RULES.
1. The Society shall be called the " Sussex Archaeological Society,"
and shall avoid all topics of religious or political controversy, and shall
remain independent of, though willing to co-operate with, similar societies
by friendly communication.
2. Every candidate for admission shall be proposed by one Member,
and seconded by another, and elected by the Committee by ballot at any
of their meetings. One black ball in five to exclude.

any person (including foreigners) likely to promote the interests of the

scription, shall not exercise the privilege of an ordinary Member as to
voting at the meetings or the proposal of candidates, and shall be subject
to re-election annually.

of his election.
7. No Member shall participate in any of the benefits of the Society
until he shall have paid his subscription, and, if a new Member, his
entrance fee.
8. If the sum due from a new Annual Member under the preceding
Rules be not paid within one month from the date of his admission, if he

X • RULES.
if the defaulter shall be resident in Great Britain or Ireland, or within
one month after his return, if he shall have been abroad, he shall cease to
be a Member of the Society, and his name shall he erased from the books,
unless he can justify the delay to the satisfaction of the Committee.
Any Member intending to withdraw his name from the Society shall give
notice in writing to the Clerk on or before the 1st January of his intention
to do so, otherwise he shall be liable for the current year's subscription.

Secretaries at such place as the Committee may determine on the re-
quisition in writing of Five Members, or of the President, or two Vice-
Presidents specifying the subject to be brought forward for considera-
tion at such meeting, and that subject only shall be then considered and
resolutions passed thereon.
13. At all Meetings of the Society or of- the Committee the resolu-
tions of the majority present and voting, shall be binding. j

BEPORT.
The Committee, in presenting the report of the proceedings of the
Sussex Archaeological Society for 1888, congratulate the Members
upon the satisfactory condition of the Society, and upon the progress
made during the past year.
The Annual Meeting on August the 9th was generally considered
one of the most successful that has taken place for some years. The
day's proceedings included visits to Bayham Abbey, Lamberhurst,
and Scotney Castle. The carriage drive from Tunbridge Wells,
passing through most varied and picturesque scenery, was much
enjoyed, the weather being exceptionally fine. At Bayham the
Members and their friends were met by the Marquis of Camden, who
threw open the house for their inspection. The beautiful and care-
fully-preserved ruins of the Abbey (which had not been visited by the
Society since 1858) were examined with very great interest, and a
paper upon the Architectural History of this once flourishing Priory
was read by W. H. St. John Hope, Esq., M.A., F.S.A. This paper,
in a slightly altered form, will, it is hoped, find a place in a subse-
quent volume of the Society's Collections.
The Annual Dinner took place at Lamberhurst, under the presi-
dency of Edward Hussey, Esq., who afterwards welcomed the com-
pany to Scotney Castle, where that gentleman read a paper upon the
history of that beautiful and romantic place. Before leaving, the
visitors were invited to partake of tea.
The thanks of the Committee are tendered to G. Abbott, Esq., and
others who contributed to promote the success of the meeting.
During the past year the Society has lost by death several Members
who for many years were prominently associated with its manage-
ment. Reference should be made in this connection to the sudden
and lamented decease of the Rev. Prebendary C. Heathcote Campion,
M.A., Rector of Westmeston, from the effects of an accident while
riding on October 8th, at the advanced age of 74. From its establish-
ment, in 1846, he was a member of the Committee of the Society ; he
was a valued contributor to its Collections, a kind and good friend at
all times, and was also one of the Honorary Secretaries, having been
elected to that office at a Special Greneral Meeting of the Members on
XIV REPORT.
June 2l8t, 1888. Another prominent Member of the Society, who
also passed away during 1888, was Robert Crosskey, Esq., J.P.
Joining the Society in 1857, Mr. Crosskey was for many years a
member both of the Finance and Greneral Committees. He also filled
the office of Honorary Curator and Librarian. His death occurred on
November 9th (at the age of 60 years), while at Grasse, in France.
Mr. Crosskey always manifested a warm interest in the welfare of
the Society, and the Committee desire to place upon record their sense
of the loss it has sustained by his lamented death. Mention should
also be made of the loss of another member of the Committee, Major
Warden Sergison, J.P., who died on July 16th, after a short illness.
Among other old and valued Members of the Society who passed
away during the year was the Rev. Thomas Agar Holland, M.A.,
Rector of Poynings, who died on October 18th, at the very advanced
age of 86. The rev. gentleman was one of the original Members of
the Society, and a contributor to its Collections.
At a meeting of the Committee, held in December last, Charles
Taylor Phillips, Esq., was unanimously chosen as Honorary Curator
and Librarian 'j^o temp., and the thanks of the Committee are due to
that gentleman for the services he has so zealously rendered in pro-
moting the interests of the Society. Thanks are also due to E. H. W.
Dunkin, Esq., for his valuable services in compiling the Calendar of
Deeds, which will be found at page 39 of this volume. It has been
suggested that it would be desirable to form a collection of portraits
of " Sussex Worthies," and also a Loan Collection of objects of anti-
quarian interest, the rooms over the Society's Reading-Room and
Library to be utilized for these purposes. It is hoped that the
Members will co-operate with the Committee so as to enable them to
carry out these suggestions.

HEEALDEY AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS.
By J. LEWIS ANDR4 Esq.
In the pages of the " Sussex Archaeological Collections "
the importance of the science of heraldry has been ably
advanced by Mr, Ellis in the sixth volume, and by Mr,
Lower in the twenty-fourth. In addition to the argu-
ments in its favour there set forth, I would add one,
which I confess has not the same importance as those
given, but which I think worthy of consideration. Briefly,
it is this, that properly to understand and appreciate the
works of some of our earliest but greatest poets, an
acquaintance with the leading features of heraldry is in-
dispensable. The pages of ShSkespeare, for example,
abound with heraldic allusions which imply a knowledge
of the subject in the readers of his plays. Who, for in-
stance, that is ignorant of it could understand Helena,
in A Midsummer NigMs Dreamy when she says —
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem ;
So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart,
Two of the first, like coats in heraldry,
Dae but to one and crowned with one crest.
Act iii., sc. 2.
or perceive the allusion to the badge of Richard the
Second in the following passage —
See, see^ King Richard doth himself appear^
As doth the blushing discontented sun,
From out the fiery portal of the east,
When he perceives the envious clouds are bent
To dim his glory !

mation in which the possession of coat armour was held

2 HERALDRY AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS,
in former times, and the jealousy with which the owner
guarded it, the subjoined extracts from Spenser lose
much of their force. The first is from the Faerie Queene
(Bk. I., canto 4), where the poet says of the slayer of
"Sans Joy" —
Whose shield he bears revers't, the more to heap disdayn.
And the second from the same poem (Bk. V., canto 11) —
" But why have ye," said Artegall, ** forborne
Your owne good shield in daungerous dismay ?
That is the greatest shame and foulest scorne
Which unto any knight behappen may,
To loose the badge that should his deedes display."
Having indulged in the above quotations from the
works of the two most celebrated Elizabethan poets, to
show the necessity of a knowledge of heraldry in order
to duly understand them, I will now proceed to consider,
without further divergence, how intimately the science is
connected with monumental art in Sussex, and in doing
so propose to divide the present paper into six parts.
I. — Armorial Bearings in general^ on effigies and tombs.
II. — Crests. III. — Supporters. IV. — Badges. V. — Mottoes.
VI. — The Order of the Garter, and other honourable
distinctions, with a few words in conclusion on heraldry
at funerals.
I. Armorial Bearings.-r-In England the earliest known
representation of a shield bearing arms, in association
with monumental art, occurs on an effigy in the Temple
Church, London, and is of early thirteenth century
date. A little later is the recumbent figure of William
Longesp^e at Salisbury; he died in 1226, and his
surcoat is charged with his arms, as is likewise his
shield. And from this date we meet with coat armour
on the dresses of nobles and other persons, till the middle
of the sixteenth century, of which practice Sussex fur-
nishes many good examples.^ The effigy of a knight at
1 The latest instance of armorial bearings forming part of a costume is, I
believe, to be found at Westminster Abbey, where the monument of Sir George
Villiers, erected in 1631, exhibits him, says Neale, with a sash which, crossing the
body from the right shoulder, spreads open at the left side, and shows his armorial
bearings, namely, on a cross five escallops, and the skirts of his doublet are also
bordered with escallop shells.
HBEALDEY AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS. 3
Ifield, supposed to be of Sir John de Ifield, and about
1317 in date, has had his arms painted on the cyolas, a
long and flowing garment which was superseded by the
shorter and closer fitting jupon early in the reign of
Edward III. There are several examples of armorial
jupons on the eflfigies of Sussex monuments; the mutilated
brass of a knight at Bodiam, 1360, is one instance, and
there is another on the once enamelled e&.gy of a knight
of the Dallingrugge family, about 1395, at Fletching.
A fragment found in the ruins of Robertsbridge Abbey,
of an effigy of a member of the same family, exhibits a
similar feature, and is of about the same date. Thomas
Lord Braose, wears a jupon on his effigy at Horsham,
1395, bearing, on a field crusily, a lion rampant, and
the figure of a knight at Hurstpierpoint, is another
example.
As the cyclas was discarded for the jupon, so the
latter, in its turn, gave way to the tabard, which was the
last variation in the armour-covering dress of a knight,
and continued in use till the middle of the sixteenth
century. Like the earlier surcoat or cyclas, it was loose-
fitting, and at first of thin pliant materials, so that it fell
in graceful folds about the person of the wearer.
Boutell says one of the earliest examples of the tabard is
shown on the effigy of John Fitz-Alan, Earl of Arundel,
at Arundel ; he died in 1434, and the arms upon it are
those of Fitz-Alan and Maltravers, appearing quarterly
on the body of the dress and as single coats upon the
sleeves. But there is a still earlier instance of a tabard
on a Sussex memorial, that on the brass of John Wantele,
at Amberley, which is dated 1424, and this has simply
the owners arms emblazoned upon the body of the
garment only. Sleeves are a feature peculiar to the
tabard, they varied in length, and usually bore only
single coats upon them. At Clapham, the fine brass of
Sir John Shelley, 1526, shows him in this dress charged
with his paternal coat, and at Basebourne the effigy of
Sir David Owen, 1542, also bears it. The indent of the
brass, at Burton, of Sir William Goring, now lost, shows
that he was represented in a tabard, and the figure of his
4 HEBALDBT AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS.
wife, still remaining in the same church, exhibits her
clad in it.^
Shields with armorial bearings are frequently met with
on eflfigies till the middle of the fourteenth century ; an
example of that epoch occurs on the recumbent figure of
one of the Alard family, at Winchelsea. Before the
close of the thirteenth century kings and nobles are
often represented carrying pennons (a feature more
especially to be met with on royal and other seals), and
the earliest brass remaining in England exhibits this
feature ; it appears, in a modified form, on the brass of
Sir Hugh Halsham, 1441, at West Grinstead, where
there have been three armorial banners, only one of
which remains.^
The costumes of the eflBgies of ladies often exhibit
armorial bearings, and the earliest brass of a female,
that at Trotton, of Lady Camoys, circa 1310, originally
had small shields scattered all over the dress, in a manner
similar to that seen on the recumbent efligy of William,
de Valence at Westminster Abbey. Towards the close
of the fourteenth century, the heraldic mantle was intro-
duced, and there are many examples of ladies wearing it
on their monumental effigies. The earliest is, I believe,
exhibited on the brasses of Sir John Foxley and his
wives, 1375, at Bray, in Berkshire. There is a fine
example at Clapham, where the lady of Sir John Shelley
wears one, with the arms of Shelley* and Michelgrove
quarterly. The' last instance of a heraldic mantle that
I have met with is at Baconsthorpe, Norfolk, where
Lady Anne Heydon is so attired j the epitaph bears date
1577/ Plain mantles are seen on brasses of ladies at
> The annour of foreign knights was sometimes engraved with their armorial
hearings. A seventeenth century suit of plate armour, now in the Tower of London,
has a crucifix on the hreast, and the device of a two-headed eagle in a series of small
arched panels surrounding it. Coats of arms are seen upon the sword sheaths of
several English effigies, and on the pommels of that weapon. A beautiful instance of
the last practice may be seen on the tomb of one of the Daubeny family, at
Westminster. At Winchelsea, the Sacred Monogram is similarly introduced on one
of the Alard effigies.
s These pennons are of great antiquity. A mosaic of ninth century date at St.
John Lateran, shows the Emperor Charlemagne, holding a triple.ended pennon
powdered with crosses in circles.
* Lady Heydon was a daughter of Sir William Drury, whose family had branches
at Pulboroughj and other places in Sussex (see Berry's ** Pedigrees of Sussex,"
page 202).
HERALDRY AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS. 5
Pletohing, 1395; Horsted Keynes, circa 1430; and as
late as 1631 at Isfield, where the two wives of Sir John
Shurley, are clad in them. The effigies of Beatrice,
Countess of Arundel, 1429, and of Joan, Countess of
Arundel, 1487, both wear the mantles of their rank.
Bishops and other ecclesiastics bore arms, the former
sometimes those of their families (occasionally differenced
by the addition of mitres), or impaled with the armorial
bearings of their See. This is, perhaps, the commonest
form in which they are seen on monuments, and is a
custom which is practised to the present day, the arms
of the Diocese always occupying the dexter or more
honourable side. Robert de Waldeby, Archbishop of
York, but for a short time an occupant of the See of
Chichester, has on his brass at Westminster only the
arms of his patron, Richard II., namely, those of St.
Edward the Confessor, impaling France and England
quarterly. Thomas Nelond, Prior of Lewes, had on his
brass at Cowfold, 1433, two shields, only one of which
remains — that on the dexter side of the canopy over his
effigy. It is charged with the arms, or verbal symbol,
of the Trinity. The other probably had the emblems of
the Crucifixion.^ Clerics are often seen with charges
from their arms, or other devices of heraldic character,
introduced into their vestments. Thomas Mapleton, of
Broadwater, has his punning device of the maple leaf on
the orphrey of his cope, and the initials of two priests
appear in a similar manner at Arundel and Horsham.
Shields at the sides of tombs are often seen suspended
by their straps, passed over foliage work or boughs of
trees, as on the monument of Queen Eleanor at West-
minster, in which church, on the brass of Alienor de
Bohun, two scutcheons are supported by figures of
youths, with the thongs passing over the lads' shoulders.
In Jacobean work they are upheld by cords or ribbons,
twisted about fantastically, as on an Apsley tomb at
Thakehara, and the Caryll one at Warnham, or they are
suspended by scarves, as at Horsham, on the tomb of
• The brass of John de Campeden, 1382, at St. Cross, Winchester, has shields over
the figure in a somewhat similar position. On the dexter scutcheon are the arms
of the Trinity, and the sinister one bears the emblems of the Crucifixion.
6 HBBALDET AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS.
Mrs. Delves. Scutcheons are often to be observed,
supported on the shafts or pinnacles of brasses, as at
Hurstmonceux, on the Fiennes' brass, dated 1402. At
Thakeham, the incised alabaster slab for William Apsley,
1527, has shields set in the inscribed border, the red
tincture of which is still vivid. At Arundel, the
scutcheons occupy an unusual position on the tomb of
Thomas, Earl of Arundel, 1416, being placed round the
cornice.
Occasionally an armorial shield and inscription formed
the only memorial of the deceased. Richard Mascall,
1631, is so commemorated at Ringmer,and Walter West,
1648, at New Shoreham. Other examples are at Old
Shoreham, 1652, and St. Botolph's, 1681. The monu-
ment of Richard Shelley, Esquire, at Patcham, 1591,
shows his arms and mantled crest, between two emble-
matical figures of Labour in arched panels at the sides,
an inscription on the cornice completing the design.
Officers under the Crown, often placed the arms of the
Sovereign during whose reign they served, upon their
tombs, and merchants and tradesmen those of the towns,
companies, or trading guilds with which they were con-
nected. The slab of "Isaack Allen," mercer, 1672, at
Lindfield, bears his arms, and below them, on the dexter
side, are placed those of the City of London, and on the
sinister, those of the Mercers* Company.
The custom of placing ladies' arms in a lozenge-shaped
panel, is of comparatively recent date, and has been by no
means universally followed ; the shape being about the
most awkward that could be selected for the purpose,
especially when more than one coat is introduced.* An
early instance of a lady's family arms on a lozenge, is to
be seen on the brass of John Shelley, at Clapham, dated
1550. Elizabeth Culpeper, a little girl, aged seven, who
" changed this life for a better " in 1624, bears her family
arms on her brass at Ardingly in a lozenge, but the three
coats of arms on the brass of Jane Covert, at Slaugham,
are on scutcheons of the usual shape; as are several
shields on the Delves' tomb at Horsham.
6 The celebrated Syon oope^ a work of the fourteenth century, has several coats of
arm 8 in lozenges worked upon it.
HBBALDBY AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS. 7
In the early days of Heraldry, as a rule, only a few-
emblazoned shields appear upon monumental works, with
the single family coat of the deceased. Thus the brass
of Sir John de Brewys, 1426, at Wiston, presents us with
six shields, each charged with the Brewys' arms of the
rampant lion. When quartering became general, the
number of shields speedily augmented. An instance of
the use of numerous scutcheons may be noticed on the
tomb of Thomas, Earl of Arundel, at Arundel, where there
are no less than forty. In Elizabethan, and Jacobean
times, the summit of heraldic display on monuments was
reached. The tomb of Viscount Montague at Ease-
bourne (formerly at Midhurst) has several shields, with
between twenty and thirty quarterings upon each, and
the Jefferay monument at Chiddingly, dated 1612, has a
large number of armorial bearings/ When only a few
coats were employed, it was a favourite and pleasing
practice to have three shields, the central one with the
arms of the deceased and his wife impaled together, and
the side ones with those of the respective families as
single coats. Instances are met with on the brasses of
William Wykehurst, at Ardingly, and of John Shelley,
at Clapham.
Before leaving the subject of armorial bearings, a few
words must be said upon punning or allusive arms,
•as they enter conspicuously into Sussex monumental
heraldry.® At Rustington is the ledger of Roger Ber-
wick {ph. 1705), with the three muzzled bears' heads of
his arms, whilst at Old Shoreham is a memorial of the
Blaker family, bearing the charge of three blackamoor
heads. The cotton hanks of the Cottons, appear on
monuments at Clapham, and West Firle. The doe of the
Dobells, is seen tripping between the three bells on the
memorial of William Dobell (1752), at Street, and the
f The shields upon the Barttelot brasses, at Stopham, are evideDtly " restorations *'
of seventeenth century date, when groups of children in dresses of that period were
placed beneath the mediasval effigies, and a kneeling figure in short cloak and large
boots, was fixed over an inscription of the fifteenth century.
^ Funning devices in connection with monuments are of g^eat antiquity. Malt-
land in his '* Church in the Catacombs,*' engraves three such (p. 226). The first,
on the tomb of one Pontius Leo, shows a lion ; the second, on that of Julius
Doliens, exhibits two casks ; and the third, on the resting place of a little girl
named Foroella, takes the form of a little pig. The earliest pun known in English
heraldry is that of the swallows of the Arundel arms.
8 HEBALDBT AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS.
triple rings of the Gorings, are on tombs at Burton,
whilst the three gloves (gants) of the Gunters, embellish
the grave of John Gunter, at Racton. Falconer was the
original name of the Michelgrove family, whence the
falcon seen on the Shelley monuments at Olapham, and of
the Gages, at Framfield, and West Firle. The Pelhams
bore three pelicans in allusion, it is said, to their name,
and perhaps correctly, as mediaBval punning was often
very far-fetched. Many Sussex memorials exhibit these
arms in connection with those of other families. The
simple pun of the Shelleys — the three whelk shells —
appears on their monuments at Clapham and elsewhere.
Lastly, the device of the Willards — the three fish wheels
— decorates a mural slab at St. Anne's, Lewes, dated
1732.^
II. Crests. — Crests occupy a position next in import-
ance to that of coats of arms; and there are several
instances of fourteenth century date, some of which are
placed on helmets over shields, in the modern manner.
The earliest instance known of an effigy connected with
a crested helm occurs at Ingham, Norfolk, on the tomb
of Sir Oliver Ingham, dated 1343, and is so exquisite a
work of art that it is mentioned here, though not a
Sussex example. After the middle of the fourteenth
century, effigies frequently have crests, either placed on
helmets used as cushions for the heads, or the devices are-
employed as supports to the feet. The brass of Sir John
de Brewys, at Wiston, supplies a beautiful fifteenth cen-
tury exemplification of the former practice. Instances
of the latter are furnished by the Braose effigy, at Hor-
sham, and by the statues of two Earls of Arundel, at
Arundel, those of Thomas Fitz-Alan, 1416, and John
Fitz-Alan, 1424, the feet of each resting upon their crest
of the white horse. The recumbent statue of Sir John
Gage, 1557, at West Firle, shows his crest of the ram,
^ AmoDg curious charges occasionally to be met with may be noticed the coat of
arms on the ledger of Charles Elanert, (1843) at Petwortb, which has for sole
device, a column in bend. On the monument of Viscount Montagne, at Easeboume,
are the curious arms of Calceth, an eagle bearing a swaddled babe in its claws.
The arms of Bo we, as seen on the slab of Isabella, wife of Nathaniel Bowe, at
Walberton, are singular for their markedly religious character, consisting of a
nimbed Lamb and flag for the crest, and three similar symbols for the arms.
HERALDET AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS. 9
similarly placed, and the figure of Judge Lewknor, 1616,
at West Dean, (Chichester), has also the feet of the judge
upheld by his crest of the greyhound.
Sculptured crests, may be seen over the fourteenth
century Dallingrugge tomb, at Fletching, over that of
John Shurley, 1579, at Isfield, and above the Oaryll
tomb, at Warnham, dated 1613. The fleur-de-lis, form-
ing the Apsley crest, enters into the guilloche ornamenta-
tion running along the cornice of the seventeenth century
monument of that family, at Thakeham.
There were punning crests, as well as coats of arms ;
the Stapleys had a staple forming a part of theirs, as may
be seen on the memorial of John Stapley, 1677, at Patcham,
and the Wheatleys, one of whom is commemorated at
Pevensey, had a garb, or wheatsheaf, for their crest.
The tomb of Eichard Leech, 1576, at Fletching, shows,
in like manner, a hand entwined with a leech.
After the Reformation, crests were placed occasionally
above the arms of clergymen. An instance may be men-
tioned, at Fletching, where the ledger of the Eev. Eichard
Baynes, 1786, exhibits the remarkable punning arms and
crest of his family, the former having two thigh bones
(banes) crossed (per fess and per pale), the latter show-
ing a hand wielding a blade-bone as a weapon. Bishops
have placed mitres above their shields at all times ; an
example occurs on the tomb of Bishop Sherburne, at
Chichester, where, in the same cathedral. Bishop Eeynolds
has a monument with a series of panels enclosing mitres
in place of the usual coats of arms.
By the rules of the heralds, crests have been forbidden
to ladies, except royal ones ; but the law on the subject
has not been adhered to, at any rate as regards the
sepulchral memorials of females. Two crests are seen
on the tomb of Mrs. Delves, at Horsham, over one shield,
and one above another scutcheon. Two crests are unusual
in English heraldry, but may be occasionally met with in
late examples, and even as many as four, as on the monu-
ment of Lady Elizabeth Knollys, at Westminster, dated
1561.
The mantling of helmets and crests, arose soon after
xxxvii.
10 HBBALDBT AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS.
the introduction of the latter,^® and at first consisted of a
simple drapery only, hanging in folds at the back of the
casque ; but the foliage-edged mantling now in use, is
seen in fifteenth century work ; in the seventeenth it is
of very bold yet elegant character, as on the Delves, and
Oaryll tombs, before alluded to.
The lion's head on the helmet of Lord Braose, rises
from a very rich crown of foliage work of Perpendicular
character ; and crests are often seen either rising from
ducal coronets, or placed upon caps of maintenance.
Both practices were originally confined to the crests of
persons of rank, and both are now common to all, of
whatever status they may be. The use of the ducal
crown, does not, I think, call for further remark here,
though a few words may be said respecting the cap of
maintenance, which is a feature prominently connected
With the crests of several Sussex families. A very excel-
lent example of it may be seen on the brass of Sir John
de Brewys, where it is clearly shown, and of the
present shape. It appears on the brass of Thomas
Parker, 1580, at Willingdon, and on the Delves' tomb,
so often mentioned. The crests of the following Sussex
families are placed over caps of maintenance : Brand,
of Hurstpierpoint ; Beauclerk, of Beeding; Newington,
of Ticehurst ; Rushton (formerly of Barnley) ; Thorpe,
of Worth ; and Yaldwin, of Lurgashall."
The gauntlets of a knight or squire, were occasionally
represented on his monument, as well as his shield and
crested helm. Instances may be noticed on the brass of
John Shelley, at Olapham, and on the mural monument
^^ Mediaeval usages maybe often illustrated by a comparison with those of the East
at the present day. In a book, entitled *' The Court and Camp of Runjeet Sin^/'
and published in 1840, is a passage in which we are informed that Soocket Sing,
brother of the Prime Minister, wore " a hel&et, or scull-cap, of bright polish^
steel, inlaid with gold, and a deep frin£:e of chain mail of the same material reaching
to his shoulders; three plumes of black heron's feathers waving on his crest, and
three shawls of lilac, white, and scarlet twisted very round and tight, interlaced
with one another, and gathered round the edge of the helmet, a chalenk of rubies
and diamonds on his forehead*' (Quo " Bdin. Review," April, 1840, p. 206.)
" The Dukes of Norfolk, and Richmond, have their crests carried upon caps of
maintenance, which is not the case with all ducal personages. The head-gear itself
still forms part of the Lord Mayor of London's insignia, and is borne before him on
stated occasions. There is also an hereditary bearer of Cap of Maintenance for the
Crown, the ofiBce being filled by the Marquess of Winchester — the Premier Marquess
of England.

