THE SAD FORTUNES OF SOME OF THE CLERGY WHO
ONCE LIVED NEAR SALISBURY PLAIN.

This paper is a note on local tragedies, the memory of
which is passing away, and it is certainly not perfect, for there
is a tradition that either a vicar or a curate of Figheldean
was murdered, but who he was, and when he lived, no one as

1 In an article on Bishop Metford's tomb in Salisbury Cathedral
(Ancestor, no. 12, p. 147), the Rev. E. E. Dorling remarks " strangely enough
post reformation practice represents her almost invariably as holding a
sceptre in her (the Virgin's) left hand. In this shield, done in the days of
the old faith, she holds no sceptre, but a rudely carved object that has
somewhat the appearance of a rose." May not this " rudely carved object"
be the base of a sceptre, which has been lost or destroyed ?

yet has told me. Perhaps the stories, grave or gay, of some
other district, may appear in W. N. &> O.

In 1530 William Byrde was Rector of Fittleton and Vicar
of Bradford ; he was also chaplain to Lord Hungerford.
Cromwell had been then, for several years, the supreme
Minister of Henry VIII, and was a well-hated man by most
men, especially by the nobility. He thought it necessary for
the security of his government to maintain an army of spies,
and by one of these, no doubt, he was informed that Byrde
had said to a man who was going to serve under the King
against the northern rebels, "I am sorry thou goest : seest
thou not how the King plucketh down images and abbeys
every day. And if the King go thither himself he will never
come home again." And that another time, one saying, "I
ween that all the world will be heretics in a little while"; Byrde
said, "Dost thou marvel at this — the great master of all is a
heretic, and such an one as there is not his like in the world."
Byrde was small game, but then he was chaplain to Lord
Hungerford, and Cromwell was ruthless in his dealings with
nobles. The peer was attainted for that he, knowing Byrde to
be a traitor, did entertain him in his house as a chaplain, and
that he, with others, used conjuring that they might know how
long the King should live, and whether he should be victorious
over his enemies or not. Lord Hungerford lost his head, and
Byrde was attainted. Whether the fall of Cromwell delayed
his execution or not is uncertain, but later in the year a man
named Byrde suffered the awful penalty for treason. This
story is more fully told in Wilts Archaeological Magazine^
vols. iii and v.

After the scare of 1587, when the Queen held a council to
consider what England must do to meet the preparations which
Philip of Spain was making for our invasion, there must have
been a general feeling of unrest throughout the country.
Billmen, and Archers, and Pikemen would be called out for

practice in every Wiltshire parish. For although muskets, arid

small guns called calivers, were replacing bows, agricultural
labourers would know little about the use of gunpowder.
Trained men would be wanted from all places near Stone-
henge, when a night should be lighted up by a blaze on
Beacon hill. Libeas Manners of Durrington, Miller of Chol-
ston, and Mathew of Bulford, were among those appointed to
rouse the sleepers in the villages. And then there came the
June Sunday when Elizabeth's heart-stirring proclamation was
read in the churches : — " Forasmuch as we find the same
intention, not only of invasion but of making also a conquest
of our realm as a matter fully resolved on — an army already
put to sea for that purpose — Every man's particular estate in
the highest degree is to be touched — country, liberty, wife,
children, lands, life ; and not least the true and sincere religion
of Christ." And then she appealed to the good-will of loyal
hearts. Now Lewis Rice, the vicar, would read this appeal to
his parishioners in Durnford church. His two squires,
Errington and Edward Young, may, as mounted men, have
followed Lord Hertford from Amesbury to the Queen at
Tilbury, but as the Wiltshire militia were slowly assembled to
march to Portland, it is probable that Rice went with them to
the Dorset coast. But no Spanish ships remained at Portland
when the Wiltshiremen reached it ; and harvest called them
home. Why Rice lagged one cannot tell, perhaps he was ill,
but he was last seen at Amesbury on August 2oth. The
Durnford villagers do not seem to have been troubled when
their vicar did not appear at church on the 25th, or on the
following Sunday, but when he was absent two more Sundays
their indifference ceased, or perhaps some wanted banns pub-
lished. He had certainly left Amesbury on a Tuesday, and he
had not been seen at Salisbury market. Then they searched,
and found his body by the Amesbury way, probably among
the reeds near the river bank. And they buried him on
Tuesday, iyth September, exactly a month after the day on
which they said that he met with death.

Boscombe is, of course, best known as the little parish
where Richard Hooker lived when he resigned the office of
Master of the Temple, and began to write his great work. It
must then have been, as it is now, a small place ; but it had
then, as it has not now, two families of some importance, the
Cliffords of long descent, and the Kents, who must have risen
when the Abbey of Amesbury fell. The rectory lies close to
the church in the valley, and on the same low level. In 1632,
while Hooker must have been still remembered there, there
came to the rectory James White, and Judith his wife. They
certainly had two girls and a boy, perhaps more children, but
the register is wanting ; nor can it be told how long the
children lived. White was a zealous churchman, for when a
parliamentary enquiry was made, about 1650, it was reported
not only that he preached and catechised, but of him alone in
the deanery that he read the Common Prayer on Sunday and
twice in the week. At the Restoration he was fitly made a
prebendary, and the neighbouring rectory of Newton Tony
was given to him. But whether he was overweighted, or
whether he found more trouble than he expected in his new
parish, where Colonel Fiennes, lately of Cromwell's house of
peers was squire now, none can tell ; but in 1661 White com-
mitted suicide. Let us hope that Judith had gone before.

There had always been a tradition that a rector of
Boscombe had hanged himself in one of the gloomy closets in
a gloomy bedroom in the rectory ; and I had supposed that
that rector was James White. Perhaps it was. But singu-
larly enough there is another unhappy candidate, of whom
nothing remains but a name.

The contemporary rector of Collingbourn Ducis recorded
in his register that Mr. West, rector of Boscombe, on account
of his bonds and debts, so mistrusted himself and despaired
about his affairs that the miserable man sought refuge in death,
most disgracefully hanging himself on the 23rd day of
December, 1707. Robert West had been rector 24 years.

Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

The greater part of the eighteenth century was a period
in which the Church generally had no vigorous life. Many of
the beneficed clergy were pluralists, and they were not
generally liberal to the curates who served the parishes where
they themselves never resided. Allington adjoins Boscombe,
and it, too, had a very small church, and a very small population.
At the beginning of George Ill's reign Mr. Sealey, then an old
man, was the non-resident rector. Now there had been for
several years a curate of Amesbury named William Garston.
Amesbury was another parish served by successive curates.
Garston ceased to be curate of Amesbury in 1763. Perhaps
he had served Allington before ; he was then certainly in
charge of Allington. I venture to decide that, like some
of his successors, he was lodged in the parsonage house,
occupied by the farmer of the rectorial glebe. Having little
to do in Allington, Mr. Garston officiated at weddings and
baptisms in other parishes, and was probably a sociable
man. I have found no record of his name after 1765; and
in 1767 Mr. Sealey died, and Mr. Rowland Berkeley became
rector, therefore Mr. Garston's death was in 1765 or 1766.
Nothing is left to show. The tradition is this, there was a
baptism at Allington, and, a christening party following, they
adjourned to Newton Tony, about a mile, and were not sober
on their return. On their homeward road they quarrelled, and
Garston was flung over a low wall ; perhaps they were sitting
on it. They picked him up, and finding that he was dead threw
his body into a well. To screen themselves they gave out that
the parson had gone to visit his friends. The story must either
be to some extent conjecture, or bits of it must gradually have
come out. Suspicion rests on the unhappy man's landlord ;
surely he must have been one of the part}'. Otherwise one
cannot understand how enquiry was stifled, for it seems that
none was made, and yet Garston must have been a well-
known man. Once there was a chance of learning more, but
it was lost. It must have been forty or fifty years after the
murder that the last survivor of the party, an old woman, was

Sad Fortunes of Clergy. 7

dying at Newton Tony, and she sent for the rector, saying that
she would confess to him. Most unfortunately the rector was
afflicted with so much nervousness that he dreaded to go
alone, and persuaded himself that a magistrate must witness
the confession of a crime. And then he made another blunder
in his choice, the magistrate, for some unknown reason, was
generally known as " Devil Duke". Mr. Price and his com-
panion were talking as they passed the cottage window, and
the old woman, hearing his voice, cried out, "that Devil Duke
shall never get anything out of my backbone". And so died,
persisting that she had nothing to say.

The next story was given to me by the late Mr. W. C.
Kemm, of Amesbury; it was related to him by Mr. J. C. Case,
of a past generation (died 1852). Mr. Case's father dined with
Mr. Christopher Ingram at Countess, Amesbury. in 1780. It
should be added that it was a christening party, and the parish
register supplies the day, November 7 ; and the names,
Christopher, son of Christopher and Mary Ingram. There
were thirteen at table. Soon after dinner began Mrs. Ingram
wanted some article which was beyond her reach, and her
husband would have risen to get it for her, but she laid hold of
his coat and kept him seated. Mr. Charles Clement, who had
been curate of Amesbury for five years, was one of the party,
and he at once rose and supplied the want. Not long after,
apparently early in December, Mr. Clement was shooting in
company with the Rev. W. Rees, who seems to have been his
successor in the curacy, in South Hams, near Norrnanton,
when he was accidentally shot by Rees and shortly expired.
He was buried in front of the reading-desk, which then stood
at the north-east corner of the nave. Mr. Rees officiated in
Amesbury church on the tenth evening of the month, and
when in the course of the psalms he came to the words, "It
was even thou, my companion," &c., the poor man broke down,
and the service ended there. There are two oaks, said Mr.
Kemm, and formerly there was a third, near the spot where

Mr. Clement was shot. The meadows were then much smaller
than now, and were divided by hedgerows, and the land
adjacent is still called by workmen "Clement's mead", it is that
adjoining Andrews' mead.

But the fatality is the more remarkable because Clement
was a successor in a curacy held for seven years by William
Garston, who was slain near Allington a few years before.

I have only one story of the nineteenth century, and that
of the early part, for later and nearer times are likely to be in
remembrance, but the murder of Nicholas Westcombe,1 one of
my predecessors, is utterly forgotten. And yet that murder
only took place in 1813. So much for tradition ! When the
present Dean of Durham, Dr. Kitchin, was Dean of Win-
chester, he very kindly allowed me to search the chapter books
for notices of Durrington, of which the Dean and Chapter
hold the advowson.

It appeared there that at Midsummer, 1814, twenty
guineas were voted to Mrs. Westcombe on account of dilapida-
tions at Durrington, and that, in conformity with the order of
November 1813, the Treasurer was ordered to pay Mr.
Woodham's bill, relative to the discovery of Mr. Westcombe's
murder, when the charges were completed.

My supposition that all stories of the place had been
related to me which were known to the elders of the parish
was destroyed. As only two parishioners remained who could
have been twelve years old at the time of Westcombe's death,
I at once consulted them, but they disclaimed all knowledge of
the matter, and one of them said, it must be a newspaper
story.

True enough there was a story in the Salisbury and

College, Oxford, plab., 13 Dec. 1763, set. 19; B.A. of New College 1768,

Records of Wiltshire Parishes.

Winchester Journal of 1813. The body of Mr. Westcombe
was found on Saturday, 28th August, between nine and ten in
the morning, near Winchester, where he lived. It was in a
pathway leading to the Andover road. A soldier of the io2nd
Regiment, named Glasse, said that he had passed the body
earlier in the day, but had supposed that it was a man asleep.
It did not appear in evidence that it was known when Mr.
Westcombe went out, and it was at first supposed that
apoplexy had caused death. But further examination showed
a bruise from a severe blow under the jaw, and that his watch
and money were missing. Taunton, a Bow Street runner,
was employed in vain. Suspicion fell on Glasse, whose
accounts of himself were contradictory, and who was known
to have threatened the life of a woman. The coroner's jury
returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Glasse, but no
corroborative evidence was forthcoming, the lost watch could
not be found, and at the Lent Assizes the grand jury ignored
the Bill against the prisoner. The murder remained a

mystery.

WILTSHIRE QUAKERS IN AMERICA.

When in Philadelphia this year (1904) I made some search
in Friends' Libraries to supplement the information given on
page 139, as to Wilts Quakers in Pennsylvania, and the part
they took in founding that State.

- Cope, ancestor of the Philadelphia family of the
same name, was from Kennett, Wilts, or elsewhere in the
parish of Avebury. He appears to have been a tailor, but
there is no evidence confirmatory in Avebury records. It is
not certain he was a Quaker in England.

John Bezer, a Commissioner, and later a Justice of the
Peace. He was one of Penn's first Commissioners to fix on
the site of the proposed city — Philadelphia.

Richard Hilliard, Mary his wife, Richard and Philip sons,
John Witt, servant — probably from Alderbury, near Salisbury,
where there is yet the remains of a Quaker burial ground.
The Hilliards were probably convinced by Catherine Evans,
who preached in Salisbury Market Place about 1654. She was
whipped on the bare back for her trouble. Was afterwards
imprisoned in the Inquisition at Malta, from whence she wrote to
her husband, a merchant in Bristol, n mo. (Nov.) 1661 : — "Our
dear love to E. H., with her husband and children at Alder-
bury."

22 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Richard Tucker, from Warminster, settled at Darby, Pa.,
1683.

Francis Smith (mentioned on page 140) bought 500 acres
of land.

John Gibbons arrived from Warminster, 1681.

Joel Bailey was supposed to have come from Wilts.

Daniel Bailey, Bromham, bought land, but did not come.

William Beale, from Calne, 1728.

Jonathan Tyler, of Wilts, 1695, twenty-six years of age,
travelled three years in America as a preacher, and convinced
many.

Ralph Withers, from Bishop's Cannings. In 1683 he was
a member of the first Provincial Committee. He appears to
have been a Friend in 1657, and to have signed the Epistles
from London Yearly Meeting in 1675 and 1681.

Wm. Coole, of Devizes, writing to his sister Sarah, widow
of Wm. Bezer, 1683, says: — " I sent letters when John Gibbens,
Robert Pile, and Edward Bezer went."

One Hickman wrote letters to some early settlers from
Marlborough, Wilts. One, dated 6 Feb. 1684, to Wm. Hitch-
cock. A Francis Hickman and wife had arrived before Nov.
27th, 1685.

Godwin Walter is noted as being in Wilts, 1685, and three
months later had arrived in Pennsylvania.

John Taylor, supposed to have come from Wiltshire in
1684.

Some of the names above are found among the records of
Friends who suffered for their religious principles in Wilts. I
think the inference suggested by the incomplete records of
arrivals from Wilts is that our county may claim a consider-
able share in Wm. Penn's experiment across the seas. The
character of the settlers may be inferred from the statement of
Bancroft : — "Not a drop of Quaker blood was ever shed by an

Indian."

Robert Eyre (afore mentioned) succeeded to the Little
or West Chaldfield Mansion House estate, whilst his eldest
half brother, Sir John, inherited Great Chaldfield. He mar.
Elizabeth, dau. of Edward Warre, of Chipley, Somerset, and
was bur. at Chaldfield July loth, 1651. Robert Eyre took the
side of the King in the Civil Wars, and acted on King
Charles' Commission to press men and raise money for the
Royal Army.

He submitted to the Parliament in April 1645, when he
took the two oaths and paid ;£ioo for his personal estate, and
other sums on account, for his real estate, to the Wilts Com-
mittee. He seems to have been dealt with lightly, and having
compounded already for his personal estate, he was on
December nth, 1648, fined the sum of ,£420.

He stated before the Commissioners that "He is seised in
the manor of West Chaldfield, remainder to six sons in suc-
cession, then to his brother Henry." Of these six sons Hoare
mentions only one, namely, another Robert Eyre, who suc-
ceeded him at Little Chaldfield, mar. Elizabeth [— — ], and
had issue as follows : —

i. Francis Eyre, bapt. i6th Dec. 1671.

Eyre of New Sarum ("Eyre of ye Cheesecross").— John
Eyre of Wedhampton, by his second wife Jane, dau. of John
Cusse of Broughton Gifford, Wilts (see p. 563), had 4 sons : —

(3.) William Eyre mar., 26th Aug. 1563, Ann Chaffin.
(4.) John Eyre, Mayor of New Sarum 1567, mar., i4th
Aug. 1565, Sybel Chaffin.

Robert Eyre mar. Jane, widow of George Tourney of New
Sarum, and settled at Salisbury as a merchant. In 1540 we
find that he and Thomas Sembarbe were the principal buyers
of the lead stripped off the roof of the Church of the dissolved
nunnery at Amesbury in 1541, and he bought property from
Sir Henry Longe, in Castle Street He was M.P. for Salisbury
or New Sarum in 1557, and Mayor in 1559. He left one son,
Thomas Eyre of New Sarum, who held lands in Wimborne,
Dorset, 2ist year of Elizabeth, was, like his father, Mayor of
Salisbury in 1587, and mar. Elizabeth, dau. ot John Rogers of
Poole, of the ancient family of Rogers of Brianston, Dorset,
and sister of Robert Rogers, who founded the almshouses in
Cripplegate, London, and also left large charities in Poole.
Thomas Eyre was Churchwarden, with Richard Gauntlett, of
the parish of Sarum St. Thomas in 1574-1575, in which church
he was buried on loth Sept. 1628, his wife having predeceased
him. In the south chancel aisle of St. Thomas' there is a
painted alabaster monument to the memory of Elizabeth Eyre.
It represents Thomas and Elizabeth Eyre kneeling at a desk,
face to face, in prayer, and bears this inscription : —

Below the principal figures are ranged the children,
bearded sons and bonnetted daughters, facing one another in
prayer.

This monument is not the only memorial in St. Thomas'
to Elizabeth Eyre, as there is a Rhyming Brass, now hidden
away beneath the choir stalls, which runs as follows : —

MISCELLANEA.

The Beckford Sale at Fonthill in 1823.— Accommodation
for purchasers was provided in a pavilion in the park, beds
being charged 35. 6d. single, and 55. double. A contemporary
notice in the Times says : "He is fortunate who finds a vacant
chair within twenty miles of Fonthill. Not a farmhouse, how-
ever humble, not a cottage near Fonthill, but gave shelter to
fashion, to beauty, and rank. Ostrich plumes, which, by their
very waving, we can trace back to Piccadilly, are seen nodding
at a casement window over a depopulated poultry yard." This
sale occupied forty-one days, and many curiosities were dis-
posed of, such as a set of ebony chairs from Cardinal Wolsey's
palace at Esher, and Tippo Sahib's jade hookah, set in jewels,
taken as plunder from his palace at Seringapatam.

I have in my possession a little tract with the following
title page: — A | Narrative | of certain ] Facts, related by Mr.
Lawrence, | Of the Bear Inn, Devizes ; | respecting | His
Several Conferences, at j London and Winchester | with the
Author of late Fires at | Portsmouth and Bristol. London.
Printed for T. Evans, near York buildings, Strand. 1777.

The Author of the Fires was the notorious Jack the
Painter; he was hanged at Portsmouth, loth March 1777, for
wilfully setting fire to the Rope House in the King's-yard there
on the 7th Dec. 1776. The gibbet used was the mizen-mast of
the Arethusa frigate, then in dock, and was 64^ feet high. The
body was afterwards hanged in chains on Block-house-Point
at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbour.

The author of the Tract was the father of that "wonderful
boy", who afterwards became Sir Thomas Lawrence, and

President of the Royal Academy.

his wife came from Wiltshire; they appear in the Massa-.

reason to think the}r came over somewhat earlier. They had
five or six children, of whom Humphrey and Thomas were
the sons, the latter being born in 1641, but whether in this
country or in England I have been unable to learn. Any in-

old days there was a rough shelter on the limits of every

maps". Is this really the origin of the phrase ?

44 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

like to correct the pedigree as given on page 417, which per-
haps T. G. J. H. may not have noticed can now be found in
Part III, p. 178, of Inquisitions lately issued by the Wilts
Archaeological Society.

On page 178 is a Writ and Inquisition dated 12 Edward I
(1284), touching the heir of Wyganus de Chireburgh. It
appears from these documents that there were two claimants,
both named John, and the evidence given goes to prove that
Wyganus had two wives, the first (presumably) was Ellen,
daughter of Philip de la Leye, to whom he was married at
Effingham, cp. Surrey, and by whom he had a son John, whom
the jurors ultimately found to be the true heir of Wyganus.

The second wife was Cristiana, daughter of Richard [de
Bosco], of Cheddeworth, co. Gloucester, whom he married at
Cheddeworth, and by whom he also had a son named John.

There thus being two sons both bearing the same name,
both sons of Wyganus, accounts for the discrepancy in the ages
given on pp. 151 and 152, and it may therefore be reasonably
concluded that the true heir John (son by Ellen de la Leye) was
the one aged 24 years and more in 1283, whilst the other John
(by Cristiana de Bosco) was the one aged 21 in 1282.

The pedigree would therefore now appear to be as follows :

Philip de la Leye. John de Chyrebury, Inq. Richard de Bosco, of

P. M., 1269, p. 52, held Cheddworth, co.
lauds in Seend. Glouc.

In Vol. iv, p. 414, of W. N. &> Q., there appears a note on
De Chereburgh of Seend, based on Vols. i and ii of the Wilts

De Chyrebury of Seend. 45

Inquisitions now being published by the Wilts Archaeological
Society.

From Vol. ii (p. 150), we learn that Wyganus de Chere-
burgh died in 1283, and that his son John, by Christiana, dau.
of Richard de Bosco, of Cheddeworth, co. Gloucester, was his
next heir; the said John being married and having issue, and
being 24 years old and more.

From another Inquisition held in the same year we find
that John, son of the said Wyganus, was the next year being
21 years old, and no further particulars are given.

Evidently there must have been some mystery in the
family history of de Cherburgh of Seend, for in Vol. iii of the
Wilts L P. M. the matter crops up again. In 1284, the heir of
Wyganus is still wanted ; and it appears there were two
claimants for the manor of Seend, viz. : (i) John, son of
Wygan, by Ellen, dau. of Philip de la Leye, married at Effing-
ham, co. Surrey, and (2) John, son of said Wygan, by
Christiana de Cheddeworth, co. Gloucester.

As the result of an enquiry held at Devizes before a very
full jury, it was decided that John, son of Ellen de la Leye,
was the next heir. Further records may show that this person
died without issue, and that in consequence the Manor of
Seend escheated to the King, and was granted to Uespenser,
who held it at the date of Nomina Villarum (1316).

Meanwhile, the unfortunate John, son of Christiana the
second wife, was disinherited, and one wonders what was
the real history of the business. One thing may be noted, and
that is the pains taken to ascertain the truth. At the enquiry
held in 1284, out of the fourteen jurors I cannot identify a
single individual as a near neighbour of the deceased Wygan.
Whereas at one of the Inquests, held in 1283, no less than nine
out of twelve appear to be Melksham men. It may be pre-
sumed that this last jury was thought to have been prejudiced
by ties of friendship or neighbourhood, and consequently, at
the final enquiry, the Sheriff went further afield in order to
secure an impartial hearing. But then, as- it seems to me, he

must have gone outside the terms of the writ, which directed
him to enquire by the oath of lawful men of the view of Shende,

In my former note, I threw out the suggestion that ude
Chyreburg" was afterwards corrupted into "Yerbury", and that
this thirteenth century family of Seend (obviously Norman) was
the original of a strenuous race of Wiltshire clothiers who
flourished in the neighbourhood for many centuries. Perhaps
someone of your readers may confirm or dissipate the sugges-
tion. T. G. J. H.

THE ANCESTOR, A QUARTERLY REVIEW OF COUNTY AND
FAMILY HISTORY, HERALDRY AND ANTIQUITIES. Edited
by OSWALD BARRON, F.S.A., No. xii, January, 1905.
London : Archibald Constable & Co., Ltd.

The Editor begins his introduction to this number with
these fateful words : —

When this twelfth volume shall have come to our readers' hands,
the Ancestor will be an ancestor indeed, for as a quarterly review
it is about to die and to join upon the bookshelves the magazines which
have been before it.

But although many of us may feel sorrow at this, we may
console ourselves with pleasure at the promise, that henceforth
it will be published as an annual. There are as usual many
beautiful things to look at, and interesting things to read in this
serial, but, as on former occasions, we will confine ourselves
only to those matters which concern Wiltshire.

