — Emanuel
Philibert, prince of Piedmont and duke of Savoy, was at this time an exile from his
dominions, which had been taken from his father Charles by FrancLs I. of France.
Having greatly distinguished himself as an ally of king i'hilip at the battle of St. Quintin
in 1557, he concluded a peace with France in 1559, and married Margaret daughter of
Francis I. He died in 15S0.

Ibid. Funeral of the du-chess of Xorthumherland. Jane daughter and sole heir of sir
Edward Guilford, lord warden of the Cinque Ports, and widow of John Dudley, duke of
Northumberland. She gave birth to thirteen children, eight sons and five daughters.
Her monument, decorated with coloured brass plates, still remains in Chelsea church,
and is engraved in Faulkner's History of that parish. Her will, which is remarkable
as having been written entirely with her own hand, though of considerable length,
is printed in Collins's .Memoirs of the Sidneys, &c. prefixed to the Sidney Papers,

P. 82. The image of St. Thomas pulled down. It had been erected only two days
before. One Barnes a mercer, who lived opposite to the chapel, was suspected of beino-
accessary to its destruction. He, therefore, was committed with some of his servants, and
afterwards bound in recognizance to watch it, and make it good if defaced. The 2d of
March it was restored at his charge ; but on the 14th (as Machyn records) again broken.
P. 83. Funeral of the earl of Bedford. John first earl of Bedford, K.G. created lord
Russell 1539, and an earl in 1550. See a portrait with memoirs of him in Wiffen's House
of Russell, vol. i. ; another in Lodge's Illustrious Portraits ; and his portrait is also in
tlie collection by Houbraken, and in Chamberlain's Holbein Heads. The eliapel at Chenies
which has ever since been the cemetery of the Russells, was built by his widow in 1556,
in pursuance of his last will. His effigy at Chenies is described in Lipscomb's Bucking-
hamshire : but in the inscription, " Lord President of the Western Partes " is an error
for Partes.
P. 86. False report of the queen's delivery. See the article before referred to in the
Gentleman's Magazine for Dec. 1841, at p. 5D3. At St. Benedict Gracechurch the
churchwardens paid to a prieste and six clerks for singing of Te Deam and playing upon
the organs for the birth of our Prince (which was thought then to be), 1/. 8s. (Malcolm.)
Ibid. Body of thief burned at Charing cross. The name of the " pulter," or poulterer,
the object of this posthumous vengeance, was Tooly. His case is related at large by Foxe.
He had received pardon of some other crime July 5, 1553, the very day before king
Edward's death. (Strv-pe, Mem. ii. 509.)
P. 88. !rJi£ child sujyposed to speal: " By a lettere dated in London, 11 May, 1555, it

Ibid. Funeral of the counttss of Westmerland. Katharine, daughter of Edward Staf-
ford, duke of Buckingham, K.G. and wife of Ralph earl of A\'estmerland. A letter
from her to the earl of Shrewsbury, 25 Apr. 1544, has been published in Miss Wood's
Letters of Ladies, iii. 1S2. She died at Holywell, the house of her son-in-law the carl
of Rutland, in the parish of Shorcditch, on Tuesday, May 14, 1555. (MS. Harl.

hereafter to p. 215) ; and lady Katharine Constable, who died 1591, a granddaughter of
the first ; which see engraved in Ellis's Shoreditch, p. 56, or Nichols's Leicestershire,

P. 90. Funeral of the qtieen of Spain at Saint Paul's. The full ceremonial of this
b presened in the College of Arms, 1. 14, ff. Ill — 114 ; and see a letter of the lord trea-
surer to the bishop of London respecting preparations for the solemnity in Strype, Memo-
rials, iii. 220. The deceased was Jane, the grandmother of king Philip, and the aunt of
queen Mary, being the elder sister of queen Katharine. She was the eldest daughter of
Ferdinand the Catholic by Isabel queen of Castillo ; and having married Philip of
Austria, they succeeded to the kingdom of Castille on the death of her mother in 1504.
On the death of her father in 1516, her husband having previously died in 1506, she was
from insanity unfit to reign, and her son Charles (afterwards emperor) was acknowledged
sovereign of all Spain.
Ibid. Proclamation for h-inginr; in heretical loohs. A printed copy of this, dated
13 June, is in the collection at the Society of Antiquaries : it is inserted in Foxe's Actes
and Monuments, vol. iii. p. 271. Of its objects see also Strype, Mem. vol. iii. p. 250.
P. 91. Funeral of alderman Thomas Leicen. That the name which our MS. has here
lost should be thus supplied is shown by the following inscription from the church of St.
Nicholas Olave's : " Here lies the bodies of Thomas Lewen, ironmonger and some time
alderman of the city of London, and Agnes his wife ; which Thomas deceased the 29. day
of June, Anno D'ni 1555, and the said Agnes deceased the 26, day of October, Anno
D'ni 1562. This monument of Thomas Lewen and Agnes his wife was newly revived and
beautified at the charge of the right worshipful company of the Ironmongers, of which ho
was free, the 29th May, Anno D'ni 1C23." By his will dated in the year of his death
(which is enrolled at Guildhall), Lewen left to the Ironmongers a messuage in Bread-
street, and four other houses, for the observance of an obit, the support of four almspeople,
and a scholarship at Oxford, and another at Cambridge of 50s. each: see the Report of
the Commissioners of Public Charities, and abstract therefrom in Herbert's City Companies,
p. 615. A portrait of alderman Lewen is still preserved at Ironmongers' hall. His arms
were, Ar. on a chevron engrailed gules, between three crescents of the second, each charged
with a bezant, as many estoiles or, and between them two lozenges of the field, each
charged with a martlet sable, all within a bordure engrailed gu, — a somewhat remarkable
example of a fully, but not unartistically, crowded coat. (MS. Harl. 6S60.) He was
sheriff 1537-S, but not lord mayor. — A few particulars remain to be given in a subsequent
page on occasion of the dtath of Mrs. Lewen, the alderman's widow.
Ibid. Master Eton. George Ejion, master in 1557 (see p. 141.) William Heton was
warden of the Merchant-taylors in 1506-7. Wilson's Merchant-taylors' School, p. 1150.
NOTES. 345
p. 91. Master Rowe. Sir Thomas Rowe was an alderman, sheriff in 1560, and lord
mayor in 1568. By his will dated May 2, 1569, he was a munificent benefactor to the
Merchant-taylors' company ; as may be seen by the particulars given in Herbert's City
Companies, p. 504. He died Sept. 2, 1570, and his monument at Hackney, having
kneeling eftigies of himself and wife, was engraved at the expense of his descendant Mr.
Rowe-Mores in 1752, and inserted in Robinson's History of that parish, 1S42, ii, p. 8.
The very full and curious directions which he left for his funeral are printed in
Lysons's Environs of London, 1811, vol. ii. p. 302. See memoirs of him also in Wilson's
History of Merchant-taylors' school, pp. 5, el seq. ; and a pedigree of his descendants in
Rowe-Mores' History of Tunstall, 4to. 17S0, p. xvii.
Ibid. Master Hylle icarden. This was Richard Hills, the benefactor whom Stowe com-
memorates in his chapter on the " honour of citizens." He gave 500/. towards the
purchase of the manor of the Rose, where Merchant-taylors' school was established ; also
(according to Stowe) fourteen almshouses for pwor women on Tower-hill. The latter
statement however is not confirmed by Herbert's account of the Merchant-taylors' alms-
houses ; but it appears that by will dated June 28, 1586, he gave certain tenements in
St. Botolph's, Aldgate, for the payment of 51. yearly among six poor tailors, ami that the
Company still owns thirteen houses from this bequest. (Hist, of the City Companies, pp,
496, 506.) Strype mentions Richard Hills as having been resident at Strasburg in 1548,
and commissioned by Cranmer to help Martin Bucer to his journey to England. He
became master of the Merchant-taylors' company in 1561. (Wilson's Merchant-taylors'
school, p. 10.)
Ibid. Master God. The Survay of Finsbury manor, dated 1567, mentions "a lodge
and certain gardens and tenter grounds in the tenure of John God, merchant-taylor,
inclosed on the north towards Chiswell-street by a brick wall." (Herbert's Twelve City
Companies, ii. 389.) He was again warden of the company in 1563-4, and master in 1565-6.
Ibid. All V. horn in London, and taylors' soiis all. Herbert remarks, that, though
"there are not at this time half a dozen tailor brothers of this dignified corporation," the
case was quite the reverse formerly, (contrarj' to some affected aristocracy of the McrcKant-
taylors, absurdly advanced by the Rev. Dr. AVilson in his History of Merchant-taylors'
School,) and the company itself continued a working one until the reign of James I.
When it is recollected that the great city historian Stowe was a taylor of London, and his
cotemporary Speed, the general historian, as well as Anthony Munday, Thomas Middleton,
and others, besides a fair proportion of the distinguished civic senators and benefactors of
former days, there can be no reason to despise the brethren of this very necess;iry craft,
at any stage of its history, even if, besides " manufacturing pavilions for our kings, robes
of state for our nobles, and tents, &c. for our soldiers," (Wilson, p. xix.) they also
condescended to become " makers of ordinary garments " (ibid.) by stitching jerkins for
our prentices, doublets for our shopmen, and trunk-hose for our cooks. It is true that
trades were much more subdivided formerly than at present : thus we hear of bowyers

and fletchers ; armourers and linen armourers (the latter were associated -with the tailors) ;
and there were cappers and hosiers, distinct trades, though the material they used, as well
as the tailors, was cloth. But a tailor, or a " taylor," has remained much the same from
generation to generation.
P. 93. Departure of Uag Philip. The king crossed to Calais on the 4th Sept. "and
so foorth to Brusselles in Brabant to visite the emperour hys father." (Stowe's Summarie,
1566.) He went to assume the government of the Low Countries, and was received into
Antwerp with great solemnity about the 18th January. (Ibid.)
P. 94. Funeral of lady Ly oris. Alice wife of sir John Lyons then lord mayor, who
Las been noticed in p. 340. " A remembraunce for thenterement of my ladye Lyons"
is in I. 3, in Coll. Arm. f. 94''. After the death of his first wife Alice, sir John Lyon
married " Elsabeth doter of Lee and widow of Austen Hynde alderman and shreve of
London. This Elsabeth dyed the x"" of July in A" 1569. He dyed the 7th Sept. 1564
sans issue, wherefore he made his heyre Lyon, his brother's son, of Acton, unto
whosse sons he gave all his landes." (MS. Harl. 874, f. 25''.)
. Ibid. Tfie Lollards'' Tower. When I wrote the note in this page, and another in
p. 118, I was not aware that there had been any other " Lollards' Tower " than that
still remaining at Lambeth. I have since noticed in Stowe's Survey that the southern
bell-tower at the west end of St. Paul's cathedral was so called. The tower towards the
north, next the Bishop's palace, was attached to " the use of the same palace ; the other,
towards the south, is called the Lollards' Tower, and hath beene used as the bishop's
prison, for such as were detected for opinions in rehgion, contrary to the faith of the
church." The last prisoner Stowe had known confined there was in 1573. It is pro-
bable therefore that our Londoner meant the Lollards' Tower nearest at hand.
P. 95. Funeral of master Barthelet. Thomas Barthelet, made king's printer by patent
dated 22 Feb. 21 Henry VIII. (1529-30). The place of his interment is not recorded.
What is known respecting him, with a catalogue of his works, will be found in Ames's
Typographical Anticiuities, by Dibdin, vol. iii. pp. 271, et seq.
Ibid, Burial of hercticls in Morefields. This was the usual practice with those who
by a natural death (if such a term can be applied to the result of imprisonment and
privations) escaped the sUke and the faggots. See in Foxe, vol. iii. p. 537, a graphic
cut of such a burial, with archers from the neighbouring butts as spectators.
Ibid. Funeral of doctor Wotton. In St. Alban's Wood-street: " Here lieth Edward
Wotton, doctor of phisick, oh. 5 Octobr. 1555, xt. 63, and Katharine his wife, who died
4 Decembr' 1558." (MS. Laasdowno 874.)
Ibid. The Serjeant.'^' feast. As many as eleven barristers bad been recently called to
NOTES. 347
•be serjeanta: 3ee Dugdale's Chronica Series, p. 89. One of them, George Wood, had
been excused. (Ibid.) Machyn, however, says, only seven were made. One of the new
Serjeants, Anthony Brown, was appointed the king and queen's Serjeant by patent dated
Oct. 16, the day of the feast. (Ibid. p. 91.)
P. 96. The lord mayor''s pageant. The new mayor was " sir William Garrard, haber-
dasher, a grave, sober, wise, and discreet citizen, equal! with the best and inferior to
noDe of our time, deceased 1571, in the parish of St. Christopher, but was buried in this
church of St. Magnus, as in the parish where he was borne. A faire monument is there
raised on him. This monument is lately re-edified and new fenced by sir John Garrard,
his Sonne, and L. Maior 1602." (Stowe's Survay.) " He dwelled at the pissing conduit
in St. Xp'ofer's parish." Arms, Argent, on a fess sable a lion passant of the first. ( Wm.
Smith, Rouge-dragon.)
P. 97. Funeral of lord chancellor Gardiner. The ceremonial of this is preserved in
the Coll. Arm. I, 11. 121 — 124, and a second copy in pp. 127 — 133. — MachvTi's extraor-
dinary word "inowUe " is converted by Strype into "jewels: " and in my marginal note
I have suggested "enamel." Both explanations are wrong: as no doubt our painter
meant that the banners were painted with images of saints in oil and " with fine gold,"
P. 98. Committal of sir Anihon7j Kingston to the Toirer. This was for his "contemp-
tuous behaviour and greate disorder by him lately comytted in the Parlemente house."
He was discharged on the 24th Dec. See the minutes of the privy council, Dec. 10, 11,
18, 24, (MS. Harl. 353, ff. 14G, 147.) He soon after again got into disgrace, and,
being summoned to attend the privy council, died on his road to London. See Bayley's
History of the Tower, pp. 449, 450,
P. 99. Funeral of alderman Henry Heardson. His widow Barbara was remarried to
alderman Richard Champion ; and she erected a monument in St. Dunst;in"s in the East,
with kneeling effigies of herself and both the aldermen her husbands. See it described,
■with the poetical epitaphs, in Stowe's Survay. His arms were Argent, semce of tleiirs-
de-lis gules, a cross engrailed sable. He was never sheriff nor lord mayor. (List by
Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.)
P. 100. Funeral of alderman Christopher Allen. This person also was not eitlier
sheriff or lord mayor, nor does his name even appear in Smith's lists.
Ibid. Penance of Thomas Samson. This could scarcely be Thomas Sampson, late
rector of AUhallows, Bread-street, and afterwards successively dean of Chichester and
Christchurch Oxford : for his enemies would scarcely have been satisfied with a mere
penance. He was probably already fled abroad (see Wood's Atlicna; Oxon.) : Lis address
to his late parishioners written at Stnisburg is printed in Strype, Memorials, iii. Appx.

Grafton : " A conspiracye was made by certayne meane persons in England, whose pur-
pose was to have robbed the queenes exchequer, to thys intent as the talke was, that they
myght be hable to majTitaync warro against the queene. This matter was uttered by one
of the conspiracie, wherefore Udall, Frogmorton, Pecham, and one Staunton, were

P, 102. Benett Smiih hanged for the murder of master Rufford. " An act of parliament
passed in 1555 to take away the benefit of clergy from Benedict Smith of Edlesborough,
yeoman, who had instigated Francis Coniers, of London, gent, and John Spencer, yeoman, by
the promise of 40^. (in part of which 40s. and a gold ring was afterwards paid,) to murder
Giles Rufford, esq. of Boteler's in Edlesborough, giving them two javelings and a dagge
for that purpose. The murder was committed at Alconbury Weston, in the county of
Huntingdon. This act, which is printed in Rastall's Statutes, was procured (the mur-
derers being then not apprehended) by Margery, widow of Giles Rufford." (Lysons's
Buckinghamshire, p. 691.) See also further particulars in Lipscomb's History of Buck-
inghamshire, voL iii. p. 351 ; and the Journals of the House of Commons, vol. i. p. 45.
P. 105. Funeral of sir John Gage, K.G. The imperfect paragraph in this page
probably relates to the funeral of sir John Gage, K.G. who died 13 April, 1556. He was
buried at Firle in Sussex, where a monument with recumbent effigies of himself and his
wife Philippa, daughter of sir Richard Guilford, K.G. still remains. See an engraving of
it in Gage's History of Hengrave, 4to. 1S22, and also a portrait and memoir of Sir John.
Ibid. Conspiracy of Throgr,iorton, Udall, dc. The intention was to rob the exchequer,
as stated in the preceding page. The person called " Wodall" and ♦* WaddalP by Machyn,
is named Richard Udall by Holinshed (but once, p. 1766, 1- 6, misprinted VealeJ. He
was probably Richard, a younger son of sir William Uvedale of Wickham, Hants, by
Dorothy, daughter and co-heir of Thomas Troyne (see the pedigree in Hutchins's Dorset-
shire, 2nd edit. vol. ii. p. *503). A curious paper showing the interchanging of the
names of Uvedale and Woddall will be found in the Collectanea Topogr. et Genealogica,
1838, V. 241.
P. 106. Funeral of alderman sir Richard Dohbs. Son of Robert Dobbs, of Batby in
Yorkshire ; sheriff 1543, lord mayor 1551. Stowe mentions his monument in the church
of St. Margaret Moyses, but gives no epitaph. Anns, Per pale argent and sable, a chevron
engrailed between three unicorn's heads each charged with three gouts all counter-changed.
(Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.) See the death and funeral of his widow in pp. 268, 269.
Ibid. Funeral of sir Richard Morgan, chief justice of the commonpleas. The following
anecdote is recorded with regard to the death of this person, after describing the execution
of lady Jane Grey : " Judge Morgan, that gave the sentence against hir, shortly after fell
mad, and in hys raving cryed continuallye to have the ladie Jane taken away from him,
and so ended his life." Holinshed, first edit. 1577, p. 1733 ; and Foxe, vol. iii. p. 37.
P. 107. Master West esquire slain by my lord Dacre's (Darcy^s) son. Our journalist
here, and at p. 121, has miswritten Dacre for Darcy. The murdered man was Lewis
West, of Wales near Doncaster, esquire, son and heir apparent of sir William West, of
Aughton in the same county, whose death followed before the end of the year, and his
funeral occui's at p. 161. The lord Darcy's son was George Darcy, whose name is not