of '"Sii? William Springett, Knt., at Eingmer, dated
1643."
III. Supporters. — Little need be said on this part of
my subject, as supporters are not of very frequent occur-
rence on ancient monuments. Their use was not always
confined to supporting shields, but they often uphold
banners of arms, as may be seen at Hurstmonceux Castle,
where in a panel over the entrance, is a banner of the
Fiennes supported by their family " beste," the alart, or
watch dog. A lion and a falcon, uphold, in a similar
manner, the arms of Lord Bouchier on his tomb at West-
minster, dated 1461. Two wolves flank the garter-
encircled arms of Viscount Montague, at Easebourne,
whilst similar scutcheons on the tomb of Sir Anthony
Browne, at Battle, are upheld by nude cherubs, or
amorini^ and vested angels bear up the arms and mitre
of Bishop Sherburne, at Chichester. Beautiful examples
of supporters are carved on the early sixteenth century
tombs of the De la Warrs, at Broadwater. The use of
supporters has been pretty closely confined to the upper
classes of the nobility, though Edmondson, in his '* Body
of Heraldry'* (Vol. I., p. 191), objects that among others
the Coverts, of Sussex, assumed them improperly.
IV. Badges. — Badges are of great interest to Sussex
antiquaries, from the prominent manner in which that of
the Pelham family has been introduced by its members
upon everything capable of bearing the impression of a
buckle, including the backs of sheep. The badge differs
from the crest, which was worn or assumed by the bearer
of coat armour and his family alone ; the former, on the
contrary ,distinguished the domestics of his household and
other dependants. The badge was held in great honour,
and, in the reign of Charles I., a London citizen suffered
imprisonment for speaking disrespectfully of a nobleman s
badge, which he had called a goose, the proper cognizance
in question being a swan.^^ Shakespeare often alludes to
badges, and, in Henry FZ., makes Clifford exclaim —
" A pretty example may be found on the tomb of a knight at Ingham, Norfolk,
where the dog under his feet carefully guards the owner's gauntlet in his paws.

To which Warwick replies —
Now by my father's badge, old Nevile's crest,
The rampant bear, chain'd to the ragged staff.
Hen. F/., Pt. ii., Act v., sc. 1.
Sovereigns sometimes assumed the badge of a favourite
noble, and there is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth, at Par-
ham, whose dress is covered with repetitions of the ragged
staff of Dudley of Leicester.
Badges were frequently introduced in the canopies of
tombs and brasses ; the cognizance of the De la Warrs, the
crampette^ or ornament at the end of a sword sheath, is
conspicuous on their monuments at Broadwater.^* The
oak leaves of the Arundel family trail round the edge of
one of the tombs at Arundel, and at Orowhurst, Surrey
(but on the borders of Sussex), the grappling iron of the
Gaynesfords, is to be perceived in the spandrils of a
monumental canopy. The Pelh£|,m buckle, so frequently
found on churches, and on articles of domestic use, such
as firebacks and irons, appears on no monument of that
family with which I am acquainted.^^
[Since the above waS written Mr. John Sawyer has
kindly informed me that at New Shoreham there is in
the churchyard a group of tombs of the Pelham family,
one of which has an oval shield bearing their arms, and
wil^ the peacock crest above them. — J. L. A.]
\. Mottoes. — These very interesting adjuncts to
armprial insignia do not occur upon monumental works
with any frequency till the close of the sixteenth
century. Originally the "word" or motto belonged to
the badge or cognizance, but has been placed in its
present position under coats of arms for the last three
hundred years.- The English sovereigns and their
queens had each a personal motto till the time of James
I., and that of Queen Elizabeth, '*Beati pacifici," occurs
upon her tomb. Some families have been as proud of
H Q^he crampette dates from very early times, and the efSgy of an Assyrian King
remains, showing the end of his sword-sheath formed by the figures of *' two lions
rampant combatant/' Four variations of the De la Warr crampette, are figured
in "S. A. C," Vol. XXIV., p. 11.

their motto, as the Pelhams were of their badge. The
Percies, of whom many sepulchral memorials exist at
Petworth, had a remarkable fondness for their motto,
" Bsperance en Dieu," and these simple words, with a
short inscription only, form the sole memento of Isabella
Percy (wife of Algernon Percy, Earl of Berkeley), who
died in 1812, and is buried in Westminster Abbey..
Mottoes are justly considered as derived from war cries,
and were used as such by the followers of their owners ;
thus the retainers of the Percies shouted "Esperance
Percy " at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. So fond was
Henry Algernon Percy, fifth Earl of Northumberland, of
his motto that he wrote a series of elegant and touching
verses upon it, and had them inscribed upon the walls of
his hall at Leckynfield.^® The motto of Bishop Sher-
burne, " Operibus oredite," is placed beneath his arms
on his tomb; that of the Montagues, " Suivez rayson,"
is on the monument at Easebourne. After the establish-
ment of the College of Arms, mottoes were furnished by
its officers ; that of the Scras (now Sorase) family, was
so derived by grant, in 1616 ; it may be seen on the
ledger of Captain Scras, at St. Botolph's, and the words,
" Volando reptilia sperno," are expressly stated by the
herald, to imply that generous minds do not stoop to base
and evil things." The appropriateness of many mottoes
is very striking. What can be more so than the family
one of the Baynes, ** Furor arma ministrat," when
placed under their bony arms and crest ? The motto of
the Rev. John Studley, on his ledger (1726), at All
Saints', Lewes, is "Naturae defensio inutilis," which,
sculptured under his arms and crest of antlered stags'
heads, is, what old writers would c^U, ** a pretty conceit."
Crests occasionally have mottoes, as well as arms ; thus
^^ Shakespeare was fully aware of the family predileotioD, as may be seen in
Henry VI. , Part ii., Act ii., sc. 3. The brass of John Borell, at Broxbourne,
Herts, circa 1530, bore mottoes almost identical with the Percy one, being *' Espoir
en Dieu " and " I trust in God/»
17 It is interesting to ascertain the sources from whence mottoes were derived.
That of the family of Arderne, of Leigh, Surrey, was " Semper Collvetemur,*' as
seen in the stained-glass of the church, and a label from the mouth of an effigy
of an Arderne, bore, *' Ut videntes Jesum, semper collvetemur,'' which shows con-
clusively that the motto was taken from the hymn ** Ave maris stella ** of the
Roman Breviary, of which it forms the concludiDg line. '* Ave crux spes unica ''
appears on some of our coins, and was likewise taken from a hymn.
14 HEBALDBT AND SUSSEX MOKUMBNTS.
the monument of Sergison Nott, Esq. (1802), at Little
Horste&d, bears the legend " Pax in terra," round the
crest, and " Miserere mei Deus," under the arms.
VI. The Order of the Oarter^ and other honourable dis'
tinctions. — To complete the subject of this paper, a few
remarks must be made respecting the insignia of the
Order of the Garter, and other honourable distinctions
often to be met with in monumental works. Pre-eminent
amongst all orders, that of the Garter has at all times
been held in the highest esteem both at home and
abroad.^® In former times a member of it could proudly
point to its insignia as a proof of his rank, and Shakes-
peare, in Henry F/., when he shows us Suffolk in the
midst of his enemies, makes him exclaim —
Look on my George, I am a gentleman.^^
Hen, VI., Pt. ii.. Act iy,, sc. 1.
The Garter and its motto, " Honi soit," etc., may be
seen on the left leg of the effigy of Thomas Lord
Oamoys, 1426, at Trotton, and is a very noteworthy
example, as the bearer was received into the Order on
the feast of S. George following the Battle of Agin-
court, on the field of which he had greatly distinguished
himself. Sir Anthony Browne appears in the full
insignia upon his tomb, at Battle, 1540, and his relative.
Sir John Gage, is represented, at West Firle, with the
collar of S.S. and the George, having been a member,
the inscription tells us, " preclari ordinis Garterii." He
died in 1557. The members of the Order have the privi-
lege of encircling their arms with the Garter and its
motto.^ On the brass of Lord Oamoys, just mentioned,
it occurs twice, being placed round very beautifully
^' As a proof of the esteem in which the Order is held on the Continent, a news-
paper of the date records that during the solemnities of Corpus Christi, at Lisbon,
in 1882, King Louis of Portugal wore the habit of the Order of the Garter and its
insignia during the procession, when he held a pole of the canopy over the host,
and at the solemn Benediction, and Te Deum, after.
^0 An anachronism, however, on the part of the poet, as the George, was added
to the other insignia by Henry VII. Still the passage goes to prove the great
value set on the Order, in the days of Elizabeth.
^^ An illumination exists representing John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, pre-
senting a book to Henry VI., and attired in the long mantle of the Order,
•* powdered " with circles inscribed with the motto. The habit thus embroidered,
was worn by other nobles, and the number of circles was regulated by the rank of
the wearer.
HEBALDBT AND SUSSEX MONUMENTS. 15
foHaged panels charged with the Camoys arms. It
appears in a similar manner on the Browne, and Gage
tombs, alluded to above.^^
Much has been written on the origin and meaning of
the mysterious collar of S.S., so frequently seen on
monumental ejffigies, but no satisfactory explanation has
hitherto been given of either .^^ The fragmentary statue
of one of the Dallingrugge family, found at Roberts-
bridge, and now preserved at Lewes Castle, shows an
early example of this inexplicable decoration ; it is also
on the figures of Thomas, and of John, both Earls of
Arundel, in the Church of Arundel. Thomas, Lord
Camoys, and his wife Elizabeth each wear it on their
effigies at Trotton, a feature showing their strong Lan-
castrian sympathies, as the collar of S.S. was the dis-
tinctive badge of that party. Sir David Owen has a
collar of this device, " apparently mixed with roses," on
his tomb at Easebourne, about 1542 in date.^
If the Lancastrian faction had their distinguishing
badge, so had the Yorkists, and bore an emblematical
cognizance. Shakespeare in Renry VL makes York
say —
Then will I raise aloft the milk-white rose,
With whose sweet smell the air shall be perfumed.
Hen. F/., Pt. ii., Act i., sc. 2.
And in Richard III. Gloster exclaims —
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York.
Rich. III. J Act i., sc. 1.
The Yorkiflts wore a collar combining the white rQse
and the sun in its splendour. Examples of this decora-
tion are far less numerous than of the collar of S.S., but
one of much beauty and richness may be seen on the
ejffigy of Joan, Countess of Arundel, 1487, at Arundel ;
'^ Thomas, Lord de la Warr, temp, Henry YIII., left his mantel and surcoat of
the Order to make an altar cloth at Broadwater Church.
^2 An interesting article on the collar of S.S., by Mr. A. Hartshorne, will be
found in the "Archaeological Journal/' Vol. XXXIX., p. 376, with a plate of
illustrations of some of the best examples.
^ The collar was buckled at each end to a pendant called a toret. Lady Eleanor
Arundell, buried at Lewes, left by will, proved 1404, a golden collar with jewelled
toret : — " Item Jeo devise a ma fille de Boos, un ooler d'or, av un baleys en le
Toret, oeveques ma benison."

it is composed of little circular panels, bearing within them
a rose and a sun alternately, the roundels being linked
together by the oak leaf badge of the Arundel family,
thus combining the cognizances of sovereign and subject.
In conclusion, it must be observed that heraldry was
conspicuously displayed at the obsequies of kings,
nobles, and the upper classes of civilians. The various
accoutrements of a knight were borne with him to the
grave, and after his burial placed above his monument.
Sir David Owen, by his will dated 1529, directs " my
body to be brought with my helmet and sworde, and my
cote-armour, my standarde pendaunt and setton, a baner
of the Trynyte, one of our Lady, and one other of St.
George, borne after the order of a man of my degree,
and set up in the said Priory (of Easebourne) after the
observance done at my tombe," **Suss. Arch. Coll.,"
Vol. VII., p. 29.^ A full account of the heraldic
pageant at the interment of Sir Anthony Browne, in
1548, and whose monument at Battle has been referred
to in this paper, will be found in *'Suss. Arch. Coll.,"
Vol. VI., p. 54. In it the target, or emblazoned shield,
with the helmet, crest, and sword, were directed to be
offered in the church, and were doubtless afterwards
aflBxed to the tomb, examples of which custom may still
be seen wholly or in part in many of our ecclesiastical
edifices. A banner, I believe, hangs over the grave of
one of the Earls at Arundel, and there is a fine modern
series in the West chapel at Withyham. The funeral
helmet of William, Lord Abergavenny (1744), retains
its place over his arms and crest at East Grinstead, and
Horsfield mentions that the coronet of the Countess de
Priseche, who died in 1793, is suspended over her tomb
at Newtimber.
So slept the proud, and with them all

ON THE ORIGIN OF THE ARMS OF
SOME SUSSEX FAMILIES.
Second Series.
By W. smith ELLIS, Esq.
In Volume VI. of " S. A. 0." I wrote a paper with the
above title, illustrated by two plates of arms. This was
thirty- five years ago ! Meanwhile, the printed literature
of genealogy has marvellously increased. Nearly thirty
quarto volumes of heraldic visitations and parish regis-
ters have been published by the Harleian Society, whilst
many other visitations have otherwise been printed, as
well as parish registers and innumerable family histories
and genealogical memoirs. Archaaological Journals
almost for every county are full of contributions to
genealogy and heraldry, and periodicals devoted chiefly
to those sciences have extended to dozens of volumes,
viz.: — Nichols' "Topographer and Genealogist*' and
** Herald and Genealogist," the "Genealogist" edited
by Dr. Marshall and Mr. Selby, and Dr. Howard's
" Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica," now consist-
ing of several thick volumes of closely-printed matter.
In addition, genealogical research has been enormously
facilitated within the period mentioned. The national
records once scattered over London have long since been
gathered together under one roof, with great facilities of
inspection. The wills at Somerset House and in the
provincial registries have been thrown open to literary
inquirers, and considerable additions have been made to
the literary treasures of the British Museum, in the
shape of charters, volumes of pedigrees, and other
genealogical MSS.
But when we turn to the twin science of Heraldry, the
record is comparatively scanty. The treatises of Boutell,

Seton, Planch^, Montagu, and others are the only
additions of importance made in recent times to heraldic
literature. But it has been enriched by what is of
greater value, by many heraldic collections, distributed
over many periodical and other works, the most impor-
tant of which, undoubtedly, are the rolls of ancient arms
printed by Mr. Greenstreet, in the " Genealogist.'* It
seems strange that the fascinations of pedigree-hunting
should so greatly exceed the ** search for arms;" but
possibly the motive for the ardour of this kind of
research is to prove aflBliation on an ancient family that
had an ancient coat of arms; for how many ancient
recorded coats are there whose bearers have become ex-
tinct, or if not, are diflBcult to trace. The knightly fami-
lies of Box, and Boxall, as bearing arms registered in the
roll of Edward II., unquestionably were ancestors of the
numerous families existing of those names ; whilst other
families now living in opulence would be too delighted
to find they had an ancestor on that, or any early roll,
instead of being obliged to be content with a modern
grant. Yet, as investigation often finds a genuine pedi-
gree for those who never dreamt of such ancestral fame,
it not seldom happens, that, through a corruption or mis-
spelling of a name,^ families who never suspected their
ancestors ever bore coat armour, are found . to have
belonged to that comparatively limited class.^
The present writer, in Vol. XXIV. of '' S. A. C," p. 71,
treated of the ** Origin of some Sussex: Families," and in
Vol. XXX., p. 137, of " Early Sussex Armoury," in both
of which is given muqh heraldic information about Sussex

arms borne, and in others suggest the probable origin, as
a clue to further investigation.
This involves the general question of the different
origins of coats of arms ; and for reference the chief six
different sources of coat armour are here reproduced in
a note from " S. A. 0.," Vol. XXIV., p. 26.«
The second source includes such cases as the Baron de
Greystock's concession to his squire, Adam de Blencowe,
and the Lord Audley's to his four squires^ mentioned in
Mr. Lower's " Curiosities of Heraldry," and probably
to the Sussex families bearing fretty in their arms {vide
Plate, Vol. VI., " S. A. 0.," p. 77), by the Echinghams.
The fifth source may be illustrated by the fact that
Patrick, Earl of March, sealed with a lion rampant, also
with a lion rampant with a bordure of roses, which
Nisbet says (II., 3) was a badge of his comital office
(Drummond's "British Families"). [Other instances
are given in '* Herald and Genealogist," V., 56.]
As to the sixth source, Madox, in his " Formulare
Anglicanum" (p. 124), quotes a passage from an ancient
treatise on armoury (Cott. MSS., Nero, C. III.), wherein
the author, speaking of the arms of Montacute, Earl of
Salisbury, says, " Qusd quidem arma portavit ratione cer^
tarum terrarum ad baroniam de Montacuto pertinentium.*^
But the question we have to consider is, Whence were
acquired the numerous coats of arms which do not
appear to have been granted, were not taken from any
known armigerous ancestor, do not appear on any seal
or roll of arms, or ancient stained-glass window in
church or hall, nor otherwise were obtained from the six
sources named ?*
' 1. Immemorial usage and inheritanoe.
2. Grant or ooncession from the Sovereign or a herald.
8. Concession or alienation, by deed or will, of a private person's arms wholly
or partially to another.
4. Marriage of an heiress or elder oo-heiress.
6. Tenore of office, royal, baronial, knightly, or eoolesiastical.
6. Purchase or acquisition of a dignity, barony, or manor to which armorial
bearings were appurtenant, or which were borne by the owner.
* Numberless seals and deeds, and unknown coats in stained glass in manorial
halls and church windows, with unnamed coats in Marshalled Quarterings in the
Visitations and otherwise, constitute clear evidence that the minor gentry, as lords
of manors and persons of a certain social position, as Mayors of towns, and such
functionaries as Commissioners of Sewers, etc., all as a custom used coat armour
20 ON THE ORIGIN OF THE ARMS OF
The earliest periods of heraldry down to the time of
Richard II., were periods when the strictest observance
of recognized laws was enjoined and practised. The
rolls of arms of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
amply testify to the existence of strict rules in the
formation of coats of arms. Colour was not placed on
colour, nor metal on metal. " Differencing," was made
according to prescribed methods. The same symmetry
and harmony were observed in the composition of a new
coat as in the equally infinite combinations made in the
tracery of a church window. The same severe taste
prevailed in Heraldry as in Architecture. A code of .
laws, unwritten, or not come down to us, (except
partially in the "Boke.of St. Albans," written temp.
Richard III., which lays down that any coat of arms is
legitimate if not home by any other) ^ must have long,
regulated the practice of the art amongst its professors,
the Heralds. These, we have evidence, exercised their
functions as early as Edward III., if not earlier; and,
though few of their grants remain, we may fairly
presume that they controlled and regulated the use of
coat armour, recorded existing bearings, were the
authority for the issue of new ones, and denounced
usurpations and irregularities. In proof of this the
well-known roll of Edward II., may be cited. This
contains 1,100 coats of knights all over England; yet
in it there are not half-a-dozen repetitions. The con-
troversies of the times, as the Scrope and Grosvenor
contest, show that identity of arms was looked upon as a
usurpation by one party or the other ; and the roll of the
siege of Carlaverock mentions the identity of the bearings
of Brian Fitz Alan, and Hugh Pointz, '' at which many
500 years ago ; indeed, it was a necessity for them, as in lieu of their sign-manual
to a deed, a seal with some recognized and individual device was employed to
antbeuticate a charter or other solemn document. At early periods the above-
mentioned classes composed a coat, for personal and family use, of heraldic
elements, belonging to allied families, or by permission of such as were not allied,
as feudal lords. Afterwards the practice of impalement and quartering arose,
which limited the occasion for forming new coats, and such impaled coats were
often used by persons who inherited them with property, and utilized by them as
their own ; for, temj). Henry III., as appears from Bracton, it was sufficient if the
grantor before witnesses sealed the deed, or otherwise recognized the seal as his,
though it were in reality another's.

