This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search

London  having  been  created  by  a  recent  Act  a  separate  county,  the 
tokens  of  Middlesex  are  reduced  by  the  whole  of  those  issued  in  the 
new  County  of  London. 

The  tokens  of  Middlesex  are,  however,  numerous,  and  the  Editor 
had  every  hope  of  making  them  a  series  of  peculiar  interest  from 
the  presence  of  numerous  notes  on  the  issuers.  A  series 
of  fatalities  has,  however,  befallen  the  bulk  of  the  notes.  The 
originals  of  some  were  passed  on  for  correction  to  a  brother 
collector  who,  in  a  change  of  residence,  entirely  lost  sight  of  them, 
and  others  in  the  possession  of  another  helper  were  accidentally 
committed  to  the  flames.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  many  of  these  notes 
had  been  collected  from  odd  sources  abroad  many  years  ago,  it  was 
impossible  to  replace  them,  and  the  Editor  is  therefore  obliged,  with 
much  regret,  to  present  the  county  of  Middlesex  corrected  up  as 
closely  as  possible,  but  containing  very  few  notes  as  to  issuers. 

It  has  too  frequently  happened  in  relation  to  Middlesex  that  the 
absorbing  interest  of  London  has  prevented  much  attention  being 
given  to  those  portions  of  the  county  which  are  not  considered  por- 
tions of  the  Metropolis. 

Up  to  the  present  time  no  collector  has  been  found  who  will 
systematically  investigate  the  history  of  many  of  the  Middlesex 
tokens,  and  a  fair  field  is  open  full  of  many  choice  opportunities  to  a 
zealous  investigator  of  archaeological  lore. 

To  Mr.  H.  S.  Gill,  J.  P.,  of  Tiverton  ;  Mr.  Gerard  E.  Hodgkin,  of 
Richmond,  and  Mr.  Luther  Clements,  of  Peckham,  the  Editor  is 
indebted  for  aid  in  compiling  the  county  list,  and  up  to  the  discoveries 
of  the  present  date  it  is  believed  it  will  be  found  accurate  and 
complete. 

Several  places  issuing  tokens  are  added  to  those  mentioned  by 
Boyne,  including  Finchley,  Heston,  Knightsbridge,  Newington  Green, 
Turnham  Green,  and  Walham  Green. 

Of  new  tokens  and  varieties  eighty-two  have  been  added  to  Boyne's 
list,  raising  the  aggregate  from  179  to  261. 

There  are  no  town  pieces  amongst  the  number,  and  there  is  but 
one  penny  token  issued  at  Stoke  Newington. 

Eight  of  the  tokens  are  of  unusual  shapes ;  one  issued  at  Acton  is 
octagonal,  and  the  Knightsbridge  one  is  the  same  shape. 

Two  issued  at  Hampton  Court  are  heart-shaped,  and  also  one 
Hoxton  token  and  one  Mimms  token  are  of  this  picturesque  shape.

RADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

One  Hampton  token  is  square,  and  another  Hoxton  token  is 
diamond-shaped 

The  series  embraces  two  issues  of  the  greatest  possible  rarity. 

The  token  of  the  Toy  at  Hampton  Court  is  the  rara  avis  of  all 
collectors,  while  Mr.  Hodgkin's  specimen  of  the  Chelsea  College 
token  is  believed  to  be  unique. 

Many  of  the  inns  which  issued  their  tokens  are  still  in  existence, 
amongst  which  may  be  mentioned  the  Gate  House,  Angel,  and  Red 
Lion,  at  Highgate ;  the  Mother  Red  Cap,  at  Holloway ;  the  White 
Lion,  Islington ;  the  World's  End,  Shadwell,  and  others. 

The  very  rare  pattern  piece  issued  in  1644  in  the  city  of  London 
is  retained  in  the  list,  although  not  strictly  belonging  to  the  series,  but 
it  is  a  piece  of  unusual  beauty  and  peculiar  interest.

R.  A  view  of  the  college. 

Chelsea  College  was  founded  in  1610  by  Dr.  Matthew  Sutcliffe,  Dean  of  Exeter, 
"  to  this  intent,  that  learned  men  might  there  have  maintenance  to  answere  all  the 
adversaries  of  religion."  Archbishop  Laud  called  it  Controversy  College,  and  the 
Roman  Catholics  in  derision  gave  it  the  name  of  an  alehouse.  After  the  death  of 
the  third  Provost,  Dr.  Slater,  suits  were  commenced  in  the  Court  of  Chancery 
respecting  the  title,  when  it  was  decided  that  Dr.  SutcliftVs  estates  should  revert 
to  their  rightful  heirs,  upon  their  paying  to  the  college  certain  sums  of  money. 
The  college  buildings  were  afterwards  devoted  to  various  inappropriate  purposes, 
being  at  one  time  used  as  a  receptacle  for  prisoners,  and  at  another  as  a  riding- 
house. 

In  1667  (the  year  in  which  this  token  was  issued)  Evelyn  delivered  by  order  to 
the  Royal  Society  the  possession  of  Chelsea  College  as  a  gift  from  Charles  IL.  It 
was  afterwards  repurchased  by  that  monarch  (but  query  if  the  purchase-money 
was  ever  paid),  and  its  site  utilized  for  the  present  hospital.  ' 
.  It  does  not  seem  at  all  clear  for  what  purpose  or  by  whom  the  farthing  was 
issued,  but  it  may  be  mentioned  that  tokens  were  issued  by  the  authorities  of  New- 
gate Prison  and  Christ's  Hospital    [London,  Nos.  2043  and  632-3] 

A  specimen  is  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  J.  Eliot  Hodgkin,  F.S.A.,  and  is  probably 
unique.     Notes  and  Queries^  7th  S.,  March  10,  1888,  p.  185.

The  house  whence  these  tokens  were  issued  was  a  favourite  resort  of  Londoner! 
until  1857,  when  it  was  pulled  down  to  make  room  for  private  houses.  Lysons 
remarks  ("  Historical  Account  of  Parishes  in  Middlesex,"  p.  75) :  "  In  thesurvej 
of  1653  (in  the  Augmentation  Office),  mention  is  made  of  a  piece  of  pasture] 
ground  near  the  river,  called  the  Toying  place,  the  site,  probably,  of  a  well-known 
inn  near  the  bridge,  now  called  the  Toy. 

This  is  the  only  instance  of  the  sign  of  the  Toy  given  in  Larwood  and  Hottcn'l 
"  History  of  Sign-boards "  (p.  505) ;  but  they  mention  a  Hoop  and  Toy  in 
Brompton. 

Specimens  of  the  token  are  no  less  scarce  than  those  of  the  sign.  I 

The  Toy  continued  to  be  a  favourite  resort  for  visitors  to  Hampton  Court  Palace 
till  the  year  1857  ;  it  was  then  converted  into  three  dwelling-houses.

"  So  we  rode  easily  through,  and  only  drinking  at  Hollo  way,  at  the  sign  of  a 
woman  with  cakes  in  one  hand  and  a  pot  of  ale  in  the  other,  which  did  give  good 
occasion  of  mirth." — Pepys,  September  25,  1661. 
Formerly  the  following  verses  accompanied  this  sign : 
"  Old  Mother  Redcap,  according  to  her  tale, 
Lived  twenty  and  a  hundred  years  by  drinking  this  good  ale  ; 
It  was  her  meat,  it  was  her  drink,  and  medicine  beside  ; 
And  if  she  still  had  drank  this  ale,  she  never  would  have  died."

The  tokens  of  this  county  are  few  in  number,  and  are  all  of  late 
date  ;  the  earliest  was  issued  in  the  year  of  the  Restoration.  Snell- 
ing  gives  the  token  of  William  Meredith,  of  Caerleon,  as  a  town- 
piece,  but  he  was  mistaken. 

In  the  former  edition  fifteen  tokens  were  described.  The  following 
list,  besides  corrections,  includes  five  additional  descriptions 

The  county  of  Monmouth  distinguished  itself  during  the  Civil 
War  by  its  strong  adherence  to  the  cause  of  the  King,  due  no  doubt 
to  the  influence  and  example  of  its  most  worthy  noblemen,  the 
Marquis  of  Worcester  and  his  son,  whose  loyalty  and  devotion  to  the 
royal  cause  cost  them  so  dearly.  The  tokens  of  the  county  bear 
witness  to  the  feelings  of  its  inhabitants  by  the  mottoes  and  objects 
represented  on  their  obverse  and  reverse,  viz,  the  King's  head,  the 
Prince  of  Wales's  plumes,  and  the  portcullis,  which  was  the  crest  of 
the  Marquis  of  Worcester.

For  many  of  the  notes  on  issuers  of  Norfolk  and  Norwich  tokens 
we  are  greatly  indebted  to  Mr.  E.  A.  Tillett's  (privately  printed) 
"Norfolk  Tokens."  We  have  also  to  thank  the  Rev.  C.  R.  Manning 
and  other  contributors  for  their  valuable  assistance. 

The  number  of  seventeenth-century  tokens  issued  in  the  county  of 
Norfolk  and  city  of  Norwich  was  very  large — greater,  in  fact,  than  any 
other  county,  excepting  Middlesex,  Surrey,  Kent,  and  Yorkshire — 
and  is  just  about  equal  with  Suffolk,  there  being  over  350  issues  and 
varieties,  from  upwards  of  fifty  towns  and  villages.  No  fancy  shapes 
occur,  the  tokens  being  round  in  shape  and  mostly  farthings,  only  a 
few  halfpence  and  no  pence  being  issued  Norwich,  with  over  a 
hundred  issuers,  produced  nothing  but  farthings.  Town-pieces  (all 
farthings)  were  issued  in  Norwich  (three  dates),  Yarmouth  (two 
dates).  Lynn  Regis  (two  dates),  and  Cley  and  Diss  one  each.  All  of 
these  bear  the  arms  of  their  towns  excepting  that  of  Cley,  which 
has  an  anchor  and  a  horseshoe  on  the  obverse  and  reverse  sides 
respectively. 

Many  tavern  signs  are  borne  upon  the  tokens  of  Norfolk,  among 
which  we  find  the  Anchor,  Bell,  Bull,  Cross  Keys,  Crown,  Cock, 
Dove,  Eagle  and  Child,  Feathers,  Grapes,  George  and  Dragon, 
Horse,  King's  Head,  Lion,  Lamb,  Man-in-the-Moon,  Rose,  Swan, 
Sun,  Wounded  Hart,  etc. ;  also  showing  trade  emblems  of  their 
issuers,  as  a  ship,  shuttle,  sugarloaf,  man  dipping  candles,  jug,  scales, 
mortar,  stocking,  key,  woolcomb,  trowel,  helmet,  fleece,  crossed 
swords,  spade,  wheatsheaf,  sheaf  of  arrows,  etc.  We  must  not,  how- 
ever, accept  the  symbol  upon  the  token  as  necessarily  showing  the 
issuer  to  be  an  innkeeper,  or  that  the  sign  actually  represented  his 
trade,  nearly  all  traders  using  a  distinctive  sign  of  their  own :  for 
instance,  we  have  in  Asby  the  haberdashers'  arms  and  a  bull's  head 
on  the  same  coin,  a  Lynn  woolcomber  has  a  rose,  Cooper  of  Nor- 
wich has  a  king's  head  and  a  full-blown  rose ;  L.  Goodwyn,  confec- 
tioner, lived  at  the  Golden  Camel ;  and  so  we  have  many  others.  A 
few  of  these  old  signs  are  still  in  existence.  In  Norwich  we  have 
the  Golden  Key,  Grasshopper,  and  Fleece,  still  shown  as  old  trade 


A  few  issuers  indulged  in  monogram,  and  a  larger  number  were 
content  with  their  (and  often  their  wife's)  initials  only,  or,  conjointly 
with  date,  merchant's  marks,  and  curious  devices  derived  from  the 
names  of  the  token  issuer  are  also  found  in  limited  numbers.

840      TRADERS1  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

Many  of  the  arms  of  the  guilds  or  companies  are  shown  as  a  device, 
upwards  of  180  of  the  Norfolk  tokens  being  so  treated  The  arms 
of  the  Grocers'  Company  appears  in  sixty-seven,  the  Mercers'  upon 
twelve,  the  Bakers'  upon  five,  the  Drapers'  and  Tallowchandlers'  four 
each,  the  Apothecaries'  and  Merchant  Tailors'  three  each,  the  Black- 
smiths', Haberdashers',  and  Ironmongers'  two  each,  and  the 
Coopers',  Cordwainers',  Brewers',  Dyers',  Fruiterers',  Upholsterers', 
and  Weavers'  one  each.  The  arms  of  the  city  of  Norwich  and  of  the 
Duke  of  Norfolk  are  also  shown.  Some  few  use  the  armorial  bear- 
ings of  their  own  families. 

The  whole  of  the  large  series  of  Norfolk  tokens  was  issued  from 
1650  to  167 1,  these  being  the  earliest  and  latest  dates  known  among 
them. 

We  believe  the  tokens  shown  on  the  plate  illustrating  the  issue  of 
this  county  (kindly  given  by  J.  J.  Colman,  Esq.,  M.P.)  have  not  been 
previously  engraved  in  an>  published  work.

Queen  Mary,  we  find  that  the  amount  paid  by  John  Tucke  was  £1  6s.  3d. ;  by 
Thomas  Willis,  £2  17s.  iod.,  and  that  Martin  Tucke  was  one  of  the  collectors.

This  token  has  been  placed  to  Masham,  in  Yorkshire,  but  as  it  is  similar  to  the 
00c  issued  by  Havkins,  of  Aylsham,  I  have  claimed  it  for  the  above  village,  which 
is  near  Aylsham.  The  token  issued  by  Charles  Clarke,  of  Movsham,  probably 
belongs  to  Moulsham,  in  Essex,  and  not  to  Marsham,  as  stated  in  Boyne's  former

was  intended  to  represent  the  sign  of  the  Adam  and  Eve,  which  was  to  be  found 
in  Norwich  in  the  seventeenth  century,  and  not  the  Fruiterers'  arms.  Tames

The  family  of  Briggs  had  long  been  settled  in  Norfolk,  and  originally  resided  at 
Sail,  near  Reepham.  As  there  were  two  Augustine  Briggs,  father  and  son,  living 
in  Sl  Peter  Mancroft,  Norwich,  at  this  time,  we  cannot  positively  say  which  was 
die  issuer.  The  father,  who  was  bom  in  161 7,  was  a  strenuous  supporter  of  King 
Charles,  was  Sheriff  in  1660,  Mayor  in  1670,  and  M.P.  in  1677.  He  died  in  1684, 
and  was  buried  in  St  Peter  Mancroft  Church,  where  his  monument,  which  has 
been  engraved  by  Blomefield,  remains.  He  was  admitted  to  the  freedom  of  the 
city,  as  a  grocer,  in  1644.  The  son,  who  was  sworn  a  freeman  in  1674,  was 
Sheriff  in  1685,  Mayor  in  1695,  and  was  buried  at  St.  Peter's  in  1704.  He  married 
Etiabeth  Cock,  which  may  account  for  the  device  upon  the  token,  but  the  dates 
would  point  to  the  father  as  the  issuer.  For  a  pedigree  of,  and  much  information 
lehnve  to  the  family,  see  Bloraefield's  "  History  of  Norwich,"  p.  640.  Briggs 
Street  probably  takes  its  name  from  this  family.

James  Brockden,  "Spurryer,"  was  admitted  to  the  freedom  of  the  city  in  1636. 
He  resided  in  Mancroft,  and  was  churchwarden  in  1652.  We  find  that  several 
tpprentices,  as  well  as  sons,  of  James  Brockden,  were  admitted  as  mercers ;  leading 
one  to  infer  that  there  were  two  of  that  name,  the  one  a  spurrier,  the  other  a 
vercer,  but  this  needs  confirmation.  He  was  Sheriff  in  1679,  and  died  in  1680. 
Ha  widow,  Rebecca,  died  in  1686.  Both  were  buried  in  St.  Peter  Mancroft. 
The  castle  on  the  token  is  triple  towered,  like  that  in  the  city  arms,  to  which  the 
device  00  the  token  probably  alludes,  although  it  may  be  that  Brockden  lived  at 
fe  sign  of  the  Castle,  which  was  common  in  Norwich  in  the  seventeenth 
ceatary.

Robert  Brown,  tailor,  apprentice  of  Robert  Brown,  was  admitted  a  citizen  in

in  1665,  and  was  buried  in  the  south  aisle  of  the  church  of  that  parish,  in  which  in

We  do  not  find  James  Castill's  admission  to  the  freedom  of  the  city.  John 
Castle,  a  worsted- weaver,  was  sworn  a  freeman  in  1656.  In  1664  Mr.  Tames

"  Robert  Claiton  Iron  munger,"  apprentice  to  John  Salter,  Esq.,  was  admitted 
to  the  freedom  of  the  city  on  March  26,  166 1.  He  was  rated  in  no  less  than  six 
parishes,  viz.,  St.  Andrew,  St.  Paul,  St.  Michael  Coslany,  St.  Stephen,  St.  Julian, 
and  St.  Peter  Mancroft.  In  1664  he  purchased  the  house  in  St.  Julian's  in  which  he 
then  resided.  It  was  situate  in  St.  Ann's  Lane,  on  the  south  side,  at  the  back  of 
the  premises  called  "  Middaies,"  and  had  orchards  and  gardens  running  down  to 
the  river.  He  was  Sheriff  of  the  city  in  1672,  in  which  year  he  died,  and  was 
buried  at  St.  Peter  Mancroft.

was  sworn  a  freeman  in  1660,  and  was  a  worsted -weaver  by  trade.  He  was  rated

A  John  Hutton,  worsted-weaver,  was  admitted  a  freeman  in  1618,  but  this  date 
is  probably  too  early  for  the  admission  of  the  issuer.  Giles  Hutton,  haberdasher, 
and  Nicholas  Bickerdike,  haberdasher  of  small  wares,  and  apprentices  of  John 
Button,  were  respectively  admitted  in  1638  and  1662.  The  "  wid.  Heaster  Hutton  "

of  the  issuer,  for  many  years  afterwards.

The  Mingay  family  was  of  considerable  respectability,  and  had  long  been  settled

Anthony  was  the  son  of  Roger  Mingay,  who  was  Sheriff  in  1653,  and  Mayor  in 

1658.  He  was  a  grocer  by  trade,  was  admitted  to  the  freedom  of  the  city  in  1661, 
and  resided  in  St.  Peter  Mancroft  from  1659  to  1667,  but  subsequently  lived  in

The  above  description  of  the  device  upon  this  token  has  been  hitherto  adopted, 
and  we  cannot  suggest  a  better,  but  the  two  so-called  piccadillies  are  clearly 
shuttles.    This  is  confirmed  by  the  fact  that  Richard  Morant  was  a  worsted-weaver.

The  last-described  token  is  without  doubt  an  error  on  the  part  of  the  die-sinker. 
Jeremy  Vynn,  apprentice  to  Thomas  Garret,  was  sworn  a  freeman  September  22, 
1656.  He  resided  in  St.  Peter  Mancroft,  and  was  overseer  there  in  1605.  He  was 
Sheriff  in  1677,  Mayor  in  1690,  and  died  on  December  I,  1705,  aged  73.  He  is 
boned  in  a  rank  at  the  entrance  to  St.  Luke's  Chapel  in  the  cathedral  He  appears 
to  have  had  three  wives,  Priscilla,  Elizabeth,  and  Susan ;  the  two  former  were  buried

From  1659  to  1663  Nicholas  Withers  was  rated  in  St.  Andrew's,  and  was  over- 
seer in  the  lormer  year.  In  1667  he  resided  in  SS.  Simon  and  Jude's.  In  the 
August  of  that  year  Nicholas  Withers,  wool-comber,  was  bound  over  to  appear  at 
the  next  sessions  of  the  peace  for  abusing  his  office  as  an  overseer  of  SS.  Simon 
and  Jude,  John  Spendlove  and  others  being  bound  over  to  give  evidence.  The 
proceedings  were  subsequently  removed  by  certiorari,  at  the  instance  of  Withers, 
into  the  Court  of  King's  Bench.  He  appears  to  have  afterwards  removed  into 
St.  Clement's,  for  in  1672  a  license  was  granted  to  Martin  Finch  to  be  a  Congre- 
gational teacher  in  the  house  of  Nicholas  Withers  in  St.  Clement's  parish  in 
Norwich.     Withers's  house  was  also  licensed  at  the  same  time.

Augusti  163a"  He  lived  in  St.  Peter  Mancroft,  and  was  buried  in  the  north 
aisle  of  the  church  there  on  August  3,  1677.  His  wife,  Margaret,  and  several 
of  their  children,  were  also  buried  there.  In  the  Norfolk  and  Norwich  Museum  is 
a  jug  of  Lambeth  ware,  upon  which  is  the  date  1649  and  the  Grocers'  arms  between 

the  initials  E  .  W  *  m.    This  jug  in  all  probability  belonged  to  the  family. 

The  large  wine-jar  of  which  a  representation  is  here  given  was  evidently  made 
for  Edward  and  Margaret  Woodyard.  Two  specimens  are  in  existence,  both 
exhumed  at  Norwich  ;  one  is  in  the  museum  there,  and  the  other  in  the  possession 


of  Mr.  J.  E.  Hodgkin,  F.S.A.  The  smaller  jars  of  the  same  shape,  made  like 
those  at  Lambeth,  and  marked  Claret,  Sack,  and  Whit  (whit),  are  well  known 
and  highly  valued.  It  is  very  seldom  that  they  bear  initials,  but  most  of  them  are 
dated,  the  dates  ranging  between  1643  and  1609.

Thomas  Warmell,  grocer,  apprentice  to  Robert  Tharrold  {vide  No.  206),  was 
adnritted4to  the  freedom  of  the  city  on  January  7,  1661.  The  reverse  of  this  token

The  name  of  "  Youngs,"  or  "  Younges,"  was  very  common  in  Norwich  at  the 
period  of  the  issue  of  the  seventeenth-century  tokens,  but  we  have  not  met  with  the 
sane  "Youngest." 

The  above  are  all  the  Norwich  traders*  tokens  now  known  to  exist.  There  is  an 
entry  in  the  Mayoralty  Court  Books  under  date  of  November,  1668,  which  shows 
that  Thomas  Allen,  a  worsted-weaver,  was  bound  over  to  appear  at  the  next 
sextons  "for  putting  out  halfe  penoyes  of  brasse  w*  y*  Cityes  Amies  on  them," 
bat  no  specimen  of  Allen's  tokens  has  come  to  our  hands. 

There  is  also  another  token  which  may  belong  to  Norwich,  but  which  has  been 
placed  to  Derbyshire.  It  was  issued  by  John  Lowe,  butcher,  Hiegham,  in  1669, 
and  is  heart-shaped.  A  Thomas  Lowe  was  a  butcher  in  Hiegham-next-Norwich 
from  1654  to  1667  ;  and  a  John  Lowe  was  rated  in  St.  Benedict's,  the  adjoining 
parish,  in  Norwich.  The  token,  however,  being  heart-shaped,  of  which  shape 
there  are  no  Norfolk  tokens,  and  later  in  date  than  any  Norwich  token,  I  have  not 
thought  the  evidence  sufficiently  strong  to  place  it  in  the  Norwich  list. 

The  earliest  reference  to  the  tokens  in  the  Corporation  records  is  as  follows  : 

"21*  day  of  July  1666. 

"  It  is  ordered  the  Belman  doe  forthwith  proclayme  in  y°  Markett  and  all  publiq' 
places  through  this  City  that  noe  tradesman  or  shopkeep'  do  refuse  to  take  any 
farthings  that  are  of  their  owne  stampe  vpon  the  penalty  to  be  proceeded  ag1  ac-

partly  over  the  w,  thus  :

No  tradesmen's  tokens  were  issued,  so  far  as  is  known,  except  that  of  Allen's, 
above  alluded  to,  after  the  6rst  of  these  city  tokens  made  its  appearance  in  1667. 
The  first  entry  in  the  books  of  the  Corporation  of  Norwich,  relative  to  the  issue  of 
the  above-mentioned  civic  tokens,  is  dated  September  28,  1667.    We  learn  from  it

868     TRADERS1  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

that  Christopher  Jay,  Esq.,  M.P.,  was  desired  when  next  in  London  to  advise 
about  coining  farthings  with  the  city  arms  on  one  side  and  Civitas  Norwici  on  the 
other.  It  may  here  be  observed  that  no  specimen  reading  Civitas  Norwici  is  now 
known  ;  all  the  civic  tokens  which  have  been  handed  down  to  us,  and  they  are 
excessively  numerous,  reading  "  A  Norwich  Farthing."  The  Corporation  appear 
to  have  soon  made  up  their  minds  as  to  the  desirability  of  issuing  farthings,  for  on 
November  14  following,  only  six  weeks  after  the  date  of  the  above-mentioned 
order,  Mr.  Jay  is  requested  to  send  for  two  hundredweight  of  farthings  more^  and 
also  to  "  take  care  y*  y6  stamp  of  y"  said  farthings  be  sent  down  ;  and  Sr  Joseph 
Paine  have  promised  to  give  order  to  his  man  Mr  Tho.  ffreeman  at  Mr  Adkins  an 
Apothecary  nere  Quene's  head  Taverne  in  Bishupgate  street  to  pay  54*  io*  to  him 
for  y«  same."  They  appear  to  have  arrived  by  November  29,  for  on  that  date  we 
6nd  the  following  entry  : 

M  It  is  ordered  that  Mr.  Thomas  Cock,  Chamberlin,  shall  forthwith  distribute  the 
city  ffarthings  to  such  p'sons  as  shall  come  to  him  for  them  for  the  value  in  silver. 
And  it  is  resolved  that  noe  publication  thereof  be  made  by  y«  bellman." 

On  December  4  following  the  bellman  was  ordered  to  give  notice  that,  in  the 
event  of  the  farthings  being  called  in  "by  y*  publique  authority  of  this  nation, 
that  the  Chamberlin  of  this  City  shall  take  them  to  the  extent  of  jfioo  at  the 
same  rate  they  are  now  put  out,  the  loss  to  be  borne  by  y*  city." 

In  1668  we  find  the  following  entries,  which,  for  the  most  part,  explain  them- 
selves : 

"  Eighth  day  of  Aprill  1668. 

"  Upon  a  motion  made  that  there  is  a  want  of  ffarthings  and  that  ther  be  more 
sent  for  It  is  agreed  that  a  wrighting  be  drawne  to  take  y*  subscriptions  of  all  such 
p'sons  as  are  willing  to  have  any  and  what  quantity  they  will  have  &  take  againe 
whensoever  they  shalbe  put  downe  by  the  authority  of  the  nation  after  the  City  have 
first  taken  in  one  hundred  pounds  according  to  their  ingagement."  ' 

"  20th  daie  of  June  1668. 

"  That  Mr  Towoeclerke  doe  write  to  Mr  Jay  about  Tobbings  lease  and  400  wayte 
of  Farthings." 

"  20°  Junij  1668. 

"It  is  ordered  that  Edwin  Bensly  the  vnder  chamberlyn  doe  dispose  the  200 
waite  of  Farthings  y*  came  last  Satterday  from  Mr  Jay  at  London  and  pay  the  monie 
to  M'  Aid.  Manser." 

"  8th  daie  of  Julie  1668. 

M  It  is  ordered  that  Mr  Townclerk  doe  wright  to  Mr  Aid.  Jay  at  London  to  send 
downe  400  weight  of  Farthings  hither  by  the  first  opportunity." 

«  23"*  day  of  September  1668. 

"  This  day  Edwyn  Benslyn  Vnderchamberlyn  of  y*  city  brought  in  5U  6s  beinge  y* 
remayne  of  the  last  50"  in  farthings  which  was  put  into  y«  Hamp." 

"  30th  day  of  Sept'  1668. 

"This  day  Mr  Maior  paid  $u  3*  4d  to  Mr  Aid.  Jay  for  the  charge  of  all  Farthings

Hamp.  y*  23th  of  this  Instant  September." 

"  The  third  day  of  October  1668. 

"  That  Edwin  Bensly  have  twenty  shillinges  for  his  paines  in  telling  &  paying 
away  the  ffarthings." 

"21th  day  of  November  1668. 

"That  Mr  Dearing  be  sent  to  to  get  100"  of  farthings  new  stamped  and  that  he 
goe  to  Mr  Jay  for  y«  Stamp." 

"  23th  day  of  io1*  1668. 

"  That  Mr  Townclarke  doe  write  to  Mr  Deeringe  y*  Post  to  send  downe  the 
quantity  of  Farthings  formerly  wrot  for  of  p'fect  copper  and  noe  difference  or  dis-

is  to  be  1668  and  to  be  sent  downe  p'sently." 

We  find  no  further  entries  till  September,  1670.  Norwich,  like  many  other 
places,  appears  to  have  fallen  into  considerable  disgrace  for  having  encroached 
upon  the  royal  prerogative  in  coining  money ;  but,  unlike  some  other  cities, 
escaped  without  a  fine.  The  following  entries  show  the  manner  in  which  the 
royal  favour  was  obtained :

Sheriffs,  Aldermen,  and  commonalty  of  the  said  city  were  penitent,  and  had  caused 
all  halfpennies  and  farthings  to  be  called  in.  The  operative  portion  of  the  pardon 
then  follows.

The  late  Mr.  Wodderspoon,  to  whose  paper  on  the  Norwich  Traders'  and  City 
Tokens  issued  in  the  Seventeenth  Century  we  are  much  indebted,  was  in  error 
when  he  stated  that  Melchior  was  "  a  Jew  dealer  in  metals."  On  the  contrary, 
the  Melchior  family  were  Christian,  and  appear  to  have  been  of  considerable 
respectability.  They  resided  in  St.  John  Maddermarket  and  St.  Stephen,  in  the 
churches  of  which  parishes  will  be  found  inscriptions  to  various  members  of  the 
family.  In  the  former  parish,  if  not  in  the  latter,  they  appear  to  have  taken  an 
interest  in  parish  matters,  having  filled  on  more  than  one  occasion  the  office  of 
church  warden.

/?.  carolus  .  a  .  carolo  =  Bust  of  Charles  II.  I 

This  piece,  of  which  only  one  specimen  is  known,  is  in  pewter,  and  has  been 
considered  by  several  eminent  numismatists  to  be  one  of  the  numerous  patterns 
struck  before  the  issue  of  the  royal  farthings  in  1672.  The  late  Mr.  Burn,  the 
author  of  the  catalogue  of  the  Beaufoy  Collection,  in  the  possession  of  the  Corpor- 
ation of  London,  considered  it  to  be  that  of  Elias  Palmer,  who  submitted  his 
pattern  shortly  after  1665.  The  reverse,  though  similar  to  the  obverse  of  the  regal 
farthing,  is  not  the  same,  but  somewhat  ruder  in  execution. 

In  concluding  these  notes  on  the  Norwich  corporate  tokens,  it  may  be  stated 
that  some  Tears  since  two  leaden  pieces  were  found  in  the  river  Thames ;  both 
have  the  Norwich  arms  on  the  obverse.  One  has  a  portcullis  crowned  on  the 
reverse,  the  other  has  letters,  but  they  are  illegible.  See  "  Norfolk  Archaeology," 
wri.  Hi,  page  190.  Probably  they  belonged  to  the  earlier  leaden  series  of  trades- 
sien's  tokens ;  if  so,  they  are,  we  believe,  the  only  specimens  of  that  series  which 
can  be  positively  appropriated  to  Norfolk.

Edward  Owner  was  born  in  1576,  and  was  member  for  Yarmouth  in  1620, 
1625,  1639,  and  1640,  and  he  was  returned  with  Miles  Corbet,  the  regicide,  during 
the  Long  Parliament.  He  was  Bailiff  in  1625  and  1634.  In  Parliament  he  warmly 
opposed  the  "  ship  money,"  and  was  one  of  those  who  voted  it  illegal.  On  the 
breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War,  he  actively  exerted  himself  to  place  the  town  in  a 
state  of  defence,  towards  which  he  contributed  in  plate  and  money.  He  laboured 
for  the  social  good  of  the  town,  and  it  was  mainly  through  his  exertions  that  the 
Children's  Hospital  School  was  established,  himself  endowing  it  with  £1,500.  He 
died  in  1650,  and  was  buried  in  the  north  aisle  of  St.  Nicholas*  Church.  In  1823 
his  grave  was  opened,  and  his  bones  scattered  for  the  interment  of  another.  The 
issuer  was  probably  a  son  of  the  above.

To  the  places  named  by  Boyne  as  issuing  tokens  the  following  two 
additional  places  have  been  added,  i.e.%  Bowden  and  Whittlebury ; 
while  the  token  attributed  to  Deene  has  been  removed. 

Of  varieties  and  new  tokens,  thirty-nine  have  been  added,  bringing 
ap  the  number  from  138  to  179. 

The  token  of  Welford  is  heart-shaped,  and  also  the  one  of 
Thingden ;  while  the  two  town-pieces  of  Peterborough  and  Herron's 
token  of  Towcester  are  octagonal.  The  remainder  are  of  the  usual 
round  shape.     All  are  halfpence  or  farthings  ;  there  are  no  pennies. 

The  tokens  issued  by  the  "  chamberlaine  "  in  Northampton  are  of 
peculiar  interest,  and  in  Peterborough  a  town-piece  was  issued  by  the 
overseers,  and  changed  by  the  town  bailiff  according  to  the  inscrip- 
tion. 

It  has  been  interesting  to  find  in  the  records  of  Peterborough  the 
original  entry  relating  to  the  issue  of  these  very  overseers'  tokens. 

Nothing  can  be  more  absurd  than  the  varieties  of  spelling  adopted 
by  the  Peterborough  tokeners,  and  particular  notice  in  this-  respect  is 
directed  to  No.  137.  The  use  of  the  word  "Ob.,"  or  "Obolus," 
which  appears  as  the  slang  term  on  No.  146,  is  of  very  rare  occur- 
rence. 

Nos.  166  and  167  were  evidently  the  work  of  the  same  engraver, 
the  style  and  character  of  the  two  tokens  being  exactly  similar. 

The  notes  connect  very  many  of  the  issuers  with  the  local  history, 
and  are  of  particular  value  to  the  local  historian  and  topographer.

Thomas  Norrey  was  buried  February  20,  1687. 

The  lion  is  probably  allusive  to  the  arms  of  a  former  lord  of  the  manor,  Shakerly 
Marmion,  Esq.,  who  sold  the  manor,  in  1615,  to  Richard  Cart w right,  Esq.,  whose

This  borough  returned  two  members  to  Parliament,  until  disfranchised  by  the 
Reform  Bill.  It  was  incorporated  by  Henry  III.  lis  dignities,  at  the  period  of 
the  issue  of  these  tokens,  were  sustained  in  a  very  undignified  manner,  as  thus  de- 
scribed in  Barnaby's  '*  Itinerary  "  : 

*•  From  thence  to  Brackley,  as  did  beseeme  one, 
The  May'r  I  saw,  a  wond'rous  mean  one, 
Sitting,  thatching  and  bestowing 
On  a  wind-blown  house  a  s trowing, 
On  me,  called  he,  and  did  charme  mee, 
Drink  less,  eat  more,  I  doe  warne  thee." 
The  issuer  of  this  token  was  born  at  Buckingham,  which  is  only  seven  miles 
distant  from  Brackley,  and  was  a  member  of  the  local  guild  of  mercers  in  that  town 
in  1675.     He  was  a  celebrated  bell  founder.

"  Corby,  in  Northamptonshire,  is  now  the  largest  parish  of  that  name.  It  was 
and  is  the  Hundred  Town  of  a  large  and  important  district  of  that  county  ;  there 
is  still  preserved  there  a  charter  granted  in  the  time  of  Edward  I.  for  destroying 
wolves.  A  curious  custom  is  still  practised  once  in  twenty  years,  of  stopping  all 
persons  passing  through  the  parish,  and  demanding  a  toll,  which,  if  not  complied 
with,  subjected  them  to  the  unpleasant  necessity  of  being  placed  in  the  stocks,  and 
carried  on  a  pole  round  the  parish.  On  this  celebrated  day  the  boundaries  of  the 
▼ulage  are  also  beaten.  The  name  of  Collingwood  is  not  found  in  the  parish  at 
the  present  day,  but  is  in  the  adjoining  parish  of  Cottingham." — Rev.  John  H.

Amongst  the  freeholders  who  were  assessed  in  respect  to  property  in  this  town

These  initials  are  no  doubt  those  of  John  Twigden,  who  was  Mayor  in  1666. 
He  was  committed  to  the  custody  of  the  Sergeant-at-arms,  and  detained  several 
days,  which  cost  him  £2  per  day,  for  making  a  false  return  of  members  to  serve  in 
Parliament.     For  his  private  business  he  issued  the  following  token  : 

85.  O.    IOHN  .  TWIGDEN  .  IN  =  A  glove. 

&  Northampton  .  i666  =  "Crede  sed  cave."  J 

A  unique  specimen  in  silver  of  this  token  is  in  the  Northampton  Museum.  It 
was  possibly  a  pattern. 

This  token  is  remarkable  for  the  legend  :  "  Believe,  but  take  care,"  as  if  to 
say,  you  may  believe,  or  be  sure  this  coin  is  genuine,  but  take  care  of  others  ;  or 
it  may  mean,  "  Give  credit,  but  observe  caution  in  doing  so."

name  is  Bellamy  ;  her  father  died  about  1804,  and  was  a  baker,  as  was  his  father

The  comic  rhymes  in  Barnabee' s  Journal  will  ever  render  this  place  famous  : 
"  On  a  haycock  sleeping  soundly, 
Th'  river  rose  and  tookc  me  roundly 
Down  the  current ;  people  cryed, 
Sleeping,  down  the  stream  I  hyed  ; 
Where  away,  quoth  they,  from  Greenland  t 
No ;  from  Wansforth  brigs  in  England" 
This  tale  is  still  preserved  at  Wansford,  where  there  was  an  inn  called  the  Hay- 
cock, and  a  painting  of  Barnaby  floating  on  a  haycock,  for  a  sign. 

The  sign  of  the  Haycock  was  taken  down  at  Wansford  in  1889,  *nd  the  inn 
being  the  property  of  the  Duke  of  Bedford,  the  sign  was  removed  to  Woborn 
Abbey. 

The  horrors  of  the  plague  in  1643  at  this  place,  only  twenty  years  before  the 
issue  of  this  token,  are  thus  given  : 

"  Seeing  there,  as  did  become  me, 
Written,  LORD  HAVE  MERCY  ON  ME, 
On  the  port  els,  I  departed, 
Lest  I  should  have  sorer  smarted  ; 
Though  from  death  none  may  be  spared

There  are  only  ten  farthing  tokens  of  this  county,  all  of  them  circulated 
at  Newcastle.  Northumberland,  with  its  northern  neighbours,  Cum- 
berland and  Westmoreland,  issued  very  few  tokens ;  the  neighbour- 
hood of  Scotland  seems  not  to  have  been  propitious  to  them,  though 
they  must  have  been  as  much  needed  there  as  in  the  south. 


NEWCASTLE, 
i.  O.  charles  .  barker  =  The  Mercers'  Arms.

Charles  Barker,  son  of  Francis  Barker,  of  Topcliff  Manor,  co.  York,  and  Gabriel 
Falltborp,  were  apprenticed  to  Alderman  Mark  Milbank ;  tbey  were  both  made

R.  march  ant.  in  .  Newcastle  =  The  Merchant-Adventurers' 
Arms.  \ 

William  Blackett  was  of  a  good  Northumberland  family,  which  he  further 
advanced  by  the  great  wealth  he  gained  by  judgment  and  industry  in  trade,  and  the 
produce  of  his  mines  of  lead  and  coal.  In  1660  he  was  appointed  Sheriff,  and 
afterwards  Alderman  of  Newcastle,  pf  which  he  was  Mayor  in  1666.  He  was 
ekcted  Member  for  Newcastle  in  1673,  and  the  same  year  advanced  to  the 
<tiprity  of  baronet  He  died  in  1680,  and  was  buried  in  St.  Nicholas*  Church, 
Newcastle. 

Of  his  three  surviving  sons,  Edward  succeeded  him  in  the  baronetcy  ;  his  second 
xa,  Michael,  to  the  business ;  and  his  third  son,  William,  also  a  Newcastle  mer- 
chant, was  chosen  Mayor  in  1683  and  1698  ;  he  represented  Newcastle  in  Parlia- 
ment from  1685  to  his  decease  in  1 705.  He  was  advanced  to  the  dignity  of  baronet 
m  1684,  and  High  Sheriff  of  Northumberland  in  1689. 

The  estimation  in  which  the  Blacketts  were  at  this  time  held,  and  the  success 
with  which  their  undertakings  were  crowned,  became  almost  proverbial.  The 
advice  that  a  kind  master  gave  to  his  favourite  apprentice,  and  the  utmost  wish 
tbat  a  father  could  have  for  his  darling  son  was,  that  he  could  be  through  life 
a— William  Blackett.

appears  to  have  been  an  obstinate  man,  in  frequent  trouble  with  the  authorities. 
He  espoused  the  popular  side  during  the  Civil  Wars.

The  name  of  the  late  John  Toplis,  of  Grimsby  Villa,  Nottingham, 
will  be  specially  remembered  in  connection  with  the  following  pages. 

To  him  especially  was  due  the  interest  which  has  been  excited  in 
that  county  for  the  collection  of  its  traders'  tokens. 

He  devoted  very  much  time  and  great  attention  to  the  study,  and 
the  compilation  of  the  ensuing  list  was  almost  entirely  his  work.  He 
was  eager  to  supplement  the  descriptions  by  notes  as  to  the  issuers, 
and  had  commenced  a  careful  search  of  parochial  and  town  records 
for  the  purpose,  when  his  career — so  useful  to  his  native  town  and  so 
valuable  to  his  large  family — was  untimely  cut  short.  As  a  tribute  of 
respect  to  the  memory  of  a  dear  and  valued  friend  the  list  is  presented 
as  he  left  it,  no  further  efforts  being  made  to  obtain  notes  where  his 
memory  lingers  over  all  the  work.  For  much  kindly  aid  and  sympathy, 
and  for  very  thoughtful  help,  the  Editor  is  greatly  indebted  to  him, 
and  in  making  this  inadequate  reference  to  one  whose  removal  has 
been  so  painful  a  loss,  the  Editor  is  impelled  to  express  his  thankful- 
ness for  having  known  for  so  many  years  a  man  so  well  worth  know- 
ing, and  whom  to  know  was  to  respect 

May  he  rest  in  peace ! 

These  tokens  are  principally  halfpennies.  Some  of  them  are  of 
inferior  workmanship,  and  of  a  size  between  halfpennies  and  farthings  ; 
the  following  are  examples :  Henry  Carier,  of  Blyth  and  Nottingham ; 
tokens  of  Berridge,  Burrowes,  Cockinge,  Dodsley,  Farwoorth,  Hodges, 
and  Smith.  The  only  town  piece  is  that  of  Nottingham. — John 
Toplis.

The  Editor  has  in  this  county  also  to  bewail  the  loss  of  assistance 
which  he  had  hoped  to  have  received.  A  correspondent  who  had 
commenced  to  collate  the  tokens  of  the  county,  and  had  done  good 
work  at  the  Bodleian,  was  suddenly  called  to  Africa,  and  in  the  hurry 
of  departure  the  manuscript,  with  the  collation  and  notes,  dis- 
appeared. 

The  entire  work  has  occupied  so  many  years  in  compilation,  that 
the  Editor  cannot  venture  to  keep  his  subscribers  waiting  longer,  and 
is  therefore,  with  much  regret,  obliged  to  leave  noting  this  county  as 
a  heritage  for  future  collectors.  He  has  found  very  few  collectors 
much  interested  in  Oxfordshire  coinage,  and  repeated  letters  in  the 
various  county  journals  have  elicited  no  response  The  collation 
will,  he  trusts,  be  found  accurate ;  and  he  believes  the  list  newly  made 
includes  all  the  known  tokens  of  the  county. 

The  special  feature  of  the  series  is  the  presence  of  unusual  mer- 
chant-marks upon  several  of  the  tokens.  The  two  Witney  issuers 
were  probably  concerned  in  the  staple  trade  of  the  place,  that  of 
wool  and  blankets,  and  the  woolpack,  associated  with  special  trade- 
marks for  denoting  their  own  goods,  appears  on  the  tokens.  Trade- 
marks also  appear  on  tokens  of  Oxford,  Henley,  and  Burford.  A  token 
of  Thomas  Appleby,  of  Oxford,  affords  us  a  mystery,  the  strange  words 
u  Mallia  Cadreene  "  are  a  crux  to  all  token-collectors,  and  the  mystery 
soil  awaits  solution  at  the  hand  of  some  local  investigator.  The 
issuer  was  evidently  a  man  of  some  note,  who  bears  proudly  on  his 
tokens  his  family  achievement 

There  are  town-pieces  struck  at  Burford,  Henley-on-Thames,  and 
Oxford,  and  those  of  the  two  former  places  are  decidedly  marks  of 
some  merit  above  the  average  character.  North  Leigh  gives  us  a 
token  issued  jointly  by  William  and  Ann  Mason,  probably  partners  as 
well  in  trade  as  in  home  life. 

Two  tokens  of  Bicester,  clearly  designed  by  the  same  artist,  are 
teart-shaped,  and  a  token  of  Chipping  Norton,  and  the  one  of 
Barford,  are  of  the  same  unusual  and  interesting  shape. 

In  Oxford  itself  we  have  tokens  issued  at  the  Pestle  and  Mortar, 
foe  Cock,  the  Gilt  Looking-Glass,  the  Bush,  the  Sugar-loaf,  the 
Racket  and  Ball,  the  Three  Kings,  the  Three  Salmons,  the  Fox  and 
Goose,  the  Mermaid,  the  Three  Blackbirds,  the  Golden  Key,  the 
Crown,  the  Salmon,  the  Angel,  the  Bird  and  Hand,  and  the  Spectacles, 
*U  these  signs,  which  form  a  goodly  list,  being  specifically  named ;

922     TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

while  many  others  are  implied  by  device.  There  is  a  peculiarity 
of  the  Oxford  tokens  which  gives  them  a  family  relationship  in 
design,  and  may  betray  the  hand  of  a  common  designer,  and  that  is 
the  presence  on  so  many  of  the  name  of  the  issuer's  trade. 

We  find  tokens  issued  by  the  following  trades :  Chandler,  watch- 
maker, cutler,  milliner,  vintner,  mercer,  brewer,  baker,  glover,  rug- 
maker,  clockmaker,  hosier,  fishmonger,  apothecary,  goldsmith, 
skinner,  ironmonger,  draper  and  clothier,  hotter,  and  silk-weaver— 
milliners  especially  occurring  frequently.  It  is  decidedly  uncommon 
to  have  the  trades  so  emphatically  mentioned  as  they  are  on  these  of 
Oxford,  and  the  fact  is  an  important  feature  of  the  series.  We  find 
reference  made  on  the  tokens  to  the  North  Gate  and  the  Turle  Gate, 
and  to  the  East  Gate.  One  issuer  gives  the  Tennis  Court  as  his 
place  of  residence ;  but  the  only  mention  of  the  colleges  is  on 
No.  167,  where  Lawrence  Short  tells  us  he  lived  "neare  New 
Colledg." 

Four  of  the  issuers  in  Oxford  were  women,  Ann  Turton,  Ann 
Pierson,  Alice  Lant,  Olive  Hind  issuing  tokens. 

The  two  tokens  of  Dunstew  are  very  interesting,  as  their  issuer  was 
a  carrier,  a  trade  very  rarely  mentioned  on  tokens.  This  man, 
Thomas  Barrett,  issued  his  two  tokens — halfpenny  and  farthing — and 
delineates  his  basket-pannier  on  the  tokens.  There  are  many  guild 
arms  represented  in  this  county,  those  of  the  apothecaries,  fruiterers, 
mercers,  pewterers,  grocers,  drapers,  weavers,  bakers,  barbers, 
surgeons,  leathersellers,  vintners,  goldsmiths,  tallowchandlers, 
upholsterers,  cordwainers.  turners,  ironmongers,  brewers,  and  cloth- 
workers,  the  pewterers  and  turners  being  of  rare  occurrence. 

A  token  of  Chipping  Norton,  and  another  of  Henley-on-Thames, 
bear  the  arms  of  the  City  of  Oxford,  but  whether  out  of  compliment 
to  Oxford,  or  as  denoting  any  affiliation  of  corporate  existence,  is  not 
very  clear.     The  circumstance  itself  merits  recognition. 

Punning  devices  occur  on  the  tokens  of  Fawler  in  Chipping 
Norton,  as  he  bears  a  falcon  volant ;  also  of  Groves,  with  the  device 
of  a  wild  man  in  a  grove. 

The  places  issuing  tokens  have  been  increased  in  this  county  by 
four  not  named  by  Boyne,  *>.,  Dorchester,  Ewelme,  Stokenchurch, 
and  Shipton-under-Witchwood ;  while  forty  new  tokens  or  varieties 
have  been  added. 

The  City  of  Oxford  boasts  of  an  unusually  large  number  of  tokens 
for  one  place,  its  record  being  188. 

The  series,  as  a  whole,  awaits  more  adequate  treatment  at  the  hands 
of  some  county  collector. 

The  gold  token  of  Thame  occupies  an  unique  position  in  the 
whole  series  of  tokens  of  the  seventeenth  century.  It  is  the  only 
instance  of  an  issuer  going  to  the  expense  of  striking  a.  proof  of  his 
token  in  gold.  It  is  mentioned  in  the  "  History  of  the  Church  of 
St.  Mary,  Thame,"  by  the  Rev.  F.  G.  Lee,  of  All  Saints',  Lambeth 
(1883),  and  had  been  seen  by  Mr.  Lee  when  in  Mr.  Lupton's 
possession.     It  is  not  known  where  it  is  at  present.

The  seventeen  tokens  of  this  county  are  but  proportionate  to  the 
diminutive  size  of  the  county,  and  not  more  than  would  be  expected 
from  so  quiet  a  county,  possessing  so  few  towns  of  even  medium 
sire.  The  series  present  no  special  feature.  One  token  of  Upping- 
ham, No.  10,  is  heart-shaped  and  of  considerable  rarity.  It  would 
almost  be  imagined  from  the  series  that  the  men  of  greatest  prosperity 
in  the  county  were  the  tallowchandlers,  as  no  less  than  five  out  of 
seventeen  bear  the  device  of  a  chandler  or  the  arms  of  the  company. 
Potterill  of  Oakham  and  Butler  of  Uppingham  bear  their  family 
arms  on  their  tokens,  and  were  evidently  members  of  good  families 
engaged  in  trade.  Three  tokens  are  those  of  halfpence,  the  remainder 
being  farthings. 
The  notes  will  be  found  to  be  of  unusual  interest  and  importance.

The  Goodman  family  had  long  before  the  issue  of  the  token  been  settled  in 
Sorth  Lofienham.     A  Robert  Goodman,  yeoman,  was  here  13  Henry  VIII. 
The  parish  register,  commencing  1565,  supplies  the  following  : 

Baptisms.  1633.  Thomas  fill  Herauld  Goodman,  12  May. 

»         1636.  Mary,  dau.  of  Harrauld  Goodman  &  Ioane,  July  3  ;  bur.

In  a  subsidy  13  and  39  Elizabeth  (Queen's  Exch.  Remembrancer,  R.O.), 
Sjmon  Goodman's  land  in  this  place  was  assessed  at  20s.  annual  value. 

The  Goodman  family  is  found  both  in  the  municipal  and  parochial  records  of 
Stamford.

The  village  of  North  LurTenham  was  for  a  long  period  the  residence  of  the 
Digby  family,  whose  arms  are  azure,  a  fleur-de-lys  argent ;  probably  the  issuer  of 
this  token  was  mine  host  of  the  Fluer-de-lys  public-house,  or  had  the  device  by 
way  of  compliment. 

In  the  parochial  registers  of  this  parish  are  found  the  following  entries

„       171a  Mr.  Samuel  Hunt,  bur.  in  woollen,  Oct.  18. 
On  the  fly- page  of  the  oldest  register-book  is  this  entry  : 

**  The  registers  of  this  parish  were  copied  by  Johaon  Hunt  in  1599  from  an  older 
book  during  the  time  the  Rectory  was  held  by  Archdeacon  Johnson.  The  entries 
were  made  before  Mr.  fiarington  s  time." 

The  entries  as  copied  certainly  do  Johann  Hunt  credit,  being  well  written, 
la  the  registers  of  South  Luffenham,  a  village  about  a  mile  to  the  south  of 
North  Luffenham,  I  found  the  following  entries : 

171a  John  Hunt,  bur.  May  y*  10. 