The volume commences with an article, beautifully illus-

trated, by the Editor on The Fanes, where we find fine portraits
of Sir Anthony Mildmay, the well-known Ambassador to
France, and his wife Grace Sharington, of Lacock, with that of
Francis, the first Earl of Westmoreland, who married their
daughter and heir ; this, we presume, is the reason why we
find the Fanes at one time in possession of land in Seend and
its neighbourhood. Thomas Wall's Book of Crests is con-
cluded ; the compiler was Windsor Herald and afterwards
Garter, and wrote them out with his own hand in 1530 ; such a
list of crests is rare, and the only other one that has come down
to us is a copy of a late fifteenth century roll of some Lan-
cashire and Cheshire knights, in this list are the following:—

WRYTH,1 of Wiltes, alias Garter, King of Armes, beryth to his crest a
dove, close silver membred geules, crowned gold standying
in a wreth or b. b. ar.

HAMPTON, of Sarum, beryth to his crest, a greyhound courrant silver,

John de Castlecombe, by whom he had a son, Sir Thomas, also Garter, born
at Colatford, near Castlecombe, who mar. Joan, dau. of William Hall, of
Salisbury, by whom he had Charles Wriothesley, the Chronicler, born in
Garter House, which his father had built in Red Cross St., Cripplegate —
"one other great house, called Garter Place, sometime builded by Sir John
Writhe ; he built this house, and in the top thereof a chappell, which he
dedicated by the name of S. Trinitatis in Alto". Sir Thomas changed his
name to Wriothesley, drawing up a pedigres, probably an invention, showing
a descent from one of that name, an illegitimate son of Henry I; he was
one of the principal witnesses before the Legatine Court (1529) as to
Catherine's marriage with Prince Arthur; at this time he was living at
Cricklade ; he was uncle to the Earl of Southampton, to whom Shakespeare
dedicated his Venus and Adonis. In the Scrope pedigree in the History of
Castlecombe, Writh is described as representative of Dunstanville, alias
Cricklade. He was buried, 1534, with his wife Joan, and other members of
his family, in Cripplegate St. Giles ; Stow says there were monuments to
them, but these were destroyed when that church was burnt in 1545.

commenced in the preceding number.

Eyre of Newhouse. — Sir Samuel Eyre, Esq., knt., bapt.
26 Sept. 1633, inherited the estate of Bonhams from his great
uncle William Eyre, and purchased Newhouse of his cousin
William Eyre, in 1660. He was in 1692 called to the Degree
of Serjeant-at-Law, and on 22 Feb. 1694, was appointed one
of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench. He m. Martha,
3rd dau. and coheiress of Francis Lucy, 5th son of Sir Thomas
Lucy, of Charlecote, co. Warwick, the "Justice Shallow" of
Shakespeare. Lady Eyre inherited the estate of Bright-
walton, in Berkshire, from her father, and died in May 1728,
being buried at St. Thomas', Salisbury, on May 6th. Sir
Samuel died, whilst on circuit, at Lancaster on i2th Sept. 1698,
was buried there in the parish church, where there is a fine
bust of him and a monument to his memory, but his remains
were removed to the Eyre vault in St. Thomas, on July
2, 1699.

He had issue as follows : —

i. Sir Robert Eyre, knt., of Newhouse, b. 1666 ; Recorder of
Salisbury, 1696; M.P. for that City 1698, and in five
succeeding Parliaments ; Solicitor-General 1708; Judge
of the Court of King's Bench ; Lord Chief Baron of
the Exchequer, 1723; Chancellor to the Prince of
Wales (afterwards George II) ; and Lord Chief Justice
of the Court of Common Pleas. Sir Robert's whole
career on the three Benches lasted over twenty-one
years. That he was somewhat haughty in his de-
meanour may be inferred from the Duke of Wharton's
satire, who vows constancy to his mistress till the time
"When Tracey's generous soul shall swell with pride,

so-called original picture, was bequeathed to New College by
Catherine Blake, of the Calne family of that name, in 1747
(W. N. & Q., i, p. 453), and perhaps came down to the donor, from
her ancestors, the Stringers, who were of Founder's kin, and one of
whom was Warden. A correspondent writes "that the late Warden
thought it the most probable likeness of the Founder, and used
to trace a resemblance between it and the representation of him in
the ancient glass at Winchester, and perhaps here also."

by 35jin. ; a similar picture, but smaller, is at Lambeth. Chancellor,

Piombo, at one time in the Barberini Gallery at Rome. Another,
also somewhat similar, is at Wardour Castle, where it is ascribed

THREE WILTSHIRE ASTROLOGERS.

(See Vol. IV, p. 573.)

(I.) The following may interest "E. K." if he has not other-
wise come across it already.

Among books printed by H. Sutton, noticed in Mr. C.
Sayle's Early English Printed Books in Cambridge University
Library, no. 1158, vol. i, p. 231, is this confutation of Henry
Low (among others) : —

W. Fulke's "Antiprognosticon contra inutiles Astrologorum
Praedictiones Nostrodami, Cunninghami, Loui, Hilli, Vaghami,
reliquoruin omnium Sexto die Septembris, 1560. (Colophon:
Londini. Ex officina Henrici Suttoni, impensis Humfredi
Toij, 6 Septembris, 1560, 8°.) Camb. Univ. Lib. Bb*, 12, 5410.—
Brit. Mus., i, p. 660 (718, c. 6).

I cannot say whether this almanac-maker, "Louus", whose
work (as well as its antidote) was brought out by Sutton, be-
longed to the same family as "Edward Lowe of Salisbury"

(A. Wood's Life, ed. Bliss, p. xxiv n, pp. xxxii, xli.), Master of
the Choristers at Salisbury, organist at Christ Church, Oxford
1630), and the Chapel Royal ; — "judicious in his profession, but
not graduated therein .... publick professor of the
musical praxis in this University, and author of Short directions
for the performance of Cathedral Service, printed at Oxon in
Oct., an. 1 66 1, ed. 2, 1664; married Alice, dau. of Sir J. Peyton,
jun., of Dodington, in the Isle of Ely, knt., buried in the
Divinity Chapel joyning on the N. side of the cathedral of
Ch. Ch., in 1682" (Wood-Bliss, Fasti, ii, 324-5).

There was also Edward Low, or Lowe, LL.D., Fellow of
New College, 1655-73, Chancellor of the Diocese of Salisbury
1671-84, Master in Chancery. He, however, was a native of
Calne, entered at Winchester Coll. in 1648 (aet. 12). Kirby,
Winchester Scholars, p. 1 84.

Peter Low's Discourse of Chirurgery, ed. 3. T. Purfoot,
1634, 4°, in Salisbury Cathedral Library (T. 6, 53). An edition
appeared in 1611-12; a copy of this, as also one of his earlier
Easie Method, etc., to cure the Spanish Sicknes, 4°, 1596, is in the
British Museum. He founded the Glasgow Faculty of Phy-
sicians and Surgeons.

In his most serviceable Early English Printed Books in
the University Library at Cambridge (vol. i, p. 232), Mr. C.
Sayle notices (no. 1161), under the spelling "Lon", probably
for "Lou", and the year 1554: —

"Lon (Henry). An Al- | menack and Progno- | sticacion,
for the yere of our | Lorde M.D.LJJJJ. Practi- | sed in Sarum,
nowe called | Salisbury, by Master | Henry Lon, doctor of
Astronomic | and Phisicke. [Black Letter.} Imprinted at

London, by Ihon Kingston, and Henry Sutton

[1554.] 16°" [Fragment only.]

The suggestion that "Sarum" was the older form for
"Salisbury" may amuse some of your correspondents. Also
the claim to a Degree in "Astronomic,"

Three Wiltshire Astrologers. 69

To revert to Wilts Astrologers :—

(II.) There was another of the same date, named JOHN
SECURIS (or Hatchett), who practised as a physician in Salis-
bury.

I have a transcript of his "A Prognosticacion for . . .
1562", 8™, from the original in the British Museum, 8610, aa, 38.

There is also "A Detection and Querimonie of the daily
enormities and abuses committed in physick, etc." Black
Letter. "In cedibus Thomce Marshi, Londini, 1566," 8™ (without
pagination). Brit. Mus., 1638, g. 15 (i).

Two or three years ago 1 found in the binding of a little
book in the W. White collection at St. Mary's Vicarage, Marl-
borough, the first half (8 leaves) of a copy of another Ephemeris,
or "New Prognostication", by J. Securis, for 1570. If E. K.
would edit these, he shall be welcome to my transcripts. The
names Michael, Thomas, and Henry Securis, appear in our
cathedral Fasti, under the years 1554-95 (ed. Jones, pp. 359
bis, 437).1

(III.) Then we have SIMON FoRMAN,2 of Quidhampton,
near Wilton, 1552-1611, who claimed miraculous powers about
1579. He set up as an astrologer in London in 1583, and as a
necromancer in 1588. After practising as a quack-doctor for
many years, he procured a licence at Cambridge in 1603. His
MSS. came into the possession of Elias Ashmole. His father
deserted him in infancy, and he was educated and apprenticed
in Salisbury. His Grounds of the Longitude, 4°, 1591, is in the
Cathedral Library (p. 8, 5). Some of his MSS. are at Trin.
Coll., Cambridge, O. 2, 13, if. 236-49 ;— O. 8, i, ff. 95-115;—
O. 9, 7. His autograph, perhaps, in O. 8, 232, f. 8b (M. R.
James, Catal., p. 414). See also Brit. Mus. MS., Sloan, 3822.

1 Joshua Childrey, rector of Upway, Dorset, described by Wood as " a
good Astrologer" (Athence, iii, 903), was a prebendary in Salisbury Cathedral
in 1664-70.

2 He was a "poor scholar" of Magdalen Coll. Oxford ; his MSS. contain
the earliest account of the performances of "Macbeth", "Winter's Tale",
and "Cymbeline".— [ED.]

(i.) Astrological schemes, calculations, accounts, etc., of
magical rings, amulets, or sigils, by Dr. Forman, etc., from

and a letter from W. Lily to Ashmole, Jan. 1667.

CHYREBURY, OR CHIRBURGH, OF SEEND.

(Vol. IV, p. 415; Vol. r, pp. 43-6.)

The following two deeds, unfortunately not dated,1 are
copied from those preserved amongst the archives 'of Seend
parish ; perhaps this is not the same Wygan, but we may find
another and earlier generation, and that it is from Matilda de
Hales, of Seend, that those mentioned in Mr. Fry's and Mr.
Heathcote's notes, inherited their Seend property. Is anything
known of this Hales family ?

It would be interesting to find out how far back Yerbury
can go in our County; it is not mentioned in the Visitation of
Wilts of 1565, but in that of 1623 it has a pedigree going back no
further than the great-grandfather of the Trowbridge royalist,
who is described as of Batcomb, co. Somerset ; and amongst

1 The approximate date of these deeds may be arrived at by examination
of some of the names ; Mountsorrel does riot occur amongst the Governors
of Devizes Castle in Waylen's History of Devizes, but surely the date of his
tenure of the office ought to be ascertainable ; Mount Sorrell, now spelt
and pronounced " Mousehill " or " Montsell", is one of the four sub-divisions
of Broad Chalke, occupied, according to Aubrey, for 450 years by the Gawens
( Wilts Archceolog. Mag., xxvi, p. 214). A family named Monsell, or Mounsell,
ancestors of Lord Emly, are said to have been seated at Melcombe Regis,
co. Dorset, before their removal to Ireland (Genealogist, N.S., xiii, p. 280).
In 137(5 John of Gaunt presents Hugh Hall or Atte-Hall to the Rectory of
Trowbridge; in 1322 Ingelranus Berenger, knt. (an uncommon name?),
presents his son of the same name to Whitchurch. Ingelran, of Wilts,
occurs in the pedigree of Berenger in Visitation of Bucks, 15G6, with two
sons, but not one of his own name.

Chyrebury, or Chirburgh, of Seend. 87

the ignobiles is an Erbury of Atworth,1 showing that he was of
sufficient position, or ambitious enough, to claim the rank of
gentleman, but would not, or could not, pay the necessar}r fees.
In the Visitations of Lincolnshire, 1564, 1592, are pedigrees
of Yarborough, or Yerborough, of a place of the same name,
tracing back to times before Henry I, but the name of Wygan
does not occur in them, and the arms of the two families are
quite different.

Mr. Heathcote writes : " It is possible to fix the date of
No. i of the Seend Charters within a few years, 1269-1283.

"(i) The witnesses are all (perhaps with one exception)
persons whose names are of frequent occurrence on Inquisi-
tions held during the last quarter of the thirteenth century.

"(2) The same Charter is presumably earlier than the date
of the statute Quia Emptores, as the wording of the Tenendum
clause runs {de me et heredibus meis\ a form which, I suppose,
was only permissible before the passing of that statute, about
the year 1289. [Similarly Charter No. 2 must be later than the
same statute, as the Tenendum is de capitalibus dominis feodi

"The Grantor in the same Charter is Wyganus de Cher-
burg, who, as it appears to me, can only be the person named
in the Wilts I. P.M. as having succeeded his father in an estate
at Seend in 1269, and who died in 1283."

Boucher. — Can any of your readers give any genealogical
information about Thomas Boucher, of Ogbourne St. George,
who was elected M.P. for Malmesbury, 21 November 1702.
vice Sir Charles Hedges, Knt. (who elected to serve for Calne),
and who was Member for Chippenham in 1722 ?

Was he in any way related to the Bouchers who, during
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, lived at The Close,
Sarum ?

Bouchers were connected with Seend in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. R. B.

Ship Inn, Mere (vol. iv, p. 574). — Tradition says that the
iron work of the sign of the above Inn was the work of a local
artificer named Kingston Avery. His name often appears in
the Churchwardens' accounts. He erected the present church
clock in this place in 1740, and many grandfathers' clocks with
his name attached are still in existence. The Inn itself was
built by Henry Andrews in 1711 on the site of a mansion where
Sir John Coventry once resided (Hoare's Hundred of Mere,
p. 25). There was a Ship Inn at Mere previous to this date,
but its site is unknown. T. H. BAKER.

Dickens' Topography, etc. (vol. iv, pp. 321, 377, 427-28,
474-76). — In the May number of The Dickensian, the monthly
magazine of "The Dickens Fellowship", Mr. Charles G. Harper
has an article on the famous " Blue Dragon" of Martin Chuz-
zlewit, discussing whether it is to be found at Amesbury or
Alderbury — the writer does not allude to Market Lavington,
another claimant — and in the course of his remarks writes
what is perhaps the truth, "like many another literary land-
mark it is a composite picture of more than one inn". He
gives an illustration of "The George" at Amesbury, and of
"The Green Dragon" of Alderbury, with another of the interior
of the latter, showing the beautiful carved stone fireplace.

William Eyre ; Joana Cockrell (vol. iv, p. 563).— William
Eyre's flat tombstone lies in the north choir aisle at Christ-
church, Hants., immediately to the west of the chapel forming
the eastern end of the aisle. It consists of a Purbeck marble
slab, 8 ft. 3^ in. by 4 ft. 4 in., containing in the centre the
matrix of a brass effigy, 2 ft. 3 J in. long, at the base of which
was a narrow inscription-plate, i ft. 5^ in. by 2\ in. It would
be unsafe to say, from the form of the matrix, what vestments
were shewn ; but the shape seems to favour cassock, surplice,
and almuce.

The marginal inscription, in black letter, is as follows : —

[West side] * Tumba d'ni Willelmi Eyer : {North side] vicesimi
qui'ti prioris : huius ecclesie : Qui obiit vi° die Me'sis [East side] decem-
bris : Anno domini : {South side] millesimo : ccccc0 : xx° : Cu' A'ie :
propiciet' deus : Amen :

It should be noted that the date of death is 6th December,
not 3rd ; and that the name is spelt Eyer. Across the stone
an inscription has been cut to the memory of members of the
Mouatt family.

Joana Cockrell's tombstone lies immediately to the north
of that of her son. It is a Purbeck marble slab, 7 ft. 3 in. by
3 ft. i in., containing in the centre a narrow matrix, 18 in. long,
from the shape of which it seems probable that the costume
was a long gown without mantle, and a veil headdress.

The marginal inscription is boldly cut in black letter :— -

[West side] K Hie Jacet Joha'na [North side} Cokrell mater Will'mi
Eyer : prioris {East side] huius ecclesie : [South side] cuius Anime :
propicietur deu« : Amen :

The black mastic with which the two inscriptions were
filled in is still to be seen adhering to some of the letters.

of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Edited

We have recently received the above interesting little
brochure by Canon Wordsworth ; although consisting of only
thirty-three pages, it contains much entertaining matters, viz.,
records relating to the " Passive Resisters" of the seventeenth
century, i.e., the conscientious objectors to the Jacobean contri-
bution called " Benevolences" ; the great fire of Marlborough
in 1653, "perhaps the most disastrous conflagration known
in this country previously to 1666, the damage being estimated
at ;£8o,ooo" ; a copy of the Loyal Address presented to Queen
Anne in 1710, directly after the Sacheverell disturbances—
" Dr. Henry Sacheverell, who had proved himself to be a very
firebrand in this kingdom, was born at St. Peter's Parsonage
on Feb. 8th and baptized on the following iyth, 1673-4."

We give a description of the town as it appeared to one of
the narrators before the fire :—

The famous and flourishing Town of Marlborough had of

late two faire Parish Churches There was likewise many faire

Streets and stately Buildings, especially one gallant Street called the

High Street the Markets consisted of all kinds of necessarie

Provisions,, brought in far and near by the country people. And indeed

it was a gallant place for Corn, Butter, Cheese The street

wherein the market was kept is supposed to be in length and breadth
full as large as Cheap-side, and on both sides had many goodly Shops,
well fitted with rich and costly Commodities, Silks, and Tapety cloathes,
and Lace, Linnen and Woollen, Gold and Silver, no braver wares can be
had or bought in London, there was to be had in the famous Towne of
Marlborough.

At the upper end of the market place was a gallant Building called

Notes on Books. 95

the Town-Hall There were many faire Inns, Taverns, and

Victualling Houses it was a towne of very good Orders and

Government.

In this "woefull fire", which commenced in a Tanner's
shop, on Thursday, 28th April, 1653, only six lives were lost,
four of whom were Dutchmen ; within three hours at least two
hundred and fifty houses were burnt down, together with St.
Mary's Church and the Town Hall.

We hope that the learned compiler will fulfil his promise,
made in the preface, of publishing treatises relating to this
town in the Civil Wars and under the Commonwealth.

the heir male collateral, being descended from a brother
of the ist Earl); from another brother descended Scrope
of Castlecombe. In 1551, William Paulet, having been

EYRE OF WILTS.

(Continued from p. 57.)

YRE of Brickworth.— Giles Eyre, the second son of
Thomas Eyre of New Sarum, and Elizabeth Rogers
his wife, was the founder of the Brickworth and Irish
branches of the family. He was born in 1572, and
was High Sheriff for Wilts in 1640. He was a very
strong supporter of the Parliamentarian Party, and suffered
on account of his opinions. He himself and three of his sons
were members of the council of Oliver Cromwell, and two of
them, John and Edward Eyre, accompanied the Cromwellian
General, Ludlow, to Ireland, and founded there the family of
the Irish Eyres. Giles Eyre built the mansion house of
Brickworth in the parish of Whiteparish.

The Brickworth estate, which formed part of the ty thing
of Abbotstone, was conveyed, on 15 May 1605, to Giles
Eyre, then of Redlynch, by Richard Plott, of Wantage, Berks,
and John Lamb, of Coulston, Wilts, for ^950, and in 1628,
William, brother of Giles, granted to him " all his lands in
Brickworth". The Eyre family was, however, connected with
this tithing as far back as Edward II's reign, when we find
in the Nomina Villarum a Thomas le Eyre mentioned as one
of the three proprietors in this tithing of Abbotstone.

H

98 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Close by the west door of Whiteparish Church is a tablet
to Giles' memory, with this inscription :—

"Buried here Gyles Eyre, Esq., and Jane his wite. A man
much oppressed by public power for his laudable opposition to
the measures taken in the reigns of James I and Charles I.

" In the year 1640 (for then well-known Court reasons),
he was ^ & 8< *, and afterwards plundered at Brickwcrth by
the King's soldiers of ^2,000 value, and imprisoned for refusing
to pay the sum of ^400, illegally demanded of him by two in-
struments under the Privy Seal, bearing date at Oxford, i4th
Feb. 1643. He was baptized 1572, died Jan. 1655, having issue
seven sons (three of whom were likewise members of Parlia-
ment) and four daughters."

I have not been able to discover what these four crosses
on the tablet mean ; the writer of the epitaph refuses to name
the punishment inflicted, but I was told at Whiteparish that
Giles Eyre was supposed to have been flogged by order of the
Star Chamber. The 3oth of January, the anniversary of the day
on which his property was plundered, recorded also the execu-
tion of the monarch in whose name the outrage was committed.
Over the vestry in Whiteparish church hangs an esquire's
helmet ensigned by a leg couped, the Eyre Crest. The times
in which Giles Eyre lived were very turbulent ones, and split
up families into two parties; whilst the Brickworth family were
Cromwellians, the Eyres of Chaldfield were Royalists.

Giles m. in 1603 Jane, dau. and heiress of Ambrose Snel-
grove, of Redlynch, near Salisbury, and had issue : —

(i.) Giles Eyre, bapt. 10 Feb. 1607, M.P. for Downton
1660, m. Anne, dau. of Sir Richard Norton, of
Rotherfield (of whom -presently).

(2.) Ambrose Eyre, of New House, d. 1640, m. Frances
Tooker, widow of Wm. Tooker, and had issue : —
(i.) Frances, b. Apr. 1636.
(2.) Ambrose (bap. 21 Aug. 1637).
(3.) Jane (bap. 21 Aug. 1637).
(4.) William, bapt. 16 Jan. 1638. William suc-
ceeded his father at New House, but sold it
to his cousin, Sir Samuel Eyre, and thus New
House passed to that branch of the family.

Eyre of Wilts. 99

(3.) William Eyre, Rector of St. Edmund's, Salisbury, b.
1613. As his family were politically of the Parlia-
mentarian Party, so his religious feelings were
naturally with the Independents. He was a Com-
missioner for Wilts, for the ejection of such that were
called "scandalous and ignorant and insufficient
ministers". On the Restoration of Charles II he
was deprived of his living, and retired to Melksham,
where he died, and was buried 30 Jan. 1669.

(4.) Robert Eyre, bapt. at Whiteparish, 19 Aug. 1618.

(5.) Christopher Eyre.

(6.) John Eyre, the founder of Eyrecourt, bapt. at White-
parish 22 Feb. 1623 (see Eyre of Eyrecourt).

(7.) Thomas Eyre, bapt. at Whiteparish, 1625.

(8.) Edward Eyre, bapt. at Whiteparish, 23 Jan. 1626
(see Eyre of Gal way Town).

(9.) Henry Eyre, bapt. at Whiteparish, 23 Oct. 1628.
He was Recorder of and M.P. for New Sarum in
1658; m. Dorothy, dau. of George Hastings, of
Woodlands, Dorset ; he was bur. at Whiteparish,
July 1678, and there is a memorial to him in the
Church there, with the following inscription : —

" Here lyeth Henry Eyre, one of ye outer barristers of
Lincolnes Inn, who died July 18, 1678."

(i.) Elizabeth Eyre, m. at Whiteparish, 24 Apr. 1627,

(3.) Jane Eyre.
(4.) Mary Eyre.
(5.) Catherine Eyre.1

1 The memorial tablet in Whiteparish Church states that Giles Eyre
had seven sons, but in Hoare's Wiltshire and in Burke, no mention is
made of Robert, his name however is in the register of baptisms at White-
parish. The list of these children of Giles Eyre is compiled from the
Visitation of 1623 and the Whiteparish Registers,

Giles Eyre, the founder of Brickworth, was succeeded
there by his eldest son, Giles Eyre, who m. Anne, dau. of Sir
Richard Norton, of Rotherfield, Hants (the friend and
associate of Oliver Cromwell), by whom he had issue as
follows : —

(i.) Giles Eyre, of Brickworth (of whom presently).

(2.) John Eyre, bapt. at Whiteparish, 28 Jan. 1640.

(3.) Francis Eyre, bapt. at Whiteparish, 7 May 1642.

(i.) Catherine Eyre.

Giles Eyre, the third of the name, succeeded to Brickworth ;
he was admitted a member of Lincoln's Inn in Oct. 1654, and
called to the Bar in Nov. 1661. He succeeded his uncle,
Henry Eyre, as Recorder of Salisbury, and on 31 Oct. 1689,
was knighted and made a Judge of the King's Bench, where
four years later his cousin, Sir Samuel Eyre of Newhouse,
joined him on the Bench of the same Court. He m., ist,
Dorothy, dau. of Sir John Ryves, of Ranston, Dorset ; she
died in early life in 1667, and the following curious inscription
was placed to her memory in Whiteparish Church : —

" Here lyeth Dorothy Eyre, eldest dr. of John Ryves, of
Ranston, in the county of Dorset, wife of Giles Eyre, ot
Brickworth, Esq., who died Jan. 15, 1667, setatis suse 23.
" Sic Flosculus Evanescit."

