EEPOETS OF PROCEEDINGS
AT
GENERAL MEETINGS OF THE SOCIETY, FEOM THE
TEAE 1856 TO THE YEAR 1863.
CROYDON.
The Third Annual Genekal ^eetino was held at Croydon, on
Thursday, the 12th of June, 1856. The proceedings took place in a
building once forming part of the ancient palace of the Archbishops of
Canterbury, but now used as a girls' industnal school.
Shortly after eleven o'clock, Sir William G, Hylton Jolliffe, Bart.,
M.P., a Vice-President of the Society, was called to the Chair.
After a few introductory remarks from the Chaibman, the Hon.
Secretary, G. Bish Webb, Esq., proceeded to read the Minutes of the
second Annual General Meeting at Guildford, June 28th, 1855, and of
the Special General Meeting at South wark, October 30th, 1855, which
were both duly confirmed.
The following Kepobt of the Council was then read : —
In accordance with the rules, the Council have the pleasure of pre-
senting a brief statement of the proceedings of the Society during the
past year.
Two General Meetings have been held, one at Guildford, the other in
Southwark. Ample reports of these Meetings being comprised in the
first part of the Transactions which has just been issued, it becomes
unnecessary to refer to them more particularly upon the present occasion.
It is with great regret that the Council have to record the loss
sustained by the Society by the decease of His Grace the late Duke of
Norfolk, one of its earliest patrons, and president of the Society from its
formation.
By the lamented decease, also, of Sir William Molesworth, member
for Southwark, the Society has sustained the loss of one of its distin-
guished vice-presidents.
The Council have the high gratification of announcing that His
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has been pleased to honour the
Society by becoming its Patron.
Thirty-one Members have been added to our list since the date of the
last Report, and the numbers are at present 430, of whom 58 are Life
Members by composition.
During the year, the London and Middlesex Archssological Society
and the Cambrian Institute have been added to the list of Societies in
union with this Society.
Several contributions of interest and value have been made to our
X REPOBTS OF PROCEEDINGS.
Library and Museum, copious lists of which are given in the Trans-
actions.
The Council regret that it becomes their duty again to invite serious
attention to the large amount of subscriptions in arrear. They must
beg Members to bear in mind, that one of the most important of our
rules is that which provides that subscriptions become due in advcmce,
on the 1st of January in each year, and that if this rule be neglected
to the extent hitherto prevailing, the prosperity of the Society will be
greatly endangered.
On the motion of the Chairman, the Report was adopted. The
Balance-sheet and Report of the Auditors were also read. They were
as follows [see pp. xi. xii.]
Eight Members of the Council, whose retirement by rotation was
announced, were unanimously re-elected.
Several new Members were elected, and the Office-bearers for the
ensuing year appointed.
The following Papers were then read : —
1. An Architectural Notice of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity,
Croydon, founded by John Whitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury.
In the absence of the author, W. Petit Griffith, Esq., F.S.A.,
r.R.I.B.A., this Paper was read by the Rev. C. Boutell, M.A.,
Hon. Member.
2. On the Monuments in Croydon Church. This Paper was read by
M. H. Bloxam, Esq., the author, Edward Westall, Esq., being
unavoidably absent.
3. On the Derivation and Meaning of the word Cold-harbour, as
applied to various Localities in Surrey, and elsewhere. By Cuth-
bert W. Johnson, Esq., F.R.S.
4. On the Antiquities of Streatham. By the Rev. Walter Field, M. A.,
F.S.A.
5. On the Monumental Brasses of Surrey, especially those in the
vicinity of Croydon. By the Rev. C. Boutell, M.A. This Paper
was illustrated by a number of rubbings from brasses in the
Churches of Croydon^ Beddington, Lingfield, and Crowhurst, which
were suspended on the walls of the schoolroom.
6. John Wickham Flower, Esq., then laid before the Meeting an
Account of a valuable parcel of ancient deeds and documents, very
lately discovered by him in the Muniment-room of Whitgift's
Hospital. Among the collection was the " Barker Deed," which
was exhibited to the Meeting, and has since appeared in litho-
graphic fac-simile in Part I. of the second volume of the Society's
Transactions.
Votes of thanks were unanimously passed to the Authors of the
above-named Papers.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman, for his courteous and able conduct
in the Chair, was carried by acclamation.
The Chairman returned thanks, and the Meeting was formally
adjourned.

XU BEPORTS OF PROCEEDINGa
Report of tfie Auditors, 1856.
The Auditors ha^e examined the Accounts, and find a balance of
£106. 13s. lie?, in favour of the Society. They have to express a regret
that the large sum of £45. lOs, remains unpaid for the years 1854
and 1855 ; and they would suggest to the Council and Members the
desirableness of adopting some plan for the obtaining these subscriptions,
and for the retirement of such Members as continue two years, or beyond
a certain period, in arrear. (Signed) T. J. S.
E. R.

The two local Secretaries, Messrs. W. S. Masterman and S. Lee
Rymer, together with the late lamented Hon. Secretary G. Bish Webb,
Esq., obtained their fair share of congratulation on the satisfactory result
of the Meeting.
LAMBETH.
A General Meeting was held on Friday, October 31st, 1856, at
Lambeth Palace. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury had kindly
granted the use of the Dining-hall, or Guard Chamber, for the purpose
of the Meeting.
The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Winchester, D.D.,
F.RS., a Vice-President, took the Chair at noon.
The Chattman opened the proceedings with a short address, in the
course of which His Lordship said as follows : —
'' The place in which we are assembled ought to suggest many most
interesting observations, — observations, at least, full of importance, full
of usefulness, full of instruction, I may add, to those who look back upon
history, not as an old almanack, but as a school from which at the
present day we may derive advantages, by looking at the lights which
Xiv BEPOBTS OP PROCEEDINGS.
have gone before us, and profit by them as a warning for the fature.
I need not tell you how many, how varioas, and how solemn are the
associations connected with the house in which we are this day assembled
by the kind permission of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Had you visited these precincts some few years ago, you might have
found that which, indeed, was not well suited to the wants of modern
times, but which would have presented to you the very rooms, the very
walls, which were haUowed, so to speak, by the predecessors of the
present archbishop, — the Juxons and Whitgifts, and Parkers and
Chicheleys, and a long list of worthies, whose names wUl ever be asso-
ciated with the place in which they lived and laboured, and showed their
love to Gk)d and man.
'* The present palace owes a great portion of its existence to the muni-
ficence of the late Archbishop Rowley, — a name never to be mentioned
without veneration and love, and, least of all, by one who had the
privilege of knowing him long, and who had opportunities of seeing how
earnestly he watched over the interests of that Church of which he was
the spiritual head on earth, as he was also one of its greatest ornaments.
The room in which we are assembled, in its size and form, is the one
which previously existed ; but it has been greatly altered, and made
suitable for the accommodation of an audience like the present. You
will be conducted over some parts of the building, which retain the
vestiges of their ancient form, and you will judge how much interest
attaches to it, although little suited for modern use. I must be per-
mitted to say one word in reference to the subject of archaeology, because
I believe some observations which I have heard regarding it are founded
in mistake. There are those who look upon archseologians or archseo-
logists — for I believe both names are correct — as simple individuals,
whose pleasure it is to pore over musty records. Now, even if the
studies of the archseologists were only connected with parchments, I need
not tell you there is much of interest to be derived from them. Indeed,
we have before us, on the agenda of the day, a Paper the interest of which
is wholly derived from parchments and deeds. But, in fact, the archse-
ologist ranges over a vast extent of territory. I look on the individual
who examines the ruins of Pompeii as a very legitimate archseologian. I
look upon the individual who traces the remnants of what was once the
magnificent Castle of Kenil worth, and the marks of Queen Elizabeth's
pageantry, as a true archseologian, in the truest and best sense of the
word. Even if you go to literature, you will find Bishop Percy,
showing, by his Relics of Ancient Poetry, how much there was of the
truest genius in what some considered musty and ancient documents.
He is one whom we should be glad to bring under the title of a true
archseologian. I mention these as examples on which we may be dis-
posed to defend the science of archaeology. It is not merely a Lemon
or a Palgrave who may be called archseologists ; we claim all who have
a liking for ancient records and ancient buildings, or for age in any form.
I was almost going to put in a word in favour of old men ; but I think
we may venerate antiquity in material substances, if not in the human
form. This is not the day when the hoary head is always looked upon
BEPORTS OF PBOGEEDIKOS. XV
BB a crown of glory. But it maj not be oat of place for one who
occupies a responsible position in this diocese to state, that it is my
earnest prayer that each one whom I have the pleasure of addressing
may in their day have that which I believe to be a true glory — the
hoary head which covers the heart imbued with love to God and love to
man."
The Hon. Secretary read the Minutes of the Third Annual General
Meeting, held at Croydon, on the 12th June, 1856, which were con-
firmed. Several new Members were elected.
The Hon. Secretary announced the following donations : —
From Mrs. Howley : A Series of Engravings privately printed for the
late Archbishop Howley, comprising plans and elevations of

Society had had the misfortune to lose its President, the Duke of Norfolk.
The Council had put themselves in communication with the Duke of
Buccleuch, who had signified his willingness to accept the Presidency
of the Society.

2. On the Title of the Palace and Manor of Lambeth. By William
Henry Black, Esq., Hon. Member.
3. Some passages in the Life of Archbishop Laud. By John Wickham
Flower, Esq.

Company inspected, under Mr. Boutell's guidance, the Chapel, Library,
Picture Galleries^ the Lollard's Tower, and other portions of the building.

held — the first at Croydon in June, and the second, by the kind per-
mission of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, in Lambeth Palace.
At these meetings twelve Papers of considerable interest and of varied
character were read. The information contained in these communications
will afford most valuable matter for future volumes of the Transactions.
At both meetings the attendance of members and of visitors was very
numerous ; but it may be remarked, in a more especial degree at
Lambeth Palace, where, notwithstanding very unfavourable weather,
upwards of four hundred persons assembled.
It is with much regret that the Council have to refer to the serious
losses by death that the Society has sustained during the past year.
Within that period it has been deprived of four vice-presidents — the
Earl Amherst, the Earl of EUesmere, Viscount Downe, and Mr. Ga-
desden, late High Sheriff of the county ; while the decease of the late
Mr. George Gwilt, F.S.A., has deprived the Council of a member of
their own body. From the list of Honorary Members also, two distin-
guished names have been removed by the lamented decease of the
veteran topographer Mr. John Britton, and of that learned archseologist,
Mr. John Mitchell Kemble.
It is to be regretted that a considerable number of Members have
retired from the Society; nevertheless, this loss is more than counter-
balanced by the large accession of new Members ; for, while the number
Pit the date of the last Beport, in 1856, was 430, it is now 450, of whom
70 are Life Members.
Numerous contributions to both the Museum and to the Library of
flie Society have been received, and will be duly chronicled in the
Tiansactions.
To the list of Institutions in union with the Surrey Archssological
Society, three have this year been added, — the Society of Antiquaries of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the Exeter Diocesan Architectural Society, and
the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire.
The Council greatly regret that unforeseen interruptions in the

progress of printing and illustrating the second part of the Transactions
have retarded its publication until after the Annual General Meeting ;
they trust, however, in a very brief period to place it in the hands of
Members, when they have no doubt the care taken in its production
will be found to compensate, in some measure, for the delay in passing
it through the press.

6, SotUhampton Street, Covent Qo/tdm,
18«A June, 1857.
The Honorary Secretary then read the following Balance-sheet [see

The following Report from the Auditors was next read : —

j£250 invested, and a balance in hand of ^156. Wa, 7d,, exclusive of

series of archaeological maps of the county of Surrey, and describing the
method of attaining that object by the combined action of the Members

mittee appointed to prepare the portion of the maps comprised in each
of such districts.

XX REPORTS OP PROCEEDINGS.
Mr. Maybank suggested that it would be desirable to adopt one of
tbe county newspapers as a medium for questions and answers relating
to the arcbfiBology of the county.
After a brief discussion, tbe matter was referred to tbe Council.
The proceedings terminated by a vote of thanks to the Chairman, not
only for his conduct in the Chair, but also for the interest which he had
shown in the Society, by receiving the Members with great hospitality at
his seat.
This vote was suitably acknowledged, and the Meeting was adjourned ;
some of the Members and their friends availing themselves of the oppor-
tunity so liberally accorded them, of inspecting the numerous treasures
of art collected at the Deepdene, and of exploring the beautiful pleasure-
ground there ; while others joined in an excursion to Wotton Park,
where they were most kindly received by the owner, W. J. Evelyn, Esq.,
a Yice-Fresident, and conducted over the house and grounds, so in-
teresting from their connection with the honoured name of "Sylva"

the Saint Olave's Grammar School, Queen Elizabeth Street, Southwark.
The Chair was taken by William Pritchard, Esq., High Bailiff of
Southwark, Vice-President.
The Chairman having briefly addressed the Meeting, the following
Papers were read : —
1. An Architectural Notice of the Nave of St. Saviour's Church,

The proceedings then terminated.
FARNHAM CASTLE.
The Fifth Annual General Meeting of the Society was held, by the
kind permission of the Lord Bishop of Winchester, at Farnham Castle,
on Tuesday, July 13th, 1858.
On the way from the railway-station to the Castle, a large number of
the Members and their friends stopped to examine the interesting parish
church of Farnham, of which a descriptive sketch was read by the Rev.
J. S. Utterton, the Vicar.
The Chair was taken at twelve o'clock by the Right Reverend the
Lord Bishop of Winchester, D.D., F.R.S., a Vice-President.
The Chairman having addressed the Meeting, the Hon. Secretary read
the Minutes of the Annual Meeting held in 1857, at the Deepdene,
Dorking, and of the General Meetings at Southwark, which were
confirmed.
XXll REPORTS OP PROCEEDINGS.
The following Beport of the Council was then read : —
In presenting their fifbh Annual E,eport, the Council are enabled to
state that there has been, during the past year, no variation from that
successful progress which the Society has hitherto made.
Since the last Annual Beport was submitted, two General Meetings
have been held, — the first at Dorking in June, 1857, and the second in
Southwark last May.
The first was held at The Deepdene, by the kindness of Henry Thomas
Hope, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents of the Society. From The
Deepdene the Meeting adjourned to Wotton, the residence of William
John Evelyn, Esq., another Vice-President, through whose courtesy an
opportunity was presented of inspecting many interesting relics of the
past associated with the memory of that accomplished and eminent
person, "John Evelyn of Wotton." The Council have much pleasure in
acknowledging the polite hospitality of Mr. Hope and Mr. Evelyn upon
that occasion.
The Meeting in Southwark, held on the anniversary of the Society's
Inauguration in the same place (12th May) was not so fully attended,
owing to the unfavourable state of the weather ; but three Papers were
read, which will form valuable additions to the future publications of the
Society.
There have also been held two Special General Meetings in Southwark,
upon the subject of a proposal to extend the operations of the Society to
the county of Kent, which county, at the time the subject was first
brought under the notice of the Council, had no similar society. As,
however, the county of Kent has since established an Arcbseologioal
Society of its own, the proposed extension was' abandoned.
The Council cannot but rejoice that so important and interesting a
county as Kent, the immediate neighbour of Surrey, should, at length,
be archasologically represented. They feel assured that the Members of
this Society will be well satisfied that its influence has been exerted,
although at some cost to themselves, in aiding the movement in Kent,
inasmuch as the cause of archseology must derive essential benefit by the
formation of the Kent Archaeological Society, to which the Council
heartily wish success.
In the last Report an apology was offered for the delay occasioned by
unforeseen interruptions in the publication of the second part of the
Transactiona That delay, prolonged for some months after the date of
the Ileport, was occasioned by the abandonment of the editorship by the
gentleman who had undertaken it. Fresh arrangements had to be
made, and the plan of the work altered in consequence. The Council
feel that in justice to themselves this explanation should be given ; and
they are happy to add that they have provided against any recurrence
of a similar impediment to publication. They trust that Part II., now
published, will be deemed creditable to the Society. No time will be
lost in preparing and issuing the succeeding parts.
During the last twelve months two interesting discoveries of mural
paintings in churches have been made in Surrey — the one at Fetcham
and the other at Croydon. In each case the Council have succeeded in
REPOBTS OF PROCEEDIKaS. Xxiii
obtaining representatioDB of the paintings for the purpose of publi-
cation.
It is satiflfactory to the Council to report that there has been a oon
siderable increase in the number of Members. At the date of the last
Eeportj the number was 450, while at present it is 500, of whom 72 are
Life Compounders.
The Council cannot but congratulate the Members upon the acces-
sion to their numbers of so distinguished an archaeologist as Sir Henry
Bawlinson, now a Vice-President of the Society.
The Library and Museum have been enriched by many liberal oontri-
bations.
In conclusion, the Council would urge upon the attention of Members
the great advantage to the Society that might be derived from individual
and personal efforts to increase its Members, thereby enhancing its
efficiency, and enabling the Council the better to advance the objects for
which the Association has been formed.
Fincmdal Report of the Council,
The Council have much pleasure in submitting the Financial State-
ment of the Society for the year ending June, 1858, to the General
Meeting, and trust that the state of the Funds will appear satisfactory.
In introducing the item of £72 payment to the Hon. Secretary, the
Council beg to acknowledge the valuable services they have received
from him, and to state that, owing to the heavy demands made upon his
time during the past two years by the work of the Society, they came
to the resolution of offering to him, as some remuneration for such
services, the amount named, which they doubt not will be approved by
the Members generally.

National Schools, Eton Street, which was placed at the disposal of
the Society by the kindness of the Trustees of the Schools.
At eleven o'clock the Chair was taken by the Right Hon. Lord
Abinger, M.A., a Vice-President.
After a brief Address from the Chairman,
The Minutes of the last Meeting were read and confirmed.
G. B. Webb, Esq., the Hon. Secretary, then read the Annual Repoi t
of the Council, to the following effect : * —
The Council congratulated the Society on its satisfactory progress, in
proof of which they mentioned that the two meetings held in the pre-
vious twelvemonth at Farnham and Kennington had been attended by
upwards of 600 members and visitors, and that a steady increase of the
former was still maintained.
In preparing the Society's publications for the Press, the Council had
on several occasions felt themselves reluctantly compelled to omit Illus-
trative Engravings of much interest, in order to confine the expense
within the limits allowed by the Society's ordinary funds. In order to
meet this difficulty, the Council had opened an Illustration Fund, to
which several Members of the Society had already contributed, and to
which they now invited general attention.
The Library and Museum had received considerable additions.
It having appeared to the Council that in future it would be more
* The draft of this Report was, it is believed, mislaid during the removal of papers,
&o., consequent on the lamented decease of Mr. Webb, and has not since oeen
recovered. Its substance, however, has been collected from other sources.
REPORTS OF PROCEEDINGS. XXlX
convenient to make their financial year harmonise with the civil year,
they had directed a supplemental Balance-sheet to be prepared, showing
the income and expenditure of the Society for the six months ending
December 31, 1858. This had accordingly been done, and the Balance-
sheet would be read with the Auditors' report thereon.
The Chairman moved the adoption of the Keport, which was carried
unanimously.
The Balance-sheet (see page xxxiv.) and the Beport of the Auditors
were then read.
AudUors^ Report, Surrey ArcluBclogical Society, 1859.
The Auditors have much pleasure in submitting the accounts, made
np, as requested by the Council, to the 31st December, 1858, being the
half-yearns accounts from July, 1858, to which time the accounts had been
audited and submitted to the Meeting held at Famham.
They have also much pleasure in certifying the growing increase of
the Society by the continued accession of new Members, as appears by
the amount received for subscriptions^ and the smallness of the arrears to
Christmas, 1858.
They have also vouched, through the medium of the Banker's
account, the sum of £348. 9s. 3d. New Three per Cent. Annuities,
which amount is now invested and standing to the credit of the Surrey
Archaeological Society, in conformity with the rules, as being part of the
Life Members' Compositions, and presenting the nucleus of a Permanent
Fund, the dividends of which are periodically carried to Income account,
and thus making an actual capital, with the value of the Library publi-
cations and Collection belonging to the Society (the latter of which are
placed at the very moderate value of £115), of £435.
They also beg to add, on presenting this short summary of the affairs
of the Society, their satisfaction with the clear and intelligent manner
in which the accounts have been kept by the Honorary Secretary, and
the accuracy of the vouchers produced for the sums expended by the
Society.

calling attention to its contents.
Among the objects of archaeological interest exhibited were the
following : * —
Celtic Wood Vessel from a Bog in the County of Armagh.
* The collection was large and important, though of a rather miscellaneous
character. It is much to be regretted that no accurate list either of the articles so
kindly forwarded for exhibition, or of the names of the exhibitors, is to be found
among the records of the Society. The list here given is the best which at this lapse
of time can be made out.

REPOKTS OF PROCEEDINGS. XXXV
BEIGATE.
The Seventh Annual General Meetino of the Society was held
at Gatton Hall, Keigate.
The company first assembled at Merstham Station, from whence they
proceeded to the church, which was described by Alfred Heales, Esq.,
F.S.A.
From thence to Chipstead Church, which was described by the Rev.
P. Aubertin, the Bector ; after which the Members and their friends
were conveyed to Gatton Church, which was ably described by the Rev.
J. C. Wynter.
The company then proceeded to Gatton Hall, the house and grounds
having been liberally thrown open to the Society by Sir Hugh Cairnp,
who at the time occupied this fine seat.
The Chair was taken at two p.m. by the Hon. W. J. MoNSON, M.P.,
a Vice-President.
The Chairman, after a brief address, called upon the Hon. Secretary,
H. W. Sass, Esq., to read the Minutes of the sixth Annual General
Meeting at Richmond, on July 5th, 1859, which were confirmed.
The Report of the Council, the Balance Sheet for the year ending
December 31st, 1859, and the Report of the Auditors, were then
read ; —
Report of the Council.
The Council have much pleasure in submitting the Financial State-
ment of the Society for the year 1859-60 to the General Meetiug, and
trust that the state of the funds will appear satisfactory.
The Council fully expected to have produced at this Meeting the third
part of the Society's Journal ; but, owing to the decease of Mr. G. B.
Webb, whose loss the Society deeply lament, some delay has been
occasioned : they trust, however, that the Transactions wiU be ready for
delivery to Members early in August.
The Council beg to call particular attention to the Illustration Fund,
and to point out that, owing to the liberality of a few Members of the
Society, dkfaC'SvniUe of a most interesting document will appear in Part
III., which otherwise the funds at their disposal would not have
allowed.
At the death of Mr. Webb, the late Honorary Secretary, H. W.
Sass, Esq., was requested to accept the office of Hon. Secretary, pro
tempore, until the present Meeting, the Council being Mly assured that
this General Meeting will confirm the appointment. The Council have
considered it beneficial to the Society's interests that the offices should
be removed from Southampton Street to 7, St. Mildred's Court, Poultry,
Mr, Sass having placed a room there at the Society's disposal.

Eeport of the AudUora for 1860.
Yoar Auditors have examined the accounts of the Society from
January 1st, 1859, to December 31at, 1859, and also up to the time of
the decease of the late Honorary Secretary (Mr. G. B. Webb).
They have the melancholy satisfaction of stating that the several
accounts by the late Mr. G. B. Webb are borne out by the several
voachers.
It appears that th^ sum of £396. la, lOdl New Three per Cenfc. An-
nuities is invested equal to £380, and stands to the credit side of the
Surrey Archaeological Society in the banker's book, which sum is duly
invested, according to the rules of the Society.
The Stock, consisting of the Library, Museum, and Publications, are
set down at, we think, a moderate valuation of £125, making a total of
£505 j the liabilities of the past year amounting to £130. 13«. M,
Your Committee cannot conclude this very gratifying report without
expressing their thanks to your present Honorary Secretary (Mr. Sass)
for the very ready assistance he gave them in collecting the various
papers and explaining the accounts.
The increase of Members, and the growing importance of the Society,
suggested to your auditors that a book should be procured and kept in
such a manner that the accounts should be readily referred to, and can
be seen at a glance without assistance.
They also suggest that a Catalogue of the Museum and Books should
be made, so that the Members may have an opportunity of knowing
what they possess, and have thereby easier reference thereto.
The expenses of the last Meeting held at Bichmond have been, they
observe, large ; but this item of expenditure must of necessity be variable,
and subject to local circumstances, and so, they presume, influenced by
the exertions of the Local Committee, where their meeting is held.
(Signed) Alfred James Hiscoces.
The adoption of the Beport of the Council was then moved, seconded,
and carried unanimously.
On the proposition of W. Tayler, Esq., F.S.S., seconded by J. J.
Howard, Esq., LL.D., F.S.A., H. W. Sass, Esq., was duly elected Hon.
Secretary, in the room of G. B. Webb, Esq., deceased.
The Officers and Council for the ensuing year were elected.
Several new Members were elected.
Totes of thanks to the Patrons, President, and Officers of the Society
for their past year's services were then passed.
AccorcQng to previous notice, the Meeting was then made Special, for
the consideration of Bules XIII. and XYI.
On the motion of W. H. Hart, Esq., F.S.A., duly seconded, it was
resolved that these rules should in future stand thus : —
Rule XIII. An Annual General Meeting shall be held in the
month of Juke or July, at such times and places as the
Council shall appoint, to receive and consider the Beport of
the Council on the state of the Society, and to elect the officers
for the ensuing twelve months.

BEPORTS OF PI^OCBSIDINOS,
BuLE XYI. The Council shall, meet for the transaction of business
connected with the management of the Society, once at least in
every month, that is to say, on the second Thursday in each
month, or on such other days as the Council shall from time to
time direct.
After a cordial vote of thanks to Sir Hugh Cairns, for allowing the
meeting to take place at Gatton Hall ; to the Hon. W, J. Monson, for
his efficient services in the Chair ; and to the Local Committee and
Secretaries ; the party proceeded to Eeigate Church, which was described
by W. H. Hart, Esq., F.S.A.
The Priory, the seat of Earl Somers, was the next point of attraction,
and, among many interesting objects, the beautiful Oak Chimney-Piece
from Konsuch attracted great attention.
The Baron's Caves, at Eeigate, were then visited and described by
John Lees, Esq.
The Dinner took place at the White Hart Hotel, at which about 120
members and friends were present. The Chair was taken by the Hon.
W. J. Monson, supported by the Vicar of Beigate, and Thomas
Hart, Esq.
A Conversaidone was held in the evening at the Town Hall, where a
temporary Museum of Antiquities, Bubbings, &a, was formed ; also a
splendid collection of antique rings and jewellery, ^contributed by E.
Waterton, Esq., and the Bev. James Beak^ which attracted general
admiration.
The following gentlemen had kindly undertaken the duties of a Local
Committee, and the formation of the Museum was chiefly owing to their
exertions : —

LOSELEY.
The Eighth Annual Genebal MsETiNa of the Society was held at
Loseley Park, by the kind permission of J. More Molyneux, Esq., F.S. A.,
on Tuesday, August 6th, 1861.
The Members and their friends assembled at St. Nicholas Church,
Guildford, and then visited the Loseley ChapeL A description of the
Monuments of the More family was given by W. H. Hart, Esq., F.S. A
From thence to the ruins of St. Catherine's Chapel, wluch were
described by H. W. Sass, Esq.
The Chair was taken at Loseley Hall, by James More Molyneux, Esq.,
F.S. A., a Vice-President, at one o'clock.
Circumstances had 'delayed the holding of this Annual Meeting
beyond the time limited by the rules of the Society ; the Chairman
therefore commenced the proceedings by putting to the Meeting a
resolution suspending for this occasion the operation of Bule XIII.,
which requires the Annual General Meeting to be held in June or July.
The resolution was carried.
The Minutes of the last Annual General and Special General Meetings,
held at Beigate, on June 27th, 1860, were then read and confirmed;
The following Beport of the Council was read and adopted : —
In presenting the eighth Annual Beport of the Society, your Council
congratulate the members on its continued prosperity, but would urge
them all still to afford their aid, by inducing their friends in the county
who have not done so to become members, and thus largely increase its
prosperity and efficiency.
Three years since your Council felt themselves most reluctantly com-
peUed to remove from the list of members some gentlemen who were in
arrear with their subscriptions ; and, although they do not intend to
adopt the same course this year, they cannot refrain from alluding to the
fieu;t, as the expenditure for the collection of subscriptions is very large.
In addition to the repeated applications of the collector, over 2,000
letters are annually sent to persons in arrear.
Your Council regret to have to report that sixty-three members have
left the Society since last year ; six from death, and fifty-seven from
resignation. This appears a large number ; but the great proportion of
xl KEPORTS OF FROCEEDINQS.
resignations are of personal friends of the late Honorary Secretary, who
have lost their interest in the Society at his death. The present number
of members on the books of the Society is 555, of whom sixteen have
joined during the present year.
Your Council have great pleasure in submitting the Financial State-
ment of the Society for the year ending December, 1860. The receipts
for the year have been £223. 13^., and the payments XI 77. lis. 6d.,
leaving a balance of X45. ISs, 3d, The assets of the Society, consisting
of the balance in hand and the arrears of subscriptions, are XI 65. ISa, 6d,y
and the liabilities are rather under that amount ; while the property of
the Society consists of New per Cent. Annuities, Library, Museum, and
parts of Transactions, valued at £574. 158.
In the month of August last, your Council considered it desirable to
assist a project formed for the establishment of Monthly Evening
Meetings, in connection with this and the London and Middlesex
Archaeological Societies, feeling that, although many Members resided
too far from London to avail themselves of them, still a large number
residing in or near London and Southwark might be able to do so. Tho
result, they are happy to find, justifies their decision. From September
to December upwards of forty members of the Surrey Society joined the
movement, and the number has continued steadily to increase to the
present time.
Your Council feel it necessary to add that they have not the slightest
wish or intention of uniting with the Middlesex Society for any other
than the above purpose.
The first Evening Meeting was held on .the 18th of September, since
which they have been held regularly on the evening of the third Tuesday
in each month. At these meetings papers of great interest have been
read both by members of the Council of the Society as well as of the
general body.
Keports of these Meetings have appeared in the GerUleTnan^s Magevdne
and other periodicals^ and several members have joined the Society for
the purpose of becoming members of the Evening Meetioga.
At the Preliminary Meetings of the Council, due consideration was
given to the probable working expenses of these Meetings, and the
yearly subscription for members was fixed at 5s. each, and arrangements
made for the sjeJc of Visitors' Tickets at the rate of 5s. per dozen, in
packets of not less than six.
On the resignation of Mr. Cox as the Hon. Secretary of the Evening
Meetings, a Member of our Council, Mr. "W. H. Hart, F,S.A, was
unanimously appointed Director of the Evening Meetings, and Mr. J.
E. Price, Hon. Secretary.
Your Council wish to draw the attention of the members to the great
confusion which must necessarily arise from gentlemen not applying for
tickets for dinner and conveyances at the time mentioned in the pro-
gramme, and are compelled to state that in future no accommodation
can be provided for those who do not apply by the stated time. More
than half the tickets for the present Meeting have been applied for
since the time mentioned in the Circular.
The new part of the Transactions is now in preparation, and your
REPOBTS OF FBOCBEDINOa xli
Council hope before the end of October that it will be in the hands
of the members.
In conclusion, your Council will again urge the necessity of paying up
all arrears of subscription, as the delay not only entails much trouble
and expense on the Society and its officers, but greatly fetters its
operations.
By order, (signed) H. W. Sass, Hon, Secreta/ry.
The officers for the ensuing year were elected.
Several new members were elected*
Thanks were voted to the officers for their past year's services.
The following Papers were then read : —
1. On Flint Implements found in the Driflb. By J. Evans^ ^Bsq.,
F.S.A.
(This Paper gave rise to some discussion, in which the Bev. Thomas
Hugo, M.A., F.S.A,, and R. A. 0. Godwin- Austen, Esq., F.G.S.,
took part.)
2. On the Loseley Manuscripts and Estate. By W. H. Hart, Esq.,
F.S.A.
Upon the Table in the Hall several of the more popularly interesting
volumes of this celebrated MS. Collection were exhibited. Some
Curious Pedigrees of the Families of More, or Moore, were also dis-
played on the walls.
Thanks were voted to the authors of the Papers read, and to the
Chairman for his able conduct in the Chair.
After a brief reply from the Chairman, the Meeting adjourned.
Luncheon was provided in the grounds by the kindness of the Presi-
dent of the day.
The company then proceeded to Compton Church, and from thence
to the Almshouses and Chapel belonging to the Carpenters' Company at
Godalming ; and to Godalming Church, a Paper on which was read by
Alfred Heales, Esq., F.S.A.
Dinner was provided at the Town Hall, Godalming, at which Mr.
More Molyneux presided. About 120 members and their friends sat
down.
LINGFIELD.
The Ninth Annual General Meeting of the Society was held at
Lingfield, on Thursday, October 16th, 1862, under the presidency of
Gsanyille Leveson Goweb, Esq.
The members and their friends assembled at the Godstone Eoad
Station, and from thence proceeded to Crowhurst Church, which, by the
permission of the Bev. George Wheelwright, M. A., was thrown open.
A Paper was read on Crowhurst Church and Monuments, by George
Bussell French, Esq.
The company then proceeded, by permission of William Borrer, Esq.,
to Crowhurst Place, where a Paper was read by Charles Baily, Esq., on

where the monuments of the Cobhams were pointed out by J. W.
Flower, Esq., and a Paper was read by G. R Comer, Esq., on Ster-
borough Castle and Lingfield Church.
After which the company proceeded to Lingfield School, where the
Chair was taken by Granville Levesok Gower, Esq.
It was resolved that the operation of Rule XIII. should be suspended
for this year.
After an Address from the Chairman,
The Minutes of the last Annual General Meeting, held at Loseley
Park, on August 6 th, 1861, were read and confirmed.
The following Keport of the Council was then read : —
In presenting the Report of the past year to the Ninth Annual
General Meeting of the Society, the Council feel it incumbent on them
to explain the cause of the Meeting being held so late in the year.
They were anxious, in accordance with a wish expressed by his Grace
the late Archbishop of Canterbury, the lamented Patron of the Society,
to hold a Meeting at Lambeth Palace j but, owing to his Grace's long-
continued illness and ultimate death, the Meeting was obliged to be
postponed, although the tickets and programmes were printed ready
for distribution. The Council then felt that it was desirable to hold a
Meeting previously contemplated at Lingfield. Here, however, another
unexpected delay occurred, for they were unwilling to have a Meeting
until the next part of the Collections, which has been recently distri-
buted, was in the hands of the members. Owing, however, to the
unavoidable delay of artists and engravers, the part has been delayed
much longer than was anticipated. They confidently hope, however,
that now it is in the hands of the members, they will consider it worthy
of the delay. They considered that it was essential to the interest of
the Meeting that the valuable contribution by one of their body on the
History of the Cobhams should be in the hands of members as a guide-
book in visiting Lingfield Church.
Your Council lament sincerely the death of the Patron of the Society,
His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, and hope that they shidl
be able to interest the sympathies of the Primate, so that he may occupy
the same position in the Society so long and so worthily filled by his
predecessor.
They regret that they are unable to present the balance-sheet of the
Society, owing to its not having been audited.
On the last occasion that the Society assembled, your Council reported
the establishment of Monthly Evening Meetings, held at the rooms of
the Society jointly with the London and Middlesex Society. They are
happy to be able now to report to you that the scheme is working well,
BBP0RT8 OF PROCEEDINGS. xliU
and is self-sapporting — ^tbe parent Sooietj not baying had in any way
to assist in defraying the expenses. The attendance at them is on the
increase, and although it can hardly be expected that a large number of
Surrey members will be able to attend^ they hope that for the purpose
of seeing what is being done they will subscribe, and thus be enabled to
receive copies of the Beports now in course of preparation.
They have only to add that they have taken an unusual course in
publishing a second part of their volume without the index, title-page,
&o, ; but they propose to place these in a third part, which they hope
will be in the hands of the members shortly, including the balance-sheet
before mentioned.
They cannot conclude without alluding to the change of Collector.
Their late Collector having accepted a situation at the International
Exhibition, they found it necessary to appoint Mr. Brittain instead — for
this reason, many of the most punctual members of the Society have not
yet paid their subscriptions. Your Council will therefore urge on all
persons in arrear to pay at once, either to the Local Honorary Secretary,
or at the OfSce of the Society.
By order, (signed) H. W. Sass, Hon, Secretary,
This Beport was adopted.
The officers for the ensuing year and several new members were
elected.
Thanks were voted to the officers of the past year, to the gentlemen
who had read Papers at the Meeting, and to the Chairman for his kind-
ness in presiding.
The Chairman returned thanks, and the Meeting adjourned.
ST. MILDRED'S COURT, POULTRY.
The Tenth Annual General Meeting of the Society was held at
their Booms, St. Mildred's Court, on Wednesday, the 22nd July, 1863,
at One p.m. for 1.30.
J. W. Butterworth, Esq., F.S.A., in the Chair.
The Minutes of the last Annual General Meeting, held at Lingfield,
on October 16th, 1862, were read and confirmed.
The Honorary Secretary read the Beport of the Council : —
In presenting their Beport to the tenth Annual General Meeting of
the Surrey Archseological Society, the Council wish, in the first place, to
say a few words in explanation of the course they have thought proper
to adopt in summoning you to-day to this place, instead of following the
practice which has been more usual — of combining the business meeting
with one of the archaeological excursions. It has seemed to your
Council that the practice of other Societies afforded a precedent which it
would be well on this occasion to follow, and that by relieving the
members and visitors at the County Meeting to-morrow from the dis-
cussion of the dry details of business, more time could be devoted to the
Xliv REPORTS OF PROCEEDINQS.
reading of Papers, and the examination of the various interesting objects
which it is intended to view.
The Council hope that the Society at large will concur with them as
to the propriety of this alteration.
Your Coiinoil have to announce that Mr. Sass, the Honorary Secre-
tary, has intimated his intention of retiring from that post, the duties of
which, from the pressure of private and professional engagements, he
feels no longer in a position to perfornl with satisfaction to himself and
to the Society. Mr. Sass, however, has kindly consented to allow his
name to be submitted to this Meeting for re-election on the Council,
where it is hoped that his local knowledge and acquaintance with the
principal members of this Society will be of great advantage to his
successor in office. In making this communication, the Council cannot
omit to notice the zeal which Mr. Sass has shown in arranging and
superintending the various Archaeological Meetings which have taken
place during his connection with the Society.
The members of such an Association as ours need scarcely be re-
minded of the importance of the office of Honorary Secretary being
filled by a gentleman of business-like habits, zeal, and ability, coupled
with sufficient leisure to devote to its affairs. It is with great pleasure
that your Council now announce that, in the absence of any candidate
whom they could recommend for permanent appointment, one of their
own body, Mr. Edward Yaughan Austin, has most kindly consented to
act as Honorary Secretary for the next three months, at the expiration
of which time it is hoped that some permanent arrangement may be
made.
On terminating the connection with the present Honorary Secretary,
it becomes necessary to provide a new locality for the reception of the
Museum and Library of the Society, and for the transaction of its
business. Negotiations based on a liberal offer, made by another Mem-
ber of Council, are now on foot, which it is hoped may result in satis-
factorily attaining this object.
Towards the end of last year the attention of the Council was first
called to the fact that the accounts for the last three years had not been
audited. Immediately on ascertaining this, steps were taken to remedy
so serious an omission, and the Council have now the satisfaction of
laying on the table for the perusal of the members, copies of the
balance-sheets of the last three years, up to December 31, 1862, duly
examined with the vouchers, and signed by Mr. Kichardson, your
Auditor for the year 1862-3, and by a member of the Financial Com-
mittee of the Council, who, in the unavoidable absence ,of the other
Auditor, was called in to assist Mr. Kichardson, who has forwai'ded the
following Eeport, containing several valuable suggestions, to which the
Council will give their best consideration.
AvdUor*8 Report.
In delivering the audited accounts for the three years ending respect-
ively Christmas, 1860, '61, and ^^2, I have to report : —
First — ^That on being called upon at the commencement of the
REPORT OP PROCEEDINOa xlv
present year to audit the accounts for 1861, I proceeded to do so ; but
finding that receipts had been forwarded to the several Local Secretaries
for the subscribers in their districts, and that no returns of such or for
previous years had been made, and the accounts otherwise not prepared,
I postponed the further audit, requesting the Secretary in the meantime
to procure the necessary returns of receipts from the Local Secretaries.
It being notified to me by the Secretary that my co-auditor would be
unable to attend any audit until a late period in the year, I afterwards
gladly availed myself of the kind offer of assistance made by Mr. Charles
Spencer Perceval, whose aid, together with his knowledge of the pro-
ceedings of the Council for some time past, I found most valuable.
Second — On resuming the audit with Mr. Perceval in May, we found
ifc necessary to examine the accounts for 1860, the year previous to that
in which I had been appointed, and which proved not to have been
audited. The result of the three years' audit is now before you, together
with a Statement of Liabilities to Christmas, 1862.
I regret to be compelled to remark upon the absence of a proper
system in keeping the accounts — no cash-book, no book in which the
receipts and payments of previous years have been entered for reference
and as a standing record of receipts and payments — and would recom-
mend that a Treasurer's book should be provided, and that the audited
balance-sheets of the previous years should be duly entered therein.
Third — It is my opinion that the financial operations of the Society
would be much facilitated if, instead of the Secretary acting also as
Treasurer, as has hitherto been the case, some Member of the Council
were appointed Acting Treasurer, the Secretary and Collector paying
over to him all moneys received ; and further, that no accounts be paid
but by the Treasurer, and then only upon the authority of the Council,
under the signature of the Chairman, all postage and petty cash expenses
being paid quarterly, under the same authority. I would also recom-
mend that separate receipt-books for the subscriptions be supplied to
the Secretary, the Collector, and the Local Secretaries.
Fourth — As to the expenses of the Society, I have no doubt that the
experience of the past two years will lead to the adoption of some plan
by which much of the expense of conducting the annual county
gatherings of the members may be lessened, or altogether avoided.
The recent alteration in the offices of the Society will also enable the
Council to reduce the annual working expenses, hitherto much out of
proportion to the annual receipts.
Lastly; — I ^<Bel called upon to refer to the large proportion of sub-
scriptions in arrear. While the number of members has been reported
as upwards of 500, the average of receipts for the past three years has
been only from 300 members. Perhaps it will be possible in the
Council to adopt some plan by which a more systematic collection of
subscriptions can be made for the future, as also of the many arrears.