1717.  Isaac  Hunt,  bur.  July  y*  16. 

Hie  Samuel  Hunt,  whose  burial  is  recorded  with  others  of  the  family  at  North 
Luffenham,  made  his  will  Feb.  4,  1709-10,  proved  by  sole  executor  Jan.  20, 
171718,  in  P.CC.  (Reg.  Tenison  11),  by  which  he  settled  and  assured  all  such 
pans  of  the  messuages,  cottages,  and  lands  as  were  not  before  assured  by  deed 
dated  Jan.  5,  29  Car.  II.,  that  is  to  say,  "all  that  messuage  or  tenement  with  the 
appurtenances  lying  and  being  in  North  Luffenham,  wherein  I  now  dwell,  and  one 
William  Stanger,  and  those  several  closes  of  land  or  pasture,  called  Huimans  closes 
aod  Bracken- back  closes  and  the  Ash  close,  containing  by  estimation  26  acres  ; 
also  other  pieces  or  closes  in  North  and  South  Luffenham,  containing  by  estima- 
tion 150  acres,  known  as  Crip  farm,  now  or  late  in  the  tenure  of  William  Stanger ; 
cottage  fn  North  Luffenham,  in  the  tenure  of  Richard  Fowler  ;  and  all  other  lands 
and  tenements  in  North  and  South  Luffenham,  left  power  to  Samuel  Hunt  the 
elder,  his  heirs  and  assigns,  to  revoke  and  alter  the  said  recited  deeds,  or  his  heirs 
by  Susana,  his  late  wife,  deceased,  and  expresses  his  dissatisfaction  with  the  same. 
He  acknowledges  receiving  of  his  son-in-law,  Charles  Ray,  of  Stamford,  apothe- 
cary, £350,  which  is  applied  for  the  use  and  benefit  of  his  other  children  and 
Erandchildren,  revokes  the  deeds,  and  leaves  all  that  he  can  in  law  or  equity  to  his 
daaghter,  Susannah  Ray,  her  heirs  and  assigns,  she  paying  thereout  to  my  grand- 
daughter, Susanah  Hunt,  £100  if  she  lives  to  attain  the  age  of  twenty-one  years  ; 
aad  in  case  of  her  death  to  revert  to  daughter,  Susanah  Ray.  To  my  grandson, 
Gilbert  Hunt,  of  Ridlington,  gent.,  ,£20  per  annum  ;  residue  of  personal  estate  to 
my  son-in-law,  Charles  Ray,  who  is  appointed  sole  executor.  Witnesses,  John 
Fleming,  and  John  and  Matthew  Stanger." 

Charles  Ray,  in  an  assessment  made  April  22,  1690,  for  the  relief  of  the  poor  of 
the  parish  of  St.  Michael,  Stamford,  had  to  pay  6s.  In  1693  he  was  overseer  of 
the  poor  ;  and  in  August,  1721,  he  lived  at  Stamford,  as  I  have  seen  a  bill  of  his 
dated  August  5.  He  was  buried  at  North  Luffenham  September  18,  1 741 ;  as  was 
also  his  widow.  May  12,  1742. 

The  Hunt  family  is  also  found  both  in  the  municipal  and  parochial  records. 

William  Hunt,  carpenter,  paid^i  6s.  8d.  and  took  up  his  freedom  October  5, 
19  Car.  L 

William  Hunt,  probably  his  son,  was  elected  a  capital  burgess  July  20,  1674 ; 
chamberlain,  167980;  and  deceased  in  1681,  as  on  May  12  in  that  year  one 
Richard  Buck  was  elected  to  611  the  vacant  seat.  William,  in  1658  and  1661, 
served  the  office  of  overseer  of  the  highways ;  overseer  of  the  poor,  1654 ;  and 
chirehwarden  for  the  parish  of  St.  Michael  1665 ;  and  a  John  Hunt  was  also 
Churchwarden  1690,  and  overseer  of  highways  for  the  same  parish  in  1691. 

Easebros  Hunt,  mercer,  paid  ,£10  to  John  Wright,  chamberlain,  and  admitted  to 
freedom  May  12,  1698. 

Thomas  Hunt  took  up  his  freedom  March  10,  1694-95  ;  constable  for  the  parish 
of  St  John's  1696-97 ;  elected  a  capital  burgess  in  the  room  of  John  Griffin, 
deceased,  October  20,  1711  ;  deceased  in  1746,  as  on  August  28  in  that  year 
John  Chamberlain,  mercer,  was  elected  to  fill  the  vacant  seat. 

Thomas  Hunt,  jun.,  as  freeborn,  was  freely  admitted  to  his  freedom  April  8, 
«704. 

Most  probably  the  Stamford  and  Rutland  families  were  of  kin,  as  the  two 
(are  five  miles  only  from  Stamford.

The  will  of  John  Potterill,  apothecary,  dated  March  I,  1652,  and  admitted  to 
probate  November  2,  1652,  contains  a  schedule  of  certain  property  given  to  his 
daughter  Mabel,  amongst  which  are  the  following  pieces  of  plate,  vis. :  The  long 
bowl,  maudling  cup,  seven  silver  spoons,  of  which  three  are  commonly  used  in  the 
house  (or  "  worn,"  says  testator),  three  others  plain,  and  one  with  a  knob  not  gilt ; 
two  silver  salts  ;  also  pewter  dishes,  etc.,  linen,  household  furniture,  etc.,  etc.  It 
also  bequeaths :  To  my  sons,  Edward  and  William,  each  j£io.  The  former  he 
remits  the  £$  borrowed  money.  Whereas  my  son  Humphrey  is  bound  apprentice 
unto  me  for  seven  years,  and  hath  served  two  years  and  more,  and  after  my  decease 
my  son  John  shall  take  him  for  the  term  unexpired,  and  when  he  is  out  to  have

The  books  of  the  hall  of  Stamford  inform  us  that  Humphrey  Potterell,  apothe- 
cary, was,  at  a  common  hall,  August  27,  1657,  abated  "  fibrty  shillings  of  his  fiyne 
Yfdx  was  imposed  on  him  for  his  freedome  "  (the  regulation  fine  at  this  period  was 
j£2o).  In  1659-60  he  was  one  of  the  capital  constables  for  the  parish  of  St. 
Michael,  overseer  of  the  poor  1659-60,  churchwarden  1669-70,  pursuant  to  royal 
commission,  August  29,  1662,  elected  a  capital  burgess,  or  a  common  councilman, 
and  served  the  office  of  chamberlain  1681-72. 

Thomas  Potterill,  his  son,  also  an  "  apothecarye,  paid  six  pounds  thirteen  shil- 
lings and  flour  pence,"  June  1 1,  1685,  and,took  up  his  freedom.  We  find  his  name 
in  the  list  of  capital  burgesses  in  October,'  1687,  but  not  in  that  of  October,  1688. 
Mr.  Thomas  Potterill  resided  in  the  parish  of  St.  John's,  was  overseer  of  the  poor 
1686-87,  sidesman  1690-91,  and  churchwarden  1692-93. 

The  will  of  Thomas's  father,  dated  August  24,  27th  Car.  II.,  in  which  he 
designates  himself  as  Humfrey  Potterell,  of  Stamford,  in  the  county  of  Lincoln,

during  minority  my  executrix  to  educate  them ;  and  in  case  of  either  of  them 
dying  under  age,  her  portion,  so  dying,  to  be  divided  amongst  the  survivor.  And 
touching  that  part  of  the  money  owing  by  Mr.  St.  John,  and  bequeathed  unto  me 
by  the  will  of  mv  father,  I  do  will  the  same,  and  desire  my  loving  brother,  Mr* 
Thomas  Potterell,  this  executor,  after  the  recovery  thereof,  to  pay  the  same  equally 
to  my  children,  be  supervisor  of  this  my  will,  and  assist  my  executrix  in  the

This  issuer  was  probably  a  son  of  Thos.  Farbec,  Vicar  of  Ketton,  in  this  county, 
who  May  6,  1614,  married  (at  Hambleton)  Mary  Wright,  May  24,  1619.  In 
December,  1648,  he  was  under  the  ban  of  sequestration.  In  the  State  Papers, 
Dom.  Ser.  of  Charles  L  (R.O.)  is  a  petition  from  Thos.  Farbeck,  Clerk,  Vicar  of 
Ketton,  Rutland,  to  Archbishop  Laud,  dated  May  29,  1638.  It  sets  forth  that 
the  church  of  Tixover,  two  miles  distant,  is  united  to  his  vicarage,  and  by  an 
ancient  composition  the  vicar  is  to  find  a  curate  resident  to  officiate  at  Tixover. 
Richard  Bnllingham  is  farmer  for  three  lives  at  a  small  rent  of  the  rectory  of 
Ketton,  being  the  corps  of  a  prebend  in  the  cathedral  church  of  Lincoln,  and 
receives  out  of  the  rectory  ^300  clear,  per  annum,  while  the  vicarage  is  not  worth 
above  £26  per  annum,  and  one  moiety  of  that  is  allowed  to  the  curate  of  Tixover. 
There  b  reserved  to  the  diocesan  full  power  to  augment  the  stipend  as  by  an 
ancient  composition  in  the  church  of  Lincoln,  hereunto  annexed.  Prays  that  the 
Archbishop  would  command  that  some  order  may  be  taken  for  the  augmentation 
of  petitioner's  poor  living.  Underwritten,  I  desire  Sir  Jno.  Lamb  to  consider  of 
this  petition,  and  if  there  be  any  way  left  for  the  churches'  just  relief  I  shall  be  very 
willing  to  give  my  best  assistance.— W.  Cant,  May  29,  1638. 

With  this  petition  is  an  extract  in  Latin  from  the  roll  of  the  time  of  Oliver 
Sutton,  Bishop  of  Lincoln  (1280-99),  in  which  are  set  forth  the  profits  at  that  time 
of  the  vicarage  of  Ketton  with  the  chapel  of  Tixover,  to  which  is  added  a  state- 
ment of  the  various  sums  received  by  the  petitioner  since  his  coming  to  the 
vicarage  in  1614,  which  to  say  the  least  was  bare  enough  to  serve  a  cure.  Peti- 
tioner, designating  himself  as  Thos.  F.,  Vicar  of  Ketton,  co.  Rutland,  in  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Lincoln,  again  in  1640  petitions  the 
primate.  He  says  your  Grace's  Vicar- General,  in  the  first  metropolitical  visitation, 
did,  under  the  seal  of  the  court,  enjoin  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  parish  of  Ketton 
to  come  up  to  the  chancels  of  the  Lord's  table  to  receive  the  Sacrament,  and  in  the 
visitation  of  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Lincoln  the  churchwardens  were  commanded 
to  present  all  such  as  refused  so  to  draw  near  as  being  delinquents  against  the  orders 
of  Holy  Church.  All  the  inhabitants  of  the  parish,  according  to  their  duty,  obey 
these  injunctions  of  their  ordinary,  except  Mr.  Armin,  J. P.,  and  Cicely,  his  wife, 
who  have  for  these  (bur  years  refused  to  communicate  in  their  parish  church,  be- 
cause petitioner  would  not  against  his  conscience  and  oath  of  canonical  obedience 
recede  from  the  injunction  of  his  superior  and  come  forth  of  the  chancel,  to  the 

treat  scandal  of  all  his  other    parishioners   and  the  abetting  of  them  in    their

refractory  dispositions.  For  this  cause  a  bill  of  indictment  was  preferred  by  a  late 
servant  of  Mr.  A.  against  petitioner  and  returned,  bella  vera,  by  the  grand  jury,  so 
that  petitioner,  not  being  able  by  reason  of  his  extreme  poverty  to  traverse  it, 
must  be  forced  to  submit  as  a  delinquent  to  the  laws  of  the  kingdom,  unless  by  your 
gracious  favour  he  be  vindicated  from  the  potency  of  his  adversaries.  Prays  your 
grace  to  take  his  cause  into  your  consideration,  and  to  relieve  him  in  such  manner 
as  shall  seem  best  to  your  wisdom.  Underneath  is  written :  Referred  to  Sir  John 
Lam  be  and  Dr.  Duck  to  consider  of  this  petition,  and  at  their  next  leisure  to  give 
me  an  account  of  their  suggestions. — W.  Cant,  May  9,  1640.

The  will  of  the  issuer  of  this  token,  dated  November  14,  1691,  proved  February 
12,  1 69 1 -9,  by  executor,  is  in  the  P.C.C.  register  (Fane  29).  Testator  designates 
himself  as  John  Hull,  of  Uppinham,  co.  Rutland,  grocer.  Bequeaths  to  son 
Richard  and  daughter  Frances  Hull  all  my  copyhold  lands  and  tenements  which  I 
hold  of  the  lord  of  the  manor  of  the  rectory  of  Uppingham,  so  that  the  same  may 
be  sold  and  the  proceeds  equally  divided.  To  my  daughter  Frances  for  life  a  free- 
hold tenement  and  shop  thereunto  adjoining,  late  in  the  tenure  of  Henry  Frisby. 
Should  son  Richard  die  without  issue  it  was  to  revert  to  my  daughter  Frances. 
To  the  three  children  of  my  daughter,  Eliz.  Freeman,  viz.,  Mary,  Thomas,  and 
John,  each  6s.  8d.  Item  to  my  son  Richard,  two  coats,  one  waistcoat,  silver 
tobacco-box,  and  all  my  wearing  shifts.  To  my  daughter  Frances  one  silver  cup 
and  two  silver  spoons.  The  residue  of  my  estate,  etc.,  to  my  wife  Anne,  whom  I 
constitute  sole  executrix. 

The  parish  registers  of  St  Michael's,  Stamford,  records  the  burial  on  February 
9,  1675-6,  of  a  Mr.  Robt.  Hull,  woollen  draper. 

The  corporate  and  parochial  books  supply  the  following  particulars,  which  evi- 
dently show  that  he  was  not  a  "  native     : 

At  a  common  hall,  April  5, 1658,  Robt  Hull,  woollen  draper,  was  admitted  to 
freedom,  whereupon  "  he  payes  down  to  Humph.  Reinolds,  Chamberlain,  tenne 
poundes  for  his  freedome  ;  and  his  landlord  Willm.  Larrett  and  Robert  Blackbourne, 
mercer,  are  to  be  bound  in  ffourty  pounds  to  secure  the  towne  from  his  charges." 

At  a  former  meeting  of  the  hall,  March  26,  1657,  he  was  directed  to  pay  ^10 
before  taking  up  his  freedome,  for  which  Mr.  Robt.  Cammock  hath  promised  to 
pay  before  night  In  1659-60  he  was  one  of  the  overseers  of  the  poor,  and  church- 
warden in  166669 ;  and  in  the  accounts  of  the  churchwardens  of  this  parish 
for  Easter  (John  Vokes  and  Thos.  Porter),  presented  to  the  parishioners  •'  in 
vestry  assembled,"  April  21,  1663,  credit  is  given  for  3s.  4d.  for  the  burial  of 
Mr.  Hull's  child  in  the  church. 

44  1668.  Aug.  6.  At  this  Hall,  Robert  Hull  one  of  ye  capitall  burgesses  of  this 
corporacon  before  he  would  obey  ye  constituson  of  a  hall  heretofore  made  did 
freely  resigne  his  place  as  a  capitall  burgesse  and  desyred  to  be  dismissed  from 
ye  same  wh**  is  ordered  accordingly." 

At  a  common  hall,  February  21,  1668-9,  Robert  Hull  was  elected  "agayne 
into  his  place  as  one  of  ye  capitall  burgesses  of  this  borough  and  sworne." 

He  served  the  office  of  chamberlain  for  the  year  1669-70,  promoted  to  the 
rank  of  an  alderman  in  1674,  when  he  refused  to  take  the  customary  oath. 
The  minute-book  of  the  hall  thus  records  the  fact : 

"  1674.  July  20.  Thos.  Pilkington,  Gent.,  Mayor.  At  this  hall,  Mr.  Hull,  lately 
elected  Alderman  in  the  place  of  Mr.  Daniel  Thorogood  (bur.  at  St  Michael's, 
10  March,  1673-4),  dec.,  was  sent  for  by  ye  Mayor  and  Aldermen  to  take  his 
oath,  but  he  refused  the  same  though  tendered  to  him.  He  was  therefore  dis- 
missed from  the  Council  Chamber."

1  have  no  direct  evidence  to  connect  him  with  the  Uppingham  token -issuer, 
bot  the  fact  of  that  town  being  about  twelve  miles  Stamford,  which  was  at  this 
period  and  some  time  previously  the  capital  of  South  Lincolnshire,  affords  strong 
ptesomptive  reasons  that  they  were  of  kin,  perhaps  brothers. 

When  Harrod  wrote  "The  Antiquities  and  Present  State  of  Stamford  and 
St.  Martin's,  1785,"  the  following  inscription  was  on  a  brass  plate  on  the  floor 
m  the  middle  aisle  of  old  St  Michael's  Church.  It  disappeared  when  the  present 
oae  was  rebuilt  in  its  place  in  1837,  as  it  is  not  now  to  be  seen  : 

"  Heere  lyeth  bvried  the  body  of  Robert  Hvll  Woolin  Draper,  who  departed 
this  life  Febrvary  the  8,  1675,  /Etatis  suae  42." 

The  registers  of  this  parish  supply  the  following  entries  : 

1642.  Robert  Trig  and  Anna  Hull,  mar.  June  19.

Of  this  kingdom  there  is  but  the  one  token  described ;  and  this  is 
very  surprising,  as  the  large  cities  of  Edinburgh,  Glasgow,  Perth, 
Aberdeen,  etc.,  must  have  needed  small  change,  and  there  seems  to 
have  been  no  special  law  in  Scotland  against  their  issue,  any  more 
than  in  England  and  Ireland  The  Black  Money  of  the  Scottish 
Kings,  and  the  patent  farthings  of  James  I.  and  Charles  I.,  seem, 
however,  to  have  met  the  requirements  of  the  trade  of  that  period.

The  bulk  of  the  tokens  of  this  county  are  halfpennies  and  farthings, 
hut  there  are  as  many  as  thirteen  pennies,  an  unusual  proportion, 
surpassed,  however,  by  the  adjoining  border  county  of  Chester,  which 
boasts  of  twenty-four  or  more. 

Bridgenorth  was  the  only  town  in  the  county  that  issued  tokens  in 
a  corporate  capacity. 

In  the  former  edition  eighty  tokens  were  described — of  these  four 
have  been  withdrawn,  as  they  belong  to  other  counties,  and  the 
present  list  enumerates  a  total  of  ninety-nine.

John  Mellington,  sen.,  baker,  for  encroaching  by  erecting  a  bulke  to

ground     ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  ~>£o    02    06 

John  Millington,  if  not  a  Quaker  himself,  was  friendly  to  the  cause  of  this 
persecuted  sect  Richard  Davis,  the  Welshpool  Quaker  (see  Wales),  says  in  his 
autobiography : 

"  A  little  after  this  I  came  to  hear  that  some  of  the  people  that  were  called 
Quakers  were  at  Shrewsbury,  in  the  county  of  Salop,  being  distant  from  the  place 
of  my  abode  about  eighteen  miles.  When  the  time  called  Christmas  came,  my 
Blaster's  work  being  somewhat  over  for  a  while,  I  got  leave  to  go  so  far.  I  went 
first  to  the  house  of  John  Millington,  where  many  friends  resorted." 

In  1661  Davies  was  taken  prisoner  at  Wem,  with  about  twenty-five  more,  and 
committed  to  Shrewsbury  Gaol,  where  they  suffered  much  hardship  ;  but  after  some 
days  John  Millington  interceded  with  the  gaoler,  who  was  prevailed  upon  to  let 
them  all  go,  taking  their  word  for  their  appearance  at  the  next  Assizes.

Somereet 

In  the  Somerset  series  of  tokens  we  find  that  the  devices  are  not  only 
numerous,  but  very  varied  in  character,  and  may  be  classed  under  the 
following  divisions : 

I.  Town  Pieces  and  Arms  of  Private  Families. — Farthings  were 
issued  by  the  local  authorities  of  the  following  towns :  Bath,  Bridg- 
water, Bruton,  Chard,  Frome,  Ilchester,  Ilminster,  Langport,  Mine- 
head,  Taunton,  Wellington,  Wells,  and  Yeovil — a  very  large  number, 
compared  with  other  counties.  The  family  coats  are:  Fisher,  of 
Bath ;  Rogers,  of  Bridgwater ;  Able,  of  Chard ;  Grenway,  of  Crew- 
kerne  ;  Curie,  of  Freshford ;  Webb,  of  Ilminster ;  Foster,  of  Kilmers- 
don  ;  and  Wintar,  of  South  Petherton. 

II.  Arms  of  the  Trade  Corporations  of  the  City  of  London. — These 
arms  were  used  by  persons  of  the  same  trade  throughout  the  country, 
and  in  Somerset  we  find  the  following :  Clothworkers1 — Bath,  Spax- 
ton,*  Taunton.  Cordwainers2— Bath.  Drapers*— Bath,  Bridgwater.

kerne,  Ilchester,  Yeovil; and  also  three  sugar-loaves — South  Petherton. 
Haberdashers* — Beckington,  Crewkerne,  Frome,  Langport  Mercers1

7  A  demi-virgin  couped  below  the  shoulders,  issuing  from  clouds,  crowned,  hair 
dishevelled,  all  within  an  oriole  of  clouds.  (The  clouds  are  usually  omitted  on  the 
tokens.) 

9  Per  chevron  three  covered  cups  sprinkling  salt. 

'  Per  fesse  and  per  pale,  three  doves,  each  holding  an  olive  branch.

970      TRADERS*  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

IV.  Tavern  and  Shop  Signs.— Angel,  Three  Swans,  White  Hart, 
Mermaid,  Rose  and  Crown,  Bell,  Crown,  Harp,  Nag's  Head,  Seven 
Stars,  Globe,  Catherine  Wheel,  Lamb  and  Flag,  Checkers,  Half

Eagle,  White  Ball,  Three  Widows,  Lion,  Half  Moon,  Unicorn, 
Soldier. 

V.  Implements,  Articles  of  Trade,  Domestic  Use,  and  Dress. — 
Many  of  the  following  were  probably  shop  signs  :  Croppers'  shears, 
scythe,  woolcomb,  scissors,  curry  comb,  spade,  mortar  and  pestle, 
hammer  and  pincers,  scales,  teazle  brush,  cord,  axe,  shuttle,  cloth 
brush,  cauldron,  tailors'  pressing-iron,  woolpack,  madder  bag,  hand 
holding  a  pen,  stick  of  candles,  pipes  and  roll  of  tobacco,  barrel,  roil  of 
bread,  stocking,  hat  and  feather,  book. 

VI.  Animals  and  Plants. — Pegasus,  birds,  talbot  with  chain,  dog 
and  hare,  stag,  unicorn,  cock,  greyhound,  squirrel,  rose,  Glastonbury 
thorn,  bunch  of  grapes. 

VII.  Loyal  Mottoes  and  Emblems. — Beckington  ("  Glory  be  unto 
the  King  ") ;  Chard  ("  Receive  the  Crown  in  every  Town  ")  ;  Glas- 
tonbury (royal  arms),  South  Cadbury  (King's  head),  Weston  (Prince's 
feathers).     The  Crown,  and  Rose  and  Crown,  frequently  occur. 

VIII.  Punning. — Swallow,  Bath ;  Bishop,  Glastonbury  (bust  of  a 
Bishop,  mitred) ;  Churchey  Somerton  (a  church) ;  Hancock,  Weston 
(a  hand  and  a  cock). 

The  earliest  date  on  a  Somerset  token  is  1651,  and  the  latest, 
1671. 

The  frequent  occurrence  of  the  woolcomb,  croppers'  shears,  wool- 
pack,  and  other  implements  connected  with  the  woollen  manufacture, 
would  tend  to  prove  that  cloth  making  was  a  flourishing  industry  in 
Somerset  at  that  period.  It  still  lingers  at  two  or  three  places  in 
the  eastern  part  of  the  county,  whilst  serges  and  other  woollen  goods 
,are  made  extensively  at  the  present  time  at  Wellington.

to  be  unknown  at  the  present  time  in  the  neighbourhood  of  that  town.  As  many 
tokens  show  some  whim  or  fancy  of  the  issuer,  may  we  venture  to  surmise  that  the 
issuer  of  the  above  token,  aiming  at  a  wider  field  than  either  Castle  Cary  or 
Babcary,  included  the  country  adjoining,  watered  by  the  small  river  which  rises  at 
Castle  Cary, -and  which,  in  the  first  ten  or  twelve  miles  of  its  course,  rives  the 
name  of  "  Cary  "  to  many  places  on  its  banks?  M  Cary  Land  "  would,  therefore, 
be  a  very  natural  designation  for  such  a  district.  We  have  numerous  instances  of 
the  affix  "  land  "  applied  to  farms,  districts,  and  even  countries ;  while  "  Taunton 
Deane M  furnishes  us  with  two  tokens  referring  to  the  district  around,  and  not  to 
the  town  itself.  In  a  "  Roll  of  the  Tenths  and  Fifteenths  of  all  the  Hundreds  in 
the  County  of  Somerset,"  probably  of  the  time  of  Henry  VIII.,  appears  the  word

the  ground  on  Wearyall  Hill,  that  it  took  root,  and  ever  after  budded  and  bloomed 
on  Christmas  Day,  is  still  cherished  in  the  neighbourhood.     A  local  ballad  says  : 
••  The  staff  het  budded  and  het  grew, 
And  at  Christmas  bloom'd  the  whole  da  droo  ; 
And  still  het  blooms  at  Christmas  bright,  * 
But  best  tha  say  at  dork  midnight."

The  original  Glastonbury  Thorn  had  two  trunks,  one  of  which  was  cut  down  in 
the  time  of  Elizabeth  by  a  Puritan,  and  the  other  remained  till  the  Civil  War, 
when  some  fanatic  destroyed  it. 

Is  Dugdale's  "  Monasticon  "  is  a  view  of  Glastonbury,  taken  from  Compton 
UiU,  about  three  miles  to  the  south,  showing  a  tree  growing  on  Wearyall  Hill, 
Barked  as  "  Sacra  spina."  An  offshoot  grew  in  the  grounds  of  the  Abbey,  and 
the  Thorn  has  of  late  years  been  pretty  freely  propagated  in  the  neighbourhood. 
A  stone  let  into  the  ground  on  Wearyall  Hill  marks  the  spot  where  the  original 
tree  grew. 

In  all  probability  Henry  Gutch  witnessed  the  destruction  of  the  Sacred  Thorn, 
as  it  appears  to  have  been  cut  down  not  many  years  before  the  date  on  his  token  ; 
and  be  very  naturally  adopted  it  as  his  sign.  The  Blossoms  was  a  favourite  sign  for 
inns  ;  referring,  it  appears,  to  the  blossoms  of  the  Holy  Thorn  of  Glastonbury. 

See  a  paper  on  "  The  Holy  Thorn  of  Glastonbury,"  by  Mr.  E.  Chisholm- 
Batten,  in  vol.  xxvi.,  p.  117,  of  the  Proceedings  of  the  Somerset  Archaeological

The  above  is  very  similar  to  a  device  sometimes  used  by  brush-makers.  The 
curved  implement,  something  like  a  flattened  horse-shoe,  is  probably  intended  for 
the  "  bit-stock  "  used  for  boring  holes  in  wood  ;  while  the  pigs  and  three  pellets 
or  bundles  have  reference  to  the  bristles  used  for  brushes.  These  arms  are  still 
borne  by  an  Essex  family,  but  they  now  read  :  quarterly — I,  the  Ulster  hand  ;  2, 
two  Lions  passant ;  3,  a  crescent  moon ;  4,  three  bezants — and  form  quite  an 
aristocratic  coat,  of  which  we  see  the  origen  above  !

The  implement  here  represented  is  no  doubt  the  "  card,"  formerly  used  for 
bringing  wool  into  a  condition  fit  for  the  spinner,  called  "  carding."  It  has  long 
been  superseded  by  machinery.  The  word  is  in  all  probability  derived  from 
"  carduus,"  a  thistle  or  teazle,  which  was  probably  the  first  natural  implement

Roger  Gale  was  the  first  Mayor  under  the  second  Corporation  charter,  and  is 
described  as  a  merchant.  He  belonged  to  a  good  family,  whose  descendants 
resided  at  Obridge,  Heydon,  and  Bishops  Hull.  Henry  Gale,  who  died  at  Taunton 
in  1742,  and  possessed  a  good  property  in  Taunton  Deane,  was  an  antiquarian, 
being  not  distantly  related  to  the  celebrated  Gales,  of  Scruton,  Yorkshire.

The  name  of  John  Meredith  occurs  as  one  of  the  two  Aldermen  in  the  Corpora- 
tion of  1677. 

A  tablet  in  the  Church  of  St.  Mary  Magdalene,  Taunton,  after  recording  the 
barials  of  sereral  daughters  "  of  John  Meredith,  Taunton,  mercer,"  states  : 

"Also  the  above-said  John  Meredith,  who  departed  nth  October,  in  the 
Tear  of  our  Lord  God,  1667.  Also  Agnes,  widow  of  the  above  John  Meredith, 
who  departed  this  life  Dec  3rd,  1701,  aged  79  years." 

It  wfll  be  observed  that  the  initials  on  the  token  correspond  with  the  names  of 
the  above  John  and  Agnes  Meredith. 

John  Meredith,  by  his  will  dated  in  September,  1677,  gave  to  the  poor  of  the 
parish  of  Taunton  St.  Mary  Magdalene  the  sum  of  £400  to  be  laid  out  in  the 
purchase  of  some  lands  of  that  value,  the  yearlv  produce  of  which  should  be  taken 
tw  the  Constables  of  the  borough,  for  the  time  being,  and  by  them,  between 
Michaelmas  and  St.  Thomas's  Day,  yearly,  laid  out  in  cloth  and  making  garments

marriages  in  the  year  1649  * 

"  1 2th  Augt.  Mathew  Monday  and  Welthin  [Welthian]  Metlebury  [Muttle-

It  will  be  seen  by  referring  to  the  same  register  that  marriages  in  this  parish 
during  the  Commonwealth  usually  took  place  in  the  presence  of  either  Mathew 
Munday  or  William  Bidgood,  two  of  the  Aldermen  of  the  borough  of  Taunton.  *

The  name  of  Stephen  Tymewell  occurs  as  one  of  the  capital  burgesses  in  the 
Corporation  of  1677.  He  appears  to  have  been  Mayor  of  Taunton  in  1683,  for  he 
thus  describes  having  sacked  the  great  meeting-house  called  Poole,  and  the  Baptist 
ooe,  on  the  same  day  :  "We  burnt  ten  cart-loads  of  pulpit,  doors,  gates,  and  seats, 
■poo  the  Market-place.  We  staid  till  three  in  the  morning,  before  all  were  burnt. 
We  were  verymerry.  The  bells  rung  all  night  The  Church  is  now  full ;  thank 
God  lor  it.  The  fanaticks  dare  not  open  their  mouths.1'  On  January  21, 1684,  he 
reported  that,  since  demolishing  the  public  meeting-house,  he  had  taken  nine 
private  conventicles,  and  made  records  thereof,  and  intended  to  do  the  like  to  the 
rest  as  soon  as  he  could  ;  so  that  he  did  not  hear  of  any  conventicles  in  that  place.

period.  Master  William  Biconyll,  or  Bicknell,  priest,  of  Wells  Cathedral,  by  his 
will,  dated  November  3,  1448,  makes  bequests  to  the  church  at  Wellington,  to  his 
brother  John,  the  Vicar,  and  the  poor.  The  surname  of  Bicknell  is  supposed  to 
be  derived  from  the  parish  of  Bickenhall,  in  the  county  of  Somerset,  which  was 
formerly  written  Bicknell  and  Bycknell.

Boyne  doubts  whether  the  whole  of  the  above  should  be  placed  to  Somersetshire, 
as  Wellington  in  Shropshire  is  a  larger  town  ;  but  the  croppers*  shears  and  wool- 
pack  would  seem  to  belong  to  the  Somerset  Wellington.

Soutbwarft, 

The  ancient  borough  of  Southwark,  although  it  does  not  possess  the 
distinction  of  the  name  of  a  county,  deserves  in  our  opinion  the  honour 
of  a  separate  division  of  this  work. 

In  area  it  is  nearly  equal  to  the  City  of  London,  containing  as 
it  does  590  acres,  while  but  600  acres  is  the  extent  of  the  City. 

In  political  life  it  has  had  its  own  separate  continuous  existence, 
and  its  government  has  been  separate  and  distinct  from  that  of  the 
City,  although  attached  to  it 

Southwark  forms  by  itself  the  great  ward  of  Bridge  Without,  and 
has  its  own  High  Bailiff,  Courts  and  Hall.  Forming  also  part  of 
Surrey,  it  can  be  considered  to  have  less  to  do  with  Surrey  even  than 
with  London,  and  its  position  demands  for  it  the  separate  and  special 
consideration  its  interesting  history  deserves.  We  have  not,  there- 
fore, attached  the  pages  containing  its  tokens  to  those  of  Surrey,  pre- 
ferring to  give  them  separate  consideration. 

Very  many  of  the  Southwark  tokens  bear  the  name  sovthwark 
atone  upon  them,  and  it  is  not  easy  to  identify  the  majority  of  these 
with  the  streets  or  houses  of  their  issue.  With  regard  to  our  notes, 
our  thanks  are  very  particularly  due  to  the  especial  courtesy  of  the 
authors  of  two  important  works  on  Southwark.  The  first,  Dr.  Rendle's 
work  on  "  Old  Southwark  and  its  People,"  has  been  constantly  re- 
ferred to  by  us,  and  a  second  work  by  the  same  author,  in  conjunction 
with  Mr.  Philip  Norman,  has  been  laid  under  still  heavier  contribution. 
Without  the  latter  work  ("The  Inns  of  Old  Southwark,  and  their 
Associations w#),  our  task  would  have  been  laborious  and  difficult. 
From  the  book  Mr.  Norman  most  generously  permitted  us  constantly 
to  quote,  and  by  him  were  we  permitted  to  obtain  electros  of  the 
woodcuts  used  to  illustrate  the  tokens  struck  at  the  inns  mentioned 
by  him.  These  woodcuts  of  tokens  now  appear  to  brighten  our 
pages,  and  our  thanks  are  most  heartily  rendered  to  Mr.  Norman  for 
their  use  and  for  his  constant  and  patient  assistance  of  our  work. 

The  great  feature  of  the  Southwark  tokens  is  the  number  that  were 
issued  from  inns,  and  the  inns  of  Southwark  were  the  most  interesting 
erections  in  the  Borough.  "  Southwark  was,"  as  Dr.  Rendle  states, 
•  the  chief  thoroughfare  to  and  from  London  for  the  southern  counties 
md  by  the  coast  for  the  busiest  part  of  the  continent — a  place  for 
■birds  of  passage,'  *  for  great  receipt  of  people  and  trade  from  divers 
Aires  of  the  realm,'  and  so  necessarily  occupied  by  inns  in  number 
to  of  all  proportion  to  ordinary  shops  and  dwellings.' 

♦  Longmans,  1888.

iooo  TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

In  treating  of  the  tokens,  we  are  enabled  to  give  many  notes  respect- 
ing these  old  inns,  which  we  gather  from  Messrs.  Rendle  and  Norman's 
works  already  referred  to.  Stow,  Evelyn,  and  Pepys  have  been  also 
laid  under  contribution,  while  Wilson's  "  Antiquities  of  Dissenting 
Chapels,"  Larwood's  "  History  of  Signs,"  Besse's  "  Sufferings  of  the 
Quakers,"  and  very  many  other  Nonconformist  works,  have  each 
yielded  their  quota  of  interesting  information. 

We  believe  these  notes  will  be  found  to  well  repay  perusal,  and  to 
contain  many  a  scrap  of  history  both  fresh  and  novel  to  the  ordinary 
student. 

We  must  not  omit  to  mention  that  Mr.  Norman  has  very  kindly 
read  the  proofs  of  this  portion  of  the  book,  and  has  corrected  many 
of  the  entries  by  the  light  of  later  investigation,  adding  also  some 
additional  items  of  interest,  for  which  we  would  tender  him  our  very 
sincere  thanks ;  and  we  are  sure  that  our  readers  will  derive  much 
benefit  from  his  generous  aid. 

The  Editor.

Axe  Yard  was  in  High  Street,  Southwark. 

Mrs.  Newcomen,  a  Puritanical  believer,  who  resided  there,  left  by  will  in  1674 
-  ~Jt  small  property  for  charity  and  for  the  education  of  the  poor,  then  perhaps  a 
'i-Ddred  pounds  value,  now,  so  wisely  was  it  administered,  some  £2*000  or  more  by 
'he  year.  Among  her  bequests  is  her  messuage  in  Axe  Yard,  called  the  Bottle,  in 
•  j  eh,  perhaps,  we  see  the  origin  of  the  name  Axe  and  Bottle  Yard. 

In  1760  the  south  gate  of  London  Bridge  was  taken  down  and  the  materials  sold 
W  auction.  At  the  sale  the  fine  old  sculpture  of  the  King's  Arms  was  bought  by 
v  r.  Williams,  a  stonemason  of  Tooley  Street,  who,  being  soon  after  employed  to

The  George  is  one  of  the  "  fair  inns"  noted  by  Stow  in  1598.  The  owner  in  1558 
was  Humfrey  Colet  or  Collet,  M.P.  for  South wark  1553.  In  his  will  he  states  that 
he  wishes  to  be  buried  in  the  new  churchyard  (St.  Saviour's)  by  his  uncle,  Thomas 
Bullay,  and  that  he  owns  the  George  now  in  the  tenure  of  Nicholas  Martin, 
hosteler.  In  1634  a  return  was  made  by  the  wardens  to  the  Earl  of  Arundel  that 
the  George  Inn  or  tenements  within  it  was  built  of  brick  and  timber  in  1622.  The 
landlord  was  presented  in  1634  because  he  allowed  drinking  during  divine  service. 

The  3  cvps  on  No.  33  was  a  variation  of  the  name  of  the  building  between  the 
George  and  the  White  Hart,  which  was  also  called  Three  Crane  Court,  Three  Crane 
Yard,  and  Crown  Court.  The  inn  was  partly  burnt  down  in  1670,  and  in  con- 
nection with  the  rebuilding  the  rent  was  reduced  from  £150  to  £80  and  a  sugar- 
loaf,  which  was  again  reduced  to  £$0  six  years  after,  when  in  the  great  fire  of 
1676  the  whole  inn  was  destroyed  and  rebuilt  by  the  tenant. 

In  July,  1889,  the  north  and  east  galleries  of  this  interesting  old  inn  disappeared, 
and  we  fear  that  the  remainder  of  the  building  will  not  long  survive.

Charles  Brandon,  Duke  of  Suffolk,  brother-in-law  of  Henry  VIII.,  held  large 
possessions  in  Southwark.  Suffolk  Street  was  named  after  him.  Mr.  Norman 
informs  us  that  there  is  in  the  Guildhall  Library  a  drawing  made  by  J.  C  Buckler, 
1828,  which  represents  the  Duke's  Head  Public  House,  Red  Cross  Street,  South-

The  Spur  Inn  is  mentioned  as  early  as  1542.  A  fire  occurred  at  Southwark  in 
1667,  which  commenced  on  these  premises,  and  burnt  some  of  the  out-buildings. 
It  is  probably  alluded  to  by  Pepys  under  date  April  29,  1667,  where  he  says :  "  A 
great  fire  at  Southwarke.  I  up  to  the  leads  and  saw  it.  We  at  that  distance  saw 
an  engine  play  and  the  water  go  out  of  it,  being  moonlight." 

In  1720  the  inn  is  described  as  "  pretty  well  resorted  unto  by  waggons,"  and  a  few 
country  carriers  even  now  call  there,  who  yet,  in  1886,  seem  to  cling  to  this,  one  of 
the  last  of  their  ancient  places  of  call  in  the  Borough. — [R.  and  N.,  221.]

In  1542  the  Nag's  Head  is  termed  the  Horse  Hede.  In  1634  it  had  its  court  of 
small  tenements.  In  1720  we  are  told  that  the  buildings  are  old  and  sorry. 
Andrew  Ducrow,  the  great  equestrian  performer,  is  said  to  have  been  born  at  the 
Nag's  Head  on  May  12, 1796.  His  parents  had  put  up  there,  having  arrived  from 
Germany  on  the  same  day.  George  Colman,  the  younger,  in  his  "  Poor  Gentle- 
man," a  comedy  produced  at  Covent  Garden,  1S01,  makes  the  farmer  say: 

"  I  be  come  from  Lunnon,  you  see ;  I  warrant  I  smell  of  smoke  like  the  Nag's

In  the  High  Street  in  1723  was  the  Beacon,  a  public-house  so  called.  Its  exact 
position  is  shown  by  its  removal  for  the  construction  of  a  better  gateway  to  the 
btxpitai  Thomas  Guy  and  another  generous  governor  were  just  now  spending 
much  money  in  improvements  and  new  wards  there.  The  sign  may  have  had 
reference  to  the  well-known  telegraph  tower  close  at  hand  or  to  a  fire-beacon.  I 
would  remark,  too,  that  a  considerable  part  of  Tooley  Street  by  the  church  was 
probably  so  far  back  as  the  fifteenth  century  known  as  the  Berghtny,  apparently 
bud  its  name  derived  from  Burgh  kenning,  meaning  a  watch-tower,  which  might 
reasonably  be  held  to  imply  a  beacon.— [R.  and  N.,  1 18.]

in  South wark."  Eight  years  afterwards  the  inn  was  marked  in  the  Record  Office 
Map  as  the  "  Kynges  Hed."  The  property  was  in  the  possession  of  the  family  of 
Mr.  J.  Eliot  Hodgkin,  F.S.A.,  for  some  generations,  and  from  a  deed  of  1559,  which 
Mr.  Hodgkin  possesses,  the  following  statement  has  been  gleaned : 

In  1559  the  deed  is  drawn  between  John  Gresham  and  John  White  bargaining 
for  a  certain  sum  of  money  with  Thomas  Cure  for  the  inn  "  formerly  known  as  the 
Pope's  Hed  now  as  the  Kynge's  Hed,  abutting  on  the  highway  called  Longe 
South  warke." 

After  this  it  is  found  that  in  1588  the  property  passes  to  the  Humbles,  and  in 
1647  to  Humble  Lord  Ward.  The  inn  was  burnt  down  in  1676,  and  after  the  fire 
the  tenant,  Mary  Duffield,  appealed  to  the  Court  of  Judicature  against  the  harsh 
treatment  of  her  superior  landlord.  The  decision,  which  is  contained  in  the  Fire 
Decrees  of  1677  in  the  Guildhall,  settled  that  the  tenant  should  build  a  good  sub- 
stantial inn  and  buildings,  and  that  her  rent  be  reduced  from  ,£66  to  £35,  and  her 
tenure  extended  to  forty-eight  years. 

In  1720  the  inn  was  "  well  built,  handsome,  and  enjoying  a  good  trade,  and  had 
picturesque  wooden  galleries  on  both  sides  of  the  yard,  but  in  1085  the  last  remain- 
ing portion  of  the  east  side  was  pulled  down." — [R.  and  N.,  122-127.]

afterwards  Sir  Edward  Osborne,  Lord  Mayor  of  London  and  founder  of  the  Leeds

In  the  map  of  1542  a  few  significant  sketchy  lines  by  way  of  a  drawing  tell  us 
of  the  Bolles  Hede  at  the  south-east  corner  of  the  precincts  of  the  late  priory  of 
St.  Mary  Overy,  and  by  the  chaingate  which  protects  the  entry  to  the  churchyard 
from  the  High  Street.  The  Bull's  Head  is  so  notable  that  by-and-by,  when  the 
churchyard  requires  enlarging,  the  ground  between  the  church  and  the  inn  is  named 
the  Bull  Head  Churchyard.  This  Bull  Head  Inn  was  one  of  the  resorts  of  Edward 
Alleyn.  In  1620  he  dines  with  Bromfield  and  Tichborne  at  the  Bull  Head,  at 
what  is  probably  an  election  dinner.  In  the  fire  of  1676  the  inn  was  burnt,  but 
rebuilt,  and  in  1756  it  is  referred  to  in  the  following  advertisement :  "  To  be  lettt 
being  lately  repaired,  in  the  Boro'  of  Southwark  near  the  hospital,  a  large  house 
late  the  Bull  Head  tavern,  either  as  a  tavern  or  otherwise,  having  large  vaults  and 
a  great  deal  of  warehouse  room." 

The  house  disappeared  when  the  new  bridge  was  built  in  183a — [R.  and  N.,

The  Cock  and  Hoop,  to  which  this  token  evidently  refers,  was  a  tenement 
known  in  1638  as  the  Cock  and  Hart. 

It  was  settled  by  William  Whithouse,  of  St  Mary  Cray,  Kent,  in  that  year,  upon 
his  wife,  together  with  an  inn  called  the  Black  Bull  hard  by.  The  Black  Bull  was 
later  on  known  as  the  Three  Tuns,  and  stood  between  the  important  Queen's 
Head  and  the  site  of  the  Christopher.  In  1701  the  Black  Bull  was  sold  by  Sir 
Francis  Whithouse,  Kt.,  late  a  Justice  of  the  King's  Bench.  In  1720  Cock  and 
Hoop  Alley  is  mentioned  as  possessing  but  one  house,  being  a  passage  to  the 
garden  grounds,  and  the  issuer  of  the  token  may  have  resided  in  that  house. —

ANGEL  ALLEY  and  STREET. 

Angel  Street  possibly  derived  its  name  from  the  Aungell  beerhouse,  "  which,  in 
1585,  belonged  to  Sir  Robert  Copley,  and  was  let  to  Henry  Leake,  brewer,  chief 
fonder  of  the  St.  Olave's  Grammar  School,  and  one  of  the  refugees  from 
Flanders  before  the  persecution  under  Alva." — [R.  and  N.,  41.] 

It  is  difficult  to  identify  the  following  tokens  to  the  exact  place  of  their  issue. 
There  was  an  Angel  Street  between  the  Old  Barge  House  and  St.  George's  Fields ; 
ibo  Angel  Court  or  Yard  on  the  north  side  of  Foul  Lane ;  another  Angel  Court  or 
Alky  was  in  Montague  Close,  about  where  the  Bridge  House  Hotel  or  London  and 
Westminster  Bank  now  is  ;  and  a  fourth  near  the  King's  Bench  Prison,  still  repre- 
sented by  a  dingy  little  passage,  called  Angel  Place,  referred  to  by  Dickens  in  his

The  unicorn  was  included  in  one  Henry  Polstead's  lands,  which  he  purchased  by 
exchange  of  Henry  VIII. ,  and  came,  no  doubt,  out  of  the  forfeitures  of  the  monks 
of  Bermondsey,  the  Templars,  and  Knights  of  St.  John  to  him.  In  process  of  time  the 
property  came  to  Henslowe  (of  the  Rose  playhouse)  and  to  Alleyn  (of  the  Globe 
playhouse).  In  Alleyn's  will  the  unicorn  is  among  the  property  left  to  his  wife, 
Constance.  The  unicorn  is  granted  by  King  Charles  in  1635  to  Sydenham  and 
others,  who  afterwards  dispose  of  it  At  a  later  period  it  was  the  Skin  Market. —

Battle  Bridge  derives  its  name  from  the  town  mansion  or  inn  of  the  Abbot  of 
Battle.  In  1568  Battell  House  is  represented  as  in  length  eighty  feet ;  in  breadth, 
forty-four  feet.  The  Abbot's  Close  had  been  before  the  Dissolution  one  open 
place  of  about  an  acre  in  extent,  and  had  been  freely  used  for  purposes  of 
recreation.— {R.  and  N.,  39.]    The  site  is  now  covered  by  Hays  Wharf  and  Dock.

St.  Saviour,  says  Dr.  Rendle,  may  have  made  the  sign  of  the  Bell  popular.  About 
the  church  itself,  Smith,  in  his  Book  for  a  Rainy  Day,  tells  us  how  he  meets  the 
eccentric  waterman,  George  Heath,  who  says,  "  I  was  a  famous  ringer  in  my 
youth  at  St.  Mary  Overies.  They  are  beautiful  bells."  This  was  the  man  whom 
Charles  Matthews  the  elder  introduced  into  his  entertainment  under  the  pseudonym 
of  Joe  Hatch.    Bear  Alley  is  marked  on  a  Record  Office  map  of  about  1542.

Chaucer,  wishing  to  make  known  to  us  the  gathering  place  of  his  pilgrims  to 
Canterbury,  tells  us  it  was  "  in  South werk  at  this  gentil  hostelrie  that  highte  the 
Tabard  faste  by  the  Bell,1'  the  Bell  being  apparently  at  that  time  a  better  known 
inn.  In  1577  mention  is  made  of  the  inn  in  the  depositions  of  a  man  who  brings 
an  action  for  the  loss  of  a  money-bag,  and  states  "  that  he  was  in  the  house  of  one 
John  Woodward,  called  the  signe  of  the  Bell,  and  did  inne  there."  The  Bell 
figures  as  an  important  landmark  "  from  the  Bell  towards  Waverley  House,"  which 
had  been  the  town-house  of  the  Abbot  of  Waverley,  near  Farnham.  Bell  Yard 
in  1637  was  a  place  of  dwelling  for  poor  people  and  had  twenty  tenements.  The 
token  is  the  only  pictorial  record  we  have  of  the  inn  that  was  mentioned  by 
Chaucer.  The  fox  on  it  is  apparently  a  rebus,  Renols  quasi  Reynard. — [R.  and  N^, 
293.]  The  Bell  has  long  since  disappeared.  Both  Tabard  and  Bell  are  marked 
on  Rocque's  map  of  1740.

In  1534  the  Catherine  Wheel  was  part  of  the  property  left  by  one  John  Scraggs. 
Tbe  rent  of  the  "  Kateryn  Whelle  "  was  £3.  It  formed  part  of  the  Scraggs  charity 
left  by  wilL  In  1564  the  inn  was  in  possession  of  St.  Thomas's  Hospital,  and  was 
let  (or  six  years  at  four  marks  a  year.  1568.  The  Court  granted  a  lease  on  a  pre- 
niam  of  /16  6s.  8d.  for  twenty-one  years  at  a  rent  of  £8*  In  1595  the  tenant 
sought  to  rebuild.     In  1840  the  rent  was  noted  by  the  Charity  Commissioners  at 

/240. 

It  has  now  risen  to  £550  I  It  ceased  to  be  an  inn  after  1869,  the  old  structure 
was  pulled  down,  and  the  site  is  now  a  receiving  place  for  the  Midland  Railway

Id  the  Wilkes  Liberty  Riots  of  1768  one  William  Allen,  son  of  Allen,  landlord 
of  the  Horse  Shoe,  was  shot  by  a  soldier  who  pursued  him  into  the  cow-house 
of  the  inn.  He  was  buried  in  Newington  Churchyard,  and  a  somewhat  sumptuous 
noonment  erected  by  his  parents  to  his  memory.  The  murder  was  the  subject 
of  in  indignant  sermon  by  the  Rector  of  Newington,  was  illustrated  in  a 
print  of  the  period,  and  was  referred  to  by  petition  in  the  House  of  Commons. —

this  inn,  with  elevations,  dated  1627,  is  in  the  library  of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries, 
presented  to  the  society  by  the  late  Mr.  Halliwell  Phillipps.  The  premises 
vere  very  extensive,  comprising  several  warehouses,  stabling  for  fifty  horses,  and 
•iny  tenements  sublet  to  wheelers,  cowkeepers,  and  perhaps  weavers.  Some 
pttaresque  wood  and  plaster  houses  still  standing,  one  of  which  is  a  tavern  with 
the  sign  of  the  King's  Arms,  probably  formed  part  of  the  old  Unicorn.  The 
flbles  resemble  those  shown  in  the  old  ground-plan. — [R.  and  N.,  347.] 

It  was  in  Unicorn  Yard  that  a  meeting-house  for  Baptists  was  erected  bv  the 
congregation  once  meeting  in  Goat  Yard.  When  the  lease  of  their  old  building 
no  out  they  erected  the  new  one  in  the  yard  at  the  back  of  the  Unicorn  Inn, 
and  there  worshipped  until  the  lease  of  this  expired  and  they  had  to  migrate  to 
Cuter  Lane  (q.  v.).  The  issuer,  John  Prince,  is  said  to  have  largely  assisted 
tan  with  funds  to  build  this  meeting-house  at  the  back  of  his  inn. 

BRIDGE  FOOT  and  BRIDGE  HOUSE. 

The  Bridge  House,  which  stood  east  of  Bridge  Foot,  was  a  store  place  for 
materials  belonging  to  the  city,  especially  for  those  used  in  the  repair  of  London 
Bridge.  It  came  to  be  occupied  as  a  granary  and  as  a  bakehouse  with  large  and 
*anr  ovens.     Cotton's  warehouses  are  now  on  the  site. — [R.  and  N.,  49.]

train  bands ;  rose  to  be  colonel  in  Cromwell's  army,  and  was  one  of  the  com- 
missioners for  the  sale  of  king's  lands.  After  the  Restoration  he  seems  to  have 
been  settled  down  as  landlord  of  the  Bear. 

In  1 64 1  he  was  a  churchwarden  of  St.  Olave's,  and  was  concerned  with  others 
in  pulling  down  the  altar  rails,  for  which  they  were  ordered  to  the  pillory  and 
heavily  6ned.  The  curate  said  they  insisted  on  his  giving  the  Sacrament  to  them 
sitting  after  about  500  had  it  kneeling,  and  told  him  if  he  did  not  they  would  drag 
him  about  the  church  by  the  ears.  These  very  cool  churchwardens  give  this  as  their 
version :  "Many  hundreds  of  the  parishioners  refused  to  come  to  Sacrament  on 
account  of  the  rails,  and  they  having  asked  in  vain  of  Dr.  Turner  to  remove  them 
quickly,  removed  them  themselves  and  sold  them  for  the  benefit  of  the  parish.'* 

The  Bear  Inn  is  mentioned  as  early  as  1319  (twelfth  Edward  II. ),  when  it  belonged 
to  Thomas  Drynkewatre,  taverner  of  London.  In  1429  it  is  termed  a  "  brewhouse 
with  a  tavern  thereto,  belonging  in  the  parishes  of  St.  Mary  Maud  ley  n  and  Seynt 
Oulupte."    It  was  pulled  down  on  the  widening  of  the  Bridge  in  1 761. 

In  1 513-14  there  is  a  rent  paid  for  it  to  the  prior  of  St.  Mary  Overy.  For  many 
centuries  it  was  a  most  famous  inn  and  visited  by  most  people  of  note,  and  is 
alluded  to  by  Pepys  upon  several  occasions,  and  also  mentioned  by  Wycherley  and 
Shirley  in  "  The  Lady  of  Pleasure,"  1637.     [R.  and  N.  302-315.]