"Here lyeth Gyles Eyre, Esq., one of ye outer barristers of
Lincolnes inne, husband of Dorothy who dyed."

" Divided and united by one grave,
Husband and wife entomb'd here y' have,
Who living loved, and dying did desier
In chaster brestes to cherish still love's fier ;
Beauty is but skin deep, and skin is dust,
Our scene is ended and to earth we must,
Till Phoenix like our ashes live above
Wth Saints and Angells, God to praise and love."

It will be noticed there is no date recording the husband's
death on the tablet, the epitaph was evidently written before
Giles died, and the memorial was placed in the Church in
anticipation of his death, for as we have seen, he lived to
become Sir Giles Eyre, Kt, and a Judge of the King's Bench.

Eyre of Wilts. toi

He married as his second wife, Christabella [— — ], and
was bur. at Whiteparish, 12 June 1695. In the south aisle of
Whiteparish Church his grave is marked by a flat stone thus
inscribed : —

" Buried here Gyles Eyre, eldest son of Gyles Eyre, and
Anne, daughter of Sir Richard Norton, of Rotherfield, in the
county of Wilts, Knt. and Bart., his wife, Sir Gyles Eyre, Knt,
his eldest son, Dorothy, daughter ot John Ryves, of Ranston,
in the county of Dorset, Esq., his first wife, the Right
Honourable Christabella, Baroness of Glasford in Scotland,
his second wife, and divers children."

Sir Gyles Eyre had issue by his first wife as follows :—

(i.) Giles Eyre, of Brickworth (of whom presently).

(2.) John Eyre, bapt. at Whiteparish, 12 Apr. 1665, was
a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn and M.P. in seven
Parliaments, he d. 2 Nov. 1715, and was bur. in
Whiteparish churchyard, his tombstone bears the
following inscription, which breathes forth the same
spirit that animated his great grandfather, the
Cromwellian, Giles Eyre :—

" Here lyeth ye body of John Eyre, Esq., second son of Sir
Gyles Eyre, Knt., and one of the benchers of Lincolne's Inn, a
person of Natural abilities and acquired Knowledge in the law
of the country inferior to few — elected a member of seven
parliaments and therein shewed himself (like many of his
ancestors) a lover of liberty and independence, served his
country at his own expense and not served himself at the
expense of his country, died at Lincoln's Inn the second day of
Nov. 1715, age 50."

(3.) Henry Eyre, Barrister-at-Law, of the Middle
Temple, bapt. at Whiteparish 18 Mar. [666, d. 1704.
There is a monument to him in Whiteparish Church
with this inscription :—

" H. S. E. Henricus Eyre de Medio Templo Londini
Armiger, films yEgidii Eyre militis, an' Justic de banco nuper
regis, natu tertius, scholae publicae huic parochiae, benefactor

And on the same tablet his elder brother John
is thus commemorated : —

Christe Jesus, my Saviour and Redemer, he wyll also receive it into his
glorie and place it in the companie of his heavenlie Angelles and blessed
Saintes in peace and tranquility. And as touching my bodye, I doe also

Fisherion Gaol, and its Occupants in 1649. 137

FISHERTON GAOL, AND ITS OCCUPANTS IN 1649.

The following document, of which the original is in my pos-
session, will at once explain itself. It is evidence of the diffi-
culty which the Keeper of the County Gaol at Fisherton must
have experienced in his endeavours to maintain peace among its
unruly occupants during the troublous period of the Common-
wealth. He had petitioned for re-payment of £60 45. 6d.
expended by himself in securing and bringing to trial mutinous
prisoners, some of whom had attempted to escape ; and at a
General Session of the Peace for the County, held at New
Sarum, 15 January 1649, the Court, taking into serious con-
sideration his faithful service, and " to settle a way for his
allowance of the said charge and expence", ordered the sum of
^50 to be paid him by the Sheriff, humbly desiring the
Honourable Committee of Revenue to give allowance thereof,
and their order to the Sheriff for its payment accordingly.

The name of the Keeper of the Gaol is found some years
afterwards at Farleigh Hungerford, where a Mr. Daniel Drake
held a transfer of the lease of Farleigh House, under Baynton,
of Bromham, who had become the purchaser of the property
from Sir Edward Hungerford in 1686. Mr. Drake assigned
his term, in 1694, to Dr. William Harris, Master of Winchester
College.

The Gaol of 1649 had then been in existence for some
seventy years. Sir John Thynne and his associates — the
County Justices of Queen Elizabeth's days — had, in 1568,
selected Harnham as its site, but, on a remonstrance from
Bishop Jewel, the building was eventually erected near
Fisherton Bridge. This — the first Gaol here — was completed
in 1578, and the last — the building known to the present
generation, erected on a more elevated site in 1822, Fisherton
having then been for some two centuries and a half the locality
of the County Gaol.

Regicide, in his travels through France and Italy.

Dole Stones. — In medieval times, doles either in bread or
money were by no means uncommon. They often accom-
panied the celebration, in the Parish Church, of an obit, or
yearly remembrance of some departed benefactor. A massive
erection, resembling a high tomb, sometimes found near the
church porch, is supposed to have been used for distributing
these doles. Examples occur in the churchyards of Potterne,
near the north porch ; Poulshot, near the south porch ; and St.

Cople Church, and Copell Churchfield. 141

Mary's, Devizes, close to a south doorway in the chancel, now
blocked up. The latter, which is of fourteenth century date, is
traditionally known as the "Founder's Tomb", but on its
removal years ago no traces of an interment were found. The
same was also the case with the Potterne example. Are any
others known in the county, and has any tradition been

preserved in relation to them ?

H. D.

Cople Church, and Copell Churchfield.— In an Inquisition
taken 1630, after the death of Roger Blagden, gent, of Keevil,
some of his property in that village is described as "eight
acres of land in Copell Churchfield, and a parcel of meadow in
the same field in a place called Eight Mennes Parte". Also
"half an acre below Cople Church". Can any reader of Wilts
N. &> Q. suggest the derivation of the word Copell, or Cople.
The land referred to is, I believe, still known by the same
name, and some architectural remains, apparently of a church,

are said to have been discovered in digging there.

Murder of a Wilts Clergyman.— The tradition of the
murder in bygone days, of either a vicar or curate of Fighel-
dean is mentioned by the Rev. C. S. Ruddle, on p. 3 of the
present volume. I well remember visiting Figheldean Church,
about the year 1863, and seeing a slab, which had probably
been brought to light during a recent restoration, as it is not
mentioned in the Monumental Inscriptions of South Wilts,
of which a few copies issued from the private press of Sir
Thomas Phillipps in 1821, and I therefore conclude that the
memorial was not visible at that date.

An inscription, in Roman capitals, part of which only
remained, ran round the outer edge of the slab, as follows :—

"HERE . LYETH [WHO WA]S . MISE . ABLY ....

[DJERD . THE . FIRST . DAY . OF . OCTOBER . ANNO

both name and date being, to all appearance, purposely
obliterated.

Within this marginal inscription, there was also on the
lower half of the slab, some other indistinct lettering, ending

in " [WHl]CH . ALL . THE . WORLD . KNOWS . TRVE."

The date probably seventeenth or early eighteenth century.
Would the Parish Register throw any further light on the
subject ? and is the slab still to be seen ?

Boucher (vol. v, p. 91). — Thomas Boucher, of Ogbourne
St. George, who was elected M.P. for Malmesbury in 1702,
owned considerable property in Wiltshire, including the manor
of Christian Malford, and the rectorial tithes of Seagry. He,
however, seems to have usually lived at a house he possessed
at Twickenham, co. Middlesex — Heath Lane Lodge — and it was
at Twickenham that he was buried on the 4th Sept. 1708. He
married Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Morris, of Devon-
shire Street, Middlesex, gentleman (she was buried at
Twickenham, 4 Dec. 1734), and by her he had one daughter,
Elizabeth Boucher (who married John Upton, of Ingmire Hall,
co. York, Esq.), and one son, Thomas Boucher, baptised at
Twickenham 6 July 1701, of Christian Malford, co. Wilts, and
Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, London; M.P. for
Chippenham 1722. He was buried at Bath, 8 Feb. 1772. He
married, in April 1724, Judith, 2nd daughter of Sir James
Bateman, Knt. (Lord Mayor of London in 1717, and a director
of the Bank of England), and sister of Viscount Bateman, but
she died the following year, n March 1725, leaving one daugh-
ter, Judith Boucher, who married, 4 Dec. 1750, at St. George's,

Cold Arbour (vol. v, p. 43). — Cold Harbour=Cold d'Arbres.
This place-name is very frequently found on the top of a hill,
as at Hinton, near Steeple Ashton ; the Rev. Isaac Taylor, in
Words and Places, gives a derivation that is not so happy : —
"Harbour=Auberge," and finding the name in so many cases
located near ancient high roads, suggests that ruined Roman
villas were used as bungalows, which were cold !

SN1GG MONUMENT IN ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH, BRISTOL.

DECEMBER, 1905.

SNIGG.

(Vol. n, pp. 400-1.)

one of the pleasantly written and informing papers on
Family History, by the late lamented Mrs. Light, of
Chippenham, which have done so much to enhance the
value and interest of some of our former volumes, we
find a long note on Sir George Snigg, of Bristol.
Although he was not a Wiltshireman by birth, he was con-
nected both by official and family ties to our county, having
represented Cricklade in Parliament, and taken to wife Alice,
a daughter of William Young, of Ogbourne ; one of his
daughters, Jane, married the Rev. George Estcourt, D.D., of
Newnton. His handsome monument in St. Stephen's, Bristol,
is thus described by Miss I. M. Roper in her valuable notes
on "The Effigies of Bristol", printed in the Transactions of
the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society : —

A large and costly altar-tomb, being a gorgeous example of early
seventeenth century work, and carved with a variety of devices typical
of death. The life-sized effigy of stone, in legal robes, reclines on it,
beneath a canopy supported by two Corinthian pillars. At the back are
two small niches with figures representing Youth and Old Age, and in
the centre a slab containing an inscription, its framework being adorned
with bosses and an escutcheon, on which is Azure, three leopard s faces
in pale or; impaling Per fess gules and azure, a fess between three
falcorfs heads erased or. YOUNG. Above the entablature is another
shield with the crest, viz. : SNIGG, and on an esquire's helmet and wreath,
a hawk rising gorged or.

Quondam a memoria qui dum in vivis fuit, pietatem

Travit, bonorum sedulus propugnator, vitiorum severus

The Latin inscription on the panels in front of the tomb is illegible,
but is given by Barrett in his History of Bristol, 515 ; it is a panegyric,
and does not afford us any fresh information.

On pilasters on front of the tomb is the following :— To the memory
of | Sir Geo. Snigge, Knt., j Sergeant-at-law, | one of the Barons j of the
Exchequer, | Recorder of | Bristol, 1592-1604, j M.P. for Bristol, | 1597-
1601-1604. | He proclaimed | King James I. \ at the Civic | High Cross1
in ! 1603 Top of High St. | Died 1617, aged 73 | and buried in the
Chancel, j The remains of his | Father, Alderman | Snigge and his |
Mother are j also interred | near this place. | His ancestors j were
connected | with this city | for nearly two | centuries | previous to | his
decease.

Sir George Snygge, died 1617, aged 73.

The tomb and canopy are painted to represent coloured marbles, and
the effigy is in natural colours; on the canopy is inscribed: — "This
monument was repair'd att the cost of Thomas Hodges, Esq., the grand-
sonn of the afore said George Snygge.

On the front of the tomb : — This monument was again restored Jan.
1889.

1 The High Cross, first erected 1373 in the High Street, was taken down
in 1633, enlarged, and raised higher ; in 1733 it was removed to College
Green ; in 1768 Henry Hoare, son of Sir Richard Hoare, Lord Mayor of
London, found its disjointed fragments apparently overlooked in a corner
of the Cathedral, which being given him he pieced together, and erected
the Cross in Stourhead Park, where it can still be seen. <.. -

Sm'gg.

It formerly stood at the eastern end of the chancel where the altar
now stands, but was removed to its present position, east end of the
south aisle, when the church was repewed in 1713; no description or
illustration is known.

Besides what is stated on the ,

monument, he is referred to in (L^LX /

the Records of Bristol', he was (I // ll

paid 6^. %d. a day as a Member of Vy A \f

Parliament for the city, and after
he resigned that position in 1605
to become Baron of the Ex-
chequer, the Corporation used
to send him presents of wine,
and he helped them in 1609 in a
lawsuit against the Crown. He
was knighted in 1604.

In 1591 he received a
Grant of Arras, a copy of
which is not to be found in
the College of Arms, but a
trick of them appears in
Cooke's Grants, B 55, and
F 13-41, preserved in the
College, where there is a
memorandum, from which it
appears that Cooke sent a
blank Patent, signed, to
Rouge-Croix, who was in
Somersetshire acting as his
marshall at the 1591 Visita-
tion. The date of the sending
is 6 August i 591, so no doubt
the patent was issued shortly
after that date.1

1 This memorandum from the College has been kindly supplied by
G. W. Marshall, LL.D., F.S.A., York Herald, who we regret to say has
since died ; in 1876 he founded (editing the first seven volumes) The
Genealogist, which still exists ; and his Genealogist's Guide, which
has gone through several editions, at once brought him much repute
in America as well as at home. He has supplied several notes to Witt*

Eyre of Brickworth.— Henry Eyre, Rector of Landford,
younger brother of John Maurice Eyre, of Brickworth, d. 1798,
aged 43, m. ist, Sarah Penrose, and 2nd, Frances Pettiward.
By his second wife he had issue as follows :—

ii. Robert Eyre, d. 1815.

iii. George Pettiward Eyre, d. 1832.

iv. Charles Eyre, d. 1833.

i. Frances Eyre,

ii. Caroline Eyre.

N. # Q., and the writer has throughout many years always found him
most courteous and willing to assist him from his vast store of knowledge ;
he was the editor of the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation. He died at Barnes,
Sept. 12, 1905. Having ample means, Dr. Marshall formed a large genea-
logical library at Sarnesfield Court, his seat in Herefordshire, where his
collection of heraldic china is well known ; he was also one of the earliest
collectors and students of ex-libris, of which he had a fine and extensive
collection.

Eyre of Wilts. 149

The Rev. Henry Eyre had issue by his first wife a son,
Henry Eyre, of Botleigh Grange, Hants, who m. ist, Frances,
d. of the Rev. C. Tripp, D.D., and d. in 1830, having had issue
by her as follows : —

i. Henry Richard Eyre, of Shaw House, J.P. and D.L. for
Berks; b. 1813, m. 1849 Isabella Catherine, d. of C. G.
Parker, of Springfield, Essex, and had issue as follows : —
(i.) Henry John Andrews Eyre, J.P., of Shaw House.
(2.) Edward Maurice Eyre.
(3.) John Eyre.
(4.) Charles George Eyre, killed in the South African

War.

(5.) Douglas Eyre,
(i.) Isabella Frances Eyre.
(2.) Mabel Eyre,
ii. John Eyre, d. in infancy,
i. Frances Eyre, m. G. F. Everett.

ii. Harriet Eyre, m. 1840 Robert Thornton Eyre, who was
descended from Thomas Eyre, younger brother of Giles
Eyre, the founder of the Brickworth family (see later,
under descendants of Thomas Eyre).

Eyre of Eyrecourt. — Col. the Right Hon. John Eyre, of
Eyrecourt Castle, sixth son of Giles Eyre, of Brickworth
(p. 99), was bapt. at Whiteparish, Wilts, 22nd Feb. 1623 ; he,
with his younger brother, Edward Eyre, went over to Ireland
in the army of General Ludlow. He mar. Mary, dau. and
heiress of Philip Bigoe, who was High Sheriff of King's
County in 1662. His will is dated 13 Mar. and was proved
8th June 1 685, and mentions his widow Mary (ne'e Bigoe), his son
and heir John, his second son Samuel, of the Castletown and
Ballymore, his dau. Anne, and his sister Eyre, living then in
Galway Town (probably the wife or widow of his brother,
Edward Eyre). The funeral entry of Colonel John Eyre in

150 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Ulster's Office is dated 13 June 1685, and states that he was a
''Privy Councillor for Ireland and seventh son of Giles Eyre of
Brickworth, co. Wilts (descended from the noble and ancient
house of Hassop, in Derbyshire, England)". He was, however,
the sixth and not seventh son of Giles of Brickworth, and it is
strange that his son and heir John, who signed the entry, knew
so little of his family as to claim descent from the Derbyshire
Eyres of Hassop Park, in the parish of Hope, and I suppose
it is from this erroneous entry in Ulster's office, that a "tradi-
tional descent" from the Hassop Park family existed in the
minds of some of the Eyrecourt family, and that one of them,
as we shall see later on, actually named his residence in the
county of Galway, "Hassop Park." Col. John Eyre d. 22 Apr.
1685, and was bur. 24 Apr. in the church of Donanaught, built
by himself. His widow, Mary Eyre nee Bigoe, married as her
second husband, Col. Seymour, of Ballyknockan, in the King's
co., whom she also survived, dying between 23 June 1714,
when her will was dated, and 8 Nov. 1716, when it was proved.
She mentions in her will her sons John and Samuel Eyre, her
grandson John, son of her son Samuel, her grandson Giles,
"second son to my son John Eyre", her four granddaughters
Jane Eyre, Emmilia Eyre, Margerj' Eyre, and Elizabeth
Massey. The funeral entry of Col. John Eyre, mentions that
he had three sons and three daughters, but I find no further
record of one son and one daughter, the only ones mentioned
in the entry, in his will and his wife's will, are : —

i. John Eyre, M.P. (of whom presently).

ii. Col. Samuel Eyre, M.P. (see Eyre of Eyreville).

i. Mary .Eyre, m. 1679 the Right Hon. George Evans, and
was ancestress of the Earl of Seafield, Lords Carbery,
Massy, and Clarina, and the present Marquess of
Ruvigny and Raineval, the well-known author of the
"Plantagenet Roll", and other genealogical works.

ii. Anne Eyre, m. 1686 Richard St. George, eldest son of
Sir Richard St. George, knt., M.P. for Leitrim.

Parliaments of 1692 and 1695 to 1699. He m. first in 1677
Margery, elder dan. and co-heir of Sir George Preston, of
Craigmillar, in Scotland, and secondly, Anne Hamilton, widow

Lord Louth, who d. s.p. Aug. 1741, and second on 28th
May 1742, Jane, dau. of Robert Waller, of Rookwood,
by whom he had an only child Jane, who d. young.
John Eyre d. Oct. 1745. His will dated 27th Sept. 1743,
and proved 22 Nov. 1745, mentions his wife Jane, other-
wise Waller, his brother Giles, Dean of Killaloe, his
nephews, John, eldest son of Giles, Richard, second son,

Richard Cox, and granddaughter of Sir Richard Cox, Bart.,
Lord Chancellor of Ireland (she was bur. 28 Aug. 1740, at
Eyrecourt). Dean Eyre died 17 Jan. 1750, having had issue
as follows : —

i. John, Lord Eyre of Eyrecourt, b. in 1720 in co. Cork,
entered Trinity College, Dublin, as a Fellow Commoner,
1 5th July 1738, was a member of the Irish House of
Commons, but was raised to the Peerage as Baron Eyre
of Eyrecourt in 1768. Lord Eyre, however, did not
seem to appreciate the "promotion", as in a letter dated
3rd Mar. 1778, written to his friend Walter Lawrence,
of Lisreaghan, he thus surveys his past life, "I foolishly
set out with an ambition, but I hope a laudable one, to
serve my country ; alas, I now see the folly of my pur-
suit and wish Galway was sunk in the sea, where the
people, deaf to patriotism, consulting only their own
interests, made me dearly pay for my good intentions.
Then necessity, the mother of invention, secured me
a ward in the Infirmary, the House of Lords, where
it astonished me to find men with one leg in the grave,
as open to corruption, and as eager in pursuits of
worldly advantages, as if they were fifteen ; nay,
amongst the hoary Bench of Bishops, men are but men,
and priests of all religion are the same."

Cumberland, the dramatist (son of the Bishop of Clonfert),
gives in his memoirs an account of a visit he paid to Eyrecourt,
writing about it as follows : — "On this visit to Mr. Talbot I
was accompanied by Lord Eyre of Eyrecourt, a neighbour and
friend of my father. This noble lord, though pretty far
advanced in years, was so correctly indigenous as never to
have been out of Ireland in his life, and not often so far from
Eyrecourt as on this tour to Mr. Talbot's. Proprietor of a
vast extent of soil, not very productive, and inhabiting a
spacious mansion, not in the best repair, he lived according to

Records of Wiltshire Parishes. 153

the style of the country, with more hospitality than elegance,
and whilst his table groaned with abundance, the order and
good taste of its arrangements were little thought of. The
slaughtered ox was hung up whole, and the hungry servitor
supplied himself with his dole of flesh sliced from off the
carcase. His Lordship's day was so apportioned as to give the
afternoon by much the largest share of it, during which from
the early dinner to the hour of rest, he never left the chair,
nor did the claret ever quit the table. This did not produce
inebriety, for it was sipping rather than drinking that filled up
the time, and this mechanical process of gradually moistening
the human clay was carried out with very little aid from
conversation, for his lordship's companions were not very
communicative, and fortunately he was not very curious."

Golny Jun. and Phylip Bull, Churchwardens for the

quently in Codford St. Peter's Parish Registers in the

from the Pytt House family, and, if so, can anyone give the
connexion ?

Walter Scott. — I have been told that the great novelist
was a friend of Daniell Webb, of Monkton Farleigh. Is this
so, and did he ever visit this place, or stay at all in the
County ? SAGAX.

Dutch (and other) Settlers. 191

Dutch (and other) Settlers. — I am under the impression
that immigrants of the name of " Moulder", or perhaps a name
very similar, came to Wiltshire about the end of the seven-
teenth or beginning of the eighteenth centuries. Can any
reader assist me on the point, or refer me to records or lists of
names of Orange and other settlers ? One Jacob Moulder was
certainly living at Highworth in 1738, and was a baker by

trade.

VICTOR J. MOULDER.

Halliday (Vol. v, p. 43).— It has been suggested that the
motto, quartet salutis, means "helmet of salvation", as in the
Epistle to the Ephesians, vi, 17; this family has on its coat
three helmets, so YATES has three gates with quarta calorum,
GRANT three crowns with quarta gloriae.

H. D.

Sad Fortunes of Clergy (Vol. v, p. 7).— Mr. Duke, the
magistrate, who was called in by Mr. Price, was not the Rev.
E. Duke, of Lake House, but a gentleman who lived at
Bulford, and who was well known to my old neighbour,
Mr. G. P. Moore, of Durrington House.

C. S. RUDDLE.

Boucher (Vol. v, pp. 91, 142-4). — I have several pages of
MS. dated Sarum 1744, relating to a case in the Consistorial
Court re Tithes at Bromham. The writer is William Boucher,
and his correspondent is James Yorke, Attorney of Wells.
Now if R. B. will refer to the pedigree of Selfe given in

192 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

No. 44 of IV. N. &> O., he will note that James Yorke was
brother-in-law to William Stone, Vicar of Ogbourne St.
George, and I can add that there was great intimacy between
the two. It is possible, therefore, that the acquaintance
between Yorke of Wells, and Boucher of Sarum, began at
Ogbourne, if, as R. R. states, there was a family of Boucher
living at Ogbourne at the time. These points may be con-
sidered to raise a probability that Boucher of Ogbourne, and
Boucher of Sarum, were a-kin. I presume the latter was a
lawyer, though it is not expressly declared in the MS.

T. G. J. H.

Trowbridge (Vol. iv, p. 91-92). — Frog Lane: — This, I
think, denotes being, as it is, a lane between high banks, and
consequently damp, would be a great resort for frogs. Cradle-
bridge : — There was a Cradle Foot Bridge there, which I well re-
member, before the present one was built. Roundstone Street: —
I remember about 58 years ago seeing the road being opened
at the north-east corner of Polebarn Road, and the excavators
laid bare a large round stone, about two feet below the surface
of the road. I do not know if this stone was the origin of the
name, nor do I know if the stone was removed. Rodney
House I heard in my youth was named after Admiral Rodney,
as was a large Beer Vat at the George Hotel, Trowbridge, and
it used to be a common saying about any person who was a
hard drinker ll he could drink the Rodney full of beer and not
be drunk". The Parade : — 1 do not know the origin of this, but it
was the meeting place of soldiers when passing through the
town 100 years ago, which my father remembered; and also
50 years ago, when so many troops passed through the town
going to the Crimea. Wicker Hole : — This was called after
the Wicker dam made there in the days of the Castle.