mentioned in the peerages, but has been traced in some other documents by Mr. Hunter,
who, in his History of South Yorkshire, vol. ii. pp. 173 — 176, has printed a curious con-
temporary ballad relative to thLs event, accompanied by some other particulars connected
•with it. It arose from one of those family feuds which were still prevalent in the six-
teenth century ; and the two sons of lord Darcy, John and George, were implicated in it,
as well as the two sons of sir William West, Lewis and Edmund. The ballad is headed
" The murder of the two brothers, Lewis and Edmund, by the sons of lord Darcy ;"" but
this is an error, for only Lewis was killed and one of his men, as the ballad itself states.
The brothers West were returning from Rotherham fair, held on Whitmonday, to their
cousin's house at Aughton, when they were assaulted by the Darcys, who were much
more numerously attended, " with men three score," and after a desperate fight the
result was as already stated. George Darcy, the younger brother, who appears to have
been the actual murderer, took sanctuary at Westminster, and an account of the penance
he performed is recorded by our chronicler, p. 121, as is his subsequent trial in p. 165.
P, 103. The Grocers^ feast. In Kempe's Loseley Manuscripts, p. 160, is printed a
•warrant from the marquess of Winchester to the keeper of the great park of Nonesuch,
transferring to the wardens of the company of Grocers, for their feast this year, the fee
buck to which he was entitled by virtue of his office of high treasurer of England. There
is some discrepancy, however, in the dates given.
Ibid. Exeojiion of lord Sands'" son. " The 18. of June one Sands, a younger son of
the lord Sands, was hanged at Saint Thomas of Waterings, for a robbery that bee and
other had committed on Witsunday last of 4000. pounds." Stowe's Chronicle. He is
not named in Dugdale's Baronage. . . .
Ibid. Funeral of sir Giles Capel. Son and heir of the rich citizen sir William Capel,
(historically known from the exactions he suffered from the ministers of Henry VII.) who
died in 1515, and was buried in a chantrj- chapel which he had built at the church of
St. Bartholomew the Little (recently removed to widen the approaches to the Royal
Exchange). Sir Giles Capel was knighted in France in 1513, and his biography will be
found in CoUins's Peerage, 1779, vol. iii. p. 349 : being the lineal ancestor of the earls of
Essex. — The funeral of his son and heir sir Henry occurs in p. 164.
P. 109. Merchant-taylors' feast. This is tlie subject of the first imperfect paragraph ;
it was held on Saint Barnabas' day, the 11th of June.
Ibid. Condemnation of lord La Warre — " for high treason," says our diarist ; which
statement has been adopted by Strj'pe, Memorials, u. p. 302, and thence by Bayley, History
of the Tower of London, p. 452. But his crime -was of a more private character, and one
would rather suppose tliis was the date of his ]}ardon than of his sentence. He had
attempted to poison his uncle and predecessor, and -was consequently by Act of Parlia-
ment, in 2 Edw. VI. disabled from succeeding him in title and estate. His uncle was

now lately dead (see p. 339), and shortly after we find that the young lord joined the
army in France, and distinguished himself at St. Quintin's. His claim to the dignity
of a peer was not acknowledged until 1579 ; on that subject see Retrospective Review,
2d Ser. ii. 300. He died in 1595.
P. 109. Execution of PecMam and Daniel. "The 8. of July, Henry Peckham, son
to sir Edmond Peckham, and John Daniel, were hanged and headed on Tower-hill, for
being of counsell with them that should have robbed the queenes treasure of her ex-
chequer, and their bodies buried in Barking church." Stowe's Chronicle. — Daniel's name
remains cut on the wall of his prison, " John Daniel, 1556." See Bayley's History of the
Tower of London, p. 207.
Ibid. Funeral of lady' Seymer. Sir Thomas Sej-mer, mercer, was lord mayor in 1526,
and died 11 Dec. 1532, leaving Mary his widow : see his epitaph in Ellis's Shoreditch, p. 54.
P. 110. Funeral of lady Norinch. Sir Robert Norwich was made chief justice of the
common pleas in 1531, and died 1536. But, as the name does not appear in Morant'a
History of Essex, it is not ascertained where this funeral took place.
P. 111. Death of alderman sir William Laxton. Sir 'William Laxton, grocer, was
son of John Laxton of Oundle in Northamptonshire ; sheriff in 1540, lord mayor 1544.
He founded a school at Oundle ; soe Bridges's Northamptonshire, ii. 410. He had a fair
monument in Aldemiarj- church, with a poetical inscription, which will be found in Stowe.
He married Joan daughter of William Kyrby and widow of Harry Lodington, but had no
issue by her. (MS. Harl. 897, f. 24.)
Ibid. Pirates hung at n'apjHW^ at the low-water marl:. Other instances of this will
be found at pp. 131, 231, 256, 281. Stowe mentions "Wapping as " the usuall place of
execution for hanging of pirats and sea-rovers, at the low-water marke, there to remaine
till three tides had overflowed them :" adding, that in his time the gallows had been
removed to a greater distance from the city, in consequence of the street which had grown
up within the last fifty years, " almost to Radclitt'e, a good mile from the Tower."
Ibid. Death of hishop Day. George Day, D.D. bishop of Chichester, consecrated in
1543. He was buried in his own cathedral. See a memoir of him in Dallaway's City
of Chichester, 4to. 1815, p. 72. He refused to assent to the destruction of altars in 1550
(Archaiologia, xviii. 149), and in 1553 was summoned to preach the sermon at queen
Mary's coronation (ibid. 174).

Ibid. Funeral of sir John Champneijs. Son of Robert Champneys of Chew in Somerset-
shire ; he was a skinner, sheriff of London and Middlesex 1522, lord mayor 1534. Stowe
notes in his Chronicle that he was blind. He bore for arms, Per pale argent and
sable, a Uon rampant gules, within a bordure counter-changed. (List by Wm. Smith,
Rouge-dragon.) He was buried at Bexlcy in Kent, (see his epitaph in Thorpe's Regis-
trum Roffense, p. 924.) His family long continued in that county (see Hasted, vol i p

had lodged at Warblington on the 28 Oct. 1552 (Ibid.)
Ibid. Funeral of sir Henry Huberthorne. Son of Christopher Huberthome of Wadding-

knighted by king Edward VI. a few days after his accession, on the 6th Feb. 1546-7,
immediately after the young sovereign had received the same degree from his uncle the
Protector the eari of Hertford. There was a " fair marble stone under the communion
table " at St. Peter's, Cornhill, recording his name and that of his wife Elizabeth, who
died in 1551 (see p. 9.) « He dwelled in the very next house to Leadenhall, where sir

Henry VIII. dated 22 Jan. 1545-6 are printed in Rymer's Fcedera, xv. 85.
Ibid. Funeral of alderman sir John Gresha.m. Uncle to the celebrated sir Thomas.
Biographical notices of him will be found in Burgon's Life of sir Thomas Gresham,
vol. i. pp. 11, et seq. He was sheriff in 1537-8, and lord mayor in 1547-8. He
was buried at St. Michael Bassishaw : and his epitaph is given by Stowe. Sir Rowland
Hill and sir Andrew Judd were made overseers of his will. (Ibid. p. 19.) " He dwelled
where sir Leonard Holiday now dwelleth." (Wni. Smith, Rouge-dragon.)
The death of so many old persons at this period is attributed by Stowe to " the hot
burning fevers." Seven aldermen died within ten months, — Hardson, Dobbs, La.xton,
Hobblethorne, Champneys, Aylof^e, and Gresham: they have all been noticed in these
pages.
P. 117. Master Ojley s>rom lord mmjor. Sir Thomas Offley, son of William Offley,
of Chester, had been sheriff in 1553. He was knighted during his mayoralty on the 7th
Feb. ; see p. 125. " He dwelled in Lyme strete, towards the north end of it, not farr
from St. Andrew's Undershaft, where he is buried." Arms, Argent, on a cross flory-de-
lis azure, between four choughs proper, a lion passant guardant or. (List by Wm. Smith,
Rouge-dragon.) " The useful custom of the night-bellmen (preventing many tiers and
more felonies) began in his mayoralty. He was the Zacheus of London, not for his low
stature, but his high charity, bequeathing the half of his estate (computed, by a reverend
divine, to amount to five thousand pounds) unto the poor. He died 1580, and was
buried in St. Andrew Undershaft." Fuller's Worthies ; and, after noticing two other
citizens of the name, Hugh and Robert, he adds, " I believe it was the first of these
three Offleys on whom the rhythme was made,
Offley three dishes had of daily rost,
An egge, an apple, and (the third) a toast.

This I behold neither sin nor shame in him, feeding himself on plain and -n-holesome
repast, that he might feed others by his bounty, and thereby deserving rather praise than
a jear from posterity."
P. 118. Funeral of alderman Goodyer. Henry Goodyer (whose name does not occur
in Smith's list of aldermen, and who was never sherift",) became one of the trustees of
the parish of St. Clave for Ilorseydown, in the 36th Hen. VIII. (See the account of St.
Olave's grammar school in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1836, N. S. vol. v. p. 139.)
On the 19 Jan. 1586 Hugh Gooder released and confirmed the said land to the governors.
(Communication of G. R. Corner, esq. F.S.A.)
Ibid. Funeral of lady Williams of Thame. "The lady Elsabeth, late wyfftothe
right honorable sir John Williams knight, lord Williams baron of Thame, and lord cham-
berlen to king Phelype, doter of Bledloo, and afore wyff to Andru Edmondes of Esses,
dyed on sonday the 25. of October 1556, and was beryed at Rycot in Bokynghamshire
[Oxfordshire] the 4. of November next foloing." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 83.) The
ceremony is recorded in Coll. Ami. I. 3, f. 101, and I. 9, f. 150*'. Christopher
Edmundes esquire, her son by her first husband, bore the banner of her arms. See her
husband's funeral in p. 217.
Ibid. Man set in the pillory. Stowe (1580) has a considerably longer account of this.
The man was burnt on both cheeks, with the letters F and A for False Accusing one of
the court of Common Pleas of treason. The like punishment the chronicler had once
wished for one who had falsely accused his maister and eldest brother— apparently mean-
ing himself.
P. 120. Funeral of lord Morley. " Sir Henry Parker lord Morley dyed on Wensday
the 25. of November 1556, at his howsse of Hannyngbery Morley, and was beryed on
Thursday the 3. of December next foloing." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 79''.) In the church of
Great Hallingburv- : see Muilman's History of Essex, vol. iv. p. 143.
Ibid. Funeral of Rohert Doirne master of the Ironmongers. Of hb benefactions to that
company see Malcolm, ii. 40 ; and his will ia enrolled at Guildhall.
Ibid. Gregory a Spaniard. Stowe calls this man " Gregory Carpenter, smith, and a
Frenchman borne." His original crime was making counterfeit keys, wherewith to have
opened the locks of Newgate.
P. 122. Mistress Boves, daughter of my lord Scrope. Martin Bowes esquire, of
Barking in Essex, second son of sir Martin Bowes, married to his fii-st wife Frances,
daughter of Richard Scrope, and heir of Elizabeth Amidas his wife, who was the daughter
of Robert Amidas goldsmith of London by Margaret heiress of James Bryce ; see their
issue in Vincent's Middlesex, Coll. Arm. 119 f. 484, Vincent's Essex 124, f. 105 ; or
NOTKS. 355
MS. Harl. 897, f. 21. Our diarist was mistaken in supposing that this lady was " tho
do[ughter] of my lord Skrope," an error the more remarkable because Mary daughter of
Henry lord Scrope married sir William Bowes (see Surtees's Durham, iv. 110.)
P. 125. Lord St<nirton''s murder of the Hartgills. Some account of this tragedy will
be found in Holinshed, Stowe, Strype, and the other liistorians of the period : but Sir
R, C. Hoare, in his History of Modern Wiltshire (Hundred of Mere, pp. 152 — 157) has
collected at considerable length the particulars preserved of it — the first page and a half
derived from various passages of our own diarist, but the narrative of tlie crime itself
from an authentic MS. of the time. Some years before, lord Stourton's arbitrary violence
had attracted the censure of the pri>7 council : see its minutes under July 17, 21, 23,
1551. (MS. Harl. 353.)
Ibid. Funeral of sir William Portman. He had been made chief justice in 1554.
His funeral insignia (made by our diarist) were remaining when St. Dunstan's was visited
by Nich. Charles ; see Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal. 1837, vol. iv. p. 99 : see also his
epitaph in Stowe, and the pedigree of Portman in Hutchins's Dorsetshire, vol. i. p. 154.
P. 127. Funeral of the earl of Sussex. " Sir Henry Ratclyff erl of Sussex and
vyseount FitzWater, lord Egremont and Burncll, knight of the garter, lieutenaunte of the
counties of Norffolk and Sussex, and late countrolor to the king and queues majesties

[17] of February in the 3. and 4. yere of king Phelyp and queene Mary, 155(3, and was
beryed at St. ]\Iary Poultney in London on Saterday the 27. of the same mounth." (^LS.
Harl. 897, f. 79.) The heralds' account of tho ceremony is recorded in Coll. Arm. I. 15,
f. 225, and printed in the appendix to Wilson's History of the parish of St. Laurence
Pountney, 4to. 1831. That author states, (p. 10,) "la the north aisle of this church,
originally parochial, then collegiate as well as parocliial, and after the surrender again
parochial only, were interred several members of tlio Radclifte family, particularly Robert
Radcliffe, earl of Sussex, who died 27th \ov. 1542, and Henrj- Radcliffe his son, who
died 17th Feb. 155G-7. But at length the remains of these two earls were removed to
Boreham in Essex." At Boreham was erected a sumptuous monument (now in ruins)
with effigies of the three earls ; see Walpolc's Anecdotes of Painting, &c. (1762, i, 160),
and the epitaphs in Antiq. Repertory, or Wilson, ubi svpra.
Ibid. A Duke of Musfovea, In preparation for his arrival, the Privy Council sent "A
lettere to th' officers of the warderobe in the Tower, to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
Mr. Hussey, Governor of the Marchauntes-adventurers, or to three of that Company which
he shall send for that purpose, a bed of estate with furniture and hangings for the chamber
of the duke of Muscovia, to be by the said niarchauntes redelivered when the said
embassador shall be departed." Also another letter "to the officers of the Jewell-howse
to deliver ij. pair of grete silver pottes to the said Governor to be used vt sujyra.''

presents he brought, will be found in Stowe's Chronicle, 1631, pp. 629, 630.
P. 127. last line. For Sturton read Salisbury, as in the next page.
P. 128. Funeral of sir Edward MontoQii. The progenitor of the dukes of Montagu
and Manchester, and earls of Halifax. He was buried at Weekley in Northamptonshire,
where is his effigy, and the epitaph will be found in Bridges 's History of that county,
vol. ii. p. 347; also in Collins's Peerage, 1779, vol. ii. p. S3, together with his will and
biographical notices ; but his monument is there incorrectly placed at Remington.
Ibid. Funeral of sir Oliver Leader. " Item, upon the seconde day of Februarj- in An^
1554 sir Oliver Leader was made knight by kinge Phillip." (MS. Harl. 6064.) See in
Thomas Mountain's narrative of his troubles, Strype's Memorials, vol. iii. p. 187, a pic-
turesque account of his being received into the custody of sir Oliver Leader, then Sheriff
of Huntingdonshire, " a man of much worship, and one that keepeth a good house," and
of his courteous entertainment during his halt. Sir Oliver appears to have facilitated
Mountain's escape at the sessions, by purposely forgetting to bring the WTit with him. His
funeral is recorded in Coll. Arm. I. 15, f. 272''.
P. 132. ^(V Thomas Chaiaher. Some more of the pranks of this merry parson are
related in p. 205 : and see the note on that passage hereafter.
P. 133. Funeral of lord CUandos. " Sir John Bruges knight loord Chandos dyed
at the castell of Sudley in Glostei-shire on monday the xij"'. of Apryll 1556, and was
buryd the 3. of May in A" predicto in the churche of Sudley." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 79''.)
In Collins 's Peerage his death is erroneously dated on the 4th of March.
Ibid. Creations of Thomas Peroj to the haronj of Percy and earldom of Norihumler-
land. Our chronicler has given correctly the dates of these restorations. The patents
are printed in Rymer's collection, xv. 461, 462. In the following August the Earl was
made Wardenof the Middle and East Marches towards Scotland. Ibid. pp. 468, 472, 475.
P. 135. Scarborough castle. Strype in his Memorials, vol. iii. Appen. Ixxiii. has
printed "the Names of the Prisoners taken in Scarborowe Castell the 2Sth of Apryll, An.
1557." Five were committed to the Tower of London, and twenty-seven remained in
York Castle.
Pp. 135, 136. Dtafk and Funeral of sir Jaquts Granado. He was a native of Bra-
bant: having distinguished himself in the campaign in Scotland in 1547 (Holinshed, 1st
edit. p. 162o), he was one of the knights made at its close by the duke of Somei-set at

to sir Jaques Granado and Magdalen his wife, and to the longer liver : see the patent
printed in Rymer, xv. 210. He appears to have filled the office of equerry or some similar
post, as in Oct. 1551, he had a passport to conduct sixteen horses sent by Edward VI. to
the French king. His widow " Mawdelyn " became the second wife of sir Robert Chester,
and his daughter Katharine waa married to Edward Chester, sir Robert's son and heir.

this Proclamation may be found in Starkey's collections, IMS. Harl. 353, f. 184. See also
Holinshed, 1st edit. p. 1767 ; Stowe's Chronicle, 1631, p. 631.
Ibid. Began a stage-play at the Gray freers of the Passyon of Cryst. The word
" began " seems to imply that the play lasted more than one day in its representation, or
else that it was repeated. JMr. Collier has noticed its performance in liis Annals of the
Stage, vol. i. p. 167, and states it was fii-st performed at the same place on Corpus Christi
day 1556 (the previous year) before the lord mayor, the privy council, and many great
estates of the realm ; but he quotes no other authority but the present diary.
P. 140. Bu'i-ning of Store-house at PorUmouth. The date was left incomplete in the
MS. thus — " The x day of June." Strj-pe has accordingly (Mem. iii. 377} attributed
this event to the 10th of June. The real date i.s given by a contemporary account of the
catastrophe under the hands of the mayor and burgesses of the town, which is printed
in the Collectanea Topogr. et Genealogica, (1835,) ii. 251. In our diary, p. 140, the
words supplied to the last deficiency, instead of " both were " should probably be " the
beer-cellar."
P. 141. Master Malory chosen sheriff. Richard Mallory, mercer, son of Anthony
Mallory, of Papworth, Cambridgeshire; sherift" 1557, lord mayor 1564-5. '» He was a
mercer, dwelled in Cheapsyde at Super lane end, at the signe of the Golden Kay, and was
buried in the Mercers' chapell." Arms, Or, a lion rampant and bordure gules. (List by
\Vm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.)
Ibid. Chnsteiiing of the diile of Xorfollc's son. Philip earl of Surrey, as he was called
in his infancy, and afterwards the distinguished earl of Arundel of that name, was
" borne at Arundell place in London 28. of July [June] 1557." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 79.)
Stowe also has recorded his christening " in the queenes chapell at Westminster, in a
font of gold." The king and lord chancellor stood godfatiiors "in proper person."