marvelled."* We thus see that during the periods in
question, the reigns of Edward III., and Eichard II., at
least, the usurpation of armorial bearings was punish-
able, and therefore a rare and exceptional act ; and as
Dugdale says (" Usage of Arras *') : —
Before the time of Henry the Sixth, men were much more wary and
discreet in bearing of their marks, and in foreseeing that no intruders
should enter into their families, nor that any should lay away or remove
their differings without special warrant or license of those that might be
thereby prejudiced.
This statement implies that subsequently a laxity
arose in the practice of using coat armour, and as Mr.
Lower says (" Curiosities of Heraldry," p. 42) : —
At the commencement of the 15th century considerable confusion
seems to have arisen from upstarts having assumed the arms of ancient
families. ... So great had this abuse become that in the year 1419, it was
deemed necessary to issue a royal mandate to the Sheriff of every county
"to summon all persons bearing arms to prove their right to them."^
This appropriation of the arms of ancient families
evideijtly went on through the whole of the fifteenth
century, down to the time when the visitations com-
menced under Henry VIII., at which time, and after-
wards, the visiting heralds required proof from seals or
other tokens of ancient usage, and if it were not forth-
coming wrote in their books " Arma non probat "
'^Eespited for further proof"; and subsequently lists
of disclaimers of arms were publicly posted of those who
presumed to use coat armour on insufficient grounds.
We can thus account for hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of cases in English armoury, where the source and origin
was not according to heraldic laws and customs, and was
destitute of authority.^
* See other instances in " Herald and Genealogist,*' (V., 53), and " Genealogist "
for Oct., 1887, and Jan., 1888.
> This seems to be the writ of Henry V. (1417), mentioned in Sir H. Nicolas*
*< Aginconrt," '' forbidding all manner of persons thenceforth to bear any arms
not derived from their ancestors, without license from himself, or the officers of
arms, excepting snch as had borne arms at Aginconrt."
7 It cannot be supposed that a yeoman rising into the rank of gentry and
• desiroQS of having a coat of arms, was acquainted with heraldry, or had access to
any records of an armorial character. We must, therefore, infer that he applied
to some known herald, before the College of Heralds was incorporated, under
Richard 111., who granted him a coat, with some modifications, borne by the same
or a resembling name, in some distant comity, and that the records of snch grants
have perished.
22 ON THE ORIGIN OF THE ABMS OP
AsHBURNHAM. — In addition to what has been said of
this family in Vol. VI., p. 84, it may be added that
Mr. Drummond thinks Sir Eichard Ashburnham, who
married a daughter of Sir Richard Peverell, took the fess,
and the colours he bore, from the coat of Peverell ; and
that in reference to the myth that Bertram de Ashburn-
ham was Constable of Dover Castle, in the reign of King
Harold, Bertram de Grioll (a descendant of the Domesday
owner, Robert de Cruel) y was Constable of Dover Castle,
37 Hen. III. (Oal. Rot. Pat.).»
Alohoene. — In Berry (p. 96) it is stated that the
manor of Alchorne lieth in Rotherfield, and in the
church is the ancient coat of Alchorne. Their coat, a
chief indented, was probably taken from that of the
Counts of Moreton, lords of Pevensey Rape; and perhaps
the stag's head caboshed in base, indicated that one of
the family was a forester in Lancaster Great Park.
Ballaed, of Wadhurst. — The pedigree in Berry goes
back to Sir Geo. Ballard, of Horton, near Canterbury,
servant to Richard II. The arms are a griffin segreant
ermine. It is probable that this griffin had a cognate
origin with the same bearing of the Kentish families of
Nethersole, Colkin, Boys, Finch, and Brent.®
Baeton, of Carter's Corner.— See " S. A. C," XXV.,
p. 92.
Blakee, of Portslade. — There was a Yorkshire family
of the name of Blacker, or Blaker. Thomas Blaker
occurs 1466 (** Yorks. Arch. Journal," Vol. VI., p. 444.)
Battesfoed, of Battesford, in Wartling.^® — " S. A. C,"
Vol. XXX., p. 142, this family is noticed, and their arms
(argent 3 crescents sable, a canton gules), are stated to

^ The griflBn seems to be taken originally from the Devon family of Eivers, by
whom it was borne. (See "Antiq. of Heraldry," p. 181.) Fulke de Breaut6
from Breaut^, in the Canton of Goderville, arrondissement of Havre, who had a
brother, Sir Thomas de Breaut6, married Margery, widow of Baldwin de Beviers
(Stapleton). In the Pari. Boll of Arms, t. Edward 11., Sir Bobert de Breut6 bears
ffules a griffin d* argent. There is a pedigree of Brent, having a local origin, in
•* Collinson's History of Somersetshire," who bore a griffin, a circumstance which
is remarkable, and needs explanation.
1" The earliest mention of this family is in the pedigree of Sidney (" Berry's
Suss. Gen.," p. 297), where John Sidney, t, Edward II., mar. Ellen, d. of Bobert
Battesford, of Battesford, in Wartling.

have been in two churches in Kent, and a pedigree is
given in which it is shown that Sir Wm. Bchingham
married a co-heiress of the family, which is commemo-
rated in Echingham Church, by their coat quartering
Pepplesham. The following pedigree (partly from
"S, A. C," XX., 23) will show the source of the
arms : —

The following pedigree from the " Vis. of Oxon."
(Harleian Society, Vol. V., p. 202), will show the wide
prevalence of the coat of 3 crescents, its adoption by
different families, and its derivation from a common
source : —

The then Baron WahuU, 1166 (Liber Niger), returned
a list of the tenants holding under him. Amongst them
were the names of PatishuU and Butvilain. In the
Pari. Roll Sir Robert Botevilein, of Rutlandshire, bore
arg. S crescents gules ^ and Sir John Patteshulle the same
with B^'sable fess^ whilst Sir — . de WahuU (Beds.) bore
or 3 crescents gules. Other knightly families in this roll
bore crescents, as Rye, Wells, Wachesam, Fitz Simon,
Preville, Hotot, and Farnham. In Charles's Roll the
families of Longchamp, Saunzaver, Wither (Ryther),
^^ See proof of age of John, s. and h. of John de Insula, of Gatcombe, taken
1363. The heir was son of Joan, d. of John de Bohan (*• S. A. C," XII., p. 34).
^^ He is called Bnrford in most pedigrees s bnc in the pedigree of Covert John
Covert, of Chaldon, marries a daughter of Sir John Battesford, When we find,
" Vis. of Yorks," p. 358 (Harl. Soc), Bohun called " Bosyne," and Shovelstrode
'< Sholmsted," we need not wonder at the corruption of other named.
24 ON THE OBIGIN OP THE AEM8 OF
Glanville, Blare, Domare, all bore arms, of which the
basis was 3 crescents,^^
Cooke, of Rustington. — This family is connected
armorially and genealogically with the preceding. Ac-
cording to the pedigree of Bohun in Vol. XX., " S. A. C,"
p. 22, Agnes, daughter and co-heiress of Edmund Bohun,
descended from Franco de Bohun, married — . Cooke.
Berry's "Sussex Genealogies," p. 105, gives the pedigree
of Cooke, beginning with Henry Cooke, 1502, the arms
being gules 3 crescents arg. a canton ermine. According
to the pedigree in " Dallaway," II., 22, Thomas Cooke,
of Wickham, married Elinor Barford, daughter and
heiress of Sir John Barford, by Eva, daughter of Bohun.
He had a son, John Cooke, of Rustington, Sheriff of
Sussex, 1494, who married twice; but this is hardly
correct. This is the pedigree given in " Vis. of Yorks "
before mentioned : —
Sir John Lesly [De Lisle]
Thomas Rikkle ^ Eva=Johii Burforth [Battesford]
d. &h.=Gook6 de Bnstington,
who had Bichard,
who had John.
We require further and more accurate information to
reconcile these discrepancies. In '* S. A. C," Vol. XXX.,
13 In a paper in *• The Genealogist " (VII., 73), entitled, *' Pedigrees of Deriva- .
tive Goats of Arms" I have taken the case of the "Red Lion of Powis," and
shown how that distinguished heraldic charge was adopted by several families
descended from the original bearer ; and not only so, bat by persons who had no
right to it. Thus we are told it was borne by a brunch of the Charltons, of Apley,
not descended from the Lords of Powys ; and that even the Charltons, of Northumber-
land, though a totally distinct race, chose to assume the Powis lion. And in " The
Topographer and Genealogist'* (I., 354) it is shown how three families — Fitz-
herbert, Beresford, and Stafford — appropriated the arms of their namesakes.
Blanchard, of Normandy, bore three crescents. The name occurs in Domesday
Book. Robert Blanchard, monk of Bee, who had accompanied the Conqueror, and
was nominated first abbot of Battle, was drowned while recrossing the Channel .
The Blanchards, had lands in Yorks., temp. Edward III. (" York. Arch. Journal,"
Vol. IV., p. 403 note. Dallison, who bore three crescents and a canton ermine,
married an heiress of Blanchard. The family of Ryther, appear to have got their
3 crescents from Blanchard, and Bapthorp, and Waterton, who bore crescents, from
Ryther. The. number of families who bore crescents, evidently from a common
source, the Barons WahuU, verifies Mr. Lower's remark (" Curiosities of Heraldry,'*
p. 312) : — " I doubt not that, by carrying out a large series of investigations, the
majority of our armorial bearings might be traced to a comparatively small number
of ancient baronial coats." And I have illustrated this in my " Antiquities of
Heraldry,'* where I have given several genealogical tables, tracing arms borne by
different allied families up to one source.

p. 145, we have seen the source whence Stopham and
others, got their coat of 3 crescents, was from De Lisle,
and De Lisle got it from the baronial family of Wahull,^*
as the seals of the latter testify (Howard's " Miscellanea,'*

sister and co-heir of John Baron de WahuU {Ibid.^ p. 70),

Addit, MS. Brit, Mus., 16,279; branches settled in

bore gules a dross patonce between 4 swans arg., accord-
ing to the pedigree of Hulse (" Vis. of Cheshire," 1580,
Vol. XVIIL of Harleian Society), who matched with the
co-heiress circa 1500.
Dallingeidgb and Db la Lyndb. — The following in-
formation is additional, and corrective of the statement
of the locality of the former in " S. A. C," Vol. VI.,
p. 83 :—
John de Dalyngegregg occurs in the Subsidy Roll for 1 Edw. III.
as taxpayer in the vill of Hothlegh. In the roll of 6 Edw. III., in the
Hundred of Hartfield and yill of Folkenhurst (ubi ?) he is rated at 10s.,
which is high, and in the yill **de la Parrocke,** in the same hundred, Wm.
de Dalyngregg is rated at 2s., and in the roll of 24 Edw. I., Matilda de
Daelyngregg is rated for Ryston in the hundred of Foxearle. Dalling must
have been the name of some Saxon proprietor ; we meet with it in Dalling-
ton in East Sussex, and in the vill of West Chiltington, Edward Dallyng-
fold is rated 6 Edw. III. There is a Dalling in Norfolk. In the early
Subsidy Rolls (24 Edw. I., and 1 & 6 Edw. III.), several names have
the affix **rigg" or " ridge,'* chiefly in the forest district of Ashdown, viz.,
Gilderigg; Herterugg ; Lynderegg; Langeregg ; Pykerigg (Pickeridge,
a farm hodie in West Hoathly) ; Northerugg ; Thornerugg ; Robert de
Hawkingrngge 12s. lOd. in Horsted Keynes, and 9s. 2d. in Hellingly ;
Walter de Brentregge, Crawley (Brantridge in Tilgate Forest), Hughde
Fleterugg, Barcombe ; Horsted Keynes, John de Tegherngge (Tickeridge,

Sir Walter, of Lesceby, co. Line, was son of Sir John De la liynde,
who married Joanna, daughter and co-heir of Hugh de Neville (" Holies'

Eagles, of Uckfield and Barcombe, — See " S, A. C.,**

Fuller, of East Sussex. — This prolific family, met
with at Salehurst as early as temp. Edward IV., evidently
took the arms they bear, argent 3 bars and a canton gules,
from the alliance of John Fuller, temp. Eliz., with
Dorothy, daughter of Nicholas Apsley, of Pulborough,
an ancient family, who bore the same arms and tinctures,
except ermine, on their canton. But it does not appear
that all the Fullers who bear this coat were descended
from that match.' Their case is one, therefore, of col-
lateral adoption.
GoEiNG. — The arms of Goring are obviously allusive,
and, therefore, not derivative. I append some observa-
tions on the origin of this family taken from the " Parks
and Forests of Sussex," p. 220 : —
As Dallaway, Horsfield, and Lower, hare all stated that Goring was
owned by a fapaily who took their name from it, whose heiress married
Tregoz, and of whom another branch originated the families of the name,
owners of Barton and Wiston, it is well to examine this statement. We
hare families in Sussex Aamed after the manors they owned, as Ashbnm-
ham, Poynings, Bolney and others, who may be traced from father to
son from very early periods uninterruptedly. But that was by no means
the case with Goring (? of Goring). Upon this point we will see what
is said by the most recent inquirers, Messrs. Elwes and Robinson, in their-
" Castles and Mansions of West Sussex." It appears that there were
three, if not four, distinct manors, all called ** Garinges," in Domesday
Book, held of Earl Roger. Hugh le Bigot held six knight's fees, temp.
Hen. III., of Roger de Montalt, who appears to have been succeeded by
Henry de Tregoz, to whom license of free warren in his manor of Goring
was granted ].257 ; and Goring belonged to this family to the time of Hen.

v., when it passed to the next-of-kin, Sir Thomas Lewknor. The Lewknors
retained possession till the middle of the sixteenth century, when
the manor passed by purchase to Sir Wm. Goring, of Burton. Although
the Gorings (in our opinion), became then the lords of the manor for
the first time, it is not intended to imply that members of that family
had not been tenants in the place at an earlier date, but not of the manor.
[Territorial or local names were often taken without any proprietary
'interest whatever in the place. And the canting coat of the Gorings is
a presumption that, whenever or by whom assumed, they had no ances-
tral arms, but rose into importance like the Culpeppers and the Dalyng-
ridges.J
In order to test the statements as to the origin of the Goring family,
I have made some special researches. John de Goring is said to have
lived 16 Edw. II. (Patent Rolls), and to be the son of John de Goring,
lord of Goring. According to the Calendar of Patent Rolls from the
time of King John, the only two entries of the name and place are
these :— P. 313, 7 Edw. IV., No. 15 : ** Pro Cantaria Scti Georgii infra
ecclesiam Cathedr. Cicestr. fund, per Johm Goring et al." P. 179, 39
Edw. III., memb. 29 : **Rex concessit Rico Comiti Arundell omnia
bona rectoris de Gorringe qui ad sectam ejusdem Comitis utlagat' fuit.'*
As to the authority for the Gorings of Lancing , charters are cited in the
Burr. MSS., but whether public or private is not stated. In the Sub-
sidy Roll for 1 Edw. III. no Goring is mentioned under Lancing ; but
Ralph Goring occurs under the vill of Selsey, he being the only Goring.
Under the vills of Kyngston tind Preston, Hen. Tregoz is the chief tax-
payer, being rated at 17s. 2d. ; whilst under " Garing and Ferryng " the
same Henry Tregoz is taxed at 70s. 6d., and Thomas Tregoz 16s. 9d.
In the roll of 24 Edw. I., the only Gorings met with are John Goring, a
burgess of New Shoreham, taxed at 4s., and John Goring, for Ifield,
taxed at 9s. 2d. Besides these, in 1309, John Goring occurs in the
Parliamentary Writs as manncaptor or surety of Henry de Tregoz,
Knight of the Shire for Sussex. It is thus quite clear negatively that
the Gorings had no proprietary interest in the manor, or even parish, of
Goring, whilst the Tregoz family had, and that almost exclusively. In
Nichols' ** Topographer and Genealogist " is a very full pedigree of the
Tregoze family. It is there stated (II., 127) that John Tregoze was seated
in Sussex as early as 14 Hen. II., and had two sons, Henry and Thomas.
The former, his heir, had lands in Goring 1202, as appears by the Rot.
Oblat. Again, we find, 1202 and 1219, he had interests in Goring.
Sir Henry Tregoze, his heir, had a grant of free warren, 1256, in
Goring, etc., and was succeeded by his brother John (who Sir Wm.
Burrell calls John dominus de Goring, which seems to h«ve been trans-
muted to "John Goring dominus de Goring**). He was father of Sir
Henry, evidently the Henry of the Subsidy Rolls.
HoLMDEN. — A pedigree of this family appears in the
"Visitation of Surrey," 1623 (Harl. MSS., 1046).

HoNTWOOD, of Horsham. — According to the pedigree
in Berry's ** Sussex Genealogies," p. 37, Richard Hony-
wood, " esquire," ^^ at the head of it, is called without any
evidence, son of Robert Honywood, Esq., of Charing, in
Kent. Now it so happens that there is on record and in
print, a family document of remarkable fulness, and
almost unique, relative to the alleged parents of " Richard
Honywood, Esq.,'' of Horsham. This is contained in
articles entitled " Honywood Evidences," in Volumes I.,
and II., of Nichols' " Topographer and Genealogist,"
In Vol. I., p. 399, is given the "posterity of Mary
Honywood (Atwaters), at her death in 1620." By this
account it appears she had issue by her husband,
Robert Honywood, sixteen children, who are all named,
and there is no Richard amongst them. Of course
the Horsham Honywoods were descended from some
other than their alleged parents, bilt they could not be
entitled to bear the arras engraven in " Berry," for they
were granted to Robert Honywood, who married
Mary Waters, 10th November, 1576, and to Thomas
Honywood, of Sene, M.P. for Hythe, 1671, who left an
only daughter, who died s.p. There were other Hony-
woods from whom they might have been descended,
(See " Genealogist," January, 1887.)
Hampton. — A pedigree of " Hampton of Surrey and
Sussex," by the present writer, appeared in Nichols'
"Collectanea" (VI., 295), from papers in the possession
of their descendants. Charles Hampton, D.D., was
Rector of Worth and Blechingley ; his son, Wm. Hamp-
1' I have been favoured by B. G. Rice, Esq., of Croydon and the Middle Temple,
with extracts from the register of Horsham in reference to this family, which are
fully given in the " Genealogist," Vol. IV., p. 23, New Series. It will be seen by
these that Richard Honey wood is styled neither ** esquire,'* nor " gent.," nor ** Mr.,'*
which if he held such a rank he would be sure to have been.

His only daughter and heiress. Charity, married Richard
Weekes, of Hurstpierpoint, surgeon, whose grandson,
Richard Weekes, of Hampton Lodge, Hurstpierpoint,
possessed family estates at Wittersham, now owned by
his grandson, Philip Hampton Carlile- Weekes. The
arms. Chiles afess chequy arg. and sa. within a hordure or.,
with a demi eagle gules, winged or., for crest, were granted
to Wm. Hampton, Rector of Blechingley, 1662 ; in the
" Visitation of Surrey," for that year, a pedigree of five
descents appears, beginning with Thomas Hampton, of
Kingston-on-Thames.^®
Sir Wm. Hampton, Lord Mayor of London, 1472, was
son of John Hampton, of Michelhampton, co. Q-loucester-
shire. He and Bernard Hampton, Clerk of the Council to
Bdw. VI., bore a fess chequy within a bordure, quarter-
ing mascally (Ped. in Add. MSS-, Brit. Mus., 5,530).
1314-18, John de Hampton was Sheriff of Gloucester-
shire.
Hurst. — The Hursts are among the oldest landowners
in Horsham. In the parish church is a stone inscribed
to the memory of Robert Hurst, of Hurst Hill, who died
in 1483; Nicholas, his son, died 1533, and Richard, son
of Nicholas, 1592. Robert Hurst lived at the Moated
House, near the foot of Hurst Hill, now an unimportant
farm, but at one time a house of considerable size. Many
members of the Hurst family have represented the
borough of Horsham in Parliament, (Miss Hurst*s
** Antiquities of Horsham"). Richard Hurst married
Joan, daughter and co -heiress of Simon Peplesham ; his
son Richard married Margaret St. Cleere (from which
match, probably, the Hursts got the arms of a blazing
sun), who had two daughters and co-heiresses, Margery,
18 On a stone in the ohanoel of Kingston Ghuroh is a memorial to the memory
of Wm. Hampton, Fellow and Scholar of Eton College, who died 1468 (Manning
and Bray's " Snrrey," I., 378). A Christopher Hampton, of this family, was
Arohbishop of Armagh, 1613, whose portrait was possessed by the late N. Borrer,
Esq., of Pakyns Manor.