MARCH, 1906.

STOKES OF SEEND.

HE surname and place-name of Stokes is, or was,
very common throughout the whole of England,
so common that it is even mentioned — perhaps with
some contempt — in a famous address to a jury in a
certain notorious action for breach of promise!
When two or more branches of a family bearing so common a
name, have been separated for generations, when the records
of such families have been dispersed or neglected, or when one
is desirous of trying to connect two such families, who, as far
as one knows, may be strangers in blood, the subject is
exceedingly difficult, and may be well-nigh too laborious, so
that the searcher after truth may think it wise to pay heed to
the Apostle's warning to Timothy.

We ask then for the authority of the Stokes pedigree,1 and
the name of its compiler ; also for the authority for tracing the
descent of Stokes of Seend and Titherton Lucas, from Adam2

1 Miscell. Gen. et Her., 2nd Ser., ii, pp. 25-31 ; " Stokes Bible entries,
and M.I.", New Ser., iii, pp. 309, 330.

2 An Adam de Stokke, alderman of the Ward of Lombard Street,
witnessed, in the Lord Mayor's Court in the London Guildhall, a charter
dated 50 Edw. Ill, 1376. According to the late Canon Jackson, the Bedwin
coat (pp. 194) is not on record in the College of Arms ; he also adds that

and Roger de Stokke, in the parish of Great Bedwin ; the
arms on their supposed monument in that church are quite
different to those that head the pedigree, being — Argent Jive bars
gules, on a bend betiveen six martlets sable, three escallops or
(? argent).

The first one mentioned as of Seend is Thomas Stoke
[Edw. Ill], alleged to be the third son of the above Roger,
and then follow five generations, with dates, but with no
marriages, until we come to the well known John Stokes of
Seend, and then his wife is simply Alice, continuing with his
eldest son John, married to Agnes, who had a son John,
married to Margery, daughter of John Nicholas of Round-
way; then comes the
bare mention of their
eldest son, William,1 of
Seend, under whose
name at intervals,
without any mark of
connexion, occur those
of Nicholas, William
and William, all de-
scribed as of Seend.
The rest of the pedi-
gree is concerned with
the descent of Stokes
of Tithertonfrom John
Stokes, a bare name,
second son of the above John and Margery; what is the
authority for this last statement ?

Edmund Stokes, of Titherton (the first name in the
pedigree, entered at the Visitation of Wilts, 1623, signed by

SHIELD AT HEAD OF STOKES PEDIGREE

1 We see that a William Stokes buys land at Seend of Edward
Nicholas, 7 Eliz., W. N. $ Q., vol. v, p. 179. See also Stokes' names in that
interesting pre- Reformation document " Stocks of Seend Church", W. N. % Q.,
vol. ii, pp. 528-30.

Stokes of Seend. 195

his grandson Thomas), is alleged to be the son of the above
John, and grandson of John and Margery Stokes; the family
is not entered in the 1565 Visitation of Wilts.

This Edmund had a brother Christopher,1 who is
described as of Stanshawes Place, co. Gloucester, 1566 ; from
him and his wife Ann (Lester), of Christian Malford, descended
Captain Thomas Stokes (son of Richard Stokes, of Calne),
and his wife Eleanor (Lambert, of Boy ton), who married, 1724,
Sarah, the eldest daughter of Edward Stokes, of the Titherton
line, she being born in 1703.

This pedigree, when the writer had permission to print it,
belonged to Dr. Adrian2 Stokes, now deceased, late of Sidmouth,
conspicuous for his musical abilities, (grandson of Adrian
Stokes, of Stanshawes) ; we believe it is now in possession of
his son, Adrian Stokes, the well known artist. It is three-

1 In the Visitation of Gloucester, 1623, he is described as son of
Thomas Stokes, of Lucas, co. Wilts (i.e., Titherton), and himself and his
son Anthony, as of Slaughtenford, co. Wilts, his grandson Christopher
being described as of Stanshawes, co. Wilts (sic).

2 Presumably this name is derived from Adrian Stokes, who married as
her second husband, the Dowager Duchess of Suffolk (Grey) ; apparently one
of the Gentlemen of her Household ; she, Frances, was daughter of Charles
(Brandon), Duke of Suffolk, and of Mary Tudor, Dowager Queen of France,
daughter of Henry VII ; mother of Lady Jane Grey ; her descendants, and
those of her sister, were declared in the Act for the Protestant Succession,
next in reversion to the Throne of England, failing the line of Brunswick ;
she was buried in Westminster Abbey, 1559, her epitaph running, "Nupta
Duci prius est, uxor Armigeri Stock." (Complete Peerage!) In a letter to the
writer in 1880, Colonel Chester, that famous and indefatigable genealogist,
always most courteously ready to give information to those who sought it,
writes :— " The arms on the west end of the monument erected to his wife
by Adrian in 1563 are— Quarterly, 1 and 4, Ermine, three bars humetty azure
charged with ears of corn or, four on the first and second^ and three on the
third. 2 and 3, Or, a lion rampant double queued named. STOKES, im-
paling BRANDON, and quarterings ..... he married her when she
was in distress and disgrace. She left all her estate to "Adryane Stokes,
Esquire," sole exor. (19 Nov. 1559). I have also a marriage licence from
the Bishop of London, 10 April 1572, for Adrian Stokes, Esq., and Dame
Anne Throgmorton, of London, widow; she was a daughter of Sir Nicholas
Carew, and widow of Nicholas Throgmorton, Ambassador to France, &c.
Adrian died 30 Nov. 1586, leaving his brother William, aged 60, his heir.''

quarters of a yard wide, and four yards and a half long,
composed of several skins glued together, and adorned with
numerous painted shields of arms.

The brass of John Stokes in Seend Church has been
many times printed, and more than once drawn, notably in
Kite's Wiltshire Brasses, and in Jackson's Aubrey's Collections.
The inscription, in gothic character, surmounted by effigies of a
man and woman, in the costume of the period, is as follows : —

Here lyeth lohn Stokys and Alys1 his wiff whiche lohne
decessed the xxviij of Ivne in year ot ovr Lord God thovsand
cccclxxxxviij on whose solvys I'hv have mercy. Amen.

ON A SILVER CUP IN POSSESSION OF THE STOKES FAMILY.

For many years it remained concealed under the pews,
and consequently is not to be found in Sir Thomas Phillipps'
valuable M.L of Wilts, but the Church being repewed, when
the late Mr. Wadham Locke was warden, it was found, partly
under the nave and partly under the north aisle ; the stone,
with the brass, was relaid in this aisle, where, with the matrix,

knowledge of the writer.

it may still be seen ; but the brass, for better preservation,
Canon Thynne has placed on the wall under the west window
of this aisle.

This beautiful late Perpendicular window — by some called
the Clothiers', by others that of Stokes — consists of four lights;
on the cusps, both outside and inside the church, are carved
rosettes, in the hollow moulding within are carved a pair of
shears, and our Lady crowned and sitting enthroned with her
Divine Child in her arms under a canopy; outside, in the hollow
moulding a pair of shears is repeated, and on the opposite side
a pair of scissors; on either side of the dripping-stone is a
carved figure in a sitting posture with a sort of top-knot hair-
dress and an angel bearing what may be a blank shield divided
into four quarters; from the battlement on the top of the
gable springs a small crucifix ; there are fragments of some
plain coloured glass1 in the small top lights.

Of this John Stokes little seems to be known, beyond
what we learn from his Will and Brass ; on further research
much more doubtless would come to light about a man in his
position. By tradition he was a clothier, borne out perhaps by
the shears in the window, although we have been informed that
in such a case a woolpack would have been more appropriate,
the shears being the device of weavers, e.g., the Exeter Com-
pany of Weavers bear on their shield that device; and is believed
to have built the north aisle, or largely contributed to it ; we
do not find his device in any other part of the church, as we
do the interlaced sickles of Hungerford, the rudder of Willoughby,

1 " The windows of this chappell were formerly well painted and
adorned with the pictures of the foundar, his wife and children, but about
the year 1648, in that rebellious sacril'gious and pretending age to Holiness,
these things were lookt on as superstition, and al the painted glass was
defaced and broken by William Somner of Sene." — Note on margin of
Pedigree. Aubrey says, " in this church has been a great deale of painted
glasse, with pictures of some of the Stokys' children, and in the high win-
dowes of the Nave, a figure in glass, and inscription in the margins under-
neath, which for want of a short telescope, I could not read." There are
now only two small pieces, figured with oak leaves and roses, on either side
of the clerestory.

the knot of Bourchier, and the (?) Nag's head couped of
(?) Bailey,1 suggesting that those families helped towards its
erection or repairs. Was he or his forbears, perchance, amongst
those brought over from Flanders by Henry VII or one of the
Edwards, "who built severall good houses yet remaining"?
Seend Church is dedicated to the Holy Cross, always and still
a great festival in that country.

It would be interesting to learn in what house he resided,
whether in an older house, formerly standing on the present
site of the Awdrys' house, near the Church, sometimes called,
although we believe wrongly, the Manor House, or in Seend
Green, or the Great, House, once the residence of the Somners,
ancestors of the present Duke of Somerset, now the property
of the Ludlow-Bruges family ; or in what other house ?

These two houses are built on the south side of this
beautiful hill, looking upon charming and extensive valley
scenery, richly wooded, and, when bathed in sunshine, pre-
senting to the eye ever-varying shades of peaceful green ;
"a lovely campania", with views over Potterne, Lavington,
Erlestoke, Edington, Bratton and Westbury, bounded on the
far-off horizon by lofty and commanding downs, which may be
called the commencement, or north boundary, of Salisbury
Plain.

there spreads the distant view,

That gradual fades till sunk in misty blue.

1 This device is near the window ; we shall see that one of this name
was closely related to the family ; a similar figure is on the nave, but horned ;
the rudder also occurs on this aisle, showing perhaps that Stokes was not
its sole builder. Why should this window be so elaborately decorated,
when that at the east end is quite plain ?

EYRE OF WILTS.

(Continued from p. 153.)

Another famous visitor to Eyrecourt was John Wesley,
who in his journal, under date April 1775, tnus records his
impressions :

Monday, I7th, I preached at Aughrim, and Tuesday noon at Eyre-
court. Afterwards I was desired to walk down to Lord Eyre's. I was
a little surprised at the inscription over the door, "Welcome to the
House of Liberty." Does it mean Liberty from sin ? It is a noble old
house. The staircase1 is grand and so are two or three of the rooms. In
the rest of the house, as well as in the ruinous outhouses, gardens and
fishponds, the owner seemed to say to every beholder, "All this profiteth
me nothing."

Lord Eyre m., in 1746, Eleanor, dau. of John Staunton of
Galway, and d. 3oth Sept. 1781, and was bur. at Eyrecourt,
having had issue a son, John, bapt. June 1747, and bur. at
Eyrecourt 4th July 1747, and a dau., Mary, who m. Francis
Caulfeild, son of the 3rd Viscount Charlemont. Mr. and Mrs.
Caulfeild, with an infant child, were lost in a hurricane in the
Irish Sea in 1775, their surviving issue being James Eyre
Caulfeild and Eleanor Caulfeild, who m. the Hon. William
Howard, 3rd Earl of Wicklow, an ancestor of the present
peer.

On the death of Lord Eyre without issue male, the title
became extinct, whilst the Castle and Estates of Eyrecourt
passed to his nephew, Giles, eldest son of his next brother,
Richard, who had predeceased him.

Capt. Richard Eyre (of whom presently).

Capt. Robert Eyre (mentioned in his father's will), d. Mar.

1792, bur. at Eyrecourt.
iv. James Eyre,
v. Susannah Eyre.

1 Supposed to be the finest staircase in Ireland, made of massive oak,
and exquisitely carved by Dutch carvers, who came over for that purpose.
In my book, History of Eyre of Ei/recourt and Eyreville, I have given plates
of this staircase, as well as of the Castle and portraits of Lord Eyre and
Col. John Eyre, the builder of the mansion.

Eyre of Wilts. 219

Capt. Richard Eyre, next brother to Lord Eyre, b. in
co. Cork in 1722, is described in a patent confirming the
" Eyre Arms " with a difference, to a member of the family in
1891, as "sometime a Member of the Irish House of Com-
mons," but I cannot find his name in any list of Irish M.P.'s.
He mar. ist, on June 2ist 1752, Emilia Trench of Garbally,
and by her (who is buried in St. Anne's Church, Dublin) had
an only child, Elizabeth. Capt. Richard Eyre mar. as his
second wife, at Modreeny Church, co. Tipperary, on i3th Jan.
1 764, Anchoretta Eyre, dau. of Samuel Eyre of Eyreville (by his
wife Charity, dau. and heir of Sir Thomas Dancer of Modreeny,
Bart), son of John Eyre of Woodfield and Thomastown,
eldest son of Col. Samuel Eyre, M.P. (by his wife Jane, dau.
of Edward Eyre of Galway, youngest son of Giles Eyre of
Brickworth) of Newtown Eyre, otherwise Eyreville, second
son of Col. the Right Hon. John Eyre, of Eyrecourt Castle.

Capt. Richard Eyre was bur. at Eyrecourt 3ist Mar. 1780,
having had issue by his wife Anchoretta Eyre, as follows :
i. Col. Giles Eyre (of whom presently).
Capt. John Eyre (of whom later).
Rev. Richard Eyre, LL.D. (of whom later),
iv. Samuel Eyre, bapt. at Eyrecourt 2oth Aug. 1772, bur.

there July 1808.
v. Capt. Robert Eyre, bapt. at Eyrecourt loth Oct. 1773, m.

Marie, dau. of the Hon. Paul Gore, and had a dau.

Sophia who went to Australia,
vi. Capt. Thomas Eyre (of whom later),
i. Charity Eyre, b. at Eyrecourt i2th Ap., bapt. i2th May

1765, and bur. at Eyrecourt i8th Aug. 1768.
ii. Jane Eyre, bapt. at Eyrecourt i6th Ap. 1770, m. Peter

Blake of Crumlin.
iii. Mary Eyre, bapt. at Eyrecourt i6th Dec. 1779, m. first a

Mr. Shewbridge, and secondly, at Eyrecourt, Nov. 6th

1804, John Montgomery.

Col. Giles Eyre of Eyrecourt Castle, eldest son of
Richard and Anchoretta Eyre, bapt. at Eyrecourt on i9th July

22O Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

1766, succeeded his uncle, Lord Eyre, in the Eyrecourt estates.
Col. Giles was the " John Mytton " of Ireland, and the
famous Master of the " Galway Blazers", a name which
originated in a more than a " John Mytton " escapade. Giles
took his hounds to Birr on one occasion, with many of the
hunt ; after a hard day's hunting, and ended up a night's
revelling in setting fire to the hotel they had put up at, thus
being henceforth known as the "Galway Blazers".1

The hunting song of the Blazers, which is found in
Lever's Charles OP M alley ^ has the following lines :
But ould Giles Eyre
Would make them stare
Av he had them with the Blazers.

Col. Giles Eyre m. ist, on Sep. 28th 1792, Anne, dau. of
Michael Daly, of Mount Pleasant, and 2nd, Sophia, dau. of
John Walsh, of Walsh Park, Tipperary, and d. in 1830,
having had issue (by his first wife) (a=children, b=grand-
children, c=great grand-children, d=g. g. grand-children of
Col. Giles), i a to 6a.

Col. Giles Eyre, b. i5th May 1794, m., 2ist Aug. 1818,

The Great Election Contest for Wilts in 1772. 227

THE GREAT ELECTION CONTEST FOR WILTS IN 1772.

Few election contests have excited more interest than that
for Wilts, August 1772. It was not a struggle between two
political parties. It was a moral contest, purity against cor-
ruption, independence against subservience.

Parliament had been falling lower and lower in public
opinion. Ever since the parliament of Charles II, that was
rightly surnamed the pensionary parliament, corruption had
been increasing. Place, pension, money, were freely dis-
tributed among the supporters of the administration. " Every
man has his price", was the cynical remark of the greatest
parliamentary leader. A pamphlet was published in 1739,
shewing the appointments held by the members that voted for
the Convention of Prado; the secret bribes of course could
not be stated. The corporation of Oxford offered, in 1768,
their representation for a payment of six thousand pounds.
The mayor and ten aldermen were placed in Newgate for this
oftence, and during their imprisonment completed the sale of
their borough to the Duke of Marlborough and the Earl of
Abingdon. Boroughs were bought up by wealthy men. Croker
(vol. i, 368) gives the number of members returned to the
House of Commons by the influence of peers. As many as
one hundred and fifty members were bound to vote as their
masters ordered. The Whig, Lord Darlington, with his seven
members, obtained a marquessate in 1827, and a dukedom in
1833. Sir James Lonsdale returned the younger Pitt in 1784,
and was at once made an earl. He controlled nine votes.
Lord Hertford, created a marquess in 1793, possessed eight
votes in the House of Commons. George Augustus Selwyn,
who returned three members in 1753, was appointed Chief
Clerk Registrar in Barbadoes in 1755, Paymaster of the
Board of Works in 1784, Surveyor General of Crown Lands,

Q2

228 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

and Surveyor of the Meltings and Clerk of the Irons in the
Mint ; these four offices he held at the same time. Barbadoes
he never visited, crown land he never surveyed, but once a
week he showed himself at the Mint in order to eat a dinner
which he ordered and the country paid for.

The parliament elected 1768 has been pronounced to be
the very worst parliament that ever existed. It deprived the
electors of Middlesex of their rights for six sessions. It threw
away the loyalty of our vast American colonies. The King
spent his large income on payment to members, maintaining a
most frugal establishment and almost penurious in his personal
expenditure, yet he was continually applying to parliament to
discharge his debts.

But in speaking of parliament we must draw a line between
the representatives of the counties and those of the boroughs.
The county members formed a class by themselves. They
were true aristocrats, indifferent to the frowns and favours of
the central government, while they were as proud of the con-
fidence of their constituents as of the extent of their estates.
The position of a knight of the shire was valued for itself, not
for what it might lead to. The freeholders proved a man
before they elected him, but, none the less, they were careful
to see that the services which he promised were duly given.
Confidence with them was no empty word. They permitted
their representative an almost boundless latitude of action in
parliament, demanding only that he should not be inactive.
In 1770 Lord Chatham, after dwelling on the corruption of the
small boroughs, declared that "the representation of the
counties is still pure and uncorrupted, that of the large cities
is upon a footing equally respectable, and there are many of
the larger towns which still possess their independence". John
Dunning moved, April 1780, "that the influence of the crown
had increased, was increasing, and ought to be diminished".
The motion was carried by two hundred and thirty-three votes
to two hundred and fifteen, sixty-two county members voting for
it, and only seven against it. The liberties of England were in

The Great Election Contest for Wilts in 1772. 229

as much danger in 1770 through the pocket, as they had been
in 1640 from the sword.

The freeholders were very jealous of the titled magnates of
the county. They held that the Upper and Lower Houses of
Parliament should be kept apart, and that their own was the
finer institution of the two. The freeholders of Somerset
went so far as to pledge themselves not to vote for the brother
or son of a peer of the realm, or for a candidate whom a peer
supported. Henry Fielding, himself a Somersetshire man,
puts into the mouth of Squire Western, who is described as
owning an estate worth upwards of ^3,000 a year, "It is true
there be larger estates in the kingdom, but not in this county.
Besides most o' zuch great estates be in the hands of lords,
and I hate the very name of them mum". Tom Jones was pub-
lished in 1749.

On the death of Mr. Popham in 17 72, who had represented
the county since 1741, the freeholders of Wilts were astounded
at finding that Mr. Henry Herbert, the youthful grandson of the
Earl of Pembroke, who had been elected in 1768 as one of the
members of the pocket borough of Wilton, had resigned his
seat, with the view of being a candidate for the county. A
strong feeling was at once aroused.

Already, fifty years ago, the house of Pembroke had tried
to dominate the county. In the Wilts Arch. Mag., xi, we find
printed the interesting diary of Thomas Smith of Shaw House,
from which some extracts can be given.

"March 12, 1720-1, our talk concerning the public was of the dis-
solution of the parliament and the prodigious bribery now made use of
for new elections, which vile corruptions, I fear, are permitted by the
divine power as a scourge for our wickedness, for what greater punish-
ment can befall a nation, than to have the legislature itself have its
being from open bribery and baseness ?"

"March 21, a meeting was held at Marlborough of the gentlemen of
the county to name a person they thought proper to succeed Mr. Hyde,
he being both antient and infirm, and they came to the resolution that
Mr. Richard Goddard, of Swindon, should be nominated."

"April 3, our chief discourse was of the returns made for the parlia-
ment, and the vast and open bribery made use of in all parts of the
kingdom to that purpose."

230 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

"May 30, the chief talk we had was of Mr. Goddard's interest in the
county for knight of the shire, in Mr. Hyde's room, against Lord
Herbert."

The result was Mr. Goddard, who had already represented
Wootton Bassett from 1710 to 1713, and had served as High
Sheriff 1714, was returned without a contest for the county
and sat for it until his retirement in 1726. He died in 1732.

Forty years afterwards the freeholders of Wilts were
again compelled to assert their independence. October 1812,
at the general election, Mr. Wyndham retiring from the repre-
sentation, two political clubs, called respectively the Beck-
hampton and the Devizes clubs, claimed the right of nominating
the candidate. Their choice fell on Mr. Penruddocke. When
the great body of freeholders heard this, they made such
a demonstration, declaring that they would no more be in-
fluenced by clubs than their ancestors had been in 1722 and
1772 by the nobility, that Mr. Penruddocke, otherwise a most
excellent candidate, was withdrawn, and Mr. Methuen was
elected without a contest.

The desire for independence in 1772 was made stronger
by the state of the boroughs in the county. Not one of these
sixteen boroughs was free from the taint of corruption. In
1768, at the general election, George Selwyn received nine
thousand pounds for his double seat at Ludgershall. Petitions
had been presented against the return of almost every borough
in the county. One voter at Old Sarum returned two members.
But as such petitions came before the committee of the whole
House, the decision was made a struggle between the two
parties. Thus, in 1741, the High Sheriff of the county, who
lived in Chippenham, and had great influence among the voters,
was actually seized, and on a trumped-up charge, lodged in
Devizes gaol until the election was over, by the partisans of
one of the candidates. A petition was of course presented.
It was decided by a majority of one vote in favour of the
sitting member. The decision was a trial of the strength of
the two parties, the result being the fall of Sir Robert Walpole

Corriatt and Saint &arbe. 231

from power. In Wilts Arch. Mag., vol. ii, p. 181, a full account
of this monstrous incident is given.

Mr. Ambrose Goddard, of Swindon, was chosen to fight
the battle of independence. His elder brother, Thomas, had
represented the county from 1767 until his death in 1770.
Both were cousins of Richard Goddard, of Swindon, who had
been returned in 1722 in place of Mr. Hyde. On the death of
Pleydel Goddard in 1742, brother and heir of Richard, the
property at Swindon, estimated as worth ,£3,000 a year, had
devolved on Ambrose, the father of Thomas and Ambrose.
The contest was most severe. A statement in the Wilts. Arch.
Mag., vol. xxi, p. 328, is made that £20,000 was spent in one
week. The polling continued four days. The result was 1,870
votes were recorded for Goddard, against 1,055 f°r Herbert. Mr.
Goddard sat for the county until the end of the parliament in 1 806.
He died in 1815, leaving two sons, Thomas, who represented
Cricklade 1806-12, and Ambrose, M.P. for Cricklade 1837-41.
Another Ambrose in the third generation was M.P. for Crick-
lade 1847-68 and 1874-80. Thus for more than a century and
a half Goddards have been connected with the representation
of the county.

We must add that Mr. Henry Herbert, after his failure
for the county, was re-elected for Wilton. In due time he
received his reward. A grateful minister created him Lord
Porchester in 1780, and Earl of Carnarvon in 1793.

CORRIATT AND SAINT BARBE.