Wages and entertainments, at the goinge to St. Quintens in the tyme of Queene Marye,
primo July an°. 1557." (It is imperfect.) The word " Regiment " in this case appears
equivalent to Army. A list of the capUins will also be found in Holinshed, p. 1767.
P. 144. Funeral of ladij Reche. It is difficult to ascertain whose widow this could be-
There was a sir William Roche, lord mayor in 1541, but we have the funeral of his widow
afterwards in p. 190. No other name resembling Reche occurs in the list of mayors.
Ibid. Funeral of master Latham. Ralph Latham, esq. of Upminster, Essex, died July
19, 1556. (See Morant, i. 108.)
Ibid. Funeral of mistress Draper, of Camlervell. See genealogical notices of this
family in the Collectanea Topogr. et Genealogica, vol. iii. p. 150.
Ibid. Arrest of Waxham from the sanctuary at Westminster. Abbat Feckenham
■was censured by the people for consenting to the surrender of this sanctuary man, and in
his sermon at the funeral of the lady Anne of Cleves, he publicly defended his conduct, as
may be seen in the Excerpta Historica, p. 312. The name of the culprit, which our
diarist writes in three ways (sec pp. 150, 151), is there spelt " Vawgh^m."
P. 145. Inclosing of the nuns of Si/on. This royal foundation was one of the few that
queen Mary was able to reinstate. Of this transaction see Aungier's History of Syon
Monastery, 8vo. 1840, p. 96.
Ibid. Funeral of the lady Anne of Cleves. A very particular narrative of this
solemnity, from MSS. in the College of Arms, will be found in the Excerpta Historica,
1831, together with the Will of the deceased. The body of the queen was buried, as
Stowe says, "at the head of king Sebert," where " she lyeth in a tomb not yet finished."
Engravings of what was erected of this tomb will be found in the Vetusta Monumenta,
vol. ii, pi. 35, as well as in Dart and the other histories of Westminster Abbey. In
p. 145, for sir Robert Frcston read Richard ; and in p. 146, for William duke of Cleves
read John.
Ibid. Hearse for the ling of [Portiigal]. Machyn here made the error of naming the
the king of Denmark, instead of the king of Portugal, John III. who succeeded his father
Emanuel in 1521, and died 1557. He had married Jane aunt of king Philip, and hence
arose the special observance of his obsequies in this country. They are briefly noticed by
Holinshed, p. 1768 ; but are recorded at full in the College of Arms, I. 15, f. 246. At
the beginning of this paragraph /jr xviiij read xviij.

P. 149. Death of the duchess of NorfolJc, She had not recovered from the birth of her
first and only child. " This Mary duches of Norffolk, late wyff to the right highe and

is in the College of Arms, I. 14, 95—99, and I. 15, 256—261.
P. 150. Funeral of sir Uarry ITussei/. " Sir Henry Hussy knight dyed at his howsse
of SljTifold, CO. Sussex, on saterday the xxviij of August, and was buryed in the parish
church there on thursday next after, 1557. His wyef dyed in October next foloing, and

married first to William Erneley of Kacham in Sussex, by whom she had Richard, John,
and Katharine ; and secondly to sir Henry Hussey, by whom she had no issue." (MS.
Harl. 897, f. 27''.) His month's mind is recorded in Coll. Arm. I. 15, f. 263.
Ibid. Death of lord Harry Dudley. Fourth son of John duke of Northumberland.
He was condemned at the time of the ruin of his family, (see p. 48,) but pardoned by the
queen. He married Margaret only daughter of lord chancellor Audley ; and, leaving no
issue his widow became the second wife of Thomas fourth duke of Norfolk, and from this
match descend the earls of Suffolk and Carlisle. The duke's former lady had expired just
before the death of lord Henrj" Dudley, and their surviving partners intermarried before
the end of the year. The duchess Margaret died at Norwich Jan. 9, 1563-4. (See lord
Braybrooke's History of Audley End, 1836, 4to. pp. 27, 296.)
P. 151. Death of sir John Chele. He was buried in London in St. Alban's, Wood-
street ; and his epitaph in Latin verso will be found in Stowe. His biography is well
known from the Life by Strype ; his " Gospel according to St. Matthew and Part of St.
Mark, translated from the Original Greek, with Notes," was first published in 1843,

P. 153. Funeral of John Sachville esquire. Of ChiJdingleigh, Sussex, M. P. for Green-
wich ; he married Margaret Boleyne, a great-aunt of queen Elizabeth, and was grandfather
of the first earl of Dorset. He was buried at Withyham in tlie same county. See his will
printed by Collins, Peerage 1779, vol. ii. p. 155.
P. 154. Funeral of mistress Milchnay. Agnes, daughter of Read and wife of Thomas
Mildmay esquire, auditor of the court of augmentations, who shared so largely in the
spoil of the monasteries that he greatly enriched his family, and (contrary to the view
taken by Spelman " on Sacrilege," &c.) his descendants flourished so much, that in the
reign of James I. there were nine fimiilies of Mildmay possessed of large estates in Essex.
(See Morant, ii. 4). Sir Walter ^lildmay of Apthorpe in Northamptonshire, chancellor
of the exchequer to queen Elizabeth, founder of Emanuel college Cambridge, and ancestor
of the earls of Westmoreland, was the auditor's fourth and youngest son. His eldest son,
having married the heiress of the Katclitl'cs earls of Sussex, brought the dignity of baron
Fitz Walter to his descendants, of whom the last in the male line was created earl Fitz-
Walter in 1730, and died s, p. in 1756.
P. 155. Funeral of the coitniess of A'liindel. A full account of this funeral is preserved
in the College of Arms, I. 15, ff. 26G ct seq. The lady was previously countess of Sussex,
and a letter wTitten under that signature in 1537 has been published in Miss Wood's
Letters of Royal and Illustrious Ladies, vol. ii. p. 306. " This Mary, doter of sir John
Arundell of the West [and widow of Robert earl of Sussex, who died in 1542,] departed
•this lyff on Wcnsday the 20. of October 1557, in the 4. and 5. yeres of king Plielyp and

vi-ithowt temple barre in London, and was beryed the xxviij. of October next folowinge."
(MS. Harl. S97, f. 79.) The same authority supplies the following record of the earl
of Arundel's former wife: "The lady Kateren Maltravers, doter of the lord marquis
Dorset, departed owt of this world the fyrst day of May in the xxiiij'''. yere of H. 8, (1532,)

Devonshire, Charles father of the first duke of Newcastle, and three daughters,
Frances wife of sir Henry Picrrepoint and ancestor of the dukes of Kingston, Eliza-
beth countess of Lennox and mother of the lady Arabella Stuart, and Mary countess

He was the elder son of sir Thomas Arundell, who died in 1545, by lady Alianor Grey,
daughter of Thomas marquess of Dorset ; and brother to sir Thomas, who was beheaded in
1551-2 (see pp. 15, 323.) Sir John was also for some time confined in the Tower ; as

Smith, Rouge-dragon.) " He married Jone daughter of Harry Lodyngton, and she was
remarried to sir Thomas Chamberien knight, and she died 28. April 1565." (MS. Harl.
897, f. 24.)

the cathedral church of Saint Paul's Aug. 9, 1555. (Newcourt's Repertorium Londi-
nense, vol. i, p. 118.) It appears, then, that those called the " grey amices " of St. Paul's
were the prebendaries.
Ibid. Funeral of doctor Pery^n. William Peryn prior of the Black Friars, whose name
has before occurred as a preacher in pp. 100, 119, 131. A memoir of this person will be
found in Wood's Athene Oxonienses (by Bliss), vol. i. p. 248. Our diary corrects that
biographer's supposition that he survived queen Mary, and retired abroad.
P. 172, Funeral of doctor William Cooke, dean of the Arches. He died August 25,
1558, and his widow erected " a comely small monument" to him in St, Gregory's by St.

Ibid. The brethren of Jhesus, who attended the same funeral "in satin hoods and
3It^ upon them," were the members of a guihl which maintained a chapel in the crypt of
St. Paul's, which is mentioned in p. 179 ;ia "Jhesus chapell," and again in p. 221 as
" Jhesus chapell under Powlles." It was afterwards called St. Faith's, and there is still
a parish which retains vaults for interment in the same situation. The dean of St. Paul's
was rector of the guild ; and in Knight's Life of Colet, p. 84, will be found some account
of its cartulary, beginning thus, " This booke bought and ordeigned by maister John
Colett doctour of divinitie, dean of the cathedral churche of Paules, and rectour of the
fratemitie and guild of Jhesus in the croudes of the said churche, William Cromwell and
John Monk wardens of the same, recordeth," &lc. The bells in the clochicr or bell-tower
which stood in St. Paul's churchyard were called Jhesus bells, and Stowe relates that sir
Miles Partridge won them of Henry VIII. on a cast of dice against lOQl.
Ibid. Funeral of lord Windsor. " William lord Wyndsor maryed to his first wyff
doter and hejT of Saraborne, and after the doter of Cowdrey of Hampshire : he dyed at his

Thomas Repington esquyer, Doraty, Kateren, Margaret." (IMS. Harl. 897, f. IS.) His
funeral insignia were remaining in Hadley church when visited by Nich. Charles, and
will be found drawn in the Lansd. MS. S74, f. 60, with other memorials of his family.
His personal biography will be found in Wood's Athense Oxonienses, (by Bliss,) vol. i.
p. 262. He was the editor of the first edition of Ranulph de Glanville's treatise " De

his wife ; see the epitaph in Bridges's Northamptonshire, vol. i. p. 582 ; and in Nichols's
Leicestershire, vol. iv. pi. liii. fig. 1. is an engraving of the monument (Mr. Nichols
having devoted two plates to the whole series of the Cave monuments, out of respect to
the Rev. Sir Charles Cave, Bart, to whom he was indebted for an important portion of the
materials of his work).
Ibid. Fvneral of sir Andre^r Jtidd. A name still well known as the founder of
Tunbridge school. He also founded the Skinners' almshouses near Saint Helen's,
Bishopsgate: see Herbert's City Companies, ii. 350. He had been sheriff in 1544, and
lord mayor in 1551. His monument still remains in St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, and has
kneeling effigies of himself, the first of his three wives, four sons, and one daughter : it is
engraved in Wilkinson's Londina Illustrata, 1S25, where also is a full memoir of him.

Margaret his lady in alabaster." Lysons's Berkshire, p. 310.
Ibid. Funeral of lady Sovtliu-ell. I have not ascertained who this was ; but it may be
as well to remark that Strype assumed she was the " wife to a privy councillor of that
name ;" and sir Henry Ellis, in his History of Shoreditch, p. 357, has quoted Strype appa-
rently without having met with the lady's name in any other authority.
P. 175. Funeral of lady PccsaU. Eleanor fourth daughter of William first marquess
of Winchester, K.G., and the first wife of sir Richard Pecsall : see pedigree in MS. Harl.

effigies of sir Richard and both his wives, and of his four daughters by the first. See it
engraved in Dart's History of that church, vol. i. p. 17,
Ibid, Saint Martin''s irith the well and t>co holxttes. This was the name bv which
the church of St. Martin Outwich was commonly known in the time of our diarist ; and
he mentions it again in pp. 211,215, 302. Stowe says, after noticing Three Scedle street
(now Threadneedle street), " On the south side of which street, beginning at the east, by
the Well with two buckets, now turned to a pumpe, is the parish church of S. Martin,
called Oteswich, of Martin de Oteswich, Nicholas de Oteswich, William Oteswich, and
John Oteswich, founders thereof," &c. The antiquities of this church have been excel-
lently illustrated by engravings in a 4to volume of plates, published by Mr. Robert Wilkin-
son in 1797.
P. 176. Funeral of B.alph Preston. His name occurs as a member of the Skinners'
company in a list made in 1537, and so do the same names as those of his mourners,
namely, Thomas Percy, and three Banks', Rogicr, Raynboue, and John.
Ibid. Funeral of G<:orgc lord Cohham. Tho full ceremonial of this is preserved in the
College of Arms, I. 15, f. 3S7. The monument of lord Cobhani, with the effigies of him-

He died October 13, 1558, and his name is entered in the parish register of St. Marga-
ret's Westminster, as " Mr. ^Mjchaell Wentworth." His son Thomas was seated at Mend-
ham priorj", Suffolk ; but his gi-andson Michael bought W^olley in Yorkshire, where the
family has since continued (the representation passing in the last generation to a younger
son of sir George Armytage, hart, who assumed the name). See Mr. Hunter's pedigree,
vM tupra.
P. 177. Funeral of doctor Owen. George Owen, M.D. assisted at the birth of king

the time, that Pole died on the same day as queen Mary ; and it is so asserted by Hume
and other writers. According to our diarist (who even mentions the hours) the cardinal
survived the queen for two days.
P. 179. The queen^s coming to London. See a note by Mr. Bruce on this subject

to king Henry VII, He was honoured with the garter, made treasurer of the household
to three successive sovereigns, and died warden of the cinque ports, Dec. 8, 1558.
His liberality was great, his hospitality unbounded. He kept thirty horses in his stables,
and two hundred and five servants in livery, for all of whom he more or less provided at
his death. " \Vell," says Holinshed, " was that nobleman's son that happened to be
preferred into his service." See his eulogy in Holinshed, vol. ii. p. 1171, and see Wiffen's
Memoirs of the House of Russell, i. 396. " Sir Thomas Cheney knight, lord warden of

P. 185. Funeral of sir John Baker, Chancellor of the exchequer from the . . Hen.
VIII. throughout the reigns of Edward and Mary. He is said to have been the only
privy councillor who refused to sign the letters patent popularly called the will of Ed-
ward VI. He was buried at Cranbrook in Kent, in which parish his mansion of Sising-
hurst was situated. See Hasted's History of that county, vol. iii. p. 49.
Ibid. Funeral of Eehnund — Ilapsam is probably the name deficient, as he was one of
the painters employed for queen Mary's funeral. (MS. 1. 14, in Coll. Arm. f. 198.)
P. 186. The Knights of the Bath made at the Coronation of queen Elizabeth were in

P. 187. Funeral of Thomas Greenhill, vaxchandler. Our diarist, if he was not
related to Greenhill, had much to do with him in the course of business, the wax-chandlers
being greatly employed to provide lights for funerals. The Index will be found to refer
to various particulars relating to him and his family. •
Ibid. Funeral of sir Oliver Laurence. "Sir Olyver Larance knight dyed the fyrst
of January 1559, and was buryed at Fernam, and after the scremony done, his hache-
mentes were removed to the church of St. Mychell in Steple within th'yle of Purbek in
the county of Dorset. Sir Olyver Larance knight maryed and had issue Edward his son

and heir, who maryd doter of Trenchard." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 12''.) His wife was
Anne Wriothesley, sister to the earl of Southampton. (Hutchins's Dorset, i. 325.)
P. 188. Funeral of the marchioness of Winchester. " Lady Elsabeth late wyff to the
right noble and puissant pnnce William marques of AVynchester eri of Wylshire knight
of the garter and lord treasorer of England, dyed on Crystmas day the xxv. of December
1558, and was beryed at Basyng on Sonday the 5. of February next foloinge." (MS.
Harl. 897, f. 80.) She was the daughter of sir William Capel.
Ibid. Funeral of sir Thomas Po^^e. This was the founder of Trinity college, Oxford.
The original place of his interment is a matter of question (see the Biogr. Brit. 1700, p.
3404), which our diary does not determine. In his will he directed his executors to
bury him in the church of that parish in which he should chance to die. This would be
Clerkenwell. Stowe has preserved an inscription formerly in St. Stephen's, Walbrook :
" Hie jacet Thomas Pope primus Thesaurarius Augmentationum, et D°" Margaretta uxor
ejus, quce quidem Margaretta obiit 16 Jan. lo3S." Margaret, who was his second wife,
was no doubt interred there ; but the remains of both, it seems, were afterwards removed
to the college chapel, according to the inscription round the verge of the tomb — "corpora
Thome Pope . . . et duarum Elizabethe et Margarote uxorum ejus." Elizabeth had been
the name of hisjiivsi as well as his third wife, but from the former he was divorced. It is
to be presumed, therefore, the third was intended by the name Elizabeth ; and she, after
remarrying sir Hugh Poulet, of Hinton St. George, was brought to rest in the chapel in
1593. There is however only one female eftigy lying by the founder's side: see an
engraving in Skelton's Pietas Oxoniensis, 4to. 1S30.
Ibid, Fishmonger set in the pillory. This man's punishment lasted three days, and is
more fully described in Holinshcd, 1st edit. p. 177S. It was a stroke of domestic policy,
in order to acquire popularity for the queen, by the punishment of one of the hated royal
purveyors. The victim was " one of maister Hunning's servants, that was also one of the
takers of freshe fishe for the provbion of the queenes house."
Ibid. Funeral of the countess of Oxford. Anne, daughter of Thomas Howard, second
duke of Norfolk, K.G. and widow of John lltli earl of Oxford, who had died in 1526.
P. 190. Funeral of lady Roche. Sir William Roche was lord mayor in 1541, and
buried in St. Peter's le Poor in Broad street (Smith's List), where the body of his wife
was laid by his side.
P. 191. Funeral of the old countess of Btdford. Anne, sole daughter and heiress of
sir Guy Sapcote, of Thornhaugh, co. Bedford, married first to sir John Broughton, of
Toddington, co. Bedford ; secondly, about 151S, to sir Richard Jerningham, who was one
of the governors of Tournay, and afterwards employed in an embassy to Spain, who died
in 1524 ; and, thirdly, in the spring of 1526, to sir John Russell, afterwards earl of Bed-
ford (see note, p. 343). By her will, dated 19 Aug. 1557, she committed her burial to the

discretion of the marquess of Winchester lord treasurer, the abbat of Westminster, and
the lord St, John. See further in Wiffen's Memoirs of the House of Russell, i. 391.
P. 191. Funeral of sir John St. Loe. This was the father of sir William St. Loe, captain
of the guard to queen Elizabeth: see the memoirs of the latter, by the Rev. Joseph
Hunter, F.S.A. in the Retrospective Review, Second Series, ii. 315. Stowe has enume-
rated in his list of persons buried at Great St. Helen's " Sir William Sanctlo, and sir
William Sanctlo, father and sonne : " the former should (apparently) be sir John, and sir
William would be buried there within a few years after.
P. 192. Funerals of sir Anthony St. Leger, K.G. and lady St. Leger. *' Sir Anthony
S'leger knight of the garter dyed at his howsse of Vuckham in Kent on thursday the 16.
of Marche in A" j" Elizabeth, 155S, and buryed on wensday the 5. of Apryll next foloing
in the parish church of Alhalows hard by the said howsse." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 17.)
" Lady Agnes S'leger late wj-ff to sir Antony S'leger knight of the garter, doter of
Wadham of Hampshire, dyed at her howsse Vucham in Kent the 24. of Marche in A" j"
Elizabeth, 155S, and was beryed ther in the parish churche on tewsday the 4, of Aprell
next foloinge." (Ibid. f. l/*".) It is remarkable that the wife died eight days after the
husband, but was buried one day before him. She was daughter of Hugh Warham of
Croydon, and niece to archbishop Warham. Their seat and place of burial in Kent is
properly written Ulcombe : see Hasted, ii. 423.
. Ibid. Funeral of sir Thomas Tresham. The heralds' account of this is preserved in
the College of Arms, I. 9, f. 158. His monument at Rushton AUhallows, Northampton-
shLre, is described in Bridges's History of that county, vol. ii. p. 72. It bears his effigy
"in a gown, with his hands erected." See some anecdotes of sir Thomas Tresham and
his thumb ring in Fuller's Church Historj'.
Ibid. At Foirlhs cross master Somsnn. This it appears was the Rehearsal of the spital
sermons just before mentioned. There had been no sermon at Paul's cross for many
■weeks, in consequence of the prohibition of unlicensed preaching. " Hereuppon no
sermon was preached at Panics crusse untill the Rehearsall sermon was made upon the
Sunday after Easter : at which tymc, when the preacher was ready to mount into the
pulpit, the keye could not be found : and when, by commandement of the lord mayor it
was opened by a smyth, the place was very filthy and uncleane." Hayward's Annals of
Elizabeth, p. 5.