MiOHBLBOUBNE. — Or acTOss between four eagles displayed
sa. was granted by Cooke, Clarencieux, to John Michel-
bourne, of Westmeston, 1st Nov., 1571.^* Edward
Michelborne, his fourth son, married Jane Farnfould, of
Steyniug, who died 16 EHz. Presumably he got the estate
jure uxorisy and having then no arms of his own, put up
his wife's on the porch, at Awoods Place, in Clayton. His
son and heir was Sir Edward Michelborne, who was aged
25 at the death of his mother, and he himself died 7 Jas,
I., and was buried at Hackney. His son and heir,
Edward, was aged 21 at his father's death, and is said
to have died s.p. The place whence apparently the
family derived their name, was the vill of " Mitchburn,*'
near West Chiltington, which is noticed in the Subsidy
Roll of 1296. Eobert de Michelburn is mentioned in
this Subsidy as assessed at 4s. lid. for the vill of
Chiltington. There is an early will of a " Melchborn "
at Lambeth (See " Calendar of Wills " there, in Oenea-
logist, April, 1882).

XXXVI., p. 248).
PoTNiNGS. — The arms of this family (barry of six and
a bend), being identical with those of the baronial family
of Grey, except in tinctures, it is difficult to resist the
belief that they had a cognate origin. According to the
elaborate pedigree in " S. A. C," Vol. XV., p. 14, there
were three matches of Poynings with Grey, in the four-
teenth century. But these matches would be too late to
account for the arms of Poynings, as two members of the
family. Sir Michael and Sir Thomas, bore the coat temp.
Edw. II., according to the Pari. Roll {'' S. A.C.," XXX.,
137), though there might have been and probably was
19 Berry says the original grant adds 5 wolves or. on the cross, bnt except in a
very few cases the family do not appear to have borne them. The late Mr. Gonrt-
hope, Somerset Herald, drew np a very copions pedigree of this family. It does
not appear why the heralds granted the cross and eagles, except perhaps the arms
are founded on the exactly similar coat of Fenner, of Fenn Place, in Worth, from
which family the Michelboumes might be descended.

an earlier connection of some kind that gave rise to the
adoption of the Grey coat with different colours. In
the Subsidy EoU of 1296 (" S. A. 0.," Vol. II., p.
801), under the heading- of " Portslade and Atling-
worth," Hawisia de Q-reby [? Groby] paid the large
sum of 54s., whilst Michael de Ponyng paid 70s.
(" S. A. 0.," Vol. II., p. 292). Perhaps the property of
the former descended to the latter, along with her coat
of arms- In Vol. VIIL, p. 268, of " S. A. C," I have
suggested that the knightly effigy in Ifield Church,
belonged to a Poynings, as the family had property in
that parish ; atfd I noticed that in the " Vis. of Sussex,"
1634, there were two coats recorded as being in Horsham
Church that evidently belonged to Poynings, viz., barry of
six or. and vert, a bend gules ; and barry of six argent and
gules, a bend sable within a bordure. There is another
coat of Poynings, hitherto unnoticed. In '* S. A. C,"
Vol. X., p. 164, in the account of Slaugham, amongst the
arms sculptured in the mansion there is Covert impaling
Barry on a bend, 5 annulets or plates, evidently a coat
of Poynings, and indicating the acquisition of some pro-
perty of the Coverts by the match.
Peokham, of West Sussex, whose arms are Ermine a
chief quarterly or. gules. Berry says they claim to be a
branch of the Peckhams of Yalding, in Kent. In Vol.
III. of " ArchaBologia Cantiana," p. 143, are engraven
from a seal ermine a chief quarterly^ the arms of James de
Peckham, 49 Edw. III. According to- the Daring Roll
of Arms, John de Pecham bore Azure 6 annulets or.
Mr. Planch^ (" Corner of Kent*') mentions the arms of
St. Nicholas, ermine a chief quarterly or. and gules, and
says the origin of the three families, St. Nicholas, Peck-
ham, and Parrock, is generally considered to have been a
common one.
Pelham.^ — Collins in his " Peerage of England " (4th
20 Vide " Genealogiat,'* IV., 213-225. In the early volumes of Dr. MarehairB
" Genealogist " there appeared some articles bj Mr. Walter Bye, on the Norfolk
Families of Howard, Walpole, Woodhouse, Townsend, and Clere, examining the
statements of the early origin of those families by peerage writers and others,
which he fonnd were fiotitions, and not borne out by authentic records. This
induced the present writer to look into Collins' Peerage, to see what was said about

ed., 1768) under the head of " Pelham-Holles Duke of
Newcastle," says " the lordship of Pelham co. Herts is
recorded to be part of the possessions of Walter de Pel-
ham, in 21 Edw. I." Clutterbuck in his " History of
Hertfordshire " (4 vols, folio) gives an account of the
so-called " lordship of Pelham " (I. 443), by which it
appears that it was held in chief by the Bishop of London
by nine distinct feudal tenants. Clutterbuck does not
attempt to trace the holdings of these nine Domesday
tenants, his first notice being that temp. Henry ill. and
Edward I. Simon de Furneaux was lord of ** the Pel-
hams " (e.^., the three * existing parishes, Pelham-Fur-
neaux, Pelham Burnt or Arse, and Pelham Stocken),
and after him by inheritance the families of Lee and
Newport. According to the Lzber Niger (1166), Ralph
de Pelham, held a knight's fee in Herts of the Bishop.
11 John, Jordan de Pelham occurs in a Fine as holding
land in Pelham Arse, and in the Liberate Rolls (p. 224)
a Jordan de Pelham, miles, is mentioned.^^ Roger de
Peleham witnessed a charter of Robert Bishop of London,
1141-51.^^ Peter de Pelham was 2 Hen. III. Sheriff of
Cambridgeshire. Besides these, we find in the public
records, scattered notices of the name in Herts, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire, but none indicating ownership of
any considerable manor or estate for a succession of
generations. Nor does the name occur in any roll of
arms, nor is any coat attributed to it in the heraldic
dictionaries.
No further notices are met with till this : an Inquis.
p.m.^ of Walter, son of Wm. de Pelham, who died
21 Edward I., (1292), leaving Alice his widow, and
the Sussex family of Pelham, with the result stated in the text. It seems that
two or three centuries ago, where records were deficient, and facts were wanting,
rather than confess ignorance, and be silent, conjecture was resorted to, believed
in as equivalent to the truth, and imposed as an article of faith on inquirers.
Manj a peerage family still sails under false colours. In " Notea and Queries,"
1886, it is argued that the ennobled and illustrious familj of Cecil, could not have
been descended, as alleged in the Peerages, from the Welsh familj of Sitsylt, but
from the familj of Gecill, of Howdenshire, in Yorkshire.

William his son and heir, aged 9 years, as having lands in
Pelham-Fumeaux (not the "'said manor of Pelham "), as
well as the manors of Oottenham, co. Cambridge, and
Twisted, co. Essex, and no mention is made of any
second or youager son. Of course, a scion of this stock
may have come into Sussex, but Collins invents an
imaginary Walter de Pelham, alleged second son of
Walter, who died 1292, brings him into Sussex, calling
him ** brother'' of the young heir ast. 9, and says that he
was grantee of certain specified lands in Hailsham, and
that the deed was dated there 28 Edward I. We are
next told, " When this Walter died I don't find, but
Thomas de Pelham, his son and heir (?), was witness to
a dateless deed of lands in Waldron, and was living
2 Edward II., as appears by another deed." Thus
2d Edward II. (1309) Walter, who was under 9 years of
age in 1291, becomes in eighteen years father of an adult
son 1 Furthermore, " Another Thomas de Pelham (son
of the former, as Philipot, Somerset Herald, asserts) is
mentioned in a deed dated at Warbleton,^* 1346, and left
issue a son, John de Pelham (which may be true), which
John de Pelham was a person of great fame in the reign
of Edward III." Here we come to the first proved lineal
ancestor (and a distinguished one) of a long line of no
less distinguished descendants, the Pelhams of Sussex;
and henceforward Collins' account is interesting and
trustworthy, being based on historical and documentary
evidence.
But in accordance with the title of this Paper, we are
to inquire into the " origin of the arms " of Pelham, of
Sussex, viz., the three Pelicans, These date from the
time of Richard II., and are, or were, found in Waldron,
and Laughton Churches, and Robertsbridge Abbey,
(" S. A. C," III., 2 13, and IX., 353). We have seen there
a*e no arms recorded for the Pelhams of Herts, though
2* Thomas de Pelham, in the Subsidy Boll of 1292, is rated at 28. for property
in Warbleton, where the family for generations subsequently had lands j and a
Balph de Pelham, occurs in a Fine 10 Edward I., as owner of property in the same
parish. Thus we see from the Public Records, the family existed in Sussex before
the alleged migration of the imaginary second son of the Walter who died
21 Edward 1. 1 !

doubtless they bore coat armour, but not the three
pelicans. The first Sir John de Pelham, when he
became famous in chivalry and had to bear the insignia
of the rank of knighthood, was evidently unconscious or
oblivious of ancestral coat armour, and. followed the
fashion of the time in assuming a coat of arms derived
from some near relative or an allusive coat. It is true
the coat the family actually bore is of this character, but
it is evidently derivative. Collins says Sir John Pelham
(the first) *' had certain lands and houses in Winchelsea
in marriage with Joan, daughter of Vincent Finch," ^
and his widow remarried Benet Oely, evidently the
Benedict Oely who, 42-6 Edward III., was Mayor of
Winchelsea (Cooper). Collins' pedigree of the Finch
family, differs from that in Sir Wm. Burrell's Collections,
who had access to the deeds of the landowners of the
county, as appears thus under " Netherfield " : —

But this account may be wrong in assigning Joan, who
married Sir John Pelham to the first wife, instead of to
Joan the second wife. If by the latter, we have at once
what we want — a reason for Sir John Pelham bearing
the pelicans for arms.
SooTNEY.— In "S. A. C," Vol. XXX., p. 144, an
early coat of this family is engraved. Another coat
is to. be found in Harl. MSS., 2,044, fo. 1426., viz.,
a seal with the legend, " Si : Petri de Scoteni," being
25 A charter relative to the family of Finch, is in the British Mnsenm (Add. ch.
20, 195) of John Pnlham, Mayor of Winchelsea, a.d. 1385, witnessed by Henry
Oely and others. Members of the family of Pnlham, were owners of property in
Winchelsea, as early as 20 Edward I. (See Cooper's " History of Winchelsea," p. 49).
26 In the will of John, Earl of Oxford, 1358, " John Pelham," and others, he
appoints as his executors, so he was not then knighted, two years after the battle
of Poictiers (Nicolas' '* Test, Vet.," p. 62). In the will of Thomas, Earl of Oxford
(ibid.f p. 87, 1371), '* Sir John Pelham " and others are appointed executors. No
Pelham occurs in the will of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, who died 1399, nor
in that of his son, King Henry IV.

and was son of Thomas (who took the name of
Scotney, and died 30 Henry III.) who was son of
Berta, sister and coheir of Lambert de Scotney, who
was son of Hugh de Scotney .^^ In the "Genealogist"
for April, 1888, p. 94, is a pedigree, of four descents,
of the family of Scottegni of Lincoln, from the De
Banco Rolls, 8 Henry III., viz., Thomas (who sues
Jolland de Neville), son of William, son of Roger, son of
Fulke, living temp. Richard I. In a paper on Scotney
Castle in Lamberhurst, by Edward Hussey, Esq., in Vol.
XVII. of " ArchaBologia Cantiana," p. 38 he quotes the
author ef "Les Oonquerants d'Angleterre," who traces the
family of Scoteni or Escotingy to " Ecotigny, ancienne-
ment Escotigny-Humeau, commune de Q-randcourt prfes
Foucarmont, Seine infre." This baronial family possessed
a demesne called Scotney Court, in the parish of Lydd
(now the property of All Souls' College), and also lands
at Oockerington, in Lincolnshire.
Shelley, — The following extract from " Parks and
Forests of Sussex," p. 181, concerns the origin of this
family, and the coat armour they bore : —
The pedigree of Shelley, given by Cartwright in his "Bape of
Bramber/' in the early parts is purely mythical, and destitute of autho-
rity. The probability is that the park of Shelley, near Crawley, gave
name to the family, there being a John Shullygh, mentioned as early as
6 Edw. III. in a Subsidy Roll of that date, as taxpayer in the parish of
Ifield. And the fact of the name being rather common in the county in
the middle and lower ranks of life, is in favour of the Sussex origin of
the family. Though, if that were the case, there must have been an
early migration into Kent, as Hasted, in his history of that county, says
they are met with as early as temp. Edw. I., and Sir Thomas Shelley,
according to a Roll of Kentish arms (1317-27) published in " Notes and
Queries," May 1, 1875, bore a fess engrailed between 8 escallops, a
nearly identical coat with that borne ever since. But another branch of
the Kentish Shelleys, seems to have borne gulea three unicornis heads or.,
as quartered by May, who married the heiress. There is a pedigree of
Schellay, of Schellay, in Yorkshire, of several descents. Henry de
Shelley, circa 1230, gave lands to Roche Abbey. John, Earl of Warren,
gave to Sayer de Kendall, the marriage and wardship of John, son and
heir of John de Shelley, who held of him the manor of Shelley in
" " Notes aad Queries," 16 Oct., 1869, and " York Vol. of Archasol. laatitute,
1848,'' p. 216.

Chiviley (1344). John, son of Robert de Shelley, gave to John, Lord
of Shelley, nepoti suo, all the lands which he had in the town of Shelley

p. 22, 1884).
Tattesham. — A pedigree of this family, of West Peck-
ham, in Kent, of five generations, is in the " Vis, of Kent,"
1619 (Harl. MSS., 1648), who bore azure a cross gules
between 20 billets a/rg.^ five in each quarter. Branches
settled at Warbleton, and Clayton, in Sussex. Philipot
("Villare Cantianum," p. 210), says :— " Tutsham of
Tutsham, of West Farleigh, and Eastengrave of Easten-
grave, in Edenbridge, bear both alike." Add. MSS. Brit.
. Mus., 5481, fol. 36, gives a deed of Tottesham, dated
1342, the seal being a cross between 12 billets, within a
bordure. In the Pari. Roll of Arms, temp. Edw. II., Sir
Robert de Estangrave, bore azure billetee and a cross
argent; whilst in Charles's Roll, Joan d'Estengreve, bore
ermine a lion rampant gules.
Thomas, of East Dean.^® — A brief pedigree of this
family is given at p, 299 in Berry's " Sussex Q-enea*
logies." It begins with Wm. Thomas, " descended out
of Wales." His grandson was Sir Wm. Thomas, a
Bart., 1660, 'and he was buried at Folkington. Berry
says: — "A patent of the arms [or on a cross sable 5
crescents arg.^^ under the hand and seal of Sir Wm.
Segar, Garter, granted to Wm. Thomas, of Lewes, Esq.,
14th May, 1608." Vincent, in his " Ordinary of Arms,"
at the. Herald's College, says Ap Thomas married the
heiress of Sir John Elys, and thus acquired the coat.

John Fynehagh, and his uncle Simon Fynehagh, of What-

" Vis. of Sussex," 1662, beginning with Wm. Vinall, of
Kingston, near Lewes (descended from Vinehall of Vine-
hall), whose great-great-grandson, Wm. Vinall, ob. 1680,

A CALENDAE OF THE DEEDS AND OTHEK
DOCUMENTS IN THE POSSESSION OF THE
SUSSEX AECHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.^
By E. H. W. DUNKIN, Esq.
This Calendar is divided into the following sections : —
I. Sussex Deeds and Documents.
II. Schedules op Sussex Deeds and Abstracts of Title.
III. Deeds and Documents chiefly relating to London
AND Norwich.
The contents of each section are arranged chrono-
logically. The deeds are deposited in a press in the
Society's Library, and are plainly endorsed with refer-
ence-numbers corresponding to those in the Calendar,
so that any document required for the purpose of con-
sultation can be immediately identified. Application to
inspect should be made to the Hon. Curator, who will
be pleased to afford every facility for research.
The reader is requested to bear in mind that the old
spelling of the names of persons and places has been
retained in the Calendar; and that all places are in
Sussex, unless otherwise described, or too well-known
to need any description.