CASTLE  STREET  and  YARD. 

South wark  Castle  referred  to  by  Aubrey  was  probably  the  house  which,  in  1531, 
was  called  "  Guldeford  Castle  at  Suthwerk." 

It  was  given  in  1509  by  Sir  Thomas  Brandon  to  Lady  Guylford,  and  had  been 
held  by  Brandon  of  the  Bishops  of  Winchester. 

It  probably  gave  its  name  to  Castle  Street  and  Guildford  Street.—

CARTER  LANE,  or  WALNUT-TREE  ALLEY.

Carter  Lane,  or  Kater  Lane,  as  it  was  called  in  1531,  is  in  1629  described  as 
Walnut-tree  Lane,  otherwise  Carter  Lane,  and  in  1746,  in  Rocque's  map,  as  Walnut- 
tree  Alley,  and  at  the  end  of  the  last  century  as  Carter  Lane. 

The  ate  was  at  one  time  occupied  by  the  inn  of  the  Priors  of  Lewes,  but 
previous  to  that  time  had  been  the  Manor  House  of  the  De  Warrennes,  Earls 
of  Surrey,  the  lords  of  old  Southwark,  and  built,  probably,  by  William,  the  first 
Earl,  who  founded  the  Priory  of  Lewes.  After  the  dissolution  part  of  the  site 
was  occupied  by  the  St.  Olave's  Grammar  School  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  and  part 
became  the  Walnut-tree  Inn. 

In  1552  the  Earl  of  Essex  held  the  hostelry  from  the  Crown,  but  upon  his  fall 
it  was  again  divided,  and  the  inn  fell  into  the  hands  of  one  Adam  Beeston,  of 
St  Olave's,  brewer.  Cuthbert  Beeston,  his  son,  citizen  and  girdler  of  London, 
died  seized  of  the  inn,  together  with  its  garden  and  fifteen  messuages  in  the  lane, 
held  of  the  Queen  in  chief,  and  worth  yearly  £$  6s.  8d.  This  owner,  by  his  will, 
1579,  left  considerable  charity  to  St  Olave's  parish. 

At  a  later  time  the  property  is  mentioned  in  the  Exchequer  Depositions,  third 
and  fourth  James  II.,  in  the  Record  Office,  as  follows  : 

'*  It  was  purchased  by  Caleb  Lovejoy,  who  was  waggoner  to  Oliver  Cromwell 
in  the  time  of  the  rebellion,  and  he  instantly  ejected  some  of  the  King's  tenants." 

This  owner  was  a  native  of  Guildford,  born  in  the  parish  of  St.  Nicholas,  and 
baptized  May  8,  1603.  He  was  educated  at  the  Guildford  Grammar  School,  but 
before  the  age  of  fifteen  was  removed  to  London,  where  he  became  a  successful 
trader,  and  tree  of  the  Merchant-Taylors'  Company.  He  was  buried  in  his  native 
parish  in  1676,  and  a  brass  plate  as  a  monument,  upon  which  are  inscribed  some 

3oaint  lines  of  his  own  composition,  was  affixed  to  the  wall  of  the  south  aisle  of 
t.  Nicholas  Church.  By  nis  will,  dated  November  15,  1676,  he  devised  the 
thirteen  messuages  and  a  workshop  in  Walnut-tree  Alley  to  trustees  for  the  benefit 
of  the  poor  of  his  native  place  under  an  elaborate  series  of  regulations. 

The  property  was  sold  under  the  Act  for  rebuilding  London  Bridge,  and  the 
proceeds  used  for  the  building  and  sustenance  of  certain  almshouses  in  Guildford, 
which  bear  the  name  of  their  founder  to  this  day. 

In  1757,  upon  some  of  the  ground  in  the  alley,  was  built  the  Carter  Lane 
Chapel,  which  was  opened  on  October  9  in  that  year  by  Dr.  Gill,  the  pastor, 
when  he  preached  an  eloquent  sermon  from  Exod.  xx.  24.  After  its  demolition 
for  the  new  London  Bridge  approaches,  the  congregation  met  in  New  Park  Street 
Chapel ;  after  that  at  the  Surrey  Gardens ;  and  lastly  at  the  Metropolitan 
Tabernacle,  and  in  1854  the  Rev.  C.  H.  Spurgeon  became  pastor.  In  imagina- 
tion we  may,  therefore,  picture,  as  Dr.  Rendle  says,  the  Conqueror  visiting 
his  step-daughter  at  the  house  of  her  husband,  the  Earl  de  Warrenne— the  Inn  of 
the  Pnors  of  Lewes  (the  foundation  of  the  Warrennes),  the  Grammar  School  of 
Queen  Elizabeth,  and  the  hostelry  of  the  Walnut-tree,  the  residence  of  Oliver's 
waggoner,  and  the  munificent  bequest  to  his  native  town,  and  the  congregation  of 
Baptists  all  occupying  almost  exactly  the  same  spot,  of  which  this  token  is  now 
the  only  visible  memento. 

From  Wilton's  "  Antiquities  of  Dissenting  Chapels  "  we  learn  that  the  pastor  of 
Carter  Lane  Chapel  was  a  man  of  vast  learning,  an  eminent  Hebraist,  and 
acquainted  with  the  Rabbinical  works,  and  with  many  Oriental  languages.  He 
was  a  personal  friend  of  the  celebrated  Toplady.  He  was  minister  of  the  chapel 
till  his  death,  in  1771. 

Dr.  Gill's  pulpit  is  preserved  and  still  used  by  the  students  at  the  Pastor's 
College,  established  by  the  Rev.  C  H.  Spurgeon.  Dr.  Gill  was  succeeded  by 
Dr.  Rippon,  who  was  pastor  from  1773  to  1836,  there  being  but  two  pastors  of 
this  congregation  in  one  hundred  and  seventeen  years.  Dr.  Rippon  was  also  a 
sun  of  remarkable  power  and  merit  His  congregation  was  a  wealthy  and 
influential  one,  and  the  pastor  was  the  founder  of  what  is  now  the  Baptist  Home 
Mission,  the  editor  of  the  Baptist  Register,  and  the  author  of  many  works.  Amongst

them  was  one  which  never  reached  the  press,  a  history  of  those  who  lay  buried  in 
Bunhill  Fields.  He  presented  and  read  an  address  to  George  III.,  on  his 
recovery  from  illness,  on  behalf  of  Metropolitan  Dissenters,  and  founded  alms- 
houses and  schools  in  connection  with  his  meeting-house.  The  site  of  these 
almshouses  was  sold  in  1867,  and  new  buildings  erected  near  the  Elephant  and 
Castle.

noble  martyrs — men  belonging  to  all  forms  of  the  Christian  religion — walked  to 
their  doom  into  that  most  miserable  of  prisons,  the  Clink. — [R.  and  N.,  521.] 

Stow  called  the  Clink  "  A  Gaole  or  Prison  for  the  Trespassers  in  those  parts, 
namely,  in  old  tyme  for  such  as  should  brabble,  fray,  or  break  the  peace  on  the

Mill  Lane,  Tooley  Street,  and  was  the  prison  for  the  City  Court  of  Record,  and 
also  used  for  prisoners  committed  by  the  Court  of  Conscience.  It  was  a  most 
horrible  place ;  no  bedding  or  even  straw  was  allowed ;  no  fire,  no  medical 
attendance,  and  no  religious  attention.

DEADMAN'S  PLACE. 

Deadman's  Place  was  in  1 62 1  the  site  of  the  old  Brownist  meeting-house,  built 
by  Henry  Jacob  in  1616,  in  the  register  of  which  is  the  entry,  under  1770,  of  the 
banal  of  Mr.  Cruden,  the  author  of  the  celebrated  Concordance.  In  1732  in 
Deadman's  Place  was  an  alley,  called  Globe  Alley,  leading  to  the  renowned  Globe 
Playhouse.  In  165 1  partly  in  Maid  Lane,  but  close  upon  the  site  and  foundations 
of  this  playhouse,  the  Globe  Alley  Chapel  was  built,  and  was  in  use  well  on  to 
the  last  century.  In  167677  Richard  Baxter,  of  the  "  Saints'  Rest,"  occupied  the 
pulpit. 

The  playhouse  was  burnt  in  1613,  but  a  second  erected  upon  the  same  site,  and 
that  which  was  pulled  down  in  1644  will  always  have  a  world-wide  repute,  from 
its  connection  with  Shakespeare,  and  the  very  land  is  of  sacred  import  to  the 
whole  English-speaking  world.  The  Globe  Theatre  was  built  in  the  reijjn  of  Queen 
Elizabeth,  and  James  L  granted  a  patent  to  Shakespeare  and  his  associates  to  play 
plays  "as  within  theire  then  usuall  house,  called  the  Globe,  in  the  countie  of 
Surrey,  as  elsewhere. "  Ben  Jonson  calls  it  '*  the  glory  of  the  Bank  and  the  fort  of 
the  whole  parish." 

The  land  is  all  included  in  the  great  Anchor  Brewery  of  Messrs.  Barclay  and 
Perkins.  It  was  this  brewery  that,  upon  the  death  of  its  owner,  Mr.  Thrale,  was 
sold  by  Dr.  Johnson  and  the  other  three  executors  for  j£  135,000  ;  and  upon  this 
occasion  the  often-auoted  words  were  used,  that  "  they  were  not  there  to  sell  a 
parcel  of  boilers  ana  vats,  but  the  potentiality  of  growing  rich  beyond  the  dreams 
of  avarice,**  words  which  the  later  history  of  the  brewery  has  proved  to  be  more 
than  mere  rodomontade. — [R.  and  N.]

FARTHING  ALLEY. 

Farthing  Alley  and  Halfpenny  Alley  were  the  two  narrow  passages  leading  to 
Jacob's  Island,  Dockhead,  a  spot  that,  although  most  horrible  in  character  at  the 
time,  will  always  be  remembered  as  the  site  of  the  tragedy  in  Dickens's  most 
popular  work,  "  Oliver  Twist"  Dickens's  graphic  description  of  the  filth  and 
wretchedness  of  this  alley  and  of  Folly  Ditch  and  the  Island  was  not  one  whit 
overdrawn  ;  and  as  late  as  1876  a  similarly  repulsive  picture  of  it  was  sketched  in 
bold  outline  by  the  London  City  Mission.  It  was  a  thriving  nursery  for 
immorality,  which  has  now  been  wholly  swept  away.

Stow  in  1598  mentions  an  inn,  the  sign  of  which  is  Three  Flowers  de  Lace,  a 
resort  for  French  traders,  and  refers  to  "  other  buildings  of  small  tenements  there- 
upon builded  replenished  with  strangers  and  others,  for  the  most  part  poor 
people." 

Taylor,  the  water-poet,  rhymes  : 

"  French  flowers  doth  show  there's  good  French  wine  to  sell, 
Which  he  that  tries  will  find,  and  like  it  well." 

Dr.  Renale  states  that  in  1565  one  Humphrey  Roydon  did  his  baking  business 
within  the  Fleur-de-lis,  etc  In  1634-35  the  tenant  of  the  Flower  de  Luce  is  to 
supply  diet  and  provision  for  the  Dean  of  Canterbury  on  his  coming  to  London  for 
audit  and  other  business. 

In  the  reign  of  William  IJI.  a  meeting-house  was  erected  in  the  court  for  a 
society  of  Particular  Baptists,  and  a  Mr.  Samuel  Ince  was  the  pastor.  In  the  time 
of  his  successor,  Mr.  Edward  Wallin,  a  new  meeting-house  was  erected  at  the 
Maze  Pond,  where  the  church  still  assembled  in  1814. 

In  1656,  in  a  terrier  of  the  property  and  rentals  of  the  St.  Olave's  Grammar 
School  there  is  this  entry  : 

"  One  called  the  Flower  de  Luce,  then  the  Jack-wheel,  near  Tooiyes  Watergate, 
£6  per  annum."

FOUL  LANE. 


In  Foal  Lane  stood  the  Green  Dragon,  in  1309  the  residence  of  the  Cobhams, 
and  referred  to  in  1369  in  the  will  of  Joan  Lady  Cobham  as  her  hostel,  and  still 
known  in  1652  as  Cobham  Inn.  In  1700  it  was  the  centre  of  the  penny  post  in 
Sonthwark.  It  was  one  of  the  six  Metropolitan  offices.  "  One  penny  is  to  be  paid 
it  the  receiving-houses,  and  the  messenger  may  take  for  his  own  pains  and  care  one 
penny  for  each  letter  for  delivery,  but  no  more." — [R.  and  N.,  297.] 

The  lane  derived  its  name  in  all  probability  from  Bartholomew  Fowle,  who  was 
Prior  of  the  house  of  Canons  of  St  Augustine  at  St.  Mary  Overie  at  the  time  of

GOAT  YARD. 

The  Goat  Inn,  which  gave  its  name  to  this  yard,  is  mentioned  in  1557  in  the 
win  of  Robert  Graynesbrowe,  who  lived  at  the  signe  of  the  Goate. 

In  Goat  Yard  was  a  wooden  building  erected  in  1672  for  the  Particular  Baptist 
congregation,  under  the  pastoral  care  of  the  famous  Benjamin  Keach. 

lilts  was  the  first  church  among  the  Baptists  who  practised  singing  in  public 
worship.  Mr.  Keach  met  with  great  opposition  at  its  introduction,  and  a  division 
in  his  church  was  the  consequence.  The  chapel  was  erected  immediately  upon 
the  issue  of  King  Charles  II. 's  Indulgence  for  Protestant  Dissenters. 

Tne  chape)  was  closen  in  1757.  The  pastor,  Keach,  was  a  man  of  very  deter-

Instructor,"  he  was  summoned  before  the  assizes  at  Aylesbury,  October  8,  1664, 
and  committed  to  the  pillory  both  at  that  town  and  at  Winslow,  the  scene  of  his 
labours  at  that  time.  The  meeting-house  built  in  this  small  alley  was  erected  for 
him  after  the  congregation  had  left  the  house  in  Jacob's  Street,  where  they  first 
worshipped.  The  building  stood  in  a  court,  says  Pike  in  his  "  Nonconformity  in 
Southwark,"  and  had  a  pretty  avenue  of  limes  leading  up  to  the  door,  and  it  was 
the  first  meeting-house  possessed  for  divine  worship  by  the  Baptists  at  Southwark, 
whose  lineal  descendants  are  the  congregation  now  worshipping  at  the  Metropolitan 
Tabernacle.

The  Isle  of  Dogs  is  in  the  County  of  Middlesex,  but  as  the  token  gives  it  to 
Southwark  it  is  so  placed. 

It  is  possible,  however,  that  the  token  refers  to  the  Isle  of  Ducks,  which  was  a 
spot  on  the  south  side  of  Tooley  Street,  near  the  middle  of  the  street,  and  which  is 
referred  to  in  a  work  published  in  the  time  of  Queen  Anne  called  "  TTie  New  View 
of  London"  (1708). 

The  estate  is  now  the  property  of  Magdalen  College,  Oxford. 

JACOB  STREET. 

Possibly  so  called  from  Richard  Jacob,  vintner,  who  left  to  the  prisoners  in 
each  of  the  three  Southwark  prisons,  £*.,  White  Lion,  King's  Bench,  and  Marshal- 
sea,  ^40  per  annum,  according  to  Stow. 

In  a  pnvate  house  in  Jacob  Street  first  met  the  Anabaptist  congregation  tinder 
the  pastorate  of  Benjamin  Keach,  who  afterwards  moved  to  Goat  Vara.  While  so 
meeting  the  congregation  was  interrupted  by  the  churchwardens  and  constables,

KINGS  BENCH. 

The  King's  Bench  was  on  the  east  side  of  the  Borough  High  Street,  south  of  the 
Mirshahea.  In  the  latter  half  of  last  century  it  was  removed  to  the  corner  of 
ttackman  Street  and  Borough  Road.  It  eventually  became  the  Queen's  Bench, 
mm  abolished  as  a  prison  for  .debtors  in  i860,  and  has  since  been  destroyed.

A  large  business  was  done  at  the  gaol  tap  of  the  King's  Bench  Prison,  from

Five  hundred  butts  of  ale  were  drawn  in  one  year  at  the  common  side,  in  an 
outbreak  ( 1 771)  the  prisoners,  suspecting  that  the  strong  beer  was  unduly  weakened, 
some  6fty  butts  belonging  to  the  tap  were  destroyed,  *.<?.,  by  way  of  impressing  the 
fact  upon  the  authorities.  The  gaols  were  at  that  time,  in  deed  and  in  name, 
bdls.— [R.  and  N.,  54.] 

In  1 38 1  Stow  tells  us  that  the  rebels  under  Wat  Tyler  "  brake  down  the  houses 
of  the  Marshalsea  and  King's  Bench  and  tooke  from  thence  the  prisoners." 

Henry,  Prince  of  Wales,  afterwards  Henry  V.,  was  committed  on  the  memorable 
occasion  by  Sir  William  Gascoigne  to  this  prison.  Baxter  was  confined  there  for 
eighteen  months  for  his  notes  on  the  New  Testament,  and  Rushworth  died  there 
in  169a  It  was  set  on  fire  in  1780  by  the  rioters  under  Lord  George  Gordon  and 
the  prisoners  liberated.

KENT  STREET. 

Kent  Street  has  been  the  scene  of  splendid  cavalcades  and  processions.  Chaucer's 
pilgrims  rode  along  it.  The  Black  Prince  and  Jack  Cade  both  travelled  along 
that  street ;  and  in  1597  the  Emperor  Charles  V.,  with  great  state,  accompanied  our 
Henry  VIII.  into  London,  acting  their  diplomatic  play  as  it  were  before  the  eyes 
of  the  people.  About  a  mile  from  St.  George's  Bar,  at  the  end  of  Kent  Street 
(now  Great  Dover  Street),  was  a  tent  of  cloth  of  gold  put  up,  in  which  the  royal 
folk  reposed  while  the  heralds  marshalled  the  procession. — [R.  and  N.,  384.] 

In  Kent  Street  in  1778  was  born  Joseph  Lancaster,  the  educationist.

In  the  Southwark  signs  we  have  the  bear,  the  bear  and  ragged  staff,  the  bear's 
claw,  all  colours  and  variations  of  bears.  They  tell  of  very  important  conditions 
in  the  old  history  of  the  Bankside  Bear  Garden,  par  excellence  the  place  of  rough 
entertainment.  Some  of  the  signs  were  cognisance  of  old  families,  "  My  father's 
badge,  old  Nevil's  crest,  the  rampant  bear  chained  to  the  ragged  staff.** 
("Henry  VI.,  Part  II.,M  Act  5.)  Some  recall  the  sports  which  in  those  coarser 
times  were  the  recognised  enjoyment  of  high  and  low." — [R.  and  N.,  333.] 

The  baiting  of  bears  was  the  favourite  diversion  as  early  as  the  time  of 
Henry  II.  Stow,  writing  in  1598,  speaks  of  the  two  bear  gardens  "  on  the  Banke 
of  the  Thames,  wherein  are  kept  beares  to  be  bay  ted,  as  also  mastives." 
Richard  III.  appointed  a  royal  bear-ward,  named  John  Browne,  "  Master  Guider 
and  Ruler  of  all  the  Beares  and  Asses  belonging  to  the  Crowne,"  and  the  office 
existed  until  1639.  Edward  Alleyn,  the  founder  of  Dulwich  College,  kept  the 
Bear  Garden  en  the  Bankside  during  the  times  of  Queen  Elizabeth  and  Jas.  I. 
The  garden  was  closed  in  1642  and  the  ground  sold,  and  in  1686  his  Majesty's 
Bear  Garden  was  removed  to  ClerkenwelL 

One  of  the  Bear  Gardens  mentioned  by  Stow  (see  under  Bridge  Foot)  was  after- 
wards converted  into  the  Hope  Playhouse,  in  which,  in  1014,  Ben  Jooson's 
M  Bartholomew  Fair  n  was  first  acted.

MAID   LANE. 

In  Maid  Lane  and  Globe  Alley,  a  passage  leading  therefrom,  originally  stood 
the  Globe  Playhouse,  immortalized  by  having  been  the  place  where  (it  is  stated  by 
Nicholas  Rowe,  writing  in  1709)  Shakespeare  first  trod  the  stage,  although  in  no 
higher  character  than  the  Ghost  in  his  own  play  of  "  Hamlet."  Hard  by  was  erected 
in  1672  a  Presbyterian  meeting-house,  a  good  capacious  wooden  building,  with 
three  large  galleries.  Its  first  minister  was  Mr.  Thomas  Wadsworth,  the  ejected 
Rector  of  St  Lawrence  Pountney,  London.  The  congregation  met  in  this  build- 
ing till  1752.     Richard  Baxter  was  minister  here  in  1676.

known  as  Separatists  and  Brownists.  The  house  was  then  kept  by  one  Owen,  and  the 
minister  to  the  congregation. was  the  celebrated  Mr.  Caryl,  at  one  time  Rector  of 
Sl  Magnus.  Caryl  was  ejected  on  Black  Bartholomew's  Day,  August  24,  1662, 
and  was  invited  by  his  Separatist  congregation  to  be  their  pastor.  He  was  the 
author  of  an  enormous  work,  entitled  "  Tbe  Exposition  on  the  Book  of  Job,"  an 
exhaustive  and  most  valuable  treatise  on  that  portion  of  Holy  Scripture.

The  brewing  house  of  Child,  the  predecessor  of  Halsey,  Thrale  and  Barclay,  and 
the  friend  of  John  Bunyan,  bore  the  sign  of  the  anchor.  Child,  being  an  owner  of 
ships  and  a  contractor  for  the  navy,  probably  originated  the  sign  for  his  brewhouse. 

The  issuer  of  this  token  lived  near,  and  probably  carried  on  a  small  business ; 
but  Dr.  Rendle  says,  "  This  small  anchor  may  have  given  a  hint  of  the  name  and 
have  been  absorbed  in  the  brewery  ;  we  can  only  conjecture." — [R.  and  N.f  65.]

MARGARET  HILL. 

St.  Margaret  Hill  derived  its  name  from  the  parish  church  of  St  Margaret, 
which  was  suppressed  in  the  year  1540. 

Upon  the  site  of  the  church  there  was  a  Town  Hall,  erected  in  1686  at  the  charge  of 
the  City  of  London.  It  is  now  covered  by  the  London  and  County  Bank  and  by- 
Town  Hall  chambers. — [R.  and  N.,  204.]

THE  MARSHALSEA. 

The  Marshalsea,  Stow  tells  us,  was  "  so  called  as  pertaining  to  the  Marshall©  of 
England."  It  was  broken  open  by  Wat  Tyler  in  1381,  and  Sir  John  I m worth, 
Marshal  and  Governor  of  the  prison,  beheaded.  The  building  was  demolished  in 
1842. 

The  jurisdiction  of  the  Marshalsea  was  of  the  highest  antiquity,  and  in  rank  and 
dignity  had  none  to  surpass  it.  It  was  coeval  with  common  law,  and  until  1332 
there  was  no  appeal  from  it.  The  cruelty  pursued  by  this  potent  Court  in  their 
most  horrible  prison  was  most  dreadful,  and  such  enormous  oppressions  were 
revealed  in  1729,  by  a  committee  of  inspection,  that  the  indignation  of  the  House 
knew  no  bounds.  The  chairman  of  the  committee  was  General  Oglethorpe,  of 
Westbrook,  Godalming,  and  the  Deputy-Warden  Acton  was  prosecuted  for  no  less 
than  five  murders  in  the  prison. 

Thomson,  in  his  "  Seasons,"  undei  Winter,  has  some  very  energetic  and  noble 
lines  with  reference  to  this  inquiry. 

Bonner,  quondam  Bishop  of  London,  was  imprisoned  for  ten  years  in  the 
Marshalsea  for  refusal  to  take  the  oath  of  allegiance  to  Elizabeth,  and  died  there 
September  5,  1569.

This  was  probably  issued  at  the  gaol-tap  of  the  Marshalsea.  Very  much  ale 
was  consumed  at  these  gaol-taps,  the  miserable  people  confined  in  the  prisons  try- 
ing to  drown  sorrow  or  "  kill  time  "  by  drinking.  Six  hundred  pots  of  beer  were 
supplied  at  the  Marshalsea  on  a  Sunday  afternoon  for  the  purpose,  so  Howard  says 
in  his  book  on  prisons.  So  horrible  had  the  gaols  become  in  1718  that  in  that 
year  a  descriptive  pamphlet  was  published,  entitled  "The  Marshalsea;  or,  Hell 
in  Epitome."— [R.  and  N.,  54.] 

Mr.  Norman  informs  us  that  the  later  Marshalsea,  built  in  181 1,  was  not  on  the 
site  of  the  old  building,  but  considerably  further  south.  Some  trace  of  it  stfll 
remains.  The  entrance  of  the  older  prison  was  between  Mermaid  Court  or  Alley, 
and  Axe  and  Bottle  Yard,  now  Newcomen  Street  *

THE  MAZE  and  MAZE  POND. 

The  Maze  formed  part  of  the  garden  of  the  Abbots  of  Battle,  and  was  attached 
to  "  Battel]  House,"  their  town  residence. 
The  Pond  was  a  pool  in  the  same  garden  for  "  fancy  fysshe." 
There  was  a  Particular  Baptist  meeting-house  in  Maze  Pond  originated  by  those 
who  separated  from  Benjamin  Keach's  church  in  Goat  Yard  (q.  v. ),  occasioned  by 
a  difference  of  opinion  upon  the  subject  of  singing  in  public  worship.  Mr.  Samuel 
Mee  was  first  pastor  in  1691,  and  the  church  existed  till  at  least  1814.

MERMAID  COURT. 

Strype  relates  of  Mermaid  Court  in  1720  that  it  is  "  an  open  court  indifferently 
veil  built  and  inhabited,  having  a  long  passage  down  steps  to  a  bowling-green  by 
1  ditch."    The  Mermaid  Inn  stood  in  the  thick  of  the  Southwark  Fair,  and  is 
referred  to  in  a  grant  of  1 55 1.     Taylor,  the  water-poet,  speaking  of  it,  says : 
"  This  Mayd  is  strange  (in  shape)  to  Man  appearing, 
Shee's  neither  Fish  nor  Flesh  nor  good  Red  Hearing. 
What  is  Shee  then  ?  a  Signe  to  represent

THE  MINT. 

The  Mint  was  opposite  St.  George's  Church,  and  was  in  the  seventeenth 
century  an  Alsatia  or  refuge  for  the  worst  and  lowest  people. 

Henry  VIII.  established  a  mint  there  for  coinage.  The  Mint  was  first  carried 
on  in  Suffolk  House,  the  residence  of  the  King's  brother-in-law,  Charles  Brandon, 
Duke  of  Suffolk,  and  when  the  King  took  over  his  house  as  a  mint  he  gave  the 
Duke  in  exchange  the  house  of  the  Bishop  of  Norwich,  in  St.  Martin's  in- the- Fields. 

In  the  Mint  in  1832  the  first  case  of  Asiatic  cholera  appeared  in  the  Metropolis. 
Tbe  Harrow  and  Three  Bells  were  the  two  chief  inns  in  the  Mint.

MONTAGUE  CLOSE. 

Montague  Close,  the  space  of  ground  between  the  church  of  St.  Mary  Overy 
and  the  river,  was  for  hundreds  of  years  the  priory  cloister,  the  quiet  home  of 
Augustiuian  canons.  After  the  dissolution,  Sir  Anthony  Browne,  Viscount  Mon- 
tague, acquired  the  property  and  built  here  a  town  mansion.  The  Montagues 
were  a  stanch  Catholic  family,  and  under  their  favour  the  Close  became  a  refuge  to 
which  persons  hunted  on  account  of  their  religion  fled.  Later  it  came  into  the  hands 
of  the  Marshalls,  Overman,  and  other  rich  people  who  had  advanced  money  to 
the  Montague  family.  About  1830  part  of  the  Close  was  taken  down  to  make  room 
for  approaches  to  New  London  Bridge.  It  now  still  exists  by  name,  the  site  chiefly 
occupied  by  wharves. — [R.  and  N.,  317-19.] 

Overman  was  a  rich  soap-boiler  and  local  magnate,  and  a  charitable  lady  of  the 
family  built  in  1770*71  some  one-storied  picturesque  almshouses  at  the  corner  of  the 
Close,  that  were  but  lately  removed. 

One  of  the  issuers,  No.  322,  bears  the  well-known  name,  and  was  probably  a 
member  of  the  same  family.

PICKLE  HERRING  STAIRS  {near  Tooley  Street). 

Pickle  Herring  was  a  noted  brewing  centre,  and  the  landing-place,  wharf,  and 
street,  received  the  same  name.  It  was  also  a  centre  for  the  Yarmouth  herring 
trade,  and  hence  may  have  possibly  obtained  its  name.

ST.  GEORGE'S  FIELDS. 

These  Fields,  once  the  resort  of  the  fashionable  world  to  drink  the  waters  at  tie 
Dog  and  Duck  and  Restoration,  are  now  the  site  of  Bethlem  Hospital,  the  Schcol 
for  Indigent  Blind,  Orphan  Asylum,  Freemason's  Charity  and  Magdalen. 

It  is  possible  that  No.  224  may  refer  to  the  more  notorious  Dog  and  Duck  in  St 
George  s  Fields,  which  in  the  last  century  was  a  fashionable  resort,  and  later  a  haint 
of  dissipation.  Let  into  the  wall  of  the  garden  at  Bethlehem  is  a  sign  of  the  Dog 
and  Duck  sculptured  in  stone  similar  to  mat  on  the  token.

The  Restoration  Gardens  were  so  called  from  the  presence  of  a  restorirte 
spring.  According  to  an  advertisement  of  1733,  it  was  "  a  verv  ^nc  chalyhatc 
spring  of  the  nature  of  Piermont- water,  but  superior.  The  water  could  be  had 
fresh  daily  at  the  gardens,  and  at  a  cork-cutter's  under  Exeter  Change,  inthe 
Strand."

mark  ;  it  is  also  found  on  an  uncial  coin  of  Rome.  In  Germany  it  is  called  "  Dm- 
denfuss,"  or  wizard's-foot ;  readers  of  "  Faust  "  will  remember  the  scene  in  which 
Goethe  represents  Mephistopheles  as  unable  to  escape  from  Faust's  study  because 
of  the  wizard's-foot  on  the  threshold. 

A  similar  device,  composed  of  two  triangles,  one  inverted  on  the  other,  called 
Solomon's  Seal,  is  now  used  in  the  East  to  avert  the  influence  of  the  evil-eye ; 
it  is  always  found  suspended  from  new  buildings,  and  is  formed  of  six  pieces  of 
wood.  The  modern  cast  copper  money  of  Morocco  has  this  device  filling  the 
whole  field,  and  on  the  reverse  the  date.  It  occurs  as  a  merchant's  mark  00 
the  token  of  James  Elliot,  of  Bideford,  and  is  frequently  found  in  the  stained  glass 
of  old  churches.

The  White  Hart  Inn,  which  is  possibly  also  alluded  to  in  No.  389,  was  one  of 
the  most  important  of  old  South  wark  inns. 

As  Dr.  Rendle  tells  us  it  is  embalmed  in  English  history  and  in  the  pages  of 
Shakespeare.  It  was  Jack  Cade's  headquarters  when  he  dominated  London  in 
1450,  and  is  the  subject  of  constant  reference  in  the  "  Paston  Letters."  It  was  a 
few  steps  from  the  White  Hart,  we  learn,  that  the  celebrated  conference  took 
place  between  Waynflete,  Bishop  of  Winchester,  and  Cade,  which  ended  in  the 
dispersal  of  the  riot. 

The  inn  is  mentioned  in  1529  as  the  place  of  meeting  between  Thomas  Cromwell, 
tnd  an  anonymous  person,  "one  R.,"  who  desired  to  see  him. 

In  1637  it  comes  into  prominent  notice  in  connection  with  the  Southwark  riots 
and  rising  against  Laud. 

In  1670  it  was  burnt  down,  but  speedily  rebuilt. 

Charles  Dickens  has  immortalized  it  in  "  Pickwick,"  and  Mr.  Waller  refers  to  it 
in  the  u  Gentleman's  Magazine  M  of  April,  1855. 

In  July,  1889,  the  last  remains  of  this  historical  old  inn  were  levelled  to  the 
ground.

SNOW'S  FIELDS. 

In  Snow's  Fields  stood  a  small  Welsh  Dissenting  chapel,  which  was  John  Wesley's 
place  of  worship,  built  by  himself,  when  he  first  preached  the  Gospel  in  South- 
ward    In  it  he  first  preached  August  18,  1764. 

In  1816  the  old  chapel  had  become  on  the  week-days  a  "court  of  requests "  for 
the  recovery  of  small  debts,  and  on  Sundays  a  Methodist  Sunday-school. 

There  was  another  chapel  in  Snow's  Fields,  built  by  a  Mrs.  Ginn  in  1736,  and  to 
which  Wesley,  in  his  diary,  under  date  August  6,  1745,  refers :  "  A  convenient 
chapel  was  offered  me  in  Snow's  Fields,  the  other  side  the  water.  It  was  built  on 
purpose,  it  seems,  by  a  poor  Arian  misbeliever,  for  the  defence  and  propagation  of 
her  bad  faith.  But  the  wisdom  of  God  brought  that  device  to  nought,  and  ordered 
by  His  over-ruling  providence  that  it  should  be  employed,  not  for  crucifying  the 
Son  of  God  afresh,  but  for  calling  all  to  believe  on  His  name."  John  Wesley  only 
used  this  chapel  for  a  short  time,  and  then  built  the  other.

STONY  LANE  (Tooley  Street). 

Sir  John  Fastolfe  had  his  great  house  in  Stoney  Lane,  which  was  of  such  pre- 
tensions as  to  be  called  a  palace,  and  here  the  mother  of  the  Duke  of  York,  after- 
wards Edward  IV.,  was  lodged  once  upon  occasion.  The  house  is  spoken  of  at 
the  time  as  "  ffostal."— [R.  and  N.,  32.]

THREE  CRANE  YARD. 

There  was  a  Three  Crane  Yard  between  the  George  and  the  White  Hart, 
Soathwark  ;  and  another  inn  of  the  same  name  on  the  Bankside  is  referred  to  by 
the  old  gossip  Pepys.  Under  date  1666  he  states :  "  When  we  could  endure  no 
more  upon  the  water,  we  went  to  a  little  alehouse  on  the  Bankside  over  against  the 
Three  Cranes,  and  there  staid  till  it  was  dark  almost,  and  saw  the  fire  grow,  and, 
as  H  grew  darker,  appeared  more  and  more,  and  in  corners,  and  upon  steeples  and 
between  churches  and  houses,  as  far  as  we  could  see  up  the  hill  of  the  City,  in  a 
most  horrid,  malicious  bloody  flame,  not  like  the  fair  flame  of  an  ordinary  fire." 

In  Three  Crane  Alley  (mentioned  as  near  to  Tooley  Street)  was  also  situated  a 
small  wooden  meeting-house  occupied  by  a  society  of  Particular  Baptists.  The 
pastor  was  one  Thomas  Wilcox,  born  1622,  who  escaped  from  the  Plague  of 
London  over  into  South wark,  and  was  minister  of  this  congregation  until  his 
death,  in  1687.  The  map  of  Rocque  and  Horwood  do  not  mention  any  house 
called  the  Three  Cranes  in  Tooley  Street,  and  it  is  very  doubtful  where  to  place 
tins  token.  It  may  have  been  by  an  error  of  the  die-sinker  that  it  was  referred  to 
St  Olives  or  Tooley  Street.

TOOLEY  STREET. 

Tooley  is  a  corruption  of  St.  Olave,  King  of  Norway,  who  was  slain  in  fight  by 
his  rebellious  subjects  in  1030 ;  the  church  in  Tooley  Street  is  dedicated  to  him.

The  Boar's  Head  was  the  property  of  Sir  John  Fastolfe. 

Vide  Stony  Lane. 

This  ran  Dr.  Rendle  believes  to  indicate  the  site  of  the  birthplace  of  John  Harvard, 
foaader  of  the  Harvard  University  in  the  United  States.  Robert  Harvard,  his  father, 
carried  on  the  business  of  a  butcher  in  1607  in  one  of  the  shops  exactly  opposite  to 
Boar's  Head  Court    These  shops  were  taken  down  in  1829.— [R.  and  N.,  115.]

The  Ram's  Head  by  the  river,  next  St.  Olave's  Church,  is  mentioned  in  the 
map  of  1542.  It  was  an  ancient  inn,  and  belonged  to  Sir  John  Fastolfe.  Taylor, 
the  water-poet,  in  1630  refers  to  it  in  his  rhyme  thus  : 

"  At  Ram  or  Ram's  Head  be  it  known  to  all 
Are  wine  predominant,  and  capitall 
To  set  a  horseman  quite  beside  the  saddle, 
And  make  a  footman's  pericranium  addle."

heads,  which,  with  the  issuer's  or  receiver's,  formed  the 
complement  of  the  three  loggerheads.  J 

This  humorous  sign  is  probably  referred  to  by  Shakespeare  in  the  following 
lines : 
Sir  Andrew  :  Here  comes  the  fool,  i'  faith. 

(Enter  CUrwn.) 
Clown  :  How  now,  my  hearts  !    Did  you  never  see  the  picture  of  we  three?

West  of  the  Falcon  Stairs  Ferry  and  inn  was  the  house  and  landing  for  the  King's 
barges— Old  Barge  House  Alley  of  the  present  Ordnance  Map.  In  1515  a  charge

WINCHESTER  YARD  and  STREET. 

Winchester  House,  the  town  mansion  of  the  Bishops  of  Winchester,  gave  the 
name  to  these  localities.  The  house  was  built  by  Bishop  William  Giflbrd,  1107. 
During  the  time  of  the  Commonwealth  it  was  used  as  a  prison  for  the  confinemett 
of  Loyalists,  and  after  Charles  I.'s  death  was  sold,  September  26,  1649,  to  Thomas 
Walker,  of  Camberwell,  for  £4,380  8s.  3d.    At  the  Restoration  it  reverted  to  tbt

SOUTHWARK.  1047 

See  of  Winchester,  bat  having  become  dilapidated,  an  Act  passed  1663  empowered 
Bishop  George  Morley  to  lease  it  out. 

The  old  palace  gradually  became  ruinous,  but  considerable  remains  were  exposed 
to  light  in  1814,  when  a  great  fire  destroyed  some  modern  warehouses  surrounding 
it    There  is  a  unique  drawing  of  it  in  the  Guildhall  Library.— {R.  and  N.,  46.] 

In  1692  a  portion  of  the  house  was  formed  into  a  place  of  worship  for  the  use  of 
a  society  of  Particular  Baptists,  many  of  whom  were  Fifth  Monarchy  men  and 
Sabelhans.  The  congregation  was  severely  censured  on  March  25,  1705,  by  the 
Association  of  Baptists  on  account  of  disorderly  habits  and  strange  opinions,  and 
was  cat  off  from  membership  with  the  association.  It  continued,  however,  to  meet 
till  1738. 

Soine  of  the  land,  at  one  time  the  park  to  Winchester  House,  is  still  the  property 
of  the  See,  and  is  held  on  lease  from  the  See  by  Messrs.  Pott,  the  vinegar  brewers, 
as  the  site  of  their  manufactory.

We  imagine  that  this  token  must  refer  to  Zoar  Street,  although  we  do  not  find 
any  reference  to  a  Swan  Inn  in  that  street.  Zoar  Street  will  always  be  remembered 
m  history  from  the  fact  of  the  meeting-house  that  stood  there  being  the  scene  of 
the  preaching  of  the  celebrated  John  Bunyan.  The  meeting-house,  we  learn  from 
Maiming  and  Bray,  belonged  to  Dr.  Thomas  Barlow,  Bishop  of  Lincoln,  who  per- 
mitted Bunyan,  as  the  friend  of  his  old  pupil,  Dr.  John  Owen,  to  deliver  his  dis- 
courses there.  Barlow  was  a  bishop,  who,  by  virtue  of  being  a  willow  and  not  an 
oak,  succeeded  in  retaining  his  position  during  the  troublous  times  in  which  he 
fived.     He  was  Bishop  of  Lincoln  in  1675,  *&&  died  in  1691. 

Bunyan  was  committed  on  three  occasions  to  prison  for  presuming  to  preach, 
and  was  confined  altogether  for  a  period  of  twelve  years  and  a  half,  but  was  at 
length  discharged  by  the  interposition  of  Dr.  Barlow  in  1676.     While  in  prison  the

third  time  in  Bedford  Bridge  Gaol  he  wrote  his  immortal  work,  "  The  Pilgrim's 
Progress." 

A  Presbyterian  meeting-house  was  built  in  Zoar  Street  in  1687  at  a  cost  of  £360, 
and  was  a  good  building,  with  three  galleries.  The  first  minister  was  an  ejected 
divine,  one  Mr.  John  Chester. 

In  connection  with  this  chapel  there  was  a  school  afterwards  termed  the  Gravel 
Lane  Charity  School,  which  Mr.  Waller  Wilson's  book,  already  referred  to,  states 
was  one  of  the  first  charity  schools  in  which  Protestant  Dissenters  were  especially 
concerned.  Bunyan  possibly  preached  in  the  meeting-house  before  the  erection 
of  the  later  building  in  1687,  but  it  is  equally  probable  that  by  permission  of  the 
Presbyterians  he  occupied  the  pulpit  of  their  meeting  on  the  occasion  of  his  last 
visit  to  London  in  1688,  immediately  preceding  his  decease. 


NOTE. 

Tokens  issued  from  taverns  where  lodges  of  Freemasons  were  held  in  the  reign  cf 

Queen  Anne. 

On  reference  to  the  extremely  rare  plate  of  French  origin,  referred  to  in  Vol.  I., 
page  803,  in  which  the  signs  of  the  headquarters  of  all  the  English  lodges,  129  in 
number,  are  engraved,  we  find  that  three  lodges  met  in  Southwark.  One  was  at 
the  Bull,  or  Black  Bull  {vide  No.  80) ;  another  at  the  King's  Arms,  St  Margarets 
Hill,  and  at  a  tavern  at  St.  Saviour's  Dock,  the  sign  of  which  it  is  not  easy  to 
identify.     It  has  the  appearance  of  being  the  Mercers'  Arms.

To  a  late  valued  and  highly-esteemed  friend,  Llewellyn  Jewitt,  F.S.  A., 
of  Derby,  the  Editor  is  indebted  for  much  kindly  aid  in  arranging 
the  tokens  of  this  county. 

Mr.  Jewitt  promised  to  take  entirely  in  hand  the  arrangement  of 
this  county,  and  to  supply  notes  as  to  the  issuers,  but  his  untimely 
decease  prevented  this  kindly  work  being  carried  out 

There  is  no  very  special  interest  attaching  to  the  tokens  of  this 
county.  They  are  few  in  number,  and  generally  of  ordinary  type. 
The  token  of  Gnoshall  is  an  exception  to  this  rule,  and  displays  some 
character  in  its  inscription  on  the  obverse,  and  prayer  for  peace, 
specially  appropriate  in  those  troublous  times,  on  the  reverse.  It  is 
the  only  octagonal  token  of  the  series,  with  the  exception  of  the  one 
issued  at  Yoxall  by  Zechariah  Lightwood. 

The  only  corporation  piece  in  the  county  is  that  issued  by  the  city 
of  Lichfield. 

A  partnership  token  is  issued  of  Thomas  and  Joseph  Smiths,  at 
Sedgeley. 

Several  tokens  attributed  to  Smethwick  by  Boyne  have  been  re- 
moved to  Cornwall,  as  they  were  issued  at  Falmouth,  and  bear  the 
ancient  name  of  that  town,  Smith  wick.  Three  of  the  tokens  of  Staf- 
ford bear  the  well-known  device  of  the  Stafford  Knot,  and  one  issuer, 
Davenport  by  name,  was  entitled  to  call  himself  armiger,  and  uses 
his  family  coat  on  his  token.  One  token  of  Walsall  is  struck  in 
lead. 

One  trader,  Thomas  Richardson,  had  evidently  business  in  two 
villages,  and  puts  the  names  of  Bettley  and  Batterley  both  upon  his 
token.  The  arms  of  trading  companies  represented  are  those  of 
Mercers,  Grocers,  Ironmongers,  Stationers,  Apothecaries,  Tallow- 
chandlers,  and  Merchant  Tailors. 

The  king's  head  and  the  royal  arms  also  appear  on  the  token. 

The  blocks  are  from  drawings  specially  made  by  the  late  Llewellyn 
Jewitt,  and  are  most  kindly  lent  by  Messrs.  Swan  Sonnenschein  and 
Co.,  of  Paternoster  Square,  London,  from  their  work  entitled  "  English 
Coins  and  Tokens."

Suffolk 

Ths  tokens  of  Suffolk  have  already  been  so  exhaustively  described 
by  Mr.  Charles  Golding  in  his  privately  printed  work,  "  The  Coinage 
of  Suffolk,"  1868,  that  but  little  remained  for  the  Editor  to  do  as  to 
this  county.  Mr.  Golding  very  generously  placed  the  whole  of  his 
information  at  the  disposal  of  the  Editor  for  this  work,  and  the 
interesting  notes  which  had  been  carefully  gathered  by  him  as  to 
the  tokeners  of  the  county,  are  transferred  to  this  work  in  ipsissima 
verba.  Mr.  Golding  has  also  most  kindly  lent  his  original  wood- 
cats,  which  were  prepared  for  the  work  already  referred  to,  and  the 
loan  of  which  for  this  book  is  most  gratefully  acknowledged.  Mr. 
Edward  Skinner,  of  Norwich,  the  sub-editor  for  Norfolk,  devoted 
much  time  and  attention  also  to  the  county  of  Suffolk,  and  many  of 
the  corrections  and  additions  that  have  been  made  since  the  issue  of 
Mr.  Gelding's  book  are  due  to  the  thoughtfulness  of  that  gentleman. 
His  aid  also  is  very  warmly  acknowledged. 

From  "  The  Coinage  of  Suffolk  "  is  extracted  the  information  con- 
tained in  the  following  preface  to  the  series,  and  we  cannot  too  fully 
express  our  indebtedness  to  so  valued  a  sub-editor  as  Mr.  Golding  has 
m  effect  been  for  this  county.  With  reference  to  the  interesting  devices 
which  form  a  feature  of  Suffolk  tokens,  we  notice  that  the  principal 
edifices  in  the  towns  were  frequently  adopted  as  a  device  by  the 
issuers,  and  in  this  county  we  notice  the  castles  of  Bungay  and 
Framlingham,  the  market-cross  at  St  Edmund's  Bury,  and  the  sheep- 
pen  at  Beccles. 

The  armorial  bearings  of  various  families,  with  or  without  their 
crests,  are  also  chosen  as  devices.  In  the  following  list  are  those 
of  Crane,  of  Beccles ;  Baythorne,  of  Bury ;  Elliston,  of  Clare ;  Ray, 
of  Laxheld ;  Skinner,  of  Sudbury ;  Knights,  of  Saxmundham ;  and 
Knew. 

Merchants'  marks,  curious  trade  devices,  and  other  designs  are

also  met  with,  as  examples  of  which  see  Richard  Prime,  of  Bury ; 
Stephen  Green,  of  Ipswich  ;  Samuel  Fitch,  of  Rickinghall. 

Inns  and  taverns  were  well  represented  by  their  various  signs.  In 
the  following  list  are  to  be  found  those  of  the  Ship,  Lion,  Sun,  Angel, 
Rose,  Crown,  Waggon,  Hare,  Griffin,  Pickerel,  Woolpack,  Star,  Half- 
moon,  Eagle,  Falcon,  King's  Head,  Greyhound,  Royal  Oak,  Seven 
Stars,  Hart,  Cock,  Anchor,  Three  Tuns,  Swan,  St  George  and  the 
Dragon,  and  others,  many  of  which  are  still  the  principal  places  of 
resort  at  the  present  day,  and  many  have  remained  nearly  unaltered 
in  the  towns  for  a  period  of  more  than  two  centuries. 

The  trades  of  Suffolk,  consisting  then  of  weaving  and  the  manu- 
facture of  woollen  cloth  (introduced  by  the  Flemings,  who  settled  in 
this  county  in  large  numbers),  serge,  hempen  cloth,  and  baize,  gave 
employment  to  many  of  the  population.  These  trades  are  shown  by 
the  tokens,  as,  in  addition  to  a  roll  of  cloth,  a  shuttle,  and  a  bale  of 
wool,  we  have  the  Arms  of  the  Clothworkers,  the  Drapers,  the  Haber- 
dashers, and  the  Merchant  Tailors'  Companies.  Others  in  trade  give 
examples  of  their  chief  implements  or  occupation ;  thus,  on  a  butcher's 
token,  there  is  an  axe ;  on  a  tallow-chandler's,  a  man  dipping  candles ; 
on  a  gardener's,  a  bunch  of  grapes ;  on  a  cordwainer's,  a  shoe ;  on  a 
vintner's,  a  barrel,  on  which  is  seated  a  boy ;  on  a  baker's,  his  peel; 
on  a  bootmaker's,  a  leg  with  high  boots ;  on  a  maltster's,  a  bushel 
measure ;  on  another  baker's,  three  rolls  of  bread ;  and  so  on.  The 
armorial  insignia  of  the  various  Companies  of  the  Brewers,  Brick- 
layers, Fishmongers,  Bakers,  Apothecaries,  Skinners,  Chandlers, 
Mercers,  Ironmongers,  Grocers,  and  others,  also  frequently  appear. 
On  a  few  there  are  punning  devices  on  the  issuers'  names  ;  as  Crosse, 
of  Clare,  gives  a  cross  patee ;  Shipp,  of  Needham,  a  ship ;  Rozer, 
of  the  same  place,  a  rose ;  whilst  some  show  the  justice  of  their 
dealings  by  a  pair  of  scales  equally  balanced ;  and  one  issuer, 
to  impress  the  fact  more  fully,  declares  himself  to  be  "honest" 
George  Turner.     One  piece  bears  the  singular  inscription,  "we  $ 

SISTERS." 

The  most  numerous  are  the  farthing  and  halfpenny  tokens ;  the 
pennies  are  few,  only  three  being  at  present  known.  The  tokens  of 
Saxmundham,  Walpole,  Woodbridge  and  Yoxford  appear  to  be  double 
farthing  tokens,  and  as  such  are  unusual  forms  of  the  halfpenny 
token.  The  tokens  of  Suffolk  are  generally  round ;  but  there  are  als« 
square,  heart-shaped,  and  octagonal  ones  among  them.

county  of  Suffolk  here  described  are  three  hundred  and  seventy-five 
in  number,  which  were  issued  in  about  seventy  different  towns  and 
villages.  The  earliest  date  in  the  series  is  1648,  and  the  latest  1671. 
The  series  as  a  whole  is  a  very  large  and  important  one,  and  possesses 
very  many  points  of  special  interest 
Many  of  the  notes  will  be  found  to  be  of  unusual  importance.

1066    TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 


ACTON. 

An  engraving  of  a  token  of  James  Wilson  in  Acton  is  given  in  the 
"  Anastatic  Prints  of  Suffolk  Tokens,"  by  the  late  Mr.  Fitch,  of  Ipswich  ;  bat 
tokens  of  Acton  are  numerous,  and  the  name  of  Acton  is  likewise  found  in  several 
oiher  counties.  Wilson's  token  cannot,  therefore,  be  positively  assigned  to  Acton, 
in  Suffolk.

There  is  a  town  named  Aldborough  in  Yorkshire  ;  yet,  the  towns  both  in  Suffolk 
and  Yorkshire  being  ot  nearly  equal  size  and  population  at  this  period,  Suffolk  has 
as  much  claim  to  these  tokens  as  Yorkshire.  Though  the  name  of  the  town  is 
found  written  in  many  different  ways,  that  of  "  Aldeburgh,"  on  No.  2,  being 
peculiar  to  Suffolk,  leaves  little  doubt  that  it  is  correctly  placed  here.

After  the  deprivation  of  William  Fleming,  Rector  of  Beccles  in  1584,  by  Arch- 
bishop Whitgift,  an  independent  society  was  established  to  free  itself  from  the 
doctrines  of  Popery  or  the  observances  of  James  I.  It  gradually  increased.  In 
July,  1652,  it  appears  that,  with  others,  ••  William  Cutlove  joyned  in  covenant 
voder  y*  visible  Regiment  of  Christ,"  and  commenced  the  foundation  of  a  separate 
congregation.  In  December,  1656,  William  Cutlove  was  chosen  a  deacon  of  it, 
and  in  Jane,  1657,  ooe  of  eight  "  to  speake  unto  the  questions  which  shall  be  here- 
after  p'pounded,  but  which  questions,  or  the  manner  they  were  treated  of,  has  not

long  connected  with  the  borough  of  Great  Yarmouth.  William  Grice  was  M.P. 
for  that  borough  in  1570  to  1585.  Gilbert  Grice  was  Bailiff  in  1542  and  1551  ; 
having  made  a  reasonable  excuse  for  not  wearing  his  "  gown  of  skarlett  furryd  with 
foyner  typpett,  and  dublett  of  velvet,  after  the  auncyent  honorable  customs  of  the 
towne  aforesaid,  on  Sundays  and  holydays,  and  at  assemblys,"  he  was  pardoned  on 
condition  that  he  procured  a  new  one  before  the  following  Michaelmas.  The 
aims  of  Le  Grys  were  quarterly  azure  and  gules  on  a  bend  argent,  three  boars 
passant  sable. 