Owing principally to the neglect of the Annual Audit, it has been
found (as, indeed, the Beport just read shows) that several pecuniary
liabilities of considerable aggregate amount remained undischarged on
the 31st of December last. It must be observed that some of these
liabilities are of as long standing as 1860, while the heaviest item, £156,
consists of the Printer's account for the last part of the Transactions,
1862. It is right to notice here, that in consideration of the pressing
claims on the Society's funds, Mr. Sass has liberally proposed to forego
his regular allowance for Clerks, &c., as from Christmas last.
It will be within the recollection of the members, that at the General
Meeting of the Society held at St. Olave's Grammar Schools, Southwark,
on October 30th, 1855, a resolution was carried empowering the Council
to sell £75 of the Stock standing in the names of the Trustees for the
purpose of repaying the expense of publishing the fmst portion of the
Society's Transactions. It was, however, subsequently considered that
the ordinary income of the Society was sufficient to meet this charge,
and the power was consequently not acted on, and is considered to have
lapsed. The Council have now resolved to recommend that fresh powers
be now given to them to sell a sum not exceeding £150 out of the
Stock (amounting to nearly £400), in order to enable them to discharge
the expense incurred by the publication of the Transactions, which the
ordinary income has proved insufficient to bear.
The Council hope that if this is done they will find themselves in a
position to issue with all speed the third and last part of the second
volume of the Transactions, containing, besides one or two Papers of
interest, the account of the proceedings at General Meetings up to that
at Lingfield last year, with the balance-sheets for the last three years.
Index, and List of Members. With regard to this List of Members, a
* On examination, several of these items proved inexact. For the actual liabilities

fev words most be added. The Oounoil, in investigating the affiiirs of
the Society, have found mnch difficulty in ascertaining who are members
and who are not. Repeated printed applications have been directed to
be made to persons in arrear, inviting them either to liquidate those
arrears, or to signify their intention of withdrawing fixHn the Society.
The Council regret to say that these circulars have in many cases received
no attention ; but in stating this they must; not conceal fnmi the Society
their serious apprehensions, that in some instances at least the circulars
have never reached the parties to whom they were by the Council and
the Honorary Secretary believed to have been sent. This uncertainty
as to the number of members, and the consequent uncertainty as to the
prospective income of the Society, must clearly embarrass the Council in
the discharge of their duties. They therefore would beg all present
to give a little help in this matter by mentioning the facts to such
of their friends and neighbours as they may know to be or have been
Sabscribers ; begging them to look at their last receipts, and, if they
find themselves in arrear, to pay up their arrears at once; or, if
they wish to withdraw from the Society, to intimate the same to the
Honorary Secretary or to any Member of Council, in order that their
names may be removed from the new List.
The Council feel sure that nothing but inadvertence or misunder-
standing prevents the collection of many outstanding arrears.
In conclusion, the Council must express their conviction that much
remains to be done for the History and Antiquity of the County of
Surrey, and, with the hearty support of all interested in the subject, the
Surrey Archaeological Society may reasonably be expected to contribute
its fair share of that work.
By order, (signed) H. W. Sass, Son, Secretary.
The Report was adopted.
The Officers for the ensuing year were elected*— E, Y. Austin, Esq.,
being appointed Honorary Secretary pro tempore.
Several new Members were elected.
It was proposed by Charles Spencer Perceval, Esq., seconded by J.
W. Flower, Esq., and earned, that this meeting sanctions ike with-
drawal of £150 Stock from the invested funds of the Society for the
purpose of meeting the present liabilities.
Proposed by A. J. Hisoocks, Esq., seconded by Edward Richardson,
Esq., that the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Chairman.
The Chairman returned thanks.
The Meeting then adjourned.
The Council have much pleasmre in subjoining (in anticipation of the
Annual General Meeting of 1864) the Bsdance Sheets ke, for the year
ending December 31, 1863.

ROMAN PAVEMENT, ETC. UPON WAI/TON
HEATH.
By W. W. POCOCK, Esq., B.A., F.R.I.B.A.
BEAD AT A GENERAL MEETING OF THE SOOIETT, HELD AT LAMBETH PALACE,
31ST OOTOBEB, 1856.
Anything relating to the E/omans, those great
masters of the ancient world, must be interesting, on
their account, even if comparatively trivial in itself.
Their history, like that of other nations, is too much a
page of wars and murders, to afford any general insight
into their every-day, in-door life and habits, the scenes
so dear to every English heart ; and yet so deeply have
these imperial republicans stamped their impress upon
the whole region of mind throughout Europe, that no
investigation seems traced to the fountain-head, that
does not extend back at least as far as the period of the
Caesars.
If this absorbing interest attaches to everything
Roman throughout the world, how much more when
the object of our research relates to our own beloved
isle 1 We do not deny that these foreigners were the
conquerors of our land ; we are flattered by their
VOL. II. B
2 romXn pavement, etc.
admission that it was " reduced to obedience only; and
not to servitude/* We rather boast the length and
obstinacy of the struggle our hardy forefathers main-
tained against the science and discipline of the legions ;
for though we have but a one-sided testimony from
contemporary history, and that, scanty at the best,
penned by those least inclined to do justice to the subju-
gated, we cannot but admit the superiority of the
invaders in point of science and of art. Gladly, there-
fore, do we hail every discovery that withdraws, however
partially, the thick veil in which the Anglo-Roman
period of our history is enveloped.
It is in this spirit, that I invite attention to the
discoveries lately made on Walton Heath, which though,
so far as I know, some of the most considerable yet
brought to light in the county of Surrey, have not
produced, hitherto, anything like the splendid works of
Bignor, in Sussex, or Woodchester and Cirencester, in
Gloucestershire.
Walton Heath is part of the high ground forming the
southern rim of the chalk basin of London, and of which
Banstead and Epsom Downs are parts adjacent. It lies
in the crow's flight from London to Chichester, and in
a direct line with Parley Heath, where lately, such
numerous Roman remains have come to light. It is
also in the direct line from Sandwich or Richborough,
the Ritupiae, and head-quarters of the Roman fleet, to
Kingston or Walton on Thames, where, it seems, Caesar
first crossed the river, and in which vicinity, it appears,
the Romans built their first bridge across that stream.
The Roman street from London to Chichester must have
passed at no great distance, if not across, the heath ; and
not far from here, must be the most hopeful search for
the long-lost Noviomagus of Antoninus.
UPON WALTON HEATH. 3
This Koman station, which has been looked for in
Dartford, Croydon, Guildford, and perhaps a score more
places, is described in the "Itinerary of Antoninus,"
compiled probably in the reign of Hadrian, or about
A.D. 120, as situated on one of the roads from London
to Canterbury, passing, not through Rochester^ but
through Vagniacae, probably Maidstone. Ptolemy, the
geographer of about the same date, calls it the capital
of the Kegni, who inhabited Surrey and Sussex, in which
he is also supported by B/ichard the Monk of Cirencester,
who, in the fourteenth century, professed to compile an
itinerary of Boman Britain from an ancient £/Oman MS.,
and is generally considered a good authority. Chiches-
ter, probably the Begnum of Antonine, was, in the time
of this emperor, reached from London through Win-
chester and Clausentum, or Southampton. But at a
later date, the road from Chichester ran by Bignor and
Pulborough, in Sussex, to Oakwood, in Surrey ; thence
by Ockley and Anstie Bury Camp to Dorking ; and for a
considerable portion of this distance, it still remains
under the name of Stane Street. Prom Dorking it ran
towards London, through Croydon or Wallington, either
over Mickleham Down or Walton Heath, the road across
which, still in use, has much of a Boman aspect, and in
so doing it probably joined the road to Maidstone at
Noviomagus.
There seems good reason for supposing, that the whole
of the country from Maidstone to Salisbury, was one
unbroken forest, almost impervious to the Boman
legions, the densest part being about the wild of Surrey.
This Mr. Long supposes to have been the reason for
the road to Chichester going round by Beading and
Winchester, the wood in that direction being less thick.
This south-east portion of the island, was the part
b2

first reduced by the Romans, Claudius having been
instigated to the invasion by Bericus, doubtless the Veric,
son of Comius, whose coin Mr. Tupper found on Parley
Heath. Two powerful tribes, twenty towns, and the
Isle of Wight were subdued at this time, and Cogidunus
made king of at least a portion of the reduced territory,
the seat of his kingdom being at Chichester. And it is
probably attributable to the fact related of him by
Tacitus, to the effect that this chief remained faithful to
the Romans down to the age of Agricola, that we hear
so little mention of his dominions in the history of those
early times.
That the Romans occupied Surrey extensively is
evidenced by the frequency of their remains. Brayley,
in his history, mentions no less than twenty-six distinct
localities in which they occur, and he might have added
many others. Of these Gatton, Wallington, Kingston,
Chertsey, Egham, Suningdale, Send, Worplesden,
Holmbury Hill, Parley Heath, Anstie Bury, and Blech-
ingley form a complete circle of which Walton Heath is
the centre.
In the year 1772, Mr. Barnes called the attention of
the Society of Antiquaries to Roman antiquities dis-
covered on this heath, consisting of foundations, walls,
and some portions of a flue, and a small brass figure of
Esculapius engraved in the Archaeologia. In 1808 there
still remained a large earthwork, supposed to have been
the Praetorium of a Roman station. At one time a
cottage was erected on the spot by some peasant, out of
materials found there, but after a while the parochial
authorities, as I understand, interfered, and enforced its
demolition.
My attention was first directed to these vestiges of
Roman occupation, by my friend, the Rev. Ambrose
UPON WALTON HEATH. 5
Hall, in a conversation arising out of the Chertsey
meeting of this society, affording, consequently, an
illustration of the mode in which the operations of
such an association tend to bring into the light and to
gather as into a focus, the fragments of information
scattered throughout the county. Having inspected
some tessellse, remains of pottery, and other articles,
he had himself dug up upon the spot, and learning
that the remaining foundations were being destroyed
for the sake of re-using the materials in a garden wall,
a visit was soon arranged, and a very little labour
sufficed to uncover a considerable portion of the pave-
ment. At the same time I measured the trenches,
from which rough masonry, consisting chiefly of flints,
had lately been removed. These are distinguished on
the plan annexed by the dark colour, whilst the
lighter tint marks excavations made at a period more
remote.
The walls appear to have been little more than a foot
in thickness, and the foundation to have been laid about
three feet below the present surface, the pavement found
being generally a foot below the turf, which distinguishes
this site from the thick heath and gorse of the sur-
rounding common. The excavations made extend over
a space not more than 40 yards square; but a very
slight removal of surface reveals abundant remains of
Boman fictilia at very considerable distances around,
especially to the eastward, affording ample scope for
enterprising diggers.
Of the spaces within the wails, several retained a
large portion of their pavements, mostly executed in red
tesserae, 1^ to 2 inches square and an inch thick, of a
coarse material, and apparently laid without reference
to any figure. But the only one of an ornamental
6 ROMAN PAVEMENT, ETC.
character yet brought to light, is in au apartment
towards the middle of the eastern side of the space
occupied by the remains, and about 21 feet square.
The design, it will be seen, consists of a central circle
containing an urn, and surrounded by four semi-circles
and four small squares disposed at the angles, all being
included in a larger square, formed by a wide border, of
a bold and elegant pattern, consisting of circles and
points, the former containing alternately a heart and a
figure resembling the seed of the columbine. On the
outside of this larger square is a Greek meander, then
a band of white ; and lastly, the large red tesserae, before
described, complete the whole.
The central urn already alluded to had its base toward
the east, but was so indistinct in its markings when first
discovered, and has since been so injured by a ruthless
hand, that I am not able to speak with precision as to
its exact form and details. It, however, was executed
with great care, and in it I discovered two colours, that
I could trace in no other part of the design. One of
these was a deep crimson, and the other a purple or violet.
This urn was surrounded by a circular border, consisting
of a guilloche in three colours and two bands executed
in two colours. This circle was enclosed in a square,
formed by a double twisted guilloche, of not unfrequent
occurrence at Cirencester, Woodchester, Erampton (in
Dorsetshire), Alborough (in Yorkshire), and elsewhere.
One of the angular spandrils was filled by a heart-shaped
ornament, and I believe the others to have been similarly
occupied.
Each side of this inner square is flanked by a semi-
circle of equal diameter, already alluded to, and formed
by a border of a triple plat and bands, and within this
the guilloche and bands first described, and which is
UPON WALTON HEATH, 7
continued across the cord as well as round the circum-
ference of the circle.
The interiors of these semi-circles are filled up with
series of smaller semi-circles, and each of the centres is
occupied by a flower of three petals.
The angles of the general design are occupied by the
four smaller squares, formed of the same guilloche,
containing an effectire and not uncommon border in two
colours, the centre being filled by a double endless
knot.
By far the greater part of the cubes employed in this
floor, were only sun-dried clay of a fine texture. Some
were cubes of chalk, and the rest pieces of broken
Samian ware, upon many of which the portions of
figures or ornaments of yarious kinds occur on the
under side.
With the exception of a few found in the urn, the
sun-dried tessellae were of two different colours, one at
least having been tinted with some colouring admixtiu*e ;
and it is probable that the firing was omitted with a
view of obviating the red colour that would otherwise
have been imparted to the clay. The general size of
the tessellse is half an inch every way.
In the absence of representations of living forms, and
in paucity of colours, this pavement is inferior to many
that have been found in various parts of the country ;
but in beauty of outline, severity of taste, and boldness
of handling, it is equal to any I am acquainted with.
In general outline it greatly resembles one found in
Dyer Street, Cirencester, some eight years back; the
whole of the interior of which consists of a circle and
parts of circles within a square jframework. Bat the
introduction of the central and corner squares, in the
Walton design, give it such an admixture of straight lines
8 ROMAN PAVEMENT, ETC.
and curves, as produces a force and character that the
Dyer Street pavement does not possess. The variety of
proportion and character in the several bands gives it a
boldness that leaves nothing to be desired upon that
score. It is to be regretted that it was executed in so
perishable a material that removing or preserving it un-
covered, is quite out of the question ; and the great wonder
is, that it has remained so long in so perfect a state, for,
though I and my friends uncovered the larger half, we
found but few defects in the design. It must, one
would think, have been well saturated with oil when
first covered up.
I am not about to drag you through the vexata
qucBstio of a Boman house, with its cubicula^ atria, peri^
stylia, tablina, and osci ; nor to discuss how far any or all
of these are synonymous terms. But, in order to
understand our subject, it is necessary to have a general
idea of what a Boman house was.
Those who have examined the Pompeian court at the
Crystal Palace, will probably have obtained a sufficiently
correct idea of a Boman town residence on a small
scale. They will observe that the rooms are all on the
ground-floor, and nearly level with the entrance. Indeed,
if any rooms were upstairs, they were only store-rooms,
or the apartments of the females, and occasionally the
sleeping-apartments for the family. The state-rooms
and rooms of entertainment were always (or nearly
always) on the ground-floor, and in the city or town
these were disposed around courts more or less open to
the sky, and received their light and air from these
courts, — a sufficient reason this for avoiding, as far as
possible, the piling of one story upon another. And,
forsooth, though in the imperial ages their public works
and larger buildings were constructed with amazing
UPON WALTON HEATH. 9
solidity, yet in earlier times, and in private dwellings,
the Komans were evidently not a whit better than the
speculating builders of our own day ; for, low as their
structures were, we hear frequently of their falling
with a tremendous crash — another sufficient reason for
preferring a habitation on terra firman to a five or six-
storied house.
A residence of any pretensions would have at least
two such courts surrounded by colonnades, which
ajQforded access to the various apartments. These would
consist of dining-rooms, parlours or rooms for conver-
sation, picture-galleries, libraries not necessarily very
spacious, and probably one or more saloons or apart-
ments which retained the original Greek name of the
housey as the principal room of our farmers' homes still
does in Yorkshire and other parts of the country.
Besides these, there would be sleeping-apartments, on a
small scale according to our notions, baths on a much
larger scale, and domestic apartments; and perhaps
nothing is more calculated to excite our surprise, than
the limited scale upon which the culinary department is
usuaUy designed.
K to these we add the trade department, or stores for
farm produce, if the proprietor be a land-owner, and
perhaps a garden with fountains and sculpture, accom-
modation for horses, and, in mansions, a basilica or
theatre, and a temple mayhap, we have a pretty com-
plete idea of a house in Rome. And as Rome was the
empire, so everything at Rome was the model, and a
similar arrangement would be observed in their country
as in their town houses, except that, more space being
procurable, many of the apartments would be lighted
from the outside rather than the luterior of the house,
and more abundant provision would be made for farm
10 ROMAN PAVEMENT, ETC.
produoe and farm servants ; for it seems to have been a
principle always adopted that the whole of a man's
establishment should be collected mider his own roof,
probably with a view to ostentation as well as security.
We consequently find the patricians, in their houses
at Home, making ample provision for the entertain-
ment of their clients and slaves, as well as the storing
and offering for sale of the various products of their
estates.
These pavements, I may be allowed to remark for the
sake of the uninitiated, were formed in two or three
different ways. Pliny says they had their origin among
the Greeks, who, he intimates, were in the habit of
covering their flat-roofed houses with them. In such a
position they were formed on concrete supported by
planking and timbers, a construction for which Vitru-
vius, the only ancient writer on architecture extant,
gives minute directions. Fliny also informs us that
they were first introduced among the BiOmans by Sylla,
who used them in a temple he erected to Fortuna at
PrsBueste, and intimates that they afforded the hint for a
large portion of the mural and other decorations that
subsequently came into vogue. With this agrees suffi-
ciently what Vitruvius remarks, that the pavements in
his day formed the most important part of the internal
embellishment.
When employed as a flooring to the rooms on the
ground-floor, they were constructed on one of two
prmciples, the one being on the solid ground, and the
other on a substructure by which they were raised two
or three feet, the earth being previously excavated to
the required depth. In the former case the groimd was
rammed till it became perfectly solid, and any defects
found made good ; and not unfrequently the whole space
UPON WAXTON HEATH, 11
was covered with a foundation of concrete, but in any
event a layer of pounded brick or mortar was placed to
receive the tessellse. Wh^o. the pavement was kept
hollow from the ground, it was so formed for the
purpose of passing fire or heated air under it. The
excavation was then roughly paved, and piers, either of
brick, stone, or hollow tubes, were erected at short
intervals over the whole space. These were capped with
larger bricks or tiles, and the whole covered with tiles
laid close together to receive the concrete, first coarse
and then fine, upon which the tesselldB were to be laid.
In either case the interstices of the tessellae were filled
with cement and, if requisite, the surface rendered
smooth by rubbing.
The hollow pavement here described is called a
suspensura, though frequently, with less accuracy, a
hypocaust, which is properly the furnace, or the system
of flues by which the fire or heated air is brought from
the furnace to beneath the floor.
The pavement at Walton, to which I am now directing
attention, was formed on the solid ground, with but a
slight foundation of pounded brick under it, and as it
was usual to form the floors of their principal rooms
hollow, for the purposes of warming, that being the only
or the principal method adopted of securing that end, we
must conclude either that this was not a principal
apartment, or that the building was not of a very
important character. I adopted the former of these
alternatives for the following reasons.
Closely adjoining to the apartment in which this
pavement occurs, may be seen a large excavation
abounding in remains of tiles and bricks, many of which
have been sulgected to the action of smoke. This exca-
vation is just such an one as would result from the
12 BOMAN PAVEMENT, ETC.
pulling up of the foundations of a suspensura and hypo-
caust, and upon no other supposition can we account for
the remains still going so deep into the ground. But
not only so. Though we do not find any of them in
their original position, yet there are abundant remains
of the tiles which, wherever discovered, are used for the
foundation of these hollow floors, and of the square flue
tiles, and I believe I may add of the circular ones also,
all of which are peculiar to these purposes.
I have, therefore, no hesitation in saying that the pit,
measuring fifty or sixty feet long by twenty-five feet
wide, was once covered by apartments of a character
superior to the one the pavement of which I have just
described, though that, from its size and the beauty of
the pavement, could have been a room of no mean
character. That it was a covered apartment, and not a
cavsedium or atrium (open courts), is certain; for a
single winter, if hot the first storm, would have effec-
tually destroyed the sun-dried tessellae; nor, for the
same or similar reasons, could it have been any part of
the baths. And yet even in the remains of the palatial
residence at Bignor, there is no room analogous to this ;
they are either smaller, or coarsely paved, or have
hollow floors ; that is, they are either inferior, or of an
altogether superior class. It cannot have been a sum-
mer apartment, to which in Italy they would not have
put a suspensura, for it has a wrong aspect, unless it
was lighted from the east, which I think impossible; and
it is too near the place of the destroyed suspensura. to
imagine the builders would have hesitated in introducing
a hollow floor, if they had considered it necessary.
We therefore seem shut up to the conclusion that this
was an apartment of a secondary character ; a tablinum
or entrance-hall, as I believe, and consequently that the
UPON WALTON HEATH» 13
best parts were on a large scale, and elaborate in style,
and that what we have already discovered is but a small
portion of a large establishment that once existed on
this spot, and of which probably considerable remains
still exist. Several of the apartments, adjoining that in
which this pavement exists, are still pretty perfectly
paved with the larger tessellaB, and at a distance of
considerably more, I suppose, than a hundred yards,
masonry and large paving tiles, 14 inches long by 10
inches wide, have been discovered in situ, and consider-
able quantities of lead in the interstices, evidently
molten and running down amongst the masonry drop
by drop, leading to the supposition that the building had
been destroyed by fire.
The remains discovered consist, in addition to the
masonry and pavement, of pottery, exhibiting in some
cases the potters' names; fragments of lead, iron, and glass,
flue and other tiles, and a coin of the reign of Vespasian.
Specimens of most of these I have been able to add to
the collection of the Association. I may remark in
conclusion that the tiles of various kinds exactly
accord with those found in other localities, not only in
their general features, but even in the minutiaB which
appear at first sight accidents of manufacture.

ANCIENT BRITISH COINS FOUND IN
SURREY.

IK A LETTEB ADDBBSSED TO HENBT LAWBS LONG, ESQ.
GoDALMiKa, l86 Jt%, 1859.
Dear Sir, — In accordance with your kind request, I
forward herewith drawings of some ancient British coins
found in Surrey, and on which, together with those
puhlished in the first yolume of the Collections, and
some discovered hy Albert Way, Esq., E.S.A., I beg to
submit a few brief observations.
The question of the circulation of stamped money in
Britain previous to the invasion by Julius Caesar, B.C.
55, is, and probably will remain, open for discussion.
Mr. Hawkins, in his work on the English coinage, p. 8,
states as follows : — " There is in the British Museum a
beautiful MS. of Caesar, of about the tenth century,
which reads thus : * Utuntur aut aere aut nummo aureo
aut annulis ferreis ad certum pondus examinatis pro
nummo.' They use either brass money or gold money,
or, instead of money, iron rings adjusted to a certain
weight." In later translations of Caesar, the assertion is
positive that the British did not use stamped money.
Erom the types of the most early coins of the series
being evident copies of the stater of Philip of Macedon,

I think the probability is, that a coinage of gold, silver,
and brass was in circulation before the first Boman
invasion. Por specimens of these, see No. 10 and 11,
p. 70, vol. i. " Surrey Archaeological Collections/' found
respectively at Leatherhead and Godalming.
The next types in point of date, I think, are those
stamped on one side only with the crude representation of
a horse, see No. 9, in the plate above referred to. Speci-
mens of this type are probably the most common of any of
the series of ancient British coins. One was, some time
since, found at Parnham Castle, and another (a remark-
ably fine one) at Lambeth — ^both in Surrey.
Parley Heath is particularly rich in these most in-
teresting relics, and the best thanks of every lover of
antiquity are due to M. P. Tupper, Esq., for his most
interesting little work on them, although more recent
discoveries have shown that he was mistaken as to
" Mepati." Vericus was an undoubted son of Comius,
as was also Epaticcus of Tascionanus, thus giving to two
princes who held dominion in Surrey their proper places
in the pages of the history of our island.
The coins of Vericus, found in Surrey, are Nos. 1, 2,
and 3, in the accompanying drawing; No. 4 is from
Sussex. The coins of Epaticcus are only known to have
been discovered in the immediate neighbourhood of
Parley Heath.
It is a remarkable circumstance that British and
B/oman coins are rarely found together, although there
can be no doubt they had concurrent circulation. Prom
the number of types of British coins, the amount of
money in use;, of this class, must have been very great,
and may probably be, in some degree, accounted for in
this manner : — Boman money was used by the soldiers
and civilians of the Boman empire resident in Britain,
16 ANCIENT BRITISH COINS
and the British stamped money for circulation among
the native inhabitants. The Romans, to enslave and
subdue the natives, appointed petty kings, for whom
they (the Komans) coined money, some of much finer
work than those struck by native artists.
Near Parley Heath, about ten years since, several
gold coins were found, four of which are figured at
p. 70, vol. i. " Surrey Archaeological Collections,'* being
Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, on plate. They are of fine work, differ-
ing from each other in minute particulars, yet according
in weight and quality.
The coins of Epaticcus, Nos. 5 and 6 in the accom-
panying engraving, are of exquisite workmanship and
finish, quite equal to the £;oman coins of the same
period.
Some very interesting and rare specimens have, within
the last few years, been discovered in the neighbourhood
of Reigate. The most so are two in gold ; one similar
to Ruding, plate 1, No. 7 ; the other, unpublished,
weighing 83 grains, one side convex and plain ; on the
other side, which is in remarkable preservation, appears
the horse galloping to the left, with certain symbols in
the field. This coin is singular in two respects — ^as
having so well-formed a horse in conjunction with a
plain or nearly plain obverse, and in having above the
horse a clenched hand, apparently holding a branch. A
hand below the horse is not uncommon in Gaulish
coins.
The class of gold coins to which this piece belongs
was current both in Gaul and Britain. I am indebted
to Mr. Way, by whom these two coins were obtained
from the finders, for the notice of and information
respecting them.
The numismatic world is greatly indebted to John

Evans, Esq., E.S.A., for his able and persevering re-
searches in this branch of its study. He found the
Ancient British Series a disjointed, neglected chaos ; by
his labour and intelligence he has reduced it almost into
chronological order from the period of Tasciovanus and
Comius.

ELIAS ASHMOLE, HIS HOUSE AND LANDS
AT SOUTH LAMBETH.
In a letter from G. R. CORNER, Esq., F.S.A., to JOSHUA
W. BUTTERWORTH, Esa., F.S.A.
BEAD AT THl OENEBAL MBBTINa HELD AT LAMBETH PALACE, 81 ST OOTOBEB, 1856.
Dear Sir, — I send you for inspection at the meeting
of the Surrey Archaeological Society, which His Grace
the Archbishop of Canterbury has been so good as to
permit us to hold at his palace of Lambeth, 4hree deeds
executed by Elias Ashmole, the celebrated antiquary and
natural philosopher, the first of which is a conveyance
from Robert Siderfin, of the Middle Temple, gentleman,
brother and heir of Thomas Siderfin, late of the Middle
Temple, esquire (the author of Siderfin's Reports), to
John Dugdale, of Coventry, esquire (son of Sir William
Dugdale, and brother of Ashmole's wife), of a moiety
of a house, garden, and orchard, at South Lambeth, in
trust for Ashmole, and such person or persons as he
should appoint by deed or will; and the others are a
lease and release, being a settlement made by Ashmole
of the entirety of the same house, garden, and orchard,
with other lands at South Lambeth, on his third wife,
Elizabeth (daughter of Sir William Dugdale) •
The first deed is dated 14th July, 34th Charles II.,
1682 : and it appears from that deed that Ashmole
had obtained a ternr of 500 years in a moiety of the
LANDS AT SOUTH LAMBETH. 19
house, garden, and orchard, by assignment from Eebecca
Blackamore, of London, widow, dated the 26th of
September, 1681; and that the freehold reversion which
was vested in Henry Wickham, of Ipswich, Clerk, had
been conveyed by him to Thomas Siderfin, a trustee
nominated by Ashmole ; which trust by the deed before
us was transferred to John Dugdale. This deed is exe-
cuted by Robert Siderfin and Elias Ashmole, and duly
attested ; but the seals are broken, and they consist
merely of lumps of wax covered with paper and showing
no impression.
The lease and release are dated 25th and 26th June,
2nd James II., a.d. 1686 ; and the release is made
between Elias Ashmole, of South Lambeth, Esquire, of
the one part, and Sir John Dugdale, of the City of
Coventry, Knt., and William Thursby, of the Middle
Temple, Esquire, of the other part; and thereby the
said Elias Ashmole conveyed to Sir John Dugdale and
Thursby, "All that messuage or tenement, together with
a parcel of land or orchard thereto belonging, containing
by estimation one acre, and a close or parcel of land
with a barn or stable thereon, called 'Smith's Close,'
containing by estimation two acres and a half; and a
close called ' Eorty-pence,' containing by estimation one
acre, and another piece of land containing by estimation
four acres, lying in South Lambeth field, and a close
containing by estimation two acres and a half, called
' Part of the Eive Acres,' and another close called
* Thorpe Close,' containing by estimation nine acres ; all
lying within the liberties, precincts, or territories of
South Lambeth, alias ' Lambe-hithe,' in the county of
Surrey; and then or late were in the tenure or occu-
pation of Richard Nightingall, his under-tenants or
assigns : To hold the same to Sir John Dugdale and

Thursby, their heirs and assigns, To the use of Elias
Ashmole for his life ; and after his decease, To the use
of Elizabeth, his wife, for her life, in part of her jointure;
and after her decease. To the use of the said Elias
Ashmole, his heirs and assigns, for ever."
The lease and release are both executed by Ashmole,
and duly attested, and the seals are attached ; but they,
like those of the other deed, being mere lumps of wax
covered with thin paper, show no impression.
It is well known that Ashmole became the possessor
of the museum of natural history formed by the Trades-
cants at South Lambeth,^ of which acquisition I find the
following account in the memoir of Ashmole, in the
" Biographia Britannica:" — "He had lodged and boarded
sometimes at a house in South Lambeth, kept by Mr.
John Tradescant, whose father and himself had been
physic gardeners there for many years, and had collected
a vast number of curiosities, which, after mature delibe-
ration, Mr. Tradescant and his wife determined to
bestow on Mr. Ashmole, and accordingly sealed and
delivered a deed of gift for that purpose on the 16th of
December, 1659."
This collection of the Tradescants was the, foundation
of the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, which was pre-
^ Ashmole wrote and published a catalogue of this collection, under
the title of "Musseum Tradescantianum ; or, a Collection of Rarities
preserved at South Lambeth, neer London, by John Tradescant.