EECENT AECH^OLOGICAL DISCOVEEIES IN
THE EASTBOURNE DISTRICT.
By H. MIOHELL WHITLEY, P.G.S., Hon. Sec. Eoyal
Institution of Cornwall.
BBinsH Remains at Mill Gap, Eastbotjbne.
On July 5th, 1889, a message was sent me, that some
workmen in making excavations for the foundations of a
new house below the Mill Gap, Eastbourne, had un-
covered an old pond, in which they found an earthenware
pot, which fell to pieces on being dug out. I accordingly
proceeded at once to the spot in question, which is
situated on the southern slope of the promontory run-
ning out between " The Bourne " and the marshes,
once the old Haven of Hydney, about one hundred feet
above mean sea level, and which hill has been most
prolific in discoveries of ancient British and Saxon
remains.
The excavations had extended over a space of ground
nearly forty feet square, and in the trenches, cut for the
foundations within this area, there was laid bare a layer
of black unctuous peat covered with ordinary soil, which
latter varied in depth from one to two feet, with the
subsoil underneath.
This layer of peat was from six inches to two feet
thick, and sloped with the ground.
The fragments of the urn had been mostly carted
away, but a small portion remained in situ^ which I
excavated and have preserved. It was in the peat, and
was crushed open by the superincumbent weight; the
pottery was rude and without ornamentation, and
corresponded in character with that of a cinerary urn
which I discovered four years ago, about 150 yards to the
112 BEOENT ABOHJBOLOGIOAL DISOOVEBIES
north of this spot on the same hillside, and which is
described in the " Transactions of the Eastbourne
Natural History Society " for 1886.
In the north-eastern corner of the excavations, and in
the peat, which here attained a thickness of about two
feet, were layers of oyster, mussel, limpet, and cockle
shells, the principal one being from three inches to six
inches thick, and mixed with these were fr^igments of
pottery, charcoal, and flints, some of the latter having
evidently been exposed to the action of fire, and,
perhaps, may have been used as " pot-boilers/' But by
far the most interesting and valuable find was a beautiful
little flat celt of bronze, 3f inches long and f of an inch
wide, at the cutting edge. This was given me by
Josiah Brown, Esq., for whom the house is being built.
There is no doubt that this is a British refuse pit of a
very early date, the hollow in the chalk being used as a
receptacle for broken earthenware and rubbish, and the
accumulation gradually forming the peaty deposit men-
tioned, which in the course of centuries became covered
over with ordinary soil. It adds another instance to the
evidences of ancient British, and Saxon occupation of this
hillside, so well situated with respect to the secure haven
beneath. I am indebted to Mr. Herbert Spurrell for
the information that in the three-cornered space opposite
the entrance to the Eastbourne Waterworks large
numbers of primitive interments were found in carting
away the surface soil, mostly consisting of fragments of
urns, sunk in small pits excavated in the soil and chalk,
and many of these small pits I have noticed in the
southern slope of this hill where laid bare in the construc-
tion of new roads, a few calcined flints and fragments of
rude pottery being generally all that is found ; one
fragment of the latter I have lately dug up, being of very
early date, a portion of a large urn, black in colour, the
rim of which was rudely ornamented with indentations.
Saxon Oembtebt in the Mill Field, Eastbouene.
A little further west along the same ridge, where The
Grange now stands, a large number of interments of
IN THE BASTBOUBNB DISTRICT. 113
Saxon date were discovered in 1877, and described by
Mr. Herbert Spurrell, in the " Transactions of the East-
bourne Natural Tlistory Society " for 1882. The graves
were spaced with the utmost regularity, and knives,
spear-heads, umbos of shields, glass tumblers, a wooden
drinking bucket about six inches high, bound with
silvered bronze, an armlet, stirrups, and swords were
found, one of the latter at the Manor Hall Museum
having the upper portion of the wooden scabbard bound
with a gilt bronze rim, bearing a triangle and interlaced
pattern.
I was also informed that when the road to Willingdon,
a little further west, was cut down many years ago, large
numbers of skeletons with weapons were found, the
remains being buried in a pit near the site ; but I have
been unable to recover its position, and from the spread
of building there is little chance of doing so now.
Roman Interments at Birling,
In the Southdowns, about three miles westward of
Eastbourne, and in the valley running from East Dean
to Birling Q-ap, stands Birling Farm House.
About a couple of years ago, in extending the chalk-
pit there, which is situated on the Downs, on the western
side of the farm-yard, and close above the roadway, about
a half-dozen interments were laid bare.
I was not informed of the discovery in time to be
present, so as to make a personal examination, and to
preserve any relics that might be discovered ; but hear-
ing lately that four armlets had been then found, I
arranged for a thorough investigation of the spot, under
my immediate supervision, and with the sanction of Mr.
Carew Davies Gilbert, the Lord of the Manor, who also
undertook the expense of the excavations.
I accordingly had trenches driven in all directions
from the chalk-pit, and committed the charge of the
work to a trustworthy foreman, with instructions to the
effect that, if any signs of an interment were found, the
trenching was to be at once stopped, and the excavation
filled up again until I was able to be present.
XXXVII. Q
114 BEOENT ABOHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVEBIES
As I anticipated, another grave was discovered, and it
was opened in my presence on August 14tb.
I found it contained a perfect-skeleton, which was well
preserved, and was that of a man past middle life, the
teeth perfect, but much worn.
It was buried at a depth of four feet below the soil of
the Downs, the head being towards the south-east, and the
feet. towards the north-west.
The grave was excavated in the chalk, and the skeleton
— which measured 5ft. 9in. in height — was placed on its
back, the head inclining on the right shoulder, the right
arm drawn up and resting across the breast, whilst the
left lay extended by the side.
I carefully cleared the surrounding earth, and ex-
amined each handful, so that nothing of interest should
be overlooked, but the result was somewhat disappoint-
ing.
The body had evidently been buried in a wooden
coffin, all traces of which had disappeared, with the ex-
ception of three long iron nails, such as have been before
found in Roman graves, which were no doubt coffin nails.
At the feet were about two dozen small iron shoe nails.
Nothing else was found.
After a careful scrutiny the grave was filled in, and
the turf replaced on the surface.
In the meantime I had succeeded in tracing the arm-
lets, before referred to, and securing them for deposit in
the Manor Hall Museum, Eastbourne.
They were of bronze, and were found in one of the
graves previously opened, and on the wrist of the
skeleton it contained.
The first and largest of these is formed by two thick
wires twisted together, the extremities being furnished
with hooks, by which it was fastened on the arm ; it was
much worn at the sides, probably by friction against
other arnjlefcs.
The second was solid, with no means of securing the
open ends, which were beaten flat, and ornamented with
punched circles and double cross lines of a rather unusual
and almost Saxon type.
IN THE EASTBOURNE DISTBIOT. 115
The third was jnore massive at the back, and had been
fastened by a knop passing into a ring now lost ; whilst
the fourth was a simple stout wire which had evidently
originally been soldered into a hoop. These two last
closely resemble a couple of bracelets of Roman work-
manship found at Colchester, and now in the British
Museum.
These armlets were submitted to A. W. Franks, Esq.,
F.S.A., and he confirms my opinion that they are of
Eoman date. In addition to these armlets, a plain flat
bronze rfbg was found, and at the same spot, in one of
the graves, the fragments of an urn. These fragments I
have not seen, but I am indebted to the Rev. W.
Parrington, the Vicar of Bast Dean, for a sketch of the
urn restored. It is distinctly of Roman date, and
ornamented with a waved band around the centre, and
circles.
These facts show that these are Roman interments,
and to the Roman Cemetery at Green Street, near Sea-
ford, must now be added that of Birling.
I am not aware that any traces of Roman occupation
have previously been noted at this spot, although a
Roman urn was found some years ago at the mouth of
the Cuckmere river, about three miles west ; but this
discovery suggests the desirability of making a careful
examination of the ground in the valley close adjoining ;
and this I hope to be able to carry out at some future,
and not distant time.
NOTES ON THE EIDGE FAMILY,
BEING SOME EXTEACTS FROM ^^A BOOK OF
MEMORANDOMS KEPT BY WILLIAM EIDGE."
1715-1785.
Bt JOHN SAWYEE.
William Ridge, the writer of the entries in the memo-
randum book to which attention is invited in the follow-
ing pages, was a member of a very old Sussex family*
connected with Lewes, but now extinct. Mr. James
Berry Morris, of Eastbourne (to whom I am indebted for
permission to publish the extracts here given), informs
me that " the Ridges attended the Bull Meeting House,
at Lewes, and when the diary was written were Presby-
terians, but at the close of the last century became
Unitarians." The Dr. Doddridge mentioned in the
memorandum-book was the celebrated author of "The
Rise and Progress."
The memorandum-book, a small, brown-paper covered
one, very roughly made, has had several leaves cut out of
it. In the remaining pages are some curious items that
I am not without hope may prove of interest to some
members, at least, of the Sussex Archaeological Society.
The entries made by William Ridge are not in chrono-
logical order, nor are they confined to any particular
class of event. The personal element does not sufficiently
enter into it to entitle it to rank as a diary. The writer ,
simply recorded, either in the briefest fashion or more in
detail, as the case might be, anything he considered
worthy of notice, or that he particularly wished to
remember. It is, as he himself describes it on the last
remaining page, " A Book of Memorandoms kept by
William Ridge." Under this title, as but for its position
1 See "Horsfield's History of Lewes/' Vol. II., page 139, where a pedigree is
given.
NOTES ON THE EIDGB FAMILY. 117
one would call it, there is this note : — " Observe always
before December ye 25: 1763 I Signed My Name thus
William Eidge ever Since thus Wm Eidge." This is
followed by the following description of the way in which
he marked his money-bags. The minuteness of detail
when describing these bags is worthy of the particularity
of Samuel Pepys himself : —
March : 1774 I had 4 white Bags Made and I mark all within Side
and wrote from the Seam as follows and numb. Wm Ridge, March
1774 set under 4 number of Bag. I had also 2 yellow Bags marked
as before Different Date which was Jamy 1772
Another page in the memorandum-book is devoted to
a description of some other money-bags, which runs as
follows : —
August 27 : 1782 I had 4 Yellow Mony Bags Made Marked thus
Wm Ridge Marked Within Side All one Size

Observe the W began at the Seam and the 8 right under the g the

A similar entry was also made in 1776.
Much less precise are two items of personal interest
which are written on an earlier page of the memorandum-
book, in the following quaint and laconic style : —
January y® 6 : 1721, 1 Broke my Leg
March ye 12 : 173| I Cut my foot
William Ridge.
It would almost appear as if the writer cared consider-
^ably more about his belongings than about himself, since
immediately under these brief notices of accidents is an
elaborate description of a watch. The minuteness of
particulars in this entry can hardly be conveyed, however,
without the aid of an engraving in fac simile.

Observe the Crotchet between Chater and 897 is Caused by
fyling of Something.

The greater portion of the space in the memorandum-
book is about equally divided between a record of events
relating to what I "may perhaps call Sussex Meteorology,
a report of some religious services held in the Lewes
Meeting House, and a register of births, baptisms, mar-
riages, and deaths occurring in connection with the Ridge
family. There are also, as will be noticed, some miscel-
laneous entries, which can hardly be classed under any
specific heading. '
1. Sussex Meteorology.
Quite a sensational list is given on the first two pages,
where a storm of wind, an earthquake, two total eclipses
of the sun, and a flood, are all set down in the following
order and terms : —
Jannuary 8 : 173|^ there was a terrible high wind from 10 a Clock
in the forenoon till about 8 at night but about noon there was a Grust
of wind that did a great deal of damage twas computed it blowed
down 100 bams and 4 mills and a great many Chimneys hoveuels and
Trees within 12 Miles of Lewes it blowed down 2 bams of Benjamins
Bidges at If ord with between 20 and 30 Beast in them and but 1 was
Killed but Several hurt it blowed down a bam at the Groat Farm
that was builded but about 5 years before and the News Papers gave
an account of a great deal of mischife done all over England it twas
computed to be as high or higher than the november wind about 31
years before
William Ridge no doubt refers to the terrible storm,
one of a series, which commenced at midnight on the
27th of November, 1703. It is described by Erredge in
NOTES ON THE EIDGE FAMILY. 119
his " History of Brighthelmstone/' page 73. This storm
wrought such terrible havoc, that we are told that after-
wards
The town presented the minous appearance of a place severely
bombarded.
ReturniDg to the memorandum-book we find the fol-
lowing: —
October y® 26 : 1734 An Earthquake was felt by Several about
Lewes but did no damage it was felt between 3 and 4 a Clock in the
morning.
Then we have : —
In the year 1716 in April in the morning I saw Total Eclipst of the
Sun
In 1724 in May in the Evening I Saw Another total Eclipst of the
Sun .
In connection with the first eclipse of the sun recorded
here, I find Mr. John Wade^ has the following note
under date April 22, 15^15 :—
A total eclipse of the sun about nine in the morning : the darkness
was so great for three minutes and thirteen seconds that the stars
appeared.
William Ridge next records that on : —
January y® 2 : 172f Clift Bridge was drove away being Sunday
in the morning.
The inference is that this catastrophe was due to a
flood, but whether induced by rain or sudden thaw, there
is nothing here to indicate.
Some entries relating to the appearance of comets
come nexti and these are illustrated by small pen and ink
diagrams, which are scarcely worth reproducing. The
language is most curiously unscientific, as will be
noticed : —
September y® 2 : 1769 I See a Comet about 3 o Clock in the Morn-
ing about ^ as far South of Bulls Eye as Bulls Eye is from the
Pleides appearing thus. (Here, of course, a diagram is inserted.)
Tail about as long as tis between Pleides and Bull Eye.
September 4 Saw him again and then he was much more East than
before being as far and half as far from Bulls Eye as Bulls Eye is
from the Pleides appearing thus. (Another diagram occurs here.)

The following account of a great frost is interesting
for its graphic and minute particulars : —

lowed by a description of a comet, and of a drought.
Account op a Blazing Star
About Jannuary ye 7 : 174f I See A Star about as big as one of the
Stars of the yard and Blazed a Little but not enough to be Discerned
by My Father and other Ancient people he was about two hours be-

pointed Directly to the Seven Stars. Jan 21 being A Clear Night
and Moon not up he Shewed Vastly plain his tail Shewed to be half
an hour Long that is might be Seen Near half An hour after he went
down. Febuary the 9 being A Clear Night I See the Star again and
he was Vastly incresed in bigness appearing to be as big as Jupitet
but red Like Mars And his Blaze Something More then Jan. 21 Last
he had gained of the fixed Stars about an hour and Seemed A Little
bearing to the South of them and his tail seemed to bear round to
the North Star More, that is from the Sun he went down Febr. 9
about half An hour after Seven. Next Morning I see him about Six
A Clock Seeming about half A hour high being first time that I had
Seen him in A Morning So that As he Set at half An hour after

This local meteorological record may be brought to a
close with the foUowiog extracts, which will specially
interest Lewes folks : —

2. Repokts of Some Religious Seevioes Held in Lewes.
The three services recorded by William Ridge in his
memorandum book are briefly described, but brevity can
scarcely be said to have; characterized the gatherings
themselves, which lasted four hours, three hours and a
quarter, and four hours and a half respectively. It
would not be easy to secure the attention of a modem
congregation throughout such protracted proceedings.
A Public Fast.
Jannuary ye 9 : 173y^ A Fast kept on Account of war with Spain
kept at Lewis in the nper Meeting house ^ in following manner Mr
Beach prayed a Short prayer then he read a Psalm and Chapter and
then prayed again then he phreach A Sermon on Revelations 3 : 2
then Sung a Psalm and then Mr Olive prayed and then he preach a
Sermon on Jeremiah 14 : 8 and then Mr Force went up and preach on
the 3 chapter of Jonah and then he prayed and then sung another
Psalm and then made a Short exhortation for A Collecttion for the
Poor the Service began about Eleven A Clock and Continued till
about 3.
Another Public Fast.
A Fast at Lewes at uper placJe November y® 10: 1742 Mr Beach
prayed A Short prayer and read A Chapter A Psalm and Chapter and
' Bull Meeting Hoose, now Unitarian Gha pel.
NOTES ON THE EIDGB FAMILY. 123
then Sung A Psalm and prayed and Mr Watkins preacli on Jonah 3 :
7. 8. 9 and prayed and then Sung A Psalm and Mr Johnston prayed
and preach on Exodus 16:3 and then Sung a Psalm and then prayed
and made a Short Exhortation for A Collection for the poor. Began
About a Quarter of An hour after Eleven and ended about three.
The most important religious event recorded in the
memorandum-book is an Ordination Service, that took
place at Lewes in 1742 ; in which we get not only an
account of the public proceedings, that may be accepted,
no doubt, as approximately correct, but some particulars
connected with the dinner which followed the service. I
presume that when in this and in the preceding accounts
the various ministers are spoken of as singing certain
Psalms and hymns, it is to be understood that they gave
them out to be sung by the congregation in the usual
way, led, we may be sure, if so, by the choir, which was
as important an institution in William Eidge's time as
now, if not more so.
An Ordination Seevicb.
Something of the way and maner that Mr Ebenezer Johnston was
Ordained at Lewes July y® 21 : 1742 Viz Mr Mason of Darking began
with A Short prayer and read the 34"^ of Ezekiel the 10 first Yearses
of the third Chap of y^ first of Timothy And 2"^ of Titus and then
Said Something in A way of Preface then read the Churches
invitation which was Signed by Eichard Ridge Tho Barret*
William Attersol Tho Davy Crutt Weller^ and I Believe William
English and after reading he Asked them for they with Some others
of the Church Sat together wether they did not allow of the Invita-
tion if thay did they Should make Some Sighn as by holding up their
hands the which they did and then he asked Mr Johnston wether he
excepted of the invitation the which he Declared he did then we Sung
the 10*** hymn of y® 1*^ Book and then Mr Johnston of Wisbich
Brother to the ordained went in the pulpit and prayed and then Mr
Jinnings of London Preached A Sermon on the 2 Corinthians 4 : 5 and
then Mr Sammuel Snashal of Newington went in the pulpit and
Asked Mr Johnston to read his beleif and after he ask him his
Resolutions to Keep to his beleif the which also Mr Johnston Read and
then Mr Snashel came down to the Seat where the following Ministers
were to wit Mr Jinnings Doctor Dodridge Mr Johnston of Wisbich
^ A watchmaker. See page 117 ante,
* By a reference to the "Calendar of Deeds, &o., in the Possession of the
Sussex Archaeological Society/' page 77 ante, it will be seen that Cmttenden
Weller, of Lewes, was (in 1738) a tallow chandler. He is described as the '* only
son and heir of Stephen Weller, tallow chandler, deceased." His mother's name
was Hannah, and she held property in St Michael's, Lewes

3. Some Notioes op Bieths, Mabetages, and Deaths
CONNECTED WITH THE RiDQE FaMILT.
These entries are copied verbatim in the hope that
they may be of use to any who are interested in tracing
the history of the Eidge family. The first account gives
a very good idea of an eighteenth century funeral : —
Something of the Manner and Charge of the burtal of Mt
Brother Thomas who dyed y® 9^ Febuary 173| and buryed y® 13
being Fryday Viz : gave Gloves & favours to 6 young men that caryed
him from the hearse to the ground Viz : WiUiam Crawley : William
Boys : William Peckham : Joseph Attersoll : Richard Read : Crut-
tenden Weller his Father and Mother Brothers and Sisters had Cloaths
and Gloves & hatbands
None of his Aunts were here his Unkels that were here had Gloves
and hatbands & Servants and workmen had Gloves bought one Gallon
of Red wine at 6" 6^ pr gallon & a galon and a half of White at 5"*- 6^
> It may be mentioned here that the Rev. John Dnke was the first regular
minister who officiated in connection with Union Street Congpregational Church;
Brighton. He occupied the pulpit there from 1698 till 1745. In the " Churches
of Brighton," Part III., p. 256, the name of " John Duke of Brighthelmstone,
Clerke " occurs in a list of the trustees of that church, in an extract from the
original Trust Deed made " the Fifteenth day of March in the Eleventh year of the
Reign of our Sovereign Lord William the Third .... 1688-9.*' At page 261 of
the same work there is the following remark : — " All that appears to be known of
the long period of 47 years during which the ministry of the Rev. John Duke
extended, is its extent, and that the first baptism registered by him in the book of
baptisms was on 17th April, 1700 ; the last, on August 19th 1745." It may be re-
marked that a " Thomas Ridge of Brighthelmstone Grocer*' is also mentioned
among the original trustees of Union Street. A Second Trust Deed was executed
in 1781, and a third in 1766, wherein it was stated that all the trustees "where
then departed to their rest except James Ridge.*' On December 31st, 1838, a fourth
Trust Deed was executed by the then three surviving trustees, one of whom was
Joseph Ridge.

already described, since. Mr. Johnston was the husband
of his niece.

small note-book originally belonging to Kichard Ridge (father of William Kidge),
containing details of his marriage, the birth of his children, &c. A copy of the

William Ridge was evidently not a little puzzled in
working out the exact age at which his relations died so
as to bring the dates into conformity with the Act passed
in 1751, for the "Reform of the Calendar," since at the

The remaining entries in William Ridge's memorandum-
book are few in number, and of no particular value, so
far as I can judge. They include nearly a dozen of
those " Puzzling Questions *' with which our ancestors
were so fond of diverting themselves. A specimen of
this style of exercise, it will be remembered, is given in
" S. A. 0.," Vol. XXXVL, page 81, note, by Mr. 0. E.
Clayton, in his admirable paper on John Q-rover, of
Brighthelmstone. There is a record of the amount of
Land Tax per pound for a series of years ; a suggestion
as to ** A true pitch for Rafters of an house ; '* a record

of the result of the Lewes and Sussex Elections in 1774;®
a note upon the date of the invention of guns and of
printing, and several other notes besides. I will give
one specimen of a "Puzzling Question," and conclude
this transcript with one or two miscellaneous extracts :
A Batcher went to wey A ponnd of Meat and he had Lost all his

perhaps worth preserving : —

Lying in the memorandum-book were several loose
papers, and one of these is a bill for grocery supplied by
one Samuel Ollive, to the Rev. Mr. Watkins, who, it will
be remembered, took part more than once in the services
in the Bull Meeting House. The bill is transcribed to
show the prices current in 1759. On the back of tjiis
bill is a rough draft of a letter, evidently a copy of one
that was addressed by William Ridge to a son, who for
some unexplained reason, was at enmity with his father,
and who is in most pathetic terms entreated to be re-
conciled to him, before his father should be driven to
disinherit him. The letter, which is dated " Lewes,
Febry 27, 1786," is pervaded by a spirit of piety as
well as of deep affection. The scrawled writing, so
different to that in the memorandum-book, bears evident
traces of the agitation of the writer.