A  brass  memorial  in  Wiston  Church,  in  Suffolk,  to  the  minister,  John  le  Oris,

Samuel  Alston  was  engaged  in  the  militia  in  1667  with  the  Dutch  at  Felixstowe. 
Thomas  Alston,  in  1690,  devised  to  poor  people  of  Assington,  twenty-six  shillings

The  Warwells  were  Royalists,  and  the  device  on  the  token  was  probably  intended 
to  make  known  their  adherence  to  that  party. 

A  scarce  Suffolk  volume,  printed  in  1660,  entitled  •'  Votiva  Tabula ;  or,  Two 
Sermons  preached  at  Boxford  on  the  Two  Days  of  Public  Thanksgiving  appointed 
for  the  Happy  Restoration  of  King  Charles  II.,  on  May  24  and  June  28,  1660, "  is 
by  James  Warwell,  Rector  of  Boxford,  in  Suffolk,  in  the  preface  to  which  he  states 
w  ms  heart  hath  never  in  the  worst  times  declined  from  his  loyalty,  and  alwaies 
prayed  for  your  Majesties  happy  restauration  in  secret."  It  is  in  small  quarto,  and 
of  eigh»y -eight  pages. 

See  also  under  Groton,  an  adjoining  parish  to  Boxford,  for  another  token  of 
James  Warwell,  who  was  a  draper  at  both  places,  and  probably  a  son  of  the 
Royalist  minister.

[RiHqmry^  vol.  iv.,  p.  103),  and  by  him  assigned  to  Brampton,  near  Chester- 
field ;  but  as  a  Thomas  Smith,  of  Brampton,  was  married  to  Margaret,  daughter 
of  John  Leman,  of  Brampton,  Suffolk  (who  died  and  was  buried  there  in  1070), 
the  second  token  must  be  considered  as  one  of  the  Suffolk  series.

Braster  at  Brandon,  hym  and  his  ij  men  '*  had,  "  for  working  of  ij  doores  of  free- 
stone, xlvij*jd." 

Some  of  the  Brewster  family  long  resided  at  the  Hall,  at  Wrentham.  Robert 
Brewster  was  a  warm  advocate  of  Oliver  Cromwell ;  he  sat  in  the  Long  Parliament 
for  the  borough  of  Dunwich,  and  voted  for  conferring  the  title  of  King  upon  the 
Protector.  Francis  Brewster  also  represented  the  county  in  1653,  and  the 
family  resided  at  this  seat  until  1797.    The  Brewsters  still  hold  estates  here.

This  token  was  doubtless  issued  by  authority  of  the  feoffees  and  Town  Reeve  for 
circulation.     It  has  always  been  so  received  and  acknowledged  for  the  last  two

hundred  years.  The  town  books,  however,  which  would  probably  have  given  some 
account  of  its  issue,  are  lost ;  they  were  most  likely  destroyed  iu  the  great  fire  of 
1688,  which  consumed  the  principal  part  of  the  town. 

The  castle  and  fortress,  built  and  held  by  successive  members  of  the  Bigods 
gave  rise  to  the  bold  defiance  given  by  Hugh  Bigod  in  Stephen's  reign : 

"  Were  I  in  my  castle  at  Bongay,

I  would  ne  care  for  the  King  of  Cockney."

Henry  Webster,  the  issuer  of  this  token,  was  a  silk-mercer  and  draper  ;  and  in 
the  Church  of  St.  Mary,  in  Bungay,  is  an  altar-tomb  to  his  memory,  stating  he  died 
in  17 15,  at  the  good  old  age  of  eighty-three,  and  that  "he  was  much  lamented  by 
the  poor."  By  his  will,  dated  1 7 12,  he  gave  an  acre  of  land  in  Parnow  Meadow, 
in  Ditchingham,  on  the  Norfolk  side  of  the  river,  and  twenty  pounds,  for  teaching 
the  poor  children  of  Bungay  to  read  and  write. 

The  families  of  Webster  appear  to  have  resided  here  and  in  the  immediate 
neighbourhood  since  1 631,  down  to  1830,  and  are  described  in  the  registers  as 
"gentlemen."  Various  monuments  to  their  memory  still  exist  in  Bungir 
Church. 

The  tokens  of  Bungay,  Nos  31, 33,  34,  and  35,  are  engraved  in  the  Gt*tUma*t

William  Cadge  was  a  great  benefactor  to  the  town.  In  his  will,  dated  January, 
1668,  he  described  himself  as  occupying  the  Half- Moon  Inn,  the  chief  inn  in  the 
town.  He  bequeathed  an  annual  payment  of  £2$  from  a  farm  called  Bockards,  in 
the  parish  of  Barnardiston  (otherwise  Banson),  in  Suffolk,  to  the  Vicar,  church- 
wardens, and  chief  inhabitants  of  Clare,  for  the  following  uses :  j£io  per  annum 
to  a  schoolmaster  for  teaching  ten  poor  boys  of  Clare ;  £1$  per  annum  for  the 
clothing  of  eight  poor  widows  with  a  blue  gown,  two  shifts,  and  one  pair  of 
shoes  each,  every  year,  and  to  receive  a  twopenny  loaf  of  bread  every  Sunday  in 
the  year.  This  annuity  in  a  few  years  was  much  in  arrear,  in  consequence  of 
which  the  churchwardens,  about  the  year  1736,  seised  the  lands  as  security  untQ 
the  arrears  were  paid  ;  this  was  never  done,  and  the  parish  has  now  full  possession 
of  the  estate.  The  income  arising  from  these  lands  having  increased  to  about 
^84  a  year,  a  new  scheme  for  its  administration  was  obtained  from  the  Court  of 
Chancer v  in  1856,  and  the  trustees  now  expend  the  same  on  the  Town  School  and 
Widows  Charity. 

William  Cadge  died  in  April,  1668,  aged  sixty-three.  His  inn,  the  Half-Moon, 
yet  remains  in  the  High  Street. 

He  also  issued  a  variety  of  his  token  from  a  different  die,  but  of  the  same  date.

It  appears  from  the  registers  of  Dennington  that  Edward  Stubbs  was  married 
to  Rose  Cutis  in  1665  (May  15) ;  that  she  died  in  1666  (October  12) ;  and  that

various  dates  between  1672  and  1689  are  also  recorded.     Edward  Stubbs  was

The  custom  of  marrying;  in  the  time  of  the  Commonwealth  was,  first  to  publish 
the  banns  in  the  market-place,  then  to  solemnize  the  marriage  before  the  Mayor 
or  bailiffs  of  corporations  or  justices  of  the'  peace.  During  this  period  Whiteman 
appears  to  have  been  a  registrar  of  marriages,  for  in  the  register  of  Framlingham 
we  find  that  "Alin  Davison,"  one  of  the  '•bailies  of  Dunwich"  and  "  witnes 
John  Whiteman,  regester  there,"  performed  the  office  upon  an  inhabitant  of 
Framlingham  and  one  of  Farnham,  who  were  married  at  Dunwich  in  1656.

William  Browne,  one  of  the  descendants  of  the  Brownes  of  Framlingham, 
removed  to  Yarmouth,  became  a  wealthy  merchant  and  brewer,  and  was  Mayor 
there  in  1744  and  in  1748.  At  a  general  election  for  members  of  Parliament  in 
1 754  he  was  an  unsuccessful  candidate  (he  polled,  however,  342  votes),  and  after- 
wards, by  changing  his  politics,  he  received  from  Government  the  lucrative  appoint- 
ment of  Receiver-General  of  the  county  of  Norfolk.  He  died  in  1769,  aged 
eighty-one.

The  Capons  were  for  a  long  time  inhabitants  of  Framlingham.  In  1537  Joha 
Capon  was  holder  of  "  the  Guild  of  the  Blessed  Mary  ;"  in  1629  "Tones  Capon" 
occurs  in  a  list  of  jurors  at  a  Court  Baron  ;  and  in  an  ordinance  of  Cromwell  for 
distribution  of  charitable  bequests,  John  Capon  and  Thomas  Capon  were  appointed, 
March  20,  1653,  with  others,  trustees.  The  family  continued  there,  as  appears  by 
monuments,  till  1814,  or  subsequently.

The  Dawsons  appear  to  have  been  of  some  note  in  the  town.  John  Dawsofl 
was  an  apothecary,  as  is  shown  by  his  tombstone  in  the  chancel  of  FramUnghan 
Church. 

128.  O.    FRANCIS  .  IRELAND  =  A  Castle. 

R.    IN  .  FRAMLINGHAM  =  F  .  I.  \ 

The  Ireland  family  also  resided  here  for  a  long  period.  In  the  churchwardens 
accounts  of  1557,  "John  Irelonde"is  mentioned  as  one  of  the  churchwarden 
selling  the  plate  for  repairs  of  the  church.  Francis  Ireland  was  one  of  the  jaror 
in  the  Court  Baron,  1029,  and  was  also,  by  an  ordinance  of  Lord  Protector  Croon 
well  and  his  council,  dated  March  20,  1653,  "for  settling  the  estates  left  by  Si 
Robert  Hitcham,  knight,  of  Framlingham  and  Saxted,  to  charitable  uses,  in  1636, 
appointed  to  be  one  of  the  principal  trustees. 

The  device  of  a  castle,  which  appears  on  so  many  of  the  Framlingham  tokctu 
refers  to  the  stronghold  of  the  Bigods,  Earls  of  Norfolk,  the  ruins  of  which  tors 
an  important  object  of  beauty  in  the  scenery  and  also  in  the  history  of  the  town.

of  Charles  II.  in  1665.  He  was  Port  man  in  1676  and  1690,  and  in  the  latter  year 
he  presented  various  books  to  the  public  library.  In  the  charter  of  Charles  II.  of 
July,  1685,  he  is  called  gentleman,  and  appointed  Bailiff,  and  to  which  office  he 
was  again  chosen  in  1688.  The  inscription  on  his  gravestone  in  St.  Lawrence's 
Church  states  that  he  died  July  26,  1695,  aged  sixty-eight. 

John  Barrough,  of  St.  Stephen's  parish,  also  gave  £ioo  to  be  laid  out  in  an  estate, 
bat  the  parish  neglected  to  claim  it  within  the  time  appointed  (one  year  after  his 
death),  and  it  was  lost.

Thomas  Burrough  was  Bailiff  in  1663  and  1664.  He  gave,  in  1664,  £100  in 
trust  to  the  Bailiffs,  to  be  lent  in  sums  of  £\o  each  to  ten  grocers,  of  full  age  and 
apprenticeship,  freemen  of  Ipswich,  if  they  were  orderly,  sober,  and  good  husbands, 
for  ten  years,  without  interest,  if  so  many  of  the  grocers  should  require  it ;  if  not,  to 
other  tradesmen.  In  the  charter  of  Charles  II.  in  1665  he  is  described  as  Portman 
and  gentleman. 

The  following  note  appears  in  the  town  books :

probably  tbe  token-issuer,  is  described  as  a  gentleman,  in  1665,  and  John  Sparrow 
wai  Bailiff  in  1 722.  Many  monuments  to  various  members  of  the  family  still  exist 
in  tbe  Church  of  St.  Lawrence,  in  which  parish  they  resided.  One  of  the  family 
hult  a  great  house  in  Thurlston,  called  the  Sparrow's  Nest,  where  the  name  is 
still  to  be  found.

Robert  Sparrowe  was  of  the  same  family  as  the  last  mentioned.  Robert  Sparrowe, 
Portman,  who  died  in  1594,  has  a  memorial  in  the  church  of  St.  Mary  Tower. 
Robert  Sparrow,  *'  a  man  of  great  note,"  who  lived  in  Ipswich  in  the  time  of 
Charles  II.,  lent,  in  conjunction  with  his  son-in-law,  Robert  Clarke,  to  the  Cor- 
poration, whose  finances  were  then  very  low,  tbe  sum  of  ^300.  Robert  Sparrow 
wis  Bailiff  in  1659,  1666,  and  1671,  and  is  described  as  gentleman  and  Bailiff  in 
tbe  charter  of  Charles  II.,  1665  ;  he  gave  £$  to  the  public  library  in  Ipswich  in 
1640.  Robert  Sparrow  held  an  estate  in  Offton  in  the  time  of  Charles  II.,  and 
some  of  the  family  are  still  there. 

In  the  town  books  we  read  : 

"  Apnl  28,  165J.  At  this  Court  Mr.  Rob*.  Sparrowe  who  was  flbrmerlie  chosen 
into  the  office  of  one  of  the  Comon  Councell  of  this  Towne  by  Mr.  Henry

*me  being  moved  to  the  Court,  it  was  ordered  that  he  should  not  be  admitted  to 
1  fyne." 

The  birds  on  the  token  are  probably  intended  for  sparrows,  being  a  play  on  the 
Bme.  The  arms  of  the  Sparrows  of  Ipswich  are :  Argent,  three  roses  purple,

LANDGUARD  FORT. 

Landguard  Fort  is  in  the  parish  of  Walton,  from  which  it  is  distant  about 
three  miles.  The  fort  was  existing  at  the  end  of  James  I.'s  reign,  although  no 
date  can  be  assigned  positively  to  the  erection  of  it.  The  Datch,  in  1667,  landed 
3,000  men  at  Felixstowe  Cliff,  from  whence  they  marched  2,000  men  unsuccess- 
rally  against  the  fort  Another  fort  was  built  here  in  17 18,  after  an  Act  of 
Parliament  had  ordered  the  destruction  of  the  previous  ruinous  one.  A  MS.  of 
garrison  orders  and  parole  words  in  use  at  the  fort,  together  with  the  state  of 
the  garrison  and  fort,  daily,  from  1 761  to  1766,  is  in  existence.

The  fish  houses  occupied  by  Mr.  Joseph  Smithson  were  entirely  consumed  by  a 
fire  in  November,  17 17. 

Joseph  Smithson  subscribed,  in  1698,  to  the  rebuilding  of  Lowestoft  Chapel, 
which  was  a  place  for  worship,  much  nearer  the  town  than  the  parish  church, 
and  had  been  previously  used  before  the  Reformation,  and  licensed  for  church 
sernce  by  the  Bishop  of  Norwich,  in  1 570. 

Sir  Edward  Barker,  of  Lowestoft,  with  others,  in  1643,  were  taken  prisoners  by 
Cromwell,  and  carried  to  Somerleyton. 

The  Barker  family  arms  were  barry  of  ten,  or  and  sable,  over  all  a  bend,  gules. 

In  1670  Robert  Barker  was  owner  of  boats  employed  in  the  herring  fishery 
at  Lowestoft,  and  the  family  of  Barker  continued  so  for  many  years  after. 

The  name  of  Robert  Barker  occurs  in  the  list  of  contributors,  in  1750,  towards 
the  rebuilding  of  Kirkley  Church,  about  a  mile  and  a  half  from  Lowestoft,  for 
the  sum  of  half  a  crown.

Francis  Bugg  was  born  at  Mildenhall,  of  reputable  parents,  in  164a  In  his 
book,  "  The  Pilgrim's  Progress  from  Quakerism  to  Christianity,"  he  states  that 
he  was  brought  up  in  the  profession  of  the  Church  of  England,  and  that  at  the 
age  of  about  seventeen,  being  then  living  at  Lakenheath,  an  adjoining  village, 
tad  baring  "  itching  ears  "  to  hear  the  Quakers  who  came  there  from  Norwich, 
Thetford,  and  other  places,  in  a  few  years  he  "  became  a  very  zealous  member," 
ted  "  to  silent  meetings  went."  After  living  in  their  society  many  years  and 
becoming  dissatisfied  with  their  false  doctrines  and  writings,  he  wrote  many 
letters,  remonstrances,  and  works,  in  orders  to  expose  their  views.  At  a  general 
Quakers'  meeting,  held  at  Haddenham,  in  1682,  he  was  adjudged  "  to  have  greatly 
abused  and  misrepresented  faithful  ministers  of  the  Gospel  and  antient  Friends, ' 
and  thereupon  was  expelled.  The  Bishop  of  Norwich,  in  1697,  gave  a  certificate 
that  "  thro  the  hardness  of  the  times,  several  losses,  and  the  publishing  of  useful 
books  to  convert  the  Quakers,  he  was  reduced  to  great  difficulties,  and  deserved 
the  bounty  of  well-disposed  persons  as  a  sober,  honest  and  industrious  man  ;" 
tfes  gained  him  many  friends  at  the  colleges  of  Cambridge  and  elsewhere.  In 
1700  the  second  edition  of  the  "  Progress  was  published,  to  which  his  portrait, 
eagraved  by  Van  Hove,  set.  60,  is  prefixed,  a  previous  one  appearing  in  the  quarto 
edition  of  1698.  In  his  work,  "  Quakers  Set  in  their  True  Light,  quarto,  1698 
(pp.  48),  is  a  list  of  sixteen  works  written  by  him  to  confirm  nis  views.  After- 
wards eight  or  more  others  appeared ;  but  his  last,  entitled  "  Finishing  Stroke  ; 
«,  Gleanings  from  Quakers'  Books,"  was  published  in  17 12.  His  family  continued 
Quakers,  and  his  son,  Francis  Bugg,  junior,  was  a  member  of  their  meetings  at 
Mildenhall  in  1687.

James  Webb  appears  by  the  Records  of  Conviction  to  have  allowed  a  meeting 
of  Quakers  at  his  house  on  Sunday,  March  28,  1676,  for  which  he  was  fined, 
and  the  records  say,  "  Because  J.  Webb  is  so  poor  that  the  fine  of  £20  cannot  be

From  an  early  work,  entitled  "  Theater  of  Honour  and  Knight-hood,"  folio, 
1623,  we  learn  that  '*  merchants  were  not  permitted  to  have  shields,  bat  might 
beare  the  first  letters  of  their  names  and  surnames  enterlaced  with  a  crosse ;  to 
have  notes  or  markes  of  the  profession  or  trades  which  they  used,  as — a  shear- 
man, his  cloth  sheares  ;  a  tailor,  his  sheares ;  a  mason,  his  compass,  or  square,  or 
his  trowell ;  a  cutler,  a  knife,  and  so  on." 

These  merchants1  marks  often  consist  of  a  cross  with  a  down  stroke  to  form  a 
smaller  cross  of  the  limb  on  the  dexter  side,  and  another  line  from  the  top  to  the 
limb  on  the  sinister  side,  which  gives  the  appearance  of  the  Arabic  numeral  four 
turned  backwards  ;  they  generally  have  below  this  the  Christian  and  surname  is

issue  of  farthings  in  Swedish  copper ;  and  in  February,  1670- 1,  Lord  Lucas,  in 
Parliament,  alluded  to  the  scarcity  of  small  money,  and  an  intended  issue  of  half-

Surrey 

In  Surrey  tokens  were  issued  at  fifty-five  different  places,  and  it  is 
interesting  to  note  the  peculiarities  in  the  method  of  describing 
and  spelling  the  name  of  the  place  of  issue. 

Abinger,  for  instance,  on  its  solitary  token,  appears  in  the  older 
name  of  Abenworth. 

Battersea  is  spelt  Battersey. 

Bletchingley  appears  as  Bleachingley  and  Bleachingly. 

Dorking  as  Darking,  Darkin,  and  Dorkinge. 

Egham  as  Eadgham,  Egam,  Eggam,  Edgham,  and  Eggham,  five 
methods  of  spelling. 

Epsom  reads  Ebisham  and  Apsum. 

Ewell  is  spelt  Yewell  and  Yewill. 

Famhara,  phonetically  as  Fanum  and  Farnum. 

Godalming  as  Godlyman,  Godalman,  Godalmin,  Godallmig, 
Godallminge,  Godalminge,  and  Godallmin,  seven  methods  of  spelling. 

Guildford  varies  between  six  ways,  reading  Gillford,  Gilford, 
Guilforde,  Gilldford,  Gildford,  and  Guilford. 

Haslemere  reads  Hasselmore  and  Haselmore. 

Mortlake  as  Mortlacke  and  Moreclack. 

Rotherhithe  as  Rotherhith,  Redcriff,  Redriff,  and  Rotherhith — 
these  spellings  being  in  all  cases  extra  to  the  few  instances  in  which 
the  name  of  the  place  is  put  in  the  modern  style. 

A  few  of  the  issuers  of  the  tokens  were  women,  probably  single 
women. 

Florance  Webb  issued  the  Abinger  token. 

Elizabeth  Bothel  issued  a  token  at  Dorking. 

Eleanor  Right  at  Egham  and  Elizabeth  Amus  at  Epsom,  Mary 
Osburne  at  Godstone,  Elizabeth  Smith  at  Putney,  Margaret  Catt  at 
Reigate ;  and  at  Rotherhithe,  Mary  Berry,  Sussannah  Dannill,  Sara 
Heywood,  Rebekah  Smallman,  Elizabeth  Swan,  and  Mary  Warren; 
and  at  Wandsworth  a  token  was  issued  by  Elizabeth  Crow. 

The  information  as  to  the  trades  carried  on  by  the  issuers  is  very 
varied,  and  in  many  cases  we  have  no  more  to  guide  us  than  the 
trade  signs  on  the  tokens.  These  must  not  be  taken  to  invariably 
mean  inn-holdings,  although,  of  course,  many  of  them  do  refer  to 
such  a  trade,  but  the  majority  of  important  trades  at  that  time 
traded  under  a  sign,  and  in  many  instances  the  sign  was  formed  from 
the  arms  of  the  trading  Guild. 

There  is  hardly  a  trading  Guild  bearing  arms  that  is  not  repre- 
sented on  tokens,  although  naturally  some  occur  very  much  more 
frequently  than  others.

mo    TRADERS*  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

It  is  evident  that  use  of  these  coats-of  arms  as  signs  of  trade  was 
very  frequent ;  in  many  towns  every  token  bears  the  arms  of  some 
trade,  and  probably  used  the  coat  armour  as  its  sign.  In  some 
towns,  research  in  Corporation  and  Guild  records  has  revealed  the 
fact  of  a  close  relationship,  alliance,  and,  to  some  extent,  obedience, 
existing  between  those  of  a  trade  in  a  town  forming  that  Guild,  and 
what  was  evidently  looked  upon,  to  some  extent,  as  headquarters  in 
London.  It  is  impossible  to  say  to  what  extent  this  intimate  connec- 
tion existed ;  it  is  referred  to  but  seldom  in  Guild  records,  and  then 
only  briefly,  as  though  well  known ;  but  it  is  clear  that  the  trades 
largely  and  extensively  used  the  armorial  bearings  of  the  company, 
formed  themselves  into  local  Guilds  for  the  management  and  restric- 
tion of  their  own  trade,  and  to  a  certain  extent  owned  and  recognised 
a  sort  of  allegiance  due  to  the  London  company.  The  very  woid 
Guildford  is  derived  from  the  presence  of  a  trading  Guild  in  the 
town,  and  for  generations  the  governing  body  of  the  town  was  known 
as  Gilda  Mcrcatoria. 

In  Barnes  we  have  the  sign  of  the  Horse,  and  we  find  from  an 
Exchequer  bill  that  the  issuer,  Timothy  Harley,  was  a  brewer. 
Another  issuer,  Goodwin,  describes  himself  as  a  vintner,  and  traded 
at  the  sign  of  the  Bear. 

Thomas  Embery  bore  the  Blacksmiths'  Arms,  and  these  were  also 
borne  by  an  issuer  in  Farnham. 

The  Cordwainers'  Arms  appear  in  Battersea  and  Farnham. 

The  Grocers'  at  Chertsey,  Lingfield,  Rotherhithe,  Sutton  and 
Walton. 

The  Mercers',  at  Cranleigh. 

The  Fishmongers',  at  Farnham. 

The  Butchers',  at  Kingston  and  Walton. 

The  Barber-Surgeons',  at  Kingston. 

The  Tallowchandlers',  at  Kingstone,  Reigate. 

The  Bakers',  at  Lambeth,  Rotherhithe,  Walton,  and  Wandsworth. 

The  Merchant-Tailors',  at  Mortlake. 

The  Salters',  at  Putney. 

The  Haberdashers'  and  Merchant-Adventurers',  at  Ripley. 

The  Drapers',  at  Rotherhithe. 

At  Rotherhithe  we  are  not  surprised  to  find  the  arms  of  the  Ship- 
wrights and  Watermen,  nor  is  it  strange  to  find  the  Watermen's  Anns 
also  at  Putney,  Richmond,  and  Lambeth  ;  but  it  is  curious  that  the 
solitary  Clapham  token  should  bear  this  achievement  also. 

A  man  making  candles,  or  a  stick  of  candles,  are  favourite  devices 
in  Surrey,  and  are  found  on  tokens  of  Croydon,  Dorking,  Farnham, 
Godalming,  Kingston,  and  Wandsworth. 

Sugar-loaves,  which  probably  refer  to  a  grocery  trade,  appear  at 
Farnham,  Reigate,  and  Rotherhithe;  while  the  staple  industry  of 
Guildford  is  clearly  denoted  by  the  fact  that  of  28  tokens  22  bear 
the  woolsack. 

A  malt-shovel  is  a  favourite  device  on  Godalming  tokens ;  a  fleur- 
de-lys  on  Farnham  ones. 

A  simple  sort  of  punning  appears  in  the  presence  of  a  church  on

the  Chertsey  town  token,  and  the  same  humour  is  noticeable  upon 
other  of  the  Surrey  tokens.  Thus,  for  instance,  a  thorn  bush^  or 
Glastonbury  Holy  Thorn,  appears  on  the  token  of  Edward  Bush,  of 
Croydon. 

A  King's  head  is  borne  by  Robert  King,  of  Richmond,  etc. ;  a 
swan,  by  Elizabeth  Swan,  of  Rotherhithe. 

In  most  cases  the  sign  of  the  shop  or  business  appears  on  the 
tokens,  so  that  the  token  is  what  is  termed  a  speaking  type.  Robert 
Lloyd,  of  Croydon,  at  the  Greyhound,  bears  a  greyhound ;  and  two 
Lambeth  issuers  bear  the  Wild  Boar  and  the  Bear  and  Ragged  Staff, 
and  describe  themselves  as  of  the  Blue  Boar,  and  of  the  Bare  and 
Raged  Stafe. 

Another  trades  at  Yo  Punchinelly,  and  bears  Punch  in  a  chair,  and 
a  Putney  issuer  is  at  the  Red  Lion,  and  puts  a  lion  passant  gardant 
on  his  token  of  unusual  and  peculiar  character.  There  are  a  few 
special  tokens  among  the  Surrey  series.  John  Sole,  of  Battersea, 
bears  a  bird  with  a  garter,  and  an  Earl's  coronet  above  it,  as  though 
he  claimed  connection  with  a  noble  family.  Thomas  Lusher,  of 
Chiddingfofcd,  has  the  curious  device  of  "two  pipes  and  a  roll  of 
tobacco ;"  and  John  Luffrum,  of  Egham,  has  a  coach  and  pair  of 
horses.  Several  Farnham  issuers  have  a  castle,  as  referring  to 
Farnham  Castle,  upon  their  tokens,  and  most  of  the  Guildford 
tokeners  have  a  castle  upon  their  tokens  also,  as  a  reference  both  to 
the  old  keep  and  the  town  arms. 

The  Kingston  issuers,  in  many  cases,  also  bear  portions  of  the 
Kingston  arms  upon  their  tokens,  "  The  Three  Salmons  hauriant." 

Other  curious  devices  are  the  one  on  the  tokens  of  Edmonds,  of 
tambeth,  which  represents  two  porters  holding  a  kind  of  hand- 
barrow,  and  a  third  loading  it  with  a  sack ;  and  the  one  of  Joseph 
Hall,  of  Newington,  who  states  that  he  is  "at  old  smuggs,"  at 
Newington  Butts,  and  gives  a  smith  working  at  an  anvil  on  his  token. 

What  is  known  as  the  Guildford  Postman's  tokens  has  a  postman 
upon  it  with  a  very  long  staff,  and  two  varieties  of  the  token  differ  in 
the  head-gear  worn  by  the  postman ;  one  has  a  quaint,  high  hat,  and 
the  other  a  very  low  hat  and  a  wig,  and  the  issuer  is  supposed  to  have 
lived  at  Compton,  as  his  initials  are  found  cut  into  Compton  Church 
in  a  similar  fashion  to  the  engraving  on  the  token.  Peter  White,  of 
Mortlake,  was  evidently  in  doubt  as  to  how  to  fill  up  the  space  on  his 
token,  and  so  put  the  royal  motto,  "  Honi  soit  qui  mal  y  pense,"  and 
curiously  accompanied  it  with  the  arms  of  the  City  of  London  ! 

It  has  been  interesting  to  find  out  odd  bits  of  information  respect- 
ing the  issuers  of  several  of  these  quaint  little  pieces,  and  although 
the  information  obtained  is  often  of  a  disjointed  character,  it  throws 
light  upon  the  possessions  and  position  of  the  traders.  The  Hearth- 
tax  Rolls  often  mention  the  assessment  of  the  issuers.  Some  were 
assessed  at  four,  others  at  eight  hearths ;  some  are  declared  as  free 
for  various  reasons,  either  for  poverty  or  by  widowhood. 

Richard  Greene,  of  Battersea,  was  a  Constable  of  the  parish. 
Steven  Theckstone,  of  the  same  place,  is  specially  dubbed  "  Mr.,"  and 
is  assessed  at  no  less  than  nineteen  hearths.

II 12    TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

Then,  again,  the  Subsidy  Rolls  often  mention  their  names,  and  the 
Exchequer  Bills  and  other  records.  An  issuer  at  Bramiey  was  a 
Popish  recusant,  and  her  estate  at  Southwark  declared  forfeited  to  the 
Crown.  An  issuer  at  Chertsey,  William  Burnett,  was  an  Anabaptist 
teacher,  and  received  in  1672  a  special  license  to  teach  in  the  house 
of  William  Longhurst,  in  Chertsey.  Thomas  Lusher,  of  Chidding- 
fold,  was  churchwarden,  overseer,  and  surveyor  for  the  poor  in  his 
native  parish,  and  evidently  a  man  of  importance  in  the  place ;  his 
family  were  old  residents  in  the  neighbourhood. 

The  rolls  of  the  Feet  of  Fines  again  often  tell  us  little  bits  of 
information  on  these  seventeenth-century  traders,  and  we  learn  of 
their  landed  property  and  of  its  transfer  by  purchase  or  deed. 

These  fines  were  practically  deeds  transferring  land,  not  payments, 
as  we  now  understand  the  word.  They  were  nominally  the  "  finis " 
or  end  of  a  fictitious  suit  Fines  which  did  not  relate  exclusively 
to  real  property  operated  nominally  as  an  amicable  arrangement 
putting  an  end  (finis)  to  a  hostile  suit  in  the  King's  Court,  and  early 
became  a  popular  method  of  conveyance,  not  only  from  their  efficacy, 
but  from  the  safety  insured  to  a  purchaser  by  the  fact  of  a  duplicate 
of  the  foot  of  the  fine  being  preserved  as  a  record  in  the  custody  of 
the  Court     They  had  somewhat  the  effect  also  of  a  registration  of  title. 

One  man.  at  Cranleigh  is  declared  as  living  in  the  street  and  with- 
out home,  while  the  other  issuer  in  this  little  village  was  a  man  of 
large  means,  and  by  his  will  bequeaths  considerable  estate  in  land. 
Several  wills  of  issuers  have  been  discovered  in  the  Probate  Court, 
and  their  mention  of  land  under  curious  local  names,  often  still  well 
known,  makes  them  of  especial  interest ;  while  the  persistence  of 
local  names,  as  Didlesfold,  Mower,  Strudwick,  Enticknap,  and  Gaston, 
all  from  the  villages  of  Cranleigh  or  Bramiey,  is  one  of  the  more 
striking  features  of  our  Surrey  village  life.  Sometimes  the  informa- 
tion is  gathered  from  other  sources,  as,  for  instance,  the  gallery  of 
Croydon  Church  records  the  name  of  the  man  who  issued  the  only 
heart-shaped  Surrey  token,  and  who  was  churchwarden  when  the 
gallery  was  erected. 

At  Ewell  a  token  is  issued  by  Samuel  Hawkins,  and  on  searching 
the  parish  registers  for  this  small  hamlet,  the  name  of  Hawkins 
seems  to  fill  up  the  greater  portion  of  the  entries.  From  1600  to 
1776,  the  registers  are  full  of  entries  of  births,  deaths,  and  baptisms 
of  member  of  this  family,  who  seem  to  have  been  a  very  large 
family,  and  evidently  formed  the  leading  residents  of  the  place.  The 
other  Ewell  token  is  hardly  decipherable,  but  bears  a  most  unusual 
name,  Ferdinando  Dow,  and  conjecture  is  busy  to  determine  whether 
this  issuer  was  of  Spanish  or  of  Dutch  extraction. 

Many  a  quaint  entry  in  the  churchwardens'  books  at  Farnham, 
and  many  a  tombstone  at  Guildford,  have  been  laid  under  contribu- 
tion to  furnish  information. 

In  one  case  we  read  of  a  woman  issuer  standing  and  doing  public 
penance  in  Farnham  Church  for  offence,  and  of  a  Guildford  issuer, 
one  John  Martin,  we  learn  quite  a  little  history.  Apprenticed  by  the 
overseers  as  a  town  poor  boy,  serving  his  master  faithfully  and  well.

rising  to  be  Mayor  of  his  native  town,  and  being  elected  several 
times,  subscribing  largely  to  a  fund  for  welcoming  Charles  II.  on  his 
visit  to  the  town  in  1663,  becoming  churchwarden,  Bailiff,  overseer 
for  his  parish,  and  living  to  the  age  of  75,  and  then  being  buried  with 
great  honour,  form  a  series  of  interesting  links  of  information  in  the 
life  of  a  successful  hardworking  Surrey  trader  of  the  seventeenth 
century.  Then  the  religious  scruples  of  some  of  these  sturdy  men 
must  not  be  overlooked,  and  Besse's  "  Sufferings  of  the  Quakers  " 
tells  us  that  many  of  them  belonged  to  that  most  persecuted  sect, 
and  suffered  hard  things  for  conscience*  sake.  A  Kingston  issuer, 
Fielder,  signed  the  celebrated  Quakers'  petition  in  1659,  and  had  a 
distress,  amounting  to  £2$,  served  upon  him  for  attending  meeting, 
and  later  on  was  committed  to  prison  for  refusing  to  take  an  oath. 

Another  Kingston  issuer,  Hubbard,  was  cruelly  beaten,  "  to  keep 
him,"  as  the  record  curiously  adds,  "  out  of  his  meeting-house,"  and 
fined  £20  per  month  for  absence  from  national  worship. 

John  Hollis,  of  Kingston,  was  imprisoned  in  the  Marshalsea  for 
non-payment  of  tithes,  and  fined  for  attendance  at  meeting,  and  in 
Guildford  several  issuers  were  fined  for  refusing  to  take  an  oath  of 
office  as  Bailiff,  and  removed  from  their  position.  Some  of  these 
issuers  expressly  declared  their  children  as  "  Borne  "  in  the  column 
of  the  church  register  apportioned  to  baptisms,  and  in  this  way  also 
declared  their  religious  scruples. 

Our  forefathers  in  the  Government  of  the  day  had  strange  and 
harsh  methods  of  obtaining  what  they  were  pleased  to  term  unity 
and  uniformity ;  and  these  sufferings  for  conscience*  sake,  so  little  ago 
as  1670,  are  remnants  of  a  bygone  practice  that  we  are  thankful  to 
feel  will  never  be  renewed.  Of  a  far  more  pleasant  character  is  the 
epitaph  on  the  tomb  of  Charles  Salter,  of  Kingston,  another  tokener, 
which  records  the  decease  of  himself  at  the  age  of  83,  and  his  wife 
at  that  of  77,  within  twenty  days  of  each  other,  and  which  continues  its 
narrative  in  these  words  : 

*'  And  God  took  them.     They  lived  a  pattern 
Of  conjugal  affection,  and  when  one  was  gone 
This  world  was  no  longer  pleasing  to  the  other." 

Many  inns  named  on  tokens,  and  which  were  at  the  time  good  and 
well-known  posting-houses,  still  remain;  and  the  Swan,  Haslemere; 
Red  Lion,  Richmond ;  Noah's  Ark,  Lambeth ;  Catherine  Wheel, 
Egham  ;  Hart,  Chobham,  are  examples  of  many  cases  in  which  the 
present  day  and  the  old  token  tell  the  same  tale,  although  it  is  to  be 
feared  that  the  measure  of  business  done  by  many  of  these  houses  is 
very  different  now  to  what  it  was. 

Robert  King,  of  the  King's  Head,  issued  a  token  at  Richmond, 
and  this  family  kept  that  inn  at  the  ferry  for  generations — the 
Protector's  commission  renewing  the  privilege  at  a  rental  of  one 
mark  per  annum  being  still  in  existence. 

It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  Surrey  tokens  have  been  found  in 
almost  every  county  in  the  kingdom,  a  proof  of  the  commercial  im- 
portance of  the  county  in  those  days.

paid  £100  sterling." 

In  the  Hearth-tax,  15th  Charles  II.,  188-481,  we  read:  "William  Mower,  of 
Cranleigh,  1  hearth  ";  and  again,  "  He  was  assessed  in  the  Subsidy  Roll  of  16th 
Charles  II.,  No.  186-451,  at  8s."

R.  gvildford  .  1658  =  A  small  castle.     (Plate,  No.  5.) 
Henry  Lee  was  one  of  the  town  poor  apprentices,  having  been  apprenticed  by 

the  overseers  to  "John  Childs  and  another,  and  faithfully  served  them  seven  roll 

years,"  taking  up  the  freedom  of  the  town. 

He  evidently  attained  to  a  good  position  in  the  town  afterwards,  from  the  (act  of 

his  issuing  his  own   trade  token.     He  was  elected  overseer  for  the  parish  of 

St.  Mary,  April  4,  1680,  and  December  26,  1682,  and  churchwarden,  April  13, 

1691. 
The  modern  spelling  of  the  name  of  the  town  appears  on  this  token  for  the  first 

time. 

109.  A  variety  is  dated  1653. 

110.  O.    NICHOLAS  .  LINTOTT=  A  Castle. 

R.  of  .  gilford  .  1656  =  A  woolsack.     (Plate,  No.  7.) 

A  town  apprentice,  having  been  bound  to  Thomas  Newman,  and  served  him 
"seven  full  years." 

He  was  made  "  Baylifle  "  in  1659,  and  elected  one  of  the  "  approved  men,"  or 
Town  Councillor,  in  1660,  and  also  in  1661. 

In  1662,  however,  the  following  record  appears  in  the  town  books  : 

"  Nicholas  Lintott  was  discharged  from  being  called  by  the  name  of  Baylifle  in 
1662,  for  refusing  to  take  the  oath  and  make  subscription." 

This  probably  refers  to  the  Corporation  Act*  (17  Car.  II.,  cap.  2),  and  to  the 
Oath  of  Non-resistance  and  abjuring  the  Covenant  (15  Car.  II.,  cap.  5) ;  and  the 
fact  of  Lintott  refusing  to  take  it  would  imply  that  he  was  a  Dissenter,  probably  a 
Quaker,  very  possibly  one  of  those  who,  with  other  Guildford  men,  supported 
Cromwell. 

A  remarkable  proof  of  this  man's  strong  Puritan  opinions  appears  in  Holy 
Trinity  register,  in  which  his  family  are  conspicuously  entered  as  "Borne,"  in  the 
"  Baptized  "  column,  and  never  as  ••  Bapiized." 

*  The  objectionable  words  in  this  Act  were  the  following  :  "  I,  A.  B.,  do  swear 
that  it  is  not  lawful  upon  any  pretence  whatever  to  take  up  arms  against  the  King, 
and  that  I  -do  abhor  that  traitorous  position  of  taking  up  arms  against  His  Person, 
or  against  those  that  are  commissioned  by  him.  And  that  I  will  not  at  any  time 
endeavour  any  alteration  of  Government  either  in  Church  or  State."

With  one  exception,  this  is  the  rarest  of  all  the  Guildford  series,  and  one  of  the 

scarcest  of  the  tokens  of  the  county. 
Nothing  is  at  present  known  about  the  issuer  of  this  token,  the  only  halfpenny 

of  the  series,  and  an  exception  to  the  general  rule  as  regards  the  spelling  of  the 

*ord  PENNY. 

114.  O.   ABDIAH  .  MARTIN  .   1 664  =  A  Woolsack. 

R.  in  .  gilford  .  1664  =  A  castle. 

A  freeman  of  Guildford,  having  served  his  father  in  apprenticeship  seven 
years. 

He  was  proprietor  of  a  piece  of  ground  next  the  Tun  Inn,  in  Tunsgate,  upon 
which  an  annual  charge  to  the  Grammar  School  existed,  as  in  the  rent  roll  of  the 
Free  Grammar  School,  December  15, 167 1,  we  read  : 

"Abdiah  Martin  is  charged  for  his  garden  and  where  the  mercate  house  is 
built,  xxd." 

A  piece  of  this  ground  was  afterwards  purchased  by  the  Corporation,  and  the 
wheat  market -house  above  referred  to  built  upon  it. 

This  market-house  was,  however,  let  on  a  lease  of  1,000  years  to  a  Mr.  Steere 
on  June  13,  1737. 

115.  A  singular  variety  of  this  token  bears  on  the  obverse,  in 

addition  to  the  legend,  the  date  1664,  and  on  the 

reverse  1652.  (Plate,  No.  8.) 
It  is  dear,  on  examination,  that  the  obverse  is  the  usual  one,  as  described  above  ; 
but  the  reverse  exactly  resembles  that  of  the  following  token  of  John  Martin,  and 
it  is  supposed  that  the  same  coiner  struck  each  of  these  tokens,  but  that,  in  error, 
he  used  an  old  reverse  die  of  John  Martin  in  striking  a  second  issue  for  Abdiah, 
instead  of  the  correct  die. 

116.  Another  most  curious  variety  reads  abdiah  .  martin  .  martin 

on  the  obverse,  and  is  clearly  one  struck  from  an  in- 
correct die,  probably  only  a  proof. 

117.  A  third  variety  is  struck  upon  pure  copper,  not  brass  as  usual, 

and  is  nearly  one-eighth  of  an  inch  thick. 

118.  O.  iohn  .  martin  =  A  woolsack. 
R.  in  .  gilford  .  1652  =  A  castle. 

This  John  Martin  is  another  instance  of  a  poor  lad  rising  to  considerable  position 
and  affluence  in  his  native  town. 

The  old  parish  register  informs  us  that  he  was  apprenticed  by  the  overseers  to 
Mr.  Cobbett,  and  served  his  master  "faithfully  and  well  for  nine  years."  Some- 
thing like  an  apprenticeship ! 

In  1640  he  had  become  a  man  of  property,  and  the  Roll  of  the  Subsidy,  pre- 
viously quoted  as  granted  by  Parliament  to  Charles  I.,  has  his  name  thus : 

*  Iohn  Martyn  in  goodes  iij^"  paying  vx.  iij</.  in  every  pound." 

In  1643,  the  town  records  iibte  that  John  Martyn  was  one  of  the  wardens  of  the 
Rye  Market-house. 

The  Rye  Market-house  stood  in  High  Street,  and  occupied  a  site  in  the  north-

east  corner  of  Holy  Trinity  Church.     It  was  palled  down  on  January  6,  1758,  and 
its  value  C£2CO)  invested  in  bank  stock. 

In  1647  John  Martyn  was  elected  as  Mayor,  but,  singular  to  state,  does  not 
appear  as  an  "  approved  man,1'  or  Councillor,  until  1651,  and  would  therefore  appear 
to  have  been  selected  from  the  town  without  first  passing  through  the  Council. 

He  was  elected  an  "approved  man"  six  times,  i.e,  in  1651,  1652,  1653,  1656, 
1657  and  1658,  and  was  again  Mayor  in  1654  and  1655. 

In  1663  the  town  incurred  an  expense  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  five  pounds 
(<£!55 — in  those  days  an  enormous  sum),  which  was  all  spent  in  welcoming  his 
Majesty  Charles  II.,  in  his  visit  to  Guildford  soon  after  his  restoration. 

Like  a  brave  old  Royalist,  as  he  most  certainly  must  have  been,  John  Martyn — 
or  Martin,  as  the  name  then  appears — gave  a  subscription  of  five  pounds  {£$) 
towards  this  expense ;  and,  with  the  exception  of  John  Smallpeece  and  Joseph 
Nettles,  who  gave  an  equal  amount,  we  do  not  find  that  any  Guildfordian  gave  so 
large  a  gift.  He  evidently  lived  in  the  parish  of  St.  Mary,  as  the  churchwardens' 
book  proves,  his  signatures  being  head  of  the  list  for  several  years  in  the  signatures 
of  those  who  attended  the  vestry  meetings.  The  fact  that  it  is  first  written  when- 
ever he  attended  shows  he  was  considered  a  man  of  great  importance  in  the  parish. 
He  is  buried  near  the  north  door  of  St.  Mary's  Church,  having  died  at  the  age  of 
seventy-five.

Joseph  Nettles  was  an  "  approved  mam  "  of  Guildford  five  times,  viz.,  in  1657, 
1658,  1659,  1660,  and  1661. 

He  is  described  in  Russell's  "  History  "  as  being  of  St.  Mary's  parish  ;  and  he 
founded  an  exhibition  to  the  University  of  Oxford  or  Cambridge,  for  the  son  of  a 
freeman  taught  in  the  Grammar  School,  by  leaving  to  ihe  said  school  certain  lands 
in  Stoke  on  trust. 

This  man  shared  the  same  fate  as  Nicholas  Lintott,  previously  referred  to,  being 
discharged  from  being  called  by  the  name  of  Bayliffe  for  refusing  to  take  the  oath 
in  1662. 

He  was  a  publican,  and  tenant  of  the  Grammar  School  for  the  Tun  Inn.  See 
the  Rent  Roll  of  December  15,  1671,  in  which  his  rent  is  mentioned  at  "  %xxs.  for 
the  halfe  yeare." 

He  also  rented  of  the  same  charity  "  a  corne  chamber  over  the  wheat  mercate 
house  and  a  shed  thereto  belonging  for  xxyjj.  for  the  halfe  yeare." 

As  mentioned  before,  he  was  one  of  the  three  men  who  subscribed  £$  each 
towards  the  expense  of  ^155  incurred  in  welcoming  Charles  II.  to  Guildford  in  1663.

John  Remnant  was  a  resident  in  St.  Mary's  parish,  and  was  appointed  collector 
for  the  poor  for  that  parish  in  1669. 

He  was  also  appointed  surveyor  of  highways  for  the  same  parish  on  Decem- 
ber 29,  167 1,  and  overseer  of  highways  for  the  same,  December  29,  1674. 

Boyne  gives  the  spelling  of  Gillford  incorrectly  as  Gilford. 

The  issuer,  with  two  others,  had  a  distress  served  upon  him  in  1670,  in  which 
goods  value  £17  1 6s.  were  taken  from  the  three  of  them  for  an  attendance  at  a 
meeting  held  in  the  street,  when  kept  out  of  their  meeting-house  at  Guildford.— 
'*  Sufferings  of  the  Quakers,"  vol.  i.,  p.  699. 

In  1670  we  read  the  following  quaint  and  interesting  entry  of  him  :  "  Jane  Rem- 
nant, of  Guildford,  had  taken  from  her  soe  much  cheese  as  was  worth  aboute  lower 
pounds  for  three  pounds  imposed  on  her  son  John  for  being  at  a  silent  meeting 
amoungst  Friends,  where  shee  was  not  nor  did  usually  frequent.  The  wch  cheese 
was  keept  by  ye  magistrates  whilst  it  was  spoyled,  for  none  would  buy  it,  but  it 
was  cast  forth  and  buryed."

One  of  the  specimens  in  the  Editor's  possession  was  found  between  some  boards 
in  the  Town  Hall  by  Apark,  the  beadle,  in  1847,  *nd  is  the  only  token  we  ever 
heard  of  beio£  found  in  the  hall. 

The  issuer  is  supposed  to  have  been  a  lawyer ;  his  signature  appears  on  receipts 
in  the  receipt-book  of  Nettles'  Charity,  and  also  as  a  ratepayer  of  the  parish  of 
Holy  Trinity,  in  the  churchwardens'  book  at  the  Easter  vestries  of  1697,  1699, 
1702  and  17 13.  In  the  roll  of  voluntary  contributors  toward  the  alteration  of 
the  gallery  in  the  church,  in  1699,  his  name  appears,  with  that  of  John  Smallpeece, 
as  a  donor  of  2s.  6d. 

He  took  up  his  freedom  of  the  town,  as  eldest  son,  from  his  father  ;  and  he  was 
appointed  Tythingman  in  1658,  and  overseer  of  the  poor  for  the  parish  of  St. 
Mary,  1676. 

123.  O.  iohn  .  smallpeece  =  A  castle  with  a  woolsack  before  it 
R.  in  .  gvilford  =  A  barge  with  four  men  rowing.     (Plate, 

No.  12.) 

The  representative  of  one  of  the  very  oldest  Guildford  families,  resident  in  the 
town  now  for  over  400  years. 

This  John  Smallpeece  was  a  grocer,  and  his  father  was  also  of  that  trade ;  and 
in  the  constitution-book  of  the  town,  amongst  the  apprenticeships  registered,  is 
this  name  : 

"  Apprenticed  to  his  Father  and  Mother,  Grocers." 
An  unusual  entry,  and  one  which  would  appear  to  prove  that  the  mother  was  an 
active  and  working  partner  in  the  business,  so  much  so  as  to  be  mentioned  in  the 
indenture  of  apprenticeship. 

On  Tuesday,  August  26,  1662  (14  Car.  II.),  twelve  royal  commissioners, 
amongst  whom  was  Sir  Richard  Onslow,  held  sittings  at  Guildford,  to  inquire  into 
the  proceedings  of  the  Mayor  and  certain  magistrates  of  the  town,  who  had  re- 
fused to  take  the  oath  of  supremacy  and  non-resistance  upon  the  restoration  of 
Charles  IL  ; 

"and  Henry  Parson,  Maior ;  R.  Budd,  sen.,  John  How,  John  Alderton,  Wm. 
Hill*  T.  Smith,  T.  Horsnaile,  magistrates,  were  discharged  and  acquitted  from 
the  office  of  ma  i  oral  tie  and  magistracey  of  the  said  towne  for  refusing  to  take  the 
Oathes  and  make  subscription  as  by  the  said  act  of  parliament  is  enjoyned.  And 
for  the  future  they  be  not  called  or  beare  the  name  of  magistrates  and  approved 
men  of  the  towne  aforesaid  ;  and  John  Smalepeice,  grocer,  was  chosen  Maior  in 
hi»  stead." 

He  was,  from  this  extract,  evidently  a  man  of  some  note  in  the  town  for  loyalty 
to  Church  and  King,  or  he  would  not  have  been  specially  selected  for  this  honour 
by  the  royal  commissioners. 

He  lived  to  the  age  of  seventy-nine,  and  died  July  29,  1701,  and  is  buried  in  the 
centre  aisle  of  Holy  Trinity  Church. 

He  was  elected  constable,  a  kind  of  special  overseer,  for  his  native  parish  of  St. 
Mary  on  December  24*  1668,  and  in  the  churchwardens'  book  for  St.  Mary's  occurs 
the  following  entry : 

"  Sept.  ye  I,  1672. 

"  Collected  for  John  Smallpeece  of  Guildford  for  losses  by  Fire  xxiijx.  viij</." 

It  would  appear  from  this  entry  that  he  was  a  person  of  so  much  consequence  in 
the  parish,  that  a  special  offertory  was  made  at  the  parish  church  to  assist  him  in 
meeting  some  heavy  loss  incurred  by  fire. 

In  1695  be  was  churchwarden  of  the  parish  of  Holy  Trinity,  and  his  signature 
as  a  ratepayer  occurs  in  the  churchwardens'-book  of  that  parish  at  the  Easter 
vestries  of  1697,  1699  and  1701.  Among  the  list  of  voluntary  contributions 
towards  the  altering  of  the  gallery  of  Holy  Trinity  Church,  1699,  his  name  appears

as  a  donor  of  2s.  6d.  In  this  roll  the  total  amount  collected  was  only  £7  14s., 
and  only  five  donations  were  of  10s.,  most  of  the  amounts  being  2s.  6d.  and  is. 
There  is  an  oft-recurring  item  in  the  churchwardens'  account,  reading,  "For 
breaking  the  ground  in  the  Church,  paid  Iohn  Smallpeece  6s.  8d." 

An  ancestor  of  this  issuer  was  Mayor  of  the  town  in  1502,  and  the  name  appears 
on  the  Mayor's  Roll  in  1552,  1560,  1568,  1574,  1582,  1591,  1596,  1602,  1662  (as 
above),  1707,  1 7 14,  183 1,  and  1836;  but,  although  members  of  the  family  have 
been  on  the  Council  since,  they  have  not  provided  another  Mayor  of  the  borough. 

A  descendant  of  the  issuer  is  at  present  Town  Clerk  of  Guildford ;  and  the 
character  borne  by  old  John  Smallpeece  in  1662  may  be  said  with  much  certainty 
to  belong  still  to  the  honoured  descendants  of  the  same  family. 

124.    O.    IAMES  .  SNELLING  =  A  woolsack. 

R.  in  .  gvilforde  =  A  castle.     (Plate,  No.  13.) 

As  far  as  can  be  ascertained,  the  specimen  of  this  token  in  the  cabinet  of  the 
Editor  of-this  work  is  unique.     It  was  presented  to  the  late  John  Nealds,  Esq.,  a    j 
well-known  Guildford  antiquary,  by  the  Rev.  Charles  Kerry,  M.A.,  when  curate 
of  Puttenham,  who  is  a  most  zealous  and  painstaking  antiquary  himself,  and  who    | 
found  it  near  Guildford  when  searching  for  some  flint  implements  on  March  4, 1873. 