Brooke, at the Angel, in Cornhill. mdclvi."

sented by Ashmole to the university in 1682 ; but it
does not appear that the house and land comprised in
the deeds before us had ever belonged to the Tradescants,
whose name is not mentioned in any of the deeds in my
possession, even as occupiers ; but it does appear that
by an indenture dated the 4th of May, 2nd James II.,
1686, and by a fine levied in pursuance thereof, John
Plumer, of Gray's Inn, Gentleman, and Mary, his wife,
in consideration of £600, conveyed to Elias Ashmole the
house, orchard, and land, which he afterwards settled on
Mrs. Ashmole; and which are therein stated to have
belonged theretofore to John Hartwell, son and heir of
Abraham Hartwell, and to have been devised or conveyed
by the said John Hartwell to John Plumer, Gentleman,
father of the said John Plumer, of Gray's Inn.
Anthony Wood says that "after Mr. Ashmole's death,
Ms widow, Elizabeth, who seemed to have a great love
and fondness for her husband (which was sometimes
before company expressed), married a lusty man, called
' Reynolds,' a stone-cutter, but had no issue by him."
In a settlement, however, made after the marriage of
Mrs. Ashmole with Mr. Reynolds, dated 19th April,
1695, he is described as a merchant, and that settlement
comprises " All that messuage, or mansion-house, with
the gardens, orchards, and courts, situate at South
Lambeth, and late in the tenure or occupation of the
said Elias Ashmole." This property, after the death of
Elizabeth Dugdale (in April, 1701), became the property
of her husband, Mr. Reynolds, and was by him settled
on his subsequent marriage with Mildred Prowde, of
Stepney, Widow, by deed dated 16th September, 1st
Anne, 1702.
Ashmole' s house was not the same that had been
Tradescant's, but it appears from his diary, that twelve
22 ELIAS ASHMOLE^ HIS HOUSE AND
years after the death of John Tradescant, viz. in 1674,
Ashmole purchased or rented a house at South Lambeth,
adjoining to that in which Mrs. Tradescant, the widow,
resided; and after her death in 1678, he obtained a
lease of her house in addition to his own.
Ashmole's house has been much altered and modern-
ized, but the staircase and some of the rooms are
probably much as he left them. It is now called Turret
House, and is situate on the south-east side of the South
Lambeth Boad from Vauxhall to Stockwell, near to
Stockwell Green, and is now the residence of John
MiUs Thome, Esq.^
I annex some extracts from Ashmole' s diary, which I
have collected together as relating, more or less, to his
house and property at South Lambeth, and his connection
with the Tradescants, and which on that account may not
be considered out of place here, although they are from a
printed and published work.
I remain, dear Sir,
Yours very sincerely,

^ When Tradescant's collection came into Ashmole's possession, he
built a noble room to contain it, and adorned the chimney with his
arms, impaling those of Sir William Dagdale, &ther of his third wife.
There are no remains of this room, nor of the coat of arms ; but from a
woodcut of the south side of the house, there appears to have been a
shield over one of the windows on that side. Dr. Ducarel resided in
the adjoining house, which had been Tradescant's. See his ^* Letter to
Dr. Watson on the Early Cultivation of Botany in England. London :

JExtract% from the Diary of Mias Ashmoley relating to
the Tradescants, and to his residence and property at
South Lambeth.
1650. June 15th. Myself, my wife, and Dr. Wharton went to visit
Mr. John Tradescant, at South Lambeth.
1652. I and my wife tabled this summer at Mr. Tradescant's.
Augt. 2nd. I went to Maidstone Assizes to hear the witches tried,
and took Mr. Tradescant with me.
Sept. 11th. Toung John Tradescant died.
15th. He was buried in Lambeth churchyard by his grandfather.
October 20th. My wife went again to Mr. Tradescant's to stay some
time there.
1653. January 17. My wife lefl Mr. Tradescant's, and came to
Mr. FHnt's.
1659. December 12. Mr. Tradescant and his wife told me they had
been long considering upon whom to bestow their closet of curiosities
when they died, and at last had resolved to give it unto me.
14th. This afbemoon they gave their scrivener instructions to draw
a deed of gift of the said closet to me.
16th. 5 hor. 30 min. post merid. Mr. Tradescant and his wife sealed
and delivered to me a deed of gifb of all his rarities.
1662. April 22. Mr. John Tradescant died.
This Easter Term I preferred a Bill in Chancery against Mrs. Trades-
cant for the rarities her husband had settled on me.
1664. May 18. My cause came to hearing in Chancery against
Mrs. Tradescant.^
^ It would seem that Ashmole was rather hasty in filing a bill in
Chancery against Mrs. Tradescant within a month after her husband's
death ; but there was a reason for it. It appears from the bill that
Ashmole had written and printed, at his own expense, a descriptive
catalogue of the contents of the Museum, called ''Musseum Trades-
cantianum." The Deed of Gift is dated December 16, 1659, and is
expressed to be in consideration of the entire affection and singular
good esteem in which Mr. Tradescant held Mr. Ashmole, who, he had
no doubt, would preserve and augment the said rarities for posterity ;
and it assigned the collection, consisting of books, coins, medals, stones,
pictures, mechanics, and other things, to Ashmole ; with a proviso that
Mr. Tradescant and his wife should have the use and enjoyment of
them during their respective lives. Mr. Ashmole agreed to pay £100

1666. October llth. 1 hor. 30 min. post merid. My first boatfal
of bookSj which were carried to Mrs, Tradescant's the 3rd September
(the second day of the great fire of London), were brought back to the
Temple.4
18th. 4 post merid. All the rest of my things were brought thence
to the Temple.
1669. April 15th. Mr. Rose, the King's gardener, and myself went
to Mrs. Tradescant's, and thence to Captain Eorster's, at South Lambeth,
where I first was acquainted with him.
to Mary Edmonds, or to her children if she should not be living, when
he should come into possession ; and possession was given to him by the
delivery to him of a milled Queen Elizabeth's shilling, which Mrs. Trades-
cant herself went upstairs to fetch, and she witnessed the deed by her
own signature ; but she requested to be allowed to retain it, in order to
consult some friends whether she had thereby prejudiced her own right
to possess the articles, after her husband's death, during her own life; and
she never returned the deed to Ashmole : and after her husband's death
she disputed the validity of it, and alleged that it was obtained by
unfair means, that it was a voluntary deed, made without adequate
consideration, and therefore that it was void or revocable by her hus-
band, and that he had in fact revoked it by his will, whereby he had
bequeathed the collection of curiosities to her, on condition that, at her
death, she would leave them to one of the Universities of Oxford or
Cambridge j that she had determined to leave them to Oxford j and she
said that the Universities ought to be defendants in the suit. By the
decree, dated May 18, 1664, the Lord Chancellor declared that the deed
had been fairly obtained by Ashmole, and without any undue practices ;
that it had been made for a sufficient consideration, and that it should
be established ; and he directed a commission to issue to Sir Edward
Byshe, Clarenceux, and William Dugdale, Esq., Norroy, to take an
inventory of the collection, that the defendant should carefully preserve
the articles during her life, and give security for the delivery of them to
the plaintiff at her death.
* It is remarkable that Ashmole's library, which was brought from
the Temple to South Lambeth, for its preservation frotn the great fire
of London in September, 1666, should have been destroyed by a fire in
the Temple on the 26th January, 1678, which consumed not only his
books, but also a collection of 9,000 ancient and modem coins, and his
collection of seals, charters, and other antiquities ; but his manuscripts
escaped, being at his house at Lambeth.

ON THE CHURCHWAEDENS' ACCOUNTS,
AND OTHER RECORDS RELATING TO THE
PARISHES OE SEAL AND ELSTEAD, IN THE
COUNTY OE SURREY.
By WILLIAM HENRY HART, Esq., F.SA.
BEAD AT THB AITNTTAL OENEBAL MEETIKO, HELD AT FABNHAH OABTLE, JULT 18, 1858.
The parishes of Seal and Elstead, in this county, are
but so hriefly descanted upon in the history of Manning
and Bray, that a few observations on some features of
interest which relate to these localities, and which are
derived from hitherto almost unworked sources, may not
be unacceptable to the meeting now assembled. These
materials consist of a valuable set of Churchwardens'
accounts, and other records of these parishes, which, by
the kind permission of Henry Lawes Long, Esq., in
whose possession these volumes now remain, I am
enabled to exhibit to this meeting, and to call attention
to some of the more remarkable entries therein.
The accounts of Seal parish commence in the year
1559, the first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth ; so
that we pass over that important era in our ecclesiastical
history when the Catholic Church in England rejected
the authority of the bishop of Rome, and reasserted her
independence and her catholicity, irrespective of any
foreign diocese. Had these accounts extended farther
back, we should doubtless have seen many curious
28 ACCOUNTS AND EECOEDS RELATING TO
entries relative to this change ; but, fortunately, I can
from other sources supply the deficiency to some extent;
namely, by giving the lists of the church ornaments in
the time of Edward VI., both for this parish as well as
for that of Elstead ; the nature and occasion of which
documents it will be expedient briefly to explain.
In the course of the reign of Edward VI., various
commissions were issued for the purpose of taking
surveys and inventories of the goods, plate, jewels,
vestments, bells, and other ornaments belonging to all
the churches, chapels, brotherhoods, guilds, or frater-
nities within the realm, in order that the same might be
safely kept and placed in charge of proper persons ready
to answer for the same to the Crown.
In the sixth year of his reign another commission
was issued, wherein the commissioners were directed to
make perfect inventories of the goods, comparing them
with the former inventories, and to make inquiry by
oath or otherwise of all such property as might be
concealed or embezzled, and to certify their proceedings
to the Privy Council. And another commission, issued
shortly afterwards, gives further power for the same
purpose, and specifies what ornaments are to be allowed
to be retained for the administration of the holy
communion : thus, in every cathedral or collegiate
church, where chalices " be remayning," there were to
be left one or two chalices, at the discretion of the
commissioners; and in every great parish one or two
chalices, and in every small parish one chalice to be left.
And after leaving " the honest and comely fumyture of
coverynges for the communyon table and surples or
surplesses for the mynyster or mynysters in the said
churches or chapells," the commissioners were directed to
distribute to the poor the residue of the linen ornaments
THE FAEISHES OP SEAL AND ELSTEAD. 29
and implements of the said churches ; and they were to
sell all copes, vestments, altar-cloths, and other orna-
ments, not appointed by the commission to be left ; and
also to sell to the use of the Crown, by weight, all parcels
or pieces of metal, except the metal of " greatt bell
saunse bells " in every of the churches.
Under these commissions returns were made for the
parishes of Seal and Elstead.
I will now read the inventory for Seal Church : —

Itin ij Crosse cloithes,

All that lackinge of the former invitorie were stolen bie thevis
when the Churche was robbid.
But we will now return to the Churchwardens'
Accounts.
The first account appears to be imperfect : it is headed
" The reconynge and accompt made by John Skynner to
Willm Cranlye for charges laide out for tymber worke
for the bowse before Mychelmas 1559 and from the
same feaste untill Michelmas then next following;**
and it contains payments to the " tymber hewers and
for ther meate and drinck," two shillings ; to " ye
sawyers for sawinge and for ther meate & drinck,'' two
shillings ; and various payments to thatchers, for their
work, and also for their meat and drink, or board, which
30 ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS RELATING TO
seems to have been always supplied to them. The
thatcher was paid four shillings and sixpence for seven
days' work ; and three and fourpence for board during
the same period ; and he appears to have employed
females to assist in the work, for there is a payment
"for V dayes worke to his maydens xxd. ;" and their
board, "ijs. vjd.** This account is continued until the
year 1564, when it closes abruptly.
In the year 1588 the accounts are resumed, and they
then continue with some few interruptions to the year
1723. I purpose calling your attention to the more
remarkable of the entries in these documents, as formingi
historical notices of these parishes deducible from no
other source; and for this purpose it will be more con-
venient to classify the subjects as much as possible,
rather than to follow the strict chronological order of
the accounts themselves.
And first the bells : —
They appear to have been a continual source of
expense; for in every account there is some entry
relative to their repair, or that of the bell-ropes, and
such-like. In 1588 there is a payment of twelve pence
to " Jhon Jure for kepinge the belles ;" in 1589, fourteen
pence for a new bell-rope ; in 1590, twelve pence for a
new bell-rope and nails ; in 1591, twenty-two pence for
two new bell-ropes ; twelve pence for ringing "when her
Majestye came to Famam ;" two pence to John Turner
for ringing ; eight pence " in expenses upon the corona-
tion day in drinke to the ringers ;" and three pence for
iron about the bells ; in 1592, two pence for iron- work
about the bells ; and three shillings and eight pence for
three new bell-ropes ; in 1593, three shillings and six
pence "to the carpinter for mendinge the bells three
THE PABISHES OF SEAL AND ELSTEAD. 31
dales worke ; " fourteen pence for " ironworke and
nailes," and ten pence " for charges at the mendinge of
the bells in bread and drinke;" in 1594, two pence */for
a elect that mended the stocke of the little bell;" and
two shillings and sixpence for three new bell-ropes, and
two pence "for mending of the goodgin of y*' lyttle bell;"
seven pence "for whitt Lether at Parnam Payre to mend
the bels bandreks ;" ten pence " to a carpinter for one
dayes work mending the bells against the coronation
daye ;" and six pence " for breade & drinke for the ringers
the coronation day at night ;" in 1596, twelve pence for
a new bell-rope, and two shillings and three pence " for
ringers on the coronation day iij men ixd. a pesse;" in
1597, fourteen pence for a new bell-rope ; four pence for
mending a bell-rope, and one penny for soap to dress the
bells; in 1599, twelve pence for " thonglether " and
mending the ropes; in 1602, two shillings to ringers
upon the coronation day, and two shillings and sixpence
for two new ropes and a rope for the " sante " bell ; in
1603, two shillings for mending the clapper of the great
bell, and five pence for drink for the ringers on the
coronation day; in 1604, sixteen pence to the smith
for iron-work about the bells ; and then a somewhat
strangely worded item : "Item for ringeng for the king
and grese for the bell roppes, vd.;" Shortly after this
the bells appear to have been all re-cast at Ockingham,
for, in the account of 1606 we have an item — "p^ to the
Bellfounder for newe castinge of the bells and all
charges belonginge thereunto as smyths work and
carpinters and suche like; vti. js. ixd.;" and in 1607,
"Item Laide out at Okengam when wee caried the
Bells, ixs. vjd.," and again eleven shillings "at Okein-
game when the bell was cast;" and ten shillings for
32 ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS RELATING TO
carrying and recarrying the bells ; also " p"^ to the bel-
founder for mettall y* he put into the bell xiijti. at yjd.
a pound, — ^vjs. yjd."
In 1637, three shillings and sixpence "for beere for the
•ringers on the day of the king beginning of his Raigne;"
and two shillings and six pence " Laid out for beer for
the riDgers on the thanksgiving day."
In 1686, eight shillings "for beere for the ringers
on crownation day."
In 1688, eight shillings "for beer on the thanksgiving
day for the birth of the yong Prince;" and seven
shillings and six pence "for beer when the King and
Qeene were crowned."
In 1694, two shillings and sixpence "Layde oute
uppone the ryngears when the kynge came horn." And
thus much for the expenses relating to the bells.
If we take these accounts as a correct gmde, which
within certain limits we are bound to do, the holy
communion would appear to have been administered in
this church but very few times in the year: thus, in
1588, we meet with only three entries of the expenses
incurred in providing bread and wine for that purpose ;
VIZ.,
In p'mis Laide out for breade and wyne at East
for the Comunion ijs. xd.
For bread and wyne fit Hallewtide ij s^ jd.
Item for bread and wine at Candelmas and
Shrov Sundaye for the Communion ijs. jd.
In 1589, provision of bread and wine is made at
Easter and Hallowtide only ; in 1590, at Easter alone.
In 1591 the account states the quantity of wine pur-
chased : —
In p^mis for breade and wyne at Easter, a
gallon, lackinge halfe a pynte ijs. viijd.
THE PABISHES OF SEAL AND ELSTEAD. 33
And again at Hallowtide, eighteen pence for the same
purpose.
In 1692, and for several years following, the only
occasions on which there appears to have been a com-
munion are Candlemas, Easter, Midsummer, Hallow-
tide, and Bartholomewtide ; hut in the account for 1609
we find the first departure from this rule, when there is
a communion on Palm Sunday ; and the account for
1611 plainly denotes an improvement; and that, from
some cause or other (a change of clergyman possibly),
greater care than before was shewn for the more fre-
quent and orderly administration of this sacred rite,
for there was a communion on Easter Eve, and two
shillings were expended for mats for the communi-
cants, and eight shillings "for a Table Clothe and
Prenge."
In 1618 the communion is again mentioned on Palm
Sunday, Easter Eve, and Easter Sunday, and in 1634
Good Priday occurs, and again in 1639.
In 1639 sixteen pence was laid out for " a matt laid
at the railes in the chancell."
In 1645 there is a perfect list of all the communicants
within the parish that year. The number is about one
hundred and thirty.
In 1590 are the following charges concerning the
surplice : —
Itm for sixe elles of holland to make the surplusse,
at xxd. the ell xs.
For cutting of the surplusse ij d.
For two penyworthe of white threede ij d.
Itin for making of the surplusse xij d.
In 1602,—

This item is frequently repeated in the succeeding
accounts. In 1639 a new surplice was had : —
Paid for Cloth for the Surplesse and for thread
to make it xxxijs. yjd.
Paid for making the Surplesse ij s.
The festivities of Whitsuntide, which it was formerly
the custom of the country people to celebrate under
the name of Whitsun Ales, or as they are called in
these accounts "Church Ales," met with their due
observance in this parish. Prom the large quantity of
wine which was sometimes charged for under the head
of bread and wine for the communion, it seems probable
that some of it must have been expended in some other
way, and that doubtless in the way of feasting and
revelry on the great holidays of the Church. We find,
however, among these documents, two separate accounts
of the Church Ale furnished at the expense of the
parish ; one in 1592, the other in 1611 ; and as they
aflPbrd minute and interesting particulars of the pro-
ceedings, I will extract them verbatim.

Having thus gone through these accounts under the
principal heads, we will now glance at a few miscel-
laneous entries.
In 1691, five shillings and five pence to the painter
for painting the Ten Commandments.
In 1595, six pence was paid towards a brief for one
Jacomo Myleita, " an outlandish man."
In 1596, three shillings and six pence for " a newe
booke of Comon Praier bought at London;" and also
four pence "for a lityll Praier w''^ is to be redd in the

In 1598, fourteen pence to Harry Hathome "for a
boorde and mendinge the pulpett, one dales worke;"
three shillings and six pence for a new book of homilies,
and twelve pence for the head of a fox.
In 1603, five shillings were paid for a new chest for
the church, also six shillings " for iij lockes for the new

in the year 1596 ; the first for the prosperous success of her Majesty's
Forces and Navy ; the other a " prayer of thanksgiving, and for con-

occasional forms of prayer set forth in the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
published by the Parker Society, pp. 665 and 668.

"for painting the Kinges Armes in the chnrche, &
suche like." With regard to this practice, now happily
unknown, of setting up the royal arms in churches,
considerahle diversity of opinion has prevailed as to its
origin, some contending that it was in obedience to an
express law or regulation (though this has never been
produced), others that it was merely in accordance with
a general custom which had grown up insensibly, and
obtained many adherents in the land. It seems, how-
ever, to be the better opinion that there never was any
express law enjoining the practice ; but that the royal
arms thus set up were always considered part of the
architectural ornaments or decorations of the church, in
the same manner as the cross on the chancel screen
is now considered by the judges, in the case of the
Knightsbridge churches to be part of the architectural
ornaments. They were sometimes emblazoned in one of
the painted windows. Instances have occurred of the
royal arms being set up in a church before the Refor-
mation ; so that we cannot conclude, as some are inclined
to do, that their exhibition in a church was an assertion
of the supremacy of the crown, because that was not
complete until the Reformation, In course of time,
however, these insignia began to assume a more pro-
minent position in the church, and during the last
century were frequently placed over the chancel arch,
almost to the overshadowing of the altar, a practice not
more indecent and unbecoming in itself than character-
istic of the age ; for it was indicative of the proneness
of the national mind to that Erastianism which was
rapidly creeping over the face of the Church, and from
which, after a century of lifelessness and torpor, we are
only now emerging.
In 1606, twenty pence " for the bookes of Canons and
38 ACCOUNTS AND BECORDS RELATING TO

persons, those who had met with loss by fire or by sea,
poor travellers, Irish men and women, and others ; but
in this year (1636) we find a clerical recipient of the
parish bounty, thus : —

In 1637 seven shillings were expended for seven
foxes' heads, and again, in 1694, two shillings for the
same purpose.

The same year eight pence " for an houre glasse for

In 1668, eleven shillings were paid "for the Ten

Throughout the earlier of these accounts there occurs
an item which, as we proceed onwards gradually, and,
at last, totally disappears ; namely, that of the expense
of making the transcripts of the registers for the dio-
cesan registry. In too many parishes has it been the
custom entirely to forget this most salutary and whole-
some regulation, and I cannot speak too strongly of this
neglect, because at the present day we are often made to
feel its effects, and to suffer the loss of information
which we have no other way of supplying.
Parish registers are among the most valuable records
we possess ; but they have in their time been treated in
a manner which can only be described as most pitiable,
they have been tossed about between parson, clerk, and
sexton, till they have sometimes spent their last hours
either in helping to singe the goose or light the fire of
one of those worthies; and the transcript not being
transmitted to the diocesan registry, we are now obliged
to be content often to allow an historical or genealogical
doubt to remain in its uncertainty, or even to relinquish
a legal claim because the required evidence is lost to us
for ever.
following these churchwardens' accounts are the
accounts of the overseers of the poor, under the act of
the 43rd year of Queen Elizabeth; they commence in
the year 1603 and contain particulars of the collection
of the poor rate, and also its expenditure in its various
items, many of which are^ curious, as entering into the
minutiae of details, such as the following from the
account for the year 1607 : —

The name of Underwood appears on these accounts
for a long time ; viz., from 1607 to 1629, when he died
an old man, and during that period he received relief
and assistance every year, the particulars of which are
all set down, so that a small history even of this obscure
pauper might be written.

The account for 1632 is worthy of remark, as hearing
a very perfect signature of the father of one whose
name is always to be held in veneration and respect
in this county, the illustrious John Evelyn ; the remem-
brance of whose character, as an English gentleman of
the most polished taste and the highest feeling, will
ever be most dearly cherished.

Bichard Evelyn, whose autograph we have here, signs
this account, together with Richard Onslow, hoth of
whom were justices of the peace.
The account for 1634 is noticeahle in this respect, as
containing almost the first entry relative to the expenses
incurred hy the overseers in maintaining those children,
who, from the circumstances of their birth, were a
burden to the parish ; and it closes with a testimony to
the prevailing superstition which, in the hour oi sick-
ness, placed its dependence on the supposed virtue of
the royal touch ; thus, —
To WilPm Giles for his charitie and travell to
London w* Widowe Hilles children to be
cured of the Eing^s evill, by a rate for that
cause made by the p'ishe^ as appears under
divers of their hands ix s.
In the account for 1635 are various other expenses
concerning illegitimate children ; thus, —
Layed out to the Widdow Huntingford for
keeping of a base bom child from the

At the end of these accounts are a few proclamations
for general fasts and other matters, which were directed
and sent to the clergyman and churchwardens of Seal
for their guidance.
I will now proceed to Elstead parish.

The churchwardens accounts for Elstead parish are not
so numerous as those for Seal, neither do they extend
over so long a period, inasmuch as they cover only about
ten years; but they relate to the troublous times of
Charles the Pirst and the Commonwealth, and are, on
that account, interesting.
They commence with a charge of five shillings, dated
Nov. 10, 1652, for setting up the states arms; then

from Elstead parish towards the expenses of maintaining
the garrison at Pamham Castle, Sir Thomas .Fairfax's
army, the Scottish army, and the militia. These pay-
ments begin May 1st, 1644, and are continued to the
year 1654.

ON SOME OP THE ANCIENT INNS OE
SOUTHWAHK.
By GEORGE R. CORNER, Esq., F.S.A.
BEAD AT THE GENEBAL MEETIXa HELD IN SOUTHWABE, 12tH MAT, 1858.
" Shall I not take my ease in mine Inn ? "
Henry /F., Part I., act 3, sa 3.
The borougli of Southwark, more especially the High-
street, having for so many ages been the only entrance
into London from Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, and the
chief road to and from Erance, and the shrine of St.
Thomas a Becket at Canterbury, to which, in times
before the Heformation, pilgrims resorted by thousands
every year, it is not surprising that the Borough became
celebrated for its inns, which, from the accommodation
they aflFbrded to travellers, brought no inconsiderable
profit to the inhabitants of this part of the metropolis.
Honest John Stow, in his "Survey of London" (first
published in 1598), says : " Erom thence (the Marshal-
sea) towards London-bridge, on the same side, be many
fair inns for receipt of travellers, by these signs : — the
Spurre, Christopher, Bull, Queen's Head, Tabard, George,
Hart, King's Head, &c."
Of these inns mentioned by the old chronicler, the
Spur, the Queen's Head, the Tabard (now called the
Talbot), the George, the White Hart, and the King's
Head still exist as inns for travellers ; and it is of three
INNS OF SOUTHWABK. 51
of those hostelries, and of a few others in this borough,
that I propose to give some account : and first, as the
most celebrated, although not now maintaining its an-
cient character, I will tell you what I have been able to
collect about
THE TABARD INN, SOUTHWARK.
So much has been written of this celebrated hostelry,
that the subject may be supposed to have been ex-
hausted, and it may be considered presumptuous to
attempt to tell anything, not already known, of the inn
renowned in Chaucer's verse, as the place where he and
the nine-and-twenty pilgrims met, and agreed to enliven
their pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Thomas k Becket
at Canterbury, by reciting tales to shorten the way.
Nevertheless, the subject is so interesting, that a collec-
tion of facts relating to " The Tabard " and its jovial
host, whom Chaucer represents as not only merry him-
self, but the cause of mirth in others, may not be
unacceptable ; especially as some few particulars, not yet
in print, have been discovered, and will add something
to the general interest of the subject.
The date of the Canterbury Pilgrimage is generally
supposed to have been the year 1883; and Chaucer,
after describing the season of Spring, says : —
" Befelle, that in that seson, on a day,
In Southwerk, at the Tabard as I lay,
Efedy to wenden on my pilgrimage
To Canterbury, with devoute corage,
At night was come into that hostelrie
"Well nine-and-twenty in a compagnie
Of sondry folk, by aventure yfalle
In felawship ; and pilgrimes were they alle.
That toward Canterbury wolden ride.
The chambres and the stables weren wide,
E 2
52 ON SOME OP THE ANCIENT
And wel we weren esed atte beste,
And shortly, whan the sonne was gon to reste,
So hadde I spoken with hem everich on
That I was of hir felawship anon,
And made for word erly for to rise,
To take oure way ther as I you devise."
Lines 19 to 29.
" The Tabard " is again mentioned in the following
lines : —
" In South werk at this gentil hostelrie,
That highte the Tabard, faste by the Belle."
Lines 720, 721.
" The Tabard *' was the property of the Abbot of Hyde,
near Winchester, who had his town residence within
the inn-yard ; and the earliest record that I have been
able to meet with relating to the property is in the
33rd Edward I., a.d. 1304;^ when the Abbot and Con-
vent of Hyde purchased of William de Lategareshall
two houses in Southwark, held of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, by the annual rent of 5«. l^rf., and suit to
his court in Southwark, and Id. a year for a purpresture
of one foot wide on the king's highway ; £4 per annum
to John de Tymberhuth, and Ss. to the prior and convent
of St. Mary Overie, in Southwark. Value clear, 40^.^
On the 6th August, 1307, the Abbot of Hyde had a
licence from the Bishop of Winchester for a chapel at
his hospitium, in the parish of St. Margaret, South-
wark/
^ Two tenements will appear to have been conveyed by "William de
Ludegarsale to the Abbot, <kc., de Hida juxta Winton in 1306, and
which are described in a former conveyance, therein recited, as extending
in length "a com muni fossato de Suthwerke versus orientem, usque
Regiam viam de Suthwerke versus oocidentem." — Registrum de Hydey

The jovial host of "The Tahard," who proposed that
each of the pilgrims should tell a tale on the journey to
Canterbury, is thus described by Chaucer : —
''A semelj man our hoste was with alle,
For to ban ben a marshal in an halle ;
A large man he was, with eyen stcpe,
A &irer burgeis is ther non in Chepe ;
Bold of his speche, and wise and wel ytaught,
And of manhoqd him lacked righte naught.
Eke therto was he right a mery man."
Liriea 753 to 759.
And we have the host's name in the Prologue to the
Cook's Tale, to whom
" Our hoste auswerd, and sayde, ' I grant it thee :
Kow tell on, Koger, and loke that it be good,
For many a pastee hast thou letten blood,
And many a jacke of Dover hast thou sold,
That hath been twies hot and twies cold.
« « * * *
l^ow tell on, gentil Koger, by thy name.
But yet, I pray thee, be not wroth for game ;
A man may say ful soth in game and play.'
* Thou sayst ful soth,' quod Roger, * by my fay j
But soth play guade spd, as the Fleming saith :
And therfore, HeiTy Bailly, by thy faith
Be thou not wroth, or we departen here.
Though that my tale be of an hosteler©.' "
Litiea 4342 to 4358.
Henry Bailly, the host of " The Tabard," was not
improbably a descendant of Henry Pitz Martin, of the
borough of Southwark, to whom King Henry III., by
letters-patent dated 30th September in the 50th year
of his reign, at the instance of William de la Zouch,
granted the customs of the town of Southwark during
the king's pleasure, he paying to the exchequer the
annual fee-farm rent of £10 for the same.
By that grant Henry Pitz Martin was constituted
54 ON SOME OF THE AKCIENT
bailiff of Southwark, and he would thereby acquire the
name of Henry the Bailiff, or le Bailly.
But be this as it may, it is a fact, on record, that
Henry Bailly, the hosteller of " The Tabard," was one
of the burgesses who represented the borough of South-
wark, in the parliament held at Westminster, in the
50th Edward III., a.d. 1376; and he was again re-
turned to the parliament held at Gloucester, in the
2nd Richard II„ a.d. 1378.
We cannot read Chaucer's description of the host
without acknowledging the likelihood of his being a
popular man among his fellow-townsmen, and one likely
to be selected for his fitness to represent them in parlia-
ment. His identity is further corroborated by the fol-
lowing extract from the Subsidy B/oU of 4th Richard II.,
1380, dorso,—
Henr^ BayliflF, Ostyler, Xpian, Ux\ eius ij«.
from which record it appears that Henry Bayliff,
hosteller, and Christian his wife, were assessed to the
subsidy at two shillings.
Of the wife of our host, Chaucer has given us a very
imfavourable character, in the words of her lord ; unless
they are to be understood as said in jest, rather than in
sober truth ; for after the Merchant's tale, which is of a
bad wife, he makes the host to say, —
'< I have a wif^ though that she poure be ;
But of hire tonge a labbing shrewe is she ;
And yet she hath an hepe of vices mo,
Therof no force ; let all swiche thinges go.
But wete ye what ? in counseil be it seyde,
Me reweth sore I am unto hire teyde ;
For and I shulde rekene every vice,
Which that she hath, y wis I were to nice ;
And cause why, it shulde reported be
And told to hire of som of this compagnie,

Lines 10,301 to 10,314.
On the dissolution of the monasteries in the reign of
King Henry VIII., " The Tabard Inn/' with the Abbot
of Hyde's house in Southwark, were surrendered by
John Salcote, or Saltcote, alias Capon, the last abbot, to
the king, in April, 1538, and in 1544 were granted by
the king to John Master and Thomas Master. The
following is the description of the property in the
particulars for the grant : —
"Item certain houses in South warke, whereof one
called *The Taberd,' parcel of the possessions of the
late monastery of Hide, in the county of Southampton,
by year, as appeareth by the particular is £22. 16*. 8rf.,
which, rated at eight years' purchase, doth amount to
the sum of £182. 13*. 4d.
" Memd'. the king must discharge the buyer of one
annuity of 26*. Sd., going out of the said houses in
Southwark, to one Rauff Copwood."
"The farm of one house at London, in Southwark
aforesaid, within the hostlery called * The Taberd,' lying
on the outer part thereof, called the Abbot's Place,
and one stable, called the Abbot's Stable, with the
garden belonging to the said place, called the Abbot's
Place, which said garden lies on the west part, abutting
upon a small rough place or dung-place leading from
* The Taberd' aforesaid to the ditch which goes from the
Thames, called *le Temmes;' and on thp north part
the said garden abuts on divers small gardens adjoining
to the outer part of the sign of * St. George,' in South-
wark aforesaid, demised to John Crayford, clerk, by
&'6 ON SOME OF THE ANCIENT
indenture dated the 27th of October, 29th Henry VIII.,
for a term of four-score and ten years, paying, therefore,
at the feast of St. Michael the Archangel, 20 shillings
per annum, clear.
" The said house, and other the premises lying in
Southwark, within the suburbs of the City of London,
and builded within the sign of * The Taberd,' is in dis-
tance from the King His Majesty's house, and park,
in Southwark aforesaid, one arrow-shot, and from his
grace's Palace of Westminster, and his highness' house,
and park of St. James's in the Pyld one mile and more ;
all which premises were reserved to the late abbot and
convent of the aforesaid late monastery of Hide, now

58 ON SOME OP THE ANCIENT
The Bishop Comendator was John Saloote, Sulcot^
or Saltcoat (Saultcot on his seal, engraved in the
Monasticon), alias Capon, D.D., of the university of
Camhridge, who was translated to Hyde Abbey firom
the Abbey of Hulm in Norfolk, in 1529 : he was the
last abbot of Hyde, and as a reward for having been
instrumental in engaging his own university to comply
with the King's divorce, he was promoted, 19th April,
1534, to the bishopric of Bangor, which he obtained
leave to hold in commendam with this abbacy ; and for
his good services at the dissolution of the monasteries,
and readily yielding up his monastery to the king'a
visitors, in April, 1538, and procuring his monks,
twenty-iOne in number, to join with him in the sur-
render, he was furthermore preferred, July 31st, 1539,
to the bishopric of Salisbury, which he held for eighteen
years, where deceasing, 6th October, 1557, he was buried
in that cathedral/
As regards the name of the inn, Stow says of " The
Tabard," — " That it was so called of a jacket or sleeve-
less coat, whole before, open on both sides, with a
square collar, winged at the shoulders : a stately gar-
ment of old time, commonly worn of noblemen and
others, both at home and abroad in the wars ; but then
(to wit, in the wars) their arms embroidered or otherwise
depict upon them, that every man, by his coat of arms,
might be known from others- But now these tabards
are only worn by the heralds, and be called their coats
of arms in service."
Mr. Speght, in his edition of Chaucer (1602), after
giving a similar account of the meaning of the word
* See a memoir of him in Cooper's " Athen» CantabrigienBes," vol. i.
p. 171.
INNS OP SOUTHWARK. 59
tahardj goes on to speak of the inn so called, as " the inn
in Southwark, hy London, within the which was the
lodging of the Abhot of Hyde, by Winchester* This,"
he says, " was the hostelry where Chaucer and the other
pilgrims met together, and with Henry BaUy, their host,
accorded about the manner of their journey to Canter-
bury; and whereas through time it hath been much
decayed, it is now by Master J. Preston, with the
abbot's house thereto adjoined, newly repaired, and with
conyenient rooms much increased for the receipt of
many guests."
From this notice by Mr. Speght we learn that the
original "Tabard" was standing in 1602. It was an
ancient timber house, probably as old as "Chaucer's
time," and there is a view of it in Urry's edition of
Chaucer, which was reproduced in 1833, in vol. xxii. of
"The Mirror."^
" The Tabard " was burnt in the great fire of South-
wark which happened in 1676, of which fire I will say
more in my account of " The George Inn," because,
having but little to say about the inn itself, I shall have
more space to tell you what I know about the fire,
which destroyed that inn as well as " The Tabard," and
great part of Southwark.
" The Tabard " was within the old parish of St. Mar-
garet (now part of St. Saviour's), Southwark. Aubrey,
the historian of Surrey, in 1719 says : " The ignorant
landlord or tenant, instead of the ancient sign of * The
Tabard,' put up * The Talbot,' a species of dog, and on
the frieze of the beam supporting the sign was this

inscription : — ' This is the inn where Sir Jeflfery Chaucer
and the nine-and-twenty pilgrims lay in their journey to
Canterhury, anno 1383."
A most interesting paper on " The Tahard," hy Mr.
J. Saunders, will be found in " Knight's London,'* vol. i.
page 67.
Robert Bristow, Esq., of Broxmoor, Wiltshire, was
owner of " The Talbot Inn " in 1822.
Mr. Saunders is of opinion that part of "The Tabard,"
and that, " The Pilgrims' Hall," is still existing ; but
candour obliges me to say that, having personally
examined the premises (at some risk), there is nothing
in the now existing remains of a date earlier than the
fire of 1676. The fireplaces which he mentions in two
of the corners of the room, are not older than the reign
of King James II., and the whole of the supposed " Pil-
grims' Hall " was built after that fire.
THE GEORGE.
This is one of the inns described by Stow as existing
in his time, and it is mentioned at an earlier period;
viz. in 1554, 35th Henry VIII., by the name of the
" St. George," as being situate (as it is) on the north
side of ^* The Tabard."
I have not been able to find any notice of this inn
from the time of Stow until the seventeenth century,
when two tokens were issued from "The George," which
are in the Beaufoy Collection at the library of the
corporation of London, at Guildhall, and described in
Mr. Jacob Henry Burn's catalogue of those tokens.
The first is a token of "Anthony Blake, Tapster, y®
George in South warke ;" and on the reverse are three
tobacco-pipes ; above them, four beer-measures.
The other token is inscribed, " James Gunter 16 . ." ?