ON THE TRADITIONAL SITE OF A TOWN IN
THE PAEISH OF PENHUEST.
By the Ebv. EDWAED H. E. TATHAM,
Sector of Well-witli-Claxby^ Lmcolnsliire.
In last year's volume of these Collections appeared
an interesting paper by the Rev. E. F. Whistler, in
which he mentions the traditional site of an ancient
town, now called Towncreep, in his late parish of Pen-
hurst. He there imputes to the present writer, not
quite accurately, the opinion that " the much disputed
site of Anderida itself may possibly be claimed for this
spot." It is proposed in the following paper to give a
somewhat more adequate account of this locality and its
neighbourhood, and to suggest some considerations,
which point to the conclusion that it was a Roman, or
Anglo-Roman station, and possibly the scene of the
famous Saxon siege.
It is much to be regretted that on the occasion of the
Society's visit to Penhurst in 1886, there was no time to
examine this spot ; for, although the Rev. Mr. Whistler
is mistaken in speaking as if *^the debris of a ruined
cluster of habitations" were still to be seen above
ground, yet the traditions which have gathered round it,
combined with the extraordinary natural strength of the
position, would certainly have aroused the interest of
experts, which might have taken definite shape in some
proposals for excavation. I am told tliat some years
ago the Society was anxious to examine the site, but
could not obtain the necessary permission ; but I believe
that the present owner, the Right Hon. the Earl of Ash-
burnham, has kindly consented to have the ground opened
if sufficient funds could be raised.
140 ON THE TRADITIONAL SITE OP A TOWN
Creep Wood lies in the most secluded part of Penhurst,
one of the most secluded parishes in the county. For
the name of the wood I can suggest no derivation ; but
the name of the parish has both a British and a Saxon
element — the word " Pen " (meaning " head " or "ridge")
being applied to that high portion of the great forest of
Anderida which lies at the back of what is now Ash-
bumham Park. Creep Wood, which has all the appear-
ance of primitive forest land, covers more than one of
the lower ridges to the west of the highest pbint. That
part of the wood which is locally known as Towncreep
occupies the summit of an elevated spur, running from
north to south, which for about half a mile is nearly
flat at the top, and then slopes downward with increasing
steepness till it reaches the lane between Penhurst
Church and Catsfield, at a point where three valleys
meet. The river Ashbum, which runs into the sea at
Pevensey, but is here a mere brook, rises near this
point, and flows out of the eastern into the southern
valley. The southern slope of the spur is at present
covered with a thick grove of Scotch fir, reaching almost
to its foot ; but the plateau at the top is only covered
with short underwood, and, according to the popular
belief, cannot be planted with large trees because of the
masonry beneath. If we suppose that the entire spur
was cleared of wood, and a walled town situated on this
plateau, it would be hardly possible to imagine a place
more suited to stand a long siege. The only approach
froin the south would be up the long and exposed face of
the southern slope ; for on its eastern and western sides
the spur falls almost precipitously into two deep valleys,
more than 100 feet below. The north end is not so well
protected ; but if the surrounding country were forest
the only access to it open to an invader from the south
would be up one of the lateral valleys, which would be
completely covered by the defenders from the steep sides
of the spur.
A site of this commanding character is scarcely
described fairly by Mr. Whistler as "an independent
hillock half-way down the slope ; " but I am still more at
a loss to understand why he states its extent as " about
IN THE PARISH OF PBNHUEST. 141
two acres." There is no sign of earthworks, or of any
ditch surrounding the spot, by which its area could be
accurately estimated; but if we take the local tradition,
or if we assume that the town stood on the pari of the
spur most easily defended, and where there are now no
large trees, its length would be at least a quarter of a
mile, and its breadth at the north end about 200 yards,
and at the south more than 100. The town, if it existed,
would thus have formed an oblong nearly rectangular
parallelogram — a shape often found on Roman sites in
this country — and would have occupied, perhaps, between
twenty and thirty acres. Within this area there are a
few well-marked inequalities in the ground, and a super-
ficial search will discover that in many places there is a
quantity of stone very near the surface ; but whether
they are ancient remains covered over by the accumula-
tions of centuries of forest growth, or whether they are
merely a natural bed of sandstone, remains to be proved.
It will, at least, be admitted that the tradition of the
peasantry finds some support, both in the strength of
the position, and in the extent of the site.
Anyone, who will take the trouble, may satisfy himself
of the unanimity and persistence with which this tradi-
tion is maintained. I have myself made inquiries of
many who know the spot well, and have generally re-
ceived the same vague intelligence that "the founda-
tions " are there, and that within the memory of their
forefathers a large quantity of hewn stone was carried
away from thence for various buildings in the neighbour-
hood. Mr. Whistler mentions this tradition about the
Manor House at Penhurst, his disbelief in which will be
generally shared ; and I have been told by an intelligent
man, whose ancestors for generations have been em-
ployed in these woods, that it was handed down in his
family that the stone had been used to build Battle
Abbey. The circumstance is not impossible, as the
Abbey is distant less than three miles from Towncreep,
and Domesday records that the Abbot, whose church
had not then been consecrated, possessed land in Pen-
hurst. Others will give you particulars, which sound
legendary enough, of the destruction of the town, telling
142 ON THE TRADITIONAL SITE OP A TOWN
you that there was a battle or siege, in which " the red-
naired men beat the Saxons/' Nearly opposite the
Towncreep spur, not 300 yards to the south, a grassy
hill juts out into the valley from the high ridge of Ash-
burnham Park, which has long been known as " Tent
Hill," because there the tents of the besiegers were
supposed to have been pitched. It is added that so sore
were the straits to which the besieged were reduced that
they were obliged to subsist entirely on hazel-nuts, and
that this fare so seriously disagreed with them that they
were compelled at last to surrender the town !
While we cannot but smile at the ludicrous side of
such legends, it is well to remember that they often rest
on a sound substratum of fact. Mr. Wright, in his
** Wanderings of an Antiquary," mentions a tradition of
the peasantry that the Roman fortress at Lymne in
Kent (Portus Lemanis) had been overthrown by an
earthquake; and he adds that, though this was long
discredited, excavations proved beyond doubt that the
destruction was caused by a landslip. Nor need we
hesitate to believe that such traditions may have survived
the fourteen or fifteen centuries that have elapsed since
the Roman occupation. In another chapter Mr. Wright
describes the situation of Ariconium, a Roman town in
the west of England, the site oi which was so completely
lost that it long baffled the search of antiquaries. At
• length, in the last century, an elevation close to the hill
of Penyard, about three miles south-east of Ross, was
cleared of wood and brought under cultivation ; and it
was then found that " the old town," of the destruction
of which thrilling stories have long been told by the
peasantry, was no other than the long-lost Ariconium.
There are other circumstances, besides the name Pen-
yard, which seem to make this case a parallel one to that
of Towncreep. Here, too, it was confidently asserted
that the stones had been carried away as material for
large buildings in the vicinity; and it is, at least,
curious that Ariconium, like Towncreep, was situated in
the middle of a district that abounded in Roman iron-
works. Mr. Wright also mentions that some part of the
site of the Roman villa at Bignor, in Sussex, was locally
IN THE PARISH OP PENHUEST. 143
known, before its discovery, as "the Townfield." We
may thus, I think, conclude that it is not impossible
that these traditions may date back even as far as the
Roman period.
But if the site is not Roman, to what age can we
assign it ? It may possibly be what is called a British
village, but in that case we should not expect to find
stone, but rather earthworks or shallow pits, of which
there is no sign. It is not easy to imagine that it
belongs to Saxon times, unless we discard all belief in
the existence of a town, and suppose that it was used as
a forest fastness, to be defended by felled trees, or such
temporary means against the attacks of the Danes.
There are, indeed, hard by, the remains of a very ancient
habitation, which has been supposed to belong to this
period. Less than a mile to the north of Towncreep, on
a prominent knoll, stands Netherfield Place Farm, where
(as I was told by the late Rev. T. Partington — I know
not on what authority) there is said to have been a
residence of the Saxon kings. An ancient moat or ditch,
of an irregular shape and about two acres in area, is
plainly traceable for nearly the whole of its course, en-
closing the farm and orchard and most ot the buildings ;
and on the north-east side of the farmhouse a line of
large stones is still to be seen, built into the modern
ground-wall, which seem very imperfectly chiselled and
evidently belong to a much earlier and perhaps fortified
building, which has stood on the same spot.^ I discovered
by inquiry of a labourer that "an old guinea'' had been
found on the farm about thirty years ago, and I still
hope that I may be able to trace this coin. I cannot
think that this building, if it be proved to have been
Saxon, will throw any light on the date of Towncreep,
although it is possible that the stones may have been
1 Domesday menidonB *' Nedrefelle" and "Nerewelle *' ; the former alone can be
positively identified with Netherfield. Of this manor it is said that ** Goda held it
of Xing Edward." As it was a tenanoy-in-chief, the holder may have been the
Oonntess Goda, sister of King Edward, and widow of Ralph, Earl of Hereford. It
was one of those manors laid waste by the Normans after the battle, and its valae
was consequently diminished by one half (100 shillings to 50). In the list of
Inquests concerning the rebels of Sussex taken in 1265 after the Barons' War
(** Sussex Arch. Ooll.," Vol. VI., p. 216), there is one concerning the Manor of
Neddrefelde, then belonging to Sir Maibhew de Hastings. Its yearly value is stated
at marks (£6), but there is no mention of any castle or fortified place.
144 ON THE TRADITIONAL SITE OP A TOWN
taken from thence, and might disclose to an expert some
mason's mark or other clue, which would determine their
age.
Neither is it likely that the Penhurst town belongs to
the mediasval period. It is true that some villages or
settlements of the middle ages in the neighbourhood of
Leicester and elsewhere have disappeared, and their
sites only, and not their names^ are now pointed out by
the peasantry. But in these cases a little research has
generally revealed to the antiquary their names and
some of the circumstances of their destruction ; while
we may assert with some confidence that at Penhurst
since the Norman conquest there has been no such settle-
ment. The site of the Manor House — perhaps once the
residence of the ancient family of Penhurst — is well
known ; there is no trace or tradition of any castle ; and
indeed the neighbouring manor of Ashburnham has been
in the possession of the same family since Saxon times.
The above negative argument (or reasoning by exclu-
sion) in favour of a Roman site is, however, unsatis-
factory, unless there are some positive arguments to
support it ; and in the absence of any excavations these
are difficult to supply. The only object found in the
wood, of which I have heard on good authority, is,
strangely enough, a stone axe ; but this was many years
ago, and I fear that it could not now be traced. An
axe of the same material was found, in the parish of
Sedlescombe, on the very site of some Roman ironworks.
And, according to Mr. Wright's view,^ the weapon may
have belonged as well to a Roman colonist as to a primi-
tive Briton or a Saxon invader.
The military strength of the position is, I believe,
some evidence of a Roman site, for it was the habit of
the Romans, when selecting a position for a fortress in a
wild and difficult country, to choose some spot where,
from the precipitous nature of the ground, they would
practically have only two sides to defend.
But the best argument for a Roman site in this part
of the country would be its contiguity to the probable
line of a Roman road. It is supposed that there were
' See ** The Gelt, the Boman, and the Saxon/' Chapter I.
IN THE PAETSH OF PENHUBST. 145
two roads through the forest from Pevensey (Anderida
Portus) — one running north to London, the other run-
ning north-east to Lymne (Portus Lemanis), the next
fortress towards the east on the Sa^on shore. Un-
fortunately, all trace of these roads is lost. The Rev.
A. Hussey, in his " Inquiry after the site of Anderida "
(" Sussex Arch. Coll.," Vol. VL, p. 104), conjectures
as a line for the latter road the present roads from
Boreham Street through Battle, Staplecross, and Sand-
hurst to Newenden in Kent, where there was probably a
Roman station; and he thinks that some intermediate
post is required between Pevensey and Newenden, of
which " the site is yet to be discovered." He adds :
" If such vestiges (of military works) should ever be
found, it can hardly fail to be solely in woodland, which
still covers a very large proportion of the Wealds of
Kent and Sussex " (p. 106). But if this station is to be
looked for in woodland, it is at least a fair inference that
the Roman road, which would pass by it, would not follow
the present line of roads, but would probably have been
lost in the course of centuries by the overgrowth of forest
upon an unfrequented way. I cannot pretend to an inti-
mate acquaintance with the intervening country, especially
towards the borders of Kent ; but I am assured that if the
Romans had made their road from Pevensey through the
valley of the Ashburn to Towncreep, they. would have
found on the north side of the spur a valley trending to
the north-east with scarcely an intervening hill by What-
lington and Staplecross to the earthworks at Newenden.
The distance by this route from Pevensey to Towncreep
would be from ten to twelve miles ; the distance between
Towncreep and Newenden would be the same, or rather
more. I have no doubt that the walls of Pevensey would
at present, but for the trees on the south of the spur, be
easily visible from Towncreep.
To the obvious question, whether there is any trace of
such a road, I regret to say that I can give no positive
answer, nor do I feel competent to undertake the search
without some experienced antiquary for my guide. The
following facts ought, however, to be borne in mind.
XXXVII. w
146 ON THE TRADITIONAL SITE OP A TOWN
In the time of the Romans Pevensey Marsh was probably
what is called in Kent " a salt " — that is to say, a coast-
plain more or less exposed to the inroads of the sea, and
never left entirely dry, as at present. In that case the
Roman road would probably be conducted, as Mr,
Hussey suggests, by means of a causeway, perhaps
assisted by a ferry, from one to another of the " eyes "
or eminences in the marsh (of which Pevens-ey is one),
following as nearly as possible the bed of the Ash burn to
Boreham Street, where at the foot of the Weald lay the
southern fringe of the great forest of Anderida. There
is a spot at Boreham, which is still called Puddle Dock,'
and a current tradition represents that boats formerly
came in from the sea as far as this point. I am informed,
by one who knows the locality well, that in the bed of the
Ashburn, on both sides of Boreham, are still to be seen
solid oak timbers as hard as stone and black with age,
which look as if they had been used as supports for some
structure conducted along the course of the stream.
From Boreham the most practicable line of road into the
great forest would certainly be up the Ashburn Valley,*
which winds, broad and flat, between two high ridges to
the entrance of Ashburnham Park about a mile from
Towncreep, where it becomes much narrower. The
extreme north end of the spur is crossed a short distance
beyond Towncreep by ** the new road," as it is called,
from Netherfield Gun, to Battle ; and it is worth notice
that, at about the centre of the spur, a carriage passing
over the road produces a strange hollow sound for about
two yards, as though this road had been ' constructed
over an older road, running at right angles, with a solid
substratum of wood or stone. This clue, if a true one,
would not be easy to follow up, as on each side is a
thick grove of Scotch fir, at a slightly higher elevation.
Beyond the spur a wooded valley stretches away to the
north-east into Kent.
It is possible that this Roman road might be rendered
' I cannot vonoh for the spelling.
* Horsley conjectures, apparently from the derivation, that the "Fraznla" — the
first in the Bavenna list of British rivers — was the Ashbnrn ; which, in those days,
owing to the vast forest, was probably a far more considerable scream than at
present.
IN THE PARISH OF PBNHUEST. 147
exceptionally diflBcult by the primeval forest through
which it passed, and that it might be constructed of more
perishable materials than was usually the case. I should
be glad if, as a result of this paper, a search could be
made along the line suggested, by some persons with a
good special knowledge of the subject.
One further question might naturally be raised. Sup-
posing that excavation should hereafter prove this site
to be that of a Roman town, is there any town men-
tioned in the Itineraries with which it could probably
be identified ? Our original sources of information as to
Roman Britain, are so few, as to make this very difficult.
The " Notitia Imperii,'* which alone (of good authorities)
mentions the littoral fortress of Anderida, is only a
military survey. The Itinerary of Antoninus contains
no roads in this part of the country. The Ravenna list
of towns is too obscure to be of much assistance. There
remains only the Itinerary of Richard of Cirencester,
which most antiquaries treat as a fabrication, while they
acknowledge that nearly all the roads which he gives,
independently of Antoninus, have been ascertained to
exist ; and Mr. Wright is even content to base an exhaus-
tive survey of Roman Britain on the roads in this list.®
With so high an example before me, I can hardly be
blamed for quoting this Itinerary.
In Iter. XV. of Richard is contained the road from
Anderida PortuSy as it is called (Pevensey), to Lemanianus
Portus (Lymne). There are two intermediate stations ;
the first is lost ; the second is Ad Lemanum (" On the
Rother"), which might well be Newenden. Iter.
XVII, is the road northward from Anderida, through
London to York, and the first station on this road is
given as Sylva Anderida.® If we supply Sylva Anderida
at the gap in Iter. XV., we may suppose that at this
station the roads separated, the one going north to
London, the other north-east to Lymne.
^ ** The Celt, the Roman, and the Saxon/' Chap. V.
® Some have sapposed (" Wanderings of an Antiqaarj," p. 137) that the forest
took its name from the Roman settlement. The derivation of the word proves that
the reverse was the case. Dr. E. Gaest {** Origines Celticae/' Vol. II., p. 42, 151}
derives it from an, " not," and tred, " a hamlet,'' and explains it as indicating the
desolate character of the Weald.
148 ON THE TEADITIONAL SITE OP A TOWN
On these data, even if their source be suspicious, a
conjecture is at least admissible. Is it possible that
antiquaries have been too hasty in identifying the
Andredesceaster of the Saxon Chronicle, and Henry of
Huntingdon, — the scene of Ella's famous siege — with the
Anderida of the Notitia Imperii ? I confess that while
Pevensey seems to me conclusively proved to be the
latter, as being the only fort of the nine on the Saxon
shore whose ancient name is lost, its claim to be the scene
of the siege appears by no means equally well established.
It is surely far more likely that the " last stand " of the
Britons, which kept the Saxons at bay for four years,
would have been made in the great forest itself rather
than on the sea-coast, which, according to some, fell into
the possession of the Saxons immediately after the
removal of the Roman legions. Indeed, Sir Francis
Palgrave supposes that it was called "the Saxon shore,"
not because it was exposed to Saxon invasion, but
because it was already in the hands of colonists of that
race whom it was necessary to overawe. These
"Mersowara," or Marshmen, as they were called in
Kent, may well Have spread into Sussex, and would
hardly have tolerated a hostile fortress in their midst for
80 years after the departure of the Roman troops. Mr.
J. R. Green, in his " Making of England," supposes that
the " heart" of the British resistance was supplied by the
miners from the Roman ironworks of the Weald. And,
apart from, this conjecture, it is surely probable that there
was some town in the forest itself in connection with the
Roman i^oads which would serve as a rallying point for
the miners, and to which they might bring their, metal
for transport either beyond sea, or to the large towns of
the interior. As a matter of fact, Towncreep occupies
an almost central position amongst those furnaces, the
sites of which we know. Large masses of ancient iron
scorias or slag, containing Roman remains, have been dis-
covered in the more distant parish of Maresfield, to the
north-west, and in the neighbouring parishes of West-,
field and Sedlescombe, to the east and north of Penhurst.
There is also satisfactory evidence of a similar site at
Dallington.
IN THE PARISH OF PBNHTTRST. 149
Indeed, if we are to accept the account which Henry
of Huntingdon gives of the siege of Andredcester, we
must suppose that it was a large and flourishing town,
either in the midst of the fprest or close to its borders.
And it is generally admitted that Henry may have had
access to materials which are now lost. But, putting
aside the probable distance of Pevensey from the forest,
have we any proof whatever that any one of the nine*
fortresses on the Saxon shore contained a town within its
walls ? Othona has been submerged by the sea. Bran-
caster, Burgh Castle, Reculver, and Bramber, have too
small an area to be more than mere military posts. The
town of Rutupias is known to have stood on the hill
behind the citadel of Richborough; that of Dubras in
the valley below Dover Castle. The foundations ot a
house were discovered at Lymne, but Mr. Wright, who
was present at the excavations, could only account for
the absence of further foundations by supposing that
they were overwhelmed by the landslip. At Pevensey
the area within the walls is barely ten acres, which is
hardly too much for the garrison alone, which was a
cohort (600 men) of the Abulci, a Spanish people, with
their Prefect ; and it is certainly remarkable that, when
excavations were made there in the year 1 852, no foun-
dations were met with, except those of a guard-room
close to the Decuman gate. It is somewhat difficult to
believe that the sack of a town, which swept away every
vestige of the houses, can have had so little effect upon
the walls.
If, then, we may assume, from Henry of Huntingdon's
account, that Andredcester had been a noble city, con-
taining a numerous population, and that it was so
destroyed as to be in his time utterly desolate, it would
seem that Pevensey, which in the twelfth century was a
flourishing port and possessed a Norman castle, hardly
answers to the description.
Mr. Hussey's reply to this objection, that Pevensey
and the Roman fortress there, do not occupy exactly the
same spot, will seem to those who know the locality
merely an ingenious piece of special pleading, for he
himself admits that the Saxon name Pevensey — Peofn's
150 ON THE TRADITIONAL SITE OP A TOWN IN PBNHUBST.
ey — was. given to that island or eminence in the marsh,
on which both the fortress and the village stood. And
in 792 — ^just 300 years after the great siege — we find it
spoken of in a deed of gift by this its modern name.
The disappearance of the name Andredcester, which is
Saxon in form, is surely under these circumstances more
difficult of explanation ; but if the imposing remains at
Pevensey were only those of a military fortress, uncon-
nected with any great struggle — the port^ of an important
town, with which it was perhaps sometimes confused — the
loss of its Roman name, in spite of continuous occupation,
becomes more intelligible. On the other hand, if the town
had been stormed by a hostile army and razed to the
ground — its walls no less than its houses — we can easily
understand that its name would utterly perish, as in the
case of Ariconium, although a tradition of the struggle
might easily survive. ^
If these objections be deemed over-bold, it may at
least be said that such value as they may have is quite
irrespective of the claims of any other place. I am fully
prepared to admit that the positive identification of
Andredcester, with the site at Towncreep, is only a
possible result of future excavations, and cannot at
present be more than a suggestion. If it could be
proved, it would be a remarkable piece of evidence in
favour of Richard's Itinerary. It is certainly a fair
objection that the termination *'cester" may imply
walls or works of such strength that neither the fury of
an invader, nor the lapse of centuries, nor the cupidity
of mediaeval builders, would avail to demolish them,
although I believe there are names of places in England
with this termination whose walls have entirely dis-
appeared. The main object of this paper will at least
have been fully attained if it leads to a careful examina-
tion by competent authorities, of the site at Towncreep,
and of the probable direction of Roman roads in this
part of the county.