There  is  no  specimen  of  it  in  the  British  Museum,  nor  in  any  public  or  private 
collection  within  the  personal  knowledge  of  the  author,  and  it  is  very  singular  that 
one  only  of  this  issue  should  be  known  as  surviving  from  those  originally  struck. 

The  issuer  was  a  freeman  of  the  town,  taking  up  his  freedom  from  his  father  as 
eldest  son.  He  was  evidently  a  well-known  and  respected  man,  as  he  served  bis 
town  as  "  an  approved  man  "  no  less  than  ten  times,  i.e.,  in  1665,  1666, 1667, 1668, 
1669,  1670,  167 1,  1672,  1673,  1674,  and  was  elected  Serjeant-at-mace  September  t, 
1662,  in  room  of  William  Tisberry,  discharged  for  refusing  to  take  the  oath. 

In  January,  1660,  James  Snelling,  Quaker,  was  taken  from  his  house  at  Guild- 
ford, and  committed  to  the  White  Lion  Prison,  Southwark,  and  there  placed 
among  the  felons,  with  seventy  other  Quakers  from  different  parts  of  Surrey, 
thirty-two  of  whom  were  tried  on  October  30,  1662,  for  obstinate  refusal  to  repair 
•  unto  a  church  or  chapel,  and  being  present  at  an  unlawful  assembly  or  conventicle, 
and  were  sentenced  to  be  imprisoned  for  three  months,  and  after  that  time  10 
abjure  the  realm  or  be  proceeded  against  as  felons.—  "  Sufferings  of  the  Quakers," 
vol.  i.,  p.  690. 

125.  O.  thomas  .  tompson  =  A  castle. 

R.  of  .  gilford  .  1657  =  A  woolsack. 

Thomas  Tompson  was  apprenticed  to  Mathew  Birchell,  and  served  him  seven 
full  years,  taking  up  his  freedom  therefrom. 

He  was  elected  "  approved  man  "  three  times,  viz.,  1665,  1666,  1667,  and  Bailiff 
of  the  town,  1664. 

In  1608  (6  Jac.  I.)  the  entry  occurs  in  the  Guildford  constitution-book  relative 
to  this  issuer,  probably  of  his  father  : 

••  Thomas  Tompson,  the  elder  one,  of  the  Corporation  of  Guildford,  disfran- 
chised, and  dismissed  from  the  fellowship  of  the  Mayor  and  approved  men  daring 
such  tyme  as  he  shall  keep  a  comon  alehouse  or  tiplingehouse,  '

R.    OF  .  GILLFORD  .   1657  =  A  Woolsack. 

The  only  difference  between  this  issue  and  the  last  occurs  in  the  spelling  of  the 
word  "  Gilford  "  or  "  Gillford,"  one  being  with  only  one  "  L,"  the  other  having 
two. 

In  January,  1660,  Thomas  Thompson,  Quaker,  was  taken  from  his  bed  at 
Guildford  and  committed  to  the  White  Lion  Prison,  Southwark,  and  there  placed 
among  the  felons,  with  seventy  other  Quakers  from  different  parts  of  Surrey, 
thirty-two  of  whom  were  tried  on  October  30,  1662,  for  obstinate  refusal  to  repair 
unto  a  church  or  chapel,  and  being  present  at  an  unlawful  assembly  or  conventide,

In  the  Feet  of  Fines,  Hilary,  20th  and  21st  Charles  II.,  1667-68,  we  read  : 

"John  Feilder,  plaintiff,  and  Rich.  Bennett  and  Maria,  his  wife  defendants,  of 
(bar  acres  of  land  and  six  acres  of  pasture,  with  appurtenances,  in  Kingston-on-

In  the  Feet  of  Fines,  Surrey,  Michaelmas,  26th  Charles  II.,  1674,  is  the 
record  of: 

"John  Feilder,  plaintiff,  and  Sackford  Gonson  and  Hesta  his  wife,  defendants, 
of  seven  acres  of  ground  and  four  acres  of  pasture,  with  appurtenances,  in  the 
parish  of  Kingston-on-Thames,  the  same  being  granted  to  John  Feilder,  who  pays 
£60  sterling.* 

And  again,  Michaelmas,  27th  Charles  II.,  1675  : 

"John  Delamain  and  Maria  his  wife,  plaintiffs,  and  John  Feilder  and  Anna 
his  wife,  defendants,  of  one  messuage,  two  barns,  one  garden,  and  one  orchard, 
with  appurtenances,  in  Kingston-on-Thames,  the  same  being  granted  to  said  John 
and  Maria,  who  pay  ^60  sterling." 

This  man  appears  to  hare  been  a  Quaker,  as  a  distress  was  levied  upon  him  and 
three  others  for  an  attendance  at  a  meeting  at  Kingston  on  May  12, 1670,  amount- 
ing to  £25  is.  iod.  In  1667  the  same  person  was  committed  to  prison  for  refusing 
to  answer  upon  oath. — ••  Sufferings  of  the  Quakers,"  vol.  i.,  pp.  694,  698. 

Mention  is  made  in  the  records  of  the  Corporation  of  the  City  of  London  in 
January,  1649,  of  a  John  Fielder  as  printer  to  the  Parliament  of  England,  and  a 
Quaker. 

In  1659  a  petition,  very  largely  signed,  was  presented  to  Parliament  by  Quakers, 
praying  for  redress  for  the  140  of  their  brethren  then  in  prison,  and  for  the  1,90a 
who  were  at  that  time  under  persecution  for  conscience*  sake.  To  this  petition  the

At  the  Will  Office  (book  Pye,  folio  6)  is  the  will  of  Stephen  Feildei,  of 
Kingston-on-Thames,  mercer  : 

"  He  bequeaths  to  Sarah,  his  wife,  in  recompense  of  her  faithful  lore  and  careful 
industry,  all  his  messuages,  houses,  and  lands,  with  their  appurtenances,  in 
Kingston ;  his  messuage,  tenement,  or  inn,  called  or  knowne  by  the  name  or  signe 
of  the  Crane,  and  its  appurtenances,  and  four  tenements  thereunto  adjoining  (now 
in  the  several  tenures  of  Robert  Ballard,  Samuel  Hobbes,  George  Walter,  James 
Gould,  and  William  Carpenter),  to  Stephen,  his  eldest  son,  and  his  heirs  for  ever, 
on  condition  that  he  pays  to  Thomas  and  Samuel  Fielder  (his  sons)  and  Sarah 
(his  daughter)  £10  each  yearly  for  the  term  of  their  natural  lives.  Other 
messuages  in  Kingston  he  leaves  to  John  Feilder,  fourth  son,  and  to  James 
Feilder,  second  son  ;  all  his  personal  estate  to  Sarah,  his  wife,  whom  he  appoints 
sole  executrix.  Trustees,  his  brother,  John  Feilder,  brother-in-law,  James 
Knowles,  and  faithful  friends,  James  Hargrave,  gent.,  and  Francis  Holden. 
Dated  Dec.,  1672.     Proved  Jan.  28,  1673." 

In  the  Feet  of  Fines,  Easter,  Surrey,  16th  Charles  II.,  1664,  is  the  entry  : 

"  Stephen  Feilder,  plaintiff,  and  Edward  Blackfan,  defendant,  of  one  messuage, 
one  yard,  one  garden,  with  appurtenances,  in  Kingston-on-Thames,  granted  to  the

In  the  Feet  of  Fines,  Surrey,  Michaelmas,  23rd  Charles  II.  (1671),  we  read : 

"Jeremiah  Hollis  and  Anna  his  wife,  plaintiffs,  and  John  Hollis,  sen.,  and 
Margaret  his  wife,  defendants,  of  one  messuage,  three  cottages,  three  bams,  and 
three  gardens,  with  appurtenances,  in  Kingston-on-Thames,  the  same  being  granted 
to  the  said  Jeremiah  and  Anne,  who  pay  £60  sterling." 

And  again,  Michaelmas,  28th  Charles  II.  (1676) : 

"James  Smallpeicc,  sen.,  plaintiff,  and  John  Hollis  and  Elizabeth  his  wife, 
defendants,  of  one  barn  and  three  gardens,  with  appurtenances  in  Kingston,  the 
same  John  and  Elizabeth  granting  the  same  to  tne  said  James,  who  pays  £40 
sterling." 

In  the  Hearth-tax  of  15th  Charles  II.,  188-481,  is  the  entry  of  Mr.  John 
Holies,  eight  hearths.  The  prefix  "  Mr."  shows  the  issuer  to  be  a  man  of  import- 
ance. 

In  the  Feet  of  Fines,  Easter,  1st  William  and  Mary,  is  the  entry  : 

"  Robert  Bandford,  plaintiff,  and  John  Hollis  and  Elizabeth  his  wife,  defend- 
ants, of  one  messuage,  one  cottage,  one  barn,  one  stable,  and  one  garden  in  King- 
ston, for  which  the  said  Rolwrt  paid  ^60  sterling." 

There  is  also  note  of  a  suit  between  John  Hollis  and  Wlliam  Elsey,  gent,  con- 
cerning certain  tithes  in  Kingston,  entered  in  the  Exchequer  decrees,  20th  of 
Charles  II.  *  ^  . 

The  issuer  appears  to  have  been  a  Quaker,  as  in  a  distress  issued  at  Kingston  in 
1670  he,  with  three  others,  appears  as  attending  meeting,  and  goods  were  taken 
from  the  four  of  them  amounting  to £\y.  He  was  also  imprisoned  in  1681  in  the 
Marshalsea  for  non-payment  of  tithes. 

The  following  entries  also  relate  to  him,  Feet  of  Fines,  Surrey,  Michaelmas, 
14th  Charles  II.,  1662  : 

"Tobias  Yates,  plaintiff,  and  John  Hollis  and  Margaret  his  wife,  defendants,

John  and  Margaret  granting  the  same  to  the  said  Tobias  for  50  years,  who  pays 
£60  sterling."

187-479,  14th  Charles  II.,  in  the  schedule  of  persons  exempted  from  payment  of

1662,  for  five  hearths  and  stoves,  is  declared. 

Mem. — The  word  "  stoves  "  is  of  unusual  occurrence  in  this  schedule,  and  this 
man  is  termed  one  of  the  "  head  burroughs  of  Kingston,  and  a  constable  that  has 
made  defaulte  in  bringinge  their  moneys."  The  tax,  therefore,  did  not  probably 
refer  to  his  own  property,  but  to  that  for  which  he  was  a  collector. 

He  was  assessed  at  six  hearths,  Hearth-tax,  Charles  II. 

In  1686  Charles  Salter  was  an  Alderman  of  the  borough  under  the  new  charter 
of  James  II.,  dated  August  28,  1685. 

In  Kingston  parish  church,  Manning  and  Bray  record  the  following  inscription  : 

"  In  expectation  of  a  joyful  and  glorious  resurrection,  here  lve  interred  the 
bodies  of  Charles  Salter,  Gent.,  and  Martha  his  wife.  He  had  issue  by  her  19 
children,  and  was  seven  times  Bailiff  of  this  Town.  He  died  the  12th  of  March, 
A.D.  1 7 10,  in  the  83rd  year  of  his  age.  And  God  took  her  the  9th  of  February  pre- 
ceding, aged  77  years.  They  lived  a  pattern  of  conjugal  affection,  and  when  one 
was  gone,  this  world  was  no  longer  pleasing  to  the  other. ' — Manning's  H  Hist./

The  Buck's  Head  Inn,  which  is  situated  at  Upper  Mitcham,  and  on  the  east  side 
of  the  highroad  to  London,  was  formerly  an  old-fashioned  house ;  but  it  was 
enlarged,  much  modernized,  and  altered  to  its  present  condition  about  forty  years 
ago.  In  the  seventeenth  century  it  was  part  of  the  estate  of  the  visitation  family 
of  Smytbe,  of  Mitcham,  for  it  appears  from  an  inquisition  held  at  Southwark,  co. 
Surrey,  May  8,  15  Car.  I.,  1639,  after  the  death  of  George  Smythe,  of  Mitcham, 
Esq.,  who  was  buried  at  Mitcham,  October  12,  1638,  that  he  died  seized,  amongst 
other  property,  of  a  messuage  in  Mitcham  called  by  the  sign  and  known  by  the 
name  of  "  the  Bucke's  Head,  now  or  late  in  the  tenure  of  George  Fisher."  George 
Fisher  and  Joane  Hethersall  were  married  at  Mitcham,  October  14,  16 16.  It 
should  be  noted  that  the  crest  of  the  Smythe  family  of  Mitcham  is,  a  buck's  head 

Siles,  attired  argent.     It  would  seem  that  David  Morgan  occupied  the  Buck's 
ead  on  February  23,   1672-3,  the    annexed  entry  occurring  under  that  date 
amongst  the  baptisms  in  the  parish  register : 

"  Rebekah,  the  daughter  of  one  Thomas  Blisset,  whose  wife  being  in  a  journey 
was  deliue'd  at  the  Buck's  Head." 

There  is  little  doubt  that  the  following  item  from  the  overseers'  accounts  for  the 
year  1673  rtfcn  to  the  above : 

**  V6  Morgan  for  keeping  a  woman  broug*  to  bed  in  his  house,  01  05  00." 
The  seven  entries  given  below  are  all  of  the  name  of  Morgan  that  occur  in  the 
parish  register  during  the  seventeenth  century.     The  issuer  of  the  token  is  probably 
the  David  Morgan  buried  on  March  1 1,  1 695-6,  but  there  does  not  appear  to  be 
any  will  or  administration  for  him  in  the  P.CC.  or  the  Surrey  courts.

This  was  discovered  during  the  recent  excavations  in  Duke  Street,  Richmond, 

Surrey,  at  a  depth  of  eight  feet,  together  with  some  pottery,  and  is  in  the  possession 

of  Mr.  Cockburn. 

"One  Luke  Shynoel  occupied  a  seat  in  the  church  in  1650,"  according  to 

"  Richmond  Notes,"  March,  1865. 
The  following  entry  appears  in  the  parish  registers  of  Isleworth  : 
"Buried  at  Isleworth,  Dec.  27,  1642,  Katherine,  wife  of  Luke  Chinar." 
"  Married  at  same,  Feb.  6,  1644-5,  Luke  Chinar  and  Rose ."

It  is  suspected  that  Clayle  is  a  misprint  for  Flayle.  Michael  Flayle  was  a  some- 
what important  man  in  Richmond,  Surrey.  The  name  appears  in  the  Hearth-tax 
Rolls  (circa  1670),  and  in  the  Surrey  Poll  Book  for  1705.

One  Edward  Farley,  of  Richmond,  died  1660,  leaving  a  son,  William,  whose 
wife  was  Mary,  and  who  died  December  13,  167 1. 

Mary,  the  daughter,  was  baptized  in  Richmond  Church  October  2,  1665. 

The  Will  Office  contains  the  administration,  February  7,  1673-4,  o( : 

44  William  Farley,. of  the  King's  Commissory  Court  of  Surrey,  to  John  AntiU, 
husband  of  Edith,  sister  of  the  deceased." 

William  Farley  appears  to  have  witnessed  the  will  of  Robert  King,  of  Richmond, 
dated  September  5,  1668.    See  No.  229. 

In  the  Hearth-tax,  15th  Charles  II.,  188-481,  is  the  charge  for  :

William  Kinge  occupied  the  Richmond  Ferry  under  the  Piotector's  commissioners 
at  an  annual  rent  of  cne  mark. 

He  died  October  19,  1688. 

In  the  Will  Office  is  the  will  of  Robert  King,  dated  September  5, 1668,  of  Rich- 
mond, victualler : 

"  He  bequeaths  to  his  wife,  Mary,  all  that  messuage  now  in  the  occupation  of 
Thos.  Barnes,  commonly  called  by  the  name  or  sign  of  the  Waterman  Arms. 
To  his  brother  John's  four  children,  John,  Mary,  Elizabeth,  and  William,  £$  each. 
To  his  sister,  Margaret  Silver,  £10.  To  his  cousin,  Elizabeth  Coydell,  2 5-  To

trix, Maty,  his  wife.  Witnesses,  Thos.  Hallowell,  William  Farley,  and  Walter 
Smith." 

In  the  Hearth-tax  of  15th  Charles  II.,  No.  188-481,  is  the  charge  of : 

'•  Robert  Kirg,  of  Richmond,  eight  hearths."

The  three  tokens  of  Garforth  are  very  extraordinary.  We  cannot  understand 
why  a  man  in  so  small  a  village  as  Ripley  should  have  issued  three  tokens,  each 
Wring  different  coats  of  arms.  We  presume  when  he  issued  No.  236  he  was  a 
bachelor,  but  Nos.  237,  238  point  to  two  marriages,  one  with  a  wife  whose  initial 
n  a,  and  the  other  whose  initial  is  E.  Neither  of  the  three  tokens  is  dated,  and 
No.  238  stands  in  an  absolutely  unique  position  in  bearing  the  coat  armour  of 
Christ's  Hospital,  leading  us  to  surmise  that  the  issuer  was  educated  at  that  magni- 
ficent foundation,  and  gratefully  adopted  on  his  token  its  armorial  bearings.

The  Sussex  tokens  are  a  series  which  possess  considerable  interest 
and  importance.  In  appearance  they  present  no  very  special  feature ; 
most  are  of  the  ordinary  shape,  two  only  being  heart-shaped  and  one 
octagonal  In  devices  but  few  present  arms  or  crests  of  private 
individuals,  and  very  many  the  ordinary  trade  arms  and  signs.  Speak- 
ing types  occur  in  tokens  of  Horsham,  Uckfield  and  Chichester,  in 
which  a  heart,  a  swan,  and  a  hart  are  the  punning  devices. 

In  some  instances  the  spelling  of  the  place-name  is  in  a  local 
phonetic  form,  as  at  Arundell,  and  by  this  we  are  enabled  to  verify 
change  in  village  pronunciation.  Many  of  the  tokens  were  issued 
from  places  which  are  now  small  and  insignificant  villages ;  but  in 
one  noticeable  instance,  that  of  Brighton,  the  relative  importance  of 
the  village  in  1668,  to  the  magnificent  watering-place  of  1890,  affords 
remarkable  evidence  of  the  rapid  growth  and  increasing  importance 
of  a  town  which,  but  a  short  while  since,  was  a  mere  fishing  village. 

Eastbourne  is  another  similar  instance,  analogous,  perhaps,  to  the 
growth  of  Clapham  in  Surrey.  These  places  in  the  seventeenth 
century  issued  their  one  or  two  tokens  only,  but  have  grown  to 
gigantic  proportions,  whilst  places  which  issued  many  tokens  in  the 
early  days  have  from  various  reasons  dwindled  down  to  mere  villages. 
The  thirty-three  tokens  of  Chichester,  eleven  of  Midhurst,  and  ten 
of  Petworth,  may  be  referred  to  as  illustrative  of  these  remarks. 
The  persistence  of  local  names  is,  however,  one  of  the  main  features 
of  this  series ;  and,  from  the  valuable  notes  appended  to  the  tokens, 
much  important  information  on  Sussex  families  and  village  life  will 
be  obtained  Nearly  fifty  tokeners  announce  the  fact  of  their 
residence  in  the  county  upon  their  tokens.  This  is  the  largest 
proportion  in  any  county  of  the  United  Kingdom  of  tokens  bearing 
the  county  name,  and  it  reveals  that  love  of  their  home  that  still 
distinguishes  Sussex  men.  The  attribution  of  two  of  the  East- 
bourne tokens  is  somewhat  doubtful,  but  the  fact  of  their  having 
t>een  found  in  the  near  neighbourhood  is  somewhat  strong  evidence 
for  their  removal  from  Lincolnshire  and  attribution  to  Sussex.  The 
token  of  Peeter  Sqvier,  of  Steining,  No.  164,  would  suggest  the 
question  of  hereditary  chemical  knowledge  in  that  family.  The 
coincidence  of  both  name  and  trade  is  very  remarkable. 

The  leading  authority  on  Sussex  archaeology,  Mr.  Frederick  Sawyer, 
F.S.A.,  has,  with  very  great  kindness,  provided  the  notes  to  this 
series.     No  person  is  more  qualified  than  Mr.  Sawyer  to  speak  with

authority  on  the  antiquities  of  Sussex,  and  very  much  time  has 
been  devoted  by  him  to  searching  out  information  respecting  the 
issuers  of  the  tokens.  Reference  has  also  been  made  to  a  privately 
printed  pamphlet  on  Sussex  tokens  by  Mr.  James  Lowe-Warren 
(1888),  and  to  the  collections  of  the  Sussex  Archaeological  Society. 
Notes  to  which  the  word  "  Warren  "  or  the  letters  S.A.C.  are  attached 
are  taken  from  these  latter  sources.  The  Editor  tenders  his  warmest 
thanks  to  Mr.  Sawyer  for  his  most  able  and  valuable  assistance,  and

The  dialectal  form  of  the  place-name  "  Arndell "  on  this  token  is  worthy  of 

special  notice,  being  a  dissyllable  and  not  a  trisyllable,  as  one  would  suppose.    ThN 

has  come  down  from  the  time  of  the  Domesday  Survey,  where  it  appears  as 

••  Harrundel,"  but  now  become  M  Harndeir'  or  "  Arndell."

R.    BRIGHTHELMSTON=l66o. 

John  Brooker  is  described  in  the  Court  Rolls  in  1692  as  "  piscator,"  and  was  the 
fourth  out  of  five  generations  bearing  the  same  Christian  name  and  surname.  He 
was  baptized  at  Brighton  in  1617,  and  buried  ihere  in  1698.  At  the  same  place  in 
1656  he  married  Margaret  Wood,  but  she  had  died  prior  to  1692,  in  which  year  be 
surrenders  his  copyhold  property  to  the  use  of  himself  for  life  ;  next  to  his  wife 
Mary  for  life  ;  then  to  James  Brooker,  of  Brighthelmstone,  cooper,  for  life ;  and 
afterwards  to  James  Brooker,  aged  nine,  son  of  before- mentioned  James  Brooker. 
His  will,  dated  1688,  was  proved  at  Lewes  in  1698. 

30.  O.    HENRY  .  FORSTER  .  IN  =  A  Still. 

R.    BRIGHTHELMSTON  =  H  .  E  .  F.  \ 

Henry  Forster  is  no  doubt  to  be  identified  with  the  person  of  this  name  who  in 
1674  was  one  of  the  witnesses  to  the  will  of  Captain  Nicholas  Tettersell,  in  whose 
vessel  Charles  II.  escaped  to  the  Continent  in  1651.  (See  S.  A.  C.  xxxii  100.) 
If  this  conjecture  be  correct,  the  token  throws  an  interesting  light  on  the  history 
of  the  Old  Ship  Hotel  (the  oldest  inn  in  Brighton),  and  shows  that  Tettersell  not 
only  owned  the  "  Old  Ship,"  but  kept  it  also,  sending  for  Forster,  his  distiller,  to 
witness  his  will.  At  a  Court  Baron  held  for  Brighthelmstone  Manor  on 
October  22,  1708,  the  death  of  Mary,  wife  of  Henry  Forster,  and  daughter  of 
Peter  Marden,  is  presented,  and  Samuel  Forster,  her  youngest  son,  admitted 
tenant  according  to  the  custom  of  the  manor.

sinister  gantlets. 

R.    BRIGHTHELMSTONE  =  I  .  G. 

The  name  of  a  John  Gunter  appears  in  the  Subsidy  Roll  of  1621  as  of  this  pla.c. 
He  was  probably  father  to  the  issuer. 

A  branch  of  the  Gunter  family  of  Racton  had  been  settled  at  Brighton  from  the 
early  part  of  the  seventeenth  century,  if  not  earlier.  John  Gunter  occurs  ia  'he 
Subsidy  162 1  (S.  A.  C.  ix.  78),  and  was  admitttd  to  a  cottage  in  North  Siuei, 
Brighton,  in  1624.  At  a  court  held  for  the  manor  April  1,  1667,  his  death  (in 
1666)  was  presented,  and  his  youngest  son,  Edmund,  admitted  as  customary  heir. 
The  issuer  was  no  doubt  an  elder  son,  John  Gunter,  who  died  about  1669,  leaving 
a  widow,  Elizabeth,  a  son  John,  and  two  daughters,  Susanna  Burton,  wife  of 
James  Burton,  and  Mary  Free  I  and.  The  widow  at  some  date  between  1670  and 
1674  married  Captain  Nicholas  Tettersell.  (See  S.  A.  C  xxxii.  100  and  101.)  It 
is  perhaps  more  than  a  mere  coincidence  that  Colonel  Gunter,  of  Racton,  arranged 
wiih  Tettersell  for  the  escape  of  Charles  II.     {lb.  83.)

"John  Pearsey"  (Harl.  MS.,  No.  6,838,  p.  216).  At  the  Halimote  Court  lor

Peirsey  is  presented,  and  Gabriel  his  youngest  son  admitted.  John  Peersy  (the

his  wife  Elizabeth,  at  a  court  held  for  the  manor  on  August  21,  1671,  surrendered 
his  "shop  and  land  under  the  ClifTe  near  the  Eastgate  to  the  use  of  Henry  Peirsy,

ing interesting  note  relating  10  him  :

onwards.  The  parish  register  records  the  baptism  on  Sept.  3,  1626,  of 
Robert,  son  of  William  Turnagaine,  the  elder,  and  no  doubt  the  issuer.  He  was 
buried  on  May  21,  1679.  His  wife's  name  was  Susan,  and  the  parish  register 
records  the  baptism  of  three  children  of  Robert  and  Susan,  viz. :  1669,  Dec  39> 
Mary  ;  1673,  April  28,  Elizabeth  ;  and  1675,  Dec.  16,  Thomas,  the  latter,  how- 
ever, being  buried  on  Sept.  3, 1676.  The  letters  "  R.  s.  T.  n  thus  stand  for  **  Robert 
and  Susan  Turnagaine."  Robert  Turnagaine  appears  amongst  the  homage  at  a 
Court  Baron  for  Broadwater  Manor  on  Oct.  22,  1678,  and  at  a  Court  Leet  for  the 
Tithings  of  Broadwater,  Worthing  and  Durrington,  on  Oct.  2,  167 1,  he  appears  as 
a  juror,  being  described  as  having  been  head  borough  or  tithing- man  {dmmarim) 
for  the  past  year.  At  a  Court  Baron  on  Oct.  2,  1676,  is  a  presentment  of  a 
surrender  of  a  cottage,  next  the  churchyard  at  Broadwater,  to  the  use  of  Mary, 
daughter  of  Robert  Turnagaine  and  Susan  his  wife,  and  the  heirs  of  her  body,  with 
remainder  to  Elizabeth  Turnagaine,  another  daughter  of  Robert  and  Susan,  ami 
the  heirs  of  her  body.  Mary  Turnagaine,  aged  eight,  was  admitted,  and  Robert 
her  father  appointed  her  guardian.  There  is  a  gap  in  the  Court  Rolls,  but  it  seems 
that  Mary  died  without  heirs,  and  that  Elizabeth  married  one  Ambrose  Martin,  as 
we  find  from  the  proceedings  at  a  Court  Baron  on  Oct.  16,  1725,  an  admission  of 
Thomas  Moor,  of  East  Grinstead,  to  the  property,  on  surrender  of  Ambrose

The  late  Rev.  J.  Coker  Egerton,  M.A.,  Rector,  kindly  searched  the  parish 
registers  and  account  books.  In  the  baptisms  of  1635  is  "  Edward  Austen,  the 
son  of  Edward  Austen  and  Anne  his  wife,  was  baptized  October  13."  It  is  tan- 
certain,  therefore,  whether  these  tokens  were  issued  by  father  or  son,  or  one  bf 
each  of  them.  The  oldest  existing  parochial  account-book  begins  in  1673,  in 
which  year  Edward  Austen  is  assessed  to  the  ability-tax  "  for  the  house  of  Correc- 
tion, Goale  and  mamed  soldiers  and  other  charitable  uses,1'  at  6d.,  the  highest 
assessment  being  that  of  Edward  Polhill,  Esq.,  at  6s. 

The  signature,  Edward  Austen,  appears  among  those  of  the  auditors  of  the 
parochial  accounts  till  1686,  when  it  ceases,  its  place  being  supplied  by  that  of 
Thomas  Austen,  who  on  Oct.  3,  1687,  married  Francisca  More,  and  was  for  many 
years  churchwarden  of  the  parish.  The  burial  of  "  Edward  Austen,  senr. "  » 
registered  on  Feb.  8,  1722,  but  an  ••  Edwardus  Austen  filius  Edwardi"  had  been 
baptized  on  July  21,  1661 ;  the  former  was  therefore  probably  the  second  Edward 
Austen,  born  1635.  Edward  Austen  married  Sarah  Nepeker  (both  of  Bnnrasa 
parish),  on  April  25,  1723,  by  license.

The  Rector  (the  Rev.  J.  B.  Lennard,  M.A.)  has  kindly  searched  the  parish 
registers,  and  states  that  on  September  18,  1693,  is  recorded  the  burial  of  Ralph 
Patrick,  senior  (doubtless  the  issuer). 

The  following  seven  baptisms  of  children  of  Ralph  Patrick  occur  : 

1659.  Judith,  Dec  21 

1666.  Ralph,  May  17. 

1667.  Henry,  Jan.  28.

1 691.  Eliza,  Jan.  3. 
1693.   Ralph,  Sept.  17. 

U  as  seems  probable,  the  first  four  were  the  children  of  the  issuer,  then  the  last 
tree  may  be  children  of  his  son  Ralph,  baptized  in  1666.

The  name  of  Thomas  Hurst  appears  on  the  Subsidy  Roll  of  1 62 1  as  of  this 
fur      He  was  probably  father  of  the  issuer. 

No  baptism  or  burial  of  any  Thomas  Hurst  recorded,  but  amongst  bapti«ms, 
616,  Sept.  29,  Roger,  son  of  Thomas  and  Anne  Hurst,  nnd  1618,  June  7,  John, 
m  of  Thomas  and  Anne  Hurst.  Mr.  Boord  supposes  these  two  to  be  brothers 
f  the  issuer,  which  agrees  with  Messrs.  Smallfield  and  Ellman's  view,  that  the 
'homos  Hurst  on  the  Subsidy  Roll  of  1621  was  the  father  of  the  issuer.  The 
■mh  register,  however,  gives  the  following  curious  entry  : 

"  1655,  Mav  2Qlh»  Thomas  Hurst  and  Elizabeth  Taylor  married  at  Mayfield." 

Now  the  letters  "  T.  a.  h.  "  would  stand  for  Thomas  and  Anne  Hurst,  so  that

this  would  prove  the  first-mentioned  Thomas  Hurst  to  have  been  the  issuer.  The

The  M  Catt "  was  probably  the  local  term  for  the  Dorset  Arms,  a  not  uncommon 
sign  in  the  neighbourhood,  where  that  noble  family  had  formerly  large  landed 
estates.  The  supporters  of  the  Dorset  Arms  are  two  leopards,  popularly  styled  cats, 
and  the  inn  called  the  Dorset  Arms  at  Lewes  was  in  1670  commonly  known  in  the 
town  as  "The  Cats." 

In  John  Taylor's  ••  Catalogue  of  Tavernes  in  tenne  Shires  about  London " 
(1656),  the  following  note  is  given  under  Sussex  : 

"At  East-Greensteed  Iohn  Langridge  and  Henry  Baldwin ;  the  signes  at  East 
Greensted  are  the  Crown  and  the  Cat/' 

Both  surnames  occur  in  the  Subsidies  of  1620  and  1628.  John  Langridge  was 
assessor  in  the  latter  (S.  A  C.  xx.  171).  Presumably  Langridge  kept  the  Crown 
and  Baldwin  the  Cat.

sequestered  by  the  House  of  Commons  in  1643,  and  who  subsequently  practised

As  there  is  no  entry  of  actual  marriage,  it  probably  took  place  at  Hastings  ;  bat

The  Rev.  Dixie  Robertson,  M.A.  (late  Vicar),  kindly  searched  the  parish

"  1668.  Jane,  daughter  of  Thomas  Pilfold  and  Elizabeth  his  wife,  baptized 
August  rhe  third." 

"  1672.  Ann,  daughter  of  Thomas  Pilfold  and  of  Mary  his  wife,  baptised.** 

There  is  no  record  of  the  death  of  his  wife  Elizabeth,  or  of  his  second  marriage. 
The  initials  t.  e.  p.  on  the  token  thus  evidently  stand  for  Thomas  and  Elizabeth 
Pilfold. 

There  is  a  farm  named  Pilfold  Farm  at  Horsham,  from  which  the  family  den* vol 
their  surname.  One  branch  of  the  family  resided  in  the  neighbouring  parish  0/

In  Hearth-tax  Return,  1670,  "  Mr.  John  Higgenbottom,  nine  hearths." 
A  Mr.  Higanbotham  was  parson  of  Plumpton,  Sussex,  in  1612.     (See  "  Roll  of

It  is  not  clear  whether  the  issuer  was  the  one  baptized  in  1642  ;  but  this  seems 
not  improbable,  and  if  so,  he  was,  doubtless,  the  father  of  the  second  and  third

"  Mr."  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  his  wife  both  died  in  17 11.  Our  Thomas  Dunstall

The  Rev.  C  H.  Borrer,  Rector,  sends  the  following  extract  from  the  parish 
registers: 

"  1662,  Buried  Mary,  wife  of  Tames  Mathew  of  Randidles,  March  18." 

Randidles  is  an  old  house  of  flint  and  brick  still  standing. 

Toe  lion  rampant  is  the  arms  of  Pier  Point. 

The  issuer  was  no  doubt  an  early  Quaker,  for  we  find  by  the  MS.  "  Book  of 
Sufferings,  Records  Society  of  Friends,  S.E.  District"  (p.  48) :  "A  meeting  was  held 
on  March  28,  1662,  at  Hurstprpoint,  at  which  Ambrose  Rigge,  Nicholas  Beard, 
Henry  Scrase,  Richard  Scrase,  Richard  Webb,  James  Mathew,  Ambrose  Gallo-

Walter  Burr  ell  and  other  magistrates,  "  at  the  instigation  of  Leonard  Letch  ford, 
the  hireling  priest  of  Hurstprpoint,  who  stirred  up  the  said  Rulers  to  persecute  the 
Innocent,"  being  committed  to  Horsham  Gaol.  Letchford  gave  evidence 
against  them,  and  all  were  convicted  except  Rigge.  Elwes  and  Robinson, 
"  Castles,  Mansions  and  Manors  of  Western  Sussex,"  p.  226,  give  a  pedigree  of 
Matthew  of  Stansted,  with  which  the  issuer  might  have  been  connected.

Peter  Pemel  was  constable  of  Lewes  in  1635  and  1647. 

In  Col.  John  White's  "First  Centurie  of  Scandalous  and  Lewd  Ministers" 
(printed  by  order  of  the  House  of  Commons  in  1643),  we  find,  No.  67  : 

"  The  Benefice  of  Anthony  Hugget,  Parson  of  the  Parish  Church  of  the  Cliffe 
[now  part  of  the  Borough  of  Lewes],  in  the  county  of  Sussex,  is  seqnestred,  for 
that  he  ...  .  put  one  Peter  Pennell,  whom  he  had  7  yeers  before  admitted  to  the 
comunion,  from  the  Sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper,  because  he  would  not  come 
among  the  Boyes  to  be  catechized  ;  and  likewise  refused  to  deliver  the  Sacrament 
to  William  Pennell,  because  he  was  lame  and  could  not  kneel  to  receive  it."

The  initials  •«  M.  A.  c  "  evidently  stand  for  Michael  and  Anne  Cadman,  and  U 
would  seem,  therefore,  that  Michael  (the  issuer)  died  before  February  17,  1686, 
and  that  it  was  his  widow,  Anne,  who  married  William  Parke.    The  other  entries

The  parish  register  of  Preston  (near  Brighton)  contains  amongst  the  marriages 
performed  by  Anthony  Shirley,  Esq.,  one  of  the^ustkesier  the  county,  the  follow- 
ing entry : 

"  1656,  June  19,  John  Groomes,  of  Steyning,  and  Elizabeth  Whitington,  of 
Beeding,  had  ye  purpose  of  mariage  published  3  several  market  dayes,  viz.,  ye  21

The  late  Rer.  Arthur  Eden,  M.A.  (Vicar),  kindly  searched  his  parish  register,

"Mary,  dr.  of  Mr.  Richard  Birchett  and  Lidia,  Bapt.  Sep.  19,  1669." 

He  mentions  that  few  names  are  dignified  with  the  title  M  Mr."  at  that  date,  and 
farther  that  a  part  of  the  parish  is  named  Birchet's  Green. 

The  initials  R.  L.  B.  on  the  token  are  thus  verified  as  those  of  "  Richard  and  Lydia

The  tokens  of  the  Principality  form  a  small  but  interesting  series 
— more  than  half  of  those  issued  in  North  Wales  being  pennies, 
although  no  larger  generally  than  ordinary  halfpenny  or  farthing 
tokens  ;  while  those  of  South  Wales  are  all  halfpennies  and  farthings. 
The  large  number  of  penny  tokens  in  North  Wales  and  its  border 
counties  of  Chester  and  Salop  is  remarkable,  for  among  them  there 
are  more  than  in  the  whole  of  the  other  counties. 

The  earliest  date  is  1660,  and  none  appear  to  have  been  issued 
after  1670. 

The  only  town  pieces  were  issued  at  Beaumaris  and  Brecon. 

The  former  edition  described  fifty-one  tokens,  to  which  the  present 
list  adds  forty-one  :  total  ninety-two. 

The  arrangement  of  the  towns  in  alphabetical  order,  irrespective  of 
counties,  as  in  first  edition,  has  been  followed,  as  the  most  con- 
venient for  reference.

In  former  edition  of  this  work  Mr.  Boyne  stated  that  this  was  one  of  the  towns 
in  vSnel ling's  list  that  issued  tokens ;  but  as  a  specimen  had  not  come  under  his 
notice,  he  was  unable  to  describe  the  token. 

The  above  token  is  now  in  the  writer's  possession,  and  Mr.  Cbas.  Goulding,  its

The  goat  or  buck  on  the  obverse  of  this  token  is  a  part  of  the  Leatherselle- 
Arms,  viz.,  three  bucks  trippant  regardant. 

The  Shaws  were  among  the  most  celebrated  of  the  Denbigh  glovers  of  th ■•  >r 
times. 

One  of  this  ancient  and   respectable  family  went  by  the  name  of  "  Lands* 
Shaw"  from  the  fact  that  in  1665  he  set  out  for  the  Metropolis  as  a  plague  doctor, 
carrying  with  him  a  cartload  of  wormwood  as  an  antidote  for  the  pestilence,  by 
which  he  rendered  himself  the  laughing  stock  of  the  town  ever  afterwards. 
His  skinnery  occupied  the  site  of  the  present  residence  of  Dr.  Lloyd  William v 
He  seems  to  have  been  of  a  rather  covetous  disposition,  from  the  following 
record  of  the  Council  in  1671  :  "  That  Thos.  Shaw,  the  elder,  glover,  be  sum  ore •: 
to  appre  here  next  meeting  day,  etc.,  to  shew  cause  why  he  erected  a  new  btul  :r^ 
over  agt  his  house  in  Hen  Han -street,  to  ye  annoyance  of  ye  publick.     And  :  ■ 
appear  also  to  produce  such  writings  as  he  pretends  to  have  for  the  erecting  of  h> 
new  house  upon  the  com'ons."     However,  we  find  him  expiating  for  such  <- 
croachments  upon  public  rights  by  bequeathing  at  his  death  a  meadow  call.- 
J.avaria,  in  the  outskirts  of  the  town,  to  the  poor  of  Denbigh  for  ever. — William-  - 
"  Ancient  and  Modern  Denbigh." 

In  the  "  Records  of  Denbigh  and  its  Lordship  "  it  is  stated  that  at  the  elec\  > 
of  Aldermen,  1651,  January  9,  Thomas  Shaw,  tanner,  vice  Sir  William  Myd.:"i 
ton,  deceased,  was  elected.  Also  in  the  same,  that  on  a  monumental  tabic'  :' 
Whitchurch  it  is  stated  that  Thomas  Shaw,  gentleman,  who  died  in  17 1 7.  *-• 
for  many  years  Recorder  of  the  lordship  and  town  of  Denbigh.  This  «.- 
probably  a  son  of  Thorns*  Shaw  the  tanner  and  glover.

JR.    PRESTEEN  .  COVNTY  .  RADNOR  =  HIS  HALF  PENY.  § 

The  Gronnous  or  Gronous  families  were  numerous  here  and  in  the  neighbouring 
town  of  Kington,  where  two  members  of  the  family  issued  tokens  (see  Hereford- 
shire list).  The  name,  although  it  continued  in  the  above  form  until  the  beginning 
of  the  present  century,  seems  to  have  passed  into  the  more  euphonious  one  of 
Greenhouse. 

It  would  appear  the  family  originally  belonged  to  Radnorshire,  some  members 
migrating  into  the  adjoining  county  of  Hereford,  this  Joseph  probably  for  one,  as 
his  name  does  not  occur  after  1673  in  the  Presteign  registers,  while  in  the  registers 
of  Kington  (see  under  Kington  in  the  Herefordshire  list)  the  name  appears  Erst  in 
1676,  and  ends  with  his  death  1686. 

The  following  entries  are  from  the  Presteign  registers  : 

1646.  Mathew,  the  sonne  of  Richard  Gronouse,  gent.,  by  Anne  his  wife,  was

baptized  the  19th  of  Aprill. 

1657.  Edward,  the  sonne  of  Richard  Gronuse,  gent.,  by  Anne  his  wife,  was 
baptized  the  third  day  of  July.

November,  in  Templo.

Kington  issuers.)

In  first  edition  this  token  was  assigned  to  Ponhelly,  Cornwall,  but  the  absence 
o(  other  penny  tokens  in  that  county,  and  their  abundance  in  Wales,  together  with 
the  name  of  issuer  being  a  decidedly  Welsh  one,  and  the  native  pronunciation  of 
the  place  precisely  as  spelt  on  the  token,  the  balance  of  evidence  is  believed  to  be 
in  favour  of  Wales.

John  Sayes  was  Bailiff  of  Tenby  in  1649,  and  Mayor  in  1657. 

"  Sayse,  a  surname  in  Tenby  in  1405,  signifies  the  Sassenach,  a  sobriquet  given 
to  many  Anglicised  Celtic  Welsh  by  their  countrymen,  and  afterwards  converted 
into  a  surname,  which  has  been  modernized  into  Seix  in  Ireland,  where  seme  oi 
this  name  were  falconers  to  the  Earls  of  Kildare,  and  others  gentlemen  in  the 
household  service  of  the  Earls  of  Ormond.  The  sex  of  the  mason  appears  to  tc 
the  modern  type  of  the  short  sots,  or  short  sword,  whence  the  Saxons  are  said  to 
derive  their  designation."— Ex  "Arch.  Camb.,"  New  Series,  Part  XIV.

The  "Montgomeryshire  Collections,"  vol.  xiii.,  for  1880,  contain  an  interest.!^ 
account  of  Richard  Davies,  the  probable  issuer  of  this  token. 

"  He  was  known  as  '  the  Welshpool  Quaker,'  a  man  of  remarkable  simplicity  <<f 
character,  yet  of  no  mean  ability.  He  was  born  in  Welshpool  in  1635,  and  le:t 
behind  him  a  remarkable  autobiography,  entitled  "  An  Account  of  the  Convince 
ment,  Exercises,  Services,  and  Travels  of  that  Ancient  Servant  of  the  Lore, 
Richard  Davies."  He  commences  thus  :  "  I  was  born  in  the  year  1635  in  the  io«n 
of  Welshpool,  Montgomeryshire,  in  North  Wales,  of  honest  parents  that  had  a 
small  estate  there."  He  was  brought  up  in  the  "religion  and  discipline  of  the 
Church  of  England,"  but  early  in  his  career  he  followed  the  Independent  people, 
"  especially  one  Vavasor  Powell,  who  was  a  very  zealous  man  in  his  day." 

Richard  Davies  was  bound  apprentice  10  Evan  Jones,  a  feltmaker,  in  the  parish 
of  Llanfair.  In  1657  he  came  into  contact  with  Morgan  Evan,  a  Quaker,  of  ><  l'J 
Wales,  and  the  "  consideration  of  his  words  took  fast  hold  of  him,"  and  he  becan  < 
a  Quaker,  the  first  in  this  part  of  Wales.  After  settling  to  his  trade  as  a  fti. 
maker  in  1659,  he  married.  In  1660  he  was  had  before  the  first  justices  that  wtrc 
made  in  those  parts  by  the  authority  of  King  Charles  II.,  and  was  interrogated  '  < 
them  and  the  priest  about  "his  new  way  and  strange  religion."  He  was  in, 
prisoned  for  two  weeks,  and  many  of  his  fellow-prisoners  were  "  convinced  "  by  h> 
ministrations,  and  afterwards  became  Quakers. 

Many  of  his  followers  were  imprisoned  and  suffered  great  hardships,  but  Paii^ 
himself  seems  to  have  escaped  further  punishment,  and  eventually,  through  r  .• 
influence  with  Lord  Herbert  of  Cherbury,  the  severity  of  their  treatment  *:• 
gradually  relaxed. 

Richard  Davies  was    buried    in    the    Quakers'  Burial    Ground,  at  Clod<. ; 
Cochion,  near  his  former  place  of  abode.

By  the  revision  of  this  county  the  total  number  of  tokens  has  been 
increased  from  144  in  the  original  edition  of  this  work  to  191.  Two 
tokens  are  now  omitted,  viz.,  that  of  Nathaniel  Sweet,  Austrey ;  and 
one  of  Kineton,  John  Whitroe's,  both  having  been  assigned  to 
Devonshire.  Three  additional  places  which  issued  tokens  in  the 
seventeenth  century  have  to  be  added,  viz.,  Griff,  Lapworth,  and 
Tysoe.  For  the  interesting  notes  on  the  Birmingham  families  we 
have  been  indebted  to  the  very  great  kindness  of  Mr.  Joseph  Hill,  of 
that  town.  The  Vicar  of  Tamworth  (the  Rev.  W.  Macgregor)  and 
the  Rector  of  Rugby  (the  Rev.  J.  Murray)  also  very  kindly  searched 
their  respective  registers,  and  sent  us  the  results.

WARWICKSHIRE.  1203 

26.  A  variety  dated  1666,  and  reads  halfe  peny.  £ 
John  Brington,  or  Brine  ton,  was  the  son  of  Guy  Brineton,  and  was  born  1619. 

It  is  probable  that  he  was  identical  with  John  Brewerton,  who  had  a  shop  in  Corn 
Cheaping. 

27.  O.    WILLIAM  .  BVRBERRY  =  HIS    HALFE   PENY. 

R.  in  .  brvmingham  =  A  Catherine  wheel.  J 

This  name  occurs  still  in  Birmingham  as  the  name  of  a  street  in  the  outskirts. 

28.  O.  William  .  colmore  =  Bust  with  three-quarter  face. 

R.    IN  .  BIRMINGHAM  =  HIS    HALF   PENY.  \ 

The  family  of  Colmore  is  one  of  the  most  ancient  and  honourable  in  the  town. 
Mr.  Hill  says  of  it,  "  The  family  for  length  of  connections,  acquirement  of  wealth, 
and  landed  property  surpasses  all  others."  An  isolated  mention  of  the  name 
occurs  at  Aston  in  1337. 

In  1469  Richard  Colmore,  and  his  wife  Joan,  and  Robert  Colmore  were  members 
of  the  Guild  of  St.  Anne  of  Knoll,  but  it  was  not  until  the  end  of  the  fifteenth 
century  that  the  family  settled  in  Birmingham,  and  at  first  farmed  the  Tenter 
Fields,  and  afterwards  as  mercers  in  the  Bull  Ring  acquired  considerable  wealth. 
The  family  marriage  connections  with  the  Smallbrokes,  Harmans  (Veseys),  Porters, 
and  Willoughb/s,  anJ  the  purchase  of  lands  (when  the  dissolved  religious  houses 
rendered  its  acquirement  on  a  large  scale  an  easy  matter),  gave  the  Col  mores  a  high 
position  in  the  Midlands. 

The  issuer  of  the  token  was  probably  William  Colmore,  a  colonel  in  Crom- 
well's army  (mentioned  in  Dugdale's  "Diary")  or  his  son  William,  who  was 
amercer. 

An  earlier  William  is  recorded  as  having  given  £25  in  aid  of  Elizabeth's  fund 
to  raise  an  army  and  fleet  against  the  invasion  of  the  Spanish  Armada. 

The  name  is  commemorated  in  Birmingham  by  Colmore  Row,  Great  Colmore 
Street,  and  Little  Colmore  Street.

30.  Another  similar,  dated  1660.  £ 

Elward  Ensor  settled  in  Birmingham  about  1614,  and  had  a  large  family,  and 
it  is  a  common  name  now  in  the  town.  The  issuer  of  the  token  was  a  mercer, 
and  lived  in  Moor  Street,  near  the  Roebuck  Inn. 

31.  O.  edward  .  ensor  .  i66o  =  The  Grocers'  Arms. 

R.    IN  .  BIRMINGHAM  .  «&«&&  =  HIS    HALF    PENY.  £ 

32.  O.  george  .  fentham  =  The  Haberdashers'  Arms. 

R.    IN  .  BIRMINGHAM  =  HIS   HALF  PENY.  £ 

This  name  does  not  occur  earlier  than  1630,  and  George,  the  son  of  Christopher 
Fentham,  who  issued  the  token,  was  a  mercer  in  one  of  the  ancient  houses  in  a 
short  alley  off  the  Bull  Ring,  his  back  yard  abutting  into  the  parish  church. 

George  Fentham  is  worthy  of  special  mention  for  his  benefactions  to  Hampton 
in  Arden,  and  Birmingham.  In  1 690  he  liberally  endowed  charities  to  benefit  the 
poor  of  those  places  with  land  at  Birchfield  and  Erdington. 

33.  O.    EDWARD  .  FREEMAN  =  HIS    HALF   PENY. 

R.  in  .  Birmingham  =  The  Grocers'  Arras.  £ 

A  family  of  this  name  existed  in  the  town  for  a  century  before  the  probable  issue 
of  the  token  by  Edward  Freeman,  who  was  born  about  1610  ;  he  held  from  1640 
until  the  time  of  his  death,  about  1670,  several  important  posts.  There  is  a  Free- 
man Street  in  Birmingham.

Rather  a  numerous  family,  dating  from  Queen's  Elizabeth's  time.  Richard 
Leather,  born  16 12,  was  the  probable  issuer  of  the  token.  In  1691  his  son, 
probably,  was  constable  of  Birmingham.

Westmorland 

The  number  of  tokens  pertaining  to  this  county  is  very  small,  and 
they  consist  of  halfpennies  and  farthings,  and  range  from  1656 
(No.  12)  to  1669  (Nos.  3,  4  and  16).  The  literature  touching  upon 
them  is  somewhat  large,  when  we  compare  the  very  limited  issue  of 
pieces.     The  principal  are : 

"  The  Tradesmen's  Tokens  (of  the  seventeenth  century)  of  Cum- 
berland and  Westmorland,"  by  William  Henry  Brockett,  Gateshead- 
upon-Tyne,  1853.  Reprinted  from  an  article  in  the  Gateshead 
Observer  of  March  5,  1853. 

"  The  Ancient  Commerce  of  Westmerland."  Reprinted  from  the 
Gentlemarts  Magazine  for  May,  1853. 

"  The  Tradesmen's  Tokens  issued  during  the  Seventeenth  Century 
in  Appleby,  in  the  County  of  Westmorland,"  by  T.  Fisher,  Kendal, 

**  The  Tradesmen's  Tokens  issued  during  the  Seventeenth  Century 
in  Kirkby  Stephen,  in  the  County  of  Westmorland,"  by  T.  Fisher, 
Kendal,  1855. 

There  are  also  articles  in  the  Gentleman's  Magazine  for  March, 
1 793,  in  Nicholson's  "  Annals  of  Kendal,"  and  in  the  Kendal 
Mercury  for  December  14,  1861,  and  March  28,  1863.

The  loan  of  the  woodcuts  was  most  kindly  promised  by  the  late 
Mr.  Cornelius  Nicholson,  F.S.A.,  at  the  time  that  this  work  was 
commenced,  and  we  are  now  indebted  to  Miss  Cornelia  Nicholson, 
the  daughter  of  the  deceased  antiquary  and  author,  for  the  fulfilment 
of  the  promise.  We  are  very  grateful  to  Miss  Nicholson  for  kindly 
assistance,  so  valuable,  and  to  Mr.  Bell  for  his  interesting  and 
important  notes.

was  a  supporter  of  Richard  Tufton  in  the  Parliamentary  election  of  February, 
1678-9.— Machell  MSS.,  i.,  p.  223. 

The  name  of  the  Rev.  Edward  Guy  (instituted  Vicar  of  St.  Lawrence's,  Applebv, 
1636)  appears  in  the  list  of  Mayors  of  the  borough  for  the  years  1627,  1631,  1634. 
1635  and  1650.— Saver's  "  History  of  Westmorland,"  ii.,  appendix,  p.  lviii.  He 
was  probably  the  father  of  the  issuer.

J?.    IN  .  APPLEBYE  .   1669  =  W  •  S. 


This  token  has  hitherto  been  attributed  to  Appleby,  a  village  in  Leicestershire 
but  there  is  little  doubt  that  it  belongs  to  the  county  town  of  Westmorland.  A 
specimen  struck  in  brass  was  found  in  1863,  on  taking  down  some  old  building 
on  the  south  side  of  Allhallows*  Lane,  Kendal. — See  Kendal  Jfcmtn, 
March  28,  1 863. 