Mr. Burn quotes some lines from the "Musarum

surfeit by drinking bad sack at " The George" tavern in
Southwark.
*' Oh, would I might turne poet for an houre,

In the year 1670, " The George Inn " was, in great
part, burnt and demolished by a violent fire which then
happened in the Borough, and it was totally burnt
down in the great fire of Southwark, in 1676 ; which I
have mentioned in speaking of "The Tabard," and of
which I promised to give a further account in the
history of "The George."
Prom the records of the Court of Judicature, esta-
blished by Act of Parliament for settling differences
between landlords and tenants, and owners of adjoining
houses, in consequence of this fire, we learn that the
owner of " The George," at that time, was John Sayer,
and the tenant, Mark Weyland.
In the year 1676, ten years after the great fire of
London, a great part of Southwark, from the bridge to
St. Margaret's HiU, including the town hall, which had
been established in 1540, in the Church of St. Mar-
garet, was destroyed by a fire, which broke out in the
Borough ; and being as yet, like old London, chiefly built
of timber, lath and plaster, the fire spread extensively.
62 ON SOME or THE ANCIENT
and destroyed considerable property. After this it was
found necessary to pass an Act of Parliament for ap-
pointing a Court of Judicature, to determine differences
between owners and tenants of the houses and buildings
destroyed. The records of the proceedings under that
act are preserved at Guildhall.*
The following is an account of the fire of Southwark,
from the "London Gazette," 29th May, 1676.
*' London, May 27th. — ^Yesterday, about four in the inoming, broke
out a most lamentable fire in the Borough of Southwark, and continued
■with much violence all that day and part of the night following, not-
withstanding all the care and endeavours that were used by his Grace
the Duke of Monmouth, the Earl of Craven, and the Lord Mayor, to
quench the same, as well by blowing up of houses as other ways. His
Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, in a
tender sense of the calamity, being pleased himself to go down to the
bridge in his barge, to give such orders his Majesty found fit for putting
a stop to it, which, through the mercy of God, was filially effected, after
that about 600 houses had been burnt or blown up.**
The following is from the Diary of the Tier. John
Ward, written a few years later : —
" Gfover and his Irish ruffians burnt Southwark, and had 1000 pounds
for their pains, said the Narrative of Bedloe* Gifford, a Jesuit, had the
management of the fire. The 26th of May, 1676, was the dismal fire
of Southwark. The fire begunne att one Mr. Welsh, an oilman, neai?
St. Margaret's Hill, betwixt the 'George' and ' Talbot' innes, as Bedloe in
his ITarration relates." — Diary of the Rev, John Ward, 8vo. 1839, p. 155.
The fire was stopped by the substantial building of

St. Thomas's Hospital, then recently erected; and in
commemoration of the event, there is a tablet placed on
the great staircase, over the door of the hall or court
room, with the following inscription : —
''Upon the 26tli of May, 1676, and in the 28th year of the reign of
our Sovereign Lord King Charles the Second, about three of the clock
in the morning, over againdt St. Margaret's Hill, in the Borough of
Sonthwark, there happened a most dreadful and lamentable fire, which*
before ten of the clock at night, consumed about five hundred houses.
Bat in the midst of judgment God remembered mercy, and by his
goodness in considering the poor and distressed, put a stop to the fire
at this home, after it had been touched several times therewith, by
which, in all probability, all this side of the Borough was preserved.
This tablet is here put, that whoso readeth it may give thanks to the
Almighty God, to whom alone is due the honour and praise. Amen"
Although the present building of "The George Inn'*
is not older than the end of the seventeenth century, it
seems to have been rebuilt, after the fire, upon the old
plan, and it still preserves the character of the ancient
English inns, having open wooden galleries leading to
the chambers on each side of the inn yard.
In the year 1739, "The George Inn" was the pro-
perty of Thomas Aynescomb, Esq., of Charterhouse
Square, whose will is dated 11th May, in that year,
from whom it descended to his grand-daughter, Valen-
tina Aynescomb, who married Lillie Smith, Esq.
In 30th George II., an Act of Parliament was passed
for vesting the settled estates of Lillie Smith, Esq., and
Valentina, his wife, in trustees, to be sold. And in
1785, " The George Inn," with considerable other pro-
perty, was sold and conveyed to Lillie Smith Aynescomb,
Esq., of Thames Street, London, merchant ; and within
a few years past, it has been purchased by the trustees
of Guy*s Hospital, to which it adjoins.
64 ON SOME OP THE ANCIENT
In the conveyance of 1785, the inn is described as
having been formerly in the occupation of Mary Way-
land (probably widow of Mark Wayland, who was the
host in 1676), afterwards of William Golding; and then
of Thomas Green, who, in 1809, was succeeded by his
niece, Prances, and her husband, Westerman Schole-
field ; since whose death " The George " has been, and
is still, kept by his widow, Mrs. Trances Scholefield,
now above eighty years of age.^
THE WHITE HAKT
is one of the inns mentioned by Stow, but it possesses a
still earlier celebrity, having been the head-quarters of
Jack Cade, and his rebel rout, during their brief posses-
sion of London, in the year 1450 ; when Henry VI. was
king. And it has been immortalized by Shakespeare, in
the Second Part of his play of King Henry VI., when
a messenger enters in haste, and announces to the
king : —
*' The rebels are in Southwark. Fly, my lord !
Jack Cade proclaims himself Lord Mortimer,
Descended from the duke of Clarence' house ;
And calls your grace usurper, openly,
And vows to crown himself in Westminster."
And, again, another messenger enters and says : —
" Jack Cade hath gotten London-bridge ;
The citizens fly and forsake their houses."
Jack Cade afterwards thus addresses his followers : —
" And you, base peasants, do ye believe him ? Will you needs be
hanged with your pardons about your necks ? Hath, my sword there-
fore broke through London gates, that ye should leave me at the White
Hart in Southwark?" — Shakespea/r^s Henry YL, Part Second, act iv.
scenes 4 and 8.
Cade entered London from Blackheath, through the

Borough; and towards evening he retired to "The
White Hart," in South wark. He continued there for
some days, entering the city in the morning, and re-
turning to Southwark at night ; hut at last, his followers
committing some riot in the city, when they would have
entered they found the bridge gate shut against them ;
whereupon a battle ensued between them and the
citizens, which lasted all day, and ended, at the approach
of night, by a cessation of arms till the morrow ; but
during the night a proclamation of pardon, which was
published in the Borough, induced the great body of
Cade's followers to desert him, and he was obliged to
fly, and endeavour to conceal himself in Sussex ; where
he was soon afterwards slain by Alexander Iden, at
Hothfield.
There is a contemporary account of some of Cade's
doings in Southwark, in a letter to John Past on, Esq.,
from J. Payne, servant to Sir John Pastolf, who was
sent by his master from his house in Horselydown to
the rebels' camp at Blackheath, to obtain the articles of
their demands ; and Payne, being taken by the rebels,
was about to be beheaded, but his life was spared on the
intercession of Robert Poynings, Esq. (of Southwark,
who was engaged in the rebellion, and is mentioned as
having been carver and chief doer for Cade), and Payne
was sent back to Southwark, to array himself, under a
promise to return to the rebels. On returning home,
he counselled his master. Sir John Pastolf, to send away
the soldiers and munitions of war, which he had pro-
vided for the defence of his house at Horselydown;
which he did, and went with his men to the Tower.
Payne was seized, and taken before Cade at " The White
Hart," who ordered him to be despoiled of his array ;
and he seems to have lost all that he had ; and they
66 ON SOME OP THE ANCIENT
would have smitten off his head, but Poynings again
saved his life, and he (Payne) says : "I was put up till at
night that the battle was at London Bridge [8th July,
as the historians have it ; but by a note in one of the
Paston letters, Cade fled on the 22nd June from Black-
lieath] and then at night the Captain put me out into
the battle at the bridge, and there I was wounded and
hurt near unto death, and there I was six hours in the
battle, and might never come out thereof."
The " Chronicle of the Grey Priars " (one of the
publications of the Camden Society) records another
deed of violence committed by Cade and his followers at
this place.
"At the Whyt Harte in South warke, one Ha way dyne, of Sent
Marty ns, was beheddyd." — Chron. of Grey Fricvra, p. 19.
The " White Hart " as now existing, is not the same
building that afforded quarters to Jack Cade; for in
1669 the back part of the old inn was accidentally burnt
down, and the inn was wholly destroyed by the great
fire which happened in Southwark in 1676.
The records of the Court of Judicature inform, us
that John CoUett, Esq., was then the owner of the
property, and Eobert Taynton, executor of was
'the tenant.
" The White Hart '* appears, however, to have been
rebuilt upon the model of the older edifice, and still
realizes the descriptions which we read of the ancient
inns, consisting of one or more open courts or yards,
surrounded with open galleries, and which were fre-
quently used as temporary theatres, for acting plays
and dramatic performances in the olden time.
A popular writer of the present day, in one of his
earliest productions, has given us a capital description of
the Borough inns, and of " The White Hart " in parti-

cular, and I hope my readers will not quarrel with
me for recalling to their recollection "The Pickwick
Papers," and their old acquaintance Samuel Weller.
"In the Borough especially (says Mr. Dickens) there still remain
some half-dozen old inns, which have preserved their external features
unchanged, and which have escaped alike the rage for public improve-
ment and the encroachments of private speculation. Great, rambling,
queer old places they are, with galleries, and passages, and staircases,
wide enough and antiquated enough to furnish materials for a hundred
ghost stories It was in the yard of one of these inns — of no less
celebrated a one than 'The White Hart' — that a man was busily
employed in brushing the dirt off a pair of boots, early on the morning
succeeding the events narrated in the last chapter. He was habited in
a coarse striped waistcoat, with black calico sleeves and blue glass
buttons, drab breeches, and leggings. A bright-red handerchief was
wound in a very loose and unstudied style round his neck, and an old
white hat was carelessly thrown on one side of his head. .... The
yard presented none of that bustle and activity which are the usual
characteristics of a large coach inn. Three or four lumbering waggons,
each with a pile of goods beneath its ample canopy, about the height of
the second floor window of an ordinary house, were stowed away beneath
a lofty roof, which extended over one end of the yard ; and another, which
was probably to commence its journey that morning, was drawn out into
the open space. A double tier of bedroom galleries, with old clumsy
balustrades, ran round two sides of the straggling area, and a double
row of bells to correspond, sheltered from the weather by a little sloping
roo^ hung over the door leading to the bar and coffee-room. Two or
three gigs and chaise carts were wheeled up under different little sheds
and penthouses ; and the occasional heavy tread of a cart-horse, or
rattling of a chain at the further end of the yard, announced to anybody
who cared about the matter, that the stable lay in that direction.
When we add that a few boys in smock-frocks were lying asleep on heavy
packages, woolpacks, and other articles that were scattered about on
heaps of straw, we have described, as fully as need be, the general
appearance of the yard of * The White Hart Inn,' High Street, Borough,
on the particular morning in question."
A pictorial representation of " The White Hart Inn "
yard illustrates this scene from " The Pickwick Papers/*
chapter 10.

68 ON SOME OF THE ANCIENT
THE BOAR'S HEAD.
Southwark had its "Boar's Head'* as well as East-
cheap, and it is singular that the latter has been
rendered famous by our Immortal Bard, as one of the
scenes of the revelries of Prince Hal, and his fat friend,
Sir John Palstaff ; and that the former was the property
of Sir John Pastolf, of Caistor Castle, in Norfolk, who
also had a large house in Stoney Lane, in St. Olave's,
Southwark, and who died in 1460, possessed, among
other estates in Southwark, of one messuage in the
parish of St. Mary Magdalen (now part of St. Saviour's),
in Southwark, called "The Boreshead."®
Mr. Chalmers, in his " History of Oxford," says :
" It is ascertained that * The Boar's Head ' in South-
wark, then divided into tenements, and Caldecott manor
in Suffolk, were part of the benefactions of Sir John
Pastolf, Knt., to Magdalen College, Oxford."
Henry Wyndesore, in a letter to John Paston, dated
in August, 1459, says : " And it please you to remember
my master (Sir John Pastolf) at your best leisure,
whether his old promise shall stand as touching my
preferring to * The Boar's Head,' in Southwark. Sir,
I would have been at another place, and of my master's
own motion he said that I should set up in * The Boar's
Head.' "
Boar's Head Court was situate on the east side of the
High Street, and north of St. Thomas's Hospital, oppo-
site St. Saviour's Church ; and that court was I doubt
not the site of the old " Boar's Head Inn."
In the churchwardens' accounts of St. Olave, South-
wark, in 1614-15, I find this house mentioned thus :

Association " a rare small brass token. In the centre of

around it — "At the Bore's Head;" on the reverse

There is a similar token in the Beaufoy collection of
tradesmen's tokens, at Guildhall Library ; and Mr. Burn,
in his valuable catalogue of those tokens, refers to
the letter of Henry Wyndesore, and to the note from
Chalmers. The house in High Street, at the corner of
Boar's Head Court, and those in the court, were formerly
on lease to the father of John Timbs, Esq., P.S.A., author
of " Curiosities of London," &c.
The site of this house is now part of the front of
St. Thomas's Hospital.
THE BEAR AT THE BRIDGE-FOOT
was a noted house of entertainment during the fifteenth,
sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries; and it remained
until the houses on old London Bridge were pulled down,
in or about the year 1760.
This house was situate in the parish of St. Olave,
Southwark, on the west side of the High Street, and
between Pepper Alley and the foot of the bridge.^
9
^ This was properly within the city of London, and formed part of
Bridge Ward Within, which extended all over the bridge, and included
the gate at the south end of the bridge, and some houses on each side of
the way, in the parish of Saint Olave, Southwark, as far as the stulpes
(wooden posts), which marked the extent of the barrier, or outer fortifi-
cation of the bridge gate.
70 ON SOME OF THE ANCIENT
Per the earliest notice of " The Bear " at the bridge-
foot, as well as for some others of which I have availed
myself, I am indebted to the notes of Mr. Jacob Henry-
Bum to his Catalogue of the London traders', tavern, and
coffee-house tokens current in the seventeenth century.,
presented to the library of the corporation of London by
Henry Benjamin Handbury Beaufoy, Esq. Mr. Burn
tells us that " The Bear " at bridge-foot was a house of
considerable antiquity, and that among the disburse-
ments for Sir John Howard, in the steward's accounts,
yet extant, are noticed —
Mar. 6, 1463-4. Item, payd for red wyn at the Bere

The next mention I have found of " The Bear " is in
a deed in my own possession, dated 12th December,
1554, in the first and second years of Philip and Mary,
whereby Edmonde WythipoUe, of Gwypiswiche (Ips-
wich), gentleman, conveyed to Henry Leke, of Suthwerk,
berebruer, (with other premises) the yearly quit rent of
two shillings, going out of a tenement, being a tavern,
called " The Beare " in South wark aforesaid, and in the
parish of St. Oleef (St. Olave) ; and another deed of the
same date, to the like effect, is witnessed by B/Oger
Hyepy, who, I find by the parish books, was at that
time landlord of " The Bear," which was a house much
frequented by the inhabitants of Southwark. It is fre-
quently mentioned in the accounts of the churchwardens
of St. Olave' s, for instance —
1568 to 1570.

There are extant two tradesmen's tokens of the seven-
teenth century, issued by occupiers of "The Bear."
One has on the obverse a bear with a chain, and the
inscription — " Abraham Browne at ye ; " and on the
reverse — " Bridg Poot, South wark ; " in the centre —
" His Halfpeny.'* And the other has on the obverse a
bear passant with collar and chain, and the inscription
"Cornelius Cooke at the;" reverse — "Beare at the
Bridgefot ;" in the centre—" C.A.C." ''
Cornelius Cooke was a man of some note in his time ;
I find him mentioned in the parish accounts of St.
Olave's, as overseer of the land side, as early as 1630.
He afterwards became a soldier, and was a captain of the
trained bands. He rose to the rank of colonel in Crom-
well's army, and was appointed one of the commissioners
for sale of the king's lands.
After the restoration of King Charles II. he seems to
have settled down among his old friends in St. Olave's,
as landlord of " The Bear " at the bridge-foot, where
he doubtless frequently fought o'er his fields again,
and told his tales of the civil wars.
Gerrard, in a letter to Lord Strafford (printed among
the StraflFord papers), January, 1633, intimates that all
back doors to taverns on the Thames are commanded to

72 ON SOME OF THE ANCIENT
The cavaliers' ballad on the magnificent funeral
honours rendered to Admiral Dean (killed Jmie 2nd,
1653), while passing by water to Henry the Seventh's
chapel, has the following allusion : —
" From Greenwich towards the Bear at bridgefoot,
He was wafted with wind that had water to't.
But I think they brought the devil to boot.
Which nobody can deny."
In another ballad, "On banishing the ladies out of
town," by the Commonwealth authorities, the notoriety
of " The Bear " at bridge-foot is again manifest : —
" Farewell bridge-foot and Bear thereby,
And those bald pates that stand so high,
We wish it, from our very souls,
That other heads were on those poles." ^^
" The Bear " at London Bridge foot is twice mentioned
by Samuel Pepys, in his amusing Diary : —
"24 Feb., 1666-7. Going through bridge by water, my waterman
told me how the mistress of the Beare tavern, at the bridge-foot, did
lately fling herself into the Thauies, and drown herself; which did
trouble me the more, when they tell me it was she that did live at the
White Horse tavern in Lumbard-street, which was a most beautiful
woman, as most I have seen. It seems she hath had long melancholy
upon her, and hath endeavoured to make away with herself often."
"3 April, 1667. Here I hear how the king is not so well pleased
of this marriage between the Duke of Bichmoud and Mrs. Stewart, as
is talked ; and that he by a wile did fetch her to the Beare, at the Bridge-
foot, where a coach was ready, and they are stole away into Kent, with-
out the king's leave ; and that the king hath said he will never see her
more : but people do think that it is only a trick."
There is yet another poetical reference to " The Bear"
at bridge-foot, in a scarce poem entitled **The Last
Search after Claret in Southwark, or a Visitation of the
^^ Bui*n's Catalogue of Beaufoy Tokens, p. 46 n. The allusion to
bald pates refers to the traitors' heads exposed on the bridge gate.

Vintners in the Mint, with the Debates of a Committee
of that Profession, thither fled to avoid the cruel perse-
cution of their unmerciful creditors. A poem. London :
printed for E. Hawkins, 1691," 4to.,^* in which " The
Bear" is thus mentioned (after landing at Pefpper
Alley) :—
" Through stinks of all sorts, both the simple and compound,
Which through narrow alleys our senses do confound,
We came to the Bear, which we soon understood
Was the first house in South wark built after the flood.
And has such a succession of vintners known,
Not more names were e'er in Welsh pedigrees shown :
But claret with them was so much out of fashion,
That it has not been known there a whole generation."
" The Bear " continued to aflFord hospitable entertain-
ment to all who could pay, until the year 1761, when it
was pulled down, on the bridge being widened, and the
houses thereon removed.
In " The Public Advertiser," of Saturday, December
26th, 1761, is the following announcement : —
"Thursday last, the workmen employed in pulling down the Bear
tavern, at the foot of London Bridge, found several pieces of gold and
silver coin of Queen Elizabeth, and other monies to a considerable
value." ^

74 ON SOME OP THE ANCIENT
For, alas 1 the inn, of which I have now to speak, was
also a prison ; a house of entertainment to which guests
were compelled to go by pressing invitation from the
sheriff of Surrey.
Stow, in his " Survey of London," describing the
High Street of Southwark, says : " Then is the White
Lion, a gaol so called, for that the same was a common
hostelry for the receipt of travellers, by that sign. This
house was first used as a gaole within this three-score
years last {i.e. from about 1538), siiice which time the
prisoners were once removed to an house in Newtowne
(Newington), where they remained for a short time,
and were returned back again to the aforesaid White
Lion, there to remain as the appointed gaole for the
county of Surrey."
Among the records of the Court of Augmentations
are the particulars for a grant by King Henry VIII., in
the 36th year of his reign, to Robert Cursen, of part of
the possessionis of the dissolved monastery of St. Mary
Overy, consisting of a tenement called "The Whyte
Lyon," situate and being in the parish of the blessed
Mary Magdalen, in Sowthwarke, which said tenement,
on the east part abuts upon the new burying-ground of
St. Olave's and a garden belonging to the late monastery
of Lewes, on the west part on the king's highway, on
the north part on the sign of "The Ball" late per-
taining to the hospital of Thomas Becket, on the south
part on a tenement belonging to Master E;obert Tyrrell,^*
^^ From this description, the site of the house, called " The White
Lion," in this particular, may be clearly and undoubtedly ascertained ;
as the new burying-ground of the parish of St. Olave (called the
Flemish Ground) was in existence until the Greenwich Railway Com-
pany took it for making the road to the London Bridge termini, and it
now forms part of the garden of St. Thomas's Hospital " The White

in the tenure of Henry Mynce, as demised to him by-
indenture dated 12th January, 29th Henry VIII., from
Christmas-day then last, for the term of thirty years, at
the yearly rent of sixty shillings, repairs at the king's
charge, except the glazing and the emptying of the privies
and cesspools, as in the said indenture appears. Com-
prised in the same particulars, is also the rent of one
garden there, with a tenement situate in the same
garden, lying and being within the parish of St. George,
in Southwark, in the tenure of Walter Carter, demised
to him by indenture dated 6th March, 27th Henry VIII.,
from the Annunciation next after the date, for thirty
years, at the rent of 268. 8c?.^^
Presuming that "The White lion" was the same
house that was afterwards called "The Crown," or
" The Crown and Chequers," and subsequently Baxter's
Coffee-house, it existed until the year 1 832, when it was
pulled down for forming the approach to London-bridge,
and the site is now occupied by the new north wing
of St. Thomas's Hospital. This liouse is mentioned in
"The Epicure's Almanac," 1815, as interesting on ac-
count of its antiquity, and the author states that it was
part of a palace, where King Henry VIII. once kept his
Lion" was between the cliurchyard and the High Street, and nearly
opposite to St. Saviour's Church. I am not sure, however, that this house
was the White Lion Prison, which, at a later period, was certainly in
the parish of St. George, on the east side of the High Street, near
St. George's Church, and afterwards became the Marshalsea prison;
now the shop and warehouse of Messrs. Twiddy and Tippet, cheese-
mongers.
^^ This house and garden in St. George's was then, or afterwards,
known by the name of Hangman's Acre. It was situate at the comer
of Gravel Lane and Friar Street, and belonged to the White Lion estate
when it came into the hands of the county. On it was built a house of
correction, and it is now a soap-manufactory.
76 ON SOME OF THE ANCIENT
court. The writer says it was decorated externally with
the remains of the royal insignia. Some of the rooms, then
occupied by a hop-merchant, had ceilings richly embossed
with the arms of the Royal Harry ; and then the author
conjures up a fanciful picture of King Henry and Anna
Boleyn, and I know not who besides ; and he refers to
the Marquis of Salisbury's picture at Hatfield House,
which he says represents King Henry VIII. at Ber-
mondsey Pair, leaning on Cardinal Wolsey. This is
the picture to which I had the honour of drawing the
notice of this Society, at a meeting held at Horselydown
in October, 1866, and which has been beautifully etched
by Mr. Le Keux, in the first volume of our Proceedings.
The spot represented is, I believe, Horselydown, and
very near to the place where we are now assembled
(St. Olave's New Grammar School) ; but the date of the
picture is 1590, half a century later than Henry's time,
and the Royal Harry, Cardinal Wolsey, Anna Boleyn,
and the rest, are mere creations of the author's fancy ;
as also is the idea of the house in question having been
a royal palace, and the king's arms being embossed on
the ceiling of one of the rooms.
But we have seen that " The White lion " was part
of the plimder of the monastery of St. Mary Overy, and
was sold by Eling Henry VIII. to Robert Cursen ; and
that will account for the king's name having become
traditionally connected with it. In a house adjoining
there was a panelled room having on the ceiling the
arms of Queen Elizabeth, with the letters E.R. ; and
(if this " White Lion " was the prison of that name)
the room so decorated was probably the court-room, in
which the justices sat and held their sessions.
That the house was an ancient and curious building,
you may judge from the engraving of the exterior view
INNS OF SOUTHWARK. 77
(from Taylor's " History of St. Saviour's"), and from •
the delineation of the ceiling, and one side of the court-
room, and of the staircase (from drawings by E. Hassell),
which I now have the pleasure to exhibit.
The house to which this room with the panelled
wainscoting and ceiling ornamented with the royal arms
of Elizabeth, belonged, was situate in a small court
between Baxter's coffee-house and the house of the late
Mr. Josiah Monnery, hosier and glover, and at the rear
of the latter house ; it was occupied by Mr. Solomon
Davies, a tobacconist, for some time during the progress
of the new street to London Bridge. This house had
formerly been known by the sign of " The Three
Brushes," or holy-water sprinklers.
In 1652, it was conveyed by Thomas Overman to
Hugh Lawton, who died in 1669; and in 1678, by
bargain and sale enrolled in Chancery, Abraham Law-
ton, and Mary his wife, he being nephew and heir of
Hugh, and eldest son of Abraham Lawton, eldest
brother of Hugh, conveyed the premises to Nathaniel
Collier, who by his will, dated 7th November, 1696,
devised the same to his daughter, Susannah Lardner,
wife of Richard Lardner. A fine was levied in 1703,
and in 1739, Richard Lardner by his will devised to
his son Nathaniel, who by his wUl, dated 9th March,
1767, gave a moiety of "The Three Brushes, or
Sprinklers," to his niece, Mary Lister, eldest daughter of
his sister, Elizabeth Neal, and the other moiety to
Elizabeth Solly and Mary Rogers, daughters of his
nephew, Nathaniel Neal.
In 1769, Isaac Solly, of Jeffery Square, St. Mary
Axe, merchant, and Elizabeth, his wife; and John
Rogers, of Bartholomew Close, warehouseman, conveyed
and levied a fine of their moiety to the Rev. Wm. Lister,
78 ON SOME OP THE ANCIENT
of Ware, who by his will, in 1777, devised this property
to his sons, Daniel Lister, of Ware, gentleman, and
William Lister, M.D., of the university of Edinburgh,
and his daughter, Elizabeth Lister (who died unmarried) ;
and in 1795, Daniel Lister, of Hackney, gentleman,
eldest son and heir of William Lister, clerk, and Mary,
his wife, conveyed the premises to Joseph Prince, of the
borough of Southwark, hop-merchant, and of Camber-
well ; whose son, John Prince, Esq., of Southwark and
Earnham Hall, Hertfordshire, married, in 1809, Harriett
Hannah Hall, daughter of John Hall, Esq., of Halkin
Street, Grosvenor Place ; and in 1832 this property was
sold to the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital, and is
now comprised within the hospital gates.
A plan on a lease of the date of 1767 calls the public-
house "The Crown." And in 1783 the premises are
described as, " All those two several messuages or tene-
ments, formerly one messuage or tenement, and after-
wards three, situate in the parish of Saint Saviour,
Southwark, heretofore called or known by the name or
sign of * The Holy-water Sprinklers,' or the * Three
Brushes ;' theretofore, in the several tenures or occupa-
tions of Henry Thrale, Esquire, Josiah Monnery, and
John Hargreaves, but then in the occupation of the said
Josiah Monnery and Joseph Prince." ^®
The house in front of the High Street, and on the
south side of the passage, which was occupied by Mr.
Monnery, became his own freehold property by purchase,
and was sold by him to the corporation of London, for
making the new street to London Bridge.
The only further notice I have of these premises is
from Mr. Bum's Catalogue of Mr. Beaufoy's collection
^ These particulars are from the deeds beloDging to St. Thomas's
Hospital, by liberal permission of Bichard Baggallay, Esq., Treasurer.

of tradesmen's tokens at the library, Guildhall; in
which collection is a token inscribed " Robert Thornton,
Haberdasher, his Halfe Penny ;" and on the reverse —
"next the Three Brushes, in Southwarke, 1667 ; '' and
Mr. Burn in a note tells us that " The Three Brushes "
was a tavern of some notoriety. In one of the disgraceful
prosecutions under the papistical reign of King James
the Second, Bellamy, mine host of "The Three Brushes,"
figured most contemptibly, as a witness for the Crown,
on the trial of the Bev. Samuel Johnson, at West-
minster Hall, on Monday, June 21st, 1686.
I now come to " The White Lion " as a prison ; but
I am by no means certain that " The White Lion *' of
which I have before treated is the same house that was
the county prison ; for at that time, when houses were
not numbered, especially if they were occupied by trades-
men, they were known by signs ; from which it did not
follow that they were inns or public houses ; but there
was in the High Street of Southwark, as we have seen
from Stow's " Survey of London," an inn called " The
White lion," which was used as a prison for the county
of Surrey. In the 24th year of Queen Elizabeth's reign,
the Queen granted the keepership of the Whyte Lyon
prison in Southwark, to Thomas Lewis and Ann his
wife, by letters patent, dated July 5th.
In a letter (contained in a volume of original letters
and papers, in the library of the dean and chapter of
Canterbury), from Lord Burghley to Sir Thomas Browne,
sheriff of Surrey, written from the court at Oatlands,
24th of September, 1683 : " The wife of one Thorp, late
gaoler of the White Lion, complains that he had been
injured, being put from keeping the prison by one
Lewier, who made a lease of that house to Thorp for
sixty years, whereby he claimed to have the same, and
80 ON SOME OF THE ANCIENT
to be jailer there ; he gave bond to the sheriff in £900."
Lord Burghley desires Sir Thomas to inquire into it.
The result does not appear.^^
While "The White Lion" was used as a prison,
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the Boman Catholic
recusants were confined there, as appears from the
account of Donald Sharpies, renter (or receiver of rents)
for Thomas Copley, Esq.^° (of Gatton, Surrey, and the
Maze, Southwark), of receipts and payments on account
of rents of lands and tenements in Southwark, a.d. 1569.
Paid to Mr. Cooke, keeper of the goale in Southwark,
called the White Lion, for the charges of 3 pri-
soners — Ingram, Marshall, and Lawrance * ... 3li, 88.
Paid Mr. Waye, keeper of the Marshalsea, for
2 prisoners — Bichd. Cooke and Kob. Cooke ... 48& ScL
And in 1570,—
Paid in the Crown Office, to Mr. Ive, for the fynes
of the indictments of 18 persons ... ••• ... 538.
» Paid for their fines to the Queen, ceassed by the
Justice Southcoote, at 58. each ... ... ... ^IL 10&
Among the State Papers (domestic series, vol. cxl.
No. 39), there is a certificate of Thomas Lewys, keeper
of " The White Lion,'' dated 31st July, 1580, of the
prisoners that were then or had been lately in his custody
for matters of religion.
The records of the clerk of the peace for Surrey go no
further back than the time of the restoration of King
Charles II. ; from them we learn that " The White
lion " had at some time been purchased by the county
^* Manning and Bray's Hist, of Surrey, voL iii. App. xvi.
^ The Copleys were a Roman Catholic family, who suffered much for
their religion in those times of persecution ; and Mr. Copley was then
abroad to avoid proceedings against him. These accounts are printed in
Nicholls' " Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica."

for the purpose of a prison, and that in 1681, " The
White Lion'* was in so ruinous a state, that prisoners
could not be kept there safely, and, at the quarter-
sessions held at Dorking in January of that year, a
committee was appointed, but nothing was done till
1695, when the county prisoners, having been kept in
the Marshalsea prison for some years in consequence
of the ruinous state of " The White Lion," the sheriflf
agreed with Mr. Lowman, then keeper of the Marshalsea,
for the use of that prison to keep the county prisoners
m, and that Lowman should have the benefit of " The
White lion," except of that part of it which had been
used as a house of correction; and in 1696 a lease of
" The White lion " was granted to Lowman for fifty-
nine years.^^
When the present Queen's Prison (formerly called the
King's Bench) was built, in the year 1768, the old
King's Bench prison, which was on the east side of High
Street, Southwark, near St. George's Church, became
the county prison, and in 1811, after the building of
Horsemonger Lane Gaol, the county magistrates sold it
under the powers of an act of parliament, and it became
the Marshalsea prison.

NOTES FROM THE PARISH REGISTERS OF
RICHMOND, KINGSTON, AND PETERSHAM,
IN THE COUNTY OF SURREY.
By WILLIAM HENRY HART, Esq., F.S.A.
BXAO! AT THE AlJOfUAL aENXBAL MEETDTa, HELD AT BICHHOITD, JULY 5, 1859.
It is not improbable that the title prefixed to the few
remarks I am about to address to the meeting now
assembled, may somewhat impress many that I am
proceeding to detail nothing more than a dry list of
births, deaths, and marriages ; or, in other words, that I
merely make myself an animated first column of the
Times for the occasion : this is, however, not the case ;
for I hope to be able to unSeceive those who may be
under that impression, and to show to them that out of
old Parish Registers may be gleaned facts, often of
historical importance, which can be gathered from no
other source; and also mention of various little inci-
dents of considerable local interest, some of which are
even seasoned with a spice of romance.
Parish Registers were instituted in pursuance of an
injunction of the Lord Vicegerent Cromwell, dated in
September, in the 30th year of Henry VIII., whereby,
to use the words of the original, —
" I, Thomas Lord Cromwell, Privy Seal, and Yicegerent to the King's
said Highness, for all his jurisdiction ecclesiastical within this realm,
do for the advancement of the true honour of Almighty God, increase
of vertue, and discharge of the King's Majesty, give and exhibit unto
RICHMOND, KINGSTON, AND PETERSHAM. 83
you these injunctions following, to be kept, observed and fulfilled, upon
the pains hereafter declared : — Item, that you and every parson, vicar,
or curate within this Diocese, for every church keep one book or
register, wherein he shall write the day and year of every wedding,
christening, and burial, made within your parish for your time, and so
every man succeeding you likewise, and also there insert every person's
name that shall be so wedded, christued, and buried. And for the safe
keeping of the same book, the parish shall be bound to provide of their
common charges one sure coffer, with two locks and keys, whereof the
one to remain with you, and the other with the Wardens of every
Parish wherein the said book shall be laid up, which Book ye shall every
Sunday take forth, and in the presence of the said Wardens or one of
them, write and record in the same, all the weddings, christnings, and
burials made the whole week afore, and that done, to lay up the book in
the said coffer as afore; and for every time that the same shall be
omitted, the party that shall be in the fault thereof shall forfeit to the.
said church iij5. iiijc?., to be employed on the reparation of the said
churcL"
Registers were thus confined, properly speaking, to
entries of baptisms, marriages, and burials ; but in the
ancient ones this order was not strictly adhered to ; and
ii was found convenient to make use of these books
wherein to enter memoranda of extraordinary events
worthy of remark ; such as a great flood or tempest, the
rebuilding or alteration of the church, gifts of pulpit,
altar-cloth, or other ecclesiastical furniture, names of
preachers on special occasions, licences for persons to
eat flesh in Lent, briefs ^for collections for charitable
purposes ; in short, in the early days, when the news-
paper was unknown, and the means of perpetuating
information not so readily attainable as at the present
day, the Parish Register was perhaps the most natural
place in which to record events somewhat out of the
common course; and, therefore, it is to that custom
that at this hour we owe the possession of much local
and antiquarian information, which otherwise would
never have been handed down to us.