In the south aisle of Salisbury Cathedral is a mural monu-
ment to Elinor Sadler, who died, at the age of 80, on 30 Jan.
1622. She was the wife of (i) Hugh Powell, Registrar of the
Diocese ; and (2) of Thomas Sadler, also Registrar ; according
to the inscription on the monument she was lineally descended
from the Saintbarbes of Ashington, co. Somerset, and cousin-
german to Lady Walsingham, who was mother to the Countess

232 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

of Essex ; and above the inscription are the arms of (presum-
ably) POWELL, and those of SADLER, each impaling SAINT
BARBE.

In the Heralds' Visitation of 1623 (the late Dr. Marshall's
edition), Elinor Sadler is stated to have been the daughter of
John Coriatt of Sarum ; and assuming both descriptions to be
correct, it would be interesting to know what was the con-
nexion between the two families, Corriatt and Saint Barbe.

John Corriatt, in his will, 1568, mentioned his wife Anne
and several daughters, including Elionora, then unmarried ;
Hugh Powell's will, 1587, speaks of his brothers-in-law, John
Baylye, Robert Bower, Nicholas Hill, John Lynche, George
Corriatt and John Corriatt. Robert Bower married Margaret
Corriatt, at St. Thomas', Salisbury, 17 Nov. 1575, and in his
will, 1605, he alludes to his "sister Sadler" — no doubt meaning
sister-in-law. John Baylye, Nicholas Hill, and John Lynche
may safely be assumed to have married other daughters of
John Corriatt.

The Saint Barbe wills do not throw much light on the
question, but the pedigree printed by Sir Richard Hoare
(Frustfield, p. 10) shows Elinor, wife of (i) Powell, and (2)
Sadler, as daughter of Thomas Saint Barbe and first cousin
(cousin german) to Lady Walsingham. This pedigree was
communicated to Sir Richard Hoare, as he carefully states,
by the then head of the Saint Barbe family, and probably had
not been tested by him ; it appears to have merely followed
the inscription on the monument in the Cathedral in regard to
this particular lady. There was an Eleanor Saint Barbe at the
time, as Thomas Saint Barbe, who made his will in 32 Eliz.
(1590), mentions his sister Elinor.

Elinor Sadler was then the widow of Hugh Powell and had
not married her second husband. Edward Saint Barbe, of
Whiteparish, 1616, and William, prebendary of Hereford 1619
—both of them first cousins to Lady Walsingham — make men-
tion of Cousin Sadler. The first entreats him to be overseer
of his will, the other leaves him (or her) some books.

Cartularies of Wilts Abbeys, 6-T. 233

I find no mention of Corriatt in the Saint Barbe wills so far
examined, but I do find in Hoare, Old and New Sarum, p. 243,
a statement that William Saint Barbe, father of the above-
mentioned Edward and William, was constituted Rector of St.
Edmund's Church and College "in the person of his procurator,
John Coryet". This, however, only shows that the two men
were known to each other, and nothing else. I cannot trace
any Anne Saint Barbe at this time, nor any sister at all of
William Saint Barbe. And yet if Eleanor Sadler were cousin-
german to Lady Walsingham, lineally descended from the
Saint Barbes, her father or mother must have been of that
family. I am not overlooking the possibility of a cousinship
through Lady Walsingham's mother, but that I think too
strained an interpretation to put upon the inscription. The
only solution, therefore, seems to lie in the suggestion that
John Corriatt married a Saint Barbe, and, if the lady happened
to be sister of William, Eleanor Corriatt, as her daughter, would
have been cousin-german to Lady Walsingham. It may have
been that such a marriage, if it took place, did not meet with
the approval of the lady's family, and this may account for
the silence of the Saint Barbe wills. I offer this suggestion,
with no evidence beyond that of the monumental inscription
to support it, in the hope that some may be forthcoming, for
or against. And if it is eventually established as a fact I
should like to ask someone conversant with the practice of
heraldry whether it would authorize the impaling of SAINT
BARBE arms — those of a maternal grandfather — by the two
husbands. J. S.

236 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

WILTON. Strictly speaking, it was in 1827 (not "1830" as iv, 230) that
the Cartularium Saxonicum or Registrum Wiltunense, was
printed from Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 436. At the later date (1830)
Sir R. C. Hoare supplemented it by the issue of the metrical
Chronico7i Vilodunense, from Brit. Mus. MS. Cotton. Faustina B,
iii, pp. 194-258, in 1246 four-line stanzas. A prose extract he had
already printed from that MS. in the Registrum. Wiltimense,
p. 56. The rest he added in the Chronicon, pp. 140-1. Mr. C. R.
Straton, of West Lodge, Wilton, is at present engaged (1906) in
editing some documents belonging to the Earl of Pembroke, in-
cluding an extent and customs of the Abbey lands.

The reader must not suppose that all the entries in the
foregoing list relate to veritable Cartularies, or that they were
all overlooked by Mr. Kite and Miss Thompson. Where
complete Cartularies seem now to be not forthcoming I have
noted such extracts or minor evidences as I have come across.

CHR. WORDSWORTH.

Thomas Brodrick's "Late War in the Netherlands".—

Was the author of this book the son or grandson of Sir
Thomas Brodrick who married Catherine Nicholas, of Manning-
ford (iii, p. 545) ? It is handsomely printed and adorned with
several copper plates of maps, etc., and very numerous coats of
arms, with a list of over two thousand subscribers ; the author,
at the end of his preface, remarks : as I have the Honour of a
Catalogue of Subscribers to this Undertaking, perhaps the most
Glorious, as well as Numerous, that have hitherto appeared in
Print; So, I hope, I shall find them so well satisfied, as to En-
courage a greater Design I have in View. Was this hope ever
realised, and did he publish anything more ?

The compiler of the Dugdale notes may be interested in
learning that "Mr. Thomas Dugdale" was one of the sub-
scribers. X.

The Gule of August. — What does this mean ? ; it occurs
in the Inquisition of Humphrey de Bohun's lands in 1299.

Chandler.— Looking through W. N. <$•£?., I find that
there has been some correspondence about this family, and that
apparently a good deal of research has been entered on in con-
nexion with it. I am extremely interested in Family History,
and am anxious to trace back my ancester as far as possible.
Have any pedigrees been worked out ?

David Chandler, in the sketch pedigree below, was my
great-grandfather, and married at Melksham, 1808 ; his father,
I believe, also lived at Melksham. Any information would be
most acceptable.

Browne of Kington St. Michael, etc.— Any particulars of
information referring to this family would be very welcome.

Agnes Browne is mentioned in the Priory " Obit" book,
which was copied 1493, and Mary Browne, widow, was its
tenant at the date of its dissolution and grant to Sir Richard
Long.

238 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Bullock of Hullavington and its Neighbourhood.— Did

any of this family migrate to Preston, near Cirencester ?

Any particulars in connexion with the family will be
appreciated. Some became Quakers early in that movement
(see Quakerism in Wilts), and John Bullock was a customary
tenant at Kington St. Michael in 1517. J. B.

Myles (or Miles). — Thomas Myles was incumbent of St.
Mary, Marlborough, and of Preshute, circa 1647. Apparently
he was evicted from both these livings by the Commonwealth,
but was re-instated at Preshute 1662, and presented to Poole
Keynes the same year.

The family remained at Poole Keynes and Oaksey until
about 1800. The last entry referring to it in the Church
Register is 1762.

The above Thomas Myles is described in his matriculation
entry at Oxford as 18, in 1634, son of Richard Myles, of
Greatworth, Northants.

Any information, either prior or subsequent to above
dates, will be much appreciated. J. B.

"Eyre of Brickworth (vol. v, p. 148). Henry Eyre,
Rector of Sandford, died 1798, aged 43, m. ist, Sarah Penrose,
and 2nd, Frances Pettiward." I have been examining the
Registers of St. Martin's, Salisbury, and have found the
following entry: — "1783, Oct. 15, Henry Eyre, of the Parish
of Sandford, in the County of Wilts, Clerk, a Batchelor, and
Sarah Thorpe, of this Parish, widow, were married by Licence
by J. Simpson, Rector of Weyhill."

Was the maiden name of Sarah Thorpe, Sarah Penrose ?
At any rate the above entry throws additional light on the
matter, and may be of interest to those concerned.

Wiltshire and the Channel Islands. -Can anyone tell
me of any wool trade between these two localities, of which
Poole was perhaps the principal southern emporium ? Also
information as to the following families, which had branches
established in Wilts and Dorset :— Carey, Efford, Handcock
(Poole), Fashions, Blondell, Havilands, Henrys or Harris
(Salisbury), Francis, Le Marchant, or any persons said to be
from Guernsey ? There may perhaps be records of Channel
Island privateers and smugglers running in conjunction with
some of the southern counties.

ing a list of the Religious Houses in North and South Wiltshire ;
compiled chiefly from Bishop Tanner's Notitia Monastica.

Grafton (vol. iv, p. 524, vol. v, p. 48).— The statement by
the Editor of The Ancestor that this place is in Wilts is sub-
stantiated by the Inquisition of the lands of John de Havering,
1302, where he had assigned certain land for the maintenance of
a chaplain at East Grafton.

The manor of "Kynele" in the Earl of Arundel's Inquisi-
tion, 1302, should probably be printed "Keevil".

240 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Goddard Cup (vol. iv, pp. 91, 142, 234).— We read in
Chaffers' Marks and Monograms on Pottery and Porcelain, 1872:
"The godet was, according to Cotman, 'an earthen bole, a stone
cup or jug' ; it seems to have been a small earthenware cup or
tankard. The calix of a flower is called, in the French language,
godet. The name occurs in several inventories of the fourteenth
century. Among the stores for the King's ship, The George, in
1345, is an entry for nine godettes, called 'flegghes,' vs. \\]d. ;
and a large godett for the King x\jd.

" It was in succeeding times called a goddard. (Here follows
the passage from Stowe, quoted vol. iv,p. 234.) Gay ton mentions
in his Festivous Notes on Don Quixote, 'a goddard or anniver-
sary spice bowl drank off by the gossips'.

"Floris (p. 80) has 'a wooden godet or tankard'; and the
following quotation (temp. Hen. VI) shows it partook of the
form of the wooden mazer : ' also ij litil masers called goddards
covered, and another litil maser uncovered'."

SAGAX.

Cold Harbour (vol. v, pp. 43, 144).— I venture to put for-
ward what seems to me the most probable explanation of the
name, viz., that "Cold" is a corruption of Coal or Cole, mean-
ing charcoal, and "Harbour" is for "arbor", a technical term,
perhaps obsolete, used in iron-working. One would expect
therefore to find the name Cold Harbour in a woodland district,
where in ancient times iron ore was worked, and such has
been my experience in the two or three cases where I have
come across the phrase. The name will then belong to the
same class with Coleford, Colebrook, &c., &c., in all of which
charcoal is implied by the prefix. The name Coalpit is some-
times found in unexpected places ; here, too, an ancient charcoal
burning centre is to be presumed.

STOKES.

(Continued from p. 198.)

OUR other houses, smaller and of less importance,
may also be mentioned as the residence of this
family ; that of the Schombergs, for some time the
property of the parish, and now perhaps the most
ancient in the place, now occupied by Mr. Dickins,
C.B., the well-known Japanese scholar, and some time
Registrar of London University ; one which formerly stood
on the site of the present Seend Head House, once probably
the residence of the Dugdales, now owned and occupied by
Mr. Fry ; and two which were pulled down many years ago,
viz., that belonging to the Awdrys in the Lye, and another in
Church Lane adjoining the north-east side of the churchyard,
at one time occupied by the Purnells and Bragge-Bathursts.
However, this is all supposition, as we have never come
across any tradition of their actual residence.

We understand that neither of the pedigrees in the
Visitations mentioned above have ever been certified by the
officers in H.M. College of Arms, nor have the Arms they
bore been registered ; the Arms are not blazoned on their
pedigrees ; in that of Wilts there is an uncoloured Lion
rampant^ in that of Gloucester the Arms are coloured Sable,
a lion rampant his tail double, ermine, without any blazon.

242 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Stanshaw, which came into possession of Christopher Stokes,
is " an ancient manor in Yate, with a good house and estate ";
the present house now called " Stanshaw Court is a large and
handsome mansion of stone in the Early English style, erected
in 1874, and occupied by Mr. Robert Nathaniel Hooper".
Unfortunately there does not seem to be extant any engraving
of the former interesting old house.

On page 193 sup. we printed a note as to an Alderman
Adam de Stokke, which we copied some years ago from one
of the well-known deed catalogues issued by Mr. James
Coleman, of Tottenham ; Mr. A. B. Beaven, compiler of a
Register of London Aldermen, now in the press, points out
this as an error ; the deed has been wrongly described ; the
chief magistrate at that time was not Lord Mayor ; there was
no Ward designated Lombard, but Langbourn, and the
Alderman's name was Adam de St. Ive, his predecessor being
Adam de Bury. We see that Mr. Anson Phelps Stokes of
New York has not copied this mistake in the notes he is
collecting about his family.

Thomas Stokes, a lawyer, who lived in Queen Square,
Bristol, in the eighteenth century, bore for Arms, i and 4
STOKES, 2 and 3 a pheon between three beehives — whose arms
X were these ? impaling i and 4 STOKES, 2 and 3 a bend between
three escallops. ? COTTERELL. Of what family he was some
of our Bristol readers might inform us.

There is no one of the name now in Seend, and those
who do live in the neighbourhood are mostly of humbler rank.
Whether those who lived in Seend in the lyth and i8th
centuries were of the same stock we are not yet certain, how-
ever they were persons of some substance, becoming
churchwardens (although Sir Walter Raleigh in his famous
speech in Parliament described such, as " men of mean rank ")
and parish land trustees, and the daughter of one of them
married into a Berks Visitation family ; these men are invari-
ably described yeomen, not clothiers, in the Jacobean deeds
belonging to the parish. And, again, we are not certain

Stokes. 243

whether all those whose Wills and Deeds we give below were
of the same stock.

Surrey 1623, but this marriage is not mentioned. The arms : Sable, a fess
or between three children's heads covped at the shoulder proper crined or,

TOTHILL.

There is a farm called Toot hill, on rising ground on the
North side overlooking the Great Western Railway between
Swindon and Wootton Bassett, but though on rising ground
it has no special or peculiar character to account for a name
which is common in many parts of England as applied to
steep " Look-out " or observation hills or mounds.

There are instances of these mounds on the North side
of Peterborough Cathedral (" an earthen mound known as the
Toot hill ") at Ely, Canterbury, Oxford, Westminster, Nettle-
combe Tout in Dorsetshire, and the fairy toot Longbarrow
in Somersetshire. The Bel toute Lighthouse between Beachy
Head and Seaford (which till quite lately was on the very top of
the cliffs and is now rebuilt below) is another instance of the
name. At Carmarthen there is one called Twt hill — from
the Welsh word twdd pronounced tooth — which simply means
that which projects?

The word occurs in Sir J. Maundeville's Travels " in that
littyell Toot hill wolle he "sitten oftentyme for to take the
ayre " etc.

In Piers Plowman1 s Creed we read, "Then toted I in at a
tavern."

In Wycliffe's Bible, Isaiah xxi, 5, " Sett the bord, behold
in a toot hill!' a^as " Biholde thou in to a toting place."

1 Philological Transactions, 1845, p. 283.

262 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Ibid., 8, " Upon the toot hill of the Lord I am stonden
contynuelly bi day," alias " I stonde contynueli bi dai on the
totyng place of the Lord."

Ibid., 6, " Go and put a tootere" alias " Go thou and
sett a lookere."

Jeremiah xxxi, 21, " Ordeyne to thee a toting place,"
which reads " high heaps " in our translation.

In our Bible, toot hill is translated " watch-tower," and
tootere " watchmen."1

Skeat gives, Tout E.=to look about; toten M.E.^to peep;
totian to project — allied to Icelandic tota=peak of a shoe ; tuta
=peak. The original sense was to project; hence to peep
about and finally to tout for custom.

In Tothill Street, Westminster, the name Toot still
survives. The street was built on Tothill fields in the
thirteenth century, called Tote hill.2 Norden, a topographer
in Queen Elizabeth's time, speaks of "Tothill taking its name
from a hill near it, which is called Toote hill, in the great field
near the Street."3 The street is shewn on a map by Newcourt
in A.D. 1658. At the time of the great plague, A.D. 1665,
Tothill fields was the site of a Pesthouse, a drawing of which,
after a print by Hollar, can be seen in Craik and Macfarlain's
Pictorial History of England, vol. v.

This Toothill, which was removed in the middle of the
seventeenth century, was probably used from whence to
watch the Roman Road — Watling Street — which passed
close to it, crossing three-quarters of a mile of marsh on a
causeway, in what is now St. James' and Green Parks, going
northward along the present Edgware Road towards Chester ;
and southwards through Thorney Isle (Westminster) over a
ferry or ford across the Thames to Stangate (still the name of
a street near St. Thomas' Hospital), from whence one branch

2 Archccoloijlcal Journal, xxix, 142.

3 Encyclopedia of A ntiquarie, ii, 582.

Tothitt. 263

went to Rochester and Dover, and another branch, called
Stane Street, through Tooting (evidently another place for
watching the road) to Chichester.1

The fields in which the Toothill stood are connected with
the history of Westminster in several ways. Tournaments
were held there on grand occasions, as in A.D. 1226 at the
coronation of Queen Eleanor. Here, later in the same reign,
the Prior of Beverley entertained the King and Queen, etc.,
in tents erected on the field.

" Here executions were carried out and necromancers
punished. A great fair was held here on St. Edward's day,
Oct. 12, and for 15 days after, instituted by Henry III in the
hope of doing mischief to the City of London ! "2 It was the
resort at night of all the ruffians of Westminster, and a
favourite place for all lovers of the old English games of
Cock fighting, Bear and Bull baiting, prize fighting, etc.

One of the curious old Deeds exhibited in the Chapter
House at Westminster shows how the Dean and Chapter
were called on to exercise their authority over this part of
their jurisdiction to maintain proper order in these fields at
the time when Londoners assembled there for games — but
where — the deed goes on to remark — the dead horses left on
the ground were a serious nuisance !

But saddest of all the memories connected with Tothill
fields is that of the triumphal entry of Cromwell into London
after Worcester — when he brought with him his prisoners.
From the Churchwardens' accounts of the Church of St.
John the Evangelist, we learn that " to T. Wright was paid
for 67 load of soyle laid on the graves in Tothill fields,
wherein 1200 Scotch prisoners, taken at the ffight at
Worcester, were buried, and for other paines taken with his
teame of horsse about amending the Sanctuary Highway
when General Jreton was buried, xxxs".

- From Sir Walter Besant's Westminster.

264 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Toot hills, whether natural or artificial, were clearly
places from which the country round could be seen, and the
approach of the enemy proclaimed, or, as in the case of the
Bel toute Lighthouse, warning given to the ships passing
the rocks below. "Touting it all over the place" is an
expression still used in the Midlands to mean telling tales,
like the touting of a horn. In Skeat's Glossarial Index to
Chaucer, the word " totelere " is translated " tattling". There
is no evidence at present forthcoming to show that Toothill
near Swindon is anything more than a natural eminence ;
but those at Canterbury and at Oxford and many others
were probably British strongholds, made use of later for

other purposes.

CORRODY.

In the inquisition after the death of Edmund Ford, 1439,
who owned a third part of the manor and advowson of North
Wraxhall, among the assets is mentioned a Corrody at
Malmesbury Abbey. This is described as the right of
sustentation on each day of the year, in bread, beer, wine, and
other victuals, and in candles, fuel, and other necessaries, as
are served, or ought to be served, to the Prior for the time
being, for that day.

Corrody, conredium, equipment or provision, is a form of
the word curry. Redo means order, and is the root of ready
and array. Blackstone calls corrody an incorporeal heredita-
ment, a species of allowance in food payable by religious
houses to their founder or benefactor. A part of the royal
revenue used to be the right of the sovereign to a corrody out
of every bishopric, that is, the right to send a chaplain to be
maintained by the bishop until he conferred on him a
benefice.

Now, in 1274, Godfrey de Wrokeshale granted to the
Abbey of Malmesbury all his lands and tenements in his fee
at Colerne, reserving a yearly payment of five pence at
Michaelmas, and the rights of scutage and hidalge and the
reasonable aid when his eldest son became a knight and his
eldest daughter was married. Godfrey, Geoffrey, and Eustace
de Wrokeshale held the manor, and presented to the Rectory
up to 1349. Eustace is named in the Testa de Nevill (1250) as
seised with two knight's fees in Wrokeshale. Formerly, in
the church was a battered monument in freestone of a cross-
legged knight. One of this family founded a chantry to our
Lady for prayers to be made for his soul, and endowed it
with houses and land. Even now in the parish is a wood
called Chantry wood.

No doubt, then, that this corrody was an acknowledgment
of the bounty of Godfrey in granting his property in Colerne

Sarum Use. 283

to the Abbey of Malmesbury. In the Valor Ecclesiasticus
we find it noted that Sir Henry Long and his heirs for ever
claim a corrody in Malmesbury Abbey of seven white loaves
and seven flagons of beer every week, valued per year at sixty
shillings.

The tithing man at the View of Frankpledge pays for
the two Rewmen ; what does Rew mean ? Can it be Reeve-
men ? F. HARRISON.

SARUM USE.

Previously to 1836, when an Act of Parliament was
passed appointing Commissioners to regulate changes
in the constitution of cathedrals, the manner of electing
residentiary prebendaries differed in the cathedrals of the
foundations older than the time of Henry VIII. In Salisbury
the chapter could make any prebendary into a residentiary.
Such also was the practice in Exeter, Chichester, and Here-
ford. In Lichfield the bishop had the power to appoint, but
only a prebendary. In Lincoln the bishop had a free hand
and could appoint anyone otherwise qualified. In York the
custom was unique, on a vacancy the first prebendary that
met the dean could claim to be appointed a residentiary. In
London the Crown nominated from the prebendaries. — Bacon's

The Chapel at Bowden, near Lacock.— In the Calendar
of Papal Registers published by the Record Office, the
following entry will be found (vol. ii, p. 17) : —

(COMMON LETTER). 11 kal. Sept. 1306.

Bordeaux, fol. 26d. — "To Henry, Earl of Lincoln, and
Margaret his wife. Licence to have a chaplain in the Chapel
which they have built in honour of St. Mary and St. John

284 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Baptist in the manor of Benedoune in the diocese of Salisbury,
who, with consent of the abbess of Lakoc, and the rector of
Lakoc, shall celebrate divine service therein."

" Benedoune " is very possibly a misreading of Beuedoune
or Bowden, and if this conjecture is right, we may trace a
connexion between Beue-doune on the top of the hill, and
Beue-legh, or Bewley at its foot.

The Earl of Lincoln mentioned is Henry Laci, who
married, in 1257, Margaret, heiress of William Longespee III,
and died in 1311, leaving an only daughter Alice, who married
Henry, Earl of Lancaster. The Countess of Lincoln died
in 1309.

The chapel is probably the same as that described by
Aubrey as existing at old Bowden House ; see Jackson's
Aubrey (p. 93) : — " It is of ancient and strong freestone building,
a little chamber chapell yet remaining with the crucifix in
the window. March 6, 1625." The Editor adds that if the
chamber chapel was attached to a mansion it must have been
taken down with the old house about. 1770 ; but this must be
a mistake, as Dingley's History from Marble shews in 1684
the house built by George Johnson on the site of the old
Bowden House. It would be of interest if any of the readers
of Wilts N. & Q. could throw light on the possession at this
date of the manor of Beuedoune by the Earl and Countess of
Lincoln, as it has hitherto been supposed that the Longespees
parted with the whole of their interest in Lacock at the time
of the foundation of the Abbey in 1229.

Robert de Dorinton was Rector of Lacock in 1313 at the
time of the appropriation of the Rectory to the Abbey ; and
may be the " Rector of Lacock " mentioned above.

Myles or Miles (vol. v, p. 238).— I have referred to my
transcript of the Preshute Registers and find that —

Joseph, s. of Thomas Myles and Mary his wife, was born
7th May and bap. i2th May 1657.

Alington, s. of Thomas Myles and Mary his wife, was
born 22nd May and bap. 5th June 1661.

In 1683 there is an entry that " Mr. Thomas Myles, Vicar
of Preshut," was buried at Poole, loth November 1683.

In 1678, Henry Myles and Joan Deacon, both of St.
Mary's, Marlborough, were married. at Preshute, 25th April.

The Gule of August (vol. v, p. 236).— Gula August!, so
called from Gula, a throat, for this reason : —

" One Quirinus, a Tribune, having a daughter that had a
disease in her throat, went to Sixtus III, the Bishop of Rome,
and desired of him to see the chains that St. Peter had been
chained with under Nero, which request being granted, she,
kissing the chains, was cured of her disease ; whereupon this
feast was instituted in honour of St. Peter ; hence its name."