The  issuer  was  a  mercer  and  held  property  in  the  Borough  Gate  (Mach^ 
MSS.,  i.t  p.  213),  where  he  probably  had  his  residence.  He,  like  Guy,  was  1 
supporter  of  Richard  Tufton  («/  supra,  p.  223),  and  his  name  appears  in  the  !.-• 
of  Mayors  of  the  borough  in  the  years  1067  and  1673. — Saver's  M  History  . 
Westmorland,"  vol.  ii.,  appendix,  p.  lix. 

There  is  an  engraving  of  this  token  in  the  Gentlemaris  Magazine  for  Mard 
1792  (p.  209).

jR.    IN  .  KENDALL  .  PARISH  .  1669  =  HIS    HALF   PENY. 


Richard  Rowlandson  was  a  fellmonger  and  woolstapler ;  he  lived  on  his  < 
estate  at  Lambert  Ash,  Grayrigg,  where  he  carried  on  his  business,  as  well  a 
Kendal,  Kirkby-Stephen,  and  Kirkby-Lonsdale. 

To  the  above  he  seems  to  have  combined  that  of  stationer,  as  appears  from  tb 
following  entry  in  the  accounts  of  the  churchwardens  of  Kendal : 

"  1665.  Paid  Mr.  Richard  Rowlandson  for  a  booke  of  Homilies  00  06  oa"  - 
"Transactions  of  Cumberland  and  Westmorland  Antiquarian  Society,"  n 
p.  27a 

It  is  stated  that  he  walked  to  London  and  back,  on  business,  three  times,  ir 
that  he  was  there  in  the  time  of  the  Great  Plague  in  1665. 

There  is  an  entry  in  the  parish  register  of  burials,  July  18,  1735,  °f  Rid*** 
Rowlandson,  at  Grayrigg,  supposed  to  have  been  the  issuer  of  this  token  :  if  *o,  he 
lived  to  a  great  age,  which  he  is  said  to  have  done. 

One  Richard  Rowlandson  was  Town  Clerk  of  Kendal  in  1683. — Nicobon  u

KENDAL. 

mercers  .  company  .  in  .  kendal  =  The  Mercers'  Arms. 
k  .  k  .  1657  =  Arms  of  the  Corporation  of  Kendal.  \ 


The  arms  are  those  adopted  by  the  Corporation  of  Kendal  when  the  charter  of 
Charles  I.  was  obtained,  as  they  are  not  registered ;  they  are  quarterly,  first  and 
fourth,  three  spindles,  second  and  third,  three  woolhooks— the  bearings  being  in- 
dicative of  the  staple  trade  of  the  town.  The  same  arms  are  engraved  on  a  silver 
tankard  and  a  sword,  belonging  to  the  Corporation,  with  the  motto  "  Pannus 
mini  panis  "  (Cloth  is  my  bread). 

The  letters  K.  K.  probably  stand  for  the  initials  of  Kirk  by- Kendal,  and 
are  engraved  on  the  silver  seal  which  has  been  in  use  in  the  Corporation 
kince  the  first  charter  of  Elizabeth  in  1576,  the  date  of  which  it  bears.  In 
Snelling  it  is  engraved  without  the  K.  k.  above  the  shield — probably  a 
variety. 

The  original  dies,  much  worn,  were  found  in  1803  among  the  ruins  of  the  New 
Biggin,  where  the  Cordwainers  had  their  hall,  and  are  now  preserved  in  the 
museum  at  Kendal.— Gateshead  Observer,  March  5,  1853. 

6.  O.  company  .  of  .  shearmen  =  A  pair  of  cropper's  shears. 
R.  in  .  kendall  .  1 666  =  A  teasel-brush.  i 


7.  A  variety  struck  in  lead,  having  a  star  of  five  points  on  the 
reverse  on  either  side  of  the  teasel-brush. 

These  implements  of  the  cloth  manufacture  are  now  almost  entirely  disused, 
the  great  improvement  in  machinery,  which  does  the  work  better  and  cheaper. 
having  superseded  them.  The  large  shears  were  used  by  the  croppers  to  cut  all 
the  king  hairs  off  the  cloth  ;  and  unless  great  care  and  precision  were  used,  there 
was  danger  of  cutting  the  cloth,  so  that  none  but  experienced  workmen  were  em- 
ployed, and  they  earned  great  wages.  During  the  Luddite  riots,  in  the  West 
Riding  of  Yorkshire,  in  1812,  many  of  these  artisans  were  implicated,  some  of 
them  having  been  thrown  out  of  employment  by  the  improvements  in  manufacture, 
and  many  by  their  intemperate  habits.  The  long  hairs  are  now  removed  by  a 
spiral  steel  blade  fixed  on  a  revolving  cylinder,  which  gives  a  fine,  even  nap  to  the 
cloth.  The  band  teasel-brush  was  used  for  brushing  the  cloth,  one  being  held  in 
each  hand ;  this  is  now  done  by  machinery,  the  teasels  being  placed  in  a  long, 
narrow  iron  frame,  worked  by  steam  power. 

There  were  formerly  twelve  free  companies  in  Kendal,  which  gradually  became 
extinct,  the  last  of  them,  the  Cordwainers,  being  broken  up  in  1800,  in  consequence 
of  Robert  Moser,  one  of  the  craft,  refusing  to  recognise  any  legal  power  in  the

company  to  impose  a  fine  upon  persons,  not  being  freemen,  commencing  business 
within  the  borough.  Monopoly  was  obliged  to  succumb  to  Moser,  and  the  charter 
was  declared  to  be  powerless. 

8.  O.  edmond  .  adlington  =  The  Dyers'  Arms. 

R.    IN  .  KENDAL  .  1659  =  E  .  I  .  A.  \ 


One  Edward  Adlington  was  sworn  a  shearman-dyer  in  1649  (Kendal  "  Boke  of 
Record e  ").  The  family  came  originally  from  Yealand,  in  Lancashire,  and  carried 
on  business  there  and  at  Kendal.  They  were  Quakers,  and  tradition  says  that 
Edmund  was  a  man  of  immense  bulk,  weighing  upwards  of  twenty-four  stone, 
and  that  his  wife  was  of  little  inferior  weight,  being  upwards  of  twenty-two  stone. 
He  retired  from  business,  and  died  at  a  great  age. 

Nicolson  and  Burn's  "  History  of  Westmorland,"  i.,  p.  536,  on  the  authority  of 
Francis  Higginson,  Vicar  of  Kirkby-Stephen  in  the  time  of  Cromwell,  states : 

"  Some  of  the  Quakers  stood  naked  on  the  market  cross  on  market  days, 
preaching  to  the  people,  particularly  the  wife  of  one  Edmond  Adlington,  who 
went  naked  through  the  streets  there." 

This  is  corroborated  by  Mrs.  Greer,  who,  in  "  The  Society  of  Friends,"  voL  iu, 
p.  189,  says, 

"  The  wife  of  Edmund  Adlington,  of  Kendal,  went  through  the  streets  naked 
on  the  2 1st  of  November,  1653  ;  and  Mary  Collinson,  another  Quaker  lady  in  the 
same  town,  rebuked  those  who  covered  her,  by  telling  them  they  had  hindered  the 
work  of  the  Lord." 

The  Dyers  seem  to  have  been  associated  corporately  in  Kendal  with  the  Shear- 
men, the  full  title  of  the  ancient  Free  Company  being  that  of  "  Shearmen-Dyers, 
Fullers  and  Websters."  The  Shearman -dyers  are  mentioned  in  a  poetical  s 
of  a  guild  procession  in  Kendal  in  1759,  the  last  that  took  place. 

The  compliment  paid  to  the  Kendal  industry  is  as  follows  : 

"  The  English  Wool  by  Shearmen-dyers  wrought 
Equals  the  finest  silk  from  India  brought." 


9.  O.  iames  .  cocke  .  ivnior  =  A  cock  to  left. 

R.    OF.  KENDALL.  1667  =  HIS  HALFE  PENNY. 


James  Cocke  was  sworn  a  member  of  the  Mercers'  Company  in  1655  (Kendal 
11  Boke  of  Recorde  "),  and  a  burgess  in  1659.  He  was  Mayor  of  Kendal  in  16S1  2, 
and  died  in  1694. 

His  residence  was  in  The  Park,  and  his  family  owned  property  in  the  Butchers' 
Row. 

The  British  Museum  possesses  a  specimen  restruck  upon  a  Yorkshire  token  of 
Bradford  (No.  37,  q.v.).

The  names  of  John  Hadwen  and  John  Hadwen  jun.  (doubtless  father  and

1704  to  177a 

The  issuer  was  sworn  a  member  of  the  Mercers'  Company  in  1656  (Kendal 
M  Boke  of  Recorde"),  and  had  his  residence  in  Finkle  Street,  Kendal,  as  appears 
from  the  following  entry  in  the  accounts  of  the  churchwardens,  1658  :

O.  Oliver  .  plat  .  of  =  Three  Maltese  crosses. 
R.  kirkby  .  kendall  =  1 659  between  six  stars. 


Oliver  Plat  was  a  gentleman  of  considerable  property  in  Kendal,  and  lived  on 
his  own  estate  at  Summer  How  in  Skelstnergh.  He  owned  the  property  in 
Kendal  known  as  the  Rainbow  Inn.  He  was  a  Roman  Catholic.  The  parish 
register  records  his  burial,  March  18,  1686,  in  the  ninety-sixth  year  of  his  age. 

One  Oliver  Plat,  probably  son  of  the  above,  appears  in  Cousin's  "List  of 
Recusants. " 

12.  O.  thom  .  sandes  .  of  =  A  teasel  and  wool-hoot 
R.  kendal  .  1656  =  A  woolcomb. 


He  was  Mayor  of  Kendal  in  1647-8.  He  made  a  fortune  as  a  dealer  in  Kendal 
cottons,  which,  being  dyed  green,  obtained  for  the  cloth  the  famous  names  of 
Kendal  Green  and  Kendalls  (7  Jas.  L,  c  xvi.). 

The  following  entries  in  the  churchwardens'  accounts  show  the  estimation  in 
which  the  colour  of  the  staple  commodity  was  held  by  the  townsfolk : 

••  1676.  The  Communion  table  was  covered  with  green  and  a  hanging  at  the 
back  also  was  green." 

•4  1676.  Paid  to  Mr.  James  Simpson  (by  order  of  the  Vicar  and  Churchwardens)

was  needful,  viz1  all  greene,  the  sum  of  02  00  00. " — "Transactions  of  Cumber- 
land and  Westmorland  Antiquarian  Society,"  vol.  ix.,  p.  276. 
Of  Kendal,  Drunken  Barnaby  sings  : 

"  Veni  Kendall,  ubi  status  "  Thence  to  Kendall,  pure  her  state  is, 
Prastans,  prudens  Magistratus,  Prudent  too  her  Magistrate  is, 

Publicis  festis  purpuratus,  In  whose  charter  to  them  granted 

Ab  Elizabetha  datus ;  Nothing  but  a  Mayor  wanted  ; 

Hlc  me  juvat  habitare,  Here  it  likes  me  to  bee  dwelling, 

Propinare  et  amare."  Bousing,  loving,  stories  telling.* 

Also: 

"  Nunc  ad  Kendall,  propter  Pannum,  "  Now  to  Kendall,  for  cloth-making, 
Coetum,  situm,  Aldermannum,  Sight,  site,  Alderman  awaking, 

Virgines  pulchras,  pias  matres,  Beauteous  damsels,  modest  mothers, 

Et  viginti  quatuor  fratres,  And  her  foure-and-twenty  brothers, 

Vere  clarum  et  beatum,  Ever  in  her  honour  spreading, 

Mihi  nactum,  notum,  natum."  Where  I  had  my  native  breeding." 

The  fame  of  Kendal  manufactures  is  immortalized  by  other  and  more  important 
writers.     Thus  Drayton : 

"  Where  Kendal  town  doth  stand 
For  making  of  our  cloth  scarce  matched  in  all  the  land." 

Shakspeare  refers  to  "Three  mis-begotten  knaves  in  Kendal  Green" 
("  1  Henry  IV.,"  ii.,  4) ;  and  Camden,  in  his  ••  Britannia,"  eulogizes  the  quality  of 
cloth  manufactured  in  the  town. 

The  issuer  resided  in  the  front  house  of  the  Elephant  Yard  (now  the  Elephant  Inn), 
and  his  two  coining  presses  and  other  instruments  were  found  in  making  alterations 
in  the  premises.  By  deed  dated  September  6,  1670,  he  founded  Sandes'  Hospital, 
in  Kendal,  endowing  it  with  considerable  property  for  the  maintenance  of  eight 
poor  widows,  three  to  be  chosen  out  of  Strickland  Gate,  three  out  of  Stramongate 
and  Highgate,  one  out  of  Strickland  Roger  and  one  out  of  Skelsmergh  and  Paton 
("  Machell  MSS.,"  ii.,  p.  471),  and  for  the  support  of  a  school  for  poor  children, 
until  they  should  be  fitted  for  the  free  school  or  elsewhere.  He  bequeathed  to  the 
hospital  a  collection  of  books,  chiefly  of  the  early  Fathers  of  the  Church  ;  these 
he  so  highly  prized  that  he  ordered  that  they  should  be  kept  in  the  *•  great  room," 
and  that  a  certain  quantity  of  fuel  should  be  regularly  brought  from  the  property 
he  bequeathed  to  the  hospital,  and  that  the  schoolmaster  should,  in  addition,  ev 
pend  "at  last  twelve-pence  in  peats  every  quarter  of  a  year,"  for  the  better  keep- 
ing and  preservation  of  the  books.  And  he  further  ordered  that  men  of  quality 
and  learning  should  have  free  access  to  them.  The  books  originally,  and  for  a 
long  time  afterwards,  were  fastened  to  the  shelves  by  chains  just  long  enough  to 
allow  the  reader  to  reach  them  down  to  the  table.  He  died  August  22,  1681, 
aged  seventy- five. 

A  handsome  marble  monument  was  erected  to  his  memory  in  Kendal  Church, 
and  bears  the  following  eulogistic  inscription  : 

Heus  Peripatetice  ! 
Siste,  disce,  et  (si  pcssis)  imitare. 
En  pulchrum  tibi  virtutis,  specimen

It  was  originally  placed  against  a  pillar  at  the  west  end  of  the  aldermen's  pew, 
bat  was  moved  in  1852  to  a  more  appropriate  site  at  the  west  end  of  the  south 
aisle. 

One  Thomas  Sands,  probably  the  issuer,  was  sworn  a  member  of  the  Armourers' 
Company  in  1641  (Kendal  "  Boke  of  Recorde  ").

Kirkland  adjoins  the  town  of  Kendal,  and  now  forms  part  of  both  the  Parlia- 
mentary and  municipal  borough,  and  being  without  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Mayor, 
was  formerly  much  resorted  to  by  tradesmen  not  free  of  the  Corporation. 

Only  one  specimen  is  at  present  known  of  this  token,  which  is  in  the  Bodleian 
Library,  Oxford,  and  bequeathed  to  it  by  Brown  Willis,  the  antiquary,  in  1760.— 
Nicolson  and  Burn's  "  History  of  Cumberland  and  Westmorland,"  L,  p.  73. 

A  variety  with  the  arms  of  Kendal,  as  shown  on  that  of  the  Mercers'  piece,  was 
found  in  Kendal  in  1844.— Gateshead  Observer,  March  5,  1853. 

Drunken  Barnaby,  whose  lines  on  Kendal  we  quote  above,  sings  of  Kirkland  : 


1  Nunc  ad  Kirkland,  et  de  eo, 
•  Prope  Templo  procul  Deo* 
Dici  potest,  spectant  Templum, 
Sacerdotis  et  exemplum, 
Audient  tamen  citius  sonum 
Tibiae  quam  concionem." 


"  Now  to  Kirkland,  truly  by  it 
May  that  say  be  verified, 
•  Far  from  God  but  neare  the  Temple ;' 
Though  their  pastor  give  exemple, 
They  are  such  a  kind  of  vermin, 
Pipe  they'd  rather  heare  than  s

The  tokens  of  this  county  are  mainly  of  ordinary  character.  They 
are  all  halfpence  and  farthings,  there  being  no  pennies  amongst  the 
series.  They  commence  early,  one  of  them,  issued  by  John  Gage,  of 
Bradford,  bearing  the  date  1649 ;  and  they  continue  to  1671,  almost 
the  last  year  in  which  such  tokens  were  permitted  to  circulate. 

To  the  places  of  issue  named  in  the  first  edition  we  are  enabled  to 
add  the  names  of  Barford,  Bratton,  Hilmarton,  Heytesbury,  Marsh- 
field,  Road,  and  Shurston-Magna. 

Several  tokens  attributed  by  Boyne  to  Wilton  have  been  transferred 
to  Wilton  in  Norfolk,  the  parish  registers  of  that  place  having  proved 
that  the  former  attribution  was  incorrect 

The  number  of  tokens  issued  at  Salisbury  is  unusually  large  for 
one  place,  and  gives  information  as  to  the  commercial  importance  of 
the  city  in  the  seventeenth  century. 

Much  assistance  in  the  compilation  of  notes  has  been  rendered  by 
an  examination  of  the  large  collection  of  tokens  in  the  Devizes 
Museum,  the  property  of  the  Wiltshire  Archaeological  Society.  This 
examination  was  kindly  undertaken  by  F.  M.  Willis,  Esq.,  of  Steeple 
Ashton,  Wilts,  and  for  his  correction  from  the  specimens  the  Editor 
is  very  grateful.  Mr.  F.  Goldney,  of  Chippenham,  and  Mr.  H.  S.  Gill, 
have  rendered  much  assistance  also,  but  to  Mr.  W.  Cunnington,  F.G.S., 
the  Editor  is  mainly  indebted,  and  to  his  energetic  and  patient 
investigation  the  main  value  of  this  list  of  Wiltshire  tokens  is 
obtained.  Much  of  Mr.  Cunnington's  labour  of  love  has  been 
pursued  while  his  health  has  been  far  from  good,  and  even  while 
suffering  from  a  painful  inflammation  in  his  eyes,  and  a  very  full 
expression  of  gratitude  is  accorded  to  him  for  courtesy  and  considera- 
tion of  a  rare  order  and  generous  type.

WILTSHIRE.  1331 

BRADFORD-ON-AVON. 

Several  towns  in  England  having  the  same  name,  it  is  difficult  to  apportion  the 
tokens  bearing  that  name.  Under  the  name  of  Bradford  there  are  tokens  in 
Yorkshire,  Wilts,  and  Somerset.  By  searching  parish  registers,  and  by  other  kinds 
of  inquiry,  Mr.  Boyne  had  done  his  best  to  distinguish  them.  To  Bradford  in 
Yorkshire  he  assigns  the  following  :  Wm.  Bancks  ;  John  Cooke,  1666 ;  John  Cook 
and  Josiah  Farrand ;  John  Durham,  1667  ;  Wm.  Hopkinson ;  Thos.  Ibbotson  ; 
John  Preston,  1666  ;  Jacob  Selbee,  1665.  To  Bradford  (near  Taunton),  co. 
Somerset,  Will.  Serle,  1659.  Those  in  the  text  to  Bradford,  Wilts,  now  called 
Bradford-on-Avon. 

It  will  be  seen  by  reference  to  Wilts  Archaological  Magazine*  vol  v.,  p.  50,  that 
some  of  the  tokens  there  considered  to  belong  to  Bradford  in  Wilts  are  among  those 
assigned  by  Mr.  Boyne  to  Bradford  in  Yorkshire. 

12.  O.  william  .  baily  .  mercer  =  The  Mercers'  Arms. 

R.  in  .  Bradford  .  1668  =  A  nag's  head,     w  .  b.  large  \ 

William  Baily,  of  Bradford,  erected  a  monument  in  Bradford  Church  in  1695, 
which  still  remains.  He  died  March,  1712,  and  was  described  in  the  register  as 
a  mercer.     His  monument  bears  his  crest,  a  nag's  head,  and  the  Mercers'  arms. 

13.  O.  wilham  .  baily  .  merc  =  The  Mercers'  Arms.

The  device  on  obverse  is  the  merchant's  mark  of  the  issuer  of  the  token,  not 
the  co*t-of-anns  of  the  Methuen  family. 

This  issuer  was  an  ancestor  of  Lord  Methuen.

R.  IN  .  CALNE=I  .  A  .  F. 
The  pipes  on  this  and  other  tokens  are  of  the  kind  called  by  the  vulgar  "  fairy 
pipes,"  which  were  made  at  the  commencement  of  the  seventeenth  century.  They 
are  frequently  found  in  ploughed  fields,  whither  they  have  been  carried  in  mamut- 
They  are  generally  without  stems,  but  when  perfect  are  about  eight  inches  long, 
thicker  in  the  stem  than  modern  pipes,  with  small  heads  almost  egg-shaped.  Id 
some  districts  they  are  found  with  the  maker's  initials  at  the  bottom  of  the  head. 
By  some  they  are  believed  to  have  been  made  long  prior  to  the  reign  of  Elizabeth, 
during  whose  reign  tobacco  was  first  introduced  ;  there  are  certainly  reasons  for 
supposing  that  the  custom  of  smoking  is  more  ancient  than  the  introduction  of 
tobacco.  When  half  of  the  great  tower  of  Kirkstall  Abbey,  co.  York,  fell 
down  in  1779,  a  number  of  these  "fairy  pipes"  were  found  imbedded  in  the 
mortar,  and  it  is  known  that  the  most  modern  part  of  the  tower  was  built  in  the 
reign  of  Henry  VII. ;  and  after  the  abbey  was  dismantled  at  the  Rerbnnatioc, 
there  was  no  access  to  the  upper  part  of  the  tower.  Several  were  lately  found  at 
Newcastle  in  the  castle  midden  on  removing  the  houses  built  on  that  ancient 
accumulation.  These  pipes  are  called  in  Ireland  "  Danes*  pipes."  One  was  fow*J 
in  a  Danish  cairn  in  1855.    (See  Ulster  Journal  of  Archaology%  iii.,  p.  320.)

CHIPPENHAM. 

We  learn  from  the  "  Records  of  Chippenham,"  by  Fred.  Hastings  Goldney,  Esq., 
Mayor  of  the  borough  1889,  that  the  names  of  the  issuers  of  all  the  following 
rukens  still  exist  in  Chippenham,  save  that  of  Gage,  which  has  died  out.  Hear- 
man  has  become  Hereman. 

The  following  notes  as  to  some  of  the  issuers  are  extracted  from  the  same  work  : 

44 1654.  John  Steevens  is  paid  £1  5s.  for  six  sugar-loaves  weighinge  l8|  lb.  at 
is.  4d.  per  lb.,  presented  by  the  town  to  Coll.  Popham." 

"John  Steevens,  John  Webb,  and  others  are  paid  £4.  15s.  5d.  for  Gunpowder 
-pent  on  the  day  of  the  corronacon  of  the  King's  Matic,  Ap.  25,  1661."

BaylifTe  and  the  court  that  the  said  John  Shorte  shall  be  debarred,"  etc.

This  man  was  a  bookseller,  and  suffered  very  heavy  losses  in  the  Great  Fire  of 
1653.  He  says :  "  I  have  but  little  left  saved,  not  above  £%  worth  of  all  my 
goods  and  books.  The  children  are  crying  to  go  home,  and  I  tell  them  we  have 
Done  to  go  to.     What  shall  I  do  ?" 

In  1642  the  Royalists  took  Marlborough,  and  fed  a  fire  for  three  hours  with 
Hammond's  stock-in-trade.—  Vide  "  Waylen's  History." 

The  following  issuers,  marked  "  N.B.,    also  lost  heavily  in  the  fire  :

SALISBURY. 

Hatcher,  in  his  '*  History  of  New  Sarum,"  quotes  the  following  interesting  note 
from  the  city  records : 

"  Octr.  30th,  1658.  Mr.  Stone  and  Mr.  Hely,  then  in  London,  requested  to  take 
course  for  stamping  5  pounds  worth  of  farthings  with  the  city  arms  and  such 
inscription  as  they  may  think  fit.1' 

The  die-sinkers  were  probably  confined  to  London  and  a  few  of  the  large 
towns,  and  hence,  perhaps,  the  frequent  errors  and  variations  in  the  spelling  of  local 
names,  mistakes  which  would  not  have  been  made  by  persons  familiar  with  the  people 
and  places,  as,  for  instance,  John  Cragge,  grocer  in  Sarum — John  Gracce,  grocer  in 
Sarum. 

Amongst  the  list  of  the  eighty-six  burgesses  who  voted  in  1656  for  the  return  of 
two  members  of  Parliament  are  found  the  names  of  the  following  issuers  : 
Thomas  Cutler,  jun.  (171),  George  Godfrey  (184),  Henry  Gilbert,  William  Gapen, 
Edward  Fankoner  (176),  Nicholas  Haskoll  (195),  William  Joyce  (199),  Christopher 
Legg  (200),  Edward  Mason  (206),  Simon  Rolfe  (222). 

Hatcher  also  mentions,  in  reference  to  the  rising  of  Royalists  in  the  West  of 
England  in  1654,  that  Edmund  Mack  (203)  was  an  apothecary  in  Salisbury,  one  of 
the  seven  who  pleaded  guilty  of  raising  war  against  the  Government,  and  was 
probably  pardoned.

Ir  is  with  infinite  regret  that  the  Editor  has  to  record  the  death  of 
one  of  the  most  energetic  helpers  and  generous  of  men  whom  it  has 
ever  been  his  good  fortune  to  know. 

Mr.  W.  A.  Cotton,  of  Bromsgrove,  to  whom  the  Editor  is  indebted 
for  almost  all  of  the  notes  and  the  preface  to  the  tokens  of  Worcester- 
shire, died  in  June,  1889,  at  the  very  early  age  of  37,  before  he  was 
able  to  rejoice  in  the  completion  of  his  labours.  Few  men  have  been 
of  greater  service  to  their  native  town  than  Mr.  Cotton,  and  almost 
every  public  work  owed  much  to  his  self-sacrificing  energy.  As 
the  historian  of  the  locality,  and  as  the  author  of  the  important  work 
on  the  "  Coins,  Tokens,  and  Medals  of  Worcestershire, "  his  aid  in 
the  compilation  of  the  following  pages  was  of  the  highest  importance, 
and  his  stores  of  knowledge  were  always  most  generously  placed  at 
the  disposal  of  the  Editor  whenever  required. 

Mr.  Cotton's  abilities  as  a  token  and  coin  collector  were  of  a 
marked  order.  He  was  scrupulously  exact  in  details,  and  punctilious 
in  descriptions,  and  he  possessed  a  merit  that  immediately  com- 
mended him  to  the  Editor,  in  that  he  always  answered  letters. 

The  blocks  that  illustrate  the  county,  and  the  very  fine  folding- 
plate  of  coins  and  tokens,  were  lent  by  him  to  the  Editor,  and  all  he 
knew  and  all  he  possessed  was,  in  his  own  warm-hearted  way,  placed 
at  the  service  of  the  book.  No  tribute  can  be  paid  to  his  memory 
that  is  too  warm,  and  with  deep  regret  the  Editor  deplores  the  loss  of 
a  dear  and  valued  correspondent,  helper,  and  friend. 

The  four  plates  of  the  tokens  that  follow  this  part  are  very  kindly 
presented  by  Mr.  John  Cotton,  architect,  of  Birmingham,  "in 
memoriam  "  of  his  brother. 

The  workmanship  of  the  Worcestershire  tokens  is,  as  stated  by 
Mr.  W.  A-  Cotton  in  the  book  above  referred  to,  creditable, 
generally,  to  the  period,  and  will  compare  favourably  with  some  of 
the  productions  of  later  date.  They  afford  much  curious  informa- 
tion, especially  as  to  trades  carried  on  in  the  various  towns,  and  the 
jnsettled  state  of  English  orthography,  as  instanced  by  the  variety  of 
rays  in  which  the  same  word  is  spelt.  Many  of  them  are  ingenious 
n  their  style,  some  being  of  brass  with  a  plug  of  copper  in  the 
:entre,  others  square,  octagonal,  and  heart-shaped ;  but  by  far  the 
arger  number  are  round.  Those  issued  in  the  county  now  under 
KHice  furnish  one  or  more  of  all  these  varieties.  They  are  all  half- 
pennies and  farthings — no  pennies   being   issued,  and   about   two-

thirds  of  the  entire  number  are  farthings.  They  frequently  bear 
heraldic  devices  on  the  obverse  side,  usually  indicating  the  trade  or 
business  in  which  the  issuer  was  engaged,  or  else  the  arms  of  the 
town  where  he  lived.  A  few  of  the  issuers  bore  arms,  which  appear 
on  their  tokens.  In  the  case  of  the  "  town-pieces  "  issued  by  "  The 
Wardens  of  BcwdUy"  the  bvrrow  of  evesham,  and  the  City  of 
Worcester,  the  arms  of  the  respective  places  appear.  Stourbridge 
also  issued  an  interesting  "townp'ece,"  bearing  the  Ironworkers' 
Arms  on  the  obverse,  and  the  Clothworkers,  Arms  on  the  reverse, 
thus  showing  the  principal  trades  carried  on  in  the  town  at  that  time. 
In  the  centre  part  of  the  reverse  of  the  tokens  the  trader's  initials  with 
that  of  his  wife  very  frequently  occur,  as  in  the  case  of  Walter  Palmer, 
of  Bewdley,  wa»  who  married  Anne  Clare,  the  initial  of  the  surname 
being  uppermost.  Only  one  trader — William  Chetle,  of  Worcester- 
issued  a  token  bearing  a  merchant's-mark. 

"  Every  community,  tradesman,  or  tradeswoman,  that  issud  this 
useful  kind  of  specie,  was  obliged  to  take  it  again  when  it  was 
brought  to  them,  and  therefore  in  cities  and  larger  towns,  where  many 
sorts  of  them  were  current,  a  tradesman  kept  a  sorting  box^  into  the 
partitions  of  which  (which  we  may  suppose  were  nearly  as  many  as 
there  were  people  there  that  coin'd)  he  put  the  money  of  the 
respective  coiners,  and  at  proper  times,  when  he  had  a  competent 
quantity  of  any  one  person's  money,  he  sent  it  to  him  and  got  it 
changed  into  silver.  One  of  these  sorting-boxes  I  once  saw  in  the 
city  of  Rochester,  in  Kent,  with  ten  or  a  dozen  partitions  in  it"* 

The  writer  has  one  of  these  boxes,  with  twelve  compartments, 
believed  to  have  been  used  for  this  purpose  by  Henry  JerTerys,  a 
grocer  in  Bromsgrove  at  that  period.  In  London  the  changing  & 
these  tokens  became  a  business,  and  there  are  examples  of  token* 
issued  by  those  who  styled  themselves  "  farthing  changers." 

Some  of  the  tokens  bear  a  remarkable  resemblance  to  each  other, 
leading  to  the  belief  that  many  of  the  dies  were  engraved  by  the 
same  person.  An  illustration  of  this  is  found  in  the  ornamentation 
partaking  of  the  same  character — a  device  something  like  the  Wafc 
and  Ormond  knot,  from  the  ends  of  which  flowers  appear — to  ' 
found  on  the  tokens  of  Porter,  Rogers,  and  Timothy  JerTerys,  all 
Bromsgrove ;  and  on  those  of  Fransham,  of  Evesham,  and  Willi 
Finch,  of  Worcester. 

These  tokens  "  or'ginated  with  a  public  necessity,  but  in  the 
became  a  nuisance."      They  partook  largely  of  the  nature  of 
advertisements,  and,  as  they  were  payable  only  at  the  shop  at  wird 
they  were  issued,  they  were  inconvenient. 

With  reference  to  the  "  dipt  "  money,  various  sums  were  collects 
throughout  the  county,  and  in  the  accounts  of  the  parish  of  Bromsgrov 
we  find  that  on  "  April  5th,  1700,  Granted  on  Houses  to  make  god 
the  Clip'd  Money,  ^47  £s."  A  like  entry,  on  May  2,  1 702,  into 
us  that  the  sum  raised  for  this  purpose  amounted  to  ^73  16s.

WORCESTERSHIRE. 


1255 


Boyne  (first  edition)  describes  112  varieties  of  tokens  issued  in 
Worcestershire  in  the  seventeenth  century,  which  are  included  in 
the  present  list,  additions  being  marked.  Green  gives  engrav- 
ings of  thirty-six  tokens  issued  in  Worcester,  and  Nash  of  thirty- 
six  issued  in  the  city  and  county.  The  collection  in  the 
possession  of  the  Corporation  of  Worcester  has  been  examined, 
and  private  friends  and  collectors  have  afforded  much  valuable 
information. 

In  Green's  "  Worcester,"*  allusion  is  made  to  a  coin  of  lead  "  now 
m  the  library  at  Oxford  ;  it  appears  by  the  inscription  to  have  been 
designed  for  a  halfpenny :  from  its  rarity  there  is  great  reason  to 
believe  very  few  were  struck;  the  industrious  Mr.  Snelling  having 
taken  no  notice  thereof."  Dr.  Nash  and  Green  each  give  an  engrav- 
ing of  this  token,  but  as  both  these — especially  that  of  Green — are  in- 
correct, I  have  pleasure  in  presenting  my  readers  with  what  I  believe 
to  be  a  facsimile  of  the  original  in  the  Bodleian  Library,  engraved 
from  a  plaster  cast  obtained  through  the  kindness  of  F.  Madan,  Esq., 
sub-librarian.  This  token,  marked  No.  91,  under  the  head  of  English 
medals,  is  in  a  good  state  of  preservation,  and  believed  to  be  unique. 
It  came  to  the  library  in  the  Browne- Willis  collection,  between  1739 
and  1 760,  and  was  given  to  that  gentleman  by  Mrs.  Bridget  Price,  of 
Gloucester.     It  was  probably  struck  at  Worcester.

1256   TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

From  the  date  on  the  token  we  gather  that  it  was  not  struck  till  the 
year  of  the  accession  of  Charles  II.  to  the  throne  of  England.  The 
oak-tree,  with  the  crowns  in  its  branches,  has  reference  to  the 
hiding  of  this  King  at  Boscobel,  after  the  Battle  of  Worcester ; 
whilst  the  phrase,  "  war  brings  peace,"  denotes  that  the  troublous 
times,  in  which  the  city  of  Worcester  played  such  an  important  part, 
had  passed,  and  that  the  country  was  then  in  a  state  of  quietude. 
Who  the  issuer  of  this  unique  and  interesting  piece  was  it  is 
impossible  to  surmise,  but  it  is  clear  that  he  was  one  of  the  many 
loyal  subjects  who  viewed  with  pleasure  and  satisfaction  the  restora- 
tion of  the  King  to  the  throne. 

It  has  occurred  to  me,  however,  says  Mr.  Cotton,  that  it  might 
possibly  have  been  issued  by  some  of  the  Carliss  or  Carless 
family,  of  whom  the  famous  and  loyal  Colonel  William  Carless 
was  a  member.  After  the  Battle  of  Worcester,  the  Colonel,  with 
the  King  and  numerous  of  his  followers,  passed  out  of  the  city,  the 
King  making  good  his  escape  to  Boscobel,  where  he  was  subsequently 
joined  by  Colonel  Carless.  In  the  belief  that  the  rebels  would  search 
the  premises,  the  King  and  the  Colonel  decided  to  spend  the  day  in 
a  "  thick-leaved  "  oak-tree  which  stood  at  no  great  distance  from  the 
house.  Here,  securely  screened  from  view,  the  King,  tired  and 
weary,  rested  his  head  on  the  knees  of  the  Colonel,  and  fell  into 
a  deep  sleep.  From  Boscobel  Charles  made  his  escape  to  Moseley. 
and  afterwards  to  the  Continent,  where  his  trusty  friend  the  Colonel 
subsequently  joined  him  again.  It  is  stated  that  the  name  was 
changed  to  Carlos  at  the  request  of  the  King,  and  that  on  May  21, 
1658,  the  following  arms,  crest,  etc.,  bearing  a  striking  resemblance  to 
the  ornamentation  adopted  on  this  token,  were  granted  to  him :  Or, 
on  a  mount  in  base  vert,  an  oak-tree  proper,  over  all  on  a  fess  gules 
three  regal  crowns  of  the  field.  Crest :  A  sword  argent,  hilt  and 
pommel  or,  and  a  sceptre  of  the  last  in  saltire,  enfiled  with  an 
oaken  civic  crown  vert  Motto :  "  Subditus  fidelis  Regis,  et  salus 
Regni." 

Colonel  Carlos  was  born  at  Bromhall,  in  Staffordshire,  about  two 
miles  from  Boscobel,  and  is  said  to  have  been  descended  from 
an  ancient  Shropshire  family.  He  was  buried  at  Brewood,  and  h 
nearly  the  whole  of  his  property  to  Edward  Carlos,  then  of  Worcest 
apothecary,  and  his  issue.  Grazebrook  (p.  102)  says,  "  What  relat* 
ship,  if  any,  existed  between  them  does  not  appear,  but  there 
an  Anthony  Carless  who  was  Warden  of  the  Clothworkers'  Con 
pany  at  Worcester,  in  1665,  who  may  have  been  the  father 
Edward.  .  .  .  Walter  Carless,  of  Worcester,  but  afterwards  of  Powicl 
apothecary,  evidently  one  of  the  family,  died  in  1843,  aged  &| 
and  has  a  monument  at  Powick,  whereon  are  represented  th 
Carlos  arms." 

It  is  possible  that  this  lead  piece  was  struck  as  a  pattern  halfpenn 
token  by  one  of  the  members  of  the  Carless  or  Carlos  family,  som 
of  whom  were  trading  in  Worcester  in  the  seventeenth  century  at  til

time  when  this  token  was  struck  (1661),  and  when  tokens  were  being 
issued  in  the  city  in  considerable  numbers.  Nothing  is  more  natural 
than  that  the  principal  charges  contained  in  the  arms  and  crest 
so  recently,  and  under  such  peculiar  circumstances,  granted  to  a 
member  of  the  family,  should  appear  on  any  token  they  thought

1258    TRADERS*  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 


ALVECHURCH. 

Only  one  token  is  known  to  have  been  issued  here,  and  it  is  the  only  one  in  the 
county  struck  by  a  woman.  It  was  described  by  Boyne,  but  was  evidently  a  poor 
specimen.  I  have  never  been  able  to  meet  with  this  token,  and  conclude  it  is  very 
rare.

The  registers  of  the  parish  have  been  searched  for  about  one  hundred  years,  with 
the  following  unsatisfactory  result : 

"  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  John  Baldwin,  baptized  4th  of  August,  1652." 
"  1693.  Buried  Ann,  wife  of  Joseph  Baldwin."

Edward  Pitt  way  appears  to  have  been  one  of  the  leading  Quakers  of  the 
district,  and  a  man  of  good  position,  having  been  Mayor  of  Evtsham  in  164$. 
When  George  Fox,  in  1055,  obtained  information  that  the  magistrates  of  Evesham 
had  put  several  of  his  followers  in  prison,  he  determined  to  visit  the  town, 
previously  sending  for  Edward  Pitt  way,  to  ascertain  if  the  information  he  bad 
received  was  correct,  and  to  know  if  it  was  true,  as  had  been  reported,  that  the 
magistrates  of  the  town  had  ordered  a  pair  of  high  stocks  to  be  erected  on  tbc 
occasion  of  his  proposed  visit.  Pittway  informed  him  that  the  rumour  wa* 
quite  correct,  and  at  night  both  set  out  for  the  town,  and  in  the  evening  there  was 
"  a  large  and  precious  meeting  "  of  Friends.  The  followers  of  Fox  had  become 
objects  of  rancorous  persecution  by  the  magistrates  of  Evesham,  and  formal 
representation  was  made  to  Cromwell  concerning  their  conduct.  Twelve  of  ibc 
persons  whose  names  had  been  attached  to  the  document  were  fined  in  sums  vary- 
ing from  £2  to  ^20,  the  amount  last  mentioned  being  laid  on  Pittway. 

The  following  entry  occurs  in  one  of  the  books  of  the  Evesham  Corporation: 

"  5th  Octr,  1055.  This  day  Edward  Pitway,  the  capital  burgess,  was  removed 
therefrom  ;  being  indicted  at  the  sessions  for  publishing  a  scandalous  paper  against 
the  magistrates ;  for  abusing  Mr.  Robert  Martin  ;  for  his  rude  behaviour  in  court ; 
and  for  his  evil  behaviour  towards  Mr.  Recorder." 

A  short  time  after  this  several  of  the  most  prominent  Quakers  of  the  district  were 
imprisoned,  and  others  persecuted  ;  but  their  numbers  rapidly  augmented.  They 
met  at  Pittway's  house,  afterwards  the  Red  Lion  Inn—from  which  our  token  was 
issued — and  subsequently  the  North  wick  Arms.  By  the  year  1675  l^e  Quakers  bad 
obtained  a  distinct  burial-place  at  Bengeworth,  behind  the  dwelling-house  of 
Pittway,  which,  says  May,  in  his  "  History  of  Evesham,"  remains  the  property  of 
the  Society,  though  at  present  cultivated  as  a  garden.  This  piece  of  land,  by 
feoffment  dated  July  16,  1675,  was»  *n  consideration  of  £$,  conveyed  by  Edward 
Pittway,  of  Bengeworth— and  again,  by  feoffment  of  March  19,  1678,  by  Stephen 
Pittway — unto  trustees  (being  Quakers),  their  heirs  and  assigns, "  for  such  purpose* 
only  as  between  the  parties  and  other  persons  concerned  were  formerly  agreed 
upon,  and  no  otherwise."  The  property  is  described  as  a  small  piece  of  garden 
ground  in  Berigewor^i,  adjoining  '*  the  Parsonage  Close,"  and  behind  the  dwelling- 
house  of  the  said  Edward  Pittway.  with  way  or  passage  through  the  yard  gates  oa 
the  south  side  of  the  said  dwelling-house. 

An  engraving  of  this  token  appears  in  Tindal's  "  History  and  Antiquities  of  tke 
Abbey  and  Borough  of  Evesham  "  (plate  v.,  p.  142),  reading  on  the

There  was  probably  a  considerable  number  of  tokens  issued  by  Pittway,  as  they 
are  comparatively  common  ;  I  have  several  in  my  own  collection. 


BEWDLEY. 


The  tokens  of  Bewdley  are,  perhaps,  the  most  interesting  of  any  town  in  the 
county,  presenting  a  variety  of  shapes  unknown  in  other  places,  and  including 
town-piece,  the  above  illustration,  bearing  the  arms  of  the  borough,  representing 
the  reverse  side  of  the  same.  Bewdley  church  is  a  chapel- of-ease  to  the  mother 
church  of  Ribbesford.

This  token  is  octagonal  in  shape.  Boyne,  in  the  letter-press  of  his  work,  gives 
the  inscription  on  the  obverse  of  the  token  with  a  small  "  h  "  in  the  word  "  halfe," 
but  in  his  illustration  of  this  town-piece  it  is  correctly  represented  with  a  capital 
44  H."  An  engraving  of  the  token  appears  in  Nash,  and  in  Snelling 
(plate  i.,  No.  7).  The  arms  of  Bewdley,  as  given  in  Grazebrook's  "  Heraldry  of 
Worcestershire  "  (vol.  i.,  p.  50),  are,  **  Argent,  an  anchor  in  pale  azure,  the  ring  or, 
the  anchor  surmounted  with  a  fetterlock  of  the  second  ;  within  the  fetterlock,  on 
the  dexter  side  of  the  anchor,  a  sword  erect  of  the  last,  pommel  and  hilt  or  ;  on 
the  sinister  side  of  the  anchor  tal»o  within  the  fetterlock)  a  ruse  gules.*'  (Burke's 
44  Armory,"  and  "Town  Seal.")  Na>»h  (vol.  ii.,  p.  284),  quoting  Habingdon, 
describes  the  arms  as  depicted  in  the  church,  "  Argent,  an  anchor  azure  through  a 
tun  or,  on  the  dexter  point  a  sword  in  chief  of  the  second  hilled  of  the  third,  on 
the  sinister  a  rose  gules  with  a  branch  slipped  vert."  The  same  coat  was  found  by 
Sjrmonds,  ••  depicted  on  the  wall "  of  Bewdley  church.  (See  his  Diary,  published 
by  the  Camden  Society. )  On  the  town  seal  the  principal  charge  is  a  fetterlock, 
not  a  tun  ;  but  in  some  old  examples  of  the  coat  the  base  of  the  fetterlock  is  fashioned 
somewhat  like  a  tun  or  barrel.  In  "The  Visitation  of  the  County  of  Worcester," 
in  1682*83,  the  arms  are  given  as  **  an  anchor  in  pale  surmounted  by  a  fetterlock, 
within  the  fetterlock  on  the  dexter  side  of  the  anchor  a  sword  erect ;  on  the 
sinister  side  of  the  anchor  a  rose."

On  three  specimens  in  my  collection  the  reading  is  as  No.  5,  and   it   is  not

Thomas  Dedicot  was  bailiff  of  Bewdley  in  1661.  In  1667  a  William  Dedicot 
succeeded  Edward  Longmore  (who  "died  in  his  office"),  being  again  bailiff  in 
1680.     In  the  Ribbesford  registers  is  an  entry  of  the  baptism  :

Dr.  Brewer,  in  his  u  Dictionary  of  Phrase  and  Fable,"  describes  round  dealing  as 
"  honest  straightforward  dealing,  without  branching  off  into  underhand  tricks,  or 
deviating  from  the  straight  path  into  the  byeways  of  finesse,"  an  idea  here  in- 
tended to  be  conveyed  by  square  dealing.

of  Parliament  in  the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  under  a  penalty  of  3s.  41L  They 
were  worn  by  all  classes,  until  the  present  French  hat  was  introduced  about  1685. 
The  Act  required  "  that  all  above  the  age  of  six  years,  except  some  of  a  certain 
state  and  condition,  shall  wear  upon  the  Sabbath  or  holy  days,  upon  their  beads,

II     O.   WALTER  .  PALMER  .  OF  =  A  hat 

11.    BEWDLEY  .  CAPPER  .   1656  =  W  .  A  .  P  £ 

One  of  the  most  eminent  cappers  of  Bewdley  was  Walter  Palmer,  who  lived  in 
the  High  Street,  in  the  house  now  belonging  (1883)  to  Mr.  Marcy.  His  daughter 
Sarah  was  married  at  Ribbesford,  August  23,  1688,  to  Israel  Wilkes,  grandfather  of 
the  notorious  John  Wilkes,  member  for  Middlesex,  and  editor  of  the  North  Briton. 
Another  daughter  married  Dr.  James  Douglas,  Physician  to  Queen.  Caroline, 
and  bis  son  George  married  Anne  Johnson  in  1687,  and  was  grandfather  of 
Mrs.  Skey,  wife  of  Jonathan  Skey.  Fuller  ("  Worthies,"  p.  49)  says  this  occu- 
pation ("capper  ")  set  no  less  than  fifteen  callings  to  work.  Machinery  was  for- 
bidden, and  the  trade  protected  bylaw.  In  22nd  Edward  IV.  a  penalty  of  40s.  was 
inflicted  upon  anyone  setting  up  a  fulling-mill.  A  mill  would  thicken  and  full 
more  caps  in  a  day  than  four  score  men,  and  it  was  considered  inconvenient  to  turn 
so  many  labouring  men  to  idleness.  In  the  3rd  Henry  VIII.  it  was  enacted  that  no 
caps  or  hats  ready  wrought  should  be  brought  from  beyond  seas.  In  13th  Elizabeth 
caps  were  to  be  worn  by  all  persons  (some  of  worship  and  quality  excepted)  on 
Sabbath  and  holy  days,  under  penalty  of  ten  groats.  This  was  repealed  in 
39th  Elizabeth.  By  an  act  of  the  common  council  of  London  in  1665  all  caps  were 
to  be  brought  to  Black  well  Hall,  except  Monmouth  and  Bewdley  caps.  The  French 
Protestant  refugees  brought  into  England  the  use  of  hats,  and  the  new  fashion 
caused  the  decline  of  the  Bewdley  manufactures.  In  the  time  of  Charles  II.,  Mr. 
Tarrington  says :  "  Cap-making  in  Bewdley  is  grown  so  low,  that  great  part  of 
the  ancient  cap-makers  in  that  town  are  wholly  decayed,  and  the  rest  at  this 
present  day  are  in  a  very  low  condition." — Burton  s  "  History  of  Bewdley  "  (8vo., 
1883,  PP-  I2  and  13).  Mr.  Burton  further  says  the  trade  appears  to  have  after- 
wards revived,  and  to  have  lingered  on  till  the  beginning  of  the  present  century. 
The  "  Worcestershire  Guide"  for  1797  enumerates  amongst  the  callings  exercised 
here,  u  Dutch  and  sailors'  caps,  which  are  much  prized  for  excellent  napping.'* 
Capmaking  is  now  a  thing  of  the  past. 

The  connection  of  John  Wilkes,  a  member  of  Parliament,  and  editor  of  the 
North  Briton  newspaper,  with  this  family,  will  be  seen  from  the  pedigree  follow- 
ing. He  was  prosecuted  for  his  independent  attack  against  the  abuses  of  the 
Government.  In  1768  he  was  returned  for  Middlesex,  but  declared  by  the 
Commons  to  be  disqualified  from  taking  his  seat ;  though  he  was  four  times  re- 
turned as  member  for  the  county,  the  rival  candidate,  Colonel  Luttrell,  with  only 
a  fourth  of  the  votes,  was  declared  to  be  the  sitting  member,  and  took  his  seat  in 
the  Commons  in  his  stead.  The  agitation  arising  out  of  these  things  led  to  the 
publication  of  the  splendid  letters  of  "  Junius,"  the  author  of  which  has  never  been 
discovered  ;  as  well  as  the  dibut  of  the  celebrated  Charles  James  Fox,  in  defence 
of  the  liberties  of  the  people.

1262    TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

It  seems  probable  that  the  Wilkes  family  originally  came  from  Bewdley. 
There  are  still  some  people  of  that  name  at  Button  Oak,  in  Dowles  parish.  The 
following  extracts  from  the  Ribbesford  registers  should  be  of  interest : 

Baptism.  1593.  Oct.  14,  Katheren,  the  daughter  of  John  Wilkes. 

Marriage.   1615.  Oct  12,  Arthyr  Palmer  and  Elizabeth  Shelly  at  Dowles. 
„  1680.  Aug.  26,  Walter  Palmer  and  Anne  Pooley.     Licence. 

„  1688.  Aug.  23,  Israeli  Wilks  and  Sarah  Palmer.    Licence. 

In  the  Bewdley  Chapel  and  Bridgewardens'  Accounts  we  find  entries  referring 
to  Mr.  John  Wilkes,  who  was  chapelwarden  in  1643,  and  a  mercer  in  the  town : 

1600. — P*1  to  John  Wilkes  the  12  of  May  1600  by  Mr.  Cowpur  appoyntment  for 
the  hier  of  a  horse  to  Lichfield  about  the  survaur  of  the  schole  house. 

1630.-— Receipts  for  Seates  in  the  chappell  of  John  Wilkes  mercer  00  03  oo. 

The  gateway  on  the  old  bridge  was  pulled  down  when  the  bridge  was  removed. 
It  **  was  under  an  arch  in  a  timber-house  of  two  stories  which  stood  on  one  of  the 
piers  of  the  bridge  ;  on  one  side  of  the  house  was  a  dwelling  for  the  gatekeeper, 
and  on  the  other  a  prison  !  *  It  is  said  there  was  an  ancient  chapel  at  the  foot  of 
the  bridge,  which  was  dedicated  to  St.  Ann,  and  the  old  inhabitants  inform  me 
that  the  place  thereabout  was  in  former  years  called  •  St.  Ann's  Corner.'  The  in- 
tention in  erecting  these  chapels  on  or  near  bridges  was  that  travellers  should 
return  thanks  in  them  and  pray  for  safe  journeys.  The  custom  is  of  very  high 
antiquity."*

is  another  variety  in  which  this  does  not  appear  I  am  unable  to  say.

ticing twenty  poor  boys.  The  hart  forms  no  part  of  the  arms  or  crest  of  the

BROMSGROVE. 

Boyne  describes  only  five  tokens  as  being  issued  here ;  I  am  therefore  enabled 
to  add  five  unpublished  varieties  of  this  town,  making  a  total  of  ten.  The  name 
of  the  town  is  variously  spelt  Brovmsgrove,  Bromesgrove,  and  Broomsgrove.  It  is 
supposed  by  many  that   Bromsgrove  was  formerly  known  as  Boarsgrove,  and 


Burcot  as  Boar  scot,  but  there  appears  to  be  no  evidence  in  support  of  the  supposi- 
tion ;  at  all  events,  the  tokens  of  the  seventeenth  century  do  not  in  any  way 
favour  the  idea.  The  device  adopted  on  the  seals  of  the  various  town  authorities 
is  a  boar,  similar  to  the  above  woodcut.

During  the  restoration  of  Beoley  Church,  near  Redditch,  on  taking  up  the  belfry 
Boor,  among  other  coins  found  was  one  of  Josiah  Dingley's  tokens. 

The  Dingleys  or  Dineleys  are  an  old.  Worcestershire  family,  and  in  reference  to 
the  name  '•  Oddingley,"  a  village  in  Worcestershire,  the  following  ancient  couplet 
relates  to  a  traditional  fight  between  two  Saxon  giants,  Odd  and  Dingley,  as  to 
the  name  of  the  place,  in  which  Odd,  getting  the  worst  of  the  encounter,  shouted : 
••  O  Dingley  !  Dingley  !  spare  my  breath, 
It  shall  be  called  Oddingley  Heath." 

John  and  Luke,  two  sons  of  Josiah  Dingley,  were  buried  in  1686,  the  former  on 
January  6,  and  the  latter  on  June  11.  A  Joseph  Dingley,  probably  a  brother  to 
Josiah,  was  living  in  the  town  at  that  time.