84 NOTES FROM THE PARISH REGISTERS OF
The Richmond Registers commence in the year 1583,
and from a memorandum at the head of the first
volume, the earlier ones appear to have fallen into
confusion and disorder, and thereupon to have been
recopied in the first year of the reign of King James I.
In the year 1596 is this curious entry : —
" Laurence Snowe was buried w«^ Laurence was executed at King-
stone and by his wife brought to Eichmounte and there buried
July 24 1596."
We next come to two entries illustrative of the
curious custom which prevailed in former times, that of
lodging the heart and bowels of a person separately, and
in many cases at remote distances from the body, which
was buried elsewhere ; and to which custom, it will be
recollected, many of our early kings conformed.
In pursuance of this fashion, we find the following
entry in the Richmond Register for the year 1599 : —
" Koy. 12. Mrs. Elizabeth Ratcliff one of the maides of honor died,
and her bowells buried in the chancell at Kichmont.'*
The other instance occurs in the following year* Sir
Anthony Poulet was eldest surviving son and heir
of Sir Amias Poulet, Knight, and was constituted
Governor of the Isle of Jersey on the death of his
father, Sept. 26, 1588 ; he was likewise Captain of the
Guard to Queen Elizabeth, who conferred the honour of
knighthood upon him. He died in the year 1600, and
by his Will, dated in the month of May that year,
directed his executors to bury him in the church of the
parish where he might happen to die ; but by a codicil
to his^jWill, he ordered a tomb to be erected for himself
and family in the parish church of Hinton St. George,
in Somersetshire, the ancient residence of the family.
IMCHMOND, KINGSTON, AND PETERSHAM, 85
In the Richmond Register we find the following
entry : —
"July 24 1600. Sir Antony Paulet Knight died at Kew, whose
bowells were interred at Richmounte."
Thus one part of the directions of his Will was com-
plied with, while the remainder of his injunction was
fulfilled by his body being buried in the church of
Hinton St. George, where there remains a fine monu-
ment to him and his lady.
There are frequent entries of deaths, where the burial
has taken place elsewhere, as for example, —
"Sir Edward Gorges Knight dyed Aug. 29. 1625 and was caried to
London to be buryed."
"Mizabeth Yeere, Countis of Darbie died here March 10. 1626 ftnd
at ye Abbye buried."
This lady was eldest daughter of Edward Vere, 17th
Earl of Oxford ; she was married to William, 6th
Earl of Derby, on the 26th June, 1694, and was buried
at Westminster Abbey on the 11th March, 1626, the
day after her death.
In these registers, as in most others, are several
entries of burials of chrisom children. Thus, —
"A chrisom child of Reynald Ashen buried Aug. 24. 1626." "An
Johnson a crisom buried Dec. 10. 1634." "A crisome of M"^ Best of
Kew buried Dec. 7, 1636." " A chrisome of Sir Harbar Lunsons buried
March 12. 1650."
There is room for considerable discussion on the
proper use of this term "chrisom children," but it
would be out of place, and would take too much time
here to enter into any arguments on the question;
suffice it, for the present purpose, to say, that according
to the better opinion, it means those children who die after
their baptism, but before the churching of the mother.
86 NOTES FROM THE PARISH REGISTERS O*-
However, tlirough the inadvertence or neglect of the
clergy, whose duty it was to make up the register
books, the term came to be applied to children dying
unbaptized; and when met with in ancient parish
registers, must be understood in that sense, although
the wrong one.
The reader may, perhaps, remember how this word, in
its correct sense, is used by Shakspere, in his play of
King Henry V., when the death of Falstaff is announced,
and Mrs. Quickly replies : —
** Nay sure, he's not in hell ; he's in Arthur's bosom, if ever man
went to Arthur's bosom. 'A made a finer end, and went away, an it
had been any ckristom child."
Again, we find Bishop Taylor, in his " Holy Living,"
making use of the word in the following most beautiful
passage: —
" This day is mine and yours, but ye know not what Shall be on the
morrow ; and every morning creeps out of a dark cloud, leaving behind
it an ignorance and silence, deep as midnight, and undiscerned as are the
phantasms that make a chrisome child to smile."
Wheatley, in his work on the "Book of Common
Prayer," says:—
" By the first common prayer of King Edward, after the child was
thus baptized, the godfathers were to lay their hands upon it, and the
minister was to put upon him his white vesture, commonly called the
chrisom, and to say, * Take this white vesture as a token of the inno-
cency which, by God's grace, in this holy Sacrament of Baptism, is given
unto thee : and for a sign whereby thou art admonished so long as thou
livest, to give thyself to innocency of living, that after this transitory life
thou mayest be partaker of the life everlasting. Amen.' "
" Then the priest, anointing the head, says this prayer : * Almighty
Grod, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath regenerated thee
by water and the Holy Ghost, and hath given unto thee remission of all
thy sins; he vouchsafe to anoint thee with the unction of his holy
spirit, and bring thee to the inheritance of everlasting life. Amen.' "
From this anointing with chrism the garment was
RICHMOND, KINGSTON, AND PETEESHAM. 87
called chrisom, which " it was the custom anciently for
the newly-haptized persons to appear in at church
during the solemn time for baptism, to show their
resohition of leading an innocent and unspotted life for
the future, and then to put them oflF, and to deliver
them to be laid up, in order to be produced as evidences
against them, should they afterwards violate or deny
that faith which they had then professed. And this, I
suppose^ was the design of our own Church, at the be-
ginning of the Reformation, in ordering the woman to
offer the chrisom when she came to be churched. For
if the child happened to die before, then it seems she
was excused from oflFering it; and, indeed, there was
then no occasion to demand it, since it would be of no
use to the Church when the child was dead. And, there-
fore, in such case it was customary to wrap the child
in it when it was buried, in the nature of a shroud."
And thus arose the term chrisom children.
Monumental brasses, when laid down to the memory
of chrisom children, have a distinctive feature peculiar
to themselves. There is a very good specimen at the
church of Stoke D*Abernon in this county, and there
are also specimens engraved in Cotman's Norfolk
Brasses. The figures are represented as bound up in
folds of linen, ornamented with Vandyked edges, bound
down with strips of Vandyked linen, in such order that
the intersection on the upper and lower fourth of the
body's length, shall present the form of a cross.^
Chrisom children are not frequent in the Kingston

88 NOTES FEOM THE PAEISH BEGISTERS OF
One of the changes which took place, on the great
devolution in political and religious aflFairs, occasioned
by the usurper Cromwell, manifested itself in the laws
relating to marriage. Tor the especial benefit of those
who preferred that their union should be unblest with
the benedictions of the Church, a statute was passed in
August, 1653, enabling Justices of the Peace to solem-
nize weddings; and the Eichmond Register, in 165di,
contains an entry of the celebration of one of these
ceremonies, thus : —
"William Sauley and Mary Austin had ye Fublicacon of their
marriage published upon the 12* y« 19^ and y« 26*^ day of February
and were marry ed by Eichard Graves Esquire ye 26*** day of March
1654: in y« presence of Walter Symmes Rob* Warren and others."
I wiU conclude the Richmond Registers by quoting
some miscellaneous entries, worthy of notice : —
'^ Nazareth the base borne Daughter^ of Joane Maskall " christened
Peby. 25 162|^. "James Gouldstone & Tho : Gouldstone sonnes of
Lawrance Gouldstone (uno partu)" christened May 1, 1623. "Richard
Greene, sonne of Will: Greene (junior) and Will: Evans, sonne of Ryce
Evans (a travailing stranger) whose wife laye in at Sheene." Christened
May 8, 1625. « Deborah, a vagrant, christ* Dec. 11. 1638." « Clement
Cochman to the Lady Elizabeth's Grace. Buried Feb. 8 1611." "An
Wright a Londoner, buried Feb. 9. 161^." "Roger Magar a Londoner
buried Jan. 3 1611^." "John Mangus (a Scotishman) buried August 25
1623." "John Smyth ye bird catcher, buried Nov. 13. 1634."
" Matthew a Blackamoor buried May 20*^ 1671."
I now pass to the Kingston Registers, a slight survey
of which will, I think, be productive of more interesting
results than those of B/ichmond. They commence in
October in the second year of the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, and are in good preservation.
In the early part of the first volume is an account of
the diflferent preachers at the church during the years
1572, 1573, and 1574, which forms an interesting local
record.

In the old times it was the custom for persons in
distress, or who had met with accident or misfortune,
and required the eleemosynary aid of their richer
brethreil, to obtain from the Ecclesiastical Court what
was termed a " brief," or, in other words, a species of
authority to go about begging at any church they might
think fit ; and thereupon to throw themselves upon the
bounty of indiscriminate congregations even at a remote
distance; thus: —

In December, 1569, is a little note of local interest : —
Item in this monthe of December was the Ponde made in the Horse
Market.
In 1670, October 9, is this note : —
Thursday at nyght rose a great winde and rayne that the Temps rosse
so hye that they my^t row w* bott' owte of the Temps a gret waye in
to the market place and upon a sodayne.
In the year 1672 a new cucking-stool was made at
the expense to the parish of £1. Ss. 4td. This was an
instrument or contrivance for the punishment of women
who made so much use of their tongues as to disturb
their neighbours, as well as their own families. Wher-
ever there was a pond or stream of water in the parish
(in this case the river is handy), a post was set up in it ;
across this post was placed a transverse beam, turning
on a swivel, with a chair at one end of it, in which,
when the culprit was properly placed, that end was
turned to the pond, and let down into the water. This
was repeated as many times as the circumstances of the
case required.
No sooner was this new cuoking-stool provided, than
occasion required its application, as the following entry
in the Register will show : —
1572 August. On T^wsday being the xix day of this monthe of
August * Downing wyfe to ^ Downinge gravemaker of this
parysshe she was sett on a new cukkiug stolle made of a grett hythe and

It is remarkable that this entry has been struck
through, and the name Downing partially obliterated ;
this was done at some period not long after the date of
the entry itself, judging from the colour of the ink, and,

In the next month occurs an entry which seems to
show that the inhabitants of Kingston were not so
peaceable and orderly in their habits as decorum re-
quired ; for on September 8, 1572 : —

with flax, hemp, silk, hair, gold, or silver, or in any stuff or thing other
than what is made of sheep's wool only, under the penalty of £5 ; and
an affidavit was to be made, within eight days after the burial, that
the person was buried in woollen, and in nothing else.
Thus it was sought to compel every person to be buried in woollen ;
but the aristocracy, and others, who could afford to contravene the
statute, frequently did so, and enjoyed the luxury of being buried in
linen, for which their representatives paid the fine.

ON AN ANCIENT DEED EROM THE MUNIMENT
EOOM OE THE HOSPITAL OE THE HOLT
TRINITY IN CROYDON.
Bt JOHN WICKHAM FLOWER.
The deed, of which 2i^ facsimile accompanies this part
of the Society's Proceedings, and of which a translation
is appended, is preserved, together with other interesting
documents relating to the Hospital, in the Muniment-
room over the gatehouse.
Archbishop Whitgift (the founder) seems to have
been more than usually careful for the safety of these
muniments. In the statutes which he ordained for the
government of the Hospital, we find the following
direction: "Whereas, I have allotted owte a speciall
roome in the gate bowse next unto the streete for keepiilge
of the evidences of the lands and revenews of my sayde
hospitall, and for other thinges of some momente, being
not of dayly use : I doe ordeine that, in the same roome
there shall be one other cheste, wherein shall be kepte
the foundation and donation of the hospitall, and all
other evidens whatsoever, well sorted accordinge to the
severall parcells of landes, into severall greate boxes,
superscribed wythe papers of direction." This injunction
seems to have been carefully complied with by successive
wardens, and the deeds and evidences are now found
in the several " greate boxes " in which they were in
all probability placed by the founder, or in his time.
H 2
100 ON AN ANCIENT DEED.
This deed is the grant of a rent-charge of £6. 13«. M.
per annum (twenty nobles), by Susan Barker, wife of
Edward Barker, Esq., to the Warden and Poor of the
Hospital, and it is interesting in an archaeological point
of view, not only as regards the parties to the grant,
and the singularity of the motives which induced them
to make it, but also on account of the elegant and
artistic style in which the deed is prepared.
Susan Barker (the grantor) was the daughter of
Richard Tracy of Stanway, by Barbara, daughter of that
Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlcote, to whom some of
Shakespeare's early troubles were, or at least are said to
be, attributable. She thus descends from two families,
the names of both of which are very familiar to the
students of English history. Her husband Edward
Barker was principal Registrar of the High Commission
Court, a piece of preferment which probably he owed to
the Archbishop, who, in his frequent dealings with recu-
sants and papists, had much to do with that dreaded
tribunal. Probably this grant to an establishment
founded by the Archbishop himself, and in which he
took so large an interest, may have been a graceful
method of expressing the Registrar's obligations to his
patron. '
The motives which led to this benefaction, (that which
lawyers term the consideration for it) are of a somewhat
unusual kind : —
After reciting that William Tracy, one of the donor's
ancestors, had taken part in the murder of Thomas a
Beckett, she states that not only out of esteem and
respect for Archbishop Whitgift, but also in order that
it might be openly made known, that the episcopal order
was not at all hateful to her family, as some spiteful
persons had reported, she was induced to grant the rent-
ON AN ANCIENT DEED. 101
charge in question. Probably she bore in mind the old
Gloucestershire proverb, in which it was suggested that
an avenging Nemesis pursued her ancestor's descendants
on account of his crime : — " The Trades have always y
the loind in their faces ;^* or, possibly, the lady, although
a Protestant, may have been insensibly influenced by
some lurking belief in the Papistical doctrines —that
ancestral guilt needed atonement, and that the perform-
ance of good works was efficacious for that purpose;
—and that thus a handsome donation to the hospital
founded by one Archbishop, might, in some sort expiate
the guilt of murdering one of his predecessors.
I am not aware that any other of William Tracy's de-
scendants attempted to atone for their ancestor's crime
by the endowment of any chantry, or other like founda-
tion. It appears, however, from Canon Stanley's most
able and interesting work, entitled "Historical Memorials
of Canterbury," that Tracy himself gave certain lands
in Morton to the church of Canterbury, for the health
of his own soul, and those of his ancestors, and for the
love of St. Thomas, Archbishop and Martyr of venerable
memory, and that the rents of this estate were to be
applied to feed and clothe daily, for ever, one monk, to
celebrate the divine offices ^'pro salute vivorvm et requie
defunctoTumy This deed was witnessed by the Abbot
of St, Eufemia, in Calabria, which place was probably
visited by Tracy on his way to the Holy Land, where
he died. It also appears that Amicia, the widow of
William Thaun, resigned to the treasurer of the cathe-
dral of Exeter, on behalf of the church of Canterbury,
certain lands which her husband had held under Tracy,
and which he had made her swear she would duly assign
to St. Thomas and the convent, but which, under the
influence of her second husband, she had for some time
102 ON AN ANCIENT DEED.
withheld. This resignation was effected in a somewhat
unusual manner, hy the delivery to the treasurer of her
cap — ^jpilliolumj* as a symbol of the actual delivery of
the land.

supplied me with the pedigree subjoined, has also given
me the following description of the armorial bearings
with which this curious document is emblazoned. On
the left-hand side (but the dexter, heraldically speak-
ing), are the arms of Tracy, Lucy, Throckmorton, and
Empson, and on the opposite side, those of Barker,
Brett, Waterhouse, and Davenport. It will be observed
that the arms of the lady's family (as also her signature)
thus take the precedence of her husband's. She was the
daughter of Richard Tracy of Stanway, by Barbara
daughter of Sir Thomas liucy of Charlecote, by Elizabeth,
who was the daughter of Sir Richard Empson, Knight,
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the time of
Henry VII. Richard Tracy was the second son of
WiUiam Tracy of Toddington, in the county of Gloucester,
LL.D., by Margaret daughter of Thomas Throckmorton,
sub-treasurer of England in the time of King Henry VI.
(whose pedigree is printed in the first volume of the
Surrey Archaeological Collections), by Alianor daughter
of Guy Spiney of Coughton, in the county Warwick.
Edward Barker was the son of Erancis Barker (whose
family is said to have come out of Yorkshire), by Julia
daughter of James Waterhouse of Ludlow, in the county
of Salop, and Anne daughter of Thomas Davenport.
Erancis Barker was son of Thomas Barker by Julia Brett,
of whose family we have no trace at present. Susan
Barker, after Edward Barker's decease, married Sir
Henry Billingsley of London, Knight.
The mode by which possession of the annuity purports
ON AN ANCIENT DEED. 103
to be given is worthy of notice. It is said to be, " by
the delivery of a piece of gold money of the value of ten
shillings, affixed to these presents." This coin, which
still remains thus affixed, is an angel of the reign of
Henry VIII. The seals both of Susan Barker and her
husband are appended to it, the ribbons passing through
four holes made in the coin, and so through the parch-
ment. These ribbons are azure and argent^ the principal
tinctures of the Archiepiscopal arms of Canterbury,
which, impaling those of Whitgift, are emblazoned on
the upper part of the deed.
Attached to Susan Barker's own signature is the seal
of the family of Tracy (the arms, however, occur without
the escalop, an instance of which occurs in a MS. temp.
Henry VIII., in the College of Arms), suspended by
ribbons or, and gulea, the two first colours of the arms of
Tracy. Edward Barker's seal is suspended in a similar
way by ribbons or and sahle, the tinctures of his arms ;
and is likewise impressed with his arms. The form of
the shields of these seals is the same, and rather unique
for that period, bearing some resemblance to a heater
shield, having two curvatures on the upper part.
The Mansion-house known as Lancaster College, in
St. Paul's Churchyard, upon which the payment of this
annuity was charged, was founded by the executors of
John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. It contained lodg-
ings and a common hall for thirty priests, who were
appointed to officiate daily in the chapel on the north
side of the choir of old St. Paul's, in which John of
Gaunt, and his first and second wives, were entombed.
These, probably, were the same priests for whose
maintenance, John of Gaunt's executors gave to the
church of St. Paul the manors of Bowes and Pecleshouse
in Middlesex, that they might sing masses for his soul.
104 ON AN ANCIENT DEED.
This college was suppressed at the Reformation, and
was granted by Edward VI., on the 9th September, in
the second year of his reign, to "William Gunter, from
whom probably it devolved to Susan Barker, or her
ancestor, and eventually appears to have come into
the possession of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's,
who, by indenture dated the 26th of February, 1664,
demised it to Thomas Pory of London, merchant.
In this lease it is described as " Lancastw College,
against the south gate of St. Paul's Cathedral, and
encroached into the Churchyard." It was doubt-
less destroyed in that vast conflagration which, two
years afterwards, consumed the cathedral itself. Its site
is now occupied by the large buildii^ at the south-
east comer of St. Paul's Churchyard.
It is a singular circumstance, that although so care-
fully prepared, and so beautifully adorned, this deed was
after all invalid : it seems to have been the production of
a herald, rather than of a lawyer. At this time, and
indeed long afterwards, a married woman could neither
charge, nor alien, her freehold estate, except by a form of
procedure known as a fine. This formality does not seem
to have been observed, and it appears from ihe Hospital
records, that some litigation took place in consequence.
The defect was afterwards remedied, and the Hospital has
continued to receive the annuity to the present time.
The device of giving seism of an annuity, by the de-
livery of a piece of gold money, was altogether fanciful,
and could bave had no legal operation. This formality
is one, which applies only to the conveyance of land,
and was in no way essential to perfect the grant of an
annuity, otherwise valid, nor would it have operated to
set up an invalid grant.

TEANSLATIOK
Co all the faithful in Christ, to whom the present writing shall
come. I, Susan Barker, daughter of Eichard Tracy of Stanwaie, in the
county of Gloucester, Esquire, and of Barbara Lucy, daughter of Thomas
Lucy of Charlcote, in the county of Warwick, Knight, send greeting.
WS^tXt&if in time past, William Tracy, Knight, one of my ancestors,
wishing to please his king, transgressed rashly against the life of Thomas,
formerly Archbishop of Canterbury, whatsoever may have been his rebel-
lion. XtttolD pe, that I, honouring the most loyal disposition towards
her Royal Majesty, of the most reverend father in God, John Whitgifte,
now Archbishop of Canterbury, as also his gentleness, and his truly
episcopal life, and desiring that it should be made apparent that the
pontifical dignity was never at all hateful to our family (as some
malicious persons have reported). ISnolD ge, I say, that I (with the
consent in this behalf of my most beloved husband, Edward Barker,
Esquire), have given, granted and confirmed to the Warden and Poor
of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity in Croydon, of the foundation of
John Whitgifte, Archbishop of Canterbury, a certain annuity or yearly
rent of six pounds thirteen shillings and fourpence, of lawful money of
England, yearly to be paid and issuing from and out of our mansion-house
called Lancaster College, lying and being in the Churchyard of St. Paul,
London : Co f^abt and perceive the aforesaid annuity or yearly rent of
six pounds thirteen shillings and fourpence, to the aforesaid warden and
poor of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity in Croydon aforesaid, and their
successors, from the day of the date of these presents to the end of the
term, and for the term, of one thousand years next following, and fully
to be completed, to be paid yearly, at the four most usual feasts or
terms of the year, to wit, the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, St. Michael the Archangel, and the
Birth of our Lord, by equal portions. Sntf if it shall happen that the
said annuity, or yearly rent, shall be in arrear and unpaid, in part or in
all, for the space of one month next after any one of the feasts aforesaid,
on which as is aforesaid it ought to be paid, that then and thence-
forward, it shall and may be lawful for the aforesaid warden and poor of
the Hospital of the Holy Trinity in Croydon aforesaid, and their suc-
cessors, to enter upon our said mansion-house, and distrain, and the
distresses there taken to carry away, and keep until full satisfaction shall
be made fo^r the said annuity or yearly rent aforesaid, together with the

arrears (if any there shall be). Sutf I, Edward Barker, Esquire, Chiet
Kegistrar of the Queen's Majesty in Causes Ecclesiastical, approving the
pious charity of my most dear wife, for myself and my heirs and assigns,
in manner and form aforesaid, do confirm the donation and grant afore-
said of the annuity or yearly rent, of six pounds thirteen shillings and
four pence, to the aforesaid warden and poor, and their successors, for
the term of one thousand years, but nevertheless on this condition, that
the said warden and poor of the hospital aforesaid, or their succe^ors,
shall in no wise sell, waste, or alienate the said annuity or yearly rent,
or any part thereof. 9ntl i promtiEle and agree by these presents for
myself and my heirs, with the aforesaid warden and poor of the hospital
aforesaid and their successors, that I and my heirs and assigns, for and
duing the term of three years next ensuing, will do all and singular such
further lawful acts (when we shall be so required), at the costs and
expenses of the said warden and poor and their successors, by which
they may the more securely and the better have and possess peaceably
the said annuity or yearly rent of six pounds thirteen shillings and four
pence for the whole term of the said one thousand years ; and we have
put the said warden and poor of the hospital aforesaid into the seisin
and possession of the said annuity or annual rent, by the delivery of a
golden coin of the value of ten shillings affixed to these presents.
in Mtntii by^tttot we have set our seals to these presents, the first
day of the month of January, in the forty-third year of the reign of the
most illustrious princess in Christ, Elizabeth, by the grace of God, of
England, France, and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, &c., and in
the year of our Lord, according to the course and computation of the
English Church, one thousand six hundred.

ADDITIONAL NOTE ON THE DEED EELATING
TO JOHIir EVELYN, Esq.
Bt WILLIAM DURRANT COOPER, Esq., F.S.A.
The estates at South Mailing and Old MalUng had
come into the possession of Richard Evelyn by his
marriage with Ellen, daughter and heiress of John
Stansfield, who had purchased of Robert, Earl of Dorset,
part of the property of the suppressed college of South
Mailing, and other property at Old Mailing. In 1626
John Evelyn laid the first stone of the new church,
and, at the close of 1628, was present at its opening by
license.* It was in this year that John Evelyn was
placed with Citolin, a Erenchman at Lewes, to learn the
rudiments of Latin, and also to write ; he next went to
school with Mr. Potts, in the Cliffe, and was thence
transferred, in 1630, to the grammar school (founded by
Agnes Morley in 1512). The district of Old Mailing is
different from the collegiate property. The deed before
described is dated in June, 1635; and on the 10th
October, 1637, the mansion and greater portion of the
property was sold by E/ichard Evelyn to William
Eempe.
The first witness to the deed is John Rowe, the well-

HoMTEJVER humiliating such a confession may be, it
must be acknowledged that in former times the county
of Surrey has produced but few men who have been
distinguished in arts, in arms, or in letters. Various
causes might be assigned for this dearth of great
names. Until the resources of the soil were developed
and improved by a better system of husbandry, it
was, for the most part, barren and unproductive as
compared with many other districts, and thus it offered
but few inducements for the residence of wealthy and
powerful families. The number of monasteries and
religious houses in the county was remarkably small,
and it has never possessed either a cathedral city, or
any considerable college. As regards military affairs, the
opportunities and inducements for warlike training and
exercise have, amongst us, usually been wanting ; for
with societies, as with nations and individuals, it is
ever found that the occasion generates, or at least calls
into exercise, those qualities which the occasion requires.
Thus, a Douglas or a Scott on one side the border, never
wanted a Percy to match him on the other ; in the
marches of Wales, the Glendower was checked by a
Mortimer ; while in Ireland, the vigilance and courage of

the Lords of the Pale were kept in constant exercise by
the hostility of the native or mere Irish. But on the
chalk downs, and in the pastoral yalleys of Surrey, this
stimulus was for the moQt part wanting; and if its
inhabitants were thus exempt from the trials to which
they would have been exposed in a less quiet neigh-
bourhood, they ^so wanted that discipline and skill
which the presence of warlike neighbours is pretty sure
to engender.
But not only must it be confessed that the county
has not produced many illustrious men, but it must be
owned also, that the few whom it has produced, have, for
the most part, *^ died and gone without their fame.'' It
would seem as if our local historians had considered the
soil too barren to be worth much culture, and that thus
they have passed by in silence the history of many who
are justly entitled to a place, not only-in the annals of
the county, but in those of the empire. It is of one of
these neglected families that I have now to speak ; of
those who were bom and bred in the little village of
Lingfield, of which, and of the neighbouring castle of
Sterborough, they were the lords, and within the walls of
whose parish church they were in succession entombed.
The parent stem from which the possessors of Ster*
borough sprang, was the family of the same name long
settled at Cobham, and at Cowling Castle, in Kent. A fuU
account of this family would be found extremely valuable,
not only for genealogical and topographical purposes, but
also in an historical point of view. There exist abundant
materials for such a memoir, and it seems much to be
desired that some one competent to the task would collect,
and reduce them into order* During that most eventful
and interesting epoch of our history, which comprises the
reigns of Edward III., Bichaxd II., and the fourth, fifth,

and sixth Henries, various members of this wide-spread-
ing family were employed in the most important diplo-
matic services, and were engaged in almost all the great
battles of those troubled times. Closely connected with
the Court, and usually on terms of intimate firiendship
with the reigning Sovereign and his family, they formed
alliances with the most powerfdl families in the land ;
and eventually, by the marriage of the heiress of Cob-
ham of Cowling with Sir John Oldcastle, the pedigree
of the elder branch became stained with the blood of
one of the first victims of that fierce persecution which
was instituted against the Lollards by Archbishop
ArondelL
The Sterborough branch contributed in no small
measure to swell the renown of the race from which it
sprang. It flourished indeed in its pride and power but
for four generations, yet it was remarkable, not alone for
the value and extent of its possessions, or for the noble,
and even royal alliances which it formed, but for having
produced soldiers and statesmen second to none, in one
of the brightest periods of English history. Long as
our language may endure, will men speak with pride of
those who were foremost at Crecy and Foictiers ; and
th^ will ponder also on the marvellous history of that
proud princess, the wife of the Lord Protector, whom
all her husband's power and influence could not shield
from the vengeance of his uncle, and who was thus
compelled, bareheaded and barefooted, with a lighted
taper in her hand, and a white sheet around her, to do
penance as a sorceress in the lanes and market-places of
London.
The account of this family, as printed by Dugdale

curate, prindpally, it would seern^ from want of atten-

,tion while passing through the press. He has thus
. contradicted himself, and confused persons of the same
name, more than once ; and, as usual, his loose state-
ments have been adopted by subsequent compilers.
To attempt a complete recension of Dugdale's article
would indeed be a useful task for many purposes ; but it
is one which, on the present occasion, I am not called
upon, and do not propose, to undertake. Some cor-
rections of his mis-statements, so far as regards the
Surrey Hue, will, howeyer, be found appended to the
pedigree which is subjoined.
The common ancestor of the Kentish and Surrey
branches of the family was John de Cobhamj^ a Justice
itinerant in the reign of Henry TIL, who died in or
about the 36th year of that king, having purchased the
manors of Cowling and Westchalke, in the county of
Kent. He is said, and in all probability with reason
(though I find no direct evidence of record or charter
in support of the assertion), to have been married
twice ; first to Joan, daughter of William or Warrine
Pitz-Benedict ; secondly to Joan, daughter of Hugh de
Nevill. He left certainly five sons surviving him:
(1) John de Cobham the younger, his heir, ancestor of
the Cobhams of Cobham and Cowling, and of Beluncle,
county Kent, and Pipardsclive, county Wilts ; (2) Henry
de Cobham of Eoundal, or Randalls, and Hever in Hoc,
county Kent, whose posterity long continued settled
there ; (3) Sir Reginald, of whom presently ; (4) James ;
(5) William. Of these, John and Henry seem to have
' sprung from a first marriage ; the remaining three from
the second. James and William appear to have left
no issue male. Of Sir Reginald, the eldest son of the
Assumed second marriage, we know little more than that
^rior to the 13th Edward I., he had married Joan,

daughter and heir (or co-heir) of William de Evere, pro-
bably the same person, who, by the name of William de
Heure, had a grant of freewarren in the 9th of Edward I.
(Rot. Chart, ej. an. num. 87), in Chidingstan, and Heure
(Hever), in Kent, and in all his demesnes in lingefeld,
county Surrey ; which last-mentioned lands would seem
to have descended through his daughter to the Cobham
family. He was succeeded by his son and heir, Reginald,
the first Lord Cobham of Sterborough, bom about 1295,
as appears from an inquisition taJ^en on the death of
his uncle William (whose heir he was), in the 14th of
Edward II., when he was twenty-five years old and
upwards. ^ This nobleman may justly be regarded as
the founder of the Surrey branch of the family, as well
as the most illustrious member of the illustrious stock
from which it was an oflFshoot. He not only greatly
increased its possessions, but raised its renown to the
highest pitch, having made himself eminent amongst the
many eminent men of Edward the Third's reign. The
account of his employments and exploits will be found
at large in Dugdale's " Baronage," and it seems needless,
therefore, for our present purpose, to do more than
notice those which appear the most interesting. In the
second year of Edward III., he was sent on an embassy
into Brabant, and in the following year (1329) he was
in the train of the king on his expedition to Erance, and
was present at Amiens, when Edward did homage to the
king of Erance for the diichy of Aquitaine and the
earldoms of Poitou and Montreuil. In the 14th of
Edward III., on account of his great wisdom and fidelity,
he was sent on a special embassy to the Pope. In the
following year he obtained a charter to embattle or cas-
tellate his manor-houses of Orkesden in Kent, and of

PrixLkhaxa in Surrey; which last was thenceforward
known as Streburgh or Stereburgh, afterwards corrupted
into Starborough Castle. In the 17th of Edward III.,
he was again sent to Borne as one of the ambassadors to
treat before Pope Clement *VI. with Philip de Valois,
king of Prance, concerning the truce. To narrate the
battles and sieges at which he was present, would be to
recount almost every one of those famous combats which
occurred in Prance and Planders during the first thirty-
five years of Edward the Third's reign, and the memory
of which is preserved in Proissart's pages. He was at
the battles of Cogant and Vironfosse, at the siege of
Toumay, and in the expedition into Brittany. la these
wars he had for his companions, the King himself,
Henry, Duke of Lancaster, the Black Prince, Sir Walter
Manny, Sir John Chandos, and the other barons and
knights of this time, who, by their successes against far
superior forces, carried the renown of Englishmen to a
height before unknown. The Lord Cobham seems ever
to have borne himself as one worthy of such coniirades.
He was one of the principal leaders at the battle of
Crecy, and it was to his caxe, and to that of Sir John
Chandos and the Earl of Warwick, that the King com-
mitted the Black Prince, who was then to make his first
essay in arms.
Proissart's narrative of this transaction has beeia. too
often quoted to warrant its repetition here ; but it is so
characteristic of the men and of the times, as to be
worth the while of any reader unacquainted with it, to
turn to the passage (vol. ii. p. 167)*
At the battle of Poictiers, the Lord Cobham manned
in the van as Marshal of the Blade Prince's army» and
he had the good fortune to save the king of Prance from
the hands of his actual captors, who were quarrelling

which should have him^ and in the strife were like to
have slain him. Having received him from these
knights, he conducted him with great respect and cour«
tesy to the Prince,
It was not to be expected that one who had so long,
and so well, served such a king as Edward III., and that
in most important transactions, both military and civil,
should be left unrewarded or unhonoured. We find the
records of numerous grants and gifts made to him at
various pmods. Thus^ amongst many other benefactions,
in the 13th of Edward III., when he Was made a Knight
Banneret, he had assigned to him for the better support
of that dignity, the mill under the Castle at Oxford, and
the meadow there, called the King's Mede. In the 18th
of Edward III. he ^as made admiral of the king's fleet,
from the mouth of the Thames westwards, which grant
was renewed four years later. In the 21st of Edward III.
he had a grant of an annuity of £500 for life, the
better to support his degree and dignity of Banneret.
From the 16th to the 35th of Edward III., he was sum-
moned to Parliament by writy and in 1852, upon the
death of Sir Thomas Wale, he was elected a Knight of
the Garter (being the fourth knight in order of election),
and filled the ninth stall on the Prince's side, where his
plate still remains. At his death he was possessed of
the manors of Oaksted 6r Oxted, and Prinkham or
Sterborough in Lingfield ; of Langley Burrell and Lye,
in Wilts ; of Northey in Sussex ; and of West Cleve,
East Cleve, Bordefielde, Horton, Orkesden, Eynesford,
Eancourt, Chidingstone, Holtesbury, Brokeland, and
Halstede, m Kent. It is reasonable to believe that he
would acquire great wealth from the ransom of some of
the numerous lords and knights who were taken pri-
soners at the battles of Grecy and Poictiers, and from
122 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
the spoils of those who were slain. Thus it appears
from the Patent Rolls, that in the 33rd of Edward III.,
the king gave him a bond for 6,000 old florins de scuto,
part of the ransom for the Count de Longueville, one of
the king's prisoners belonging to him ; and Froissart
relates that at Poictiers, he made the Count de Damp-
martin prisoner. We learn from the same source, that
the Lord Cobham was appointed, with Sir Richard Staf-
ford, to take an account of those who fell at Crecy on
the Prench side ; that they were accompanied by three
heralds, appointed to discover the names and rank of
the slain by their armorial bearings, and two priests to
take down the names ; and that they found there, eighty
standards, and the bodies of eleven princes, twelve
hundred knights, and three thousand men-at-arms.
Lord Cobham was not destined to meet his death in
battle. In the autumn of 1361, he died of what was
called the second pestilence, which proved fatal to so
many eminent persons, and in particular to his old
companions in arms, Henry, Duke of Lancaster (the
father-in-law of John of Gaunt), and William Pitz
Waryn, to several of the bishops, and many of the
clergy and gentry.
Strange as it may appear, neither the chronicles of
his own time, nor the topographers of later times, afford
any information as to the burial-place of one who played
so important a part in the wars and diplomacy of his
country. A Knight of the Garter, when that honour
was the token of services in the field ; an ambassador
to various foreign states ; a Lord Admiral; a principal
leader in two of the most famous battles in which Eng-
lishmen were ever engaged ; the companion and friend of
the noblest of his contemporaries — we might have ex-
pected that some intimation would have been given of
EFFIGY OF REGINALD, FIRST IXDRD COBHAM OF STERBOROUGH.
OF STEEBOROUGH CASTLE. 123
the place in which his remains were entombed. No
allusion, however, to the subject is to be found in
Aubrey's " History of Surrey," or in that of Manning
and Bray, or in later histories, although these writers
profess to describe the church of lingfield, and notice
the tomb under which the knight is interred, which they
describe as a marble altar-tomb with the effigy of a
knight in armour. It was from a casual allusion in his
son's will, that I first learned the place of this lord's burial.
Reginald, the second Lord Cobham, in giving directions
for his own burial, desired that it should be in the parish
church of Lingfield, and he designates the exact spot, as
was frequently done in wills of the period. It was to be
" de rere le teste mon tres honorable sieur et pier," —
behind the head of his very honourable lord and father.
On visiting the church, it will be seen that the son's
tomb is now placed parallel with that of the father, rather
than behind it ; but it has evidently been removed from
its original position. The tomb, of which engravings
are here given, is evidently that of the first Lord Cob-
ham. Not only is it the only one in the church of
an older date than that of the son, and therefore the
only one that answers to the description given in
his will, but it will be found, on examination, that
the left leg of the effigy was originally encircled with
the Garter, in a kind of porcelain or enamel, some
portion of which still remains; thus evidently indi-
cating the first Lord Cobham, who was the only one
of this family thus distinguished. The crest upon the
helmet on which the knight's head reposes, viz. a Moor's
or Turk's head, clothed with a turban (the same figure
being also repeated at the feet of the effigy), corresponds
with the plate on this knight's stall in St. George's
Chapel, and also with the crest upon the fine altar-tomb
124 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
in the chancel, which is nndouhtedly that of this noble-
man's grandson. Not improbably, this crest was adopted
to commemorate some adventure in which this lord's
ancestor, Henry de Cobham^ was engaged, when he
accompanied Eichard I« to the Holy Ijand. It is re-
ferred to as ** a Soldan '^ in Joan Lady Cobbam's will,
given in the Appendix^
The tomb, as usaal^ has been much mutilated. The
effigy of the knight is represented with the face un-
covered, and a conical helmet upon the head, with a
camail of chain mail attached to it, and falling bdow the
chin« This camail originally was wrought in blue and
silver enamel. The body is covered with a cyclas, or
short ^rcoat^ which has once been richly gilt, and was
emblazomed with the arms of Cobham upon the breast.
This is confined by a girdle composed of small square
plaques filled in with blue enamel, and much resembling
in its character that on the effigy of the Black Prince
at Canterbury. The plate armour consists of jointed
greaves and brassarts^ and vambraoeSf with small aux-
iliary plates to protect the elbow and knee joints. The
knees are protected by genotdlliires, and the legs are
covered with short buskins, aiding just above the prick
spurs, which are fastened with straps and buckles. Three
are twelve escutcheons upon the tomb, of which, how->
ever, only six are now visible, and the armorial bearings
upon these are almost effaced. It appears, however,
from a MS. and drawing made by Vincent, imd pre-
served in the College of Arms, that eight out of these
twdlve shields were in his time emblazoned as follows :
1. GuleS) on a chevron or, 3 estoiles sable. — Gcibham of Sterhorcugh
2. -Galea a chevron between 6 cross orossletts in chief, and 4 in base
argent. — Berkeley.