Gules of August. — Pettigal derives Gule from the Celtic
or British " Wyl " or " Gwyl", a festival or holiday, and
explains " Gule of August " to mean the holiday of St. Peter
ad Vincula in August, when the people of England paid their
Peter Pence. This is confirmed by Blount, who tells us that
Lammas day, called the "Gule" or "Yule" of August, may be
a corruption of the British word " Gwyl Awst " or feast of
August. Vallancey says that "Cul" or " Gul" in Irish
implies a complete wheel, a belt, an anniversary. Spelman
observes that it often occurs in ancient legal parchments, for
the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula.

Vallancey cites Cormac, Archbishop of Cashel in the
tenth century; " in his time four great fires where lighted on
the four great festivals of the Druids, viz. : February, May,
August, and November." T. S. M.

SAVERY AND SEVERY GENEALOGY (Savory and Savary).— -
A Supplement to the Genealogical and Biographical
Record published in 1893, etc., by the author, A.
W. SAVARY, M.A., Annapolis Royal, N.S. Boston:
The Fort Hill Press, Samuel Usher, 176, 184, High
Street, 1905.

Those who already possess Judge Savary's book, or
those who bear the like surname, will be pleased to see the
issue of this Supplement, which corrects many errors, and
supplies additional matter.

A Thomas Savery, son of Thomas and Alice, was baptised at Pre-

shute, Wilts, July u, 1613 The oldest parish records of

Aldborough, seven miles from Marlborough, are said to abound with
the names Thomas and Anthony Savery, but, unfortunately, they do not
date back further than 1637. An Anthony Savery was a prominent
resident of Aldborough in 1705.

After further study the writer is convinced of the possi-
bility that the Saverys of Devonshire were an offshoot of the
Wiltshire family, and this without derogating from the old
tradition that they " came originally out of Brittany " — we
suppose this comes from Burke ; and that

John Savary, of Westbury, Wilts, in the middle of the thirteenth
century, was the common ancestor of all of the name in the west
and south-west of England That he was the earliest pro-
genitor of the Wiltshire family who bore the name as a surname, and
therefore the common ancestor of the American and Wiltshire
Saverys, is by no means an extravagant idea. On the contrary it is very
likely. He or his father may have been from Brittany. The name of
John Savery, of Westbury, occurs very often in the records of that
period,

288 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

and he proceeds to make numerous quotations from the
Inquisitions and Fines in the Wilts Arch. Mag., and W. N. 6*0.,
"those two publications so interesting to antiquarians."

The author has as yet found no answer to his query
about " the French in Westbury " (W. N. & £>., iii, 184).

This Supplement fills fifty-eight pages, and is illustrated
with photographic portraits of the author and his wife, and
two other portraits of members of the family; it has two
indexes, and an appendix of several poetical effusions of the
author's daughter, which, however good, might well have been
omitted perhaps from a work of this sort.

PARISH REGISTERS.

We should like to call our readers' attention to the useful
and valuable work being done by Messrs. Phillimore and Sadler;
they have recently issued, by subscription, from the press of
the former in Chancery Lane, the first volume of Parish
Registers (Marriages), belonging to the following parishes :
Mere, Monkton Deverill, Kingston Deverill, Sherston Magna,
Alderton, Sopworth, Grittleton, and Leigh Delamere ; of these
the Registers of Mere go back to 1561, eleven years earlier
than those of Grittleton, the next in order of date, 1573, and
forty-five years earlier than those of Alderton, the third
oldest, 1606 ; the three first parishes, Mere, Monkton, and
Kingston, are from the transcripts of Mr. T. H. Baker, and
thanks are due to the Rev. W. Symonds for his valuable
assistance in the neighbourhood of Sherston.

The Editors will gladly welcome further help in the
transcription of Wiltshire Registers. Without such volunteer
assistance the issue of this series would not be possible.

Erratum. — The date of probate of Will of John Ware
(vol. v, p. 1 88) should be 1409 instead of 1547.

SOME WILTSHIRE SPRINGS AND HOLY WELLS.

In 1893 Mr. Robert C. Hope gave forth his Legendary
Lore of the Holy Wells of England (&vo, Elliot Stock, 62 Pater-
noster Row), which, I think, has not been noticed in our
county antiquarian magazines. Among "works consulted"
he names Aubrey's Gentilisme and Judaisme, but not Canon
Jackson's edition of Aubrey's Collections. Barely half a page
seems to suffice for Wiltshire ; but readers may be glad to
have a reference to the three local waters named : —

1. A prophetic stream at Fonthill Episcopi, towards Hindon,

p. 170.

2. The waters at Morecome Bottom, in Broad Chalk, pre-

saging scarcity of corn (ibid.).

3. Banerstock, Merry well [so printed on pp. 170, 217;? a

misprint for Baverstock], sovran for diseases of the eye
(ibid.).1

The first and second of these are noted in Mr. James
Britten's appendix to Aubrey's Remaines of Gentilisme and
Judaisme (1687), edited for the Folk-Lore Society in 1881,
p. 244. There it is further noted from an un-named authority
in Royal Soc. MS., f. 69, that "Mr. Ax tells me that some-
where in Wiltshire, between Ingepen and Andover, there
breaketh out a rivulet against a Dearth".

A few references might have been given to Aubrey's
Wiltshire Collections (1659-70), ed. J. E. Jackson, 4to, 1862.

4. Holy Well'm St. Peter's, Biddeston (Jackson, 52^).

5. Holy Well\u Chippenham parish (ib. 72).

6. Hancocks-Well m Luckington (ib. 105).

7. May den-Well in Kington St. Michael, mentioned in The

Leiger booke ofGlaston, i.e., Glastonburj^ (ib. 139).

1 Mr. Hope does not refer (under Berks) to the very curious account of
Bp. Ergham's decree in 1385, concerning a holy (or, as he said, idolatrous)
well at Bisham. It may be found at Lambeth, in MS. 590, f. 114, or in
the contemporary Register at Salisbury, f. 76.

Eyre of Wilts. 309

8. AntedocWs Well in. Lydiard Tregoz (ib. 183).

9. Bery-well, in Crudwell. " Labourers say it quenches the

thirst better than the other water Query : If

medicinall or what effect it has? Try it." (ib. 216).

10. At Draycote, in Malmesbury Hundred, " the water is not

good for tucking or fulling-mills : it tinges the cloath a
little yellowish " (ib. 233).

11. 12. At Poulshot, several "brackish drawing- wells "

Water here, beneficial to " an hectique and emaciated
person". In the "highway towards Marston, in a
ditch, a mile from the Devises, is a spring which if you
putt powder of galls into it, presently becomes of a
deep claret colour" (ib. 300, 301).

13. Seend, mineral waters (ib. 303).

14. Stockwell, in Rowde. " I hope it may have the effect of

Epsham water The inhabitants tell me that it

is good for the eyes, and washes very well, and that it
is used for making medicines. At the fall of the leaf
the water in the ditches hereabout looks blewish"
(ib. 309).
To these we may add :—

15. Lady Well, or spring of the Blessed Virgin, below Tory

Chapel, Bradford-on-Avon. (Wilts Arch. Mag., i, 148;
v. 35; xx 319-20.)
Wiltshire readers can probably enlarge this list.

of Dunboy. His rule over Galway Town was marked
with great severity to the native Irish and the Catholics,
to such an extent that the Government refused to
support him, and he failed in his attempt to govern by
sheer force. He married twice, ist, Mary, daughter
of Charles Dartiquernave, and secondly, at St. Thomas',
Dublin, Mary Ann Echlin, widow, licence dated 17 July

MONUMENTAL BRASS TO THE GRANDFATHER OF
JOHN AUBREY, THE WILTSHIRE ANTIQUARY.

This memorial is, 1 believe, unnoticed by the late Mr.
Britton in his Memoirs of Aubrey, published by the Wiltshire
Topographical Society in 1845. ^ is affixed to the east wall
of the chancel of Burghill Church, near Hereford ; and repre-
sents two full-length figures, male and female, kneeling at a
prie-dieii, with two smaller effigies of children — a son and a
daughter — and the following inscription underneath them : —

Here lyeth buryed the Body of John Avvbrey, Esq., yongest sone of
William Awbrey, Doct. of law and one of the Masters of Request in
ordinary to Queene Elyzabeth, who dyed ye xjth of June 1616, being
about ye age of 38 years. He married Rachell the daughter of Richard
Danvers of Totun' [Tockenham] in Wiltshire Esq., by whome he had
issue one sonne and one daughter. God send him a ioyfull Resurrection.

On a shield are the arms of AUBREY — a chevron between
three griffin's heads erased, a mullet for difference. It is some-
what remarkable that there should be no coat of DANVERS
impaled, for Aubrey in noticing the shield of Sir Anthony
Hungerford who died in 1558 impa/ingihat of his second wife,
Dorothy daughter of Sir John Danvers, in the windows of
Down Ampney Church, remarks that the 20 quarterings of

In Kinson Churchyard, co. Dorset, is a head stone with
the following inscription : — To the Memory of | Robert Trot-

Extract, from an early minute book of the Society of
Antiquaries, vol. xix, June 24, 1784.

Letter from Mr. Barrington to O. Salusbury Brereton,
Esq. :—

"Labourers have been some time employed in levelling
the small mount in Tuthill field (Westminster) which you
must well remember, and so little remains at present that the

Green hill. 329

antiquaries of the next century will be puzzled whence these
fields may have obtained that name. I need not inform you
that the ground which encircles this small eminence is flat to
a considerable distance in every direction, and hence the
mount seems to have been raised in order to alarm the
neighbourhood on the approach of an enemy by sounding a
horn. When the person or persons thus employed could not
be heard, they might be distinguished in the attitude of
blowing on such a mount. There is an eminence near Car-
narvon which is called by the same name, Tuthill, and
probably for the same reason.

" Tutiau (in Anglo-Saxon), Tote (in German), and Toot (in
English), all signify to sound a horn or trumpet. It is well
known that Carnage was not an uncommon tenure in former
centuries, which was performed by blowing a horn on such
occasions."

Greenhill (vol. v, p. 189). — By an Inquisition on Sir W.
Povvlett, Kt., dated 1630, we find this family was of Ashton's
Far me, in Steeple Ashton. According to Henry's (not David)
large mural monument adorned with naval trophies on the north
wall of Stockton Church, he was born in that parish 2 1 June
1646, went to sea very young, made many voyages to the West
Indies, and visited most other parts of the known world. In
1676 did the Dutch signal service by burning and destroying
several French ships at Petit Guavas, for which he was
generously rewarded by the Lords of the Admiralty; [680,
the Royal African Company sent him to Cabo Corso Castle as
Agent-General and Chief Governor of Gold Coast; 1685,
elected an Elder Brother of the Trinity House, to the poor of
which Corporation he was a good benefactor; 1689, Commis-
sioner of the Transport Office; 1691, one of the Principal
Officers and Commissioners of the Navy, ob. 24 May 1708.

According to Schomberg's Naval Chronology, the follow-
ing are the dates of some of his appointments :—

Comptroller of the Storekeepers' Accompts, September 1702;
Commissioner at Portsmouth Dockyard, with a salary of ^500 per
aim., April 1695; Commissioner at Plymouth Dockyard, with a salary
of £500 per ami., and £\2 per ann. for paper and firing, December 1691 ;
and again, February 1704; Commissioner at Deptford and Woolwich
Dockyard at same salary, August 1703.

Henry Greenhill, R.N., was at Pepys' funeral, and re-
ceived a mourning ring. See Wilts Arch. Mag., xii, 119, fora
short account of this family.

Who then was David Greenhill, posted Captain R.N.,
according to the same work, March 5, 1689, "and in 1698,
when captain of the Eagle ketch, in North America, was
sentenced by a court martial to be degraded from his rank,
and serve as a volunteer on board the fleet ; he was after-
wards restored, and died Master Attendant at Woolwich
in 1716." SAG AX.

an award by Nicholas Hyde on 5 June 1619, of certain common
rights claimed by the citizens of Bath on lands called the
Grange and Farm of Barton, near Bath, inherited by William
Snigg, son and heir of Sir George Snigg, deceased. These
lands lay somewhere between Walcot and Kingsmead, and
afterwards called Bath Common ; amongst the witnesses is

MEMORIALS OF OLD WILTSHIRE, Edited by Alice Dryden,
Editor of Memorials oj Old Northamptonshire.
Bemrose and Sons, London and Derby, 1906.

The volume before us is by no means an unworthy addi-
tion to the interesting series of Memorials of the Counties of
England, now in course of publication by Messrs. Bemrose.

Notes on Books. 331

Like the volumes already issued, two of which represent the
neighbouring counties of Hants and Somerset, its contents
include a series of papers on the history and antiquities of
our county, and some of its former worthies, all specially
written and contributed by various authors.

Of these separate articles, the first, entitled Historic
Wiltshire, contains a sketch of the more noteworthy remains
of the county, from the earthworks of various kinds charac-
teristic of its downs, to the many architectural and other
remains of later periods, and the historic events connected
with them, ending with the reign of William III, since which
time "Wiltshire has been happy in having little or no
history."

The concluding paragraph on the Wiltshire of to-day,
may, we think, admit of question :—

"In brief, the history of Wiltshire is mainly a thing of the ancient
years, and as the history of the country has increased in importance, that
ot the county of Wiltshire has decreased, until at the present time she
sleeps in peace, untroubled by the turmoils of the world at large."

Under the head of Prehistoric Circles, we find a paper by
Sir Alex. Muir Mackenzie, in which the three notable remains
of this class — Stanton Drew, Avebury, and Stonehenge — are
taken together in chronological order, with remarks on their
date, material, mode of construction, and the method em-
ployed in early days for the transport of the larger stones.

Salisbury Plain furnishes a subject for Lady Tennant, who
contributes an interesting article, the accompanying illustra-
tion representing its characteristic shepherd with his flock, a
barrow, and the distant Plain forming the background. Salis-
bury, the Cathedral City itself, is well represented by an
article of seventeen pages, by Dr. Straton ; //s Politics in
Queen Anne's Days, forming an amusing sequel, when Burnet,
the "Whig" Bishop, at the close of the Sacheverel trial, in
1710, the result of which, as a triumph for the High Church
party of that time, was generally hailed with tumultuous
rejoicing, vented his political spleen at the city fathers in a

332 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

violent sermon in his own cathedral on the Sunday follow-
ing : —

"Tumults!" Riots! Mobs! being headed by Papists! expecting and
just ready to receive the Pretender and his friends the French"; with
" longing for the times of Popery again, and returning to our wallowing in
that mire."

The Salisbury corporation, who had, like many others,
addressed the Queen, congratulating her on this decisive
blow to the stability of the existing Ministry, received censure
equally severe ; with the result that when on the following
Thursday they attended St. Thomas' Church, and the Bishop
ascended the pulpit to preach the weekly "lecture", the
municipality, in a body, rose and left the church. The nar-
rative, whilst reflecting little credit on any of the parties
concerned, casts a curious light on election politics of the
early i8th century.

Of Wiltshire towns, three only claim a separate article—
Bradford-on-Avon falls to the lot of the Editor ; Mahnesbury
to Mr. Harold Brakspear, who has lately been engaged in the
restoration of its venerable Abbey Church ; and the Rev.
Canon Wordsworth contributes a third article on Mar/borough
in Olden Times.

The Royal Forests of Wiltshire, and Cranborne Chase,
furnish the subject for an interesting article by the Rev. J.
Charles Cox, author of the Royal Forests of England. They
were, we learn, more important and more considerable than
those of any other county, and included Clarendon, Melk-
sham, Pewsham, Braden, Savernake, and Chute, the three
latter containing red as well as fallow deer, which in Henry
Vllth's time suffered very severely from murrain. Their
oaks, by grant from the Crown, supplied many of the neigh-
bouring monasteries with building material, and their dead
wood with fuel.

Lacock Abbey, the foundation of Ela, Countess of Salis-
bury, with its architectural remains of the Early English, and
Renaissance periods, finds an historian in the Rev. W. G.

Notes on Books. 333

Clark-Maxwell. Three Notable Houses is the title of a paper
on the mansions of Longford, Longleat, and Wilton, in which
may be read the history of the finest periods of English
domestic architecture. In another article on Some Old
Houses, we find a description of the two well-known examples
of old manor houses of Great Chalfield and South Wraxall,
with others at Yatton Keynell, Potterne, Norrington, Brad-
field, Cadenham, Edington, Keevil, and Lake ; with an
alphabetical list of many others. Ancient Barns includes
the two remarkable specimens at Bradford-on-Avon and
Tisbury, both tithe barns of fourteenth century date, originally
attached to the " granges " of the Abbess of Shaftesbury ;
the magnificent timbering of the roof of the latter forming
the subject of an accompanying illustration. Other examples
are also noticed.

The Arundells of War dour ; the Rising in the West, 1655 ;
and Clarendon the Historian; form the subject of separate
articles, all pointing to the history of the Civil War period.
In William Beck ford of Fon thill, we have the oft-repeated
history of the eccentric author of Vathek, his " fairy " erec-
tion, and the various disasters which from time to time befel
the successive mansions on the Fonthill estate.

A memoir and portrait of the late Lieut.-Gen. Pitt-Rivers
most appropriately forms the subject of a separate article, for
to him the county owes much for his most careful and
thorough investigation of many of its earthworks and early
antiquities, of which a lasting record exists in his magnum
opus, the four volumes of Excavations, issued between the
years 1887 and 1898, to which a fifth volume has lately been
added by H. St. George Gray, the contributor of the present
article.

The concluding paper on Pre-Norman Sculptured Stones,
is from the pen of the Bishop of Bristol. His lordship
remarks the unusually direct and early evidence of the erec-
tion of stone crosses in Wiltshire, and apparently identifies
some remains of those mentioned by William of Malmesbury

334 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

as having been set up at each place where the remains of St.
Aldhelm, who died at Doulting in 909, rested on the way to
Malmesbury for interment. The large and interesting collec-
tion of Saxon sculptured stones, recently found at Ramsbury,
are also described and illustrated, as well as several other
examples of like interest, including one lately found at Ames-
bury. Ramsbury became one of the seats of the Wiltshire
bishopric in 909, and it seems not improbable that two body
stones with shafts of accompanying crosses, among the remains
found here, may be the memorials of early bishops — the first
of whom, Athelstan, died in 927, a date with which the sculp-
tural remains would well correspond.

The volume contains no less than 30 full page illustrations,
beautifully printed in half tone, the subjects being well
chosen, and is altogether a most interesting and readable
book, which will no doubt be welcomed by all lovers of our
county. E. K.

Beads and Cross from the Grave of the Foundress.

DECEMBER, 1906.

LACOCK ABBEY.

BEADS AND CROSS FOUND IN THE GRAVE OF THE FOUNDRESS.

HE annexed sketch is copied from a volume of origi-
nal drawings made by Grimm about the year 1790,
and now in the British Museum (Additional MS.,
No. i5,547.)1 The brief description which accom-
panies it is as follows :—

"Beads and Cross found in the Grave of the Foundress and
first Abbess of Lacock Nunnery ; now fastened to a pilaster in
the Cloysters, at present the Courtyard. August 1790."

The Foundress, as is well known, was Ela, the richly
dowered heiress of William, second Earl of Salisbury, who,
after her father's death, was, in 1198, given by Richard II, as
his ward, in marriage to William Longespee, said by some to
have been a natural son of Henry II and Fair Rosamond.
He died 1226, and six years after, Ela, in her widowhood,
and in accordance with a long cherished desire to erect
a house of religion "for the good of her own soul, as well
as that of her late husband, and all her ancestors", on the
1 6 April 1232, laid the foundation stone of Lacock Convent,
where, taking the habit of an Austin Canoness, she became,

in 1239, its first Abbess; and after a peaceful rule of nearly
eighteen years, resigned at Christmas 1256, and dying
24 August 1261, was most honourably interred in the choir of
the Abbey Church,1 where around her tomb twenty-five
candles were lighted daily throughout the year — a custom
which was continued until the final dissolution of the Abbey
in i539.2

In the following year (1540) its site and buildings were
granted by the Crown to William Sharington, of a Norfolk
family (afterwards knighted), who, having pulled down the
church and infirmary, converted the greater part of the re-
maining structure into a family residence, and thus, through
successive owners, have been preserved some of the most
perfect monastic remains which are to be found in the present
day.

The destroyed church, which was 148 feet long by 28 feet
wide, and without aisles, adjoined the present structure on the
south side. Its site has long been converted into a wide and
spacious terrace walk, which is mentioned by the Rev. George
Witham in a pamphlet on the history of the Abbey, printed in
1806 ;3 and it may have been in laying out this walk some few
years earlier, probably about 1790, that the grave of the
Foundress was disturbed, and her remains, as well as the
objects deposited with them, brought to light.

In the Chapter House were preserved two stone coffins —
one brought from Monkton Farley, which, from the curiously
contracted inscription on its lid, is known to have enclosed
the remains of Ilbert de Chat, a benefactor to that Monastery —

tic chaplain to the dowager Countess of Shrewsbury, then occupant of the
Abbey), at his own Press within the Abbey walls.

the date about 1187. The other coffin is described by Mr.
Witham, in 1806, as being

"by tradition that of a Nun, who was found entire in her Habit,
but was soon after the opening of the coffin mouldered into
dust."

It is a massive stone coffin, the upper part hollowed out for
the head; and from the local tradition in 1806, that it con-
tained a Nun in her Habit, it seems not improbable that the
remains were those of the Foundress Ela, and that with this
interment were also found the beads and cross seen by Grimm
sixteen years previously, fastened to a pilaster in the cloister.

Of what material these objects were composed, or what
eventually became of them, is alike unknown ; but on exposure
to the atmosphere, after an interment of five centuries, they
probably soon fell into decay.

The cross, as represented in the drawing, is by no means
inelegant, either in its proportions or decoration ; the smaller
one in the centre, which appears to have been hollowed out
below the level of the surface, may possibly have contained a
relic.

Part of the tomb of the Foundress Ela, removed from the
site of the Abbey church, is now preserved in the south alley
of the cloister, and consists of a Purbeck marble slab, 5! feet
by 4 feet, bearing the indent of its lost brass, apparently a
female figure, representing the deceased Abbess, surmounted
by a canopy and shields of arms. Round the edge is an incised
inscription in Lombardic characters, now partly illegible, of
which the following appears to be the correct reading :—

" Infra sunt defossa Elae venerabilis ossa

Quae dedit has sedes sacras monialibus aedes

Abbatissa quidem quae sancte vixit ibidem

Et Comitissa Sarum virtutum plena bonarum."

Englishman, which plain character bespeaks him eminently
possessed of all good and virtuous qualities. He lived greatly
beloved by all who knew him, and died much lamented on i4th
April 1685. In memory of so worthy a father and mother, their
dutious son, Edward Eyre, of Galway, esq,, has erected this
monument."

Edward Eyre had issue as follows : —

1. Edward Eyre of Galway Town (of whom presently).

2. Henry Eyre.

1. Jane Eyre, m. her cousin, Col. Samuel Eyre of Eyreville,

from which marriage the present Eyres of Eyrecourt
and Eyres of Eyreville descend.

2. Margaret Eyre, m.f first, Hon. Charles Annesley, youngest

son of Arthur, second Viscount Valentia and Earl of
Anglesey, who died in 1702. She m., second, Col.
Ambrose Edgeworth, who d. in Dec. 1710, and, thirdly,
Andrew Wilson of Piersfield, in co. Westmeath, who
died in 1725, and then, on 14 May 1726, took as her
fourth husband John Meares of Meares Court, co.
Westmeath, where she d., Sept. 1746.

Edward Eyre of Galway, eldest son of Edward Eyre,
married his second cousinf Jane Maynard, dau. of Sir William
Maynard, bt, of Walthamstow, Essex. He died in 1739,
and was bur. at St. Nicholas' Church, where are the following
Memorial Tablets to himself and his widow : —

"Here also lies Edward Eyre, esq., who erected this
monument. Hee died ye 5 of Nov. 1739, aged 76 years. Hee
married Jane, the daughter of Sir William Maynard, of
Walthamstow in Essex, baronet, by whom he had 4 sons and
5 daughters. His wife and 3 daughters survived him. He
left large charity to build an Alms House and maintain 12 poor
for ever."