This  well-struck  and  interesting  token  is  of  brass,  with  a  plug  of  copper  in  the

1650.  January  16,  Marryed  Mr.  Henry  Jefferies  and  Miss  Mary  Woodcock. 

1652.  September  I,  Bapt :  Elizabeth  y6  daughter  of  Henry  Jeffereys.

He  probably  combined  the  business  of  mercer  with  that  of  grocer.  The 
daughter,  Sara,  born  on  April  21,  died  exactly  three  months  after,  on  July  21,  and 
the  child  next  born  being  a  daughter  was  also  christened  Sara.

This  token  is  engraved  in  Nash.  It  does  not  appear  from  the  token  what 
occupation  he  followed,  but  from  his  will  and  inventory  of  his  effects  he  was 
evidently  a  mercer,  and,  judging  from  the  amount  of  his  stock-in-trade  and  personal 
estate,  we  may  presume  he  was  in  a  fair  position,  which  surmise  is  borne  out  by 
the  frequency  of  his  signature  in  the  parish  books  about  the  year  1684,  and  by  his 
will,  from  which  we  gather  that  he  was  owner  of  the  property  where  he  carried  00 
the  business,  subject  to  a  mortgage.  He  left  two  children — both  daughters— 
and  all  his  property  passed  to  his  wife,  in  "good  assurance"  that  she  would 
"educate  and  breede  the  children  to  the  "best  of  her  ability."  His  stock-in- 
trade  and  debts  were  valued  at  ,£300,  "  besides  a  certaine  lease  of  houses  "  at 
^250,  and  an  item  of  ^10  for  "  moneyes  forgott."

"When  the  Hop  Pole  Inn,  Bromsgrove,  a  fine  specimen  of  half-timbered  work, 
was  pulled  down  (now  re-erected  as  the  Worcester  City  and  County  Bank),  one

In  the  registers  the  following  entries  occur  referring  to  this  family :

1654.  Sep  The  24  Samuell  son  of  Mr.  Thomas  Porter  Married.

Joseph,  a  son  of  the  said  Thomas  Porter,  was  buried  March  20,  1688.  Over 
he  priests'  entrance,  on  the  outside  wall  of  the  chancel  of  Bromsgrove  church*  is 
a  tablet  to  the  memory  of  this  family  : 

44  Under  these  3  stones,  are  interred  the  Bodies  of  Thomas  Porter,  of  Broms- 
grove, Mercer,  who  died  in  the  year  1673,  being  the  73rd  year  of  his  age.  And  of 
Mary  his  wife,  who  died  November  the  13th  1702,  being  the  86th  year  of  her  age. 
And  of  Samuel  their  Son,  who  died  November  Ist,  1703,  With  several  other  of 
their  children. 

•'  *  Blessed  are  the  dead  which  die  in  the  lord.'     Revelations  14th  Vr  I3th.n 

The  date  of  the  death  of  Thomas  Porter  is  not  stated  on  the  tablet,  but  we  find 
from  the  registers  that  he  was  buried  on  March  16.  Samuel  Porter,  above  re- 
ferred to,  left  the  rentals  of  two  leasehold  estates  at  Stoke  Prior  (the  rents  of  which 
at  the  time  of  his  death  amounted  to  ^56  lis.  2d.),  to  be  "distributed  among 
such  poor  of  the  parish  as  received  no  pay."  The  term  expired  in  1803.  It  was 
probably  this  Samuel  Porter  who  caused  the  above  tablet  to  be  erected. 

In  1690,  Mary  Porter  paid  poll-tax  for  herself  and  five  children— six  shillings.

In  the  parish  registers  we  find  ; 

'*  I^55-  January  The  29th  pub.  yrd  time  in  ye  market  an  intended  marriage 
between  William  Porter  Mercer  and  Frances  Vernon  Daughter  of  Mr  Richard 
Vernon  of  Doderhill  prsh  gent.  &  Marryed  Feb  14  next." 

His  wife  Frances  died  November  I,  1685,  and  a  son  John  in  the  same  year.  A 
Robert  Porter  was  baptized  December  27,  1687,  and  was  buried  January  10  in  the 
year  following. 

M  William  Porter  Senr  &  his  daughter  paid  Poll  tax  in  1690—2  shillings  & 
William  Porter  Junr  and  his  wife  — 2  shillings" 

A  William  Porter,  of  Bromsgrove,  disclaimed  arms  at  the  Visitation  of  the 
Omnty  in  1682-3. 

From  ihe  will  we  gather  that  the  father  (the  issuer  of  the  token)  had  disposed  of 
the  business  to  his  son  William.  He  had  also  parted  with  possession  of  land  and 
personal  effects  to  a  considerable  extent  in  his  lifetime,  thus  accounting  for  the 
small  sum  at  which  his  furniture,  etc.,  was  valued  at  his  decease.  He  leaves 
Willbm  Porter  half-a-crown,  to  buy  him  a  pair  of  gloves ;  he  gives  Joseph 
Porter  and  his  daughter  Frances  each  ••  one  twenty  shilling  piece  of  old  broad 
gold  ;"  the  latter  was  to  receive  in  addition  "  the  lesser  of  the  two  bigger  brass  pots," 
as  he  had  given  with  her  to  John  Johnson  "a  very  competent  marriage  portion  in 
money  and  goods  proportionable  to  the  estate  of  the  same  John  Johnson." 

I  give  below  his  will,  and  the  interesting  inventory  of  his  personal  effects. 
Mention  is  made  of  a  truckle-bedstead  in  the  chamber  over  the  pantry.  This 
truckle  or  trundle-bed  was  a  low  piece  of  furniture,  which  in  earlier  days  was 
rolled  under  a  higher  lied^tead,  the  name  being  of  considerable  antiquity.  The 
rollicking  host  of  the  Garter,  in  the  Merry  Wives  of  Windsor*  in  describing 
FaUtaflTs  room,  says  : 

44  There's  his  chaml>er,  his  house,  his  castle,  his  standing-bed,  and  truckle-bed ': 
*iis  painted  about  with  the  story  of  the  prodigal,  fresh  and  new." 

Bishop  Hall,  in  his  "  Toothless  Satires,"  makes  the  trencher  chaplain 

"lie  upon  the  truckle-bed 
Whiles  his  young  maister  lieth  o'er  his  head."

Butler,  the  Worcestershire  poet,  who  died  in  1680,  thus  alludes  to  the  truckle- 
bedstead  : 

"  When  Hudibras,  whom  thoughts  and  aching 
'Twixt  sleeping  kept,  all  night,  and  waking, 
Began  to  rub  his  drowsy  eyes, 
And  from  his  couch  prepar'd  to  rise, 
Resolving  to  dispatch  the  deed 
He  vow'd  to  do,  with  trusty  speed, 
But  first,  with  knocking  loud,  and  bawling, 
He  rous'd  the  Squire,  in  /ruckle  lolling."*

This  Samuel  Rogers  was  a  Papist,  and  in  1690  paid  poll-tax  for  himself  two 
hillings,  and  for  his  wife  one  shilling,  all  Papists  and  Quakers  being  charged 
krabte  tax.  He  had  a  son  Joseph,  born  in  May,  1654 ;  and  on  November  24, 
1656,  was  *'  bom  James  son  of  Sam.  and  Jane  Rogers."  He  left  no  will,  and  his

No.  3:

DROITWICH. 

The  tokens  of  Droitwich  each  bear  the  arms  of  the  borough,  and  it  is  a  matter 
for  surprise  that  only  three  are  known  to  have  been  issued  in  this  ancient  town.

31.  0.   STEPHEN  .  ALLEN  =  HIS  HALFE  PENY. 

R.  apoth  .  in  .  droytwich  =  Arms  of  the  town  of  Droitwich: 
quarterly,  first  and  fourth,  cheeky  ;  second  and  third, 
two  barrows.  J 

Grazebrook  gives  the  arms  of  the  town  :  "  Argent,  two  lions  passant  in  pale  sur- 
mounting a  sword  of  state  in  pale  point  downwards  ;  impaling,  quarterly  first  and 
fourth,  cheeky  argent  and  sable ;  second  and  third,  gules,  two  barrows  or.  The 
seal  of  the  Statute  Merchant  of  Droitwich  bears  cheeky  argent  and  sable ; 
impaling  the  two  barrows."  Barrows  were  conical  baskets,  into  which  the  salt  was 
put  to  let  the  water  drain  from  it. 

There  were  many  families  of  the  name  of  Allen  living  in  Droitwich  in  the 
seventeenth  century,  and  in  the  registers  of  St.  Andrew's  the  following  entries  are 
to  be  found  relating  to  this  branch  : 

"Bap:  Steephen,  the  sonne  of  Roger  Allen,  was  baptized  the  xxvj  day  of 
December,  1639." 

"Tune  23,  1675.  Stephen,  the  sonne  of  Stephen  Allen,  was  buried." 

The  issuer  of  our  token  was  churchwarden  in  1661,  when  "  Robert  Norbury 
was  minister,"  and  a  John  Allen  carried  on  business  in  the  town  as  a  mercer  at 
that  time.

36.  A  variety  reads  on  obverse  george  .  lenche  .  will  .  Thomp- 
son, and  in  other  respects  as  No.  35. 

As  will  be  seen  from  the  illustration,  the  specimen  in  my  collection  is  not  a  very 
perfect  one,  but  the  variations  on  it  are  very  plain  ;  in  fact,  there  is  good  reason  to 
doubt  if  ever  a  token  was  issued  as  No.  33.  The  lettering  is  very  crowded,  and 
the  die  was  probably  of  an  inferior  character. 

A  careful  search  of  the  registers  of  St.  Andrew's  parish  proves  that  families  of 
Lench  and  Tomson  were  resident  in  Droitwich  during  the  seventeenth  century, 
whilst  no  mention  whatever  can  be  found  of  the  name  of  Oldback.  The  Lenches 
seem  to  have  held  good  positions.  The  issuer  of  our  token  was  churchwarden  in 
1684-85-86,  and  1695;  he  was  also  a  "Burgess  of  the  Corporation. M  In  the 
records  of  the  borough  his  name,  with  those  of  Edward,  Thomas,  and  John 
Lench,  very  frequently  occurs  during  the  years  from  1676  to  1684,  and  Thomas 
Lench  filled  the  office  of  "  Baylifte."  In  the  nave  of  St  Andrew's  Church  is 
a  stone  to  the  memory  of  some  members  of  the  family.  The  registers  afford 
information  as  under : 

41  Dec.  9,  1689.  George  Lench's  man  was  Buryed,  viz.,  Jn°  Sheldon." 

"  Nov.  30,  1694.  Elizabeth,  y*  wife  of  Mr  George  Lench,  was  buryed.** 

"  1703.  George  Lench,  Burgess  of  this  Corporation,  aged  86  (?)  years  and 
II  months,  died  October  y«  28™,  and  was  buryed  the  30th  day  of  y«  said  month." 

He  left  no  will,  and  letters  of  administration  were  granted  to  his  only  son, 
Edward  Lench,  on  November  10  in  the  same  year.  He  was  a  "  chirurgeon,"  and 
in  the  "shopp"  was  "one  table  board  and  six  chairs."  Amongst  other  things 
in  the  brewhouse  was  "  one  cuckinge  pott."  He  held  the  lease  of  two  tenements 
in  the  borough.  A  shilling  was  put  down  for  "  trumpery  and  things  forgotten  and 
unappraised, '  and  xxx«  for  "  two  piggs." 

William  Thomson  was  one  of  the  churchwardens  of  St.  Andrew's  in  the  years 
1665  and  1667. 

"  Bap  :  Richard,  the  sonne  of  William  Tomson,  was  baptised  February  the  27,

£60  he  left  to  his  daughter  Elizabeth.  To  his  other  daughters,  Mary  Baber  and 
Annie  Dixon,  he  left  twenty  shillings  apiece,  "  they  having  had  and  received  their 
portions. "  To  his  son  Joseph  one  shilling,  "  he  having  received  his  portion."  To 
the  son  of  his  son  John,  deceased,  one  shilling.  To  the  children  of  his  late  son

From  a  search  of  the  minute-book  of  the  borough,  the  first  entry  having 
reference  to  these  town-pieces  occurs  during  the  mayoralty  of  Richard  Goddard, 
about  the  year  1666  : 

M  Item.  Pd.  to  the  present  Mayor  £\\  10s.  for  the  advance  upon  the  settinge 
out  of  ffarthings  &  half  pence." 

In  1668  we  tind  an 

"  Item.  Then  pd.  by  the  late  Mayor,  cost  the  present  Mayor,  the  sum  of 
Sixteen  pounds  being  by  him  advanced  in  his  mayoralty  upon  the  settinge  out  of 
flaxthings  &  halfpence  which  he  accounted  as  p(  of  the  aforesaid  £7S" 

This  £7$  refers  to  the  sum  handed  over  by  the  late  Mayor  to  his  successor,  and 
has  no  connection  with  the  tokens.     A  little  later  we  find  it  ordered  :

upon  the  last  settinge  forth  of  halfpence." 

No  mention  of  the  number  or  nominal  value  of  the  tokens  ordered  to  be  issued 
is  to  be  found,  but  that  the  number  struck  was  considerable  is  evident  from  the 
following  entry,  in  December,  1672,  after  which  date  no  reference  is  made  to  these 
town-pieces : 

"  Item.  The  late  Mayor  payd  to  Wm  Lane  the  present  Mayor  the  same  of  One

46.  O.   PHILLIPP  .  BALLORD  =  HIS   HALF  PENNY. 

R.    OF  .  EVESHAM  .  1664  =  P  .  B.  | 

The  Ballard  family  appear  to  have  been  of  very  ancient  date  in  the  neighbour- 
hood of  Evesham.  They  bore  arms  :  Sable  a  griffin  segreant  ermine  beak  and 
fore  legs  or. 

A  Phillip  Hawford,  a/ids  Ballard,  a  young  monk  of  Evesham,  was  in  1539 
created  Abbot  of  Evesham  for  the  sole  purpose  of  surrendering  the  abbey,  which  be 
did  on  November  17  of  the  same  year.*  For  this  act  of  treachery  he  was 
rewarded  with  a  pension  of  ^240  per  annum,  and  afterwards  with  the  Deanery  of 
Worcester. 

In  1660,  "  Phillip  Ballard,  gent.,  was  elected  and  sworne  to  be  one  of  the 
assistants  of  the  said  borough."  His  signature  appears  in  the  borough  note- 
book in  166 1,  and  he  was  elected  Mayor  in  1664. 

A  John  Ballord  was  Mayor  in  1656,  and  Martin  Ballord  in  1676,  thus  showing 
that  the  family  was  one  of  position  and  influence  in  the  seventeenth  century, 
although  we  And  that  a  John  Ballord — with  two  others — was  expelled  from  the 
Common  Council  of  the  borough  for  "  non-subscription,"  on  July  1 1,  1662. 

Martin  Ballord  and  .two  other  gents  were,  paid £9  10s.  for  "  going  to  Windsor, 
and  thence  to  London,  and  thence  to  Windsor,  to  delr  an  address  to  his  Marie." 
.  A  Phillip  Ballord  was  buried  in  All  Saints'  Church,  Evesham,  January  17, 1670, 
aged  38. 

In  the  Universal  Magazine  for  October,  1758,  an  illustration  is 
given  of  a  token,  reading  :

lias  Dame  have  represented  the  borough  in  Parliament.  At  the  visitation  of  the 
xxmty,  in  1682-83,  William  Rudge,  of  Evesham,  disclaimed  all  right  to  bear

Herald's  visitation  of  the  county,  1682-83. 

The  Weavers'  Arms  are  :  On  a  chevron  between  three  leopards'  faces,  as  many 
roses.    The  arms  are  often  represented  by  three  leopards'  faces  without  a  shield. 

The  issuer  of  this  token  carried  on  business  as  a  u  cloathier,"  or,  judging  from 
the  inventory  of  his  effects,  a  manufacturer  of  cloth.  By  his  will,  dated 
November  26,  1691,  he  left  to  his  sons,  Thomas,  John,  and  Joseph,  and  to  his  son- 
in-law,  Richard  Clarke,  "twelve  pense  apiece."  To  his  daughters,  Dorothy 
Manley,  Hannah  Read,  and  Mary  Clarke,  "  twelve  pence  apiece."  To  his  two 
daughters,  Margaret  and  Elizabeth,  the  sum  of  forty  pounds  each.  The  remainder 
of  his  estate  he  left  to  Margarett,  "  my  nowe  deare  and  loveing  wife,"  whom  he 
appoints  sole  executrix  ;  his  brother-in-law,  Thomas  Potter,  and  "  my  loveing  kiss- 
man,  Thomas  Taylor,"  being  named  as  overseers.  From  the  inventory  of  his 
effects  deposited  with  the  will  we  learn  that  amongst  other  things  in  his  parloar, 
such  as  "6  Red  chayers "  and  "one  Red  Couch,"  were  a  warming-pan  and  **  one 
Baken  crotch."  His  books  were  valued  atj£i.  In  the  chamber  over  the  pmriour 
was  "one  Trukell  bedsteed."  In  the  top  lofts  were  "  one  half-headed  bedsteed. 
Two  Racks,  Two  Tubs  and  one  chayer,  Come  and  Mault,  Tubs  and  Lumber, 
Three  Brasse  potts,  two  brass  kettles,  Three  brass  pans  and  one  skelett,  one  Beam 
scales  and  wtts  one  warping  bar  and  scar,  and  some  leather  shreads."  Several 
items  in  the  inventory  refer  to  his  "  Stock-in-Trade  "  :

H.    IN  .  KIDDERMINSTER  =*  HIS    HALF   PENY  .  1670.  £ 

In  August,  1885,  one  of  these  tokens  was  found  at  Arley-Kings  Church. 

Walter  Thatcher's  signature  appears  to  Kidderminster  Bye-laws,  April  11, 1655. 

From  the  registers  we  learn  : 

1672.  April  3,  Bapt.  Sarah,  the  Daughter  of  Walter  Thatcher  &  Sarah. 

1683.  °ct-  23,  Bu  :  Richard,  son  of  Mr.  Walter  Thatcher,  in  woollen. 

Walter  Thatcher  carried  on  business  as  a  "cioathier,"  and  appears  to  have  manu- 
factured doth  for  wholesale  trade,  as  well  as  that  required  for  his  retail  business. 
The  inventory  of  his  effects,  taken  shortly  after  his  death,  was  made  and 
"apprised  "  by  Phillip  Doolittle,  Mary  Doolittle,  James  Hinkes,  and  John  Browne 
on  September  20,  1687. 

In  the  Hall  Chamber  was :  £    s.    d.

The  whole  was  valued  at  JJ189  is.  lod. 

The  clothing  trade  was  carried  on  at  Kidderminster  in  the  thirteenth  century  ; 
and  three  centuries  later,  Worcester,  Bromsgrove,  Droitwich,  Evesham,  and 
Kidderminster  were  the  only  towns  in  the  county  which  were  allowed  to  make 
cloth  for  sale.  Weaving  of  stuffs  and  linsey-woolseys  for  hanging  rooms  and  beds 
were  carried  on  in  Kidderminster  in  the  seventeenth  century.  It  will  be  seen  that 
several  of  the  tokens  bear  reference  to  the  weaving  and  clothing  trades,  the  issuers 
either  adopting  the  arms  of  their  company,  or  some  implement  in  use  by  them,  as 
a  pair  of  shears  or  a  shuttle.  Spinning  the  wool,  from  the  above  inventory, 
would  appear  to  be  a  separate  business.  That  credit  was  given  is  evident  from 
the  item  of  ^25,  "  money  oweing  for  stuffs  sent  out"

On  January  10,  1669,  William  Battery  and  Martha  his  wife  leased  four  plots  of 
land  at  Dudley  to  William  Lowe,  of  Dudley,  ironmonger,  who,  in  1675,  conveyed 
the  unexpired  interest  of  the  lease  to  Edmund  Wells. 

Bnffery  was  evidently  a  man  of  property  and  position,  and  it  is  not  at  all  un-

STOURBRIDGE. 

Thirteen  tokens  and  varieties  are  given  as  belonging  to  this  town.  They  are 
chiefly  halfpennies,  and  include  the  town  piece,  which  is  a  very  creditable  pro- 
duction. The  Ironmongers'  Arms  is  a  common  device  upon  the  tokens,  showing 
that  the  iron  trade  has  been  connected  with  the  town  for  a  considerable  period.

An  engraving  is  also  given,  in  Nash  and  Snelling  (plate  iii.,  4).  Following  the 
description,  Boyne  has  a  note  :  "  This  town  piece  shows  the  principal  trades 
carried  on  there.  Amongst  the  Worcestershire  tokens  bequeathed  by  Dr. 
Prattington  to  the  Society  of  Antiquaries,  there  is  a  specimen  of  this  token  having 
the  reverse  indented,  caused  by  the  previously-struck  coin  not  having  been  re- 
moved from  the  die  when  the  new  blank  was  placed  on  it.  Many  examples  of  this 
Kind  are  found. 

Scott,  in  his  "History  of  Stourbridge"  (p.  65),  says:  "The  woollen  manu- 
factory planted  within  the  precincts  of  this  town  cannot  be  traced  to  its  source,  but 
tnidence  is  extant  of  its  existing  in  1693,  4th  William  and  Mary  ;*'  and  on  page  62 
we  read  that  "  in  earlier  times  the  banks  of  the  river,  with  those  of  its  tributary 
streams,  presented  a  series  of  works  in  which  the  various  processes  of  the  iron 
manufactory  were  conducted."  In  another  note  (p.  381)  the  same  writer  states 
that  "a  brass  Stourbridge  halfpenny  was  dug  up  in  the  town,  1830,  and  presented 
to  the  writer  by  W.  Evans,  Esq."

TENBURY. 

Only  a  few  tokens  were  issued  here,  but  they  are  of  a  very  interesting  character. 
Boyne  gives  three  varieties,  whilst  six  are  here  included. 

(Plate,  No.  28.) 
in.  O.  iohn  .  covNLEY  =  The  Grocers'  Arms. 

R.  of  .  tenbvry  =  ic  as  a  monogram.  \ 

1666.  John,  son  of  Thomas  Coundley,  baptized  October  14. 
1682.  John,  son  of  Thomas  Coundley,  buried  June  18. 

This  token  was  described  in  the  Reliquary  for  April,  1868,  as  : 

"  Worcestershire — Tenbury. 

O.  iohn  .  covNLEY-The  Grocers'  Arms. 

R.   OF  .  TENBVRY  =  I. 

This  token— a  farthing  (?)— is  of  very  rude  workmanship,  and  is  apparently  of 
an  earlier  date  than  'the  usual  type  of  seventeenth  century  tokens." 

The  token  is  in  a  fair  state  of  preservation,  appears  to  have  been  coated  wits 
white  metal,  and  there  is  no  reason  to  doubt  that  it  was  issued  in  the  seventeenth 
century.

113.  O.  edmond  .  lane  =»  Arms  as  on  the  last 

R.   OF  .  TENBVRY  =  E  .  L.  \ 

This  description  is  not  quite  correct,  as  there  are  no  helmets  on  the  chevron, 
probably  on  account  of  the  size  of  the  token. 

114.  O.  edmond    .    lane  =  Arms:    a    chevron    between    three 

arrows. 

It.   OF  .  TENBVRY  =  E  .  L.  J 

This  reverse  is  from  an  entirely  different  die  to  the  last. 

Grazebrook  gives  the  arms  of  Lane,  '•  Sable,  a  chevron  between  three  arrows," 
and  sates  that  the  arms  were  borne  in  1563  (Harl.  MSS.)  by  Nicholas  Lane,  of 
Stratford -on- Avon.  An  Edward  (altered  afterwards  to  Edmund)  Lane,  gent, 
appears  in  a  list  of  the  landowners  of  the  county,  1703-4.  In  Tenbury  Church  (on 
the  north  wall)  was  a  monument  to  "  Edmund  Lane,  with  Patience,  and  three 
soqs  and  one  daughter ;  he  died  9  Tan.  1717,  se.  81."*  The  names  of  members  of 
the  Lane  family  occur  in  several  early  terriers  connected  with  the  church  at 
Tenbury.

SneUing  gives  an  engraving  of  a  token  in  Plate  Vn  23,  of  bis  work,  reading : 

116.  O.  anthony  .  search  =  Plaint  \  dealing  \  is  best  |D. 

R.  in  .  tenbvry  .  1670  =  The  Mercers'  Anns.  J 

A  similar  one  being  found  in  the  collection  of  the  Corporation  of  Worcester. 
(See  note  to  No.  5.) 
At  Kington,  in  Herefordshire,  a  token  was  issued  reading  : 

O.  anthony  .  search = The  Grocers'  Arms. 

R.    IN   KINGTON    MERCER  — A  .M.S.  J 

In  the  Roll  of  the  Hearth-tax  for  14th  Charles  II.  (1662),  a  "Margarett  Search, 
widow,  hath  in  her  house  six  fire-hearths ;"  and  again,  "  Margarett  Search, 
widow,  hath  in  her  house  ffower  fire-hearths,"  showing  she  occupied  two  goodly- 
sited  houses.    This  may  have  been  the  mother  of  the  issuer,  Anthony. 

A  careful  search  in  the  parish  registers  of  Kington  results  in  the  discovery  of 
the  following  entries  only  relating  to  this  family,  viz.  : 
1670,  October  25 — Margarett  Search  widdow  was  buryed  in  yc  chaunceU. 
1676,  October  7 — Alice  Search,  a  young  mayd  was  buried  in  y°  church. 
Alice  was  probably  the  daughter  of  Anthony. 

The  Tenbury  registers  have  been  searched  by  the  Rev.  T.  Ayscough  Smith, 
Vicar,  but  the  name  of  Search  is  not  to  be  found.  Tenbury  being  on  the 
borders  of  Herefordshire,  and  distant  about  twenty-five  miles  from  Kington,  it 
is  probable  that  Search  lived  at  Kington  and  carried  on  a  business  at  both  places, 
thus  accounting  for  the  entries  in  the  Kington  registers. 

UPTON-ON-SEVERN. 

Only  the  first  token  here  alluded  to  is  distinctly  assigned  to  this  county,  and 
Boync  says  the  others  he  describes  (three)  may  belong  elsewhere,  as  the  name  of 
Uptoa  is  found  in  several  counties. 

Free/tent  mention  of  all  the  names  occurs  in  the  registers  of  the  parish  of  Upton- 
oo-Sevcrn,  and  there  is  little  doubt  that  all  the  tokens  included  in  this  list  are 
correctly  assigned  to  Worcestershire.  I  am  indebted  to  the  Rev.  R.  Lawson,  The 
Vicarage,  Upton-on-Severn,  for  his  kindness  in  forwarding  me  the  extracts  from  the 
registers,  and  other  notes.

The  following  entries  concerning  this  family  occur  in  the  parish  registers :

1672.  Baptized  September  23rd  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  John  Bayly.

The  registers  of  Uptonon-Severn  were,  as  was  generally  the  case,,  very  imper- 
fectly kept  during  the  times  of  the  Civil  Wars,  and  in  places  the  entries  are 
illegible.

R.   OF  .  VPTON  .  166   .  =  P  .  K  .  B.  } 

An  engraving  of  this  token  is  given  in  Nash. 

In  a  very  interesting  book,  "  The  Records  and  Traditions  of  Upton-on-ScvenV 
a  chapter  is  devoted  to  some  account  of  this  family,  but  as  it  does  not  deal 
specially  with  the  above  Phillip  Bound,  I  have  thought  it  advisable  to  quote  only 
the  following : 

"  During  the  greater  part  of  the  seventeenth  century  the  family  of  Bound,  or 
Bounde,  was  one  of  the  most  influential  in  Upton.  Its  members  lived  in  good 
sized  houses,  held  parish  offices,  and  were  frequently  sponsors  to  the  children  of 
well-to-do  parents.  Three  or  four  of  them  were  feoffees  of  Hall's  charity,  and 
associated  in  trust  deeds  with  the  Lechmeres  and  others  of  the  neighbouring  gentry. 
They  were  people  of  some  fortune  and  honourable  station,  and  they  were  held  as 
a  family  in  good  repute. 

"  Yet,  for  no  excellence  or  virtue,  but  for  the  evil  fame  of  one  individual  of  the 
race,  their  name  is  preserved  in  local  tradition.  While  the  old  Royalist  Rector, 
and  the  learned  Puritan  who  displaced  him,  the  good  lord  of  the  manor,  and  the 
soldiers  who  fought  for  the  King  or  Parliament  in  Upton  Churchyard,  are  alike  for- 
gotten, the  name  of  the  Bounds  is  remembered  amongst  us  still,  from  the  detestation 
which  hangs  around  the  memory  of  Thomas,  generally  called  Captain  Bound. 
There  were  two  families  of  Bounds,  who  seem  to  have  settled  here  towards  the  end 
of  the  sixteenth  century.  They  were  probably  related  to  a  certain  Dr.  Philip 
Bound,  who  stirred  up  the  whole  Sabbatarian  controversy  by  his  work,  'On  the 
Sabbath.'  He  was  an  ultra-Calvinist,  and  one  of  the  foremost  theologians  of  thai 
school.  Phillip  was  a  favourite  name  among  the  family  in  Upton,  and  they  were 
on  the  anti-Royalist  and  anti-Church  of  England  side  in  politics.  The  father  of 
Captain  Bound  was  possessed  of  several  pieces  of  land  near  the  town.  He  was 
churchwarden  once  or  twice,  and  in  demand  as  a  godfather.  There  is  no  entry  0.' 
the  baptism  of  the  younger  Thomas  Bound,  but  it  must  have  been  early  in  the 
century,  as  he  was  sponsor  in  1627.  He  was  yet  young  when,  in  1640,  he  was  t 
married  man.  His  clear,  firm  signature  is  in  two  or  three  pages  of  the  register, 
just  below  the  neat  writing  of  the  Rector.  He  outlived  three  wives,  but  did  not 
try  matrimony  a  fourth  time.  He  had  many  children,  and  lived  the  Utter  part  o! 
his  life  at  Southend."

From  a  search  of  the  parish  registers  we  glean  that  "Jhon  Baylves"  stood 
godfather  to  a  child  in  1037,  and  "  Jhon  Baylise  "  in  June  of  the  same  year.     0

WORCESTERSHIRE.  1287 

November  1,  1664,  a  John  Baylys  (?)  was  buried.  Richard  Hudson  had  a 
daughter  baptized  on  July  28,  1628,  and  stood  as  godfather  to  a  child  in  June,  1639. 
Another  Richard  Hudson,  "  the  yonger,"  stood  as  a  godfather  in  February,  1640, 
and  in  December,  1643.     His  wife's  name  was  Margaret 

Amongst  the  entries  in  the  parish  books  we  find  that  a  shilling  was  paid  to  take 
"Mordecai  Hudson's  mother-in-law  out  of  prison."  "The  Hudsons  have  been 
Nonconformists  during  two  hundred  years  of  their  abode  in  Upton,  and  this 
individual,  whose  identity  seems  to  have  been  merged  in  that  of  her  son-in-law, 
may  hare  been  imprisoned  for  attending  some  illegal  place  of  worship."* 

From  an  old  deed  we  find  that  "  Richard  Hudson  of  Upton  uppon  Seaverne  in 
the  County  of  Worcester  Chandler  sonne  and  heire  apparent  of  Richard  Hudson 
late  of  Upton  aforesaid  deceased  "conveyesan  acre  of  land,  in  conformity  with  his

This  name  occurs  frequently  in  the  Upton-on  -Severn  registers  in  the  seventeenth 
century.  A  William  Cowell  stood  godfather  on  sundry  occasions,  and  buried  two 
daughters  between  1629  and  1641.

The  Winberys  were  a  very  old  family  in  Upton,  and  carried  on  business  as 
mercers  for  upwards  of  a  century. 

Christopher  Winbery  left  10s.  a  vear,  payable  out  of  a  piece  of  land  called 
"  Dyers  hay,"  to  be  laid  out  in  bread,  and  distributed  on  January  1  for  ever.  A 
Christopher  Wynberry  was  a  sponsor  between  1631  and  1644,  and  C.  W.,

The  large  number  of  tokens  issued  in  this  city  gave  the  authorities  some  cause 
for  alarm,  for  we  find  that  in  1666  the  Worcester  Chamber  ordered  "  that  the 
Chamberlains  demand  security  of  all  persons  that  shall  set  forth  brass  farthings  or 
halfpence,  for  the  re-taking  of  such  as  shall  be  brought  to  them."  And  in  the 
following  year  (1667)  the  Chamber  made  an  order  "that  the  sum  of  £50  be 
dispensed,  on  making  farthings,  for  the  necessary  exchange,  and  that  the  Chamber- 
lain shall  from  time  to  time  exchange  them  for  silver  as  often  as  thev  shall  be  there- 
unto required,  and  to  keep  a  stock  in  hand  for  that  purpose,  and  that  all  other 
farthing*  and  halfpence  be  called  in  by  proclamation,  "t  An  order  to  the  same

after  (1669)  the  issue  of  this  farthing  a  petition  was  sent  to  the  {louse  of  Commons, 
asking  them  "  to  put  a  stop  to  y*  further  coyning  of  copper  money  under  tbc

ings in  this  city,"  by  which  they  had  forfeited  their  charter  of  privileges,  in  having 
usurped  the  kings  prerogative  of  coining.  In  167 1  there  was  paid  "  F01

The  engraving  in  Nash  reads  "  will  "  only  on  the  obverse,  and  was  pro- 
bably taken  from  a  poor  specimen,  as  a  blank  is  left,  and  the  engraving  in  Green 
appears  to  have  been  copied  from  it.  I  have  one  in  my  collection  on  which  the 
obverse  only  of  the  token  is  struck,  the  reverse  being  indented,  and  corresponding 
with  the  obverse. 

These  are  amongst  the  most  interesting  tokens  issued  in  this  county,  being  the 
only  ones  bearing  a  merchant's  mark.  As  will  be  seen  from  the  token,  William 
Chetle  was  a  clothier,  several  members  of  the  family  having  been  connected  with 
the  Fraternity  of  Clothiers  at  Worcester.  They  were  incorporated  by  Queen 
Elizabeth,  in  the  32nd  year  of  her  reign,  by  the  name  of  the  "  Master,  Wardens, 


tad  Coroonality  of  the  Company  of  Weavers,  Walkers,  and  Clothiers  within  the 
"ity  of  Worcester,"  and  at  the  Heralds'  Visitation  of  the  county,  in  1682,  a  John 
Jhetle  was  one  of  the  Wardens  of  the  Weavers  and  Clothiers.  A  Francis  Chetle 
vaa  warden  in  1695  and  1696,  and  left  by  his  will,  amongst  other  charities, 
1  a  good  cloth  coat,  as  well  to  the  company's  beadles  as  to  poor  and  approved 
•rjjects,  at  the  Michaelmas  quarter  meeting  of  the  company.  The  mark  itself  is 
be  same  on  both  tokens,  whilst  on  the  farthing  the  initial  letter  of  his  wife's  name 
Sarah)  is  omitted.  The  npper  portion  of  the  mark  is  no  doubt  intended  for  a 
Catherine  wheel,  and  is  supported  by  a  shaft  rising  from  an  interlaced  arrangement

at  the  base.  Boync  gives  engravings  of  thirty-five  "  merchants'  marks  and  un- 
certain devices,"  found  on  the  tokens  he  describes,  but  the  one  here  referred 
to  bears  a  distinctive  character,  and  is  the  only  one  of  which  the  Catherine 
wheel  forms  a  part.  This  device  alone  appears  on  a  token  of  William  Buffer 
(No.  53),  of  the  Lye  Waste,  who  was  engaged  in  the  linen  or  cloth  trade.  The 
Catherine  wheel  was  a  charge  on  the  Turners'  Arms,  and  was  the  badge  of  the 
Order  of  the  Knights  of  St.  Catherine,  created  1063,  for  the  protection  of  pilgrims 
on  their  way  to  and  from  the  Holy  Sepulchre.  It  was  also  a  comparatively 
common  device  adopted  by  innkeepers  at  one  period.  An  inn  in  Friar  Street, 
near  the  Cardinal's  Hat,  now  the  Coventry  Arms,  bore  the  sign  of  the  Catherine 
wheel.  William  Chetle,  although  a  clothier,  may  have  kept  the  inn  bearing  this 
sign.  A  Thomas  Chetle,  probably  a  brother,  was  host  of  the  Green  Dragon,  at 
the  corner  of  Cooken  Street  and  High  Street,  in  1686.

members.  It  is  composed  of  alternate  stripes  of  embroidered  velvet  and  tapestry. 
The  embroidering  on  the  velvet  consists  of  fleurs-de-lis,  eagles,  double-headed, 
displayed  ;  pineapples  [query,  teazles],  and  angels  with  expanded  wings,  standing 
on  wheels  [query,  St.  Catherine].  The  tapestry  consists  of  figures  of  saints  and 
passages  from  Scripture  history ;  at  the  sides  are  four  shields  of  arms  or  devices, 
emblematical  of  the  manufacture  of  cloth.  It  was  suggested  by  Miss  Agne« 
Strickland,  during  her  recent  visit  to  Worcester,  that  this  pall  might  be  a  mortuary 
cloth  used  at  Prince  Arthur's  funeral ;  that  the  embroidery  is  Spanish ;  that  the 
pineapple,  or  teazle,  is  a  pomegranate  ;  the  purple,  the  imperial  colour ;  and  that 
the  wheels  are  Catherine  wheels,  introduced  into  the  arms  through  Prince  Arthur's 
marriage  with  Catherine  of  Arragon.  Mr.  Gutch  states  that  this  opinion  is 
strengthened  by  a  MS.  of  the  time  in  the  College  of  Arms,  published  in  the 
•  Antiquarian  Repertory,'  which  details  the  particulars  connected  with  the  arrival 
of  Queen  Caroline  in  England,  the  pageants  at  her  marriage  with  Prince  Arthur, 
and  his  decease,  six  months  after,  at  Ludlow,  including  the  offering  of  palls  of 
cloth  of  gold  to  the  corse  by  the  lords  mourners." 

Mr.  Hartshorne,  in  a  paper  read  before  the  members  of  the  Archaeological 
Institute  at  Cambridge,  is  of  opinion  that  the  pall  has  nothing  whatever  to  do  with 
Prince  Arthur,  but  that  it  consists  of  two  copes  sewed  together,  and  that  the  angek 
represented  on  it  refer  to  the  vision  of  Ezekiel. 

Prince  Arthur  was  buried  on  the  south  side  of  the  choir  in  Worcester  Cathedral, 
and  a  chapel  was  erected  to  his  memory. 

The  Catherine  wheel  may  have  been  suggested  to  Chetle,  who  was  probabrr* 
member  of  the  City  Clothiers'  Company,  as  a  suitable  device  for  a  merchant's 
mark,  by  the  fact  of  its  appearing  on  the  pall  used  at  the  funeral  of  any  decea»l 
member  of  the  company,  as  well  as  from  the  fact  that  St.  Catherine  was  patrones 
of  spinners  and  spinsters. 

Cussans,  in  his  "  Handbook  of  Heraldry,"  refers  to  merchants'  marks  as 
"badges  of  great  antiquity,"  and  says,  "  When  the  right  of  bearing  arms  was 
restricted  exclusively  to  Nobilts>  and  any  infringement  of  this  ordinance  was  visted 
by  severe  punishment  and  heavy  fines,  citizens  were  permitted  to  adopt  certain 
devices,  which  were  placed  upon  their  merchandise.  These  were  not  strictly 
armorial,  but  were  employed,  for  the  most  part,  by  merchants  to  whom  arm* 
were  denied,  in  much  the  same  manner  as  trade-marks  are  at  the  present  drf. 
In  one  of  the  Harleian  manuscripts,  preserved  in  the  British  Museum,  we  read : 
'  Theys  be  none  armys  but  a  marke  as  merchaunts  use,  for  every  man  may  take 
hym  a  marke,  but  not  armys,  without  a  herawde  or  purcyvante.'  Those  by  who* 
such  marks  were  principally  adopted  were  Wool-staplers,  or  Merchants  of  the 
Staple.  .  .  .  The  devices  which  they  adopted  were  generally  a  combination  of  1 
cross  and  their  own  initials." 

By  a  Statute  39th  Elizabeth,  justices  were  to  appoint  "  searchers  and  sealers  * 
cloth  yearly,  who  shall  fix  their  seals  to  it."  Broadcloth  was  to  contain  the 
quantity  mentioned  on  the  seals,  or  the  seller  was  to  forfeit  a  sixth  parL  ViT 
men  who  refused  to  fix  seals,  and  others  defacing  or  counterfeiting,  etc,  to  forfc* 
j£20.     Leaden  seals,  bearing  the  mark  of  the  merchant,  were  attached  to  the

cloth,  indicating  the  maker,  and  assuring  the  purchaser  that  the  length  represented 
was  in  the  piece  sold,  as  it  was  impossible  to  open  the  roll  without  breaking  the 
seal  or  cutting  the  string  by  which  it  was  fastened.  I  have  several  of  these  old 
merchants'  lead  pieces  by  me,  which  bear  evident  marks  of  having  at  some  former 
period  been  attached  to  packages  by  tape  or  string. 

In  Henry  VIII. *s  reign  the  clothing  trade  of  Worcester  was  in  a  most  prosperous 
conditioo,  and  Leland  thus  quaintly  alludes  to  the  fact :  "  The  Wealthe  of  the 
towne  of  Worcester  standeth  roost  by  draperinge,  and  no  towne  in  England  at  this 
present  tyme  maketh  so  many  cloaths  yearly  as  this  towne  doth." 

The  names  of  Mr.  Wm.  Chetle,  Mrs.  Sarah  Chetle,  and  Mrs.  Sarah  Chetle, 
daughter  to  Mr.  Wm.  Chetle,  are  amongst  those  found  attached  to  the  original 
declaration  or  manifesto  of  the  "  Independent "  Church  at  Worcester  in  1687. 
Mrs.  Sarah  Chetle  died  in  1 701,  intestate,  her  estate  being  valued  at  £22  15s. 
She  was  probably  living  with  her  son  Joseph,  who  administered  to  her  effects,  and 
was  indebted  to  her  to  the  extent  of  £12.  Her  wearing  apparel  and  money  in 
purse  was  valued  at  £2,  and  "one  trunk  and  one  blankett "  at  6s.,  the  remainder 
being  made  up  of  debts.

Thomas  Hackett  was  Mayor  of  the  city  in   1664.     Owing  probably  to  his

but  of  perfect  memory,"  he  is  described  as  of  the  "  Citty  of  Worcester,  Gent 
He  possessed  considerable  property  in  Worcester,  including  an  "  ancient  messuage" 
at  the  corner  of  Badam's  Lane,  divided  into  three  tenements,  with  other  properties 
adjoining,  also  houses  in  the  Shambles,  New  Street,  and  several  "  old  decayed 
tenements"  in  St.  Peter's  parish,  in  a  "street  or  lane  there,  called  Frog  Lane." 
He  had  an  interest  also  in  some  other  property  in  St.  Helen's  parish.  In  his  will 
he  takes  unusual  precautions  as  to  the  disposal  of  his  freeholds,  and  provides  for 
several  contingencies.  For  a  "  gentleman  "  his  personal  effects  are  of  a  very 
limited  character,  being  valued  at  the  moderate  sum  of  £zz  ios,,  as  will  be  seen 
from  the  inventory  following.  He  leaves  a  cousin  five  shillings  and  a  fur  cap,  to  bis 
cousin's  wife  and  the  two  gentlemen  who  valued  his  personal  estate,  and  were  to  act 
as  "  overseers  "  of  his  will,  ten  shillings  each  to  buy  a  mourning  ring.  To  Richard 
Jones  he  gives  a  pair  of  sheets  and  his  old  suit  of  clothes,  and  the  rest  of  bh 
wearing  apparel  he  bequeaths  to  his  brother. 

Badam's  Vine  was  that  part  of  Needler's  Street  (now  called  Pump  Street) 
between  the  Shambles  and  Friar  Street.*  Frog  Lane  leads  from  Diglis  to  Edgar

The  specimen  from  which  Green's  engraving  was  taken  was  evidently  a  poor 
as  the  centre  of  the  reverse  bears  but  small  resemblance  to  a  book.     There  is 
in  the  collection  of  the  Corporation  of  Worcester  which  is  in  a  fair  state  of  \ 
vation,  and  from  which  I  have  supplied  the  information  unknown  to  Boyne. 

John  Jones  was  a  bookseller  in  Worcester,  and  his  name  appears  attached  to  a 
pamphlet  published  in  1684  .

This  discourse  was  delivered  before  Ihe  Mayor  and  Aldermen  of  Worcester, 
which  city  had  then  a  sufficiency  of  readers  to  support  two  booksellers,  one 
Sampson  Evans  carrying  on  this  business  there  at  this  time. 

Jones  also  published  "The  Carpenter's  Rule  made  Easie  for  the  use  of

The  inventory  of  his  effects  is  given  below.  His  personal  estate  was  consider- 
able, amounting  to  upwards  of  £540.  He  evidently  did  a  large  business  as  a 
weaver  of  linen,  his  good  debts  being  estimated  at  £328.  His  wearing  apparel 
and  cash  (generally  included  in  one  sum)  were  valued  at  ^125.  In  the  chamber 
over  the  kitchen  he  had,  amongst  other  things,  flaxen,  hurden,  and  hemp  sheets, 
and  a  large  lot  of  other  linen,  probably  using  the  room  for  stock  purposes.  In  the 
kitchen  we  find  a  number  of  pewter  basins,  plates,  pots,  flagons,  can,  candlesticks, 
salts,  etc.  The  entire  inventory  gives  a  good  idea  of  the  mode  of  furnishing  and 
utensils  in  domestic  use  in  the  seventeenth  century.

his  wife  were  such  as  not  to  meet  with  his  approval.  His  sister  was  "veil

such  affectionate  adjective  precedes  the  mention  of  his  "wife  Sarah  Lloyi" 
This  is  borne  out  by  the  fact  that  the  testator's  daughter  was  to  pay  her  motba 
£1$  per  annum,  if  her  mother's  **  carriag  prove  better  than  formerly  it  hni  I 
been.  It  is  probable  that  she  was  addicted  to  drunkenness,  for  Lloyd,  in  *& 
tion  to  his  business  of  a  clothier,  was  landlord  of  the  Royal  Oak,  "  attached  " 
which  were  five  stables  and  two  gardens,"  besides  several  cottages.  This  property 
was  held  on  lease  from  the  "  Chamber  of  the  said  Citty  "  of  Worcester,  and  which 
lease  they  promised  to  renew  upon  very  reasonable  terms.  In  his  will  be  ex- 
presses a  desire  that  ten  years  before  this  lease  expired  an  effort  was  to  be  •*■* 
to  renew  it,  "  I  being  at  very  great  expense  and  charge  upon  void  and  visa 
ground."  He  ordered  ten  shillings  to  be  given  away  in  bread  every  Christum 
Day  to  the  poor  of  St.  Nicholas',  and  a  like  sum  on  the  same  day  to  the  pooc i- 
Cockshead.  All  the  goods  and  cloth  then  "ready  in  the  house  for  sale"  vert 
given  to  his  daughter.  He  expresses  a  desire  to  be  buried  in  a  "decent  *^ 
handsome  manner,"  and  appoints  three  overseers  to  his  will,  giving  each  a  moat? 
ing-ring,  scarf,  and  gloves. 

In  the  name  of  God  Amen  I  Artiibr  Loyd  of  the  Citty  of  Worcester  Qc^

The  list  of  tokens  of  this  county  is  mainly  taken  from  the  Yorkshire 
division  of  Boyne's  "  Tokens  issued  in  the  Seventeenth  Century  in 
England  and  Wales"   (1858),   and  also   from  the  same  author's 
smaller  work,  "The  Yorkshire  Tokens"  (1858),  with  Addenda  (1870). 
Many  tokens  have,  however,  come  to  light  since  the  publishing  of 
these  works,  revealing  new  names  of  places  as  well  as  issuers,  and 
places  and  names  included  in  Boyne's  works  have  since  been  trans- 
ferred  to  other  counties.      Dunnington  has,  for  instance,  with  its 
two  issuers  (Nos.  73  and  74,  Boyne),  been  transferred  to  Lincoln- 
shire, and  Wragby  (No.  328,  Boyne)  also  to  Lincolnshire,  and  the 
one  issued  by  Richard  Neast,  which  in  Boyne  (No.  103)  is  placed 
to  Haworth,  to  Highworth,  Wiltshire.     Mr.  Baldwin,  of  Plumstead, 
informs  us  that  he  met  with  this  token  at  Southrop,  a  village  some 
seven  or  eight  miles  from  Highworth,  where  it  had  been  found  in  re- 
moving the  thatch  from  an  old  house,  along  with  several  Highworth 
tokens.     Seven  tokens  are  transferred  from  Richmond,  Yorkshire, 
to  Richmond,  Surrey,  as  per  reasons  stated  under  the  head  of  Rich- 
mond ;  and  Boyne,  No.  347  (Thomas  Caverley,  Bootham),  is  placed 
to  Rootham,  Kent     No.  362,  Boyne  (John  Hvtchenson,  York),  has 
been  found,  on  a  more  careful  reading,  to  be  the  same  as  No.  363, 
Boyne,  but  has  been  struck  on  Christopher  Morley's  token  (No.  378, 
Boyne),  and  shows  part  of  the  older  inscription.     By  taking  away 
Dunnington  and  Wragby,  the  number  of  places  of  issue  is  diminished 
by   two,  and  we  have  added  thirteen,  viz. :  Almondbury,  Anlaby, 
Cranswick,  Great  Preston,  Goole,  Helmsley,  Honley  and  Holmfirth, 
Horton,  Market  Weighton,  Middleham,  Popeley  Gate  and  Wood- 
house.     The  number  of  tokens  added  is  very  small  for  the  size  of 
the  county,  especially  so  when  taken  in  comparison  with  many  of 
the  other  counties  ;  this  may  be  partly  accounted  for.     Mr.  Boyne 
was    a  native  of  Yorkshire,  and  also  a  resident  at  the  time  of  the 
compilation  of  his  great  work,  and  had  opportunities  for  collecting 
information  respecting  this  county,  which  we  know,  from  a  communi- 
cation he  has  made  to  us,  was  his  "  pet  county." 

The  number  in  our  own  cabinet  is  378,  and  in  the  list  which 
follows  all  in  our  possession  are  marked  with  an  asterisk.  B.M. 
signifies  those  in  the  British  Museum,  and  the  other  possessors' 
names  are  given  in  full. 

Yorkshire  is  the  largest  in  area  of  the  counties  of  England,  and  it 
has  the  largest  series  of  tokens  next  to  the  Metropolitan  counties  of

1306    TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

Kent,  Middlesex  and  Surrey.  The  earliest  date  on  them  is  one  of 
Pontefract,  1649,  and  the  latest  is  1672,  of  which  latter  date  there 
are  several.  Only  one  town  piece  is  known,  and  that  is  of  Bridling- 
ton, of  which  there  are  two  varieties. 

It  may  be  interesting  to  some  to  learn  that  among  the  issuers  of 
these  counties  many  were  loyal,  as  shown  by  the  devices  on 
the  tokens  (it  being  borne  in  mind  that  it  was  chiefly  during  the 
Commonwealth  that  the  tokens  were  issued),  as  the  King's  Head, 
the  King's  Arms,  Rose  and  Crown,  George  and  the  Dragon, 
and  other  insignia  of  royalty— especially  in  the  north  of  York- 
shire. In  Richmond,  for  instance,  out  of  the  twelve  issuers  in  that 
town,  eight  have  the  King's  Head,  one  a  crown,  and  one  George  and 
the  Dragon  on  them.  At  Guisborough  all  the  five  tokens  issued 
there  bear  the  King's  Head,  and  at  Yarm  five  out  the  six  issued  have 
the  King's  Head  on  them.  But  where  so  many  emblems  of  royalty 
are  found,  it  is  strange  how  seldom  the  names  of  James  and  Charles 
occur — James  only  appearing  eight  times,  and  Charles  only  four,  in 
the  whole  of  the  448  known  of  the  county. 

Most  of  the  Yorkshire  tokens  are  circular,  the  only  departures 
being  nine  heart-shape  and  four  octagonal.  They  have  the  Arms  of 
most  of  the  incorporated  trade  companies  of  London,  which  were  often 
used  by  persons  of  a  similar  trade  throughout  the  country.  They  have 
also  the  Arms  of  the  abbeys  of  Bridlington,  Selby  and  Whitby ;  of 
many  private  families,  and  the  principal  devices  of  the  tavern  signs, 
as  well  of  shop  signs  and  articles  sold  by  the  issuers.  In  some  cases, 
as  in  Nos.  143  and  144,  Hull,  the  issuer,  Lyonell  Buckle,  has  placed 
a  buckle  on  each  of  his  tokens,  as  a  rebus  on  his  name.  On  No.  293, 
issued  at  Robin  Hood's  Bay,  are  represented  Robin  Hood  and 
Little  John.  A  York  music-master  (No.  447)  has  an  early  example 
of  Punchinello,  now  a  wide-world  favourite. 

We  must  acknowledge  the  information  derived  from  an  article  m 
the  Numismatic  Chronicle,  New  Series,  vol.  xx.,  by  Mr.  H.  S.  Gill, 
"On  the  Unpublished  Yorkshire  Tokens  of  the  Seventeenth 
Century,"  as  also  much  kindness  received  personally  from  Mr. 
Gill,  who  has  always  communicated  most  fully  and  freely  facts  con- 
cerning tokens  he  in  his  extensive  knowledge  and  research  has  ob- 
tained. But  we  must  be  permitted  to  say  that  the  work  he  quotes 
from  in  "  The  Contemporary  Notes  on  some  of  the  Issuers  of  Hull 
and  other  Towns  "  is  one  that  we  do  not  admit  as  authentic,  and 
therefore  the  matter  that  Mr.  Gill  in  his  article  extracts  from  these 
notes  is  not  given  here. 