by whom she was mother of sir Edward Gary, father of the first viscount Falkland and
sir Adolphus Gary (see Glutterbuck's Hertfordshire, vol. i. p. 129, vol. ii. p. 107).
P. 193. Peace, with France. See Ilayward's Elizabeth, p. 36; Hayward dates the procla-
mation the 7th instead of the 8th April. The treaty, which was signed by Elizabeth at
Westminster on the 20th Jan. and by Henry at Ghateau-Gambray on the 2d April, is
printed by Rymer, Fcedera, vol. xv. pp. 505 — 516.
P. 195. The Serjeants'' feast. This took place at the Inner Temple on the 19th of
April. In the second line read, "and ix. [serjeants made]." Dugdale, indeed, gives
the names of ten as having been called to the degree by wTit tested by the queen on the
12th Dec. namely, Thomas Garus, Reginald Gorbet, John Welsh, John Southcote, "Wil-

Anne due de Alontmoreuci, Jacques ilarquis de Fronsac, Jehan de Morvillier bishop of
Orleans, and the chevalier Glaude de I'Aubespiere (see Rymer, xv. 503.)
P. 199. Marriage of master Matthew Draj)er, for so it should be read, not " master
Mathew, draper." After this marriage with the Latin mass, it seems that the parties were
remarried a fortnight after at Camberwell : as their wedding is recorded in the register of
that parish under the 13th of June. See further of them and the family of Draper in
Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal. iii. 199.
P. 201. May Game. The Ironmongers' company sent men in armour to " the May-
game that went before the queenes mageste to Greenewich." Malcolm, ii. -iS.
Ibid. Funeral of Bocirra. This person was not " a doctor of the law," as our diarist
terms him ; but a proctor only, as shown by his epitaph in St. Faith's : " Here under this
stone resteth, in the mercy of God, the body of M. Thomas Docwray, notary, late one of
the proctors of the Arches, citizen and stationer of liOndon, and Anne his wife. The

P. 203. Funeral of master Sadler. No such " alderman " occurs in the list of Wm.
Smith, Rouge-dragon.
P. 205. Sir Thomas Chamber. Thomas Chamber clerk was presented to the rectory
of Trinity the Less near Queen Hithe July 10, 1555. His cession is not recorded. New-
court identifies him with the incumbent of Horndon on the Hill in Essex 15i4, Bradwell
near Coggeshall 1551 to 1554, St. Mary Bothaw in London 1562 to 1563, Northampsted,
Herts, 1563 to 1565 (where he was deprived), and Langford in Essex 1565 to 15S5, where
he died. If all or most of these belong to one person, and the dates are in a succession,
■which makes it possible, his frequent changes, and the deprivation in 1565, are in accord-
ance with the scandalous character represented in our Diary : of which a former specimen
was given in p. 132.
P. 206. Master Sebastian, Phelips, and Ilaywood. " Sebastian scolemaisterof Powles"
gave queen Mary on new-year's day 1557 "a book of ditties, ^vritten." (Nichols's Pro-
gresses, &c. of Q. Elizabeth, 1823, vol. i. p. xxxv.) Mr. Collier supposes his surname to
have been Westcott (Annals of the Stage, i, 155). — Robert Phelipps was one of the thirty-
two gentlemen of the chapel to king Edward VI. (Hawkins's History of Music, vol. iii.p.

135 — 144. The earl of Arundel, as lord steward of the household, had obtained an inte-
rest in it, which seems almost to have amounted to an alienation, but it reverted to the
Crown in 1591. His first dealings with it were resisted by sir Thomas Ca warden, (the
subject of the following Note,) who had been the previous keeper.
P. 20S. Death and funeral of air Thomas Cauv.rden. Knighted by Henn.- YIII. at
the siege of Boulogne in 1544, a gentleman of the king's privy chamber in 1546, and in his
latter years master of the revels, tents, and pavilions. His altar-tomb remains in Bletch-
ingley church, but without inscription. (^Manning and Bray's Surrey, ii. 300.) Among
other documents relating to sir Thomas Cawarden and his office, published in the Loseley
Manuscripts, edited by A. J. Kenipe, esq. F.S.A. 1835, Svo. are (p. 175) his will dated
St. Bartholomew's day 1551>, and (p. 179) the charges of his obsequies, amounting to
^Ql. \5s. 1 J(/. and the funeral feast to 32/. IQs. M. The death of his wife shortly fol-
lowed, and the charges of lier funeral are also stated.

Stowe, both in his Chronicle and in his Survay, when describing the church of Allhallows,

downe, for sparing the charges of reparation."

Sweden. He came to negociate a marriage between his elder brother Eric and queen
Elizabeth, See Hayward's Annals, p. 37. Notwithstanding the praise given him by
Cecill in the passage which Jlr. Bruce has there quoted, and the credit he gained by his
princely living here (see our Diary, p. 230), his brother (then king of Sweden) im-
prisoned him on his return, in resentment for his ill success. (See Stowe's Chronicle,
1631, p. 640.)
Ibid. Alderman Lodge sicorn sheriff. Son of William Lodge, of Cresset, in Shrop-
shire: sheriff 1559-60, lord mayor 1563-4 : " in which year he gave up his cloak, but lived
many yeares after, and was buried in Aldermary church with sir William Laxton, whose
daughter he had married." Arms, Azure, a lion rampant argent, crusilly gules, within a
bordure fiory-de-lis of the second. (List by Wni. Smith, Rouge-dragon.) He was of
the Grocers' company, and died, says Stowe, in 1583 ; but the inscription on his tomb in
Aldermary church did not state the year of his death, but that of a more memorable
mortality : " Here lyeth buried sir Thomas Lodge knight, and Dame Anne his wife. Hee
was L. IMaior in the yeere of our Lord God 1563, when God did visit this Citie with a
great plague for our sinnes. For we are sure that our Redeemer liveth, and that we shall
rise out of the earth in the latter day, &c. Job 19."
Ibid. Alderman Martin s>ror7i sheiiff. Afterwards mayor in 1567-8. Son of Law-
rence Martin, of Melford in Suffolk. " He dwelled on the west side of Soper-lane, over
against sir Stephen Soame." Arms, Argent, a chevron between three mascles within a
bordure sable ; quartered with. Gules a fess engrailed between three swan's heads erased
argent. (List by Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.) "A very good tombe " was erected in
St. Antholin's, Budge-row, " Unto sir Roger Martin knight, a mercer and a marchant
late," with verses, which may be seen in Stowe. He died Dec. 20, 1573, having had
eight children, from Elizabeth " of Gra'cia soyle, and Castlynes race," the widow of
Thomas Knowles, who died July 11, 1550, having had three children by him.
Ibid. Master Euett chosen lord mayor. Son of Edmund Hewitt, of Wales in York-
shire. Sheriff 1553-4, lord mayor 1559-60. He was knighted during his mayoralty (see
p. 224). This was sir William Hewitt, known as the ancestor of the duke of Leeds:
Edward Osborne his apprentice, afterwards lord mayor in 1582, having married his only
daughter and heir, whose life he had previously saved, when she fell from a window of
her father's house on Loudon bridge. Such is the tradition : but our old authority says
that sir William " dwelled in Philpot-lane, nere Fenchurch-strete." Arms, Azure, on a

Ibid. Funeral of Frances duchess of Suffolk. Daughter of Charles Brandon, duke of
Suffolk, and Mary queen dowager of France, daughter of king Henry VII. She was
first married to Henry Grey, marquess of Dorset, who was created duke of Suffolk in
1551 (see p. 10) ; by whom she was mother of queen Jane : and afterwards accepted the
hand of Adrian Stokes esquire, who erected her monument in Westminster abbey. Their
portraits together are engraved by Vertue. Her style by our Diarist as " my lady Frances"
did not arise either from ignorance or accident. The title " lady " was then equivalent
to the modern title " princess ; " and the duchess usually bore it, as her daughter " the lady
Jane " had done, as distinctive of her being a member of the Blood Royal. — The heralds'
account of her funeral is preserved in the College of Arms, I. 9, f. 153-4, and I. 14,

street," (list of mayors, by William Smith, Rouge-dragon): afterwards, on becoming an
alderman, he joined one of the twelve great companies, choosing the Fishmongers. A
marble tomb to his memory was erected in St. Dionis Back-church, with an inscription in
Latin poetry, which may be seen in Stowe. It states that his sole heir was his grand-
daughter Anne, daughter of his son Thomas, and married to a gentleman named Stukeley.
His arms were, Undee argent and sable, a chevron or between three bezants, on a chief of

poetical epitaph in Jesus chapel, afterwards St. P'aitL's, printed by Stowe. Her will was
proved on the 5th Jan.
Ibid. Funeral of the late bishop of Carlisle. Owen Oglethorpe, appointed 27 Oct.
1556, deprived June 1559.
Ibid. Funeral of the late lishop of LichMd and Coventry. Ralph Baynes, elected
10 Nov. 1554 ; also deprived 1559. He died some weeks before Dr. Oglethorpe, when
his burial at St. Dunstan's, Fleet Street, was thus entered in the parish register: " 1559,
Nov. 24. Mr. Doctor Banes." Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal. vol. iv. p. 116.
P. 222. Play [at Wkite]^!!^ The conjecture made in the note is incorrect : for the
play was at 'Whitehall. See the estimate of sir Thomas Cawarden for the court revels
this Christmas, printed by Mr. Collier in his Annals of the Stage, vol. i. p. 174.
P. 223. Funeral of Richard Cheticode esquire. His pennon and surcoat were re-
maining at St. Dunstan's, temp. Nich. Charles, and their bearings are described in the
Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal. ]So7, vol. iv. p. 101.
P. 224. Funeral of the late 'lighoji of Winchester. John White, warden of Winchester
college, consecrated bishop of Lincoln 1554 (see p. 58), translated to Winchester 1556,
deprived 1559. He wxs brother to alderman sir John White, to whose house he had
been allowed to repair on coming out of the Tower (see p. 203), this being an instance
(to which there are many paralKls) of two brothei-s bearing the same Christian name. Sir
Thomas White, of South Waniborougli, Hampshire, was his brother-in-law, for, though not
nearly related in paternal descent, there had been two marriages which connected the
families, sir Thomas Wliite having married Agnes sister to the bishop and sir John, and
sir John having married fur his tirst wife Sibell sister of sir Thomas White. See the
Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal. vol. vii. p. 212.

P. 225. Funeral of John Williams esr^uire. Two members of this family were buried
within a few days. The second (imperfect) paragraph relates to " John Williams es juyer,
son and heyr to Renold Williams of Burfyld in Barkshire, marj-d Cysely doter to Hcury
Poole of Wylshire, and dyed sans issu in Darby howsse near Powles the 16 of Febriiary

P. 228. Veron admitted jmrsoii 0/ St. Martin's at L)idgate- John Veron, S.T.F. was
instituted to this rectory S Mar. 1559, on the deprivation of John Morren, S.T.B. New-
court (Repertorium, i. 415,) has misprinted the name Heron, and supposed this rector to
be the same with John Heron, who was vicar of Little Canfield in Essex in 1514-5. Veron
afterwards obtained the vicarage of St. Sepulchre, Oct. 21, 1560, and held both livings
until his death in 1563, together with the prebend of Mora, to which he was collated
Nov. 8, 1559. His first ordination as a deacon took place at Fulliam Aug. 2, 1551, from
the hands of bishop Ridley, his name being entered in the register as " Joh'es Veroncus,
Scnonens. dioc. in Gallia : " and he was made priest on the 24th of the same month.
(Strjpe, ilenior.) He previously translated into P^nglish from Latin the Short Pathway
to Scripture of Zuinglius, which was printed at Worcester 21 iNIay, 1550, and was dedi-
cated to sir Arthur Uarcy (see Strype, ^Memorials, Book 1. chap. 34). On the 3d Jan.
1552 he was instituted to the rectory of St. Alphage in London, of which he was deprived
in 1554, He is frequently noticed as a preacher by the writer of this Diai-y (see the
Index).
P. 229. Proclamation relative to the French Hng and Scotish queen. See in RvTiier,
vol. XV. p. 569, the treaty with James duke of Chateau THerault, dated 27 Feb. 1559,
the object of which was to prevent the union of Scotland to France.
P. 232. Procession of knights of the garter. This paragraph must not be passed -with-
out calling to remembrance a very curious print which exists representing queen Elizabeth
accompanying the procession of the order of the garter, which was designed by Marcus
Gerrard, and set forth by Thomas Dawes, Rouge-croix pursuivant, and of which there is
a copy by Hollar in Ashmole's Order of the Garter, p. 515. It is, however, of a later
date than the present Diary, namely the 2otli year of the queen's reign, 1578.
Ibid. Funeral of mistress Malorg. " April 26. Mrs. Anne Malory, wife of Richard
Malory alderman, in the chapel of St. Thomas de Acre." Register of St. Pancraa, Soper-
lane. (Malcolm, ii. 177.) Our diarist seems to say tliat she died in childbed with her
seventeenth child. The alderman was remarried on the 8th April following to ]Mrs. Lane
^t St. Beuet Fink. (Ibid. p. 463.)
P. 235. Funeral of mistress Allen. At St. Leonard's Fish street hill was this inscrip-
tion : " Here under this stone lieth Joane wife of William Allyn citizen and alderman,

cian to king Edward VI. March 3, 1546-7, with an annuity of 100/. (ibid. 143) ; and on
the 22d Nov. 1548, was appointed one of the commissioners to visit the university of
Cambridge (ibid. ITS).
Pp. 236, 237. Death and fmifral of Anthony Hussey esquire. From epitaphs in St.
Martin's Ludgate, which will be found in Stowe, it appears tliat this person, a native of
London, had been chief registrar of tlic archbishop of Canterbury and of the cliapter of
St. Paul's ; and had also for some years performed the functions of a judge in maritime
causes, and a master in chancery. At length in his advanced years (having apparently
resigned his office of registrar of the court of Canterbury to his son AVilliam, who died in
the November before him, aged 2S,) he became the governor of the company of merchants
of Muscovy, which (it is stated in tlie same place) exercised their commerce among the
Belgians as well as the Muscovites and Germans, — " lingua facundus, memoria tenas,
ingenio, prudentia, doctrinaque pollens, morum comitate et probitate gratiosus." He
died June 15G0, a>t. 63.
P. 238. Sccntary Boxall. John Boxall, secretary of state to queen Mary: see notices
of him in tiie Zurich Lettei-s, 1st Series, p. 255.
Ibid. The 3/eirhaht-tai/fors' />'iKt. As an old scholar of the grammar-school of this
woi-shipful company, I cannot resist transcribing the memorandum made by the honest
merchant-taylor John Stowe on the very memorable event of this year: "Thexxj.of
March, 1560, a notable gramraar-schoole was founded by the mayster, wardens, and assist-
ants of tlie worshipfull company of the Marchant-taylours of tlie citie of London, in the
piiryshe of S. Laurence Pountency, the ryght worshypful Emanuell Lucar, Robert Rose,
■VVyllyam Merike, John Sparke. and Robert Duckyngton then being mayster and wardens
of the same company." It will be seen that these names are the same as those given by"
our diarist in p. 239 ; but the Christian name of the master sorely puzzled him. Emanuell
Lucar married the daughter of Paul Withypoll ; she died Oct. 29, 1537, and her husband
erected a monnnirnt to her in St. Lawrence Pountney, with a very remarkable testimonv
to her varied accomplishuients, written in English verse, which is preserved in Stowe's
Survay.