176 AN INVBNTOEr OP QUEEN KATHERINB'S WARDROBE.
Endorsed in a hand of the 17th century : — " Concerning
Queen Katherine her Bobes delivered by Sir John
Pelham^ y® younger her chamberlayne."
[I have to thank the Librarian and Secretary of the
British Museum (Edward Maunde Thompson, Esq.,
D.C.L., LL.D., F.S.A.) for kindly correcting this proof
and collating it with the original MS.]— Ed. "S. A. 0."
> Mr. 0. T. Phillips writes as follows: — "Having been informed that this
inventory related to the property of Katherine, Qneen of Henry y.> I think the
subjoined historical notes may be of service.
" Henry Y. (of Monmonth) was born 1889, and married 8rd June, 1420, Katherine
of Valois, daughter of Charles VI. of Prance, by whom (on St. Nicholas Day, 1421)
he had only one child, Henry VI. Henry V. died 31st Aug., 1422, and was buried
in Westminster Abbey.
" Katherine was born 27 October, 1401 ; crowned in Westminster Abbey, 21st
February, 1421. After Henry's death she married secretly one of the King's
gentlemen-at-arms, Owen Tudor, a Welshman, by whom she had three sons (' and
a daughter that lived but a while.' — Sir B. Baker's Chron.). The Qneen died Jan.
8rd, 1437, in the thirty -fifth year of her age, and was buried firstly in the Church
of St. Katherine by the rower, and, secondly and lastly, in Westminster Abbey
(ex ' Catherines of History *). She was Shakespeare's ' Kate ' (see ' Henry V.*).
** To him (Sir John Pelham, who was with Henry V. at the siege of Bouen,
1418-1419, and who died in 1429) succeeded another Sir John Pelham, also
Constable of Pevensey Castle, and Chamberlain of the Household to the Consort
of Henry the Fifth, He used in his deeds a beautiful and elaborate seal, on which
the two buckles and the * cage^ an emblem of the captivity of the French Kin^
(John), are conspicuous (ex. M. A. Lower's * Worthies of Sussex,' p. 43).
*' The above appears to me conclusive evidence that the Sir John Pelham is the
one mentioned in the document, and that its date must be between 1420 and
1437."
NOTES AND QUEKIES.
No. 1.
ARMS OF THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX.
Mr Cockayne, Norroy King of Arms, says, " S. A. C," XXXV., 190,
tliat " no arms exist for tlie connty of Sussex or any other county."
A county, in fact, is not a corporate body, but a "geographical
expression," as Prince Metternich, I think, said of Italy. The king-
dcms of the Heptarcjiy had each undoubtedly, as such, banners, with
some device or insignia thereon, being the personal ensign of the
sovereign.^ The South Saxon kingdom, comprehending Sussex,
Surrey, and some adjacent parts, is said to have borne Six Martlets.
According to, I believe, the earliest authority on the subject, viz.,
Speed's " Theatrum MagnsB Brittannise," an Atlas and Gazetteer, pub-
lished in 1616, the arms of the South Saxons are given on one map as
Oules 6 •martlets or, and on another Azure 6 martlets or. He also
assigns arms to the Mercian Kings (a saltire) , the East Angles (6
crowns), the East Saxons (3 scimitars), the Kentish Saxons (a horse
rampant), the Heathen West Saxons (a griffin), the Christian West
Saxons (a cross moline), the first Saxon Monarchs (a cross patonce),
later Saxon Monarchs (a cross patonce between 4 martlets), and to
other princes and kingdoms. It is singular that to the " first Kings
of Wales " he gives a cross moline fitch^e, and to " the later Kings
of Wales " the same bearing between 4 martlets.
The question now arises. What is the authority for these heraldic
attributions ? We have no contemporary evidence, pictorial or
written, for any of them; but this is deplorably deficient, at the
■period of the Heptarchy, for a host of customs, and is simply
negative. Coins, however, afford evidence that cannot be set aside.
On the coins of Ethelbert, King of Kent, we find the Horse, which we
may fairly suppose was pictured on the banner of Horsa. A raven
appears on a coin of Anlaf , King of Northumberland. This device
was worked on the enchanted Danish Standard mentioned in Asserts
" Life of Alfred." * The standard of Wessex, the historians tell us,
in the eighth century was a dragon. Now, Baldwin, Earl of Devon,
who died 1155, bore a griffin on his seal. Baldwin's two sons and
his grandson, all Earls of Devon, also exhibited the griffin on their
seals. Devonshire formed a part of the Kingdom of Wessex, and
the Earls, perhaps, assumed the traditional standard of Wessex.^ The
arms of Cornwall as borne by its early Dukes are said to have been 15
1 The Bayenz Tapestry testifieB to the existence of ensigns on both banners and
shields, borne as well by the Saxons as Normans. Vide ''Antiquities of
Heraldry," Chap. YIII., and Plates.

bezants. This real or imaginary charge was recognized and adopted
by Cornish families from the time of Henry II. to a great extent, as
shown by Mr. Lower in the Appendix to his "Curiosities of
Heraldry." * In a MS., " Life of Offa, King of Mercia," by Mathew
Paris, who died 1259, are drawings of several coats of arms. Argent
a Saltier or is depicted on a flag and also on a shield as the bearing of
Offa.* We have evidence as early as Edward I. of the arms of St.
George, St. Edmund, St. Edward, and St. Cuthbert,® and in Planch6's
" Roll of Arms " of the same date, " le Roi St. Edwarde " is said to
have borne Azure 3 crovms or and Azure a cross patonce between 4
maHlets or J
The so-called arms of the Confessor are evidently founded on or
taken fcom (at some period) the Roman coin of a cross between 4
doves, which strikingly resembles the standard of one of the cohorts
in the fifth century, viz., the Constantiani. The types of the Roman
coinage were used by both Britons and Saxons.® But no coins of the
South Saxons (if they ever had any) have come down to us . These,
therefore, cannot be the foundation for the 6 martlets, their supposed
bearings. We have seen that Speed attributes to the " later Saxon
monarchs " and to " the later Kings of Wales " a cross between
4 martlets. In a note ® are given other arms, attributed by Speed to
various other sovereigns, which have certainly not been preserved (if
they ever existed). What conclusion, then, can we come to but that
all these ensigns are imaginary and fanciful ? that they have been
invented to gratify the desire to know what were or might have been
the ensigns of the persons in question. Speed we don't suppose was
the inventor, but put on record the current fictions, whether fabricated
by the inventive heralds of the Elizabethan period, or by earlier
forgers we have no means of knowing.
We thus arrive at a tabula rasa in respect to the "arms of
Sussex " as being inherited through centuries from the bearings of
the South Saxons. It is not a pleasing task to dissipate the

interesting illusion that tlie Sonth Saxons of to-day are not only
descended from tlie South Saxons of a thousand years ago, but that
the ensigns now so widely borne as the hereditary " arms of Sussex "
have nothing at all to do with the old South Saxons, but must have
had a different origin, which I will now try to ascertain.
We have to ascertain at what period the 6 martlets began to be
used as the county arms, whether they were taken from Speed's
book, or Speed or his predecessors had found them already in use as
the county arms, and presumed they were derived from the South
Saxons. In a folio engraved plate, now before me, called "Plate
139," from some work apparently published in the last century, are
engraved, " The Seals of the several Counties, etc., in England and
Wales." The arms attributed to Sussex are Ermine on a chief
indented, a lion passant on a shield in front of a castellated building.
These resemble the arms of the city of Chichester, and the bearings,
with the exception of the lion, were those of the Earl of Moreton,
Lord of Pevensey Bape. Several of the seals have in the background
a castle, which will be explained presently. The county of Bucks
gives a swan ducally gorged.^® Essex and Notts display a cross
raguly between 3 crowns, and Ely 3 crowns. Leicestershire exhibits
a cinqfoil, being the bearing of the early Earls of Leicester.
Montgomeryshire the arms of Boger, Earl of the County, viz., a lion
rampant within a bordure. Badnorshire the arms of Mortimer.
Glamorganshire, the 3 chevrons of the house of Clare.
It is well known that ancient boroughs, monastic establishments,
and other corporations took the arms, with some variation, of their
founders or patrons. Thus in Sussex, the arms of Warren, appear
early on the seal of the Prior of St. Pancras at Lewes, whilst the seal
of the latter borough consists of the arms of Warren and Braose, and
that of Seaford contains the eagle of the family of Acquila, lords of
the Honour of the Eagle, in which it is situate. I have sometimes
thought that the 6 swallows borne by the ennobled family of Arundel,
on the presumption that they took their name from Arundel in
Sussex, and were of the race of the Earls of Arundel, gave rise to the
6 martlets of Sussex. But that idea gives way to investigation. Mr.
Pym-Yeatman, it is true, in his elaborate " History of the House of
Arundel " sanctions this connection, but Mr. Bond, in his review of
the work,^^ disproves this altogether, and shows negatively that
" Boger Arundel," the Domesday tenant of several manors in
Somersetshire, was not in any wise related to the owners of Arundel
Castle. His name, in fact, is not territorial (the prefix de being
absent) but personal, like other names in Domesday, as Alis, Gjffard,
Marmion, Paganell, Peverell, etc., and I am told the name as a
personal name is met with in Yorks., and also Fitz Arundel, in the
Cartulary of Whitby Abbey.

180 NOTES AND QUEBIES.
It now behoves us to inquire if the 6 martlets of Sussex could
have had an armorial origin in the county from any family who bore
those charges. The martlet (little martin), as an heraldic charge, is
comparatively rare ; not half-a-dozen coats containing it are met with
in the thirteenth century ;^* subsequently it was used to " difference "
a coat of arms. In the earliest Roll of Arms we have (Glover's),
1240-5, we meet with these instances : — Wm. de Valence barruly an
orle of martlets ; Patrick de Cadurcis (Chaworth) barruly only, but
in the next reign with an orle of martlets ; Merley, Mounteney,
Fumivall, and Faucombe, with martlets; and one Sussex name,
Prank de Boun,^' Oules a crescent ermine with an orle of martlets ermine.
It is remarkable, however, that in " Charles* Roll," temp. Edw. I., he
discontinued the martlets and bore three crescents only, not from
caprice, as some might suppose, but because, according to the custom
of the time, the occasion for it had ceased, as the property symbolized
by it had gone out of his possession. In Charles* Roll we meet
with some of the same names, with the same charges as in *' Glover's
Roll," and, in addition, Gt)dfrai de B. E , sable 6 martlets, or
3, 2, 1 ; Henry de Appleby, azure 6 martlets or 3, 2, 1 ; and other
names bearing martlets, viz., Someri, De la Bere, Waleis, Pigod,
Lutterell, and Munteney, as also that of Wm. Painell, a Sussex man,
who bore argent 2 bars az. with an orle of 9 martlets gules. In the
Harleian RoU,^* temp, Edw. I. or II., Sir Wm. Paynell bore or 2
bars az. with an orle of 6 martlets gules. This Sir Wm. married
Margaret, d. and h. of Sir John de Gattesden, Knt., Sheriff of Sussex,
who had married Hawise Savage, an heiress, by whom he obtained
Broadwater and other properties. His wife had issue by her first
husband. Sir Wm. de Camoys, but none by Paynell. The latter was
summoned to Parliament as a Baron 1304, but died 1317 s.p. He re-
founded Hardingham Priory, and in 1294 was lord of Norton in
Bishopstone and Denton.
We now come to a small group of Sussex men who bore martlets,
not mentioned in early rolls. First in importance is the coat of War-
deux of Bodiam (" S. A. C," Vol. IX., p. 282), which is carved on the
portals of Bodiam Castle, which was built in the time of Edward III.
This was 6 martlets. Sir Henry de Wardeux was Knt. of the shire
1302. A contemporary of his, John de Ratyngdene, was also Knt. of
the shire 1319-22-28-30. The arms of Ratyngdene, according to Sir
Wm.Burrell (MSS. Brit. Mus., 6695, p. 613), were az. 6 martlets arg.
3, 2, 1 ; but, unfortunately, he does not give his authority. Possibly
this coat had a cognate origin with that of Wardeux.^^ The family
of Hay of Robertsbridge (temp. JJdw. IV.) and of Battle, according
to the Visitations, bore 6 martlets, and 2 more on a fess. The

H " Genealogist," Jan., 1886, p. 38.
16 We have seen in the paper in this volume on the '* Origin of some Sussex
Arms " that the bearers of 8 crescents mostly derived that coat from a common
source. This is also proved of many bearings in the genealogical tables in my book
on the "Antiquities of Heraldry.**
NOTES AND QUBEIBS. 181
latter was probably an addition or " difference " at an early period.
Roger de Haia was Sheriff of the county temp. Henry II. ; and several
members of the family occur early in the Catalogue of Battle Abbey
Charters. The name occurs once only in the early rolls as bearing
a sun. Covert bore a fess ermine between three martlets; and
Cheney of Warbleton ermine 3 martlets on a bend. Board of Board
Hill bore 6 martlets in orle, which probably they assumed on rising
into importance temp. Hen. VIII. ^^
In the "Herald and Genealogist" (IV., 213, and V., 193) is a learned
and very instructive article on " Sheriffs' Seals,"^^ by Mr. F. J.
Baigent, relating chiefly to the seals (with engravings) of the Sheriffs
of Hants. As his first specimen he gives the blazon of the seal of Sir
Wm. de Overton, Sheriff of Hants 31 Edw. III. Then he gives an
engraving of the seal of Gilbert Wace, who was sheriff of Berks and
Oxon 46 and 49 Bdw. III., on which was a castle in the background
with a shield of his arms in front, which is the precise character of
the seals of subsequent sheriffs. With respect to the first appearance
of this class of seals, Mr. Baigent remarks : — " These seals, I am in-
clined to believe, first made their appearance in the latter part of the
fourteenth century, and I do not think their origin can be carried
back to an earlier period. As to their use, it must be borne in mind
that the duties of the olden sheriffs were not only different, but far
more numerous than those required from their successors of the pre-
sent day: in a few words they held, in addition to their present
duties, the offices of Lord Lieutenant and Gustos Botuhrum, and were
receivers* not only of the crown rents, fines, and amerciaments, but
even custodians of the royal castles, and of all the royal property
within their respective counties. Moreover, in olden times the
appointment was not limited, as at present, to a single year, but was
held during the King's pleasure, so that it was not unusual to find
the same person holding the oflBce for 10 or 12 years, or even for a
much longer period. The annual system appears to have been intro-
duced about the year 1370. . . . The uses of these Sheriffs' Seals
were innumerable, and they were affixed to writs, letters, mandates,
receipts, etc., in fact to all documents emanating from the Sheriff."
Many documents of this class would doubtless be found in the
archives of the landowners of Sussex, and probably at the General
Record Office.^^
^^ It is not improbable their seal was got from a matrix found in the soil, and thus
utilized, as no doubt many others were, as ** family arms." In the British Museum
is a collection of such matrices, discovered at different times, with wax impressions.
17 Mr. Baigent says, in a note: — *'The scarcity of impressions of these seals
arises from the fact that the documents to which they were appended were of minor
importance and generally valueless after a few years." And in the text he says : —
<< The impressions preserved of these seals are not numerous ; and this is to be re-
gretted, as they would otherwise have furnished us with many coats which are now
lost, as well as the real arms of many families to whom later or more modem coats
have been assigned."
^B Mr. Baigent (<' Herald and Genealogist,'* V., 194) gives an engraving of the
seal of Wm. de Weston, Sheriff of Sussex and Surrey, 1388, consisting of a castle
and his initials, '* W. W.*' His arms were a chevron between three lions' heads,
as appears on another seal of his.
182 NOTES AND QUEBIES.
The arms of Sir John de Ghktesden do not occnr in any roll, nor is
any seal of his known to exist ; but it is an allowable conjecture that
he might have borne the 6 martlets of Sir Wm. Paynell,^® who, ac-
cording to the custom of the time, would have taken the arms of his
daughter, a heiress, whom he married.
Mr. Baigent (" Herald and Genealogist," IX., 222) says that the
arms of Grifford, Sheriff of Hants, 1432, viz., 10 bezants, are to this
day the arms of the See of Worcester, owing to the fact of one of the
family, Godfrey Giffard, being the bishop 1268. In like manner the
arms of Cantalupe were adopted as the bearings of the Sfee of Here-
ford, Thomas de Cantalupe having been bishop 1275-1282.
From all the foregoing facts we may conclude that not improbably
some early Sheriff of the Counflby may have displayed on his official seal
6 martlets ; and that then, or even for a long time subsequently, a seal
with those bearings, as that of the Vicecomes SussexiflB, was fitly con-
sidered a warrant for giving to the county a coat of arms that they
might justly, according to analogy, make use of and adopt. It must
be remembered that of many of the* early Sheriffs we know next to
nothing, neither of their genealogy nor their coats of arms ; and that,
temp. Edw. I., and II., and III., eminent families in their branches
bore different arms at different times, as is evidenced in the case of
Cheney and Cobham. Until such a seal shall be discovered, the South
Saxons of the present day, like many individuals and corporate
bodies, may continue to use fictitious coats of arms and be felicea
errore suo.
As an instance of the recognition of an ancient bearing, Mr.
Planche (no advocate of the existence of Heraldry at the Conquest)
says (" Joum. Arch. Assoc.," XII., 321) : — " Nearly all who bore
maunches were descended from or allied to the heiresses of Waltheof ,
Earl of Northumberland {qui oh, 1076). In like manner a great num-
ber of Cheshire families bore garbs in their arms, apparently in regard
to the 3 garbs representing the earldom of Chester, 1240-5. The
Earl of Chester bore azure 3 garbs or ("Glover's Roll "), and the seal
of Ranxdph, Earl of Chester and Line, who died 1232, gives 3 garbs
(Nichols* " Topographer and Genealogist," I., 315), whilst John de
Arden, " miles Ran. Com. Chester," bore 3 garbs on his seal, 1213
(ibid., p. 215). Azure 3 garbs or for the Earldom of Chester, and
sable 15 bezants or for the Duchy of Cornwall are represented in the
Visitation of Chester, 1580 (Harleian Soc), as the ensigns of the
Prince of Wales. The arms of England, 3 lions passant, dimidiating
azure 3 garbs or, are given by Speed, as the arms of the county of
Chester, and 3 garbs or, with a sword in pale, as the arms of the city.
Possibly the garbs were first borne by Gherbodus, created Earl of
Chester 1066.
Now there is nothing analogous to these instances in the case of
" Mr. Lower (** 8. A. C," Vol. IX., p. 281), in his paper on Bodiam, says there
wore two other places of the name of Bodiham in Sussex, one near Battle and the
other near Petworth, the latter heing owned by the family of Paynell. If this were
a manor named by a member of the Bodiam family it would strongly countenanoe
a connection between the Paynell and the Wardeux martlets.
NOTES AND QUEBIES. 183
Sussex. Had there been an early tradition that the insignia of the
South Saxon Kingdom were 6 martlets, we should probably have seen
them recognized in the arms of the earls and barons of the County.
But nothing of the kind is noticeable, except in the half-dozen cases
enumerated of families, of no more than knightly rank, as late as the
fourteenth century, with the exception of Bohun.

TEE FITZALAN FEBIOBEE.
To the Editor of the " Sussex Archaeological Collections,**
Dear Sir, — Some time ago I called the attention of Captain
Attree, R.B., to what I consider a mis-statement in his pedigree of
the Fitzalans in his paper on Wivelsfield (" S. A. C," XXXV., pp.
9 and 11), where he states that Elizabeth Fitzalan, one of the co-
heiresses of that house, after the death of her second husband,
Thomas de Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, married, as her third
husband. Sir Gerard Ufflete, knt., and, fourthly. Sir Robert Goushill,
of Hoveringham, Notts, knt. ; the fact being, as I think, clear that
these last two husbands stood in the reverse order. Captain Attree's
duties did not at that time permit him to go into the matter, and he,
therefore, requested me to lay before you the following notes on this
point, at the same time pointing out to me that his version agreed
with Tiemey's " Arundel " and the paper by Mr. TTrower on Findon
in " S. A. C," Vol. XXVI., 219 seq. This paper contains a pedigree
of the owners of Findon Place, and at p. 262 he states :
" 21. Thos. de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal, Earl
"of Nottingham died 1399, married Elizabeth (Fitzalan), daughter of
" Richard, 6th Earl of Arundel, widow of Sir William Montacute.
" She re-married (1) Sir Gerard Ufflete, (2) Sir Robert Goushill ; " (but
at page 236 he expresses a doubt as to this order, and says the accounts
differ), and refers for these marriages to Tiemey's " Arundel," 192 ;
• " S. A. C," v., 146 ; Cartwright's (PDallaway's) " Rape of Arundel,"
y 131 ; and Dugdale's " Baronage," I., 320 ; which authorities he seems
to state " put Sir G. Ufflete after Sir R. Goushill." None of them,
however, do so, and it appears that these authorities are all copied
from Dugdale: (I.) Tierney quotes the above reference to the
"Baronage" (I., 320). (II.) "S. A. C," V., 146, is a paper by
Sharpe and Burrell on papers relating to Knepp Castle, which
quotes the Inq. post mortem of Sir John Goushill (recte Robert), 5
. Hen. IV., 22, and then in a note states him to be the fourth husband
without authority (probably they copied Cartwright), notwithstand-
ing the inquisition which they quote " Elizabeth, his wife, formerly
widow of Thomas, late Duke of Norfolk."
(III.) Dallaway, as edited by Cartwright, 1832 (" Rape of Arundel,"
p. 142), calls Goushill the fourth husband, and also mentions his
younger daughter, Elizabeth, before the elder, Joane. He states the
date of the marriage, 1400, and in a note refers to the effigies of this
184 NOTES AND QUERIES.
Sir Robt. GouBhill and Elizabeth, Dacliess of Norfolk, in the chnrch
of Hoveringbam, Notts. Cartwright also, in tbe " Bape of Bramber,"
p. 183 (ed. 1830), relates tbe death of Thos. de Mowbray in banish-
ment at Venice, Sept. 27, 1399, the year preceding the above
marriage.
(IV.) Dngdale ("Baronage," I., 320) says Elizabeth Fitzalan
married " thirdly to Sir Grerard Ufflete, knt. (Mon. Ang., II., 194fa,
"no. 60), fourthly to Sir Bobt. Gonshill, knt. (Clans. 2 Hen. IV.,
"p. 2), [who had been an esquire (Clans. 1 Hen. IV., m. 21) to the
" Duke of Norfolk.] " The reference to the Monasticon speaks of Thos.
de Mowbray, his creations, marriages, banishment, and death in 1399,
but does not name any other husband of Elizabeth, nor mention that
she was already a widow when he married her. Dugdale may have
intended here to refer to " Catal. Nob., by B.B. " also. The
" Baronage," going on with the history of Thomas, Earl of Arundel
(the last of this house of Fitzalan), quotes his will (p. 320 6), dated
10 Oct., 1416, and (p. 321a) relates his death, 13 Oct. following,
jand after reciting the manors, etc., of which he died seized, con-
tinues : " Leaving Elizabeth, Duchess of Norfolk, then wife of Sir
Gerard Ufflete, Joane . . . and Margaret . . . his sisters and 'next
heirs, the said Elizabeth and Joane being at that time 40 years of
age and upwards and Magaret 33 " (Esc. 4 Hen. V., no. 54, Norf .)
It would appear from this passage of Dugdale that the Close Boll
of 2 Hen. IV., p. 2, determined the order in which he stated these
latter marriages. Unfortunately he does not quote the membrane,
of which the roll contains a large number. I have had no oppor-
tunity of reading it throughout, but when at the Becord Office some
time since I looked through the marginals, in which I noticed
nothing indicating which part of the Boll referred to this subject ;
and time permitted no more careful examination.
The only independent and original work I have met with in connec-
tion with these marriages is in Baker's " History of Northampton-
shire " (Pedigree of Mowbray), whence I quote the following clear
and consistent dates from Escheats, etc. : — Thomas de Mowbray
married to his second wife Elizabeth, sister and coheiress of Thomas
Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, K.G. She had Chacomb in
dower, and died 8 July, 3 Hen. VI., 1424 (Esc. 3 Hen. VI., n. 25),
and was buried at Hoveringham, Notts. Thomas de Mowbray was
her second husband, Earl of Nottingham, 6 Bic. II., 1383 (Cart. 5
and 6 Bic. II., n. 6), Earl Marshal of England, 12 January, 9 Bic.
II., 1386-6 (Pat. 9 Bic. II., p. 1, m. 38, and Cart. 10 Bic. II., n. 3),
Duke of Norfolk in Parliament, 29 Sept., 21 Bic. II., 1397 (Cart. 21
Bic. II., n. 23), reversed by Parliament 1 Hen. IV., 1399; K.G., died
at Venice Sept. 23, Bic. II., 1399 (Esc. 1 Hen. IV., n. 71). After
his death the duchess dowager remarried as her third husband Sir
Bobert Goushill, of Hoveringham, Notts ; married 2 Hen. IV., 1400 ;
he died 20 July, 5 Hen. IV., 1404 (Esc. 6 Hen. IV., n. 22), leaving
issue Joane, aged 2 years (afterwards Joanna Lady Stanley), and
Elizabeth, aged 1 year (afterwards married to Sir Bobert Wingfield,
knt.), his daughters and coheiresses. His widow then married to

her fourth and last husband Sir Gterard TJfflete, knt., who was living
4 Hen. V., 1416.
I have little doubt that the circumstance of her being buried as
Duchess of Norfolk with her third husband at Hoveringham has
given rise to the confusion, and I feel sure that anyone with more leisure
than myself for Record OflSce work will find that the Rolls, Escheats,
etc., quoted are sufficient to clearly establish this point.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours faithfully,

ROMAN CHICHESTER.
In '* S. A. C," Vol. XXXIV., page 252, 1 notice that Mr. Napper,
in reference to a rale I have ventured to lay down,^ fancies he finds an
exception in Regnum placed at 20 miles from Clatiaentum, the situation
of which at Bittern Manor is demonstrated by existing remains, and by
.the Itinerary distance from Venta Belgarum, Winchester.
If the Regnum be what is now Chichester, a Roman town of the first
magnitude, then the distance would be 30 miles, and it must be supposed
that an error has crept into the Itinerary. But if we take the Regnum
as indicating the territory of the Regni the distance of 20 miles would be
correct.
I do not think that Regnum is to be taken for the city of Chichester.
Of most of the chief Roman towns the ancient name has influenced the
modem — for instance, Colchester, Rochester, York, Exeter, London,
etc. — and Chi could never have sprung from Regnum, It may have
descended from CivUas (pronounced Chivitas)^ the chief city of the
Regni. This is a reasonable interpretation, and quite in accordance
with the general rule I refer to.