7. Argent a ctcnbb flory or, in the first GantoQ, a martlet cfr, — PcBvdy.
8. Asure^ 3 Boses or. — CoaynUnK
The tomb having been much injuredi faint traces only
are seen of the first three coats^ and also of another
shield which is not figured in the drawing preserved at
the College of Arms ; viz. Cobham impaling Berkeley.
This latter shield commemorates the first lord's mar*
riage with Joan^ daughter of Thomas Lord Berkeley
(third of that name). Dugdale (quoting a careless state*
ment of Robert Glover's) makes her a daughter of
Mawrice de Berkeley ; and both Sir William Segar and
Vincent, in their MS. Baronages5 preserved in the
College of Arms, adopt this error. In his article on the
Berkeley family, however, Dugdale states her to have
been daughter of Thomas ; and this is clearly so, for her
will (set out in the Appendix) states distinctly that her
husband purchased the manor of Langley Burrell, Wilts,
of John de la Mare, in her honoured father's presence ;
and she goes on to direct that a chapel shall be endowed
by her son, with the advowson of that church, for the
health of the souls of the said Sir John de la Mare, and
of Thomas Lord Berkeley : while it further appears from
Smyth's ^ lives of the Berkeleys,*' that this manor, with
the advowson, was purchased by Thomas Lord Berke-
ley in the same year in which his daughter was married
(17th Edward III.)> and was given to her as a marriage
portion.
Another mistake as to this lord's marriage occurs in
Sir William Segar^s pedigree. He states, that Lord
Cobham married a first wife, Elizabeth, daughter to
Hugh, second Earl of Stafford, and widow of Sir John
Ferrers of Chartley. But this Hugh certainly was not
I
126 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
born until 1344, and Lord Cobham was undoubtedly
married before 1348 (as his eldest son was born in that
year) to Joan Berkeley, who survived him, Mr. Beltz,
in his History of the Order of the Garter, has fallen into
much the same error ; he makes Elizabeth Stafford the
second wife of this lord. These mistakes have obviously
arisen from confounding Reginald the son, who probably
did marry the daughter of an Earl of Stafford, with
Reginald the father ; and this error again may probably
be traced to the circumstance that at one time (as already
noticed) the arms of Cobham impaling those of Stafford
were depicted on the father's tomb. This proceedings
as in similar instances, could hardly fail to produce
much confusion. Probably when lingfield College was
founded, and the church was rebuilt, by the first lord's
grandson, about, the year 1431, this tomb was restored,
and was then adorned with the arms of those families
which were the most recent alliances, and the old ones
were necessarily omitted. In no other- way can we account
for the circumstance, that while the arms of Cobham of
Cobham, of Neville, and of de Hever, this nobleman's
immediate ancestors, are wanting, those of Stafford (his
son's wife) and de Roos (his grand-daughter's husband)
are preserved, together with those of Badlesmere,
Cosyngton, Valenges, and Paveley, with whom we have
no reason to believe that he was in any way allied.
By his wife, Joan Berkeley, this lord left one son,
Reginald, then aged thirteen years, and also a daughter,
Joan, married to Lord Henry de Grey, from whom the
noble family of Grey- of Codnor is descended. One of
the daughters of this marriage (Joan) is named as a
legatee in Lady Cobham' s will, but neither she nor her
mother is named in any of the pedigrees preserved in
the College of Arms.
OF STEEBOEOUGH CASTLE. 127
It is certain that this nobleman left a will, since that
of his widow contains frequent allusions to its provisions.
A yery diligent search has not, however, enabled me to
discover any traces of it, further than that it was proved
at the Bishop of Winchester's palace, Southwark, on
7th of October, 1361, by the executors, Amand Tythlyng,
and a certain " I," possibly Joan his widow.'
JOAN, WIFE OF REGINALD, FIRST LORD COBHAM
OF STERBOROUGH.
As already noticed, the first Ix)rd Cobham inter-
married with Joan, daughter of Thomas, Lord Berkeley
(third of that name), and sister of Maurice (fourth of
the name). In Smyth's " lives of the Berkeleys," it is
said that her marriage portion was £2,000 in money,
and also the manor of Langley Burrell, Wilts ; but in her
will she states that her htisband purchased this manor,
and also the manor of Lye, of John de la Mare, in her
father's presence. Possibly both accounts may be re-
conciled by assuming that her husband made the
purchase, and her father supplied the funds.
This lady survived her husband eight years, having
died 2nd October, 1369. A brass effigy is still preserved
on the north aisle of Lingfield Church, of which the
annexed engraving is given in the able work on monu-
mental brasses compiled by Mr. Haines, who suggests
that it was probably intended to mark the burial-
place of this Lady Cobham. There are, however, many,
and strong objections to this hypothesis. The brass in
question is of a very inferior design and coarse work-
manship, and is altogether such a one as would hardly
2 Registr. Edjndop,
128 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF OOBHAM
be placed over the remains of a lady of great wealth and
position, and so nobly allied ; especially as the tombs of
this family were, as Mr. Haines justly observes, remark-
able for the beauty and elaborate workmanship of their
brass effigies. Besides, as will be seen, she gave such
careful and precise directions for her burial in St. Mary
Oyery's churchyard, and accompanied them with such
liberal benefactions to those who should assist at her
obsequies, that it is hardly possible that her wishes in
this respect should have been disregarded. It seems far
more reasonable to believe that the brass figured by
Mr. Haines was placed over the grave of Isabella, the
wife of Beginald Cobham, of Gatwick. The inscription
is torn away, but it appears, from some ancient notes in
the College of Arms, which have been preserved and
arranged by the care of Bobert Laurie, Esq., CkMrencieux^
that there was formerly an inscription remaining on some
tombstone in the church (and this is now the only one
that seems to have lost its inscription), as follows : —
*^ Hie jacet Isabella Cobham
Uxor Reginaldi Cobham de Gatewjok
qoffi obiit 2<» die ApriHs Anno Domini 1460.*'
The first Lady Cobham's will is dated August 13,
1369, and is preserved in the register of Archbishop
Wittlesey. A short and imperfect notice of it is to be
found in the Harleian MSS., which Sir Harris Nicolas
has copied in the " Testamenta Vetusta ;" and this again
has been adopted by several of our county historians.
The will is one of the most elaborate documents of
the kind (of the same early date) extant^ It contains
many interesting and minute particulars, as well in
relation to the lady's own family, as to the manners
and customs of the period, and her possessions in plate,
books, and furniture. These have been left unnoticed
OF STEEBOBOUGH CASTLE. 129
in the published abstraots, and I have therefore
thought it best to subjoin a complete transcript with
a translation.
Amongst other things, she directed her body to be
buried in the churchyard of Bt, Mary Overy^ spelt in
the will, " Oeerthere!^ before the door, over which the
blessed Virgin sittetb on high. She was to be interred
under a plain marble stone, with a cross of metal, and
around it these words in French x-^
** VouB <|ai par id passietgy
Pur Talme Johane do Cobham prletz.**
She directs that before everything ehe, 7,000 masses shall
be celebrated for her soul immediately alter her death,
and that they shall on no account be delayed or deferred ;
and that there should be paid for them £29. Ss. 4d.
Amongst many articles of plate, and jewels, and books,
and garments, bequeathed to various friends and rela-
tions, she mentions a horn made of a griffin's hoof, with
a silver gilt cover. She gives legacies to the priests, and
to the sisters ministering in St« Thomas's Hospital, also
to the sick persons lying there, and to the prisoners
lying in chains and fetters near St. George's, Southwark.
It will be seen that amongst other objects of her bounty,
she distinguishes Katherine Stoket, one of her damsels
or ladies in waiting, and together with various corsets,
and gowns and hoods, she bequeathed to her twenty
marks for her advancement, — * * pro promotione 9ud.** It
would seem, however, that notwithstanding the pos-
session of these garments and the twenty marks,
Katherine never did come to her promotion. On the
chancel floor of lingfield church may yet be seen the
effigy of a woman, with hands meekly clasped upon her
breast, and an inscription beseeching the prayers of the
faithful for the soul's repose of her who lies below.
130 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
The family of Stokett, of which Katherine doubtless
was a member, was at this date settled at Oxted, in
which parish there is yet a manor known by their name.
Oxted being part of the possessions of the Cobhams, and
immediately adjoining. to Sterborongh, its inhabitants
conld hardly fail to be on friendly terms with the
lords of the neighbouring castle. Thus we find that
)n 1345| Boger at Stokett, son and heir of John (and
very probably brother of Katherine) » was in ward to the
lord of the manor of Oxted ; and in the bailiff's accounts,
ten pence per week for thirty weeks is charged for his
commons on going to school, seven weeks being deducted
when he was at Sterborpugh (probably for his holidays),
and in addition, the sum of eleven pence is charged for
cloth for one pair of hose, a penny for sewing, and ten
pence for two pairs of shoes.*
Allusion is made in this Lady Cobham's will to a
transaction of which I have found no other instance.
Amongst Robert Glover* s notices of the family of Cob-
ham of Cobham, to which reference is made in the notes
to the pedigree subjoined, is preserved a document of
which the following is a translation : —
'* Memorandum, that John de la Mare, Knight, sold the manor of
Langley Burrell, Wilts, to Lord Eeginald Cobham, the Mher of Lord
Reginald de Cobham who now is, on condition that the said Beginald
should endow two chantries, in which prayers should daily be offered
for the souls of the said John de la Mare and his ancestors, which
chantries by the will of the said Lord Reginald, the son of the said
Lord Reginald, were established in the collegiate church of Cobham, &cJ*
In the same collection is also preserved a deed, by which,
in the fifth year of Richard !!• (1382), Ralph de Cob-
ham, of the county of Devon, gave to Sir John de Cob-
ham, lord of Cobham, to Reginald de Cobham, parson
« Manning and Bray, Hist, of Surrey, ii 389.
OF STEEBOROUGH CASTLE. 131
of Northfleet, and to Ralph de Cobham of Chafford,
the manor of Sharnden, and the marsh of Elmele, as
security that Reginald de Cobham, Lord of Sterborough,
or his heirs, should appropriate to the College of Cobham
a church of the full value of forty marks, &c. It seems
probable that this appropriation was intended as a pro-
vision for the masses to be celebrated for the soul of Sir
John and his ancestors, in compliance with the stipula-
tion made when he sold Langley Burrell.
It will be seen, on reference to Lady Cobham' s will,
that she also mentions this purchase and the condition
annexed to it, as described in the memorandum above
referred to. It would appear that the engagement had
not been fulfilled in her husband's lifetime, and she
conscientiously directs, that if her son should appropriate
the church of Langley Burrell for the maintenance of
two priests to celebrate the masses in question for the
souls of Sir John de la Mare, and those of her own
husband and father, her executors should enfeoff her son
and his heirs in her water-mill at Edun Bridge, and her
house in Southwark, so that he might bear the burthen,
and in time to come might answer on this account for
her deceased lord, and for her soul, before the Supreme
Judge.
Por some reason or other, it would seem that the
church of Langley Burrell never was appropriated for
the pious uses thus designated, and it was probably
considered equally eflBcacious, and much more con-
venient, that the chapels in question should be endowed
in the college or chantry at Cobham, which had been
founded in 1361, by John Lord Cobham of Kent ; and this
endowment was doubtless considered suflScient to satisfy
the condition contained in Lady Cobham' s will ; inas-
much as the water-mill in Edenbridge, and the house in
VOL. II. L
132 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
South wark, certainly passed to her son. The latter was
the hostel or town house of the family. It was known
as Cobham's Inn, and formed part of the possessions with
which Reginald, the grandson of this Lady Cobham,
long afterwards endowed his own college of lingfleld.
Prom another document preserved by Glover, we learn
that all the masses for Lady Cobham were not celebrated
until more than twelve years after her death ; for, in the
fourth year of Richard IL, Richard Maubanke, one of
her executors, appointed John de Cobham, Lord of Cob-
ham, his attorney, to pay to the prioress of Higham in
Kent, £20, which the said Lord Cobham had formerly
received from Amand Pythlyng, Canon of St. Paul's,
London (another of the executors), that the said prioress,
together with the convent of Higham, should pray for
the souls of the said Dame Joan, and of Sir Reginald de
Cobham her husband, and of all Christians.
REGINALD, SECOND LOED COBHAM OF
STERBOROUGH.
This nobleman, the only son of the first Lord, was
born in 1348, and was thus only thirteen years of age
when his father died. At the date of his mother's will,
eight years later, he had already been engaged in the
wars of that troubled time, for she mentions certain
silver dishes and salt-cellars which she had delivered to
him when he went into Gascony. In 44th and 46th
Edward III. he was summoned to parliament. In,48th
Edward III. he was one of those noble persons who
were chosen to treat of peace with the king of Erance,
and he was in the Erench wars in the first year of
Richard IL, and also in the third year of Henry IV.
OF STEBBOROUGH CASTLE. 133
It is stated in Dugdale's " Baronage/' that he was twice
married, his first wife being Elizabeth, the widow of
Fulk le Strange, and afterwards of Sir John Ferrers, of
Chartley. Prom the Inquisitionea post mortem^ it
appears that this lady died 49th Edward III. (1374),
and that she held for her life the manor of Wrokwar-
dyn, Salop, with remainder to the heirs of John le
Strange, of Blakemere ; also that she held for her life
the manor of Broughton, Wilts, and (conjointly with
John de Eerrers, her late husband) the manors of
Teynton and Bicknore, Gloucestershire; and that
Robert de Eerrers was the son and heir of the said
Elizabeth and John. It is also stated that she was the
daughter of Hugh, earl of Staflfbrd. No mention of her
is to be found in this earl's will, although he does
mention by name several of his sons and daughters ; but
the statement derives some confirmation from the cir-
cumstance of the Stafford arms having been depicted
on the first Lord Cobham's tomb.
In the inquisition, this lady is stated to have been the
wife of " Reginald Cobham^ CMvaler^^ and it seems
not very improbable (in the absence of any other evi-
dence) that she may have been the wife of one of the
other knights of the same name, of whom there were
several living at this date.
After his first wife's decease (if indeed he were twice
married), Lord Cobham, about the year 1380, married
Eleanor, the daughter of John Maltravers (who died in
the lifetime of his father, John, Lord Maltravers), and
co-heiress, with her two sisters, of her brother Henry
Maltravers. This lady was the widow of Sir John
Eitz-Alan, marshal of England, who was shipwrecked
and drowned in the Irish Channel, while in command
of a force of two hundred men-at-arms, and four hun-

dred archers, which the king had despatched to the aid
of the duke of Brittany, in December, 1379. He was the
son of Richard, fifth earl of Arundell (by his second
countess, Eleanor, daughter of Henry Plantagenet, earl
of Lancaster), and was thus brother of the archbishop,
tod of Richard, the sixth earl, who was beheaded, by
order of Richard II., in September, 1397. Like the
archbishop and some others of his family. Sir John
Eitz-Alan assumed his father's and brother's title of
honour for his own surname. By his will (in which he
styles himself Sir John Arundell), dated in November,
1379, he directed that he should be buried in the Priory
of Lewes, in the great church there, under an arch near
the funeral chapel ; he mentions his wife, Eleanor, and
appointed Sir Robert Rouse and Maltravers execu-
tors. He left several children by Eleanor Maltravers, and
amongst them, John, who eventually became ninth earl
of Arundell, and a Knight of the Garter ; Margaret, who
married William, Lord de Roos, of Hamlake, K.G. ; and
William, who died in 1400. Agnes, the widow of
William, died in the following year ; and by her will,*
dated September 6th, 1401, she gave to the priory
church of St. Andrew, Rochester, in which she desired
to be buried, under the tomb where the images of her
husband and herself are depicted, " one thorn of the
crown of Jesus, wherewith he was crowned at the time
of his passion;" to her lady mother, a gold brooch,
enamelled with red and black colours, with a balass
ruby in the middle ; to her sister Roos, a " speculum^^
round and gilt, having the representation of the Trinity
on the one side, and of the Blessed Virgin on the other ;
to her sister, Margaret Cobham, " duos uncials de perlys

There appears to have been some relationship between
Lord Cobham and Sir John Pitz-Alan's widow, the
nature of which has not hitherto been very accurately
defined. In a MS. pedigree of the family, preserved in
the Bodleian Library, and which purports to have been
compiled by Sir William Dugdale and Sir Richard St.
George, it is stated that Eleanor's paternal grandmother
(Ela or Eva) was the daughter of Maurice Lord Berke-
ley.^ No mention, however, is made of this lady in
the account of the Berkeley family contained in Dug-
dale's " Baronage/' nor in Smyth's " Lives of the Berke-
leys," nor in Posbroke's " History of Gloucestershire."
These authorities concur in representing Joan as the
only daughter of Thomas, and that all the daughters
of the fourth Maurice died unmarried ; and that the
third Maurice had but one daughter, Isabel, the wife of
Robert Lord Clifford. In one of the MS. pedigrees of
the Cobham family, preserved in the Harleian Collection,
and which purports to have been compiled by Mr.
Heneage, Keeper of the Records in the Tower, Joan,
the wife of the first Lord Cobham, and Ela or Eva, the
wife of the second lord, are bracketed together, appa-
rently as if nearly related ; and it is also mentioned, that
the second lord was divorced from his wife on account
of their being related in the third degree of consan-
guinity, that they procured a dispensation to contract a
fresh marriage, and that several of their children were
* ViDcent (cited by Mr. Greenfield, Topographer and Genealogist,
ii. 312) makes the same statement.
136 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
bom before, and several after, such second marriage.
The fact of this relationship throws some light upon
the marriage of John Baron Maltravers, about which
but little is known, and tends to strengthen the state-
ment, that his first wife was daughter of Maurice Lord
Berkeley. And assuming Maurice, the third of that
name, to be meant, slie would then be sister of the
second Lord Cobham's maternal grandfather ; and her
own grand-daughter, Eleanor Maltravers, and her
brother's grandson, would be second cousins, and re-
lated in the third degree of the Canon Law.
The proceedings relative to this dispensation, which
are fully recorded in Archbishop Courtney's register
(folio 58 et seqq.), afford an interesting illustration of
the perils which beset the path of those who braved the
anger of the Church by marrying within the degrees
forbidden by the canon law; they also throw some
light upon the methods by which those vast funds were
provided, which were required for the erection of our
cathedrals and other public edifices.
The process, which was long, and doubtless propor-
tionably expensive, commenced by a humble petition from
the husband and wife to the Pope (Urban VI.), setting
forth that, notwithstanding they were aware that they
were related to each other in the third degree of con-
sanguinity, they had, nevertheless, publicly contracted
a marriage per t>erha de pr(B8ent% no banns having been
published, in the face of the Church, and that they
were unable to continue in such a matrimony unless the
Pope's apostolical dispensation were obtained. Upon
this petition, the Pope issued his bull (dated at Naples,
the 14th kalends of May, in the seventh year of his
elevation), in which, after setting out the petition, he
empowers the archbishop, if he should think proper,
OF STEUBOROUGH CASTLE. 137
and provided also that the petitioner and his wife should
remain separate as long as he should see fit, to grant
them a dispensation to contract a fresh marriage, and
to legitimate their issue, as well begotten as to be
begotten. He directed, however, that whichever of
them should survive the other should remain for ever
after unmarried. Upon this, the archbishop issued a
commission addressed to the bishop of Rochester, and
dated Sept. 9th, 1384, setting forth the bull, and re-
citing that he himself being much occupied with his
metropolitan visitation, and other urgent business, was
unable personally to attend to the aifair ; and he there-
fore empowers the bishop to execute all the functions
committed to him by the Pope's bull, and to grant to
Lord and Lady Cobham the required dispensation, if
they should consent to live apart from each other for one
whole month. On 11th November following, the bishop
made his return to this commission, certifying that he
had examined the parties and also their witnesses, and
had received their confessions, and had thereupon
granted them full absolution, and also the apostolical
dispensation to contract a fresh marriage, and to render
their issue legitimate.
It might be supposed that the cousins were now out
of their troubles; but the Church had not yet done with
them. On 6th January (1384-5), the archbishop issued
a fresh commission to the bishop of Rochester for the
infliction upon the guilty pair of the following acts of
penance, viz. : — ^That as long as either of them should
live, they should provide a secular priest to celebrate
for them in the cathedral church of Canterbury, at some
altar to be appointed by the Prior of that church ; also,
inasmuch as they had remained in their unlawful mar-
riage for the space of four years without a dispensation,
138 NOTICES OP THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
they were, for the space of four whole years, to abstain
from eating meat, and from drinking wine on every
Wednesday {singulis qiiartisferiis)^ and at each of the
six fasts they were to refrain from eating of that kind
of fish which was the best, and the most agreeable to
them. Purther, for the same period of four years, they
were enjoined to feed daily four poor persons, waiting
upon them in person, publicly, a little before dinner-time,
in the great hall, if they should be at home ; but if not,
then they were to be served by the most honourable
person at that time in the house, and each pauper was
to have one loaf, with one dish or ration of flesh or fish
according to the season, and the half of a flagon of ale ;
and in addition, they were to be clothed at the expense
of the penitents once in every year with tunics and
hoods of russet. They were further required to expend,
for the reparation of the walls of the city of Canterbury,
two hundred marks, to be paid to the prior or sub-prior
of the church there, or to William Topcly ve, at the next
feast of the Annunciation, and one hundred marks for
the building of Rochester bridge, to be paid to the prior
of the church there, or to the same William Topclyve ;
and they were to produce the acquittances for these
various sums to the bishop. The bishop made his return
to this commission, dated March 1st, certifying that
these sums had been duly paid, and the acquittances
duly produced to him ; and on 3rd December following,
the archbishop issued his monition to Lord Cobham
and his wife, enjoining them to the due performance
of what renaained unperformed of their penance, on pain
of excommunication : and thus, it is to be presumed,
this tedious process was at last closed.
It appears from Archbishop Arundel's register, that
on 7th August, 1402, one Clement Eccleston was
OF STBKBOEOUGH CASTLE. 139
collated to St. Mary's chauntry, in the parish church of
Croydon, to which he had heen presented on the resig-
nation of John Park, hy William Draper, vicar (the
rector being absent), Thomas de Bergh, William Oliver,
John Praunceys, Walter at Grene, John Scarlet, John
Rychard, John Spycer, John Staunton, William Ham-
mon, Richard Rook, and Richard Wake, parishioners
of the said church, in whom the patronage of the
chauntry had been vested by the founder's appoint-
ment ; and it is stated that the chauntry had been then
lately founded by the noble Sir Reginald Cobham, lord
of Steresburgh. In Manning and Bray's History of
Surrey, it is said that the incumbent was to pray for
the souls of Reginald Lord Cobham and Joan his wife,
and their children, and all Christian souls. Steinman,
in his History of Croydon, says, of Thomas Lord Berkley
also. This, however, does not appear from the arch-
bishop's register, nor is any authority quoted in support
of the statement. It appears from the minister's and
bailiflp's accounts in the Augmentation Office, that this
chauntry was endowed with lands in and near the town
of Croydon, which were valued, at the suppression of
colleges and chapels (3rd lEdward VI.), at £16. \8. 2d,
per annum. It does not appear that those estates ever
formed part of the founder's patrimony, nor does it
seem that he had any connection whatever with the
town of Croydon. We know, however, from other
sources, that the beautiful parish church in which this
chauntry was founded was just at this time in course of
erection, having been commenced by Archbishop Court-
ney, and continued by his successors, Arundell and
Chicheley. It seems not improbable, therefore, that out
of regard to Archbishop Arundell (his wife's brother-
in-law), or at his instigation. Lord Cobham may have
140 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
founded this chauntry in the church of which the arch-
bishop was the patron, and which immediately adjoined
his palace ; or it may be, that he was induced to endow
it, by way of further expiation of his oflfence in marry-
ing his second cousin without the papal dispensation.
Lord Oobham died in 1403, a few days only before
the battle of Shrewsbury, and was buried, pursuant to
the directions contained in his will, in the parish church
of Lingfield. His tomb still remains there, inlaid with
an ef&gy in brass, of which an accurate representation
is here given.
This effigy gives an excellent and instructive repre-
sentation of the armour in use at this period, showing
how much more elaborate and elegant it had become in
the forty years which had elapsed since his father's
death. He is represented in plate armour, with a
pointed skull-cap, and a hood of chain mail to protect
the neck, and a skirt of mail also. The epitaph, in
Leonine hexameters, diflFers so much from the style of
those in use on such occasions, that, though it has
already appeared in print, I may be pardoned for re-
producing it here. That part of the brass which bore
the words given in brackets has long been broken away
and lost ; but, from an ancient manuscript copy in the
College of Arms, I have been able to supply them : —
*' T>e Steresburgh dominus de Cobhatn S' Eeginaldus
Hie jacet. Hie validns miles fuit ut leopardus.
[Sagax consiliis, satis audax omnibus horis,]
In cunetis terris famam predavit honoiis.
Dapsilis in mensis^ formosus, morigerosus,
Largus in expensis, imperterritus, generosus.
Et quando plaeuit Messisa quod moreretur,
Expirans obiit. In coelis glorificetur.
Mille quadringeno trino . . Julii (quoque trino)
Migravit ecelo — sit sibi vera quies ;
Amen. Paternoster."
OF STERBOROUGH CASTLE. 141
Rendered into English, this epitaph informs us that
he was brave as a leopard, wary in conncil, yet bold
enough when occasion required ; that he carried away
renown from, all lands, was sumptuous in his house-
keeping, handsome, aflPable, munificent, undaunted, and
generous; and that when it pleased the Messiah that
he should die, he breathed his last.
The description here given bears a close resemblance
to the well-known passage in the prologue to the
"Canterbury Tales," in which Chaucer gives the
character of his knight. As he and Lord Cobham
were contemporaries, and were both in attendance upon
Edward III. and his queen, it seems not impossible
that the poet may have intended thus gracefuUy to
commemorate a friend and companion.
The second baron greatly increased the family pos-
sessions, probably by both his marriages ; but whether
these fortunate alliances were due to the courage, or to
the beauty, or to the other virtues described in such
glowing terms on his tomb, the chronicles of the period
do not state. It appears from the inquisition taken
after his death, that besides the estates which descended
to him from his father, he was possessed of no less than
forty other manors and estates in various counties, in-
cluding one third part of the manors of Buckland, West
Beeheworth, Wauton, and CoUe, in Surrey ; of which
last he was seized in right of his widow, they being her
dower of her first marriage.
His will, which is in Prench, and of which a trans-
cript from Archbishop Arundell's register at Lambeth,
with a translation, are now subjoined, affords an inter-
esting example of the wills of the period. It wiU be
seen that while he gives nearly £400 to be laid out in
various masses and prayers for the dead, only two
142 NOTICES OP THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
hundred marks (£133, 68. 8d.) are given for his daugh-
ter's marriage portion, in case she should be disposed
to take a husband. A sum of £100 was to be laid out
in masses for the soul of Queen Philippa, whom he
describes as his commere (gossip). In what manner
the tie of so called " spiritual af&nity/* which this word
indicates, was induced between him and the queen,
I have not been able to ascertain ; as the queen was
married about twenty-five years before he was born, it
is not probable that he was godfather to one of the
numerous children of King Edward III., and that he
thus became entitled to call the queen " commfere."
It will be seen that this lord, following his mother's
example, gave special directions in his will that the
masses which were to be celebrated for him should be
completed as soon as possible after his decease — " en si
brief temps covrC Us pourraient etre faicts ;^^ and that
the price to be paid for them is also exactly specified,
being somewhat less than that mentioned by his mother.
Lady Cobham's will is the earliest in which I have
found any such direction. Before her time, it seems to
have been usual to give a considerable sum, sometimes
the whole of the testator's estate, to be laid out in this
manner, leaving the particular mode of expending it to
the executors' discretion. This method was doubtless
found to be liable to abuse. Prom the neglect or dis-
honesty of executors, it frequently happened that the
masses were not purchased at all ; and when this did
not happen, the bequest was often a subject of strife
between the various religious orders, who, as we learn
from Chaucer and from Piers Plowman's Crede, were at
all times extremely jealous of each other, and were con-
stantly engaged in intrigues to procure these legacies,
and in disputes concerning them, when obtained. In
or STERBOROUGH CASTLE. 143
wills of later date it is not at all unusual to meet with
similar provisions ; and occasionally we find that tes-
tators also went on to direct what particular kind of
mass should be sung. Thus John de Cobham, of Hever,
directed that ten thousand masses, and twenty trentalls
of St. Gregory, should be celebrated for his soul ; while
Cardinal Beaufort (an abstract of whose will is printed
in Nicolas' " Testamenta Vetusta," and may be referred
to by the curious on such subjects), in giving instructions
to his executors, directed that 3,000 of the 10,000 masses
to be said for him, should be of requiem ; 3,000 of the
Eoly Spirit ; 3,000 of rorate cceli desuper ; and 1,000 of
the Trinity.
The Lady Margaret mentioned in Lord Cobham's
will seems to have been minded to take a husband in
her father's lifetime, although within three months of
his decease. It appears from the register of William of
Wickham (in whose diocese of Winchester the castle is
situate), that a special licence was granted by that bishop,
on 17th of April, 1403, for the solemnization in the castle
chapel of this lady's marriage with Reginald Courtays,
of Wraggeby, in Lincolnshire. It also appears from the
same register, that eleven years previously, viz. on 9th of
April, 1394, the same bishop granted a similar licence
for the marriage of this nobleman's step-daughter (being
the daughter of Eleanor, widow of Sir John Pitz-Alan),
with the Lord de Hoos. This lady, in most, if not all of
the pedigrees, is wrongly represented as the daughter of
Lord Cobham himself. She is described in the licence
as " Margareta filia Mienorce uxoris Domini Reginaldi
de Cobhcmi;'' whereas her half-sister is designated as
" Margareta Jilia Domini Hegvnaldi de Gobham.^^ And
further, in his will dated in 1400, his own daughter is
alluded to as being then unmarried, as well as in the
144 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
will of Agnes Arundell (her half-brother's widow), before
referred to, dated in 1401.
Eleanor, Lady Cobham, survived her husband but a
short time. Her will, which is preserved in Archbishop
ArundeU's register, is dated at Lychet Maltravers, Sept.
25th, — 5th Henry IV., — and was proved on 16th Jan.
1404-5. Sir Harris Nicolas, in the " Testamenta Ve-
tusta," has given short notices of the wills of this lady's
husband, and of her son William, and his wife ; but he
was not acquainted with her own will, which is both in-
teresting, in itself, and serves to throw some light on the
perplexed pedigree of this family. He was thus led into
the singular error of confounding this lady with that
Eleanor who was the wife of John, twelfth earl of
Arundell, and who died in 1445 ; and he thus imputes
it to her, that although only Sir John Arundell's
widow, she unduly styled herself countess, and her
deceased husband, earl of Arundell.* Strangely enough,
although she was undoubtedly the widow of the second
Lord Cobham, in making her wiU she styles herself
neither by his name, nor by her own maiden name of
Maltravers, but (consistently with the usage of her first
husband and his brothers), she calls herself Eleanor
Arondelly *' en pur ma viduitS.^* She directs her body
to be buried in the priory church of Lewys, in the same
"arche" with her honoured husband, Sir John Arondell;
and after the usual bequests to pious uses, she gives
legacies of plate and jewels to her family and servants.
Amongst others, she gives to my lady of Hereford (her
sister-in-law), " un tablett (Tor ov imagerie de cokile ;"
to my lady of Kent, " tm anel d^or ov mon meliowr

she directed that one half should be given to her son

her executors, and she appointed her son Richard, whom
she styles " mon entier fitz Richard,*^ to be one of her
executors.
SIR REGINALD DE COBHAM OF STERBOROUGH.
On the death of his father, in 1403, Reginald, his
only son, succeeded to his estates, but it does not appear
that he was ever summoned to the House of Lords. He
seems not to have taken any active part in the wars
of his time, although he lived in a warlike epoch.
His name, indeed, appears as one of the retinue retained
to accompany the King on his first voyage to Prance,
in the third year of his reign, but he is not mentioned
in the Roll of Azincour, as having taken part in that
great battle. In the tenth year of Henry IV. he
obtained a special licence to travel beyond seas.
146 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
He was twice married ; first, to Eleanor, the daughter
of Sir Thomas Colepeper, whose eflB.gy in brass (of which
an engraving faces this page) is yet preserved in Ling-
field Church, although in imperfect condition. This
lady died in 1422, and he then intermarried with Ann,
daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Lord Bardolf, and
widow of Sir William Clifford, Knight. This second
marriage must have occurred in, or shortly before 1427,
since in the minutes of the proceedings of the Privy
Council for that year, we find that it was agreed by the
lords of the council, that a warrant should be issued to
the Treasurer of the Exchequer, concerning the pay-
ment to Reginald de Cobham, Knight, of Sterborough,
who had married Anna, late the wife of William Clifford,
Knight, deceased, executrix of the said William, and
who had accounted in the King's Exchequer, for the
office of captain and constable of Eronsak in Acqui-
taine, for the time in which the said William held
the said office, and after his decease, for the time of
the said Anna, of the sum of £1,422. 10^. 10^?., as
appeared by a certain petition filed in the office of the
privy seal. ^
The only public service in which it would seem that Sir
Reginald Cobham was engaged, was the taking charge
of the Duke of Orleans, afterwards Louis XII., who was
taken prisoner at Azincour, and was only released after
an imprisonment of more than twenty years, and on
payment of an enormous ransom.
The mode in which this prince should be disposed of,
was one of the numerous subjects upon which Hum-
phrey Duke of Gloucester, the Lord Protector during
Henry the Sixth's minority, disputed with his uncle,
Henry Beaufort, the Cardinal bishop of Winchester.
The Lord Protector wished to detain the duke in Eng-
OF STEBBOBOUan CASTLE. 147
land, alleging that the late king had expressed his
desire that he should never be restored to liberty. The
cardinal, however, doubtless for some good reasons of
his own, desired to release him ; and it was one of the
articles of impeachment, which Hall says were exhibited
to the king, in the 20th year of his reign, by the duke
against the cardinal, that —
** The deliverance of the said duke of Orleansce is utterly appointed by
the mediation, counsayll, and steryng of the said cardinal!, and the
archbishoppe of York, and for that purpose divers persons been come
from your adversaries into this your real me, and the said duke brought
also into this your city of London ; whereas my Lord, your father (whom
God assoile) peising so greatly the inconvenience and harme that might
fall only by his deliverance, condtided, ordained, and determined in his
last will utterly in his wisdom, his conquest in his reaulme of France."
The duke was entrusted to the care of several keepers
in succession; and eventually, in order probably to
guard against any attempts on the part of the cardinal
to get possession of him, the Lord Protector seems to
have placed him in the charge of Sir Reginald Cobham
(to whose daughter he had been married some years
previously), and on whose fidelity he might reasonably
rely.
In 1436, we find from Rymer's Pcedera, that a petition
was presented to the king and the Privy Council by
" Begmald Oohham^ Gheoalier^^ setting forth that the
^i^gj ^y his letters patent, had committed the Duke of
Orleans to the safe custody of the petitioner, as from
May 12th then last ; and that he was to be allowed for
the time that the said duke should be in his custody
the same payments daily that the Earl of SuflEblk had
been accustomed to receive on the same account, but that
up to that time he had received nothing whatever. The
petition goes on to pray the king, by the advice of his
council, to consider the great charges and expenses that
VOL. II. M
148 NOTICES OP THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
the petitioner had incurred, and to grant him letters
under the privy seal, directed to the Treasurer of
England, to pay him what was due. On this petition, an
order was made hy the council on 19th Novemher, 16th
Henry VI., that what the petitioner desired should be
done, the Duke of Gloucester, the Archhishop of York,
the Bishop of Norwich, and other lords being present ;
but not the cardinal.
It appears also, from a minute of the council, dated
24th October 1437, that it was ordered that there should
be made a letter to Beginald Cobham, to bring the
Diike of Orleans to London, " so that he might be with
the king at Shene on Monday next, to confer with him
of certain matters of the pees, that the chancellor in
France might take payment in Prance for the soulde of
certain archers and men at arms." Prom the tenor
of this minute, it would seem that at this time, the
duke was in the custody of Sir Beginald Cobham,
and as he appears to have had no other residence,
the duke was probably an inhabitant of Sterborough
Castle.
There is preserved in the British Museum, a MS.
volume of poems composed by the duke while in
captivity. It is adorned with a beautiful and curious
illumination, representing the Tower of London with
the Traitors' Gate, and Old London Bridge with its
chapel and houses in the distance. This, probably, is
the most ancient view of these buildings extant. The
diike is first seen sitting at a window, then meeting
and embracing a knight at one of the gates, and lastly
galloping away on horseback, as if rejoicing in his new-
found liberty. The illuminations throughout the volume
are adorned with the badge of the portcullis, and are
probably of Henry the Seventh's time. The poems are