P, 239. Fuherul of raasttr Heretiden. This family is not noticed in Hasted's Kent,
but some of their epitaphs, formerly in the parish church of " St. Anne's in the willowes,"
in the ward of Aldersgate, will be found in Stowe's Survay of London, 1633, p. 326.
Richard Herenden of West Farleigh in Kent, esq. (probably the person whose funeral is
here recorded) was father of Edward Herenden esquire, citizen and mercer of London,
who died 1572.
.Ibid. Accident in Crooked lane. This passage, so imperfect in our diary, is elucidated
by one in Stowe's chronicle of 1560 : "The fifth of July, through shooting of a gunne
which brake in the house of one Adrian Arten, a Dutchman in Crooked lane, and setting
fire on a firken and barell of gunpowder, four houses were blown up, and divers other
sore scattered."
Ibid. Funeral of the earl of Euntingdoti. Francis second earl of Huntingdon, K.G.
succeeded his father in 1554. lie died at Ashby de la Zouche, June 22, 1560 (:MS. Karl.
897, f. 80); and a full memoir of him will be found in Nichols's History of Leicestershire,
vol. iii. pp. 580-583, and at p. 619 a description of his monument in the church of Ashby
de la Zouche, of which a folio engraving is given, pi. Ix.xxiii. It bears recumbent effigies
of the earl and of his countess, who was a niece of cardinal Pole, and acted in 1569 as
administratrix of the cardinal's will.
P. 240. Funeral of lady Chester. Sir William Chester, draper, (son of John Chester,
citizen and draper of London,) sheritT in 1554-5, lord mayor in 1560-1, was buried " with
his wives," in the church of St. F>.lmund the King in Lombard-street. He was the son of
sir John Chester, by Margaret, afterwards re-married to sir John :\Iilborne, draper, lord
mayor in 1522. Several memorials to these and other of his relatives were in the church
above named ; but Stowe's account of them is confused. Sir William Chester " dwelled
at the upper end of Lombard-street, over against the George, nere to St. Edmund's church,
where he is buried." Arms, Per pale argent and sable, a chevron engrailed between three
goat's heads counterchanged, horned or, within a bordure gules bezantee. (List by

Ibid. Funeral of master May, dean of Paid's. "William ]May, LL.D. Ho was the
" neit dean of Paul's," inasmuch as he had replaced Dr. Cole, but he had been previously
dean from 1545 to the accession of Mary. At the time of his death he was designated to

Portsmouth, widow of Edward Mirfyn of London (son of sir John Jlirfyn, lord mayor in
1519,) and also widow of John Brigadiiie, of Northampton. After this, lord North mar-
ried another lady who had had tfoee husbands, and died himself before the end of 1565.
The present lady was the mother of his children.
Ibid. Funeral of lady Amy Dudley. The name of " Amy Robsart " is invested with
a prevailing interest as the heroine of poetrj- and romance. I have collected what is known
of her, and endeavoured to sift the mysterious rumours of her assassination, in a memoir
which appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine for December, 1845. I have now to
append the following additional memorial: " Lady Amie Kobsert, late wy-ff to the right
noble the lord Robert Dudley, knight and companyon of the most noble order of the
garter, and master of the horsse to the quones moste excellent majestic, dyed on sonday
the 8. of Septembre at a howsse of Mr. Foster, iij. myles from Oxford, in the 2. yere of

P. 243. Fi'.neral of sir (Nicholas) Pelham. Sir Nicholas Pelham (to whom our
diarist erroneously gave the Christian name John, which was that of his son and heir), was
of Laughton in Sussex, and lineal ancestor of the earls of Chichester. He was M.P. for
Arundel 1547, sheriff of Surrey and Sussex 1549, and knighted Nov. 17 in that year, and
afterwards twice knight of the shire for Sussex. He died Dec. 15, 1560, £et. 44, and was
buried in St. Mieliacl's church, Lewes, where is his monument, with a kneeling effi"-v: of

Zurich Letters, 1st Series, p. 93.
P. 244. Funeral of Francis earl of Shrewshurti, K.G. Misled by the diarist's spelling
of the name Frances, the word " countess " was inadvertently inserted instead of " earl."
He died at his manor of Sheffield 28 Sept. 15C0, and the funeral took place at the same
place on the 21st Oct. The ceremonial at full is printed in Peck's Desiderata Curiosa,
lib. vii. pp. 17-21; and also in Hunter's Ilallanishire, p. 56.

Ibid. Funeral of sir John Jcrmij. Sir John Jermy was of Mctfield and Brightwell in
Suffolk, the latter of which is about five miles from Ipswich, and was therefore the
residence to which our diarist alludes. lie had been one of the knights of the Bath made

ticularly some curious English verses (A". 1529), alluding to funeral ceremonies, which begin
" When the bells be merrily roung,
And the masse devoutly soung.
And the nieate [be] merrily eaten.
Then shall Robart Trappis, his wyffs and his children be forgotten."

P. 254. Funeral of lad// Jane Sei/mour. Daughter of Edward duke of Somerset, and
supposed to have been destined by him to become the consort of his nephew king Edward.
A Latin letter ^Titten by her (of course under the dictation of her tutor) to the Reformers
Bucer and Fagius, dated at Syon, June 12, 1549, is published in the Third Series of
Zurich Lettei-s, printed for the Parker Society. She was one of queen Elizabeth's maids
of honour, and shortly before her death she had taken an active part in promoting the
clandestine marriage of her brother the earl of Hertford with her companion the lady
Katharine Grey, a line of conduct which would certainly have brought upon her the
anger of her royal mistress, had she lived until it was discovered. (See Ellis's Orig.
Letters, Second Series, vol. ii. p. 272.) Her age was only nineteen. See an engraving
of her monumental tablet, with the inscription, erected by " her deare brother " the earl,
in Dart's Westminster Abbey, vol. i. pi. 12. In the accounts of St. Mai-garet's parish,
Westminster, is an entry of 10^-. received at her funeral.
Ibid. Duath of sir Arthur Darcij. Sir Arthur was the second son of Thomas lord
Darcy, who suft'ored death for his share in the Pilgrimage of Grace. He had married
Mary, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Nicholas Carew, K.G. whence his death at Bedding-
ton, the mansion of that family. Lady Darcy's funeral has before occurred, in p. 222.

Elizabeth, and married to John Baptist Castillion, of Benham Valence, Berks. (Archae-
ologia, xxxii. 371.)
P. 259. Funeral of lady Wharton. " Lady Anne Ratclyff, daughter to Robert erl of

P. 260. Proclamation for slips and half slips. This proclamation was dated 12 June
1561, and a MS. copy is in the lihniry of tlie Society of Antiquaries. See its contents
NOTES. 3S5
described in Ruding's Annals of the Coinage, s?(6 anno. The name "slips" does not
occur in the document, but it appears that the coins referred to were "base monies," one
current for three half-pence, and the other for three farthings : and the same term was in
use for many years after, as appears by the example from Shakspere's Romeo and Juliet,
with others from Ben Jonson, &c. given in Nares's Glossary. From " Theeves falling out,"
by Robert Greene, we derive this exact definition : " Certain slips, which are counterfeit
pieces of money, being brasse, and covered over with silver, which the common people
call sHps."" (Harl. Misc. viii, 399.)
P. 262, The ling of Smden. In Haj-nes's Cecill Papers, p. 369, is the minute of a
curious letter from the secretary to the lord mayor, dated 21 July, 1561, commencing with
a statement that "The queenes majesty understandeth that sondry bookebynders and
stationers do utter certen papers, ^rherin le pri/nted the faces of Mr majesty and the king of
Siceden. And, although her majesty is not misconteuted that ether hir owne face or the
sayd kyng's be prynted or portracted, yet, to be joyned in one paper with the sayd king,
or with any other prjiice that is knowne to have made any request for mariadg to hir
majesty, is not to be allowed;" and the said portraits were therefore to be withdrawn from
sale.
P. 264. Burial of [ WiUiarii] Bill, dean of Westminster. His sepulchral brass remains
in the abbey, and has been engraved, as also a portrait derived from it, for the series of
portraits of the deans of Westminster which accompany their lives in Neale and Brayley's
Historj- of Westminster Abbey. See also an engraving in Dart, i. 101.
Ibid. Christening of RoheH Ddhiek. It was no unfrequent honour paid by queen
Elizabeth to her subjects to stand godmother to their children. In a list of her presents
of plate there are nine instances between the 21st April and the 24th Nov. 1561, and
among them, " Item, given by her Majestic tho loth of July, to the chrj'stenyng of sir

Thomas Huchen, citizen and mercer, and married first Hugh Methwold mercer, and
secondly John Blundell mercer, and had children by both, who are enumerated. The
marriage took place in his mayoralty, as thus recorded in the register of Allhallows, Bread-

London. Qui obiit 2. die Septemb. An. Dom. 1562. Cujus, &c." (Stowe.)
Ibid. The young earl of Hertford Irought to the Toicer. This was on account of his
marriage with lady Katharine Grey, sister to the late queen Jane. Respecting this stolen
alliance see several letters in Ellis's Second Series, vol. ii. pp. 272, et seq. and Bayley's
History of the Tower of London, pp. 45S-1G0.
Ibid. Master Strift of Rotherham. Robert Swift esquire, mercer, of Rothcrham,
where he " lyv^de many yeares in vertuous fame, grett wellthe, and good woorship," and
had attained his S4th year. See his epitaph in Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol. ii. p. 18,

his eldest son is of constant occurrence in Lodge's Illustrations, as one of the servants and
most frequent correspondents of the earl of Shrewsbury.
Ibid. Funeral of sir JuMesIjolei/ne. One of the uncles of queen Anne Boleyne, He
was of Blickling, co. Norfolk, and was buried there on the 5tli Dec. 1561 ; having

burnt " might have been sold, and given to the poor."
P. 267. Funeral of nuuttr Cot grave. This may very probably have been the father of
Hugh Cotgrave, who soon after became Richmond herald. His kinsman " master Tott,

P. 268, Master Uarper elected lord inai/ur. Sir William Harper, son of William
Harper, of the town of Bedford, sheriff 155G-7, lord mayor 1561-2. "He dwelled in
Lombard-streete, where Mr. Butler now (1605) dwelleth. But was buried at Bedford,
where he was borne." Arms, Azure, on a fess between three spread eagles or a fret
between two ■ martlets azure. (List by Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.) This was another
of those worthy citizens, so many of whom have occurred in these pages, whose names are
still remembered as the founders of our great cilucational establishments. The estates left
by sir William Harper for the granmiar-school of Bedford, lying in the vicinity of Bedford
Row, the Foundling Hospital, and Lamb's Conduit-street, have of late years vastly in-
creased in value, and proportionately benefited his foundation. He died Feb. 27, 1573,
aged 77; and was buried in St. Paul's at Bedford, where is his effigy in brass plate, from
which an engraving was published in Waller's Monumental Brasses, fol. 1841.
P. 269. Master Gotrth. This preacher, who our Diarist informs us to have been son of
John Gough the printer (see Ames's Typograjihical Antiquities, by Dibdin, vol. iii. pp.
202-416) is again mentioned in p. 285 as the parson of St. Peter's in Cornhill. He was
John Gough clerk, presented to the vicarage of Braintree in Essex by John Gooday
clothier, 3 Dec. 1554, deprived 1556; presented to St. Peter's Cornhill, by the mayor,
aldermen, and commonalty of London 15 N'ov. 1560, deprived 1567. (Newcourt, Repcrt.
Lond.i. 526;ii. 89.)
P. 271. Death and funeral of the good sir Roidand Uill. This reverend senator has
the highest character given him in his epitapli, which was placed " on a faire stone in the
south aile of St. Stephen's Walbrook :"
A friend to vertue, a lover of learning,
A foe to vice, and vehement corrector,
A prudent person, all truth supporting;
A citizen sage, and worthy counsellor ;
A lover of wisdome, of justice a furtherer,
Loe, hero his corps lyeth, sir Rowland Hill by name.
Of London late lord maier, and alderman of fame.
He was the son of Thomas Hill, of Hodnet in Shropshire; was sheriff 1541-2; lord mayor
1549-50. He founded a grammar school at Drayton in Shropshire, and performed other
admirable acts of beneficence rcconled by Stowe in his Survay, in his chapter " Honour
of Citizens." "He dwelled in Walbrook, over against the s;iid chun-h of St. Stephen;
and was buried at St. Stephen's in Walbrook 1561." Arms, Azure, two bai-s argent, on
a canton sable a chevron between three plieons of the second, an eagle's head erased of
the third, between two mullets gules. (List by W'm. Smith, Kougc-dragon.)
388 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
P. 272. Proclamation onjoreign coins. This proclamation was dated the 15th of
Nov. 1561, and is extant among the collection in the Society of Antiquaries' library. It
is curious as representing in woodcuts the counterfeit angels of Tournay and Holland, in
comparison w-ith a genuine angel of Henry VIII. (See Ruding's Annals of the Coinage,
sub anno.) The same proclamation is noticed in a Norwich Chronicle as follows :
" This year, upon sunday the 23d of November, there was sent from the Queen a
Proclamation to be published, that pistoles and other foreign crowns of gold and silver,
only French crowns excepted, should not pass from man to man as current money, but as
bullion be brought into the Tower, there to have as much as they are worth." Papers of
the Norwich and Norfolk Archaiol. Soc. vol. i. p. Ii5.
P. 273. Funeral of Laurence Dalton, Norroy king of ar^ns. See his epitaph in Stowe,
and his funeral insignia described in the Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal. 1S37, vol. iv.
pp. 101-111. His funeral ceremony b recorded in the College of Arms. I. 13, f. 3-',
and his brass is drawn in the MS. Harl. 1099.
P. 274. Christmas festivities in the Temjyle. A long account of the celebration of these
festivities will be found in Dugdalc's Origines Juridiciales, pp. 150 et seq. and extracted
in Nichols's Progresses, &c. of Queen Elizabeth, 1823, vol. i. p. 131.
Ibid. The great O'Xeill of Ireland. This person, whom our Diarist in the next page
takes the liberty to call " the wild Irishman," was John or Shane O'Neill, eldest son of
Connac O'Neill, created earl of Tyrone by Ilenrj' VIII. in 1542. After a career the turbu-
lence of which fully justifies Machyn's epithet, he was slain in the year 1567, by Alexander
Oge MacConnell.
P. 275. Funeral of the cov.ntess of Bath. Margaret, only child of John Donnington,
of Stoke Newington in Middlesex, married successively to sir Thomas Kytson,sLr Richard
Long, and John Bourchier carl of Bath. The last died in 1560. Her monument in
Hengrave church, Sutlblk, with recumbent effigies of herself and her three husbands, is
engraved in Gage's History of that parish, 1822, 4to. p. 65; and in the same volume are
several letters to and from her, an inventory of her property, her will, and an account of
her funeral expenses, &c.
Ibid. Plqy I J the gentlemen of the Temjile. This play was the celebrated " Ferrex and
Porrex," wTitten by Sackville and Norton, the old editions of which bear in their title-
page, that it was '• shewed before the Queenes most excellent Majestie, in her Highnes
court of Whitehall, the ISth Jan. 15G1, by the gentlemen of the Inner Temple." Col-

in Rjmer's Fcedera, &c. vol. xv. p, 620; followed by that advancing his predecessor,
William Flower, to the office of Norroy (see the ceremony of creation mentioned in p. 276).
P. 275. Funeral of Charles Wryoikesley, Windsor herald. He died "at Camden's
HOWSSE, in the parish of St. Pulcres in London," (MS. Harl, 897, f, 27''.) " Item. On
Sounday the 25th of January, An°. 1561, departed out of this world about sixe of the
cloacke, Charles Wryotheley aPs Windsour herauld, who was burj-ed at Saint Sepulcres
churche w'hout Newgate, on Tuesday in the morning, at the which buriall the sayd
corsse was covered with a pall of blacke velvett, and on the same was laid a rich coate of
armes, and of each comer of the sayd corpes went a pursivant of armes in a mourning
gowne and hood, and in their coates of armes. And after the corsse went Somei-sett
herauld in his gowne and hood, and after him Mr. Garter and Mr. Clarencieux, and after
them the rest of the office of armes not in blacke." From the Papers of Sir Edward
"Walker, Garter, " Heralds, vol. I. p. 120, Coll. Arm.'' See also the MS. I. 13, f. 34.
P. 276. Julyus Scsar"j)layed." I appended the editorial note to the word ^j^gc^ in
this passage, because it appeared to me very doubtful whether it was not added by a person
■who misunderstood what our Diarist meant to record. It is possible there was no play of
Julius Csesar performed on this occasion, beyond his personation among the men of arras
in the cavalcade, like one of the " men in armour " in my Lord ^layer's show. Mr.
Collier, however, (Hist, of English Dramatic Poetry, i. ISO; ii. 415,) has quoted this
passage of our Diarj- as attesting the existence of an historical play, called Julius Cajsar
and which would have been the first English drama derived from Roman history.
P. 277. Christening of master CronnveWs daiir/hter. The first supposition in the foot-
note is correct. The child's mother was the daughter of sir Ralph Warren, formerly lord
mayor of London, and " my lady White " was grandmother as well as godmother, as will
be seen by consulting the note already given in p. 330.
P. 279. Funeral of Pcolert Mellish, Died March, 1562. Epitaph in Stowe.
P. 280. Mari-iage of master Bacon's dawjlder. James Bacon, a brother of the lord
keeper, was a fishmonger and alderman of London, and sheriff in 156!}, but died in 1573
before arriving at the mayoralty. He was buried at St. Dunstan's in the East, and his
epitaph will be found in Stowe's Survay, edit. 1633, p. 139.
P. 281. Funeral of sir Giles Stvaiujirays. Tin's was the name of the knight our
Diarist calls Strange. " Sir Gyles Strangwysh, of Melbury Sanford, in the county of
Dorset, knight, dysceased the xj"> of Apryll, 1562, and is beryed in the churohe of Mel-
bury. He marjed Jone doter of John Wadham of Meryfelde in the county of Somerset
and by her had issue John Stranguysh son and heyr, George 2 son, Nycolas 3 son Anne."
(MS. Lansd. 897, f. 20'>.)
P. 281. Monstrous child. The prodigious births of the year 1562 (see pp. 281 282
284) wUl be found duly chronicled by Stowe, and they are thus noticed in a letter of
390 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.