NOTE ON A MEDIEVAL CRUCIFIX DISCOVERED AT
COOMBES.
The crncifix figured in the accompanying phototype was foand in May,
1877, in Coombes Churchyard, lying a few inches beneath the surface.
It is now in the possession of the Vicar of the parish, the Rev. E.
Foreman, who has kindly lent it me for inspection and reproduction. It
has heen already brought under the notice of archaeologists. When it was
discovered a brief, and not quite accurate, account was communicated to
the Society of Antiquaries (N. S., VII., 373). In June, 1888, Mr. Roach
Smith exhibited a photograph, which I sent him, to the Archasological
Association, and in July I exhibited the original to the Institute (XLV.,
450). For some of the information in the following notes I am indebted
to Mr. A. W. Franks, Mr. A. Hartshorne, and others.
The phototype represents the crucifix full size, but reversed. It is a
bronze or copper, not iron, repousse figure, 3f inches long. The right
hand and left arm have heen lost, otherwise the figure is perfect. On
the right foot the sign of the stigma is still to be seen, a bit of ruby-
glass in the centre of a five-leaved flower of blue enamel. The deep
hollows in the kilt or loincloth were, perhaps, filled with blue paste ; the
rest, eyes included, was prohably gilt. Much of the gilding remains, and
appears white in the phototype.
The crucifix appears to have been the ornament of a chasse or
reliquary, not — as has been asserted — of a missal. The date is either
the end of the thirteenth or some part of the fourteenth century.
An almost identical specimen, which I saw recently in the Pesth
Museum, was dated by the Curator, Dr. Hampel, as belonging to the
fourteenth century. The style of the Coombes crucifix is that of
Cologne, showing possibly traces of Byzantine influence. The most
interesting feature in the mode of representation is the loincloth, which
forms a sort of kilt, reaching down to the knees.
Similar crucifixes have frequently been found. Dr. Cox published a
latten one from Holderness in the Reliquary, some little while ago.

CURIOUS CUSTOM AT QUESTLING, SUSSEX,
The following letter, addressed to the Rev. Canon Borrer by the
Rector of Guestling, was read at a recent meeting of the Committee of
the Sussex Archaeological Society, and will, no doubt, be found of
interest to the members of the Society generally : —
" Guestling Rectory, Hastings,
"June 19th, 1889.
" Dear Sir, — Some time ago I mentioned in my letter to you a curious
series of entries in our Registers. After many entries of births and
deaths there is added, * Turnpike paid' or * t p^.'
" I have at length got a clue to the meaning of this. — It appears that
a Law was passed that a fee of ^A. per entry should be paid to
Goyernment, beginning in October, 1783. This is the exact date when
our entries of turnpike paid begin ; the first is October, 1788, and the
last December, 1793.
" Why, however, this should have been entered as ' Turnpike paid,' I
do not know. It might have been a whim of the clergyman's, for I
scarcely think the proceeds of the tax could have been taken for the
turnpikes.
'^ The entry which gave me this explanation is taken from an extract
from the Register Books of Wherstead, near Ipswich. It runs thus :
" *In the year 1783 is the following entry :

' Memorandum.— A duty of three pence was laid upon registering

"1 am glad to have found out the clue to these entries in our

" This entry, 't p^,' is not added to all, but only to the majority of
entries. Was it because the others could not afford to pay ?

ALDINGBOUBNE CHUEOH.
The Parish Church of S. Mary, Aldingboume, has during this year
(1889) undergone careful restoration. In the course of the work, which
included the removal of a modem plaster ceiling covering the .old
oak roof timbers, and cleaning the limewash of a hundred annual
applications from the walls, a few fresh features of archseological
interest have been brought to light. By the side of the south door-
way (a well-preserved example of transitional Norman work) in the
east wall of the porch, the remains of what may perhaps be a holy
water stoup have been uncovered, and behind the deal panelling of
the very interesting chantry chapel a sadly-mutilated piscina.
Dallaway speaks of a " north arcade " (the well-preserved and very
admirable south arcade still exists), and on removing some of the
old plaster the chalk voussoirs of the arches have been found. The
fragments of colour decoration, figures, inscriptions, borders, and
ornaments beneath the limewash are very abundant. In .the paving
the stone altar, broken, but with the five crosses still perfect, has
been discovered, and a number of the ancient floor tiles, with a portion
also of an incised coffin slab, as represented below : —
Some of the " stations of the Cross,*' rudely executed in red colour,
are now exposed on the walls.
The three bells at this church are described in Vol. XVI., " S, A. C,"

ANCIENT CHAPEL AT LIDSEY.
The Editor has much pleasure in inserting the following letter,
relating to the chapel once existing at Lidsey, received from the
Vicar of Oving : —
*' To the Editor of the ' Sussex Archaeological Collections.*
" Sir, — In * Notes and Queries ' of the last Volume of * Sussex
Archaeological Collections ' (XXXVI., p. 249) mention is made of a
font and several pieces of early English architecture having been
found at Lidsey, in the parish of Aldingbourne, and which were pur-
chased of Mr. Bushby, the builder and contractor, by your correspondent,
the Rev. W. B. Philpot [Alas ! that the Society should have to lament
his death since he wrote last year], and preserved by him in the school-
room at South Bersted.
*' Mr. Philpot does not seem to have been aware of the fact that a
chapel existed at Lidsey in early days. It is from the ruins of this that
these interesting objects undoubtedly came, and not from the source he
suggests. Dallaway says that in 1232 it was decided that oblations made
to the chapelry at Lydsey were due -to the mother Church. At the
present time, I believe, nothing remains of the ancient edifice, the last
vestiges, probably, having been disposed of in 1884, in the way your
correspondent states. In the tithe map of Aldingbourne there is a lane
at Lidsey called Church Lane, from which we may suppose the chapel
was situated slightly westward of the farmhouse occupied by Mr. Neale.

DI800VEBY OF OINEBABY UBN8 AT ALFBI8T0N.
In April, 1889, a discovery of some importance was made by Mr.
John Stephen Ade, of Milton Court, Arlington, at Burnt House Farm,
Alfriston. While workmen were removing a round tumulus by digging
therefrom metal for road-making they came upon six cinerary urns,
arranged in a straight line. Thr^e of these urns are now in the posses-
sion of Mr. Ade (two being entire), together with portions of a fourth.
The largest urn is a fine specimen of Celtic pottery ; it is very thin. The

dimensions are as follows : — Circumference at the shonldet, 45 inches ;
diameter at mouth, 11^ inches; and 13| inches in height. All the
vessels were reversed when found, and covered with wood ashes. Upon
the shoulder of the largest urn are four pieces of the clay slightly pro-
jecting, each piece about an inch long. These were evidently intended
to use when lifting the urn, and are placed at right angles with each
other. In this urn were a large number of burnt bones, evidently the
remains of two or three bodies.
The next largest urn is of the shape of an ordinary flower pot, the clay
being very much coarser than that of the large one, and the vessel
thicker. The dimensions are as under : — Circumference at top, 17
inches ; diameter at mouth, 5 inches ; diameter at bottom, 3^ inches ;
height, 6J inches.
A small urn, broken, but capable of reparation, is similar in shape to
the largest one, the circumference at the shoulder being 14^ inches ;
diameter at mouth, 4 inches ; height, 4 inches. This specimen shows
some rude attempts at decoration ; there are two rows of incised marks
surrounding the shoulder and top. Projecting from the shoulder is an
ear, which, no doubt, was to have been matched by a similar handle on
the opposite side, but there is no appearance of the other having been
attached. There are fragments of another urn, similar in shape and
character to that last described, but without an ear.
The urns were all placed below the natural level of the earth, in an
excavation made in the chalk rubble, with large quantities of flints lying
upon the rubble.

AROH^OLOQICAL DISCOVERY AT SOUTHO VER, LEWES.
On December 5th, 1889, two interments were discovered in Mr. Ken-
ward's nursery ground at the back of the " Jolly Friars ■ ' Inn, Priory
Street, Southover. It would appear that these belong to a series of
interments which from time to time have been found between Priory
Street and the railway cuttings, indicating, in all probability, the site of
the Priory cemetery north and east of the great Church of St. Pancras,
destroyed in 1588/ It was while sinking a circular pit that the
discovery was made, and unfortunately no notice was given me until the
greater portion of the interment about to be described was disturbed by
the workman employed. The mode of sepulture was evidently similar to
that mentioned as having been discovered at Keymer and Hurstpier-
point rsee " S. A. C," Vol. XXXVI., page 243). At about four feet
from the surface of the ground was a kind of cist, formed of blocks of
chalk, united by mortar. There was a place for the head to lie in, formed
of three blocks of chalk, with a wider space for the shoulders and narrow-
ing to the feet. Within this receptacle lay a skeleton. The body had
been buried lying east and west, the. head in the latter direction, lu

the leg bones remained in situ, 1 made careful inquiry of the workman

who found the remains, but was assured that there was nothing but
bones discovered, no traces of metal or pottery being apparent. The
most curious feature of the interment is the way in which two of Ihe
blocks of chalk were cut away, this evidently having been 'done to admit
the shoulders. I have secured one of these shaped blocks for our
Museum. About a foot to the north-west of this cist another grave was
found. This did not appear to have been a cist burial, and was left
undisturbed. Both graves were about four or five feet below the surface,
the first two feet being ordinary garden mould, and the lower portion of
chalk rubble.

ROMAN COIN FOUND NEAR LEWES.
Among the numerous additions to our Museum during 1889 is a small
silver Roman coin, dug up on land lying to the west of H.M. Civil
Prison, Lewes, and presented by Mr. C. T. Phillips. Mr. J. C. Lucas
has kindly furnished the following description : —
Obverse : Head of Victoria Alata, with hair neatly braided, and behind
the head the letters S (Senatus), C (^Consulto). Reverse : A Winged
Victory, guiding a galloping quadriga, beneath CARISI. It was coined
by T. Carisius in remembrance of the Spanish campaign, a.d. 30-40, and
is what is known as a " Family coin." It is in good preservation.

INTERESTING ARGHjEO LOGICAL DISCOVERY NEAR
BRIGHTON.
In January, 1888, while some labourers were at work digging for flints
upon the Downs, they came upon several urns, embedded at a depth of
rather more than three feet from the surface, and containing a number of
coins. Mr. Henry Willett having been informed of the discovery, at
once communicated with Mr. Henry Griffith, our Hon. Sec, and he has
had the spot where the find occurred examined, with the result that some
Roman remains were found, including a portion of a quern and fragments
of fine Samian ware, all of which indicate an extensive Roman occupa-
tion. It is proposed to make a thorough examination of the site.
Nothing of great importance was found. The coins, which were in a very
poor condition, are apparently of the second century after Christ. It is
much to be hoped that all future discoveries of a similar kind may, in
the same way, be promptly reported to the Hon. Sec, in order that steps
may be taken to preserve objects of antiquarian interest, and also that a
record of such finds may be inserted in the volumes of the '' Sussex
Archaeological Collections."

A BIT OF OLD BRIGHTON.
" During the past few days, on digging out the foundations of some
old houses situated on the northern side of Nile Street, which have been
removed preparatory to the erection of some new offices and vaults which
Mr. T. Simpson, architect, has designed for Messrs. Findlater, Mackie,
and Co., the workmen of Alderman J. J. G. Saunders, who has been
entrusted with the erection of the new buildings, came upon, just below
the surface, a massive piece of old wall, upon which the superstructure
of one of the Nile Street houses had been erected. The piece of wall
unearthed was betweeh 2ft and 3ft. thick, and somewhat in the form of
the letter H, the materials of which it was composed being flints and a
kind of mortar or cement, and so closely welded that special means had to
be adopted to separate them. It has been conjectured, and with some
probability, that the old wall formed part of the foundations of a build-
ing which was many years ago known as the Prior's Lodge. This
. Lodge, which was occupied by two or three officiating monks, was at-
tached to the chauntry or free chapel, built in about the thirteenth century,
by the Prior of St. Pancras, Southover, and dedicated to St. Bartholomew,
hence the name of the neighbouring * Bartholomews.* This chapel was
almost wholly destroyed by fire by the French in 1513. Some almshouses
were subsequently built upon its site ; but the northern portion and its
adjuncts, which included the Prior's Lodge, and covered a portion of
what is now known as Nile Street, was htted up as the residence of the
then Vicar of Brighthelmstone. In 1790 the Prior's Lodge was pulled
down by the Rev. Thomas Hudson, who had then just been collated to the
Vicarage, and who built himself a new residence on its site, and it was
regarded * as one of the neatest and best contrived in the place.' It
was vacated in 1835, by the Rev. H. M. Wagner, when the present
Vicarage in Montpelier Road was completed. Nile Street was most
probably projected after Mr. Hudson had built his residence, and the old
outlying foundations of the Prior's Lodge covered up. The street,
perhaps, was completed, or re-named, in 1798, the year- of Nelson's
victory of the Nile. Modern Brightonians would scarcely regard Nile
Street as a desirable residential locality ; but in 1800— the marine front
was then innocent of its present palatial buildings — ^four of the occupiers

Two are French coins, of the age of Elizabeth ; and one is an old Roman
Catholic token, of uncertain date." — Brighton Herald, July 21, 1888.

THE BELLS OF 80UTH0VEB OHUBGH.
The following commnnication from Mr. W. Banks shonld, I think,
find a place in onr " Notes and Queries."— Ed. " S. A. C."
" Writing in the Sussex Advertiser some time back, ' W. B.,' of
Lewes, stated : * The existing peal of bells at Southover Church,
given principally by the Yerrall family, were first hang in October,
1 839, by Markwick, of Uckfield, and cast by the celebrated founders,
Messrs. Mears, of *Whitechapel.^ There is but one ringer, I believe,
at the present time living in Lewes who took part in the ceremony,
viz., Benjamin Burfield, who rung his first peal at Southover Church
on the accession of George lY . Doubtless there will be a peal during
the month, to celebrate the jubilee of such a generous gift, on the
beautiful peal of the eight bells of Southover, given by the following
donors, each bell bearing a separate name, with that of Thomas
Mears, founder, London, viz. : 1, the gift of Henry Yerrall, 1839 ;
2 and 3, the gift of good people, 1839 ; 4, the gift of the Yerrall
family, 1839 ; 6, Mr. Yerrall, Gabriel Eagles, churchwarden, 1839 ;
6, the Rev. John Soobell, rector, 1839; 7, the gift of William
Yerrall, Esq., in memory of his father, 1839 ; 8, the gift of William
Yerrall, Esq., Lord of the Manor, 1839. It is rare that a peal of
bells in such churches as that of Southover, with a peal of eight, all
bear one dat^. Where prior bells have existed generally one or more
escape destruction. It may be interesting to many to know that in
1738 Samuel Knight cast a peal of six bells for Southover Church,
which were afterwards recast and made into eight. The old parish
books contain an account of their casting in 1738. At a public
meeting, held in the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist, South-
over, on Wednesday, the 27th day of September, it was agreed to
send the four bells belonging to the said parish, by Captain William
Headley, to London, in order to be newly cast. A copy is then given
of the subscriptions for casting the four old bells and adding two new
ones. Southover gave £62 10s. 6d. ; Lewes and Cliffe, £97 19s. 3d.
(of which Mr. Edward Trayton gave one bell, value £32 Os. 6d.) ;
country gentlemen, £57 14s. The parish was allowed £5 per cwt.
for the old bells, and gave £6 per cwt. for the new. The weight of
the tenor of this peal was 17cwt. 3qr. 201b. ; total cost of bells,

£378 3s. Qid. Allowed for old bells, £158 5s. 9d.'— Monday, the
28th October, 1889, was the 50th anniversary of the hanging of the
bells, upon which the first peal was mng by the following : Messrs.
Wells, 1 ; Tester, 2 ; Main waring, 3 ; Harvey, 4 ; Box, 5 ; Hargrave,
6; Holcroft, 7 (all of Brighton) ; and Mark wick, tenor (of Uckfield).
Later on the same day a peal was mng by several Lewes men, in-
cluding Benjamin Burfield, who is still alive, and in his 88th year.
As * W. B. ' rightly anticipated, a peal was rung on the 28th October,
1889, one of the ringers being Mr. Burfield, who is a campanologist of
69 years* standing. A supper took place in the evening at the King's
Head Inn, when Mr. Churchwarden Grates presided. He was sup-
ported by Mr. W. Hillman, Mr. Thomas Goldsmith, and Mr. J.
Lusted, jun. The vice-chairman was the veteran (Ben. Burfield).
The Rector provided a bountiful supply of fruit, and Mr. F. Verrall
handsomely contributed to the evening's entertainment."

SC/SSEX PUBLIC LIB EAR FES.
The following extract from a chapter on " Our Old Public Libraries "
in " The Gentleman's Magazine, Library Volume of Literary Curiosities
and Notes," p. 142, is inserted here not only because it throws light
upon the literary history of Sussex — by no means a flattering one —
but also in hopes that it may elicit information as to the condition of any
county libraries similar to those referred to, the existence of which may
not be generally known : —
" At Lewes, in Sussex, the incumbent of St. Ann's parish in 1707 gave
some hundred volumes to the Grammar School, but in trust for public
use. The original catalogue exists, but the books have disappeared. The
late master turned them over to the town constables, and they were at
last sold for £57 to buy a fire engine.
<* At Steyning, in Sussex, the late master of the Grammar School was
himself allowed to appropriate the old books, which were sold at the
disposal of his effects by public auction. Some competition took place
on this occasion for an Isaac Walton, given by the sage angler himself
to that school some 200 years ago.
" In Sussex this whole subject is understood to have been zealously
taken up by the Archaeological Society, whose efforts will doubtless be
successful in bringing many more of these institutions to light in that
county."
In note 46 at p. 329, the Editor adds : — " I do not find that the Sussex
Archaeological Society has yet published anything specially on the
libraries of the county. The series of papers on the parochial history of
certain places contain notes on the special local libraries."

PLANS OF HURSTMONCEUX CASTLE.
Among the water-colour drawings and engravings illustrating the
County, in possession of the Sussex Archaeological Society (now number-
ing about 200), are some plans of the above historic house, drawn by
James Lambert, jun., about 1790. These are being mounted and arranged
by Mr. Somers Clarke, and when finished will well repay an inspection by
anyone desirous of seeing the details of the interior of the long^dismantled
Castle. In "Worthies of Sussex," at page 133, there is an undated
letter from Sir William Burrdl, addressed to a gentleman, it would
appear — as Mr. Lower suggests — to have been the Rev. William Hayley,
to whom he refers as ** the antiquarian rector of Brightling." In this
letter the following passage occurs : — " Lord Dacre's veneration for the
memory of Sir Roger Fiennes, has induced him to have exact drawings
made, by Lambert, of the diflferent courts of that venerable mansion of
flurstmonceux, the great hall, kitchen, &c., at the expense of 110
guineas ; he has been so obliging as to allow me to have a copy, upon
which I have employed a very eminent artist, and shall be happy in
showing it Mr. Hayley if amusement or business brings him to London."
It would seem to be extremely probable that the plans in possession
of the Sussex Archaeological Society, to which reference has been made,
may be the original sketches from which Lambert made his " exact
drawings," and if so they are valuable as well as interesting.

LOCAL PRESENTATION TO THE SOCIETTS MUSEUM.
Among other gifts recently made to the Sussex Archaeological Society,
notice should be directed to a presentation by the Churchwardens of St.
Thomas- a-Becket, Cliffe, per Mr. S. Tanner, of the great wheel of CliflFe
Church clock, made in 1670 by James Looker, of Ditchling, blacksmith.
The clock cost £5 10s. Only one other of the original wheels and frame
of the clock are now (1st May, 1889) in existence in the tower. The
minute hand was added to the clock in 1817, by Hooker.