We  also  wish  to  acknowledge  with  thanks  the  great  kindness  that  so 
many  of  the  clergy  of  different  parishes  in  the  county  have  conferred 
on  us,  by  examining  their  parish  registers,  and  for  the  information 
they  have  given.

YORKSHIRE.  1307 


ALDBOROUGH. 

As  Boync  says,  there  is  a  town  of  this  name  in  Norfolk,  and  another  in  Suffolk, 
the  Utter  a  corporate  and  Parliamentary  borough,  until  disfranchised  by  the 
Reform  Act.  There  is  also  an  Aldborough  in  the  West  Riding  of  Yorkshire 
(once  the  Roman  capital  of  Britain,  under  the  name  of  Isurium),  which  was  made 
a  Parliamentary  borough  under  Philip  and  Mary,  and,  like  its  Suffolk  namesake, 
was  disfranchised  in  1832.  There  is  yet  another  Aldborough  in  the  East  Riding 
of  Yorkshire,  near  the  sea-coast,  and  it  is  to  this  latter  one  I  am  inclined  to  assign 
these  tokens,  chiefly  for  the  following  reasons :  that  a  Ship  Inn  is  remembered  to 
have  existed  there,  and  that  a  family  bearing  the  name  of  Yates  still  resides  there, 
and  has  the  same  family  arms  as  the  issuer  of  this  token.  Another  branch  of  this 
Yates  family  issued  a  halfpenny  token  at  Bridlington — a  town  in  the  same  county,

The  Rev.  Canon  Hulbert,  Vicar  of  Almondbury,  has  kindly  searched  the  parish 
registers,  and  supplied  the  notes  of  the  other  two  issuers.  He  can  find  no  mention 
ofEHxon,  but  says  that  this  is  probably  owing  to  omissions  that  occur  in  the  register 
about  this  period.  There  is  a  family  of  Dixon  at  Farnely  Tvas,  a  village  one  and  a 
half  miles  distant  from  Almondbury  parish  church,  where  the  inhabitants  attended 
until  1840,  when  the  late  Earl  of  Dartmouth  built  a  church  there.

the  rim  outside  runs  thus :

This  was  communicated  by  William  Sheardown,  Esq.,  of  Doncaster.  He  says : 
"  It  was  found  at  Bent  ley,  in  which  parish  half  the  bridge  is  situate ;  probably  the 
toll-gate  was  on  the  Bentley  side."  It  is  interesting  from  having  been  issued  by  a 
tollman ;  only  two  other  examples  are  known.  See  Stilton  and  Nottingham. 
Turnpikes  were  established  about  this  period.

GARGRAVE. 

92.  There  was  a  token  of  this  town  in  the  Rev.  Richard  South- 

gate's  sale  in  1795. 

GILDERSOME. 

N.  Scatcherd's  etymology  of  Gildersome  is  interesting:  he  derives  it  from 
Gueldres  Zoom,  the  boundary  or  district  of  the  Gueldres,  many  manufacturers 
from  that  country  having  been  introduced  into  Yorkshire  by  Edward  III.  for  the 
promotion  of  the  woollen  cloth  manufacture,  where  it  has  flourished  ever  since.

pack.  1 

The  house  of  the  issuer  of  this  token  is  still  standing,  with  the  inscriptkn 
"  Henry  Scott,  1685,"  over  the  door.  Scott,  no  doubt,  was  a  wooJstapler,  the 
principal  trade  of  the  district  being  the  woollen  manufacture.  The  motto,  M  Strike 
light,  weigh  right/'  is  a  rhyming  version  of  giving  good  weight  and  measure ;  i-' 
used  rapidly,  there  would  be  less  in  the  measure  than  if  used  lightly*  "  Strike"  is 
also  a  name  for  a  bushel.

Walter  Brokett  was  a  tanner  in  Hull  The  Brocketts  were  an  ancient  York- 
shire family,  settled  at  Steton,  in  the  parish  of  Bolton  Percy.  No  memorials  of  the 
family  now  remain  in  the  church  of  that  parish  ;  but  at  the  Yorkshire  Visitation, 
in  1584-85,  amongst  the  arms  (Harleian  MS..  1394)  taken  out  of  the  church  are 
those  of  Thomas  Brockett,  or  a  cross  patonce  sable ;  and  mention  is  made  of  a 
tomb  inscribed : 

"  ^gfoina*  $toktt  et  JHomeia  uxor  tjtte  qrx'x  ijuibtm  Thomas  obttt  xtii  hit

The  names  of  De  Broc,  Brook,  Brockhill,  and  Brockett  are  variations  of  the 
original  Broc  (with  the  vowel  long)  for  brook,  and  the  fancy  crests  of  badgers 
(brocks)  and  stags  (brocketts)  are  mere  "  canting  arms."  The  Steton  estate  has 
long  been  the  property  of  the  Fairfax  family. 

The  elder  branch  of  the  Brocketts  settled  in  Hertfordshire  in  the  reign  of 
Edward  IV.,  and  several  of  them  were  High  Sheriffs  of  that  county.  The  family 
is  extinct,  and  Brockett  Hall  and  the  estates  passed  by  purchase  in  1720  to 
Matthew  Lamb,  Esq.,  grandfather  of  the  two  Viscounts  Melbourne  and  Lady 
Palmerston,  wife  of  the  Premier,  to  whom  it  now  belongs. 

The  Brocketts  are  but  thinly  scattered  throughout  the  country,  but  they  are  still 
found  not  far  distant  from  the  "  Brockett  Halls,"  which  formerly  belonged  to  the 
family  in  both  the  North  and  South  of  England.  Lawrence  Brockett,  a  wealthy 
lawyer  of  Durham,  left  a  son,  Lawrence,  who  became  Regius  Professor  of  Modern 
History  in  the  University  of  Cambridge,  and  died  in  1768.  Another  Durham 
Brockett  (John  Trotter),  an  eminent  antiquary,  who  died  in  1842,  was  author  of 
an  excellent  "  Glossary  of  North-Country  Words  "  and  other  works ;  and  to  his 
younger  brother,  William  Henry  Brockett,  the  antiquarian  world  is  also  indebted 
for  several  interesting  tractates,  including  catalogues  of  "  Tradesmen's  Tokens"  of 
Durham,  Northumberland,  Westmoreland,  Cumberland,  etc  This  gentleman 
filled  the  office  of  Chief  Magistrate  of  his  native  town  of  Gateshead  in  1839-40.

LEEDS. 

The  rising  importance  of  Leeds  is  shown  by  the  large  number  of  its  tokens, 
second  only  to  those  of  the  city  of  York.  The  importance  of  the  woollen  base- 
ness, of  which  Leeds  was  the  metropolis,  conduced  to  its  great  prosperity.  It 
suffered  severely  through  the  Civil  Wars  ;  but  still  more,  in  March,  1644-45,  fron 
the  ravages  of  the  plague,  when  more  than  a  fifth  of  the  population  perished.

YORKSHIRE.  1325 

177.  *0.  Ambrose  ambler*  A  roll  of  tobacco  and  two  pipes. 

R.   IN  .  LEEDS  .  1669  =  HIS  PENNY.  I 

The  pipes  on  thU  and  other  tokens  are  of  the  kind  called  by  the  vulgar  "  fairy 
pipes,"  which  were  made  at  the  commencement  of  the  seventeenth  century.  They 
are  frequently  found  in  ploughed  fields,  whither  they  have  been  carried  in  manure. 
They  are  generally  without  stems,  but  when  perfect  are  about  eight  inches  long, 
thicker  in  the  stem  than  modern  pipes,  with  small  heads  almost  egg-shaped ;  in  some 
districts  they  are  found  with  the  makers'  initials  at  the  bottom  of  the  head.  By 
some  they  are  believed  to  have  been  made  long  prior  to  the  reign  of  Elizabeth, 
during  whose  reign  tobacco  was  first  introduced  ;  there  are  certainly  reasons  for 
supposing  that  the  custom  of  smoking  is  more  ancient  than  the  introduction  of 
tobacco.  When  half  of  the  great  tower  of  Kirkstall  Abbey  fell  down,  in  1779,  a 
number  of  these  "  fairy  pipes  "  were  found  embedded  in  the  mortar,  and  it  is  known 
that  the  most  modern  part  of  the  tower  was  built  in  the  reign  of  Henry  VII. ;  and 
after  the  abbey  was  dismantled  at  the  Reformation,  there  was  no  access  to  the 
upper  part  of  the  tower.  A  number  were  also  found  recently  at  Newcastle,  in  the 
castle  midden,  on  removing  the  houses  built  on  that  ancient  accumulation,  in 
order  to  make  the  approaches  to  the  High  Level  Bridge. 

Mr.  James  Carruthers,  in  an  article  in  the  Ulster  Journal  of  Archaology% 
voL  iiL,  p.  320,  informs  us  that  these  pipes  are  called  in  Ireland  "  Danes'  pipes,"  and 
that  one  of  them  was  found  with  a  number  of  bracteate  silver  coins  in  a  Danish 
cairn,  on  Scraba  Hill,  near  Newtownards,  county  of  Down,  in  1855. — W.  B.

The  die  of  this  token  was  in  the  Museum  of  Thoresby,  the  gift  of  James 
Dawson.  The  token  shows  that  the  motto  of  Baron  Bradwardine,  in  the  incom- 
parable novel  of  "  Waverley,"  is  older  than  the  time  of  Scott.  It  is  also  Boniface's 
double-entendre,  as  bear  and  beer  are  both  alike  pronounced  "  beer  "  at  Leeds, 
and  he  is  warning  his  customers  to  beware  of  the  strength  of  his  beer.

apparently  those  of  the  Pewterers'  Company ;  they  differ  from  those  given  to  the 
Iveson  familv  in  Thoresby's  "  Ducatus  Leodiensis,"  viz.,  a  chevron  between  three

RICHMOND. 

The  following  notes  from  Clarkson's  "  History  of  Richmond  in  Yorkshire  "  (4UX, 
1 821)  enable  us  to  assign  many  of  the  following  tokens  to  that  town ;  others  are 
doubtful  as  to  whether  they  belong  to  the  Surrey  or  Yorkshire  Richmond.  The 
list  is  very  much  curtailed  from  the  one  given  in  Boyne's  first  edition,  as  by  the 
researches  of  Mr.  F.  Challoner  Smith,  of  the  Probate  Registry,  Somerset  House, 
seven  that  Mr.  Boyne  assigned  to  the  Yorkshire  Richmond  are  npw  with  consider- 
able certainty  located  to  the  Surrey  Richmond,  for  the  following  reasons  : 

Richard  Campion,  1668  (Boyne,  first  edition,  p.  515,  No.  236). — In  the  parish 
register  of  Richmond,  Surrey,  is  the  following  entry  :  "  Richard  Campion  boned 
Sep.  17,  1679  "  ;  and  the  same  name  is  found  in  the  Hearth-tax  Rolls  of  the  same 
place. 

Lvke  Chynnall  (Boyne,  first  edition,  p.  515,  No.  239). — This  token  was  (bond 
during  some  excavations  in  Duke  Street,  Richmond,  Surrey,  and  one  Luke  Shynaer 
(the  spelling  of  names  varies  at  that  period)  occupied  a  seat  in  the  church  there 
in  1650. 

Michael  Clayle  (Boyne,  first  edition,  p.  515,  No.  240).— Mr.  F.  ChaUoner  Smith 
says  :  "  I  suspect  that  Clayle  is  a  misreading  for  Flayle."  Michael  Flayle  was  a 
somewhat  important  person  in  Richmond,  Surrey.  His  name  apoears  in  the 
Hearth -tax  Roll  (c  1670),  and  in  the  Surrey  Poll-book  for  1705,  and  the  following 
entries  are  in  the  parish  registers  :  "  Michael  Flayle  was  buried  April  13,  1709  "  ; 
and  "  Mary,  wife  of  Michael  Flayle,  Turner,  Aug*  31,  1704." 

James  Knowles  (Boyne,  first  edition,  p.  515,  Nos.  244,  245). — This  ni 
found  in  the  Hearth-tax  Rolls  as  that  of  an  inhabitant  of  Richmond,  Surrey.

YORKSHIRE.  1335 

William  Marsham  (Boyne,  first  edition,  p.  516,  No.  248).— This  name  is  alsa 
found  in  the  Hearth-tax  Rolls  of  Richmond,  Surrey,  and  also  in  the  parish  registers 
of  the  same  place :  "  Sherletta  Marsham  buried  Sep.  10,  1673 "  *»  William 
Marsham  bap.  April  26,  1649"  ;  and  "  Susanna  Marsham  bap.  Sep.  11,  165a"  I 
imagine  that  these  two  latter  ones  were  children  of  the  William  and  Sherletta 
Marsham,  whose  initials  appear  on  the  token,  w  .  s  .  M. 

John  Skinner  (Boyne,  first  edition,  p.  516,  No.  251). — In  the  parish  register  of 
Richmond,  Surrey,  is  the  following  entry:  "John  Skinner  buried  Oct.  11,  1665." 

I  may  further  state  that  I  am  informed  that  none  of  the  above  six  names  appear 
among  those  of  the  residents  in  Richmond,  York.,  at  that  period.

Thomas  Sober  kept  the  King's  Arms  Inn  in  1661 ;  was  elected  a  Common 

Councilman  December  27,  1655  ;  and  Alderman  December,  1673.     He  was 

probably  the  son  of  Henry  Sober,  named  as  one  of  the  Aldermen  in  the  charter  of 

Charles  II.    The  name  is  a  singular  one  for  a  publican. 

The  people  of  Richmond  and  other  towns  in  the  northern  parts  of  Yorkshire 
appear  to  have  been  zealously  loyal  after  the  Restoration,  if  we  may  judge  by  the 
tokens,  which  frequently  bear  the  King's  head,  as  well  as  other  insignia  of  royalty.

The  above  notes  of  the  issuers  of  tokens  at  Whitby  have  been  kindly  sent  me  by 
Mr.  G.  W.  Waddington,  of  Whitby. 

Whitby  Abbev  is  situated  on  a  high  bleak  hill  above  the  town,  in  this  respect 
Unlike  most  of  the  other  Yorkshire  abbeys,  which  are  in  low,  sheltered  situations ; 
it  was  founded  at  an  early  period  by  St.  Hilda,  a  Saxon  Princess.  Its  arms  are 
three  ammonites ;  these  fossils  are  commonly  found  in  the  rocks  of  the  vicinity, 
and  are  vulgarly  called  snake-stones.  The  number  three  is  emblematic  of  the 
Trinity,  and  frequently  occurs  on  the  bearings  of  the  Yorkshire  abbeys  :  Brid- 
lington, for  instance,  has  three  Roman  B's,  Kirkstall  three  swords,  Selby  three 
swans,  etc.

are  four  Woodhouses  in  England,  but  as  there  are  more  tokens  in  this  county  than 

in  any  other,  with  the  legends  across  the  field  (thirty-one  in  number),  I  believe  this 

to  be  a  Yorkshire  halfpenny."

The  copper  money  of  Ireland  is  earlier  in  date  than  that  of 
England ;  pennies  and  halfpennies  of  that  metal  having  been  issued 
by  command  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  The  patent  farthings  of  James  I. 
and  Charles  I.  circulated  equally  in  both  countries.  Soon  after  the 
Restoration,  Charles  II.  granted  a  patent  to  Sir  Thomas  Armstrong 
for  coining  copper  farthings ;  those  which  were  issued  by  him  average 
twenty-five  grains  in  weight ;  but  as  he  was  not  allowed  by  the  chief 
Governor  of  Ireland  to  make  use  of  his  grant,  very  few  were  struck. 

The  five  pieces  of  money  of  necessity,  as  called  by  Dr.  Aquilla 
Smith,  stand  first  in  order  of  date,  having  been  issued  in  1646.  Six 
varieties  are  known,  three  of  which  are  dated,  and  were  struck  at 
Youghal  and  Cork.  The  Kerry  town-piece,  No.  503,  is  the  same 
shape  and  rude  execution,  and  may  have  been  struck  about  the  same 
time,  or  even  earlier. 

As  the  tokens  of  this  kingdom  are  not  numerous,  they  are  placed 
in  the  alphabetical  order  of  the  towns.  All  the  thirty-two  counties 
issued  them  except  Mayo ;  for  the  County  of  Clare  there  is  only  one; 
Fermanagh  is  only  represented  by  Enniskillen ;  Leitrim  has  but 
one  token,  issued  at  Manorhamilton ;  Longford,  three  tokens,  of 
Bellinalee,  Edgworthstown,  and  Longford.  The  city  of  Dublin  issued 
one  hundred  and  fifty,  about  one-fifth  of  the  entire  number ;  the 
Metropolis  of  Ireland  consequently  occupies  a  lower  position  in 
regard  to  that  kingdom  than  the  Metropolis  of  England  does  to  the 
whole  country,  the  latter  having  nearly  one-third  of  the  entire  series. 
The  county  of  Antrim  has  seventy  tokens  distributed  among  twelve 
towns;  Cork  forty-two  tokens  to  fourteen  towns;  and  Tipperary 
thirty-one  tokens  to  ten  towns.  Town-pieces  were  issued  in  Bandon, 
Belfast,  Cork,  Dingle,  Dublin,  Dundalk,  Kerry,  Kilkenny,  Kinsale, 
Limerick,  Waterford  and  Youghal. 

The  Irish  tokens  are  very  different  from  those  of  England,  in  being 
generally  of  a  smaller  size,  in  proportion  to  their  value,  and  in  the 
great  preponderance  of  pennies,  many  of  them  being  no  larger  than 
the  smallest  English  farthings ;  the  business  of  the  issuer  is  commonly 
expressed  by  the  word  merchant,  which  is  rarely  found  on  those  of 
England. 

Two  proclamations  were  issued  in  1661,  prohibiting  the  issue  of 
tokens ;  this  will  account  for  the  rarity  of  the  dates  1660,  1661,  and 
1662,  of  which  years  this  list  furnishes  but  two  examples,  viz., 
Hen.  Coker,  of  Drogheda,  1660,  and  Thomas  Cook,  of  Michelstown,

1354   TRADERS'  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

1 66 1.  In  1663  they  seemed  to  have  been  issued  as  before,  and 
were  continued  till  1673,  when,  on  October  17,  a  proclamation  for- 
bade anyone  to  issue  them  without  license  from  his  Majesty ;  this 
seems  to  have  checked  their  circulation.  Probably  about  this  period 
some  of  the  older  tokens  were  counterstruck,  to  make  them  pass  at  a 
lower  value.  There  are  twenty-two  tokens  of  various  dates  from  1673 
to  1679,  but  they  are  of  a  different  style  of  work ;  two  of  them, 
issued  at  Cork  and  Kinsale,  have  inscribed  edges. 

In  1680  Sir  Thomas  Armstrong  obtained  another  patent  from  the 
King  to  make  copper  halfpence.  When  a  sufficient  quantity  had 
been  struck  by  the  patentee,  the  Lord-Lieutenant,  by  a  proclamation, 
declared  them  the  current  coin  of  the  realm,  and  forbade  the  use  of 
traders'  tokens,  and  from  this  time  their  circulation  appears  to  have 
ceased 

Dr.  Aquilla  Smith,  M.R.I.A.,  of  Dublin,  has  most  obligingly  given 
me  descriptions  of  the  principal  portion  of  the  Irish  tokens,  placing 
at  my  disposal  the  whole  of  the  very  valuable  manuscripts  and  the 
stores  of  accumulated  information  on  the  subject,  the  result  of  many 
years  of  labour.  I  am  also  indebted  to  Mr.  J.  Davis  White,  of 
Cashel ;  the  Rev.  Canon  Hayman,  of  Youghal ;  Mr.  R.  Malcolm-

the  Quakers  "  as  having  caused  to  be  apprehended  in  that  year  twelve  Quakers  for 
meeting  together  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  and  he  committed  them  to  prison  till  the

The  Portreve  resided  '*  within  ye  gate,"  and  his  name  is  returned  in  that  district 
of  the  town  now  representing  Dublin  Street  in  a  schedule  to  an  applotment  of 
vestry  cess  made  October  13,  1669,  in  which  he  is  assessed  at  10s.,  being  the  highest

By  a  charter,  dated  April  19,  161 3,  James  I.  granted  certain  privileges  to  the 
inhabitants  of  the  town.  By  the  charter  the  Corporation  was  to  consist  of  *'  the 
portrieve,  free  burgesses,  and  commonalty  of  the  borough  of  Carlow. * 

The  privileges  granted  were  confirmed  by  Charles  II.  by  a  charter  made  in 
1675,  changing  the  style  of  the  Corporation  to  that  of  •*  The  Sovereign*  free 
burgesses,  and  communitie  of  the  borough  of  Cather  lough."

IRELAND.  1365 

James  II.  seized  to  himself  all  the  liberties  and  privileges  of  the  town,  by  a 
decree  of  his  Court  of  Exchequer,  of  his  own  "  special  grace,  certain  knowledge, 
and  mere  motion  " ;  the  charter  granted  by  the  late  King  was  abrogated,  and 
another  granted  in  its  stead,  bearing  date  February  24,  4th  year  of  reign  Jas.  II. 
By  it  the  King  did  "  make,  nominate,  and  constitute  Garrett  Quigley,  merchant, 
to  be  the  first  and  modern  soveraigne  of  the  said  burrough." 

The  Quigleys  were  of  a  Munster  stock,  hailing  from  county  Tipperary,  and  the 
issuer  is  named  upon  the  vestry  assessment  already  quoted.  He  appears  to  have 
resided  in  Dublin  Street,  and,  judging  from  the  amount  of  his  assessment,  probably 
occupied  one  of  the  best  positions  in  the  town. 

He  is  said  to  have  taken  away  the  oak  timber  from  the  castle  of  Carlo  w,  and  with 
it  roofed  the  houses  at  the  Market  Cross  during  the  year  of  his  reign  over  the 
town. 

In  1693,  in  the  vestry  records  of  the  parish  church,  we  find  his  name  appearing 
as  a  donor  of  £10  towards  the  "  repayre  of  the  church,"  which  is  one-third  part 
of  the  entire  amount  raised  by  the  parish. 

The  family  does  not  now  exist  in  Carlow.

In  the  list  of  free  burgesses  previously  referred  to  in  the  charter  of  1675,  the 
name  of  Edward  Reynolds,  gentleman,  appears  fifth  on  the  list.  At  the  time  of 
the  granting  of  this  new  charter  he  filled  the  office  of  deputy-portreve  under  the 
charter  of  James  I.  He  afterwards  became  sovereign  of  the  borough,  and  is 
supposed  to  have  died  between  1686  and  1694.

Peter  Boytcn  is  one  of  the  subscribing  witnesses  to  the  will  of  Edward  MJi  ■'■

appointed  in  1687  by  the  charter  of  James  II.,  and  amongst  those  in  the  marrv 
registry  of  about  that  date. 

In  the  old  cathedral  upon  the  rock  there  is  a  small  shield,  upon  which  are  ?v. 
arms  of  Boy  ton,  three  spur-rowels,  with  the  name  of  Boyton  in  old  English  le:ti:

The  issuer  was  one  of  the  Common  Council  appointed  under  the  charter  above 
mentioned,  and  by  the  same  charter  two  of  the  same  name  were  appointed  Alder- 
men, and  three  of  the  same  name  Common  Councillors,  so  that  evidently  the 
family  was  of  some  importance  at  the  time. 

The  issuer  was  most  probably  connected  with  the  Roman  Catholic  Archbishop  of 
Cashell,  David  Kearney,  who  was  descended  from  a  family  whose  name  was  long 
honourably  connected  with  Cashell,  and  who  was  born  in  1568.  It  is  probable  that 
from  this  dignitary  the  crozier  which  belonged  to  St.  Patrick  came  into  possession  of 
the  Kearney  family,  in  whose  hands  the  precious  relic  remained  until  handed  over 
to  the  late  Most  Rev.  Dr.  Slattery,  Roman  Catholic  Archbishop  of  Cashell ;  and 
it  now  constitutes  a  part  of  the  crozier  in  the  possession  of  the  present  Arch- 
bishop. 

The  relic,  the  authenticity  of  which  can  be  proved  by  legal  evidence,  conferred 
upon  the  family  of  its  possessors  the  proud  title  of  "  Kearney  Crux." 

Monuments  to  various  members  of  the  family  in  Cashell  attest  to  the  importance 
of  its  status  in  the  seventeenth  century.

bequeaths  all  his  property  to  his  wife,  and  appoints  her  sole  executrix.     It  is  dated 

February  6,  1663,  and  probate  was  granted  June  10,  1663.

The  name  of  John  Neve,  sen.,  is  found  as  witness  to  a  will  of  John  Neve,  dated 
1667,  and  a  John  Neaves  was  buried  February  28,  1672. 

The  will  of  John  Neve,  dated  December  25,  1667,  is  in  existence,  and  is 
apposed  to  be  the  will  of  the  issuer  ;  and  the  family  continued  to  reside  in  Cashell 
until  the  year  1820,  when  it  became  extinct  by  death.

The  token  is  very  rare,  and  the  name  has  not  been  found  at  present  in  the 
documents  or  archives  of  Cashell.  There  are  poor  people  of  the  name  of  Pyne 
in  Cashell,  who  are  probably  descended  from  the  issuer.

St.  John's,  May  xo,  1686.

KILKENNY  (Co.  Kilkenny). 

The  notes  on  these  tokens  are  extracted  from  a  valuable  article  by  John  G.  A. 
Prim,  Esq.,  in  the  ••  Transactions  of  the  Kilkenny  Archaeological  Society  "  (vol.  ii., 
p.  159).  If  the  entire  series  of  tokens  were  illustrated  in  a  similar  manner, 
valuable  information  might  be  obtained  relative  to  the  eventful  period  at  which 
they  were  struck.  Now  that  the  antiquities  of  our  native  land  are  better 
appreciated,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  many  provincial  antiquaries  will  follow  Mr.  Prim's 
example ;  as  the  study  of  these  memorials  of  a  past  age  can  only  be  efficiently 
carried  on  by  persons  possessing  an  intimate  knowledge  of  the  localities  in  which 
the  tokens  were  issued.

The  letters  c  .  K.  are  the  initials  of  "  City  of  Kilkenny  "  ;  the  triple-towered 
castle  and  lion  couchant  are  the  city  arms.  This  piece  was  issued  by  the  authority 
of  the  Corporation,  which  at  that  time  exercised  a  supervision  and  control  over 
everything  appertaining  to  the  trade  of  the  city.  The  first  mention  of  tokens  in 
the  Corporation  books  is  under  the  date  August  12,  i6q8,  the  Mayor,  Thomas 
Adams,  presiding,  when  an  "  Acte  touching  Brass  Coyne     was  passed.

The  two  preceding  were  issued  by  the  Corporation  during  the  Mayoralty  of 
Thomas  Adams,  the  year  in  which  he  died.  Further  reference  is  made  to  tokens 
in  the  Corporation  books,  December  12,  1672,  when  a  number  of  resolutions  were 
passed ;  one,  that  Mayor  Adams'  pence  should  go  for  a  farthing ;  another,  that 
such  persons  as  put  out  pence  should  give  bail,  ft  is  evident  from  this  that  tokens 
were  circulated  in  Ireland  after  Charles  II.'s  Proclamation  of  1673  forbidding 
them,  which  is  further  supported  by  the  existence  of  a  few  specimens  issued  after 
this  date.

John  Beavor,  or  Beaver,  as  his  named  is  frequently  spelled,  seems  to  have  been 
a  settler  in  Kilkenny  after  its  subjugation  by  Cromwell,  the  name  not  being 
previously  met  with  in  the  municipal  records.  He  held  the  Puritan  doctrines  intro- 
duced by  the  Parliamentary  soldiers,  as  he  is  returned  as  one  of  the  frequenters  of 
*•  an  unlawful  conventicle,"  after  the  Restoration.  In  1661  he  was  a  member  of 
the  Corporation.  He  was  ordered  by  that  body  in  1667  to  give  security  to  pay  in 
good  money  for  such  tokens  as  were  returned  to  him,  otherwise  they  were  to  be 
cried  down. 

516.  O.  thomas  .  davis  .  kilkeny  =  A  lion's  .head  erased. 

R.   EXCISE  .  OFFIS=  1D.  I 

There  is  a  difficulty  as  to  the  identification  of  the  particular  Thomas  Davis 
who  struck  the  token.  A  muster-roll  of  tbe  militia  at  that  time  raised  in  Kilkenny 
mentions  three  of  the  name ;  one  is  particularly  specified  as  "  Tho.  Davys, 
Taylor,"  who  carried  a  pike  ;  a  second  was  armed  with  a  musket,  and  the  third 
with  a  pike.  A  Thomas  Davis  was  elected  Sheriff  in  1660.  The  family  of  Davis, 
Davys,  or  Davies,  of  Kilkenny,  claim  to  be  of  the  stock  of  Sir  John  Davys, 
Knight,  Marshal  of  Connaught,  temp.  Elizabeth,  descended  through  the  Shrop- 
shire branch  from  tbe  ancient  family  of  Davies  of  Gwassanan,  Flintshire,  who  bore 
fee  their  crest  a  lion's  head  erased,  quarterly  argent  and  sable.

517.  O.   PETER  .  GOODIN  .  OF=lD. 

R.  kilkeny  .  marchant  =  A  fleur-de-lys.  1 

Peter  Goodin  was  Sheriff  of  Kilkenny  in  1657,  and  Mayor  for  two  years 
consecutively  in  1664  and  1665.  The  family  was  very  ancient  in  the  city ;  a  John 
Godyn  was  sovereign  of  the  town  as  early  as  1 3 16.  The  name  was  sometimes 
written  Goodwin. 

518.  O.  richard  .  inwood  =  A  windmill 

R.    IN  .  KILLKENY=1D.  I 

Richard  Inwood  was,  like  Beavor,  a  settler  in  Kilkenny  ;  he  was  an  innkeeper, 
probably  his  house  was  called  the  Windmill.  At  the  commencement  of  the  seven- 
teenth century  the  business  of  an  innkeeper  was  a  rare  one  ;  the  necessity  of  an 
establishment  where  strangers  could  procure  lodging  and  entertainment  was  felt 
so  much  in  Kilkenny,  that  the  Corporation  offered  premiums  to  induce  people  to 
open  hotels.  In  1591  an  annuity  of  forty  shillings  was  granted,  according  to  the 
Red  Book  of  Kilkenny,  to  a  person  for  "  keeping  an  ordinary  for  strangers  " ;  and 
in  1619  an  allowance  of  £$  per  annum  was  given  to  a  person  to  induce  him  to 
"  keep  an  inn  to  entertain  the  Lords  Justices,  and  noblemen  and  gentlemen  coming 
to  the  city."  Bishop  Williams  names  Richard  Inwood,  innkeeper,  amongst  the 
freouenters  of  the  conventicle  in  1661.  He  was  Common  Councilman  in  1667, 
probably  elected  to  that  office  before  the  Restoration,  as  the  order  of  Charles  II., 
for  having  the  oath  of  supremacy  taken  by  all  civic  officials  seems  to  have  been 
for  some  time  a  sad  stumbling-block  in  the  way  of  his  subsequent  advancement  to 
municipal  dignities.  When  elected  Sheriff  in  1668,  he  did  not  take  thewholeoatk 
of  supremacy,  for  which  he  was  summoned  to  show  cause  why  the  fine  should  cot 
be  paid  for  refusing ;  the  termination  of  the  proceedings  is  uncertain,  it  is  only 
known  that  another  person  was  elected  the  same  year.  Whether  Inwood  was  con- 
verted from  dissent  by  the  indefatigable  denunciation,  oral  and  written,  of  Bishop 
Williams,  does  not  appear  ;  but  in  a  few  years  after,  all  his  conscientious  scruples 
about  the  oath  of  supremacy  would  seem  to  have  vanished.  At  a  meeting  of  the 
Corporation  in  167 1,  there  is  an  entry  in  the  White  Book,  to  the  effect  that  Henry 
Cookson,  having  been  elected  Sheriff,  was  called  to  be  sworn,  but  not  appearing, 
he  was  fined  ten  pounds  for  his  default ;  "  Mr.  Richard  Inwood  was  chosen  in  his 
place  and  sworn,  and  he  took  the  oath  of  supremacy."  In  1672  he  was  sworn 
Coroner  of  the  city,  and  again  took  the  previously  obnoxious  oath.

R.  kilkeny  .  goldsmith  =  A  mermaid.  smdl  1 

Keough,  like  many  of  his  contemporaries,  appears  to  have  had  conscientiots 
scruples  about  subscribing  to  the  oath  of  supremacy,  though  whether  as  a  Protes- 
tant Dissenter  or  a  Roman  Catholic  is  uncertain.  He  was  sworn  Master  of  tk 
Company  of  Hammermen,  having  bought  a  dispensation  from  the  Lord-Lieutenant 
and  Council  for  not  taking  the  oath  of  supremacy.  The  population  and  trade  <rf 
Kilkenny  were  so  reduced  by  the  wars  and  disturbances  of  the  fifteenth  and 
sixteenth  centuries,  that  the  Corporation  reduced  the  number  of  trade  companies; 
amongst  the  hammermen  were  included  smiths,  cutlers,  goldsmiths,  and  all  others 
working  with  the  hammer  in  metals.

John  Langton  was  grandson  of  Nicholas  Langton,  who  was  employed  by  tbe 
Corporation  in  1609  to  go  to  London  to  obtain  from  King  James  I.  the  great 
charter,  creating  Kilkenny  a  city.  Nicholas  Langton  built  the  great  stone  house,  bo* 
known  as  the  Butter-slip,  and  also  the  mansion  of  Grenan,  near  Durrow.  Ha 
eldest  son,  James,  had  twenty-five  sons  and  daughters  5  of  these  the  third  was  John, 
the  issuer  of  the  token.

There  were  many  persons  of  this  name  in  trade  in  Kilkenny  in  the  seventeenth 

century.     The  family  was  one  of  great  respectability,  having  for  its  head  the  Baron 

of  Loughmoe,  co.  Tipperary,  but  also  having  several  branches  possessed  of  large 

roperty    in    the    county    of   Kilkenny,    as    those    of   Bally  foil  e,    Foulksratb,

R.    IN  .  KILKENNY  .  1663  =  E  .  R.       1D.  small  I 

The  name  of  Roth  first  appears  in  the  civic  records  in  1403,  when  Thomas 
Roth  was  sovereign  or  Chief  Magistrate  of  the  town.  David  Roth,  Roman 
Catholic  Bishop  of  Ossory,  was  son  of  a  Kilkenny  merchant,  famous  alike  for  the 
part  he  playebf  in  the  politics  and  literature  of  the  first  half  of  the  seventeenth 
century.  In  the  charter  of  James  I.,  which  raised  Kilkenny  to  the  dignity  of  a 
city,  four  of  the  Roth  family  are  nominated  Aldermen. 

Edward  Roth,  who  struck  the  token,  was  Sheriff  in  1651.  On  March  28  of  the 
preceding  year,  when  Cromwell's  besieging  army  was  before  the  city,  he  was  one 
of  the  four  commissioners  nominated  by  the  gallant  governor,  Sir  Walter  Butler, 
to  negotiate  terms  of  surrender  ;  and  for  the  fulfilment  of  the  treaty,  remained  in 
the  camp  of  the  besiegers. 

The  family  suffered  severely  by  its  adherence  to  the  fortunes  of  James  II.,  and 
has  since  died  out  in  Kilkenny.

Edward  Sewell  is  unnoticed  in  the  Corporation  records,  but  a  William  Sewell, 
who  united  the  trades  of  shoemaker  and  butcher,  makes  a  considerable  figure. 
When  the  Kilkenny  trade  companies  were  consolidated,  the  Glovers'  Company  was 
to  consist  of  glovers,  feltmakers,  and  chandlers.

in  office  on  July  19. 

527.  O.    THOMAS  .  TALBOT  .  OF=  lD. 

R.  killkeny  .  vintner  =  The  sun  in  splendour.  i 

Thomas  Talbot  was  in  the  militia  company  amongst  the  contingent  of  pikemen; 
in  the  muster-roll  also  appear  the  names  of  John  Beaver,  Thomas  Davis,  Peter 
Goodwin,  Richard  Inwood,  and  John  Whittle,  all  issuers  of  tokens.  The  com- 
pany appears  to  have  been  composed  of  shopkeepers  and  traders  of  respectability. 

A  Robert  Talbot  built  the  walls  of  Kilkenny  in  1400 ;  the  family  was  highly 
respectable  amongst  the  trading  community.  The  sun  in  splendour  is  part  of  the 
bearings  of  the  Distillers'  Company.

R.    KILKENV  .  MERCHANT  =L  .  I  .  W.       1D.  I 

The  family  of  Wale  or  Wall  was  of  some  standing ;  Lucas  Wale,  being  a  Roman 
Catholic,  could  not  enter  the  Corporation  during  the  reign  of  Charles  II.,  as  the 
oath  of  supremacy  was  an  effectual  bar  against  him.  After  the  accession  of 
James  II.,  matters  were  changed  in  the  first  year  of  his  reign ;  the  Earl  of 
Clarendon,  then  Lord-Lieutenant  of  Ireland,  forwarded  a  letter  to  the  Mayor  and 
citizens  of  Kilkenny,  directing  them  to  elect  Roman  Catholic  freemen  and 
corporators.  This  order  was  unwillingly  complied  with ;  an  entry  in  the  Corpora- 
tion minute  book,  under  date  Julv  2,  1686,  states  that  "seventeen  Papists  were 
sworn  of  the  second  council "  ;  and  on  July  6  "  Luke  Wall,  one  of  the  above,  was 
elected  Sheriff."    He  died  before  he  had  completed  his  year  of  office. 

529.  O.  iohn  .  whittle  .  in  =  The  Commonwealth  Arms. 

R.    KILKENV.   1656  =  1°.  I 

The  family  of  Whittle  was  founded  in  Kilkenny  by  a  soldier  of  Cromwell's 
army,  one  Job  Whittle,  who  lived  to  the  extraordinary  age  of  127  years.  John  was 
son  of  the  patriarch,  whose  cause  he  obviously  espoused,  from  the  circumstance  of 
having  the  Commonwealth  Arms  on  his  token,  which  are  seldom  met  with,  though 
the  Royal  Arms  afier  the  Restoration  are  very  common.  He  filled  the  office  of 
Sheriff  during  part  of  the  year  1664,  and  Coroner  the  ensuing  year.  In  1670  he 
was  admitted  to  the  Common  Council,  having,  as  the  record  expressly  states 
"taken  the  oath  of  supremacy." 

In  1 7 14,  Job  Whittle  was  elected  town  sergeant  to  the  Corporation  of  Irishtown, 
and  his  family  were  for  nearly  two  centuries  hereditary  pound-keepers  of 
St.  Canice's  parish,  having  obtained  a  long  lease  from  the  Corporation.  This 
expired  a  few  years  since,  when  the  present  representative  of  the  Whittles,  a  man 
in  humble  circumstances,  bearing  the  name  of  his  ancestor,  Job,  was  dispossessed 
of  the  office  by  the  Town  Council.

This  token  is  remarkable  from  its  date,  which  is  posterior  to  the  Proclamation 
crying  down  these  pieces,  and  was  evidently  illegally  issued.  In  the  White  Book 
of  the  Corporation,  under  date  December  7,  1677,  is  the  following  entry  : 

•'  The  inscription  of  Mr.  Tobin's  pence  (for  ye  use  and)  with  ye  Cast  ell  on  y* 
side :  on  y°  other  side  (of  y*  inhabitants)  and  within  ye  sirckell  is  written  (Kilkenny 
1677  and  6  littell  stars). 

"  Put  to  y*  vote  whether  y°  above  named  pence  of  Mr.  Edmond  Tobin  should  pass 
or  not.  Then  voted  in  ye  negative  ;  and  ordered  y*  they  should  be  suppressed  or 
not  suffered  to  pass  as  current?' 

Edmond  Tobin  was  a  member  of  the  Merchants*  Guild. 

There  are  a  few  other  Irish  tokens  after  1673,  which  are  of  a  different  style  from 
the  previously  tolerated  if  not  illegal  currency.

By  the  kindness  of  Albert  Wight,  Esq.,  of  Brabceuf  Manor,  near  Guildford,  the 
head  and  representative  of  the  parent-stock  of  the  Wight  family,  we  are  enabled  to 
subjoin  a  long  and  most  interesting  note  relative  to  the  issuer  of  this  token  and  of  his 
family  and  descendants.  The  information  was  compiled  by  A.  Crossley  Hobtrt 
Seymour,  Esq.,  of  Naples,  the  representative  in  the  female  line  of  the  Irish  branch 
of  the  family,  in  January,  1862. 

Edward  Wight,  son  of  Thomas  Wight,  of  Braboeuf  Manor,  near  Guildford,  accom- 
panied General  lreton  to  Ireland,  and,  settling  in  Limerick,  was  elected  Sheriff  of 
that  city  in  1676,  and  served  the  office  of  Mayor  in  1694,  and  again  in  1711- 
During  his  occupancy  of  the  civic  chair,  money  became  very  scarce  in  Limerick, 
and  an  Act  was  passed  authorising  him  to  have  coin  struck  at  the  Limerick  Mint 
In  Ferrar's  "  History  of  Limerick  "  there  is  a  lengthened  history  of  the  Wight*, 
and  an  accurate  description  of  the  money  which  was  coined  at  that  time,  with  the 
Arms  of  Limerick  on  one  side,  the  Arms  of  Wight  on  the  other  side,  and  the 
name  of  "Edward  Wight,"  Mayor.  Several  of  these  tokens  were  in  tb< 
possession  of  Frances  Wight,  his  daughter,  but  during  the  troubles  of  1798,  the 
rebels  helped  themselves  to  everything  they  could  lay  their  hands  upon. 

Some  years  after  Edward  Wight  was  elected  Mayor  of  Limerick,  he  returned  to 
England,  and  brought  back  with  him  to  Ireland  eleven  sisttrs,  all  of  whom  married 
into  the  most  respectable  families  amongst  the  English  settlers  in  the  city  aoo 
county  of  Limerick,  and  the  county  of  Clare  ;  and  in  the  records  that  remain,  ** 
find  the  names  of  Tierney,  Pike,  Piggot,  Hobart,  Nicholson,  Stevens,  Daxoa. 
Hickman  (from  whom  the  present  Lord  Charlemont  descends),  HartweJI  (froa* 
whom  the  present  Baronet  of  that  name  descends),  Holland  (from  whom  the  1*** 
Sir  Gore  Ouseley,  Bart.,  and  Sir  William  Ouseley,  descend),  and  Odell  (grandfather 
of  the  late  William  Odell,  Esq.,  many  years  representative  of  the  county  of 
Limerick  in  the  Irish  Parliament).

The  descendants  of  those  families  are  amongst  the  most  respectable  and 
influential  in  the  South  of  Ireland.  The  intermarriages  between  the  Wights, 
Hobarts,  and  Seymours  from  that  period  to  the  present  day  have  been  most 
frequent,  and  for  several  successive  generations  first  cousins  have  married  first 
cousins,  thereby  confining  their  immediate  connexions  too  much  within  their 
own  circle. 

The  eldest  son  of  Edward  Wight  was  named  Rice  Wight,  after  several  members 
of  the  Braboeuf  family.     He  hail  a  son  John  Wight,  whose  line  became  extinct.

cousin   Mary,   daughter  of  the  Rev.  William  John   Bowen,  of 
Bowen's  Court ;  and  had  one  son,   Edward,   and  a  daughter,

Mary  Rice,  married  to  Sir  Aubrey  de  Vere,  Bart,  of  Curragh.

beautified  in  1752.  He  left  two  sons  by  Miss  Ingram,  niece  of  Dr.  Arthur  Smyth, 
Archbishop  of  Dublin,  of  the  family  of  the  present  Lord  Gert :  Rev.  John  Hoarr, 
who  married  Rachel,  daughter  of  Sir  Edward  Newenham  ;  and  Rev.  William 
Hoare,  who  married  Miss  Guinness,  sister  of  Arthur  Guinness,  Esq.,  of 
Beaumont. 

The  second  wife  of  Edward  Wight  was  Miss  Bindon,  daughter  of  Alderman 
Henry  Bindon,  but  by  her  he  had  no  issue.

children,  Rath  Wight  Jones,  died  on  the  passage,  when  her  mortal  remains  were 
fastened  to  a  shutter,  with  a  stone  attached  to  her  feet,  and,  after  the  funeral 
service  was  read,  and  a  hymn  sung,  were  committed  to  the  deep.

The  word  "  them  "  in  this  token  is  in  type  very  considerably  smaller  than  the 
rest  of  the  token.

R.  his  .  farthing  =  tc.  conjoined.     167 1. 

Thomas  Cooke  wrote  a  history  of  the  town,  and  was  Mayor  of  it  repeatedly. 
On  this  account  the  token  is  claimed  for  Youghall,  though  the  town  is  not  named 
on  it.  No.  637  is  believed  to  be  by  the  same  issuer,  as  the  initials  of  this  name 
are  conjoined  in  similar  fashion,  and  this  monogram  may  probably  have  been  his 
trade-mark. 

Mitchellstown  and  Youghall  are  both  in  co.  Cork.

The  heraldic  bearings  of  this  token,  the  shield  with  the  saltire,  and  the  ape  as 
crest,  would  apparently  denote  the  issuer's  descent  from  the  old  feudal  suzerains  of 
Youghall,  the  Gerald ines. 

A  John  Gerald  served  as  Bailiff  of  Youghall  in  1671  and  1672,  and  was  buried 
May  3,  1683. 

764.  O.  Florence  .  giles  .  of  =  A  griffin  rampant. 

R.    THE  .  TOWNE  .  OF  .  YAHALL=  F  .  G. 

This  family  came  to  Youghall  from  Bowden,  in  Devonshire,  about  the  middle  of 
the  seventeenth  century.  Four  anterior  descents  are  given  in  the  Devon  visitation 
of  1620.  At  Youghall  they  were  seated  in  the  old  colleges,  and  always  maintained, 
both  in  town  and  county,  a  high  patrician  place.  The  issuer  is  supposed  to  be  a 
female,  and  to  be  the  person  referred  to  in  the  following  entry  in  the  parish 
register : 

"  167 1,  Januarie  6th,  Mrs.  fflorences  Gyles,  widdow,  was  buried.*'

The  issuer  was  of  a  Devon  family  seated  at  Combmartin,  on  the  borders  of

The  name  of  Hibbard  is  unknown  in  the  neighbourhood,  while  that  of  Hubbard 
is  common,  and  the  token  is,  therefore,  supposed  to  be  the  issue  of  a  Walter  Hubbert, 
gent.,  whose  baby's  baptism  was  entered  November  3,  1668.  This  individual 
served  as  Bailiff  of  Youghall  in  1676.    The  token  is  extremely  rare.

R.    IN  .  YOVGHALL  =  T  .  I. 

The  name  is  of  common  occurrence  in  Youghall,  but  it  has  not  been  found

This  family  claimed  kindred  with  the  Reformer,  and  were  large  landed 
proprietors  in  Essex,  and  representatives  of  the  county  in  Parliament. 

John  Luther,  born  in  Essex  1623,  settled  at  Youghall  about  1650,  and  married 
the  daughter  of  Richard  and  Florence  Giles,  referred  to  under  764-  He  served  as 
Bailiff  in  1659,  and  Mayor  in  1666  and  1 68 1,  and  in  the  latter  year  erected  a 
dwelling-house  in  Windmill  Lane,  bearing  a  tablet  with  his  initials  and  date, 
which,  in  1858,  was  still  standing,  and  in  good  condition. 

He  was  appointed  Alderman  under  the  new  charter  in  1688,  and  Commissioner 
of  Poll-tax  in  1697,  but  in  that  year  died  of  fever  on  December  18,  aged  74,  and 
was  buried  in  the  nave  of  St.  Mary's  Collegiate  Church. 

770.  O.  edward  .  LAWNDEY  =  The  Fishmongers'  Arms. 

J?.    IN  .  YAVGHALL  =  E  .  L, 

This  issuer  was  of  a  London  family,  served  as  Bailiff  of  Youghall  in  1669,  and 
was  three  times  chosen  as  Mayor,  in  the  years  167 1,  1672,  and  1679. 

In  1672,  June  24,  he  leased  from  the  Corporation  a  plot  of  ground  near  the 
Watergate,  and  upon  it  erected  the  Exchange  of  Youghall.  In  1672-73, 
February  26,  he  leased  from  members  of  the  Renayne  family  other  pieces  of 
ground  in  the  vicinity,  and  built  several  houses  upon  them  ;  and  in  1674,  May  28, 
he  took  from  the  Corporation  ground  near  the  Exchange,  reaching  towards  the 
water,  and  here  he  made  a  spacious  quay.  Linely,  in  his  "  Irish  Tour  of  1681," 
speaking  of  Youghall,  says  : 

"  The  harbour  is  very  sure  and  safe.  The  chiefest  trader  and  richest  merchant 
of  the  town  is  one  Mr.  Lawndey,  who  erected  an  additional  wharf,  and  hath  built 
and  contributed  much  to  the  decoration  of  the  town  by  fair  houses  thereon 
towards  ye  Black  water." 

Mr.  Lawndey  was  drowned  in  his  passage  to  England,  August  18,  1693.  By 
Agnes  his  wife,  sister  of  John  Merrick,  of  Youghall,  he  left  four  sons,  and  died 
"seised  of  considerable  real  and  personal  estates."

1424    TRADERS*  TOKENS  OF  THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 

Sir  William  Dick  was  Lord  Provost  of  Edinburgh,  and  a  very  eminent  merchant, 
with  a  fortune  of  upwards  of  £50,000.  Having  the  means,  he  did  not  want  the 
inclination  to  assist  his  countrymen,  the  Covenanters,  with  large  sums  of  money  to 
defray  the  necessary  expenses  of  the  war  ;  but  they  failing  in  their  payments,  he  so  far 
overstrained  his  credit,  that  his  bills  were  returned  protested,  and  he  was  totally 
ruined.  He  thereupon  earnestly  applied  for  relief  to  the  Parliaments  of  England 
and  Scotland.  According  to  his  state  of  the  account,  there  were  due  to  him  from 
England  £36,803  ;  from  Scotland,  £28,131 ;  in  all,  £64,934,  for  the  payment  of 
which  he  had  warrants  granted  on  the  Chamber  of  London  in  1641  ;  on  the 
English  Customs  in  1643  and  1644  ;  on  the  cavaliers'  estates  in  1646  ;  and  on  the 
excise  of  wine,  in  Scotland,  1651.  It  appears  by  Lord  Loudon's,  the  Chancellor  of 
Scotland,  letters  to  the  English  House  of  Commons,  and  to  the  Commissioners  of 
London,  1644,  tnat  there  was  a  clear  balance  due  to  Dick  of  £34,000  from  that 
nation.  Notwithstanding  these  warrants  for  repayment,  and  the  application  of  the 
Scots  to  their  brethren  in  England,  he  had  only  recovered  £1,000  in  1653,  after 
sixteen  years'  solicitation,  during  which  time  he  was  reduced  to  so  great  straits, 
that  he  was  arrested  for  some  small  debts  contracted  for  his  necessary  subsistence, 
and,  as  it  seems,  died  in  prison  December  19,  1655,  aged  75. 

This  token  is  of  good  workmanship,  thicker  and  heavier  than  the  usual  seven- 
teenth century-tokens,  which  it  must  have  preceded  by  a  few  years.

INDEX    VI. 


INDEX   OF    VALUES. 

It  has  not  been  found  possible  to  prepare  this  Index,  which  was  announced  in 
Vol.  I.  In  very  many  instances  the  value  of  the  token  does  not  appear  00  its  fece, 
and  there  are  eccentricities  of  size  which  prevent  the  adoption  of  any  fixed  rale  to 
determine  the  value.  In  Ireland  especially  it  was  found  that  an  Index  of  values 
would  be  most  difficult  of  preparation  as  the  bulk  of  the  tokens  appear  to  have 
been  current  for  a  penny  whilst  equivalent  in  size  to  those  passing  in  England  for 
a  farthing.  Very  many  correspondents  in  sending  in  descriptions  omitted  to  pat 
any  mark  of  supposed  value  to  the  tokens,  which  increased  the  difficulty  of  cata- 
loguing. As  a  rule  those  marked  on  their  face  as  halfpenny  tokens  are  so 
designated  in  the  book ;  but  to  group  the  series  into  the  three  orders  of  penny, 
halfpenny  and  farthing  was  not  possible.    . 

Special  values  will  be  found  under  the  Index  of  Peculiarities,  No,  VIII.

INDEX    VII. 


TRADES, 


As  a  general  rule  the  issuers  of  tokens  do  not  define  their  trade  upon  their 
pieces.  In  many  cases  the  trade  is  determined  by  the  presence  of  the  arms  of 
the  craft  guild  (see  Index  of  Devices).  In  some  instances  the  trade  is  denoted, 
and  those  trades  which  are  uf  special  interest  and  unusual  occurrence  are  here 
detailed.  It  is  believed  that  all  the  trades  referred  to  are  mentioned  in  this  Index, 
but  to  economise  space  reference  figures  are  not  given  to  those  crafts  which  occur 
constantly  and  frequently. 

Almost  all  the  craft  guiHs  still  existing,  and  many  of  those  that  have  ceased  to 
exist,  as  the  Pinners'  and  Webbers',  will  be  found  to  possess  representatives  in  this 
Index. 

Where  the  trade  is  not  so  mentioned  its  distinguishing  device  denoting  it 
may  often  be  found  in  the  Index  of  Devices  (?.#.). 

The  numbers  refer  to  pages.