chiefly love sonnets and ballads addressed to some real
or imaginary mistress ; but there are also several
passages in which the writer bitterly laments his cap-»

revisit his "Belle France." Of these, the following

In 1431, Sir Reginald Cobham, conjointly with his
second wife, founded the college of Lingfield adjoining
the church, for a provost or master, six chaplains, and
certain clerks of the Carthusian order, and the church
was thereupon constituted a collegiate church. He en-
dowed it with lands in this neighbourhood and elsewhere,
which at the Beformation were valued at £76 per
annum. Amongst these estates was included an inn,
called •'The Green Dragon," in Southwark, probably
the same as is alluded to in the will of Joan Cobham, as
her inn or hostel.
It would seem that when the college was founded,
the parish church was almost or entirely rebuilt, and
stalls were placed in the chancel for the provost and
H 2
160 NOTICES 07 THE FAMILY 07 COBHAH
chaplains. These are still remaining, and are emhel-
lished with the armorial hearings of Cohham and
Bardolf.
This Eeginald died in the year 1446, in the same
year in which, as it is helieved, his son-in-law, Humphrey
Duke of Gloucester, was murdered, at Bury St. Edmunds,
by the procurement of the queen, the Earl of Suffolk,
and Cardinal Beaufort,
By his will, dated 12th August, 1446, he directed his
body to be buried in the collegiate church of lingfield,
»
before the high altar, appointing that a tomb of ala-
baster should be placed there for his monument ; also
that £40 should be allowed for his funeral expenses,
and for his Trental and alms to poor people at those
solemnities. To Anne, his most dear wife, he thereby
disposed of all his household goods within his castle at
Sterborough at the time of his decease, appointing that
during her life she should have the use of all the
furniture of his chapel in that castle, and after her
death to remain to the master of the collegiate church
of St. Peter, at Lingfield, then newly by him founded,
and to the priests therein and their successors for ever ;
and he also gave £80 to buy books and vestments for
the college, and appointed his son, Sir Thomas Cobham,
Knight, one of his executors.
The injunctions contained in this will as to the tomb
were religiously followed by his widow and son. In the
chancel of the church may yet be seen the lofty and well-
proportioned tomb of alabaster, of which engravings
are here given, and upon it are laid fall-length effigies of
the knight and his second wife. The first wife, as
already stated, rests in a much more humble grave.
It may be noticed as another proof, how little pains
have been taken hitherto to compile our county his-

tones, that although a very slight investigation of the
subject might have satisfied the writers as to the history
of the persons here entombed, yet neither in Manning
and Bray's History of Surrey, nor in Brayley and
Britton's, is enj information given with regard to them.
All that is said amounts to this — that upon this tomb
are to be seen the whole-length figures of a knight and
his lady in white marble ; conveying to the reader just
as much information as is given in exhibition catalogues,
" Portrait of a gentleman, or of a lady, whole length."
This knight's effigy is in a perfect suit of plate
armour, except the head and face and hands, which are
left uncovered, the head being laid upon a helmet sur-
mounted by the crest, the turbaned Soldan's head.
This armour, when compared with that of his father
and grandfather, affords a good illustration of the
changes which had taken place in the course of eighty
years. It is very much more ponderous and elaborate
than theirs, although, probably, not more serviceable
than the armour of him who led the van at Cr^cy and
Poictiers. The genouilldresy or knee-plates, are massive,
with a broad flat plate, of an ivy leaf, or heart-shaped
pattern, lapping over the knee joint ; a smaller plate
of the salne pattern is also seen on the elbow joint.
The stomach is protected by five of the broad plates or
bars which were called taces, opening with hinges on
the right side, and fastening with a strap and buckle
on the left. The tuillea^ or coverings for the thighs,
are very large, nearly of a heptagon figure, about eight
inches by seven, and are fastened by straps and buckles
to the tacea. The feet are encased in sollerets, and the
gauntlets are hung at the girdle.
The shields of arms emblazoned upon his tomb are
as follows : viz. Cobham. — Bardolf^ Azure^ three cinque

plaited at the edges, and folded below the chin, and
descending to the breast, and is laid upon a pillow,
sem^e with cinque foils or, and supported by two angels
with golden wings and hair. The knight is represented
without beard or moustachios of any kind ; unlike his
grandfather, who has a small moustachio, but no
beard. He has a ring of a different pattern on each
finger, except the little finger of the left hand.
The inscription has long since been lost; but, for-
tunately, I have been able to supply it from the naanu-
script note in the Heralds' College, before alluded to.
It was as follows :

i^ortts i^tie, funt^atotum ^njva Colksii/'
His wife, who survived him, is thus*clearly designated
as one of the founders of the college, and this is con-
firmed by an entry in the Patent KoUs of 24th, 25th,
26th of Henry VI., relating to an endowment (which
must have been made immediately after her husband's
death), and from which it appears, that she, with others,
gave to the warden and chaplains of the college of St.
Peter, in lingfield, the manors of Hexted and Byly-
shersh, with other lands in lingfield.
According to Sir Wm. Segar's " MS. Baronage," it
would seem, that this knight left six children by his
first marriage ; viz. : Elizabeth, the wife of Lord Strange
of Knocking ; Margaret, the wife of Heginald Courtays ;
Reginald ; Eleanor, the wife of Humphrey Plantagenet,
Duke of Gloucester ; Ann, a nun at Barking, and Sir
Thomas Cobham, Knight. Vincent, in his "MS.
J
07 STEBBOBOUGH CASTLE. 163
Baronage," also gives the same account, except that he
makes Margaret the wife of Reginald Courtney. So far
as the daughter Margaret is concerned, however, these
accounts are incorrect ; for, as we have already seen, the
wife of Eeginald Courtays was this knight's sister, and
not his daughter.
THE SECOND SIR REGINALD COBHAM, KINIGHT,
OF STERBOROUGH.
This Reginald Oohham, the eldest son of Sir Regi-
nald, hy his marriage with Eleanor, daughter of Sir
Thomas Colepeper, died in his father's lifetime. It
appears that he was knighted in the fourth year of
Henry yi., and the occasion on which this ceremony
took place was a singular one. The Duke of Gloucester
and his uncle, the Cardinal Beaufort, had long heen
engaged in that fierce strife which, having lasted more
than twenty years, ended only with the duke's life, and
which not only wrought such vast mischief to the
realm, hut contrihuted to the downfall of the house of
Lancaster. At this time they had agreed to refer all
their disputes to arhitration, and thus a short and
insincere reconciliation was eflfected. They shook hands
in the presence of the king and of the parliament, on
Whitsunday, at Leicester, the king being then five
years of age. Upon this event great rejoicings ensued,
the king himself was knighted by the Duke of Bedford,
many promotions were made in the peerage, and
several gentlemen were knighted, and, amongst others,
this Beginald, and also Sir John Chideoke, probably
his wife's brother* According to Sir William Segar's
account, he married Thomasine, the daughter of Sir
Ralph Chideoke, Knight, and left one daughter, Mar»

garet, who married Balpli Neville, earl of Westmoreland,
and died without leaving issue, having had one cluld,
a daughter, Margaret, who died in infancy. I have
been unable to discover where this knight was buried,
or whether he left any will.
SIR THOMAS COBHAM OF STERBOROUGH, KNIGHT.
Upon the death of his father, in 1446, his second son,
Sir Thomas Cobham, succeeded to the family estates, or
at least to that portion of them which was situate in
this county. It does not appear that he took any active
part in the public affairs of his time. Prom the con-
nections and traditional politics of his family, he was
doubtless attached to the house of Lancaster, and thus
would not find much favour in Edward IV.'s reign;
while the untimely fate of his wife's first husband
would probably deter him from taking part in the plots
which were then so rife. He married Anna, the widow
of Aubrey de Vere, who, with his father John de Vere,
Earl of Oxford, was beheaded in the first year of
Edward IV., and with him was buried in the church of
the Augustine Friars, London. This lady was the
daughter of Humphry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham,
and her brother, Sir Henry Stafford, Knight, was the
second husband of Margaret, Countess of Richmond,
mother of Henry VII. In this way the Cobhams again
became connected with the house of Lancaster. Sir
Thomas Cobham died between April and July, 14i71f
leaving his wife and a daughter Anne, and also a
bastard son, Reginald Cobham (whom in his will he
describes as a nephew of Gervase Clifton), surviving
him. It appears from his own will, as well as firom
OV STEBBOEOUGH CASTLE. 156
that of his widow, that he was buried in the church of
liingfield ; but no traces either of his tomb, or of hers,
are now to be discovered.
Dame Anne Cobham, his widow, died in April, 1472,
and by her will, dated on the 12th day of that month,
desired that she should be buried in the college (col-
legiate church) of lingfield, " where the body of my
dear heart and late husband lyeth." She also mentions
her brother, John Stafford, K.G., Earl of Wiltshire,
her sisters, Katherine Stafford, wife of John Talbot,
Earl of Shrewsbury, and Joane, the wife of WiUiam
Lord Beaumont.
ANNA, WIFE OF SIR EDWARD BOROUGH, OF GAINS-
BOROUGH, LINCOLNSHIRE, AND HER DESCENDANTS.
Upon the death of Sir Thomas Cobham, the Cob-
hams of Sterborough in the male line became extinct,
having remained in the county for four generations,
comprising a period of about one hundred and fifty
eventful years. Anne Cobham, only daughter of Sir
Thomas, was betrothed, while yet a child, to the son and
heir of the Lord Mountjoy, who died before the marriage
was completed. Sir Thomas Borough, of Gainsborough,
in Lincolnshire (descended from Hubert de Burgh, earl
of Kent), obtained her wardship from Edward IV., and
thereupon married her to his eldest son, afterwards Sir
Edward Borough. Of this marriage there was issue
a son, Thomas, who was summoned to parliament
21st Henry VIIL, and by his wife (Anne, the daughter
of Sir William Tirwhit, of Kettleby, Lincolnshire), he
left issue Thomas, his son and heir, who had issue a
son, Henry. Erom him the estate seems to have
156 NOTICES OP THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
passed, in some way, to William Lord Borough, who,
ia the 15th of Queen Elizabeth, was summoned to
parliament. By Oatheriae, his wife (a daughter of
Edward, Earl of Lincoln), he had issue two sons, yiz.
Sir John Borough, Knight, who died in his father's
lifetime, and Thomas, who succeeded him in the Slst
year of Queen Elizabeth. Sir Thomas was appointed
ambassador in Scotland, with a view to counteract the
intrigues in which the Spanish government was then
engaged with King James. He was afterwards made
Governor of the Brill, one of the cautionary towns de-
livered to Queen Elizabeth by the Dutch ; and, in the
fortieth year of Queen Elizabeth, was appointed Lord
Deputy of Ireland, in which post he died soon after-
wards. He left issue a son, Robert, who died under age,
and three daughters, Prances, Ann, and Elizabeth, who
thus became his co-heiresses. Elizabeth married George,
a younger son of William Lord Oobham, and thus re-
imited the Sterborough branch to the parent stem of
Cobham and Cowling. These three ladies sold Ster-
borough Castle, and what was left in Surrey of the family
estates, to Sir Thomas Bichardson, chief justice of the
Queen's Bench, the same whom Archbishop Laud took so
severely to task before the Lords of the Council for pre-
suming to charge the grand jury against parish wakes.
Thus both the name and family of Cobham became
extinct in Surrey, and their possessions, once so extensive
in this and the adjoining county, passed into the hands
of strangers.
OP STEBBOROUGH CASTLE. 157
ELEANOR COBHAM, WIFE OP HUMPHREY
PLANTAGENET, DUKE OF GLOUCESTER.
It remains only to trace, as far as our scanty mate-
rials permit, the eventful life of this lady, the daughter
of the third Reginald, the founder of Lingfield College,
and great grand-daughter of the first lord, founder of
Sterhorough Castle.
The first occasion on which her name appears in his-
tory is on the occasion of her marriage with Humphrey,
Duke of Gloucester. The duke had heen married, in
1424, to Jaqueline of Hainault, while her hushand was
yet living. Their various adventures after this ill-fated
union constitute one of the most striking chapters in
what has heen called the romance of history, only
equalled in interest hy the strange history and tragical
fate of the second wife. The duke's first marriage was
dissolved by the p6pe's hull, and very shortly after-
wards, viz. in 1428, he married Eleanor Cobham. Hol-
linshed says, that he had tenderly loved her as his
paramour before their marriage, but no other chronicler
appears to have suggested this slander, and there seems
no reason to believe it. It is far more probable that
this statement is no more than one of the slanders
to which Cardinal Beaufort and his faction might be
expected to resort. Those who could murder the
husband, were not very likely to spare the reputation
of the wife.
The fortunes of the family might be supposed to have
now reached the zenith. One of their house had thus
become a queen in all but the name ; the wife of the most
powerful prince in England, and, indeed, in Europe, the
Lord Protector of the realm, and as he was wont to style
168 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
himself in his charters, the son, the uncle, and brother
of kings ; renowned alike for his warlike achievements
and for his great ability, and the idol of the common
people, by whom his memory was long cherished. But,
in those times, the steps of a throne were often but a
slippery resting-place, and so it chanced with Eleanor
Cobham ; for nothing could avail to save her from the
relentless hate of her husband's uncle and rival, the
Cardinal Beaufort.
Por some years, while the duke maintained his ground
at court, his wife appears to have been regarded with all
the respect due to her rank and position. The following
entries of presents of gold and jewels received from, or
given to her, are preserved in the minutes of the pro-
ceedings of the Privy Council for the year 1437 : —
" Item, delivered to send that same day to my lady of
Olouc. a nouche, made in the manner of a man, garnized
with a fayre gret balass, v gret perles, j gret diamand,
pointed with thre hangers, garnized with rubies and
pearl, bought of Remonde, goldesmyth, for the sum of
xl li.^* On the same day there was delivered by the king's
commandment to send to Queue Joane, for her yeres gift,
** a tabulett of gold, garnized with iv balasses, viii perles,
and in the middes a gret saphire entaille weying vi unc.
j. q*Tt^ n. dt the which tabulett sometime was geve
the kynge by my lady of Gloucestere." It also appears
from the same record, that she was summoned with
other peeresses and peers to attend the funeral of Joan,
the widow of Henry IV., which took place this year at
Canterbury.
But these happy days, if happy days they were, were
not destined to be of long duration. During the whole
of the young king's minority the Lord Protector had been
engaged in an incessant strife with his uncle, the Cardinal
OP STERBOaOUGH CASTLE. 159
Beaufort. These disputes and divisions which not only
prepared the way for the overthrow of the house of
Lancaster, and contributed to the loss of those pro-
vinces of France which had been won at such cost
by Edward III. and Henry IV. and V., eventually
involved Eleanor Cobham in ruin. While the king
was yet young, the Duke of Gloucester, supported as
he was by the common people by whom he was much
beloved, seems to have held his own against the car-
dinal. But, as time wore on, the young king seems to
have fallen more and more under the influence of his
father's uncle, who knew but too well how to avail
himself of his weakness and superstition.
In the nineteenth year of Henry VI. (1441), about
thirteen years after her marriage, it appears that
Eleanor Cobham was accused and convicted of certain
crimes and misdemeanours. Hall's account of this
extraordinary transaction is as follows : —
" For first this yere, Dame Elyanour Cobham, wife of the said duke,
was accused of treason, for that she, by sorcery and enchantment
entended to destroy the kyng, to thentent to aduance and to promote
her husbande to the crowne : npon thys she was examined in St.
Stephen's Chappel before the Bisshop of Canterbury ; and there by
examinacion convict and judged to do jopen penance, in iij open places,
within the city of London, and after that adjudged to perpetuall prisone
in the Isle of Man, under the kepyng of Sir Jhon Stanley, Knyght.
At the same season wer arrested, as ayders and counsailers to the sayde
duchesse, Thomas South wel, preiste and chanon of St. Stephen's, in
Westmynster, Jhon Hum, preist, Roger Bolyngbroke, a conyng nycro-
mander, and Margerie Jourdayne, sumamed the witche of Eye, to whose
charge it was laied y^ thei, at the request of the duchesse, had devised an
image of waxe, representing the kyng, which by their sorcery, a litle
and litle consumed, entendyng therby in conclusion to waist, and destroy
the kynges person, and so to bryng hym to death ; for the which treison
they wer adjudged to dye, and so Margery Jordayne was brent in
Smithfelde, and Boger Bolyngbroke was drawn and quartered at
Tiborne, takyng upon his death, that there was neuer no such thing by
160 NOTICES OP THE FAMILY OP COBHAM
theim ymagined ; Jhon Hum had bU pardon, and Soathwel died in the
toure before execution."
Hollinshed's account is somewhat different. He
says :—
"This woman, in the 19th year of the said Henry VI., upon the
taking of Henry Bollingbrook for practising necromancies, thereby to
consume the king, fled in the night to Westminster for sanotuarie, which
caused her to be suspected of treason. Whereupon BuUingbrook con-
fessing that he wrought the same at the procurement of the said Ellinor,
desirous to know to what estate she would come unto, the same Ellinor
did often times for the same appear before the bishop, and in the end
was couTicted. After which, in the 20th of Henry YL, she did grevoua
penance therefore, and so escaped with her life."
Thus far the chroniclers, who, however, can only be
regarded as embodying the popular belief of the time so
far as relates to the nature of the offence with which
the duchess was charged. I hare searched Archbishop
Chicheley's register, and the entries in the books of the
corporation of London preserved at the Guildhall, and
the parliament rolls of the time, as well as the minutes
of the Privy Council, and can find no record of the
process instituted against the duchess, nor any allusion
to it ; possibly, those who were actors in it were not
anxious that any such memorial should remain. The
only authentic document that I have been able to dis-
cover at all relating to this trial is preserved in Rymer's
Poedera. This is a writ of safe-conduct, or rather of in-
demnity, granted by the king to the archbishop. It is
dated 9th August, 1441, and sets forth, that the arch-
bishop had proceeded to institute an inquiry in the
college of St. Stephen's Chapel, Westminster, on the
26th day of July then last, concerning certain crimes,
defaults, and causes {crimimbus^ defeotibv^s^ et causis),
wherein Alianor, Duchess of Gloucester, stood detected,
and that he had ordained that she, together with
OP STBEBOBOUaH CASTLE. 161
certain persons, in due form of law sworn to keep her
in custody^ should remain in the castle of Ledes. The
writ proceeds to enjoin that no one should interfere
with the jurisdiction of the archbishop, nor molest the
said Alianor during the said proceeding, nor arrest nor
attach her goods, but that she and the persons aforesaid
along with her should be removed to Ledes Castle, and
remain there until October 21st then next, when she
was to be brought again before the Archbishop at St.
Stephen's, without any let or hindrance in going, staying,
or returning.
The document next in order appears to throw more
light upon the matter, or at least upon the motives and
conduct of some of those who were engaged in it. On
the last day of October, in the same year, a warrant was
issued to the treasurer and chamberlains of the Exchequer
for the payment of various debts due by the king ; and
amongst other payments, they were directed to distri-
bute the sum of £20 amongst the doctors, notaries, and
clerks who had been lately engaged about the super-
stitious sect of necromancers, enchanters, and witches
{nigromcmticoruniy incantantvumi et sortilegorum) for the
purpose of putting an end to the said arts.
Owing doubtless to the pious zeal of these doctors,
notaries, and clerks, ample evidence was produced to
convict the poor witch Margery. Stow's account of
her is as follows : —
" There was taken also Margery Gurdemayne, a witch of Eye, beside
Westminster, whose sorceries and witchcraft the said Eleanor had long
time used, and by her medicines and drinks enforced the duke of
Gloucester to love her, and afterward to wed her ; wherefore, and for
cause of relapse,, the same witch was brent in Smithfield on the 27th
day of October."
To have put the Duchess of Gloucester (then the lady
162 NOTICES OP THE PAMILY OF COBHAM.
of highest rank in the kingdom, and wife of the heir
apparent to the throne) to death on such a wretched
pretence as this, would have been too strong a measure
even for the malignity of the cardinal. Indeed, we
have no reason to believe that the archbishop, and the
bishops to whom the trial or examination of the
duchess and her confederates (if she had any) was
entrusted, were disposed, even if they had the power,
to inflict any very severe punishment. All that they
seem to have done in the matter was, to enjoin her to
the performance of certain acts of penance, which, if
imposed upon any one of a lower station, would not
perhaps have been looked upon as very degrading.
Shakespeare, indeed, when with his iron grasp he seized
upon this strange story, and made it the ground-work
of one of his plays, has, with the licence assumed by
poets, not only introduced the queen (Margaret of
Anjou) upon the scene, although she did not arrive in
England until three years later, but, in order to
heighten the effect of the picture, he has exaggerated
the disgrace inflicted upon the duchess, by representing
her as walking through the streets barefoot, with papers
pinned upon her back, and clothed in a white sheet.
The indignity, great as it was, was probably not quite
so great as this. In Stow*s account of the transaction,
no mention is made of the white sheet, of the bare feet,
or the papers.
After giving an account of the apparatus with which
Bullingbrook wrought his incantations, and the masses
which the canon of St. Stephen's celebrated in order to
forward the impious work, and which he says were
performed in the lodge of " Hamesey Parke '* (probably
Hornsey), near London, he adds : —
" Shortly after, a commission was directed to the earls of Huntingdon,
OF STERBOROUGn CASTLE. 163
Suflfolk, Stafford, and Northumberland, the treasurer, Sir Ealph Cromwell,
Sir John Cornwall, Lord Fauhope, Sir Walter Hungerforde, and to
certain Judges of both benches, to enquire of all manner of treasons,
sorceries, and other things that might be hurtful to the King's person.
Before whom the said Roger and Thomas Southwell, as principals, and
Dame Elianor, as accessary, were indicted of treason at the Guildhall of
London,*'
The result of this indictment is not stated, and it
therefore seems reasonable to conclude that the accused
were acquitted of treason.
The chronicler proceeds : —
"The 21st October, in the chapel aforesaid, before the Bishop of London,
Robert Gliberte of Lincolne, William Alnewicke of Norwich, and
Thomas Brown, the said Alianor appeared ; and Adam Molins, clerk of
the King^s counselle, read certain articles objected against her of sorcery
and negromancy, whereof some she denyed, and some she granted. The
three-and-twentieth day of October Dame AJianor appeared again, and
witnesses were brought forward and examined, and she was convicted of
the said articles ; then was it asked if she would say anything against
the witnesses, and she answered, *Nay,' but submitted herself. The
27th day of October she abjured the articles, and was adjourned to
appear again on the 9th of November. The 9th of November Dame
Alianor appeared again before the archbyshopp and others in the said
chapel, and received her penance, which she performed. On Monday,
13th November, she came from Westminster by water, and landed
at the Temple Bridge, from whence, with a taper of wax, of two
pound, in her hand, she went through Fleet Street, hoodless, save a
kerchefe, to Paul's, where she offered her taper at the high altar. On
tlie Wednesday next, she landed at the Swan in Thames Street, and
went through Bridge Street, Gracechurch Street, strait to Leadenhall,
and so to Christ Church, by Aldgate. On the Friday she landed at
Queen Hive, and so went through Cheap to St. Michael's, Cornhill, at
which time the Maior, Sheriff, and Crafts of London received her and
accompanied her."
It does not appear that the duke made any great
effort, either to avert or to resent this outrage. Time
was, when he would have involved two powerful nations
in war, that so he might retain another man's wife ; hut
now he seems to have been so far changed, that he could
VOL. II. N
164 NOTICES OF THE FAMILT OF COBHAM
not strike a blow to save his own. Hall says : " The
Duke of Gloucester toke all these things patiently, and
saied little :" and Shakespeare, who followed closely upon
the popular belief, represents the duchess as entreating
her husband to rescue her from this outrage, and warn-
ing him, that if he submitted to it, his own turn would
soon follow.
" And York, and impious Beaufort, that false priest,
Have all limed bushes to betray thy wings ;
And fly thou how thou canst, they'll tangle thee."
To this passionate entreaty, the duke is made meekly
to reply :
" Wouldst have me rescue thee from this reproach 1
Why, yet thy scandal were not wiped away,
But I in danger for the breach of law.
Thy greatest help is quiet, gentle Nell :
I pray thee sort thy art to patience ;
These ten days' wonder will be quickly worn." *
It is commonly supposed that the duchess, imme-
diately after her penance, was consigned to perpetual
imprisonment in the Isle of Man, an opinion probably
derived from Shakespeare's play. The events of real
life do not, however, follow upon each other with that
startling rapidity which it suits the purpose of poets and
romancers to attribute to them. It is certain that she
was not sent to the Isle of Man until a considerable
time after her penance, and very probably not till after
her husband's death. This is evident from Letters
Patent, dated October 26th, 1443 (being nearly a year
and a half from the date of the duchess's first imprison-
ment), by which the constable of the castle of Chester
is commanded to bring the duchess, who was then
detained in his custody, to the castle of Kenilworth, and
* Shakespeare, 2nd Part King Henry VI. act ii. scene iv.
OF STERBOROTJGH CASTLE. 165
to deliver her into the custody of the keeper of that
castle or his deputy, and for that purpose, he is to furnish
himself both with men and horses, and carriages, and
with provisions ; and that he might be able more safely
and securely to conduct the said EUinor to the said
castle, the king took the said Ellinor and also the
constable, and all his goods, into his special care and
protection. Eventually, the duchess was certainly
removed to the Isle of Man, where she remained, as
Hall says, under the care of Sir John Stanley.
Shakespeare says, under that of Sir Thomas, but he
had died in 1432.
Her husband died so suddenly, that he had no time
to "choose executors, and talk of wUls," and ac-
cordingly we find, from a document printed in the
" Poedera,*' that upon his death, the king procured from
the archbishop the administration of his estate, alleging
that he had died intestate. As neither he, nor the duchess
had been convicted of treason, or any other crime amount-
ing to felony, she would be entitled to a large share of his
fortune ; nevertheless it seems that it was all confiscated,
and that she had during her imprisonment but 100
marks yearly allowed for her maintenance, although
some other payments are recorded as having been made
for her use. The islanders have a tradition that she
was very restless, and impatient of her captivity, and
made many fruitless efforts to escape. The place of her
imprisonment is still pointed out in a crypt under the
chancel of the cathedral of St. Germanus in Peel Castle,
which was long afterwards used as a place of confine-
ment for excommunicate persons, although the duchess,
having duly performed her penance, could scarcely be
considered as excommunicate. Here she remained until
death released her in the year 1454.
N 2
166 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
She was buried in the dungeon in which she had lived;
but no sumptuous tomb or sculptured brass marks the
last resting-place of one so nobly descended and allied.
It was long, and perhaps still is believed, that her
ghost was accustomed to ascend the stone staircase
leading to the walls, and to descend when the cathedral
clock was striking midnight.
In the entire absence of all authentic records of this
memorable process, and amidst the conflicting accounts
given by the old chroniclers, it is difficult to say how far,
if at all, the duchess may have merited the censures of
the Church; but it seems certain that the offence of
which she was accused could not have merited the cruel
punishment inflicted. Rapin (without quoting any
authority) says that she confessed that she had applied
to a'mtch for a philtre, to. fix the love of her huSband ;
and Stow says that the witch had furnished her with
drinks and medicines, and thus she had enforced the
duke to love her, and afterwards to wed her. Con-
sidering that this amounted neither to treason, nor to
witchcraft, and that the wedding in question had taken
place thirteen years previously, and that the duke (the
only person aggrieved) did not complain, the offence
could hardly justify the punishment. HoUinshed's
statement, that Bolingbrook confessed that he wrought
his necromancies by the duchess's desire, desiring to
know to what estate she would come, is inconsistent,
since it clearly was not necessary, by the laws of
witchcraft, to consume the king in order to tell the
duchess's fortune. It is also at variance with Hall's
statement, that he denied, even when at the scaffold,
that he had any such design. It is difficult to believe
that a lady of the rank and position of the duchess
should have had any faith in the vulgar superstition of
OF STERBOEOUGH CASTLE. 167
the little waxen image; although, like many other
ladies in a much later and more civilized period, she
may have, perhaps, consulted a cunning man in order
to know " to what estate she should come.'*
It appears by a comparison of dates that this accusa-
tion was made against the duchess almost immediately
after the duke had exhibited his impeachment against
the cardinal, in which he laid to his charge many treasons
and misdemeanors. It seems, therefore, most probable
that the cardinal and the duke's other enemies, either
finding that his wife was in their way, or determined by
her means to humble and degrade him in revenge for
the impeachment, hit upon this expedient, which, from
the well-known weakness and superstition of the king,
was not very difl3.cult of execution ; and that thus the
ruin of the wife, as well as the murder of the husband,
may justly be attributed to "Beaufort, that false
priest." Such at least was the belief of the time, and
in proportion to the love and admiration which the
common people felt for the " good Duke Humphrey "
was the hatred and execration which they lavished upon
the cardinal, whom they believed to be his murderer.
This opinion easily led to a belief (which certainly the
chroniclers of the time have favoured) that the cardinal
on his death-bed was filled with horror and remorse at
the remembrance of the long catalogue of crimes of
which he had been guilty ; and thus it has happened,
that when a novelist or poet would describe, or a painter
represent, the death-bed of a hopeless and impenitent
man, they have often introduced that of Henry Beau-
fort. Shakespeare avails himself of this tradition, when
he makes the king say to the dying cardinal : —
" Lord Cardinal, if thou think'sfc on heaven's bliss,
Hold up thy hand, make signal of thy hope. —
He dies, and makes no sign. O God, forgive him !
168 NOTICES OP THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
It is not likely that these mysteries will ever be
cleared up ; and we may therefore be content to follow
the king's injunction to the Earl of Warwick, as they
left the cardinal's bedside : —
" Forbear to judge, for we are flinners all, —
Cloae np his ejea, and draw tbe curtain close,
And let UB all to meditation." ^

TRANSLATION.
In the name ot the Lord Amen. On the 13th day of the month of
August in the year of our Lord 1369, and in the 43rd year of King
Edward the Third, I Joan de Cobham and de Stereburgh, being of good
OP STEEBOEOUGH CASTLE, 177
health, sound mind, and of good memory, make and ordain my testament
as follows : —
In the first place I commend my soul to God, and to the blessed
Mary, and to all Saints, and my body to be buried in the churchyard of St.
Mary Overthere in Southwark, (to wit) before the door of the Conventual
Church where the image of the Blessed Virgin sitteth on high over the
said door. And I will and direct that a plain marble stone shall be
placed over my body, and that a metal cross shall be sculptured
upon the middle of the said stone, and round about it these words in
French : —
''Yous qui par ici passietz,
Fur r alme Johane de Gobham prietz."
This is my last will if I shall happen to die in Southwark. Also I will
and direct that before everything else, immediately after my decease, there
shall be celebrated seven thousand masses for my soul, and that these
be on no account delayed or deferred, and I desire that the said
masses shall be celebrated by the Canons of Tunbridge and Tandridge,
and the four religious orders in London, viz. the Preachers, the Minors,
the Augustines, and the Carmelites, and that they shall have for their
pains £29. 3^. Ad.
Also I bequeath ten marks to be distributed to the poor on the day
of my burial. Also I bequeath forty marks for the various expenses of
my sepulture, and for black cloth for the livery of the attendants and of
twelve poor men carrying twelve wax torches and for other expenses and
for the octave. Also I bequeath £20 sterling to the fabric of the Conven-
tual Church of St. Mary of Southwark. Also I bequeath iOs. to the Prior
for the time being. Also I give to each Canon in priest's orders 20«. and
to each Canon not in priest's orders 10^. Also I bequeath to the chapter
clerk of the same house 6^. Sd. Also I bequeath Ss. 4td. to the bellringers
in the belfry of the same church. Also I bequeath to the high altar of
the same church two of my best silver basins with my lord's arms in the
centre. Also I bequeath 100^. to the fabric of the parish Church of St.
Mary Magdelene near the said Conventual Church. Also I bequeath 20^.
to the Chaplain for the time being of the parish. Also to each Chaplain
officiating in the church at that time Qs, Sd. and to the principal
clerk of the same church 6^. 8d. Also to the sub-clerk 3^. 4:d. Also
I direct that twelve poor men carrying twelve torches on the day
of my burial shall be clothed in cloaks and hoods of black cloth, and
immediately after the celebration of the mass six of the torches shall be
offered at the high altar in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin, and I direct
that the other six shall be offered at the altar of Mary Magdalene
for the elevation of the host. Also I will and strictly direct that all
these things being performed the debts of my honoured lord be paid
178 NOTICES OF THE FAMILY OF COBHAM
to all those persons who can well and rightfully prove them either by
bonds or other writing or true documents, and likewise my own debts
if there should be any (which God forbid) and in like manner that full
satisfaction be made for all trespasses of my said lord with the utmost
quickness and diligence. Also I bequeath to the Church of Lingfield
one frontour with the arms of Cobham and Berkley embroidered in white
and purple, and also one chasuble, one alb of velvet with the arms
of Berkeley and Cobham. Also one dalmatic and one green tunicle of
the same set as the chasuble, worked with gold thread. Also one green
cope for the master of the choir. Also to the same person a corporal
embroidered on one side with the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, and on the other with the Nativity of Christ with the image of
the Blessed Virgin Mary lying in child-bed. Also I bequeath to Regi-
nald my son a ring with one diamond and one buckle of gold with one
ruby. Also one pair of beads of gold (to wit) sixty beads. Also I desire
that all the vestments and the books and the two cups and all otber
things now in my keeping which my lord gave to me for the term
of my life, and after my death to the said Reginald my son shall be
delivered to him, except my vestments before given to the parish
church of Lingfield. Also I desire that there shall be delivered
to the said Eeginald after my death all those things after mentioned
which were given and bequeathed to him by my lord in his will, that
is to say ; One green bed embroidered with a Soldan,* with the
arms of my lord, with one quilt and one entire seeler, and three curtains
and four carpets of the same silk, and one coverlid for the same bed of
badger B fur. Also two red serges with three red curtains embroidered
with the helmet and crest of my lord. Also I have already given
to the said Reginald, of my own good will, one great dorsor with the
nine kings standing therein for the hall at Stereburgh.
Also I have given up to the said Reginald all the arms and equip-
ments in my lord's wardrobe at Stereburgh which the said Reginald
accepted from me, and he delivered all the said arms with the great dorsor
before mentioned to Lokward to take care of, and from that time to the
present the said Lokward has had the custody thereof, and the key of the
said wardrobe. Also I have delivered to the said Reginald one silver cup
which my lord bequeathed to him. Also I desire that my executors
should deliver to the said Reginald one other silver cup with a cover,
also twelve silver dishes and twelve silver salt-cellars which my lord
bequeathed to him, and of which the said Reginald received from me
six dishes and four salt-cellars when he went into Gascony. Also I desire
that the said Reginald should have three of the best silver dishes of
* The Cobham crest.
OP STERBOBOTJGH CASTLE. 179
my own, in recompense for the two chargers bequeathed to him by my
lord. Also I desire that there should be delivered to the said Reginald
by my executors two silver basins with the arms of my lord, and two of
my best silver washing-basins. Also I bequeath to the said Reginald all
my brass vessels for the kitchen and bakery with all their appurtenances
and I also bequeath to the same all my wooden vessels belonging to either
of those offices. Also I bequeath to the said Reginald one hundred pounds'
worth in chattels, and in stock of beasts, and in corn j and if it should chance,
which God forbid, that the said Reginald should die before me, and I
should be the survivor, then I direct that all my goods and chattels above
bequeathed to him as aforesaid shall revert to and remain with me and
my executors without any dispute, and in that case I will and grant that
I and my executors may freely dispose of the goods so by me bequeathed,
and likewise of all other goods by my lord bequeathed to him, as to me
and my executors shall seem best for the health of our souls.
Also I bequeath to Sir Henry de Grey one silver cup with a cover with
the arms of Berkeley and Oobham in the centre. Also I bequeath to the
Lady Joan de Grey his wife one large book curiously illuminated and
wrought with mortumdlo (?) and gevenylea (1) in the beginning of the said
book, and the Salutation of the Blessed Virgin. Also to the same, a book
called " Mmiuel Pecker Also to the same two sheets of cloth of Rennes
of ten breadths. Also to the same, my best coffer which Laurence de

same one little shrine of pure gold with the image of the Blessed Virgin
Mary inside and two little angels on her right and on her left. Also
to the same one plain buckle of gold with one pair of beads, viz. fifty
beads of gold, and fifty of jet. Also I bequeath to Joan daughter of
Sir Henry de Grey one plain silver cup made after the fashion of a
chalice with a cover, and if the said Joan shall die before her mother
then I wish it should be given to the Lady Joan de Grey her mother.