non possimus multum conqueri. Sarisberico, 14 Augusti, 1562." Zurich Letters, 1st
Series, epist. t.
P. 283. Funeral of master Godderyle, It seems not improbable, from the attendance
at this funeral, that this was a brother or near relative of the late bishop of Ely and lord
chancellor. In the register of St. Andrew's he is styled sir Richard Goodricke. (Malcolm.)
Ibid. Funeral of lod II Ch:ney. See the note on sir Thomas Cheney in p. 3G9, There
is an effigj- of the lady at Toddington; see the Topographer, 1S46, vol. i. p. 156.
P. 234. TJue Ironmongers^ Feast. At "A courto holden the xxvij. day of May,
A" 1562," the following order was made, " AVhcreas the dyner hath hearetofore bene used
to be kept upon the sondaye next after Trynitie sondaye, that the dyner shall from hcnce-
forthe be kepte upon the monday sevennight after TrjTiitie sonday, that is to saye, the
niondaye next after the olde accustomed daye; and that the yeomondrje, as well house-
houlders as others, must be warned to be at the hall upon the sayd monday in their best
arraye, as they have bene accustomed to be heretofore upon the sondaye, for to offer at the
churche as aforetime ewssid." This was an alteration in accordance with the increased
respect for the sabbath enjoined by the Reformation. Mr. CliTistopher Draper, alderman
■was master of the company on this, occasion ; William Done and John Miston, wardens.
(Communicated by John Nicholl, esq. F.S.A.)
P. 234. Hihjas Ifnll. The real name of this prophet was Elizeus Hall : many par-
ticulars respecting him will be found in Strype, Annals, chap. 25.
P. 285. The monument of sir William Wahrorth. This memorable civic hero
had founded a college for chantry priests attached to the church of St. Michael's, Crooked-
lane ; see his will printed in the Exccrpta Historica, 1831. 8vo. The college shared the
fate of other religious foundations ; but the monument was now restored by the zeal of a
member of the Fishmongers' Company, which afterwards kept it in repair, until it was
destroyed in the great fire of 1665. The poetical epitaph, which was added at one of the
repairs, will be found in Weever's Funerall Monuments and the several Histories of
London. Stowe states the epitaph in his time bore the name of Jack Straw in lieu of that
of Wat Tyler, — an historical error for which he severely censures the Fishmongers as
" men ignorant of their antiquities ;" but our own Diarist has made a still graver error in
naming Jack Cade, the rebel of the days of Henry VI.
= NOTES. 391
P. 286. Master Fuwilliavi. Thi3 probably records the burial of Thomas Fitz-
William alias Fisher, who was a natural son of the Earl of Southampton, mentioned by
Ralph Brooke in bis Catalogue of Nobility. The Earl, who died at Newcastle when com-
manding the Van of the army sent against Scotland in 1542, left no legitimate issue.
P. 288. Marriage of master Coke and master NicholWs daurjider. " John Nicolls of
London, gentleman, at this present (.1563) comtroUer of the workes at London bridge, and
all other lands and revenues of the same, and in charge for provision of come for the city
of London," married for his first wife Christian Thompson, and had issue two daughters,
Mary married to Francis Garrard, and Elizabeth married to Edmond Cooke of Lizens in
Kent gentleman — the marriage mentioned by Machyn. Mr. Nicholls married, secondly,
Elen daughter of James Holt of Stubley, co. Lancaster. (Visitation of Middlesex, by
Robt. Cooke, Clarencieux, 15GS.) Machyn has afterwards (p. 305) noticed a christening at
Mr. Nicholls's, probably of a daughter, by his second marriage. The descendants of his
brother Thomas Nicholls (among whom was William Nicholls, dean of Chester,) are
'recorded in the Bedfordshire visitation of 1628. MS. Harl. 1531, f. 158.
Ibid. My lord Giles's davfjlder. Another daughter of lord Giles Pawlet was christened
the next year at the same church : " lady Elizabeth Pawlett, 31 Aug. 1563 :" and on the
25th Julie, 1572, was buried at St. Botulph's " Lady Fallat, wife to the right hon. lord
Gyles Pallat." Malcolm's Lend. Kediv. i. 344.
P. 289. Alderman Chamherlain chosen slicnff. " Rychard Chamberlen, ironmonger,
alderman and late shreve of London, dyed on tuesday the xix"" of November, 1566, in A°
9° Elizabeth' Regine, at his howsse in the parishe of St. Olyff in the Old Jur\-, and was
beryed on Monday 25. of November, in the parishe churche there. He married jirst Anne,
doughter of Robert Downe of London, ironmonger, and had issue Elizabeth wjii' to Hugh
Stewkley of London lawyar, Thomas Chamberlen, Rychard, Alexander, Robert, Margery,
John, George; secondlj, Margarat, wedo of Bristo groser of London, doter and one of
th'eyrs of Nycolas Hurleton, of Cheshire, somtyme clerk of the grene cloth to king H. 8.
She dyed sans issu." (ilS. Harl. 897, f. 30.) Alderman Chamberlain's epitaph will be
found in Stowe.
P. 290. Funeral of the earl of Oxford. " This John Vere, erl of Oxford, dysseased at
his castell of Hemyngham in Essex on Monday the 3. of August, in the 4. yere of tlie quene
our soveraigne lady Elizabeth, &c. 1562, and wxs beryed on tewsday the 25. of August

ter of Raff erle of AVestmerland, and had issue Katercn wyff to Edward lord Wyndesor ;
secondly, Margery doughter of Golding, syster to sir Thomas Goldinge, and had issue
Edward erl of Oxford, and Mary." (.MS. Harl. 807, f. 81.)
P. 291. Master Ilalsun master Heyword's dejntty. Sir Rowland Hay ward died Dec.
5, 1593, having lived "an alderman the space of 30 yearcs, and (at his death) the
ancientest alderman of the said city." (Epitaph in St. Alphago, where his monument

still remains, with effigies of two wives and sixteen children, and was repaired in 1777,
■when the church was rebuilt.) He was sheriff in 1563-4. It is therefore possible
that sir Rowland may have been the "master Keyword " mentioned in this page; but
then he appears to have been alderman of Cripplegate ward, and dwelt in Philip lane, by
Cripplegate, in the house adjoining St. Alphage's church. (Arms of the Lord Jlayors,
ty Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.) Master Hulsun may have been " deputy " alderman of
the same ward ; but buried at saint Bride's in Fleet-street on account of his connection
with Bridewell hospital.
P. 291. Funeral of the countess of Bedford. Margaret daughter of sir John St. John
of Bletsoe, and first wife of Francis second earl of Bedford. " Lady Margaret, countess
of Bedford, dyed at Owbome the xxviij'h of August, and was berj-ed the x"" of September
at Cbenyes, in A" 15G2." (MS. Harl. S97, f. 84.)
P. 292. Funeral of lord (not lady) Mordaunt. John first lord Mordaunt, summoned
to parliament in 1558, died 28 Aug. 1562, at Turvey, co. Bedford, where he was buried,
and a sumptuous monument erected with effigies of himself and lady, of which there is an
engraving in Halstead's Genealogies, fol. 1785, p 593.
P. 293. Funeral of sir Harry Grey, Irother to the earl of Kent. Richard earl of Kent,
having nmch wasted his estate by gaming, died at the sign of the George in Lombard-
street, in 15 Hen. YIII. and wa.s buried at the "White Friars in Fleet-street. Whereupon
his brother and heir male, su- Henry Grey of Wrest, by reason of his slender estate, de-
clined to take upon him the title of Earl. (Ralph Brooke's Catalogue of Nobilitie.) He
died Sept. 24, 1562 ; and in his epitaph at St. Giles's, Cripplegate, was styled " Sir Henry
Grey knight, sonne and heire to George lord Grey of Ruthen and earl of Kent."
(Stowe's Survay.) The dignity wa.s resumed by his grandson Reginald, in 1571. " Sir
Harry Grey knight dyed at his howssu in London in Sant Gyles parishe the xvj"' day of
September, in the 4"> yere of our soveraigne lady quene Elizabethe, and was buryed in the
parishe churche there the xxij''' of the same mounthe, and lyeth in the chapel of the south
syde the quere. The said sir Henry marj-d Anne doghter of John Blenerhasset in the
county of Suffolk." (MS. Harl. 897, f. 20 ^, where his issue is also stated.)
P. 294. Cree-church. The duke of Norfolk's town mansion (here wTitten " Chrychyre ")
was near the church called St. Katharine's Cree-church or Christ's church, in the ward of
Aldgate. It has been before mentioned in p. 186.
Ibid. Funeral of mistress Chamley. This paragraph is so imperfect that it is not
certain that it relates to the wife of the Recorder. He, however, was buried at St.
Dunstan's in the West in the following April (sec p. 395), and his epitaph commenced—
" Ranulphus Cholmeley chara hie cum conjuge dormit."
Ibid. Funeral of mistress Leiren. See a former note (p. 344) on this lady's husband.
At "a quarter court (of the Ironmongers* company) 19 Jan. 1562[-3] was brought
into this house 2 salts with a cover, all gilt, weighing Ixv. oz. which Mrs. Agnes Lewen
lately gave at hir deceas to this company." Richard Chamberlain the sheriff, executor
NOTES. 393
and William Draper the overseer, of mistress Lewen's will, were both members of the
same fraternity.
P. 296. Master Eunton that married nnj lady of Warwich. Sir Edward Unton, K.B.
on the 29th April, 1555, married Anne, one of the daughters of the protector Somerset,
and -widow of John Dudley, earl of "Warwick, the eldest son of John duke of Northum-
berland. See the memoirs prefixed to Unton Inventories, 1841, 4to, p, xxxvii.
Ibid. Funeral of Arthur Deiicote esquire. Citizen and draper: see his poetical
epitaph in Robinson's History of Hackney, vol. ii. p. 27, accompanied by some account of
his funeral, derived from the present Diary. See also the MS. Lansdowne 874, f. 123''.
P. 297. Funeral of sir Humphrey Browne. This venerable judge of the common
pleas had been first appointed in the 34 Hen. VIII. 1543, and had continued to sit on the
bench through the reigns of Edward and Mary. Stowe records that he bequeathed
" divers houses" to the parish of St. Martin Orgar's, but describes no other memorial of
him.
Ibid. Funeral of William lord Grey of Wilton, K.G. The circumstancial account of
this ceremonial, dra\v-n up by one of the attendant heralds, is appended to the " Com-
mentarie of the Services" of this nobleman, in the volume edited for the Camden Society
by Sir Philip Grey Egerton, Bart. The church (left blank in p. 298,) was Cheshunt,
CO. Hertford ; the preacher was Michael Reniger ; and in line 17, for " master de[an'sj
plase," read " master De[nny's] plase."
P. 299. Funeral of lady Dormer. Sir Michael Dormer, who had been lord mayor in
1541, died in 1545, directing his body to be buried in the churchyard of St, Lawrence (not
St. Olave's) in the Jurv-, London, where Elizabeth his wife lay ; leaving issue by his wife
Katharine (who was the lady here recorded) several children, whose names will be found
in Collins's Peerage, tit. Dormer.
P. 300. The douhle marriage of lord Talbot to lady Anne Herbert, and lord Herbert to
lady KatJiarine Talbot. Francis lord Talbot died before his futlicr, and without issue,
in 15S2. The marriage here recorded of Lord Herbert, afterwards second carl of Pem-
broke, (who had been previously contracted to the lady Katharine Grey, and whose third
wife was the celebrated Marj-, sister to Sir Philip Sidney,) was also fruitless. On tbo
occasion of Lady Katharine Talbot's marriage, her father inforced the ancient feudal right
of receiving a beuevulence from his tenants as ayde pour fillc marier. See a letter of his
on the subject, dated " From Coldharbar, the xx"* of ^Nlarche, 15G2[-3]," ia Lodge's Illus-
trations of British History, i. 348; followed by an account of the sums collected in the
counties of York, Nottingham, and Derby, which amounted to 32U. 7s. 6d.

P. 301. Exposure of a termagant uife. A custom somewhat similar still existed in
parts of Berkshire towards the end of the last century, and about 1790 one of the mem-
bers of the Camden Society witnessed a procession of villagers on their way to the house
of a neighbouring farmer, in the parish of Ilurst, who was said to have beaten his wife.
The serenaders, consisting of pereons of all ages and denominations, were well supplied
with kettles, tin cans, cover-lids, hand-bells, pokers and tongs, and cows' horns, and,
drawing up in front of the farm, commenced a most horrible din, showing at least that the
ceremony was properly known by the name of " rough viusic.'^ After some time the party
quietly dispersed, apparently quite satisfied with the measure of punishment inflicted by
them on the delincLuent. — For similar practices see Brand, ii. 151, and MS. Sloane 8S6.
P. 302, Sii- William FitzWilliam, who died in the time of king Henry VIII. in the
year 1534, was a mercliant-taylor of London, and alderman of Bread-street ward. He
was the first of his family at Milton, co. Northampton (now the seat of his descendant earl
FitzWilliam), and was buried at Marham in that county : see Bridges's History thereof,
vol. ii. p. 520.
Ibid. Loss of the queen'' s ship the Greyhound. A short account of this event will be
found in Stowe's Chronicle. Sir Thomas Finch had been appointed to succeed sir Adrian
Poynings aa knight marshal of the army in France ; and, having previously sent over his
brother sir Erasmus Finch to have charge of his band, and his kinsman Thomas Finch to
be provost marshal, he at length embarqucd in the Greyhound, " having there aboord with
Lim, besides three score and sixe of his own retinue, foure and forty other gentlemen, two
of them being brethren to the lord Wentworth, to wit, James Wentworth and John Went-
worth, with divers others, who in the whole (accompting the marriners) amounted to the
number of two hundred persons and upward." Having been driven back from New-
haven, they unwisely urged the captain " to thrust into the haven " of Rye "before the
tide," and consequently the lives of all were lost, except four " of the meaner sort."
Ibid. Sir Thoraas Finch was of Eastwell, co. Kent, by marriage with Katharine, elder
daughter and co-heir of Sir Thomas Moylc, chancellor of the court of augmentations ; his
eldest son, sir Movie Finch, was created a baronet in 1611, and was direct ancestor of the
earls of Winchelsea and Nottingham.
P. 303. Funeral of ladj Chester. Katharine, daughter of Christopher Throckmorton
esquire, of Cooi-se Court, co. Glouc. and the first wife of sir Robert Chester, receiver of
the court of augmentations : see before, p. 316, and the pedigree of Chester in Clutter-
buck's Hertfordshire, vol. iii. p. 363.
■ Ibid. Funeral of ladij Lane. Sir Robert Lane was of Horton in Northamptonshire,
being the son of sir Ralph Lane by Maud daughter of William lord Parr of Horton. By
Katharine his first wife, daughter of sir Robert Copley of Bermondsey, (see before, p. 37S)

who is the lady here commemorated, he had three sons, all afterwards knighted, sir Wil-
liam Lane, sir Parr Lane, and sir Robert Lane. Bridges's Northamptonshire, vol. i.
p. 368.
P. 303. Funeral of alderman David Woodroffe. Son of John Woodroffe, of Uscombe,
Devonshire; sheriff 1554. In that capacity he was present at the executions of Bradford
and Rogers the protestant mart\Ts, and John Foxe much abuses his cruel behaviour, con-
trasting it with the mildness of his colleague sir William Chester. " But what happened ?
Hee was not come out of his office the space of a wecke, but he was stricken by the
sudden hand of God, the one halfe of his bodie in such sort, that he lay benumned and
bed-red, not able to move himself, but as he was lifted of other, and so continued in that
infirmity the space of seven or eight years, till his dying day." He gave 20^. towards
the conduit at Bishopsgate. (Stowe's Survay.) His son Stephen died Sept. 25, 1572,
and was buried at St. Andrew Undershaft (Ibid.); and his grandson sir Nicholas Wood-
roffe, who lived at Leadenhall (in that parish), was lord mayor in 1579. -A. pedigree of
the family, which was allied to others of eminence in the city, will be found in the History
of Surrey, by Manning and Bray, vol. iii. pp. 176, 177.
P. 307. Funeral of Ranidiih Cholmlei/ esquire, Recorder of London. He had been
elected Recorder in 1553. See his epitaph in Stowe's Survay, and his armorial insignia
in the Collectanea Topogr. et Geneal. 1S37, vol. iv. p. 102. His place in the pedigree of
ChoLmoudeley will be seen in Ormerod's Cheshire, vol. ii. p. 356.
P. 308. Funeral of sir James Stump. This was the son and heir of a wealthy Wilt-
shire clothier, who made his fortune at Malmesbury, where he set up his looms in the
abbey church and buildings immediately after the Dissolution, as related by Leland in his
Itinerary. See the pedigree of this family, whose inheritance passed to the Knys'etts and
so to the earls of Suffolk and Berkshire, in the Collectanea Topogr. et Genealogica, vol. vii.

received, " Item, of the overseers of the List will of sir James Stumpe knight, for a fyne of
certen black clothe hanged up in our Lady ohappelle the tyme of his burj'all ijs. \jd. ; for
his grave xiijs. iiijc/. ; for the belles iiijs. viijt/."
Ibid. Funeral ins-i<jnia of waster Gi[ffoi-d. For "Northamptonshire" the Diarist
should have written Soutuamptonshire : for this funeral gear was doubtless made for
" John Gyfibrd esquire, heir aj)paront of syr William Gyfford kiiyght," who <lied 1 May,
1563, and was buried at Crondall, Hants. See his epitaph in Collectanea Topograph, et
Genealogica, vol. vii. p. 223.
P. 309. Funeral of lord Pa'jci. The first peer of that family, whose active part as a
statesman is familiar from general hbtory. "This William lord Paget dysseased at his
howsse called Drayton, on wensday the ix''' of June, in the 5. yere of quene Elizabethe,

1563, and was beryed on Thursday the xviij"' of July next enshewinge." (MS. Harl.
897, f. 81.) There is a monument with his effigies in Lichfield Cathedral, an engraving
of which forms PI. XVI. of Shaw's History of Staffordshire.
P. 310. Ringinrj on the que.ai''s removes. The ringing of bells at these times was a
constant observance : see particularly the extracts from the parochial accounts of Lambeth
and St. Margaret's Westminster, published in Nichols's " Illustrations of the Manners
and Expenses of Ancient Times," 1797, 4to. and continual entries throughout the Pro-
gresses of Queen Elizabeth and King James I. On the 20th of April, 1571, the ringers
of Lambeth were paid Is. " for rynging when the queenesmajestie i-ode about St. George's
fields." It might be supposed that Elizabeth was very fond of this noisy salutation ; but the
truth is, that her harbingers enforced their fines, as noticed in the present passage of the
Diary, if the service was omitted. The same usage was customary at an earlier date, as
shown by the following entry from the accounts of St. Margaret's for the years 1548 and
1549, " Also payd to the l<yng's amner, when he would have sealyd up the church doors at the
departure of the kyng's majestic the ij day of July, because the bells were not rung, iJ5. iiijc?."
Ibid. A cross of Hue set at eierij door. These sad badges of the plague seem to have
been made separately, probably painted on canvas. The churchwardens of St. Margaret's
Westminster paid at this time, " Item, to the paynter of Totehill-street for payntinge of
certeyne blewe crosses to be fyxed upon sondrie houses infected, vjfZ."
P. 311. Proclamation. On further consideration the sense of this paragraph seems to
be that Englishmen were to be alloiced privateering against the French : therefore, for the
word "no," read "any" or " every." The proclamation next mentioned (p. 812) would
be one relating to London only, where the French residents w ere to remain unmolested.
P. 312. Taking of Xeirhaven. The 28th of July was the day the town of Havre de
Grace surrendered to the prince of Condc and his English allies. See Stowe's Chronicle
under this date. On this subject see also the preface to the Chronicle of Calais, p. xvii.
Ibid. Proclamation for killing dogs. This was on account of their carrying the
plague from house to house. The churchwardens of St. ilargaret's Westminster paid
this year, " Item, to John Welche for the killinge and carreinge awaye of dogges during
the plague, and for the putting of theym into the ground and covering the same, iij«. ij<?."
The like measure was adopted on the recurrence of the plague in 1603, when, at seven
payments from the 19th June to the 30tli July, the churchwardens of St. Margaret's paid
for the slaughter of no fewer than 327 dogs, at Id. each.
P. 8. Henrg Williams (Note in p. 320). " An epitaph of maister Henrie Williams,
written by Thomas Norton (one of the versifiers of the Psalms), is extracted from The
Songes and Sonnettes of lord Surrey, by Tottel, 1565, in Dr. Bliss's edition of Wood's
AthencB Oxon. i. 186.