On another handsome monument, immediately adjoining
the last, the inscription is as follows : —

"Near this place rests, in full assurance of a blessed
resurrection, Jane Eyre, daughter of Sir William Maynard,
baronet, and relict of Edward Eyre, late of Galway, esq. She

was a loving and obedient wife, a careful and indulgent mother,
affable and courteous to her acquaintance. Her piety, pru-
dence, and well-disposed bounty to the poor, giving bread to the
hungry and clothing to the naked, made her a worthy example
of her sex. She took leave of this world on the 29th day of
December, 1760, in the 88th year of her age, resigned herself
into the hands of her Redeemer, with a lively faith, a steadfast
hope, and that charity which never fails to obtain an inheritance
among the Saints in light. Two daughters, Elizabeth and
Margaret, survive her."

The sum of ,£300 was given by the widow, Jane Eyre,
to the Corporation of Galway for the yearly sum of £24 to
be distributed in Bread to 36 poor objects on every Sunday
for ever.

Edward Eyre's sons appear to have died young and
unmarried. His daughters were : —

1. Jane Eyre, m. first, Simon Purdon ; second, Richard

Fitzpatrick.

2. Mary Eyre, m., Robert Hedges, from whom descend the

family of Hedges-Eyre of Macroom Castle, now repre-
sented by the Earl of Bantry, and the family of
Hedges-Maunsell-Eyre.

3. Elizabeth Eyre, m. William Rowan.

4. Margaret Eyre, m., first, Francis Annesley of Ballysax

(no issue), and secondly, Dominick Burke.

J. AUBREY'S "REMAINES OF GENTILISME AND
JUDAISME," 1687.

When I was a child I used to delight in turning over the
pages of Mr. W. J. Thorns' Anecdotes and Traditions, the
fifth publication of the Camden Society for 1838-9. It con-

c c

370 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

tained among other things many extracts from a work by
Aubrey which had been used also by Sir H. Ellis in 1813 in
his fuller edition of H. Bourne's (1725) and J. Brand's (1777)
Popular Antiquities, and further in a book called Time's
Telescope in 1826, at the suggestion of Ellis.

It was not, however, until 1881 that Aubrey's queer
collection of notes (with others by Bp. White Kennett) which
for nearly two centuries had remained enshrined in MS.
(Brit. Mus., Lansdowne, 231), was issued in print for \\~\zFolk-
Lore Society (W. Satchell, Peyton, and Co., 12, Tavistock St.,
Covent Garden) under the able editorship of Mr. James
Britten.

Some of the notes refer to Berks, Dorset, Eton College,
Gloucester, Hants, Kent, Oxon, Somerset, Surrey, Warwick,
Yorkshire, London, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Germany,
Lapland, etc. But, naturally, a good many of the customs
and traditions recorded by Aubrey, were noted in Wiltshire
or elsewhere in the West of England.

Having gleaned the references which relate to Wiltshire,
I have thought that readers of our local N. &> Q. might find
them of sufficient interest to justify printing the list.

REGISTERS OF SOMERSET HOUSE CHAPEL,

1714-1775.

The original registers of this Chapel having become, by
purchase in Christies' auction rooms, the property of Sir
Thomas Phillips, he printed, about 1831, an abstract of their
contents. The baptisms were rare, generally confined to
residents, and burials were still rarer, none taking place
without the warrant of the Lord Chamberlain (of these none
belonged to our County), but Marriages were numerous, as
they were at other private chapels in the first half of the
eighteenth century. The Chapel was finally closed 1775, and
soon after removed, with the rest of the old palace.

In 1862 Mr. James Coleman, then of Bloomsbury, now of
Tottenham, printed a copy with notes. The following are
extracts referring to Wilts :—

Heathcote Monument.— Can any of your readers give
information as to where the handsome Heathcote Monument,
now in the north transept of St. John's Church, Devizes,
formerly stood ? The suggestion has been made that it was
formerly placed on a wall which bricked up the eastern end of
the southern transept, near the Beauchamp Chapel. There is
at present a Heathcote Monument in the southern transept,
and the family vault is there. An interesting feature of the
fine monument in the north transept is the Cap of Liberty,
held at the end of a stick, which reposes in the hand of the
recumbent figure. I believe that during the revulsion of feeling
caused in England by the excesses of the French Revolution,
the cap was taken down and buried; but it was recovered and
replaced when the vaults were opened, prior to sealing down,
about half a century ago. R. D. GILLMAN.

Anthony's Walk. — A track leading from Ell Barrow
towards Netheravon is on some maps marked "Anthony's
Walk." Can any reader of Notes and Queries explain the
origin of the name ? W.

Savery. 375

Savery. — In 1674 and 1678 John Savery was fined for
disobedience to the military requirements of the laws of
Barbadoes. About the same time Jeremiah Savery suffered
there for a similar offence. The records of the Island show
that John was living there in 1663 and 1668, and was an
attorney, and that his widow, Elizabeth, evidently a
Quakeress, disposed of a large property by her will in 1693.
Can anyone say whether these Quakers were from Wiltshire ?
I was disappointed by not finding trace of them in the
records of "Quakerism in Wiltshire", in IVilts Notes and
Queries. Perhaps their English home was across the border
in South Gloucestershire. I should like to know something
about the origin and early history of the Gloucestershire
Savorys, and their relationship, if any, to the Wiltshire
family.

The existence in Barbadoes of an Anthony Savory or
Savery, who died there in 1682, led me to surmise that these
and others of the name who flourished in Barbadoes in the
seventeenth century were an offshoot of the Wiltshire Saverys,
among whom the name Anthony was remarkably common at
that period. A. W. SAVORY.

Annapolis Royal^ Nova Scotia.

Weare, alias Browne, of Marlborough. — Can anyone
tell me if any descendant of this family was living at Manton
or Overtoil or near, in 1700-20 ?

There is a small tablet in Overtoil churchyard to Robert
Brown, died Nov. 5, 1678; was he a descendant of the Weare,
alias Browne, of Marlborough ?

JOHN BROWN, OF MANTON. — In the will of John Brown,
of Manton, he gives to his grandson his estate called Weeks
Bargain. Can anyone tell me where Weeks Bargain is ?
The will is dated 1746. What is the meaning of alias ?

Had Richard Browne, of Lockeridge, in 1638, any sons,

and if so what became of them ?

Mortimer of. Studley and Bellefield House, Trowbridge,
Wilts. — Edward Mortimer, who died at Trowbridge in 1704,
married Katharine Houlton, dau. of ... Houlton of (? Brad-
ford, Wilts) and sister of John Houlton, who married Jane
Selfe of Benacre, Wilts, and also sister of Joseph, Robert,
Nathaniel and Benjamin Houlton. Edward Mortimer died an
old man, having at least five grand-children living in 1702, and
he was therefore probably born about 1630. John Mortimer,
the eldest son of Edward Mortimer, according to Burke's
History of Commoners, married Catherine, dau. of Joseph
Houlton of Trowbridge, but it is possible this may be
incorrect.

If any of your readers can kindly give me any informa-
tion relative to the family to which the said Edward Mortimer
belonged, I shall be extremely obliged ; also, if they could tell
me the name (christian) of his wife's father. I shall also be
obliged if they can tell me whether the pedigrees of the
following families exist, or give me any information about
them, viz. :—

Mortimer of West Kennett, Wilts, after 1660.
'Mortimer of Stockley, Wilts, after 1640.
Mortimer of Milton Lilburne, Wilts, after 1600.
Mortimer of Manton, Preshute, Wilts, after 1600.

Verses in Parish Register. 377

Yerses in Parish Register (vol. v, pp. 284-5).— The
ballad "Come over the bourn, Besse" ("or Bessy") appears to
have been popular in England in Elizabethan times and later.
Though the passage has dropped out in the first folio edition
of Shakespeare's K. Lear (iii, 6), the earlier and later texts
have made us familiar with the first line of the song (as sung
by Edgar, feigning madness), and it was taken up and
parodied by the Fool. This play, I believe, was written about
1605-6. A few years earlier (perhaps in 1580) W. Wager, in
his interlude, The Longer thou livest, the more Foole thou art,
introduced a snatch of the ditty as sung by the Fool, Moros.
The interlude is in the British Museum (c. 34, e. 37). But
the song is traced still earlier by Collier, who included it (as I
infer) among his Roxburghe Ballads. It seems to have had a
political reference attached to it at the time of Q. Elizabeth's
accession (17 Nov. 1558), though possibly it may have been a
folk-song even earlier. However, one or more lines of it
opened a Song, or the Dialogue, "between England and the
Queen," who is welcomed in that popular strain, in no less
familiar terms than those in which the Jacobites would sing
how "Charlie he's my darlin."

The opening lines should be thus printed :—

Coume ouer the borne, besse,

my lytill prety bessy,

swette besse, com ouer to me j1

ye water is nott depe,

be ware thou doo note slepe ;

but awake and come ouer to me.

So much of Mr. Nevill's extract is a citation from a
popular ballad. But the special point about the verses in the
register at St. Thomas', Salisbury, is that these six lines of

1 The Rev. Edmund Nevill bears out my suggestion that "come" was a
misprint for " to me" on p. 285, line 2nd, in Wilts N. 4' Q- vol. v.

ballad are moralised, or spiritualised, in the concluding
quatrain, after the manner of the traditional interpretation of
Solomon's Song of Songs ; or as in the Gesta Romanorum of
the thirteenth century some romantic "narration" about some
purely fictitious Emperor and his spouse, receives, as a matter
of course, its "application" to the mystical union betwixt Christ
and the human soul, or to the Church at large. So, in the
scroll at Salisbury, we find first the text of the ballad, and
then the religious interpretation, which turns it into a parable
with a heavenly meaning. "Besse" is interpreted as standing
for human nature, "mankynde" (not "man blynde" as printed
on p. 285), beloved by the Redeemer, who calls upon every
man to beware of falling again into the mortal sleep of sin,
and invites us to come to Himself, past the world lying in
darkness, which is compared to a bourn, burn, or brook, as in
many allegories. The spiritual application should be printed
thus : —

The born is ye worllde blinde ;

and besse is mankynde,

whom Christe hathe boughte soo free :

in sine hathe line slayne.

* * #

(Two lines appear to be wanting, and perhaps the
versifyer failed ever to compose them to his satisfaction ; but
he may have intended some such sense as,
Yet awaked to life again
may to sweetest Jhesu flee.)

The only difficult line is the last of the fragment. I
venture to interpret ''in sine hathe line slayne" as equivalent
to "who in sinne hathe lien slayne." I believe this suppression
of the relative pronoun was not uncommon about 1600. Ben
Jonson, though a grammarian, wrote thus in \h& Alchemist , i, 2.
"/>. — What do you think of me ? That I am a chiaus ?
Face.— What's that ?
D. — The Turk was here." (i.e. who was here).

CHR. WORDSWORTH.

Corriatt and St. Bar be. 379

Corriatt and St. Barbe (vol. v, p. 231).— Berry's Pedigree
of St. Barbe in his Plants Genealogies, p. 4, which is, no doubt,
the one referred to by Sir R. C. Hoare in his Frustfield, as being
in the College of Arms, gives Eleanor as the daughter of
Thomas St. Barbe, whose marriage is not given, and therefore
her mother was not known to the compiler. He was the son
of Richard St. Barbe and Margery Grey. Eleanor is stated
to have married, first, Hugh Powel, sheriff of Brecknock (there
was a Hugh Powel, of Talyllyn, sheriff in 1581), and secondly,
Thomas Sadler, of Salisbury, esquire of the body to James I.
She died 1623, and is buried in the Cathedral of Sarum, where
is her effigy. There is no issue given from either marriage.
She seems to have had four sisters, a brother George, whose
marriage is not given, and her eldest brother, also named
Thomas, of The Close, Salisbury; his marriage is also left
blank, but he had issue, apparently, only one daughter, Eliza-
beth. Now Dr. Marshall's Wilts Visitation, 1623, says she
was the daughter of John Coriatt ; might she not really be
instead a granddaughter ? i.e., that Eleanor's father married
possibly an Eleanor Corriatt, and so the confusion arose ;
therefore this might well be a clue to her father's wife. If
Thomas St. Barbe's will could be found, and he mentions his
wife or gives some clue to her identity, this would be a great
assistance towards a proof, but it must not be confounded
with Thomas, her brother. So at present I see no reason to
question the correctness of the heraldry in the Cathedral,
since it follows its natural course, and we must wait until
proof comes, whether Eleanor is daughter or granddaughter
of John Coriatt, to alter it.

In Berry's Genealogies, both the pedigrees of Henry and
William, who were brothers of Eleanor's father, are carried
on, so that the former's would make Eleanor cousin to Ursula,
his daughter, by Eleanor Lewknor, which Ursula married
2ndly, Sir Francis Walsingham.

No armory that I possess gives Corriatt any coat of

ANNALS OF THE PARISH OF NORTH WRAXHALL, WILTS.
Pp. 168, small 410. Bath, 1906.

A valuable record of the genealogical history and
statistics of a Wiltshire parish ; including an alphabetical list
of baptisms, marriages, and burials, for the last three centuries,
compiled from the Parish Registers ; details of population and
census from 1871 ; list of Charitable benefactions ; and history
of the School until 1905, when it was handed over to the
County Council.

1 The whole of the estates devolved on his eldest sister Catherine,
who married William Wellesley Pole, coming afterwards to her son, the
5th Lord Mornington, who left them to his paternal cousin, the 1st Lord
Cowley. W. N. 4- Q., iii, 565-6.

382 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

The bulk of the volume consists of a complete transcript of
the Parish Registers, including also additional matter from the
Salisbury transcripts — the latter printed in italics. This
extends to some 120 pages, and the amount of labour bestowed
on its entire arrangement in alphabetical order can only be
fully known to those persons who happen to have been
engaged on a similar task.

The estate here, which, with the advowson, had formerly
belonged to the Blounts of Bitton and Mangotsfield, was pur-
chased, in 1530, by William Button, of Alton Priors, whose
descendant Sir William Button, according to Aubrey, "built
165-* a vault in the N. Aisle, where he, and his sonne Sir
Wm., and his Lady, lye buried." Neither of these burials
occur in the Parish Register, but the coffin plates of the two
latter, lying in the vault, are thus noted :—

Sir William Button, Bart., died March 8. 1659-60.
Dame Ann Button,2 died February 4. 1664-5

Later owners of the manor and property here whose remains
lie buried in the vault are Ezekiel Wallis, buried January 1 2,
1735> from Lucknam, and his widow Cecilia, daughter of Isaac
Selfe, of Beanacre (afterwards married to John Coxhead,
LL.D., Warden of Winchester, and New College, Oxford),3
buried February 2, 1759. This lady was aunt to Paul
Methuen, the purchaser of Corsham, who, on succeeding to
the property, also used the Button vault as a family burial
place, eight of its members having been interred here from
1774 to 1849.

Passing from the principal owners here to the names of
parishioners generally, we may note first of all the name of
Hilarius Schneider, "a Dutchman," who, with his descendants,
appear in the register from 1764 to 1867 (see Pedigree). It

1 He died 28 January, 1654.

2 Daughter of Sir Henry Rolle, Knt., of Steventon, co. Devon.

would be interesting to trace further back his ancestors, who
were probably employed in the clothing trade in this
neighbourhood.

The most abundant name in the Registers appears to be
that of Billett, the entries relating to which occupy fully six
pages. Holborow, a family still represented in the parish,
goes back some two centuries. William Holborow, born in
the neighbouring parish of Luckington, 1605, migrated to
Kingscote, co. Gloucester, and was ancestor of several
generations of clothiers at Uley and King's Stanley, who in
1787 had a grant of arms, viz. : — Azure, a bend ermine between
six mullets pierced argent.1

Of Frankcom, already noticed in a former volume of the
present series [iv, pp. 29-34] as a North Wilts family, there are
entries from about 1840.

Nicholas Hall, whose children were baptized about 1660-
70 — his wife Amy buried 1697, and himself in 1719 — was
apparently the individual of whom Aubrey says, "The im-
provement by Sainfoin was brought into this parish [North
Wraxhall] with good returns, about the year 1650, by Nicholas
Hall, of Dundry, co. Somerset." As an advanced agriculturist
of the Stuart period, his name deserves a record. Some
entries of Jaques occur between 1677 and 1817. Three
marriages may be noted in conclusion— Mr. Christopher Webb
and Mrs. Lucy Norborne, in 1621 ; Estcourt Cresswell, of
Slaughterford, and Sarah Gibbs, in 1814, both representing
members of Wiltshire families; and lastly Mr. Jonathan
Knackstone and Mrs. Sarah Clements, " both of Ogbourne St.
George," in 1713. Who, it may be asked, with the contents
of this volume unprinted, would have thought of searching
the register of North Wraxhall for the latter marriage ?

1 From these descend the Keble family, of whom the Rev. John Keble,
author of The Christian Year, Vicar of Hursley, co. Hants, was a
member.

JUDGE NICHOLAS.

-f

dmiral Collier, fourth son of Admiral Sir George

Collier (a famous seaman, and sometime M.P. for

'J^ Honiton), deposited in the British Museum a large
collection of Nicholas documents, which he had
probably acquired by marrying Harriet, a daughter
of Robert Nicholas, of Ashton Keynes ; she died in 1850, her
husband in 1870.

We propose in some future numbers to print these, abound-
ing, as they do, in interest, especially to those who live, or
are concerned, in the neighbourhood of Devizes, this family
belonging to Cannings and Roundway.

In Vol. I of W. N. & Q. will be found the Will, with a short
note, of Robert Nicholas, Chief Baron of the Exchequer under
Cromwell, and in Vol. Ill Mr. Kite writes a short but inter-
esting account of this able lawyer, and undoubtedly a Crom-
wellian of strong convictions and somewhat violent behaviour;
correcting some of the mistakes which had occurred in various
books, and which afterwards found their way into that monu-

esting ; surely they are among those whom John Willet, if he
had occasion to tackle them, would accuse of being wanting in
imagination. A great master-interpreter of the human heart,
who, none would allow to be dull and uninteresting, has
written, "in all those dusty registers that the worms are
eating, there is not a line but made some hearts leap, or some
tears flow, in their day. Still and dry now, still and dry."
How often is Comedy, how often is Tragedy contained within
those covers ! What self-sacrifice and patience, what forgive-
ness at the last moment ; what scenes of affectionate atten-
dance, of grief, of love, of envy and jealousy, malice and
avarice, perhaps often of callousness and indifference, are
brought to our minds by the reading of Wills; we often, too,
gain a knowledge of the manners and customs of the time ;
and in the pious preambles we perceive the gradual changes in
the expression of faith ; we note the various pieces of furniture
in use, the necessary domestic utensils in a household of the
period, pictures, ornaments and jewellery; and by a succession
of such documents we are enabled to trace with some accuracy
the history of a family.

The Inventory which follows — it, together with the Marriage
Settlement, has been copied by Miss E. M. Thompson from
the MSS. in the British Museum — will perhaps afford a picture
of how the interior of a not important house looked like two
hundred and fifty years ago, and what sort of life was led in it
by an able, active man, doomed now by circumstances to an
unwilling inactivity,

"Remote, unfriendly, melancholy, slow."

It is probable that after the happy Restoration of the
King, Robert Nicholas, who had been busy, not only in national
affairs, but also had taken a prominent part in those of Devizes
during Cromwell's usurpation of the King's authority, thought
it wiser and safer to lie low and seek the seclusion of a small
village; his house — which it was we know not, there is a sort
of tradition that a larger one in that part was pulled down
many years ago — was situated in Seend Rew, a retired spot

on the north-west side of the village, below the hill behind the
Trowbridge road. It will be noted how greatly the value of
the books and MSS. (perhaps the now lost Adversaria were
amongst them) is out of all proportion to his other effects.

BURIALS NEAR THE GALLOWS DITCH.

The following entries of burial occur in Bishop's Cannings
Register under the date of 1678-1681 : —

Marie Withers, widow, buried neer the gallow's ditch

within this parish, 19 Feb. 1678-9.
Alice Moor, widow, buried near the gallow's ditch 23 Dec.

1679.
, wife of Ralph Withers, buried near the gallow's

ditch, 28 Sept. 1680.
Hannah, daughter of Edward Gilbert, of the Devizes,

buried near gallow's ditch in this parish, 8 Dec. 1680.

Wiltshire Wills.

407

Hannah, wife of John Neate, buried near gallow's ditch,
17 Aug. 1 68 1.

1 of , buried near the gallow's ditch, 22 Sept.

1681.

These are apparently interments of Quakers. Other
Devizes entries occur in the Quaker Records, now in course
of publication in IV. N. &> O., as early as 1670 ; but the actual
place of burial is not mentioned. The Bishop's Cannings
Register therefore records a fact, not, I believe, generally
known, that the present Quaker Burial ground at Hillworth,
near Gallow's Ditch, dates back as a place of interment cer-
tainly to the time of the Restoration, if not earlier.

GRANT OF ARMS TO JOHN SKUTT, 1546.

Amongst the papers left behind by the present Editor's
predecessor in office, was the following by the late Mr.
Nightingale, of Wilton, the Grant being then in his posses-
sion. There is a Pedigree of Skutt in Marshall's printed
Visitation of Wilts, 1623, deriving the family from Thomas

422 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Skutt, who was at Boulogne with Henry VIII, and finishing
with Joane, dau. of Edward Skutt and his wife Christian
(Stokes), both of Warminster, who married Ralph, 2nd son of
Henry Hastings, of Woodlands, co. Dorset, nephew of the 3rd
Earl of Huntingdon; in Weaver's Visitation of Somerset there is
no pedigree, the name being only mentioned in that of Cooper.

The MS. is engrossed on vellum, measuring 19^ in. by i2|in.
It has an illuminated border, with the Tudor rose within the
garter, crowned ; also fleurs-de-lys and floriated scrolls of
colours and gold in the style of the medieval illuminations,
but showing a visible decadence in the art. The arms and
crest are given in large size, and proper tinctures at the side.
Within the medieval capital letter "]" at the commencement is
a full length portrait of Barker as king of arms, wearing a
crown, also a tabard bearing the arms of France and England
quarterly. In his right hand he holds a staff pointing to the
coat of arms, and with his left hand, raised, points to the grant.
A similar figure of Barker is engraved in Dallaway's Enquiry
into the Origin and Progress of Heraldry. It appears, from
Anstis' College of Heraldry, that grants ol arms were made
about this time — for a consideration — by an order of Charles
Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, Earl Marshal, "to temporall men,
which be of good and honest reputation, able to mayntayne
the state of gentleman." Grants to Bishops and Abbots were
at a higher rate, but to "every temporall man having one
hundred marks by the yeare in land or fees, £6 135. ^d. ;
others, being of substance under the same valour in land or
goods, £6— of them that be worth in land and goods a
thousand marks, ,£5."

Not much seems to be known of the family of Skutt. The
following inscription is found at Stanton Drew: "Here lyeth
the body of Anthony Skutt, Esqr., ob. yth January 1587."
Martha, daughter and co-heir of Anthony Skutt of Stanton
Drew, married Sir John Cooper of Rock borne, Hants. He
died in 1610. Through this marriage their grandson, Anthony

Grant of Arms to John Skull, 1546. 423

Ashley Cooper, first Earl of Shaftesbury, and his descendants
quarter the Skutt arms. There was a family of Skutt settled
at VVarminster, Wilts. Joane, a daughter of Edward Skutt, of
this place, married, about 1620, a son of the noted Henry
Hastings of Woodlands, co. Dorset. There seems also to
have been a colony of this family at Poole, co. Dorset. No
less than sixteen Mayors of this name filled the office between
1621 and 1743.

The document is signed by Barker as "C.B. als. gartier."
The labels remain, but his two seals have disappeared. It is
copied verbatim, in the quaint phraseology of the day.

To all true christen people these present letters hereing or Seinge
Xpofer Barker esquier als. Garter principall king of armes of Englesshe-
inen Sende the due and humble recommendacion and gretenge. Equite

JOHN OF SALISBURY.

This famous Wiltshireman, reputed to be the most
learned man of his age, and "the central figure of classical
learning for thirty years", was born at, or near, Old Sarum,
between 1115-20; his father's name being Rainfred [?] ; has
his birthplace ever been identified ? His surname was per-
haps "Parvus", for he describes himself Parvuni nomine,
facilitate minorem, minimum menti. He studied at Paris
under the famous Abelard, and Robert of Melun (afterwards
Bishop of Hereford), proceeding at length to Chartres for his
grammatical studies ; attended the Council of Rheims, when
he was presented to Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury,
whose friend and adviser he continued to be until his death,
when he became the executor of his Will ;! at this period he
writes, "the charge of all Britain as touching Church matters
was laid on me" ; employed by Eugenius III in the Papal
Court, crossing the Alps to and from England as many as ten
times ; on terms of affectionate intimacy with the English
Pope, Adrian IV, and it is said that it was through his influ-
ence that the Pope granted the Bull to the King for the con-
quest of Ireland — whose genuineness has been disputed ; one

of the five who brought the Pallium from Rome to Thomas
Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury ; the life-long friend and
chaplain of this prelate, constantly urging upon him more
prudential methods in his dealings with the King, he shared
in his disgrace with Henry II; although described by this
monarch "Canonicus Sarum", we do not find his name in
Jones' Fasti Sarisberienses.