Agrms Dei with an enamelled crucifix with St. Mary and St. John
standing on one side, and on the other a little Agnus Dei standing in
a circle and with a silver chain. Also I will and direct, in case my goods
at the time of my decease shall not suffice for the payment of the debts
of my honoured lord, or of my own debts, then that my executors, by
their common -consent, shall sell my water-mill in Edenbridge, which
I purchased of the heirs of one Shardenne, as more fully appears from
their charters ; also in like manner I direct, that my inn in Southwark
near London be sold, and from the money received for the same pay-
ment be made of the debts of my lord, and of my own debts as before

have deserved at the discretion of my executors. Also I desire that if
necessary for the purposes of my will my executors should sell my
attire my pearls with roses (1) and .stars, my fillet (seed 9) pearls and
diamonds. Also I desire that all my vestments should be employed
where most need shall be in prayers for my soul at the discretion of my
executors. And I desire that the residue of my goods not bequeathed
should be given and bestowed as they think proper, and best to be dona
Also I pray my executors that all my servants shall be maintained by
them in the place where I may die, until the day of the month (after my
decease 9) and in case my executors shall be able to recover the goods
which I ought to have of right from my two lords (whom may God
assoile) one half should be given to my son Bichard to pay part of ius
debts, and the other part should be divided by my executors between
my servants at the discretion of my executors. Also I wish that my
burial should be celebrated according to the discretion of my executors,
and not at great cost save as to the poor (9). Also I appoint Sir William
Dorvaunt Vicar of Spertisbury, and John Quynton, my executors to
perform my will. Also I nominate and entreat my entire son Bichard
Arondell and Master John Tytyllyng, to be overseers and aiders, that
my will should be fully performed.

NOTES TO THE PEDIGREE OF COBHAM OF STERBOROUGH.
(The following notes have been kindly furnished to me by Charles
Spencer Perceval, Esq., LL.D., E.S.A,, to whom I am also indebted for
much other valuable assistance.)
The following, among other authorities, have been used in the com-
pilation of this Pedigree, and are thus cited : —
Glover, — ^A collection of extracts, <fec., from Charters at Cobham, made
by Kobert Glover, Somerset, in 1574, and printed from the original MS.
in the Library of the College of Arms, in vol. vii. Collectanea Topog.
et Crenealog., pp. 320 — 354. The numerals indicate the page re-
ferred to.
Thynne, — An account of the Cobhams, by Francis Botevile, aliaa
Thynne, Lancaster Herald, made in 1586, which will be found printed
in Tol. iv. of Holinshed's Chronicles, p. 777, Ist ed. He seems (inde-
pendently or not) to have drawn from the same sources as Glover.
Segar, — Pedigree by Sir William Segar, in a MS. Baronage compiled
by him, and preserved in the Library of the College of Arm&
DugdaU, — The Baronage.
The names and statements in the Pedigree, which are included in
brackets, are to be taken as supported at present by no better evidence
than the bare assertion of one or more of the above authorities.
(1.) Henry, son of Serlo. See grant (circa 1200 — 1220) to him, printed
2 Archseologia Cantiana, 226. — ^^ Terra qu» fuit Serlonis de Cobbeham^

For charter of confirmation, see Rott. Chart, p. 178 b.
(2.) By a charter sons date {Ghv€r,J^20), John, William, and Eeginald,
sons of Henry de Cobeham, partition his lands. John takes (inter alia)
the capital messuage of Cobham and all Serlo de Cobham's land there ;
land and marshes called Eundale in Shorn; and lands and rents in
Burdefeld. William is named next ; therefore probably the second son
(Dugdale makes him the third). He and Eeginald take the residue of
the lands (at Hoo, Grean, Clyve, Shorn, Strood, Biochester, and else-
where in Kent).

&c., descended to her on the d^ath of her uncle Beginald, and Mary his
wife, gives us the fact of this William de Oobham's marriage {Glover,
336). Another entry (p. 337) makes it probable that his wife was
named Hawesia. — See also Mus. BrU. Add. MSS, 14,311, p. 24.

on the death of his brother Reginald, or of Maria, formerly wife d
Reginald {Glover, 343). Segar calls her Maria de Yalognes. See
also (9).
(13.) This Sir Reginald is confounded by Dugdale, first with Roger
de Cobbeham (of the Kentish branch), to whom, and not to Reginald,
Edward I. (anno 32) granted freewarren in Pipardsclive, co. Wilts ; and,
OF STEEBOROUGH CASTLE. 193
secondly, with his own son, Sir Reginald, K.G., whose exploits Dugdale
recounts as those of Reginj^Id, son of John, and of his wife Joan, daughter
of Hugh de Kevill. !Pat John de Cobham died in 1251 or 1252, as
shown above, and Reginald, K.G., in 1361 ; therefore, another genera-
tion is clearly wanted. And see post (15),
(14.) Thym^ gives James, William, and another Reginald, as brothers
of Sir Reginald of Qrkesden, and half-brothers of John of Cowling,
As to the other Reginald, quoere ; but Thynne, in other respects, is
bcMme out by Glover, 321, who notes a fine levied 54 Hen. III., where
rents in Burdefeld and Shelve, pasture in Halesgroeste, in the hundred of
Hob, were settled by a John de Cobham to James de Cobham and his
brother William, successively in tail ; remainder to their brother Regi-
nald. James and William £^ppear to have died without issue, and the
remainders to have successively taken efiect ; for in 14 Edw. II. a Wil-
liam de Cobham (^sch,, ej. an., n. 17) dies seised of manors of Shelve,
Orkesdene, and Mondefeld {qucere Burdefeld), which he held of Henry
de Cobham, Knt. (that is, as I take it, of Henry of Oowlinge, son
and heir of John), and leaving Reginald de Cobham his heir then
25 years old apd upwards, Their relationship is not stated ; but the
dates well support the opinion that this was his nephew Sir Reginald,
KG., whom we find afterwards seised, inter alio,, of Shelve and Border
field, and also of Chidingstone, Ojf which this Willian^ as aboye died
seised.
(15.) Rot. Fin., 13 Edw. I., m. 6, " Et de gratii su4 special! concessit
(Rex) Reginaldo filio Johannis de Cobhan^, qui Johannam filiam et
heredem Willelmi de Evere defunpti duxit in uxorem, quod," (fee. (license
to pay a debt of .£50 due from W. de Evere by annual instalments of
ten marks). This William is probably identical with William de Heure,
who, 9 Edw. I. (Rott. Cart., ej, cm.y had a grant of freewarren in Heure,
Chidingstone, and lingfield, of lands in all which places Reginald, K.G.,
was subsequently seised. Hever Castle is close to Chidingstone, and
appears to be the place described as Heure and Evere ; but if so, there
remains to be solved this problem — how this William de Evere acquired
that castle, which was built by Stephen de Pencestre (license to crenel-
late, 54 Hen. III., Gentleman's Mag., 1856, p. 209), father or grandfather
of the heiress who married Henry de Cobham, founder of the Kentish
branch of Roundal. The lands in Chidingstone cannot have been those
which, as above, William, uncle to Reginald, K.G., possessed. Note,
that there were also lands in the Roundal family (but of the old Cobham
inheritance) called Hever, in Hoo.
194j notices of the family of cobham.
(16.) As to this Sir Reginald, see Dugdale, who^ however, quoting
Glover, is mistaken in calling his wife daughter of Maurice Berkeley.
She was daughter of Thomas Lord Berkeley and sister of Maurice, as
Dugdale himself (under Berkeley) has stated.
I give no authorities in support of the rest of the Pedigree, as the
later steps are sufficiently clear. A few corrections are given in the
body of Mr. Flower's paper.
The present Table may, I think, be relied upon as far as it goes.
More th^Q one female name has still to be inserted in its proper place.

Btbe since Cranmer, in 1537, " finding," as Strype
says, ** that the spreading demeans of the Church were
in danger to be torn off by the talons of avarice and
rapine, to mortify the growing appetites of sacrilegious
cormorants,"* parted with his magnificent Kentish palaces
of Otford and Knoll, in favour of the Crown, our county
of Surrey has been almost exclusively honoured by the
residence within its limits, at Croydon and Lambeth,
and latterly at Addington, of the successive occupants
of th.e Archiepiscopal See of Canterbury. Among these
prelates no one is more deserving of remembrance by
Surrey men than the pious founder of the Hospital of
the jBEoly Trinity, at Croydon, the muniment-room of
whicli institution possesses the interesting deed which
forms the subject of Mr. Plower's paper at page 99 of
this volume; and no apology can be needed for the
introduction into our collections of the engravings
which the present remarks accompany.
The upper figure, in the large plate (for which the
Society is indebted to the liberality of the Eev. George
H. Dashwood), gives an accurate representation of the
Seal of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, of the
time of Archbishop WJiitgift. The counter-seal is
represented in the lower figure of the same plate.

196 WHITGIFT GATHERINGS.
The example from which our engraving is taken, is
from an exemplification of administration out of the Pre-
rogative Court, dated December 31, 1690, and certifying
that on Oct. 19, 1675, the administration of the goods
of Rowland Hare, late of Stork, in the county of Essex,
gent., deceased, was committed by the Dean and Chapter
of Canterbury, guardians of the spiritualties of the
Province ' (sede vacante), to Nicholas Hare, of the Inner
Temple, London. Rowland and Nicholas were sons of
John Hare, of Stow Bardolph, Esq. Nicholas, the elder
son, in 1689, according to Burke (Extinct Baronetage,
sub nom.)f rebuilt the mansion at Stow Bardolph, from
the muniment-room at which place the instrument in
question has, through the great kindness of Mr. Dash-
wood, been placed at the disposal of our Society for the
purpose of engraving the seal.
The upper compartment of the seal appears to repre-
sent the Disputation in the Temple, while an escutcheon
at the base bears the arms of the See of Canterbury,
impaling — , on a- cross humett6 flory — , four roundlets,
for Whitgift. The legend is [Sigillum] CuBiiE Pee-
BOGATIV^ JOHANNIS WhITEGIFTE, DeI GbATIA CaNT
[uARiENsis Archiepiscopi]. The words in brackets
are broken off with the top of the seal, but are easily
restored as above.
This seal is, with the exception, of course, of the im-
paled coat, and of the legend, an exact repetition of the
Prerogative Seal of Whitgift's predecessor, Matthew
Parker,^ who first introduced this type, which has con-
tinued to our own day, with the sole difference that the
seal of the late Prerogative Court, tempore Sumner, was
round, and not oval. Even such details as the two small
^ Figured in Gorham's Eeformation Gleanings.
WHITGIPT GATHERINGS. 197
columns on either side of the shield were closely followed
in the last seal of the lately abolished Court.
The counter-seal appears to represent a mark or
personal device of a tree eradicated. I have not been
able to learn whether the practice of counter-sealing
was usual in the case of Prerogative Seals, or, if so,
whose seal was employed for the purpose ; and can give
no satisfactory explanation of the device.
It is to the ready courtesy of our Vice-President,
James More Molyneux, Esq., whose hospitable reception
of the members of the Surrey Archaeological Society, in
the summer of 1861, will long be remembered, that we
owe the annexed woodcut of the arch-
bishop's signet, and the facsimile of his
signature, placed as a tail-piece to this
paper. Both are from a letter of this
prelate, dated from Croydon, October 2,
1693, and addressed thus, ** To my verie
loving frend Sir Willm. More, knight,
give these.*' The letter, which is preserved among the
Liosely MSS., is, with the exception of the signature, in
the hand of a secretary, and in itself is of no peculiar
interest, relating merely to some preliminary proceed-
ings of a commission then lately issued for the visitation
of colleges, hospitals, &c., of which commission the
Archbishop and Sir William were members.
The personal arms of the Archbishop appear the same
on both seals : the cross being charged, in each instance,
with four roundlets (bezants) ; while on his tomb at
Croydon, on the frontispiece to Panic's Life of Whitgift,
and elsewhere, the cross is charged y^iWx five bezants.
The fact is, that the Archbishop had more than one grant
of arms, the bearings differing slightly in each grant.
The following notes on this subject, for the substance of
198 ' WHITGIFT GATfiiSHiNGS.
which i hare to express my thanks to Thomas W* King,
Esq., York Herald, may he found interesting.
On the 2nd May, 1677, 19^ Eliz. Sir Gilbert Dethick,
Garter, granted to John Whitgift, D.D., Bishop of
Worcester, this coat ; Or^ on a cross fleurettd azwe^
four bezants.
In June, 1588, 80** Eliz. it appears, but from a draft
only, that Robert Cooke, Clareiicieux, granted to John
Whitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury, a crest ** out of a
crown of goldy a Lyon^s paw^ silver^ holding a laurel gar-
land vert.^^ In this grant of a crest the prelate's arms are
thus described : " Quarterly silver and gold, m the firsts
on a cross flory, sable, four bezants; and i/n the second,
on a cross flory, azure, four bezants, and so quarterly ; "
and are recognized in a docquet-book in Cooke's haad-
writing.
A second draft exists, whereby, in July, 1588, 30
Eliz., Sir William Dethick, Garter, granted to the Arch-
bishop, ** Argent, a cross humette, flory de liz, sable,
with four bezants; " and for crest, " the leg or patio of a
Lyon, gules, set in a crown, gold, holding a garland or
chaplet of laurel or bays, proper. ^^ The cteSt, however,
appears limited to the Archbishop's brothers.
Now, although this instrument is a mere draft, and
there is no primary evidence to prove that a grant in
fact issued in conformity with it, yet in the Visitation
of Essex, in 1634, the pedigree of the Archbishop is
entered with the plain coat, ** Argent, on a cross fleu-
rettS, sable, four bezants ; " and the crest, ** out of a
ducal coronet, a lion^s paw erect, argent, holding a
wreath of laurel, vert,** the coat being the first and
fourth quarter of the grant by Cooke in June, 1688.
The whole appears to agree with Dethick's draft of
July, 1588, excepting that there the lion's paw is gules,
WRVraiBT! OATHBEIKaS. 199
and not argent, as is the case in the Visitation, and
also in Cooke's grant of June, 1688. In a note to this
pedigree of 1634, it ifl stated that the arms were
" exemplified by Lres, Pattents to John Whitgift, the
Aifchbishop, Williami George, and Bichard, his bro-
thers, and to theur descendants for ever, by Sir Wm.
Dethick, als. Garter, Principall King of Arms, dated
the 4th July, 1588."
Upon this evidence, Mr. King, on the whole, con-
cludes that the Arms of the Archbishop were really
those as entered in the Visitation of Essex, in 1634
with the crest as appertaining to his brothers. This
view is corroborated by the evidence of our two seals.
Another draft grant remains in the College of Arms.
This is in Latin, dated 22nd January, 1598, 40 Eliz.,
and by it Sir William Dethick, Garter, and William
Camden, Clarencieux, grant to the Archbishop, Argent,
five befsanta on a cross formSe flory, sable, and the crest
a lion* s foot or, eraced sanguine, armed gules.
It seems singular that so soon after Cooke's grant, in
June, 1688, another should occur by Sir W. Dethick in
July of the same year. To explain this, Mr. King men-
tions that about this time there were great dissensions
between the King of Arms as to their several powers
and jurisdictions, which may account for the two
grants — one within, or nearly within, a month of the
other. In illustration of this remark, I may notice,
on the authority of the AthensB Cantabrigienses, that
Matthew Hutton," Archbishop of York, on May 1, 1584,
had a grant from William Flower, Norroy, of these arms,
** Oules, on a fess between three cushions, lozenge-ways,
argent, fringed and tasseUed or, as many fleurs de liz
of the field; " with this crest, " on a cushion, placed
lozenge^ways, gules, an open book edged or, and inscribed
200 WHITOirT GATHBEINGS.
Odor Vit(B ; " and in the same year, on the 20th July,
Sir G. Dethick, Garter, granted a similar coat and crest,
except that the charge on the fess was a cross hiimett6
between two fleurs de liz»
It is not our purpose to enter into any detail of par-
ticulars of Whitgift's life. An excellent memoir of this
prelate, embodying briefly the information collected by
Strype and many others, has recently appeared in the
second volume of Messrs. Cooper's Athens© Cantabri-
gienses. The following short notes, however, showing
the various steps in the Archbishop's long and successful
career, may be useful.
He was born at Great Grimsby, in 1530 or 1533 ;
proceeded B.A. from Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, in
1553-4; PeUow of Peterhouse, 1555; M.A., 1557;
B.D., 1563, when he became Margaret Professor of
Divinity, In 1567, he was elected Master of Pembroke
Hall, and proceeded D.D. In the same year he became
Master of Trinity College, and Regius Professor of
Divinity, and in 1570, Vice Chancellor of the University.
His election to the Deanery of Lincoln followed in 1571,
and in 1577 he was consecrated Bishop of Worcester,
whereupon he resigned the Mastership of Trinity Col-
lege, which he had held for ten years. In 1583, he was
translated to the Metropolitan See of Canterbury, and
held the primacy for more than twenty years, dying at
Lambeth, Peb. 29, 1603-4, He lies buried in Croydon
Church, under a handsome monument, still existing at
the S. E. corner of St. Nicholas' chantry. This spot was
probably selected on account of its being at that time
the customary seat of the brethren of the Archbishop's
hospital during public worship. The tomb is adorned
with the armorial bearings of Peterhouse, . Pembroke
Hall, and Trinity Colleges, the Deanery of Lincoln, and

the Sees of Worcester and Canterbury, besides his own
coat, of the last grant; the cross, however, according
to Mr. Steinman*s History of Croydon, page 175, is now
coloured red instead of black.
The inscriptions on the monument are printed by Mr.
Steinman, and in Lyson's Environs of London, i. 181.
The accompanying pedigree has been compiled from
copies of the Visitations of Surrey and Essex, in the
British Museum. As an appropriate conclusion to these
notes we insert the autograph of the Archbishop.

NOTICES OF GRANTS OF AN AUGMENTA-
TION TO THE ARMS OF ARCHBISHOP
PARKER, AND OF A CREST TO HIS SON
JOHN PARKER.
Bt THOMAS WILLIAM KING, JSaq., Tobk Hbbald, F.&A.
The first of the two documents now printed is the
grant of an augmentation to the arms of Matthew
Parker, Archhishop of Oanterhury, by Sir Gilbert
Dethick, Garter, dated November 28th, 1669. The
grant is surrounded by a floriated border. In the
centre is introduced the Tudor rose surrounded by the
garter and surmounted by the imperial crown; on
either side is a fleur-de-lis or. The initial letter con-
tains the figure of Garter in his official tabard holding
a wand pointing to the shield.
The original arms of the Archbishop were gules a
chevron between three keys argent^ to which coat the
augmentation of three stars gules was by this instru-
ment assigned.
The shield is surmounted by a mitre, having upon
the fillet a portion of the Archbishop's motto,
" Mimdus transit." This is the only instance I have
seen of a motto so placed. The entire motto was this :
" Mundus transit et concupiscentia ejus." It may be
here remarked that the mitre is not encircled with the
ducal coronet which of late years has been introduced,

erroneously, in representations of the mitre of an
archbishop.
Two seals were originally appended to this document,
but one only now remains, being the official seal ; whilst
the other was, as was generally usual at the period
when grants of this nature were made, the personal
seal of the King of Arms. The arms on the seal now
extant being A cross of St. George, in the dexter
canton a dove; on a chief, between a lion of England on
the dexter and a fleur-de-lis of France on the sinister,
a crown within a garter. Legend : iji s • OFFicn '

The second document,^ being the grant of a crest to
John Parker (afterwards Sir John Parker, knight,
eldest son of the Archbishop) is also surrounded by an
ornamental border ; the Tudor rose being in the centre,
having on each side a gold fleur-de-lis. This grant was
by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux, and is dated May 28th,
1672. The initial letter contains, as in the former case,
the figure of the King of Arms.
Both seals are here preserved. The first has the
arms of the oflB.ce of Clarenceux : A cross of St. George,
in the dexter canton a fleur-de-lis, on a chief a lion
of England. On either side of the shield a cross-crosslet
fltch6, and above the shield a lion rampant. Legend :

210 THE VICAR OF GODALHIKG
XIV.
THE VICAU OP GODALMING AND HIS
PARISHIONERS IN 1640.
By J. EVANS, Esq., r.S.A
There are certain portions of English history which,
though they relate to occurrences that took place some
scores or even hundreds of years ago, can hardly be
discussed at the present time, without exciting almost
the same bitterness of party spirit as any of the passing
political events of the day. It is more especially with
regard to the times of Charles I. that this remark holds
good. There is hardly a single person who took any
active part in the concerns of the State during that
eventful period, but whose name will excite the opposite
extremes of admiration and hatred in diflPerent minds,
according to their natural bias, and habits of thought in
politics and religion.
The advice given by an old writer not to follow too
closely on the heels of current history, lest haply they
kick out your teeth, seems equally applicable to some
of the topics of the time of the Great Rebellion, as the
fires of political and ecclesiastical discord, which, after
long smouldering, then burst into flames, are never
likely to be entirely quenched. There are as ardent
admirers of Laud and Strafford, of Hampden and Pym,
at the present day as there were 200 years ago ; and
that such should be the case becomes the less remark-
able, when we consider how close a parallel may be
drawn between some of the ecclesiastical disputes of
AND HIS PABISHIOKERS. 211
the last few years, and those of the days of Charles I.
A quarrel between a parson and his parishioners at the
present day would, however, be hardly a fitting subject
to bring under the notice of this Society ; and possibly,
from the reasons already mentioned, a quarrel of that
character, even though it took place more than two
centuries ago, might also seem an objectionable subject,
unless treated in a perfectly impartial and dispassionate
manner, and without holding up either of the parties
concerned to imqualified admiration or wholesale con*
demnation. The local interest attaching to the dispute
to which I am about to call your attention will be some
justification for introducing it ; and in laying before you
the Articles presented in Parliament by the parishioners
of Godalming against their Vicar, the Rev. Dr. Nicholas
Andrewes, I will endeavour to hold the balance even
between them, and neither declaim against the un-
reasonableness exhibited on the one side, nor the want
of discretion on the other, but confine myself as far as
possible to the facts of the case. I must take you back
to the time
" When civil dudgeon first grew higli,
And men fell out they knew not why ;
When hard words, jealousies, and fears
Set folks together by the ears ;"
" When tinkers bawled aloud to settle
Church discipline for patching kettle,
And oyster-women locked their fish up.
And trudged away to cry * No Bishop ! ' **
A time when even the porters of London petitioned
against Episcopacy, as a burden, says Fuller, "too
heavy for their shoulders."
In those days of Malignants and Houndheads, of
prelatists and saints, one Nicholas Andrewes, M. A., and
212 THE VICAR OF GODALMING
afterwards D.D., of the University of Cambridge, was
Rector of St. Nicholas, Guildford, and also Vicar of
Godalming ; and having what would now be termed a
High Church tendency, and possibly some other prin-
ciples which were not popular among those in whose
breasts the new lights of the time had sprung up ; some
of the more zealous of his parishioners, instigated
possibly by some godly minister who would not have
objected to hold the doctor's living in his stead, pre-
sented the following Articles against him to the House
of Commons, which had already, among other royal
prerogatives, begun to assume to itself the oflBlce, if not
the title, of the Supreme Head of the Church : —
Articles in Parliam* ag^ Nicholas Andrewes,
Vicar of Godalmynge, A° 1640.
To the Honorable Assemblie of the Knights, Citizens,
and Burgesses of the Commons House of Parlia-
ment.
The humble Petition of the Parishoners of the parishe
of Godalmynge in the countie of Surry Humblie sheweth
their manie grievances, wh they suffer under Nicholas
Andrewes, Vicar of the said parishe, whose Pride,
Idlenes, and aflPectacion of Poperie, his imperious manner
of Cariage and demeanour, his discountenancinge, and
suppressinge of good Preachinge and Teachinge, his
denyinge them to have a Lecturer (and yet himself
refusinge to preache), his superstitious observacon and
peremptorie pressinge and urginge of Ceremonies and
Innovations, his denyinge to Church womien, and to
administer the Sacrament of the Lords Supper, as
formerly they have used to have the same administered
unto them, w**" manie other things of much vexacon and
verie burthensome to the consciences of many of his
AND HIS PARISHIONERS. 213
parishioSs, As may appear by the Articles hereunto
annexed, doe all render him much undesired of his said
parishioSs (beinge a verie greate congregation) whoe
(for want of an able paynefuU and industrious edifyinge
Minister, w^ they (before all things in the world) doe
most cheifly desire) doe lyve in a verie disconsolate
estate and condicon, like unto those that have almost
loste their Religion. Most humblie therefore doe they
praye the wisdom and Justice of this Honor^^® house to
take this theire Petition and the said Articles, into your
pious and religious consideracons, that the said Nicholas
Andrewes may answeare the same and that some speedie
course may be taken, for the settlinge and establishinge
of an able and constant conscionable and religious
mynistrie in the said parishe, to the Honour and glorie
of Almightie God and for the comfortable instruccon
and Soules healthe of the people in the said parishe
Inhabitinge, beinge a verie numerous congregation, and
your Petitions (accordinge to theire bounden dueties)
shall dayly praye for your happines and prosperities.

Such were the articles of complaint against Dr.
Andrewes ; and most of the alleged grievances are such
that their character can readily be recognized at the
present day. There are, however, some among them
about which a few words of explanation may be desirable.
One of the complaints is that the vicar refused to admit
a godly lecturer into his pulpit at Godalming ; and when
we consider what was the usual character of the lec-
turers of those times, and the objects for which they
were appointed, we cannot think a reluctance to admit
one into his parish was by any means unreasonable on
the part of any incumbent. They were usually appointed
by the Parliament, mainly with a view of crying up
VOL. II. R
220 THE VICAR or GODALMING
their authority and for the promulgation of anti-
monarchical principles, but also partly as a means of
worrying the regular ministers out of their livings. It
would hardly be in place here to adduce specimens from
some of their lectures with a view of showing the style
of their discourses ; I will only say that the utter pro-
fanity of some passages is almost beyond belief. But
what was to be expected from over-zealous and at the
same time ignorant men, when those in authority com-
mitted unfortunate clergy to Newgate for singing ma-
lignant psalms, and others because, as their " mittimus '*
words it, they daily read most malignant chapters ?
With regard to the charge of haunting and frequent-
ing of tippling in inns, I will quote the words of Walker
in his " Sufferings of the Clergy," who says that the
charge of tavern-haunting and common swearing was
one of those most commonly made in accusations such
as that now before us, the first of which was very often
plainly no other than the innocent freedom of taking a
glass of wine in a public-house; and very frequently
the other, the using in discourse the asseveration, " By
my faith ! " With reference to the complaint of Dr.
Andre wes not administering the sacrament to those who
sat in their pews, I may mention that the practice of
kneeling to receive it was by the Puritan party con-
sidered Popish and superstitious ; attempting to make
the clergy carry the bread and wine to the pews, seems
to have been a test to which they were put to try their
opinions. " I have known some sectaries in London,"
says the writer of the Persecutio Undecima^ " command
their servants to go to the Sacrament, and to sit in the
lower places of the Church to try whether the minister
would bring the Sacrament to them in their seats, that
so they might have an Action of I^aw against the
AKD HIS PARISHIOKERS. 221
minister, or else complain against him to the Parlia-
ment." With regard to the " hanging kerchief," which
Mrs. Buckley would not wear, it certainly appears as if
Dr. Andre wes were attempting to revive the old practice
of wearing a white veil on the occasion of thanksgiving,
though the rubric only prescribed that she should be
decently apparelled. Mrs. Buckley was, however, more
fortunate than another woman in the diocese of Nor-
wich, in the reign of James I., who, for refusing to wear
such a veil, was excommunicated for contempt.
But I must not enter into further particulars, and
will now give you a summary of the offences of poor
Dr. Andre wes and their result, in the words of White's
"!Pirst Century of Scandalous and Malignant Mi-
nisters " : —
" The Benefices of Nicholas Andrewes, D.D., Bector
of the Parish Churches and Vicar of Godalmine in the
county of Surrey, are sequestered, for that he is not
only negligent in preaching himselfe, but hath also
expressed himself to be an enemy to frequent preach-
ing, inveighing in his sermons against long Sermons,
saying that Peters sword cut off but one eare, but
long Sermons like long swords cut off both at once,
and that the Surfeit of the Word is of all most dan-
gerous, and that the silliest creatures have longest
eares, and that preaching was the worst part of Gods
worship, and that if he left out anything he would
leave out that ; and refused to give the Parishioners
leave to have a Lecturer to preach unto them, and hath
presented his Parishioners that went to heare sermons
at other Churches, when they had no preaching at
home ; and caused the Churchwardens and Sidesmen to
be presented for not presenting such unto the Eccle-
siastical Court; and in delivering the bread in the
222 THE VICAR OP GODALMING
Sacrament, he elevateth it, lookes upon it, and buvres
low unto it, and useth other frequent bowing in ad-
ministering the Sacrament, and in his Sermons greatly
exclaims against that Doctrin which teacheth, that the
greatest part of the world should be damned; and
frequenteth Tavernes, and consumes his time in sitting
and tipling there : And hath refused to publish the
Order of Parliament concerning the removall of super-
stitious and Idolatrous pictures and Images, and hath
substituted to officiate for him in the said cure very-
scandalous and malignant curates, viz. Bucock, Lever-
land, Pasterloe, Heath, and one Blane, who is in the
army raised against the Parliament; and when his
people have propounded honest and orthodox men to be
his curates, he hath refused them."
Such is the Puritan account of Dr, Andrewes. Let us
now see the High Church version, which unfortunately
contains a most melancholy sequel, and is to be found
in Walker's " Suflferings of the Clergy," and elsewhere.
According to this account, he was zealously attached to
the Established Church; "for which, as well as for
refusing to admit a factious lecturer into his church,
and for preaching against certain Calvinistical doctrines
then much in fashion, his Livings were sequestered by
the Committee for ReHgion, in 1643. At length, having
been hurried from Jayl to Jayl, and for some time also
imprisoned on shipboard, he died under this barbarous
treatment and confinement, being, in a word, a zealous
man for the Church of England and a Great Loyalist."
Poor Mr. Wayferer, Rector of Compton, who, it will
be remembered, rode down to Southampton with Dr.
Andrewes, to eat fish and make merry together, and
while so doing, drank the health of "that honest old
man " the pope, nearly met with a similar fate. He
AND HIS FAKISHIOKERS. 223
was, in December, 1640, called to account for speaking
scandalous words of the Lords who petitioned the King
in the North, for which he was sequestered from his
living of Upham, Hants, and probably Compton also,
to which, having in some manner made his peace with
the powers that were, he was again presented in 1642.
I have only to add that the original copy of these
articles is preserved in the extensive and curious col-
lection of family papers belonging to Mr. More Moly-
neux, of Losely, who has kindly placed it in my hands,
and that without any knowledge whatever of local
politics, I am sure I may congratulate the present
vicar and parishioners of Godalming on their lot having
fallen in times more peaceful than those of their pre-
decessors two centuries ago.

MEMORANDUM ON THE NOTICES OF THE FAMILY
OF COBHAM OF STERBOEOUGH.
Since the publication of the second part of our present volume, the
fifteenth volume of the Sussex Arcbssological Collections has appeared,
containing an interesting Paper by W. Durrant Cooper, Esq., F.S.A.,
entitled " Sussex Men at Agincourtw** At page 124 the following passage
occars : — " The retinue of the Earl of Arundel was, indeed, partly com-
posed of men from Surrey and from his Welsh estates. His banneret
was Sir Beoikald Cobeham, of Steresborough, Surrey, who, in his
letters of safe-conduct, dated 5th June (Hot. Franc. 3 Hen. Y. m. 20),
is called brother and heir of John, son of Reginald de Cobham, who also
held the manor of Northeye, in Sussex. Sir Reginald was certainly at
the battle, and he so appears in the Earl of Arandel's roU, although, in
the carefully-written notices of the family, in the Collections of the
Surrey Archssological Society, it is stated that he is not mentioned in
the Roll of Agincourt, as having taken part in that great battle." —
Mr. Cooper refers to page 144 of our volume, and correctly remarks that
the name of Sir Reginald's deceased brother, John, is not given there.
Neither is he mentioned in the pedigree of the &mily which follows
page 168.
It is with pleasure that we notice these corrections. Mr. Durrant
Cooper has abundantly proved that Sir Reginald Cobham was engaged
in the Agincourt expedition. The contrary statement arose from the
fact that Sir Reginald's name does not occur in Sir N. H. Nicolas's
Agincourt Roll : an omission now explained by the circumstance that he
had no independent command. In the writ of protection referred to by
Mr. Durrant Cooper (Rot. Franc, vh, 8upra\ Sir Reginald is thus
described : — '' Reginaldus Cobham de Sterresburgh in Comitatd Surri»
miles, alias dictus Reginaldus de Cobham miles frater et heres Johannis
filii Reginaldi de Cobham de Sterresburgh militis senioris, alias dictos
Reginaldus frater Johannis filii Reginaldi de Cobham de Sterresburgh
militis senioris." It may be conjectured that Sir Reginald sued out the
king's writ, with this careful description of himself^ under some appre-
THE FAMILY OF COBHAM OF STERBOEOUGH. 226
hension of legal proceedings being taken against him while absent from
England, in consequence of a liability he had incurred as heir of his
brother. At present we find nothing more of this John. He certainly
died before his father Sir Begioald senior, as Sir Reginald of Agincourt
is returned as heir in the inquisition held on the father's death,* which
fact confirms the statement of his heirship in our. pedigree.
The following errata et corrigenda in the " Notices of the Family of
Cobham " may suitably be introduced here : —
P. 171, line 8 : for dosso read dorsorio.
lb., last line but 4 : " cum Mortwmalo et Geuenylea in principle
libri." A very probable explanation of these two odd-looking words,
which occur in Joan Lady Cobham's will, and which we were compelled
to leave without interpretation, has been suggested by G. R. French,
Esq. He proposes to read thus : '* cum [armis de] Mortymers et
Genevyles in principio," &c. (with Mortimers' and Geneviles' arms at
the beginning of the book, together with a picture of the Salutation).
Joan de Cobham, the testatrix, was daughter of Thomas Lord Berke-
ley, by Margaret, daughter of Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, and his
wife Joan, daughter and co-heir of Peter de Gen evil e, Lord of Trim in
Ireland. The Earl by this marriage acquired the right to impale, and
bis children to quarter, the arms of Genevile with that of Mortimer ;
aud it seems likely enough that the handsome illuminated volume
bequeathed by Lady Cobham had been executed for her maternal grand-
father, or for one of his family, and that, after the fashion of the period,
these two coats (either impaled or quarterly) had been introduced as
an accessory to the miniature on the first page.
The only serious difficulty in this interpretation, namely, the necessity
of inserting the words *^ armis de," becomes very slight, on an inspection
of the context. It will be seen that the expression '' cum armis de "
occurs only three lines before the passage in question, in a bequest of
a cup with the arms of Cobham and Berkeley; and a blunder in
transcribing the original will from a drafb might easily happen, parti-
cularly if, in the draft, the two groups of identical words chanced to
stand one immediately over the other. Supposing the words '' armis de "
once dropped in this way in the original will, the sense would be lost,
and the clerk who engrossed the registered copy from which we print
might, it is suggested, turn Mortymers into Mortumals or Mortumalo,
* In q. p. m. Regioaldi [iu the Calendar misprinted Itogerx\ Cobham ; 4 H. 4.
num. 34. — He was then aged 21 years and upwards.
226 MEMORANDUM ON THE NOTICES.
for, indeed, the final letter of the word in Wittlesey's Kegister may he
read either way, though the other letters are quite plain. Geuenyles
may equally well he read Geneuyles, there heing in &ct no distinction
in the MS. hetween the u and the n.
76., last line hut one : " Manuel Peche." The hook intended is clearly
the " Manuel des P^ch^," of Robert Orossteste, Bishop of Lincoln. See
pp. xii and xxxiii of Mr. Luard's Introduction to Grossteste's Epistles,
lately published by direction of the Master of the Kolls.
P. 145, line 1 ; 187, 1. U; and 189, 1. 24 : «Un colet d'or ov nn
baleys en le Toret.** The meaning of the word tarei being doubtful, it
was translated ^ pendant," with a note of interrogation. More.probably
it means Turret. '* A gold necklace with a ruby, in the Turret" A
little lower down in the will is a bequest of '' perlez enfilez en mon noire
forser " (a string of pearls in my black jewel-case), and by analogy the
words '' en le Toret " may well indicate the place where the subject of
this legacy was to be found. As to the word itself, it may be sufficient
to note the spelling of Langley Bv/rrell in the same will : '' Langele
BoreL** A turret in the Middle Ages was an ordinary place of security
for valuables, muniments of title, &c.
P. 184-5. By the expression ^'ma comm^re" in Reginald Cobham's
will, it seems more likely that the testator intended to describe the
Queen Fhilippa as hU oum godmother than as his gossip. In this
sense the word is used by Jean de Troyes, in his Chronicles of Louis XI.,
in the following passage, which is in itself interesting from its counection
with English history : " Au dit tems et le Samedi dernier jour de Juinz,
1470, environ entre deux et trois heures du matin, la royne accoucha an
chateau de Amboise de ung beau filz qu'illec fut baptist et nomm^
Charles par Monseigneur I'Archev^que de Lyon, avecques le Prince de
Galles, filz de Henry, jadis Hoy d'Angleterre, et prisonnier detenu par
Edouart, qui se disoit roy du dit pays d'Angleterre, et la cammere fut
Madame Jehanne de France, Duchesse de Bourbon."