NOTES. 397
P. 9. The king -wearing the order of St. Michael. The robes of Saint Michael worn by
king Edward the Sixth were preserved for fifty years after in the royal wardrobe, — Eliza-
beth, who never parted with any of her own gowns, nor with those of her sister that had
come into her possession, retaining these also among her stores. They were thus described
in the year 1600 : '• Robes late king Edwarde the Vlth's. Firste, one robe of clothe of
silver, lyned with white satten, of th'order of St. ^liehale, with a brode border of em-
brodirie, with a wreathe of Venice gold and the scallop shell, and a frenge of the same
golde, and a small border aboute that ; the grounde beinge blew vellat, embrodered with
half-moones of silver; with a whoodo and a tippet of crymsen vellat, with a like em-
broderie, the tippet perished in one place irilh ratts ; and a coate of clothe of silver, with
demi-sleeves, with a frenge of Venice golde." Nichols's Progresses, &c. of Queen Eliz. —
In the Addit. MS. (Brit. I^Ius.) 6297, art. 7 describes " How king Edward VI. received
the order of St. Michael."
P. 27. Funeral of sir Thomas Jermyn. Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 33 Hen.
VIII. 1541. His brave housekeeping and goodly chapel of singing-men were kept at
Rushbrooke hall, near Burj- St. Edmund's, where his family had been seated from a very
early period. He was the lineal ancestor of Henry Jermyn, created lord Jermyn of
Edmundsbury by king Charles I. and earl of St. Alban's by Charles II.
P. 35. Proclamation of queen Jane. In consequence of Grafton having printed this
proclamation, he was declared to have forfeited the office of queen's printer; see the patent
of John Cawoode's appointment in Rymer's Fcedera, vol. xv. p. 350, and Ames's Typo-
graphical Antiquities, by Dibdin, vol. iii. p. 4S2. The proclamation has been reprinted
in the Harleian Miscellany, (Park's edition,) vol. i. p. 405.
P. 37. The royal livery. The passage relating to the princess Elizabeth's entry should
conclude thus, — " all in green guarded with white, velvet, satin, taffety, and cloth, ac-
cording to their qualities." Green and white formed the livery of the Tudors. At the
marriage of Arthur prince of Wales the yeomen of the guard were in large jackets of
damask, white and green, embroidered before and behind with garlands of vine leaves, and
in the middle a red rose. In the great picture at Windsor castle of the embarkation at
Dover in 1520, the Harry Grace a Dieu is surrounded with targets, bearing the various
royal badges, each placed on afield party per pale irhile and green. The painting called king
Arthur's round table at Winchester castle, sujiposed to have been repainted in the reign
of Henry VII. is divided into compartments of ichite and green. The " queenes colours "
arc also alluded to in the following story of a rude jest passed on the new Rood in Saint
Paul's :
" Not long after this (in 1554) a merry fellow came into Pauls, and spied the Rood with
Mary and John new set up ; whereto, among a great sort of people, he made low curtesie,
and said : Sir, your Mastership is welcome to towne. I had thought to have talked
further with your Mastership, but that ye be here clothed in the Queenes colours. I hope
398 DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
ye be but a summer's bird, in that ye be dressed in white and greene." (Foxe, Actes
and Monuments, iii. 114.)
Among the attendants on queen Mary in p. 38, three liveries are mentioned, green and
white, red and white, and blue and green. The men in red and white were the servants
of the lord treasurer (see p. 12, where several other liveries are described^ and the blue
and green would be those of the earl of Arundel or some other principal nobleman. Blue
and white was perhaps king Philip's livery (p. 79).
In p. 59 we find that in 1554 even the naval uniform of England was white and green,
both for officers and mariners. In note ^ in that page for "wearing" read "were in,"
which, without altering the sense, completes the grammar.
The city trained bands were, in 1557, ordered to have white coats welted with green,
with red crosses (see p. 164).
The lady Elizabeth, however, did not give green and white to her own men. From
two other passages (pp. 57, 120) we find her livery was scarlet or fine red, guarded with
black velvet; and from the description of her coronation procession in p. 1S6, it seems that
red or " crimson " was retained for her livery when queen.
P. 41. Master Thomas a Bruges. The person dro^\Tied is called by Stowe " Master
T. Bridges Sonne." He was therefore not a son, but a nephew, of the lieutenant of the
Tower, sir John Brydges. In Foxe's Actes and ^Monuments, bishop Ridley relates a con-
vereation which he had with doctor Feckenham and secretary Bourn, when in the Tower,
which was commenced thus, " Master Thomas of Bridges said, at his brother master lieu-
tenant's boord, I pray you, master doctors, tell me what a heretike is." (Foxe, vol.
iii. p. 42.)
P. 44. Funeral of John lord Dudlci/. This is thus recorded in the register of St.
Margaret's Westminster: "1553, September IS. Sir John Sutton knyght, Lorde Baron
of Dudley." And that of his widow (see p. 61, and Note in p. 33S) occurs under her
maiden name: " 1554, April 2S. The Lady Cysslye Gray." The latter extraordinary
circumstance is probably attributable only to the high rank of the Greys : — she was great-
aunt to the Lady Jane. His son, "The right honorable sir Edwarde Dudley knighte. Baron of
Dudleye, the lord Dudleye," was buried in the same church on the 12th August, 1586; and
his great-grandson, " Sir Fordinando Sutton knight, Baro: Dudley," [but really the son
and heir apparent of Edward then lord Dudley,] Nov. 23, 1621, Also in 1600, Mary
lady Dudley, widow of the former Edward, and sister to Charles lord Howard of Effing.
ham, lord admiral. She died Aug. 21, 1600, and a monument with her recumbent
cffig}', and a kneeling effigy of her second husband Richard IMompesson esquire, now
remains near the soutii-eaat door of the church. See the History of St. Margaret's Church
by the Rev. Mackenzie E. C. Walcott, M.A. 1847, 8vo. p. 19.

this prohibition would apply may be imagined from the many marriages of priests which
occur within a short period in the register of one parish, St. Margaret's Westminster : —
1549. Feb. Tiie fyrste day. M' Docto'' Henry Egylsby, prieste, with Tamasyne Darke.
1551. April. The vj»'' day. M"^ John Keed, priest, with Isbelle Wyldon.
Oct. The vj''' day. Syr William Langborow, prieste, with Helen Olyver.
Dec. The xssj day. Raffe Felde, prieste, with Helen Chesterfyld.
1551. April. The xxiij'" day. Sir William Harvarde, prieste, with Alyce Kemyshe.
Dec. The xxrij day. Sir Frauncis Constantyne, priest, with Alyce Warcoppe.
1552. Jan. The xxiij" day. Sir Marmaduce Pullen, priest, with Margaret Pen.
On the miseries and scandals which ensued on the forced dissolution of these marriages
it is sufficient to refer to the works of Foxe, Strj'pe, &c.
P. 50. Every parish to mal-e an altar, and to have a cross and staff. Among many
expenses incurred on the restoration of the Romish worship at St. Margaret's Westminster
for rebuilding and adorning the altars, erecting a holy-water stock, making church furni-
ture and vestments, and providing sacred utensils, occur the following entries, having
special reference to the order mentioned in the text :
" Item, payde to a paynter for wasshyng owte of the scriptures of the highe altar

" Item, payde for a crosse of copper and gylte, with Mary and John, with a foote of

See this last mentioned in p. 77, but without noticing that it was the feast of Saint
Andrew.
P. 67. Kinff and Queen's style. The letters patent directing the lord chancellor to
issue wTJts announcing the king and queen's style, dated at "Winchester 27 July, 1554,
are printed in Rymer's Fcedera, xv. 404.
Pp. 76, 82, 83. Jiugo de cannas. This sport, which the Spanish cavaliers brought
with them from thou- native country, was long a favourite there. When Lord Beniers
was ambassador in Spain in 1518, " on midsummer daye in the morninge the king, with
xxiij with him, well apparelled in cootes and clokes of gouldc and gouldsniythe work, on
horsback, in the said market-place (at Saragossa),ranne and caste canes after the countreye
maner, whearas the kinge did very well (and was) much praysed ; a fresh sight for once
or twise to behold, and afterward nothing. Assoone as the cane is caste, they flye; wherof
the Frenche ambassador sayd, that it was a good game to teche men to flye. My lord
Barners answered, that the Frenchmen learned it well besides Gingate, at the juruey of
Spurres." (Letter from the ambassador in MS. Cotton. Vesp. C. i. 177.) It continued
in practice when Charles prince of "Wales visited Spain in 1623, and a pamphlet entitled,
"A relation of the Royal Festivities and Juego de Canas, a tumament of darting with
reedes after the manner of Spaine, made by the king of Spaine at Madrid, the 21st of
August this present yeere 1623," is reprinted in Somei-s's Tracts and in Nichols's Pro-
gresses of King James I. vol. iv. — " The Juego de Cannas," remarks Sir Walter Scott,
" was borrowed from the Moors, and is still practised by Eastern nations, under the
name of El Djerid. It is a sort of rehearsal of the encounter of their light horsemen,
armed with darts, as the Tourney represented the charge of the feudal cavaliers with their
lances. In both cases, the differences between sport and reality only consisted in the
weapons being sharp or pointless."
" So had he seen in fair Castile
The youth in glittering squadrons start,
Sudden the flying jennet wheel.
And hurl the unexpected dart."
(Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel.)
P, 79. A Spanish lord buried at Saini MargareVs Westminster. From the records of
that church this is shown to have been "John de Mendoca, knyght." During the time
that the servants of king Philip were about the court at Westminster, several other
Spaniards occur in the same register : their names are here extracted :

There is one Spanish marriage recorded in the register, but without names, merely
thus : " 1555 Nov. the x"" day a Spanyeard," and a similar difficulty was felt in chris-
tenings, as " 155S, Feb. the ix''' day Mariana ispanica," and " March the xxj day Franciscus
jspanicus." In Oct. that year occurs "The xxij'' day, Philippe Ruyz a spaynearde."
P. 90. At the Grocers' feast my lord mayor did choose master Lee shenff for the ling.
The order observed " Upon .Midsummer day, for the election of the Sheriffes of London,
&c." will be found iu Stowc's Survay, under the head of " Temporall Government." On
that day (as still) the slieriffs were elected; but one had been previously " nominated by
the Lord ^laior according to his prerogative." This was done in the way intimated more
than once in these pages, by drinking to him at a feast. A full and curious account of
the mode in which this ceremony was pcrfonued at the Haberdashers' feast in the year
NOTES. 403
1583, is given in a letter of Mr. recorder Fleetwood to lord Burghley, printed in Ellis's
Orig. Letters, 1st Series, ii. 290.
P. 101. The Mazing star which is noticed in this page, and of which Stowe's account
has been quoted in p. 348, was calculated by Ilallcy to have been the same comet which
had before appeared in the year 126i, and which, having completed its presumed revo-
lution of two hundred and ninety-two years, may be expected to appear again in the
present year, 1848. The learned Fabricius described the comet of 1556 as of a size equal
to half that of the moon. Its beams were short and flickering, with a motion like that of
the flame of a conflagration or of a torch waved by the wind. It alarmed the Emperor
Charles the Fifth, who, believing his death at hand, is said to have exclaimed
Mis ergo hidiciis me meafata vacant.
This warning, it is asserted, contributed to the determination which the monarch
formed, and executed a few months later, of resigning the imperial crown to his brother
Ferdinand.
P. 111. Funeral of (Robert) Eeiieage esqvire. Machyn was wrong in the christian
name, giving, as in some other cases, the name of the son to the father. This was Robert
Heneage esquire, auditor of the duchy of Lancaster, and surveyor of the queen's woods
beyond Trent ; and father of sir Thomas Heneage, afterwards chancellor of the duchy of
Lancaster, and a privy councillor to queen Elizabeth. Though Stowe does not mention
his monument at St. Katharine Creechurch, Collins (in Peerage, tit. Finch earl of Win-
chelsea) states that effigies in bra^s of Robert Heneage and his wife, who was r^Iargaret
sister to Thomas earl of Rutland, remained in that church, but the inscription was effaced.
P. 113. Funeral of mistress Soda. This singular name, which our Diarist alters to
" Sawde," and which elsewhere occurs as Soday, was probably Spanish, the lady's hus-
band having been a servant of queen Katharine. John Soda, the son, was apothecary to
queen Mary, to which office he was appointed for life by letters patent dated 4 Jan. 1554,
with a yearly fee of forty marks : see this document in Rymer, vol. xv. p. 359. His new-
year's gift to the queen in 1556 was six boxes of marmalade and cordial. His daughter
was the wife of alderman Greenway (see p. 405).
P. 114. The Queen s return from Croydon, " Item, payde for ijngyng of the belles at
the cumyng of the queenes majestic from Croydyn to AVestminster the xxj''' of SoptemI)er

our Diarist.

P. 123. Funeral of ladi/ Chahner. This appears to have been the first wife of sir
Thomas Chaloner, a distinguished statesman and author, who lived in his latter years " ia
a fair house of his own building in Clcrkenwell close," built on part of the site of the dis-
solved nunnery. (See Biographia Britannica, &c.) Her first husband had been sir
Thomas Leigh, of Iloxton, who died Xov. 25, 1545 ; and his poetical epitaph, formerly at
Shoreditch, is printed in Ellis's History of that parish, p. 54. The lady has not been
mentioned by her second husband's biographers, for sir Thomas afterwards married
EthcLreda, daughter of Edward Frodsham, esq. of F'lton in Cheshire, and she was the
mother of sir Thomas Chaloner the younger, governor to Henry prince of Wales. This is
shown by the epitaph of the latter at Chiswick, which states him to have died in 1615,
aged 51. He was therefore born in 156-1, the year before his father's death. Sir Thomas
Chaloner the elder was bom in 1515, and dying Oct. 14, 1565, was buried in St. Paul's
cathedral. His widow Ethelreda was re-married to Edward Brockett, esq. of Wheat-
hampsted, Herts, second son of sir John Brockett, which Edward lived until 1599. (See
his epitaph in Clutterbuck's Herts, vol. i. p. 523.)
P. 137. Celebration of Ascension day. On this occasion in the preceding year (1556)
the churchwardens of St. Margaret's Westminster made the following payments:

musters took place were obliged to send their quota. Thus the churchwardens of St.
Margaret's Westminster paid '" for setting owt of soldyers the vijt'' day of January as ap-

362) is not recorded in the parish register of Saint Margaret's Westminster, yet the fol-
lowing entries relative to her funeral occur in the churchwardens' accounts :

P. 172. Marriage of alderman John White. This civic senator, whose name has fre-
quently occurred in this volume, was tlie son of Robert White, of Farnham in Surrey.
He was of the Grocers' company, served sheriff in 1556, and lord mayor in 1563.
His first marriage has been mentioned in p. 378, in the note on the funeral of his brother
the bishop of Winchester. The imperfect passage in p. 172 relates to his second marriage
with the widow of alderman Ral[ih Greonway. She was Katharine, daughter of John
Sodaye of London, apothecary to Queen Mary (see p. 403), and was again married to
Jasper Allen, and buried at St. Dunstan's in the East, Oct. 9, 1576. In her will, dated
the same year, she mentions her brother Richard Sodaye. Sir John White was buried at
Aldershot in Hampshire in 1573 : see his epitaph, with some extracts from his will, in the
Collectanea Topogr. et Genealogica, vol. vii. p. 212. See also his funeral atchievements
engraved at the conclusion of the Introduction to the present Volume.
P, 185. Funeral of mistress Matson. Anne, daughter and heir of Richard Sackville,
of Chepsted, Surrey, married first to Henry Shelley, of Worminghurst, Sussex, esquire,
and had issue; and secondly to Thomas Matson, gent. (Visit. Sussex.) His funeral occurs
in p. 208.
P. 206. The Queen's grace stood at her standing in the further park. " Shooting at
deer with a cross-bow (remarks Mr. Hunter in his New Illustrations of Shakespeare) waa
a favourite amusement of ladies of rank; and buildings with flat roofs, called stands or
standings, were erected in many parks, as in that of Sheffield, and in that of Pilkington
near Manchester, expressly for the purpose of this diversion." They seem to have been
usually concealed by bushes or trees, so that the deer would not perceive their enemy. In
Sliakspere's Love-Labours Lost, at the commencement of the fourth Act, the Princess
repairs to a Stand —
Then, Forester my friend, where is the bush
That we must stand and play the murtherer in ?
Forester. Here-by, upon the edge of yonder coppice,
A Stand where you may make the fairest shoot.
Mr. Hunter further remarks that they were often made ornamental, as may be con-
cluded from the following passage in Goldingham's poem called "The Garden Plot,"
where, speaking of a bower, he compares it with one of these stands —
To term it Heaven I think were little sin,
Or Paradise, for so it did appear ;
So far it passed the bowers that men do banquet in,
Or standing made to shoot at state/)/ deer.
P. 216. One West, a new doctor. Probably this " railer " at roudlofts was the perscm

commemorated in the following epitaph, who was not actually a doctor : " Here lyeth
buried Mr. Reginald West, batchelor in divinity, and late parson of this parish, who
deceased the second of October anno Domini 15G3, for whose sincere, pure, and godly
doctrine, as also his virtuous end, the Lord be praised for evermore." Under the Com-
munion table at St. Margaret Pattens. Stowe.
Pp. 218, 228. Sermons l>j bisho2} Jewell. In the edition of bishop Jewell's Works
now in the course of publication by the Parker Society, the editor, the Rev. John Ayre,
M.A. remarks that the challenge which originated the bishop's important controversy
with Dr. Cole was first given in his sermon at Paul's Cross, Nov. 26, 1559 — the occasion
noticed by Machyn in p. 21S. " The sermon, with the challenge amplified, was preached
at the court, March 17, 15G0 [as mentioned in p. 228]; and repeated at Paul's Cross
March 31, being the second Sunday before Easter." This last date is from the contem-
porary title-page of the sermon itself: and therefore is not to be doubted. Our Diarist,
however (p. 229) says that Crowley preached at Paul's Cross on that day.
P. 236. Funeral of nu'dress Grafton, — " the wife of master Grafton the chief master of
the hospital, and of Bridewell." This was Richard Grafton the printer, who is known
from his books to have resided at Christ's hospital, and from this passage it seems to have
been in an ofiicial capacity. There are other items in the present volume which may be
added to what Dr. Dibdin terms " the comparatively full account " of Grafton, in his
edition of the Typographical Antiquities, vol. iii. He was evidently a man active in
public business. Pie occurs twice as warden of the Grocers' company (pp. 90, lOS), as a
master of Bridewell (pp. 205), and as an overseer for the repairs of Saint Paul's cathedral
(p. 262). He was also elected to Parliament for the city of London in looi and 1556,
and in 1562 for Coventry.
P. 287. The SHnners attend the Merchant-tailors'' feast. In the 1st Rich. III. a dis-
pute for precedency between the Skinners and ^Merchant-taylors was determined by a^-ree-
ment that either should take precedence in alternate years, and that the master and
wardens of each should dine with the other company on their respective feasts of Corpus
Christi and the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. See the ordinance effecting this arran-^e-
ment in Herbert's Twelve City Companies, vol. ii. p. 319; and see remarks by the present
^Titer in Archseologia, vol. xxx. p. 500.
P. 292. Saint Anthonn's school. This notice of Saint Anthony's school, so flourishing
in 1562 as to have a hundred scholars, is remarkable, inasmuch as it seems to have shared
the fate of the religious foundations. Stowe says in his Survay, " This schoole was com-
mended in the reign of Henry the sixth, and sithense commended above others, but now
decayed, and come to nothing by talking that from it which thereunto belonged," and he
ascribes its " spoile " to one Johnson, the schoolmaster, who was " made prebend of
Windsor." (Edmund Johnson, installed canon of Windsor 1560. Le Neve.)

NOTES. 407
- P. 22. Funeral of mistress Co7rper, wife of the sJieriff of London. John Cowper, fish-
monger, sheriff 1552, buried at St. Magnus. Arms, Azure, a saltire engrailed between
four trefoils slipped or, on a chief of the second three dolphins embowed of the first. (List
by Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.) "John Cooper, fishmonger, alderman, who was put by
his turne of maioralty, [died] 1584." (Stowe.)
Ibid. Funeral of mistress Basilia Coirper, late voife of master Eimtley haberdasher, and
after wife of master Toidlys, alderman and sheriff. This lady's first husband, Thomas
Huntley, haberdasher, was sheriff 1540. His arms. Argent, on a chevron between three
buck's heads erased sable three hunting-horns of the first. Her second husband was
John Towles, sheriff 1554; buried at St. Michael's in Cornhill 1548. Arms, Party per
pale and chevron ermine and sable, four cinquefoils countercbanged. (List by Wm.
Smith, Rouge-dragon.) Stowe in his Survay calls him To'.vs, and relates a storj- of a
bequest he made to St. Michael's parish, which was "not performed but concealed."
The name, it may be remarked, was derived from one of the churches dedicated to St.
Olave; John atte Olave's would become John Toolys, and from the same abbreviation we
have still Tooley Street in Southwark. The lady's third husband was probably John
Cowper who occurs in the list of freemen of the mystery of the Fyshemongers in 1537
(Herbert's Twelve City Companies, ii. 7,) and who may have been father of the alderman
mentioned in the preceding note.
P. 58. Funeral of lady Ascough. Sir Christopher Ascough, draper, who was the son
of John Ascough of Edmonton in ]Middlese.x, had been sheriff in 1525-6, lord niavor
1533-4, and was buried at St. John the Evangelist's in Watliug-street. Arms, Gules, on a
fcsse argent, between three ass's heads couped or, as many estoiles azure. (List bv Wni.
Smith, Rouge-dragon.)
P. 76. Funeral of sir Hugh Rich, K.B. Having married Anne, daughter and sole
heir of sir John "Wentworth, of Gosfield in Essex, his body was buried in that church.
His widow married secondly Henry lord Maltravers, only son of the earl of Arundel ; he
died at Brussels, June 30, 1556. She married thirdly "William Deane esquire, her
servant, nephew to Alexander Nowell, dean of Saint Paul's. Having had no issue she
died Dec. 5, 1580, and was buried with her first husband at Gosfield.
P. 90. Master Lee chosen sheriff. Son of Roger Leigh of "Wellington in Shropshire,
and apprentice of sir Rowland Hill, whose niece, Alice Barker, he married. He became
" Sir Thomas Leigh, maior, the first yeare of Q. Elizabeth, 1559. He dwelled in the Old
Jury, his house joyning on the north of Mercers Chapell, where he was buried. Arms,
Gules, on a cross engrailed argent between four unicorn's heads erased or, five hurts each
charged with an ermine spot. His sonnes have since altred the armes to. Gules, a cross
engrailed and in dexter chief a lozenge argent." (List by Wm. Smith, Rouge-dragon.)
Sir Thomas Leigh died Nov. 17, 1571. His epitaph at the Mercers' Chapel will be found
in Stowe's Survay and in Dugdale's Baronage, vol. ii. p. 464. By his second son AVilliam
40S DIARY OF A RESIDENT IN LONDON.
he was ancestor of the Lords Leigh of Stoneleigh, and by his 'third son William, grand-
father of Francis Leigh, earl of Chichester.
P. 218. Captain Grimston arraigned for the loss of Calais. This was sir Edward
Griniston, who had been api.ointed comptroller of Calais, Aug. 2S, 1552 (King Edward's
Diarj-.) See the pedigree of Grimston in Clutterbuck's Hertfordshire, i, 95.
P. 241. This year (1560) irere all the Roodlofts talen down inLondon. Those parishes
which had been backward in removing this relic of idolatry were now compelled to do so by
authority. " ilemorandum. At a vestry bolden the 27th day of December in Anno
1560, there was showed unto the parishioners a letter sent from the lord of Canterbury's
grace, directed to master alderman Draper, sheriff of London, and to the churchwardens
with the rest of the parish, concerning the translating and pulling down of the rood-loft;
whereupon it was agreed by the whole vestry, that the rood-loft should be taken down and
translated by the discretion of the churchwardens. In witness whereof we the said
parbhioners have set-to our names the day and year above written." (Account of the
church of St Dunstan's in the East, by the Rev. T. B. Murray.)
So at St. Margaret's, Westminster, where the Rood itself had been removed in 1559
(see p. 399,) the Roodloft was left to the following year. It had been built at great
expense in 1519, and its " new reforming" was also a considerable charge to the pa-
rishioners : —
" Item, paide to joyners and labowTers abowt the takyng downe and new reformyng of
the Roode-loft, as by a particuler booke therof mad dothe and may appeare, xxxvij^t. xs. ijcf.

amice, grey 14 5, 17 1,2 5 8. Thiswas a term
applied to canons, as tlie "grey amices
of Paul's " (see note in p. 365), from
the tippets of fur which they wore.
Mr. Way has remarked (Promptorium,
p. 11,) that the amice for a canon,
which was made of fur, was a vestment
perfectly distinct from the more ancient
ecclesiastical vestment of the same
name, which was of linen. It is
twice introduced in Skelton's poems
(edit, by Dyce, i. 6S, ii. Si); in the
former instance the birds are represented
as performing a dirige for the soul of
Phyllyp Sparowe,
They shall morne soft and styll
In theyr amysse of gray.
A Londoner in 1546 writes of the canons
as " gay gray amesses," (Ellis, Orig.
Letters, II. ii. 177,) so much did their
appearance distinguish tlicm from others.
The term was also given to the fur
itself. " The lord maior, and those
knights that have bonie tlie office of
the maioralty, ought to have tlieir
cloakes furred with (/ra>/ orni's. And
those aldermen that have not been
maiors, are to have their cloakes furred

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL
OF
THE CAMDEN SOCIETY,
ELECTED 3rd MAY, 1847.
The Council of the Camden Society, elected on the 3rd of May,
1847, have great pleasure in announcing to the Society that the
investment standing in the name of the Trustees of the Societv
has, during the past year, been increased from £8/7 10^. 9d. to
£900 14^. 9d. Three per cent. Consols. Like every similar institution, the
Camden Society has suffered some diminution in its ranks, from the
operation of public causes to which it is unnecessary to advert more
particularly ; but the number of members is still amply sufficient to main-
tain the Society in its course of usefulness, and to prove the wide interest
still felt in the objects for which the Society was instituted.
The Council have added the following gentlemen to the List of Local
Secretaries : —
The Rev. J. E. Leefe, for Bishop Wearmouth;
William Travis, Esq., M.D., for Scarborough;
The Rev. J. W. Blakesley, ^LA., for Ware ; and
Richard Lewis Reece, Esq., for Cardiff, in the place of Richard
Reece, Esq., F.S.A., who retires j
and again beg to impress upon the Members resident in the country and
possessed of local influence, what important service they may render to the
Society by taking upon themselves the office of Local Secretaries, by
brinsinEr its works under the immediate notice of friends who take an
interest in the early literature and history of the country ; or by dis-
seminating through the usual provincial channels of information notices of
4 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1848.
the Books as they are published, and announcements of such as are forth-
coming. The first success of the Camden Society may, in some measure,
be attributed to the influence of such voluntary exertions on its behalf,
and its continued prosperity cannot fail to be ensured by similar exertions.
The Council have to regret the deaths, during the past year, of —
The Right Hon. Sir John Bernard Bosanquet, Knt., F.S.A.
His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury.
Right Hon. the Countess Cornwallis.
Samuel Duckworth. Esq., M.A., Master in Chancery.
Baldwin Fclford, Esq.
John Black Gracie, Esq., F.S.A. Sc.
Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby, F.S.A.
Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick, K.H., F.S.A.
Right Hon. the Earl of Powis, K.G.
Francis Riddell Reynolds, Esq.
J. W, South gate, Esq.
George Stokes, Esq.
Daniel Wakefield, Esq., Q.C.
W. Archibald Armstrong White, Esq., F.R.S., F.S.A.
The Council have, during the past year, added the following works to
the List of suggested Publications :
The Day-Book of John Dome, a foreign bookseller residing in England in the
year 1520, from a :\IS. in the Library of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. To be
edited by the Venerable Hexky Cotton, D.C.L., Archdeacon of Cashel, and tlie
Rev. John Wilson, B.D., Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford.
Annales Cambrise, an Early Chronicle of Wales, preserved among the Exchequer
Records, To be edited by Sir Henry Ellis, from a transcript made by the late
Mr. Petrie, and kindly placed at the disposal of the Camden Society by the Right
Honourable Lord Langdale, Her Majesty's Keeper of Records.
The Request and Suite of a True-harted Englysheman wishing the welfare of his
Native Contrey. From a MS. in the Library of Advocates, Edinburgh. To be
edited by William J. Tho.ms, Esq., F.S.A., Lond. and Sc.
Inedited Letters of Queen Elizabeth, addressed to King James VL of Scotland,
between the years 1581 and L594. From the originals, in the possession of the
Rev. Edward Ryder, of Oaksey, Wilts. To be edited by John Bruce, Esq., F.S.A.
It is to be remarked, that the materials for the last mentioned work, as
also for the lately delivered Diary of Walter Yonge, Esq., are in the
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1848. 5
possession of a private gentleman. The Council have always felt it
their especial duty not only to afford every facility for the printing his-
torical documents deserving of publication found in private hands, and
thereby render them available for general use, but to search out the pos-
sessors of such documents, and solicit them to permit their publication ;
and the Council, having reason to believe that such papers are scattered
very widely throughout the country, and that they occasionally exist in
the hands of persons who arc neither aware of their importance nor
of the means provided for making them available for historical purposes,
during the past year issued a copy of their prospectus to every literarv
and scientific institution of the kingdom, requesting from the respective
secretaries information as to the existence of any unpublished materials
for the civil, ecclesiastical, or literary history of the United Kino-dom
which might be in the possession of any persons connected with such in-
stitutions.
The books issued during the past year have been
The Camden Miscellany, Vol. I.: containing, 1. The Register and Chronicle of
the Abbey of Aberconway ; 2. «A Chronicle of the Lincolnshire Rebellion, in the
year 1470 ; 3. The Papal Ball for tlie marriage of King Henry VII.; 4. A Journal

Hereford ; 5. Letter of George Fleetwood, describing the Battle of Lutzen and the
Death of Gustavus Adolphus, in 1632; 6. The Diary of Dr. Edward Lake, Chap-
lain and Tutor to the Princesses Mary and Anne, in 1677-78;
which belongs to the Subscription of the preceding year.

The Council have further to Report to the Society that they have re-
cently taken a step calculated, as they hope, to promote in a very higli
degree the welfare of English Historical Literature. Circumstances
6 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1848.
having brought under their notice in a very striking manner the difficukies
thrown in the way of gentlemen engaged in editing books for this Society,
and indeed of ail literary inquirers, by the peculiar constitution of the
Prerogative Office, Doctors' Commons, under which the use of the ancient
wills is precluded, except under embarrassing restrictions and upon pay-
ment of heavy fees, the Council unanimously agreed to address to His
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury the following Memorial :—
To the Most Rev. and the Right Hon. The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury.
The humble Memorial of the President and Council of the Camden Society,
Respectfully sheweth,
That the Camden Society was instituted in the year 1838, for the publication of
early historical and literary remains.
It has the honour to be patronized by H. R. H. the Prince Albert ; and was
supported, from its institution, by the countenance and subscription of your Grace's
predecessor in the See of Canterbury.
The Society has published forty volumes of works relating to English History,
and continues to be actively engaged in researches connected with the same impor-
tant branch of literature.
In the course of its proceedings, the Society has had brought under its notice the
manner in which the regulations of the Prerogative Office in Doctors' Commons
interfere with the accuracy and completeness of works in the preparation of which
the Council is now engaged, and with the pursuits and labours of all other historical
inquirers ; and they beg leave respectfully to submit to your Grace the results of
certain investigations which they have made upon the subject.
Besides the original wills deposited in the Office of the Prerogative Court, there
is kept in the same repository a long series of register books, containing copies of
wills entered chronologically from A.D. 1383 to the present time. These ren-istcrs
or books of entry fall practically into two different divisions or classes. The earlier
and the latter books contain information suited to the wants of totally diflerent kinds
of persons, and applicable to entirely diflerent purposes. Their custody is also of
very different importance to the office. The class which is first both of number of
books and in importance contains entries of modern wills. These are daily con-
sulted by relatives of testators, by claimants and solicitors, principally for legal pur-
poses, and yield a large revenue to the office in fees paid for searches, inspections,
and copies. The second class, which comprises a comparatively small number of
volumes, contains entries of ancient wills, dated before the period during which wills
are now useful for legal purposes. These are never consulted by lawyers or claim-
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1848. 7
ants, nor do they yield any revenue to the office, save an occasional small receipt
frona the Camden Society, or from some similar body, or private literary inquirer.
With respect to the original wills, and the entries of modern wills, your memori-
alists beg to express clearly that this apphcation is not designed to have any refer-
ence to them. Your memorialists confine their remarks exclusively to the books of
entries of those ancient wills which have long and unquestionably ceased to be useful
for legal purposes.
These entries of ancient wills are of the very highest importance to historical in-
quirers. They abound with illustrations of manners and customs ; they exhibit in
the most authentic way the state of religion, the condition of the various classes of
the people, and of society in general ; they are invaluable to the lexicographer, the
genealogist, the topographer, the biographer, — to historical writers of every order
and kind. They constitute the most important depository in existence of exact in-
formation relating to events and persons of the period to which they relate.
But all this information is unavailable in consequence of the regulations of the
office in which the wills are kept. All the books of entry, both of ancient and
modern wills, are kept together, and can only be consulted in the same department
of the same office, in the same manner and subject to precisely the same restrictions
and the same payments. No distinction is made between the fees to be paid by a
literary person who ^"ishes to make a few notes from wills, perhaps three or four
hundred years old, in order to rectify a fact, a name, a date, or to establish the proper
place of a descent in a pedigree, or the exact meaning of a doubtful word, and the
fees to be paid by the person who wants a copy of a will proved yesterday as evi-
dence of a right to property perhaps to be established in a court of justice. No
extract is allowed to be made, not even of a word or a date, except the names of the
executors and the date of the will. Printed statements in historical books, which
refer to wills, may not be compared with the wills as entered ; even ancient copies of
wills handed down for many generations in the families of the testators, may not be
examined with the registered wills without paying the office for making new and
entire copies.
No such restrictions exclude literary inquirers from the British Museum, where
there are papers cquallv valuable. The public Record offices are all open, either
gratuitously or upon payment of easy fees. The Secretary of State for the Home
Department grants permission of access to Her Majesty's State Paper Office. Your
Grace's predecessor gave the Camden Society free access to the registers of wills at
Lambeth — documents exactly similar to those at Doctors' Commons. The Prero-
gative Office is, probably, the only public office in the kingdom which is shut against
literary inquirers.
The results of such regulations are obvious. The ancient wills at Doctors' Com-
mons not being accessible to those to whom alone they are useful, yield scarcely any
8 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, I84S.
fees to the office ; historical inquirers are discouraged ; errors remain uncorrected ;
statements of facts in historical works are obliged to be left uncertain and incomplete ;
the researches of the Camden Society and other similar societies are thwarted ; and
all historical inquirers regard the condition of the Prerogative Office as a great
literary grievance.
The President and Council of the Camden Society respectfully submit these cir-
cumstances to your Grace with a full persuasion that nothing which relates to the
welfare of English historical literature can be uninteresting either to your Grace
personally, or to the Church over which you preside; and they humbly pray your Grace
that such changes may be made in the regulations of the Prerogative Office as may
assimilate its practice to that of the Public Record Office, so far as regards the in-
spection of the books of entry of ancient wills, or that such other remedy may be
applied to the inconveniences now stated as to your Grace may seem fit.

Time for a reply has not yet elapsed: but the Council sincerely trust that
on the next recurrence of the annual meeting they sliall be able to report,
that the memorial has been successful in procuring such a modi6cation of
the regulations of the Prerogative Office as will assimilate its practice to
that of the public Record departments of the government ; and by per-
mitting the literary student to inspect, collate, and if necessary trans-
cribe, the documents there deposited, further that which is the great object
of the Camden Society, the dissemination of Historical Truth.

And wcj the Auditors, further state, that the Treasurer has reported
to us, that, over and above the present balance of £l85 IS^. Sd. there are
outstanding various subscriptions of Foreign Members, of Members
resident in places distant from London, and of Members recently elected,
which the Treasurer sees no reason to doubt will shortly be received.

Geo. Godwin, Jun. Robt. Lemon.
As a postscript to this Report the Auditors take leave to refer to an
arrangement, recently made by the Society of Antiquaries, which pro-
vides that one of the Auditors acting in the current year shall be re- ap-
pointed for the ensuing year ; and, considering this a salutary provision,
they venture to recommend its adoption by the Council of the Camden
Society.