In 1164, he left England for Paris with his brother
Richard, heavily in debt, not possessing twelve pence, bor-
rowing twelve marks, and accepting seven more from the
Archbishop before starting ; he tried frequently to conciliate
the King and Thomas, refusing every offer of advancement
made by the King should he desert his master. He was
present when the Archbishop was murdered, and is believed
to have been pretioso sanguine beati martyris Thomce intinctus.

In 1170 he comes to England to visit his aged mother ;
in 1174 appointed Treasurer of Exeter Cathedral, and two
years afterwards Bishop of Chartres,1 where he died 25 Oct.
1 1 80, and was buried at Josephat, near his city, leaving all he
had, including his books and some relics of his beloved St.
Thomas, to his Cathedral ; he has a worthy record in the
necrology of Chartres, Vir magnce religionis totiusque scientice
radiis illustratus, ve.rbo, vita, moribus, pastor omnibus amabilis,
soli sibi crudelis, a pedibus usque ad collum cilisio semper
carnem domante.

The following works by this illustrious and indefatigable
prelate are still extant :-^

Letters (326), in 4 volumes. Polycratus de Nugis Curialium et
Vestigiis Philosophorum, in 8 volumes. Metaloicus, in 4 books.
Entheticus, a poem of 1,800 lines. Historia Pontificalis. Life of
St. Anselm of Canterbury. Life of St. Thomas of Canterbury.

1 He loved to call himself Bishop divina dignatione et mentis Sancti
Thomce Martyris. It is said that whilst in the service of Archbishop
Richard, the Dean and other Clergy of Chartres came to Canterbury and
elected him their Bishop.

Trowbridge— Roundstone Street (vol. v, pp. 91-92, 192).
— Low Mead, or Roundstone Street, seems to have derived the
latter name from the Round stone which once stood near the
end of Polebarn Lane, and which Mr. Walker describes at
p. 192 as having been seen by him some 58 years ago buried
beneath the surface of the road at that spot. It was, I am
told, of some historical interest, being the stone on which the
inhabitants of Trowbridge, in earlier days, made their bargains
and paid down the ready money "on the nail", as on the more
elaborate counters in front of the Exchange at Bristol. In 1752
it appears to have still remained in situ, for at that date an Act
was passed for repairing the road from Tinhead Hill to the
Round Stone in Trowbridge — the end of Polebarn Lane being
evidently the spot thus indicated.1

1 The road from Seend, through Trowbridge, to Beckington, which met
at this point, came under the jurisdiction of a separate Act.

Tooker of Oriel. 429

The stone, having fallen into disuse, may have been
buried where it had formerly stood, about the year 1799, when
an Act was obtained " for paving the footways, for cleansing,
lighting, and regulating the streets, lanes, and other public
passages and places within the town, and for removing and
preventing nuisances, annoyances, and obstructions therein."
The preamble describes the footways as not being properly
paved, cleaned, and lighted, and subject to various encroach-
ments, obstructions, nuisances, and annoyances ; being in some
places very incommodious and unsafe for travellers and
passengers.

Three quarters of a mile from the centre of the front door
of the George Inn is the distance mentioned as coming within
the jurisdiction of the newly-appointed commissioners, some
50 in number, who, for defraying the expenses and executing
the purposes of the Act, were empowered to levy Sunday tolls
at the several turnpikes within that area.

Is not this the time when the fine old market cross
(similar to those of Salisbury and Malmesbury), which stood
near the George Inn, was — under cover of an obstruction —
also removed and destroyed ? EDWARD KITE.

Tooker of Oriel (vol. v, p. 381).— The reason perhaps
why Charles and Robert Tooker are not mentioned in Shad-

WILTON HOUSE, AND ITS LITERARY ASSOCIATIONS.

HE Mansion at Wilton — for several centuries the
seat of the Earls of Pembroke — is well known both
for its historical and literary associations, and its
rich treasures of art. Its history carries us back
in unbroken succession to the Anglo-Saxon period,
when a monastic establishment existed here, originating with
Earl Wulstan and King Egbert.

Of the early Houses of Nuns in Wiltshire and the adjoin-
ing counties, five at least — Wilton, Shaftesbury, St. Mary's
Winchester, Romsey, and Amesbury (all possessing Wiltshire
property), owed their foundation or endowment, either wholly
or in part, to the Anglo-Saxon kings. Wilton, the earliest of
these,1 dating from the beginning of the ninth century, became
the home and last resting-place of St. Edith (daughter of King
Edgar and Wulftrude), one of the most interesting of the
princess-nuns of the Anglo-Saxon race, who died in 984, and in
whose honour the monastic church was afterwards dedicated.
The early foundation, liberally endowed by several later
Saxon monarchs — of whom King Edwy was the principal
benefactor — and presided over by many royal ladies of this
period, continued to flourish during the Middle Ages as one of

1 Of the others, Shaftesbury was founded by King Alfred ; to whom,
with his queen Ethelswitha, is also ascribed the foundation of St. Mary's,
Winchester; llomsey by Edward the Elder; and A mesbury by Ethelfrida
the queen of King Edgar.

the greater monasteries of the Benedictine Order, the Lady
Abbess, by virtue of her office, ranking as a baroness of
England, and as such doing military service by her knights in
time of war.

At the general dissolution, in 1539, Wilton, in the hands
of the Crown, was granted by Henry VIII to Sir William
Herbert, whose wife Ann, daughter of Thomas, Lord Parr of
Kendal, was sister to Catherine Parr, Henry's sixth and last
queen.1 From Sir William Herbert (created Earl of Pembroke
in 1551) the Wilton estate has descended with the Earldom to
the present day.

Wilton House, built most probably on the site of the
earlier monastery, dates from the days of the first Earl [1541-
1570], Aubrey says, "In Edward the Sixth's time the great
house of the Earl of Pembroke was built with the ruins of Old
Sarum"— but the monastic buildings then recently destroyed,
and close at hand, doubtless also supplied much of the
material. The plan of the house was a quadrangle, inside
which stood an entrance porch, said to have been designed by
Holbein. Some alterations were afterwards made by Solomon
de Caus.2 The present south front, rebuilt after a fire in
1647, is one of the masterpieces designed by Inigo Jones, and
carried out by his pupil and son-in-law John Webb3 — the
double cube room of this period — a magnificent apartment-
being apparently intended for the reception of the fine series
of the works of Vandyke, of which the large and unique
picture of the Herbert family of his day is the gem.4 The

4 In an article on Ramsbury Manor (Country Life, 10 August 1907) the
writer sa,ys, "tradition goes that the great family portraits at Wilton, by
Vandyke, were intended for Ramsbury Manor"— both properties at that
time belonging to the Earl of Pembroke.

wings of the east front, which still retains much of its original
outline, were at this time made somewhat to harmonise with
the new work, but the central block remained intact until a
century ago, when James Wyatt, in erecting a cloister for the
reception of the Pembroke marbles, attempted to invest the
building with a Gothic character. More recent alterations
have, however, done much to remedy this unfortunate
mistake.

The interior is rich in well known and admired treasures
of art. The muniment room contains documents dating from
the twelfth century, some belonging to the earlier monastery —
the paintings, besides the Vandykes already noticed, include
a fine series by many of the great masters of the Italian and
Dutch schools ; also the celebrated dypticon of Richard II,
apparently painted soon after his accession in I3771 — the fine
suits of armour in the entrance hall, taken at the battle of St.
Quentin in 1557 — and the marbles collected by Thomas, eighth
Earl [1683-1733], which include Cardinal Richelieu's, Cardinal
Mazarin's, and some of the finest examples from the
Arundelian collection.

The garden and waterworks as originally designed by
Isaac, son or nephew of Solomon de Caus, noticed above, is
known in this state by the twenty-six copper plates which
illustrate his "Hortus Penbrochianus" , published about i64o.2

at Wilton. They were probably some of the first introduced
into England.

But the great interest of Wilton lies in its family and
literary associations, in the reminiscences it evokes of the
author of the Arcadia, and its principal personage, "Sidney's
sister, Pembroke's mother". Its successive owners have also
been men of note, and distinguished equally in arms, arts,
and literature. They were the patrons of the writers and
dramatists, as well as the painters of their time. "By such
a place as Wilton it is impossible to say what great memories
may not be stirred. It appeals to us as the home of one of
our noblest families — as the place where the greatest lights of
learning and literature have been welcomed — as the treasure
house of many artists — and as the centre of one of the most
beautiful gardens in the land."1

With the literature of Wilton in the days of Elizabeth,
and her successors, the two first Stuart Kings, we usually find
associated the names of Sir Philip Sidney and his friend the
poet Spenser, Massinger the dramatist, Ben Jonson, Shake-
speare, and a few others — but this seems scarcely to represent
the many literary characters of that day who, although per-
haps of less note, are known to have been equally indebted to
the Pembroke family for their patronage and hospitality. In
the following notes an attempt has been made further to illus-
trate the early literature of Wilton and the Pembroke family,
to which any addition will be gladly welcomed.

Sir William Herbert, the first Earl, closely allied to
Henry VIII, took an active part in the changing events of
this and the three succeeding reigns. We find him a prin-
cipal mourner both at Henry's funeral in 1547, and that of
Edward VI in 1553. By the latter he was visited at Wilton
in the previous year. He also took part in the proclamation
of Queen Mary at Cheapside, and her marriage at Winchester,
as well as in the proceedings on the accession of Queen
Elizabeth. The design of his mansion at Wilton has been
ascribed to Holbein, but perhaps on insufficient authority, for
it must be remembered that Holbein's death took place in
1543 — two years only after Sir William Herbert had become
possessed of Wilton Monastery and its site.

To his widowed Countess, six years after his death, is
dedicated an exceeding rare little volume printed in black
letter, entitled :—

" The Mirror of Man's Lyfe ; plainley describing what weake
moulde we are made of, what miseries we are subject unto, how
uncertaine this life is, and what shall be our ende." Englished
by H. Kirton. Imprinted at London, by Henry Bynneman, 7576.

[Engraving on title, within a square border, on which is
printed, "O wormes meat, O froath, O vanitie ; why art thou so
insolent?" The last two pages contain a Poem in English, en-
titled Speculum Humanum, made by Stephen Gosson.]

Henry, second Earl of Pembroke, succeeded on the death
of his father, 1570; died 1601. He entertained Queen Eliza-
beth at Wilton in 1573. Aubrey describes him as "the
patron to the men of arms, and to the antiquaries and heralds ;
he took a great delight in the study of heraldry, as appeares
by that curious collection of heraldique manuscripts in the
library here. It was this earle that did set up all the painted
glasse scutchions about the house". Many of the latter, in a
more or less perfect state, are now preserved in the heads of
the windows of Wyatt's cloister. The canopied niches on
either side of the east entrance, containing thermes, added at
this date, are also surmounted by shields of arms.

To this Earl, Abraham Fraunce dedicated a book entitled

43& Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

The Lawyer's Logick, published in 1588. Through Lord
Pembroke's interest its author obtained from William Cecil,
Lord Burghley, the office of Queen's solicitor in the Court of
the Marches.

In 1594 was published a first edition of Marlowe's Histori-
cal Drama of Edward II, known only from a unique copy dis-
covered in 1876 in the Landerbibliothek at Cassel. This was
followed, four years later, by a second edition, also of great
rarity, entitled:—

"The troublesome raigne and lamentable death of Edward
the second, king of England : with the tragicall fall of proud
Mortimer : And also the life and death of Peirs Gaueston, the
great Earle of Cornewall, and mighty favorite of king Edward the
second, as it was publiquely acted by the right honorable the Earle
of Pembrooke his servantes. Written by Chri. Marlow, gent."
Imprinted at London by Richard Bradocke for William Jones,
dwelling neere Holbourne conduit, at the signe of the Gunne, i^gS.

[This is the best constructed of Marlowe's pieces.]
But the literary charm of Wilton culminated with the
third marriage of Henry, second earl, with Mary, daughter of
Sir Henry, and sister of Sir Philip Sidney. She was born,
probably about 1555, at Penshurst, co. Kent, where is her
portrait by Marc Gheersedts, engraved in Lodge's Portraits.
Her marriage appears to have taken place about April 1577—
and to her the well known Arcadia of her brother Sir Philip
(written at WTilton, or, according to Aubrey, at Ivychurch,
between this date and the time of his death, 1586) is
addressed. The original quarto edition bears date 1590; in
1638 it had reached a ninth, and in 1674 a thirteenth edition.1

Many of the pastoral descriptions of scenery were prob-
ably taken from Wilton Park. Aubrey says :—

"The Arcadia and Daphne is about Vernditch and Wilton^
and these romancy plaines and boscages did, no doubt, conduce
to the heightening of Sir Philip Sidney's phansie. He lived much

' A French edition was published in Paris as early as 1(524, in three
small octavo volumes; and a photographic facsimile of the original quarto
edition of 1590, reproduced from the copy in the Grenville Collection,

was issued in 1891, the impression being limited to 300 copies.

in these parts, and his most masterly touches of his pastoralls he
wrote here upon the spott where they were conceived."

At Wilton House Edmund Spenser, England's Arch-
poet, was among the honoured guests. To his friend "the
noble and vertuous gentleman most worthy of all tytles, both
of learning and chivalrie, Maister Philip Sidney", he dedi-
cated The Shepheard's Calender, the first and now the rarest of
all his writings. This was issued in 1579. In his Colin
Clouts Come Home Againe (1595), is the beautiful Astrophel,
"a Pastoral Elegie upon the death of the most noble and
valorous knight Sir Philip Sidney", who had died some nine
years previously. The first edition of the same author's
Complaints, "containing sundrie small poemes of the world's
vanitie" (1591), includes The Ruines of Time, dedicated to "the
right noble and beautiful Ladie, the La. Marie, Countesse of
Pembroke". In the second issue of Spenser's immortal poem,
The Faerie Queene (1596), the sonnets to the Poet's patrons
also include one to the Countess of Pembroke.

Francis Davison's The Rhapsody, published as early as
1602, contains poems by Sir Philip Sidney and his sister, and
we also find The Psalmes of David, translated into divers and
sundry kinds of verse, begun by Sir Philip Sidney, and
finished by the Countess of Pembroke, of which an edition of
two hundred and fifty copies was printed as lately as 1823.

In 1579 Geoffrey Fenton published a small quarto volume,
printed in black letter, which he dedicated to Lady Mary
Sidney, entitled : —

"Certain Tragical Discourses written out of Frenche and
Latin, no lesse profitable then pleasaunte, and of like necessitye
to all degrees that take pleasure in antiquityes or forreine
reportes." Imprinted at London in Fleet streat nere to Sayncte
Dunstaris Churche by Thomas Mar she 1579.

In this collection of stories and tales, drawn from French
and Italian authors, we have one of the mines from which our
old English dramatists gathered their plots and incidents.
Warton, in his History of English Poetry, describes it as the
most capital miscellany of this kind.

44° Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Fenton also dedicated to Lady Mary Sidney, from Paris,
a collection of novels by Bandello, translated from French
versions of Boaistuau and Belleforest, in 1567.

A little later we find Abraham Fraunce, of whom there is
a long account in the Dictionary of National Biography,
dedicating nearly all his works to the Countess of Pembroke.
After her brother, Sir Philip Sidney, had interested himself in
Fraunce's education, she appears to have taken him under her
protection. One of his books, entitled The Countess oj
Pembroke's Ivychurch, was published in 1591, and a third part
in the following year— the latter resembling in plan Sidney's
Arcadia. Another, The Countess of Pembroke's Emanuel
(1591), in English hexameters, is reprinted by Dr. Grosart, in
his Fuller's Worthies Miscellanies, vol. iii (1872). To the
Earl of Pembroke, who also treated him with unvarying
kindness, he was indebted for an office under Lord Burghley,
as already mentioned.

By Mary [Sidney], Countess of Pembroke, Samuel
Daniel was also first encouraged and " framed to Rhime".
He was a native of Taunton, lived with her son William,
third Earl, at Wilton House, was one of the Grooms of the
Queen's Majesties Privy Chamber, and in his latter days took
a farm called Ridge,1 near Beckington, Somerset, where he
died. In his Sonnets, published 1592, we find the prototype
of Shakespeare's amatory verse. The first fowre Bookes of
the Ciuile warres betweene the two houses of Lancaster and Yorke
appeared in 1595, and a later edition, corrected and continued,
in 1609. The dedication of this latter volume to the Countess
of Pembroke is included by Mr. Huth in his privately printed
volume of prefaces. The most complete edition of his poems
was published in 1623, after his death, by his brother, John
Daniel.

In 1593 Thomas Morley dedicated a musical volume to
the Countess of Pembroke, thus entitled : —

1 Fuller says " he rented a farm near Devizes".

Wilton House, and its Literary Associations. 44 1

"Canzonets, or little short songs to three voyces : newly pub-
lished by Thomas Morley, Bachiler of Musicke, and one of the
Gent, of his Maiesties Royall Chappel, 1 593." Imprinted at London
by Tho. Est, the assigne of William Byrd, dwelling in Aldersgate
street, at the signe of the black Horse.

Morley appears to have been the organist of Old St.
Paul's Cathedral in 1591.

In 1595 was published "The Tragedie of Antonie. Doone into
English by the Countess of Pembroke." Imprinted at London for
William Ponsonby, 1595.

Henry, second Earl of Pembroke, died early in the year
1 60 1, on which occasion Nicholas Breton dedicated to the
Countess a small quarto volume, entitled :—

"A Diuine Poeme, diuided into two Partes: The Rauisht
Soule, and The Blessed Weeper. Compiled by Nicholas Breton,
Gentle-man." Imprinted at London for lohn Browne, and lohn
Deane, 1602.

The Ravisht Soule is written in the elegiac quatrain, and
The Blessed Weeper in stanzas of seven lines. Some copies of
the work are dated 1 60 1 . The Countess of Pembroke's Passion,
in verse, also by Nicholas Breton, was first privately printed
in 1853. Lady Mary [Sidney] survived the second Earl
twenty years, and dying at her house in Aldersgate Street,
London, in the autumn of 1621, was buried with him in
Salisbury Cathedral. Her well-known epitaph :

"Underneath this marble herse

Lies the subject of all verse,

Sidney's sister, Pembroke's mother.

Death, ere thou hast slain another,

Wise, and fair, and good as she,

Time shall throw a dart at thee."

has been attributed both to Ben Jonson, and William Brown,
the pastoral poet, the latter of whom was long an inmate at
Wilton House.

A sermon by Walter Sweeper, "minister of Strowd",
upon Proverbs xii, 16, entitled: —

"A Briefe Treatise declaring the Trve Noble-man, and the
Base Worldling." Printed in London, by William Jones, dwelling
in Red Cross Street, 1623.

may be referred to here, as it brings under our notice some
part of the Wilton household at the end of the sixteenth
century. The sermon is dedicated jointly to William, third
Earl, and his brother Philip, the two sons of Lady Mary
Sidney, its author remarking that it was his intention to have
presented "the first fruits of his labours in this kind to their
honourable Ladie-mother, now at rest with God".

"I gained, he says, the greatest part of my little learning
through my acquaintance with your honourable father's house and
family . . . And your famous Wilton House, like a little Vniuer-
sitie, was a more excellent nurcerie for learning and pietie, then

William's best animal, because it was granted to him by
agreement for a sum paid down. On this Robert Edwards

leyne, clerk, Prebendary of Prebend of Erchefounte, in parish
of Vrchefounte, co. Wilts, by his indenture of lease dated
31 October, 31 Henry VIII, with consent of Edward Earl of
Hertford and Viscount Beauchamp, Patron of the Prebend,
and of John, Bishop of Salisbury, Ordinary of the Diocese of
the Dean and Chapter of Sarum, let to farm to William
Noyes, father of Robert Noyes, his Prebend of Erchefounte,
otherwise Vrchefounte, together with all glebe lands, tythes,
meadows, oblations, offerings, &c., appurtenances of said
Prebend, to hold to said William Noyes and his assignes
from the preceding Michaelmas for 60 years next following,
paying to William Chamberleyn and his successors ^£14
at Easter and Michaelmas, with proviso for re-entry on the
premisses upon arrears of rent for more than six weeks after
the said two terms, which indenture the Bishop of Salisbury,
5 January, 33 Henry VIII, confirmed under his Chapter Seal ;
the Dean and Chapter of Sarum confirming it by their deed
on yth January in same year. By force whereof, William
Noyes, being possessed of the premisses for about 34 years
last past, in his last will bequeathed to said Robert Noyes all
his lease of the premisses yet unexpired, making him and his
brother, William Noyes, executors of his will, and after his
death his said son Robert entered into the Prebend and
premisses. And about the first year of his reign, Robert
Noyes knows not certainly how, the Prebend came to the late
King Edward VI, his heirs and successors, and the King,
being thus seized of the reversion thereof and the foresaid
yearly rent, with divers other parsonages, lands, &c., to
yearly value of .£530, for maintenance of 13 poor knights in
Windsor Castle, conveyed said Prebend to the Dean and
Canons of Windsor, by virtue whereof the Dean and Canons
for 40 years and upwards have been quietly seized thereof,
during which time Robert Noyes has always paid to them the
said rent ; yet now Gryfifith Vaughan of Asherled, co. Surrey,
clerk, being presented by the present Queen to said Prebend,
and pretending that the said conveyance made to King

Edward VI is void, and hath demanded the said rent, and
commanded it no longer to be paid to the said Dean and
Canons, threatening him if he continued to do so to expell
him from the Prebend ; by reason whereof Robert Noyes for
the preservation of his estate in the premisses is likely to
have to pay two several rents ; wherefore he prays for a writ
of sub pcena against William Daye, D.D., Dean of Windsor,1
and the said Gryffyth Vaughan to answer the premisses.
Answer of Gryffyth Vaughan, Clerk.

He admits the truth of the first part of the bill of
complaint as to the lease to William Noyes, and bases his
claim to the yearly rent of ^14 for the prebend, because no
prebendary being appointed for many years after the death of
William Chamberleyn, by reason of lapse, the Prebend of
Erchefont coming to the Queen's hands, her majesty by letters
patents dated 4 October in the 35th year of her reign, presented
him, G. Vaughan, to the prebend, wherefore he is lawful Pre-
bendary of Erchefount, and should have the rent, without the
Prebend to her knowledge being conveyed to Edward VI, or
by that King to the Dean and Canons of Windsor.
Answer of Dr. William Daye.

He admits the indenture of lease made to William Noyes,
but declares it void because Lord Hertford was not then
Patron of the Prebend, but Henry VIII, to whom it had come
on the dissolution of the Abbey of St. Mary's, Winchester,
and from whom it descended to King Edward VI, who granted
it to the Dean and Canons of the King's Free Chappel of St.
George the Martyr in Windsor Castle, by virtue of which
they are the rightful owners of the prebend.

ton at the time that Dr. Eyre, his remote kinsman,

BURIAL.

Christopher Dugdale, Rector of this p'ishe of Codford, was buried

TOM KING'S COFFEE-HOUSE.

Fielding, in one of his prologues, says : " What rake is
ignorant of King's Coffee-house"? It was a rude shed
beneath the portico of St. Paul's Church, in Covent Garden,
and can be seen in the background of Hogarth's print of
"Morning". Harwood's Alumni Etonienses, in the account of
the boys elected from Eton to King's College, has this entry :
"1713, Thomas King, born at West Ashton, in Wiltshire,
went away scholar in apprehension that his fellowship would
be denied him ; and afterwards kept that coffee-house in
Covent Garden, which was called by his own name." Moll
King [? his wife] was landlady after Tom's death, and the
house (a most disorderly one) was much frequented, though
only a shed, <( by noblemen and the first beaux". She removed
afterwards from business — and the pillory — to Hampstead,
where she lived a respectable life, renting a pew, and sub-
scribing to the local charities. Captain Laroon, an amateur
painter of the time, made a large and spirited drawing of its
interior, which was at Strawberry Hill. (Timbs' History of
Clubs, etc.) Is anything known of Tom King's family and its
connexion with Ashton ?

474 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Henry Dugdale (vol. i, p. 174).— In the Visitation of
London, 1633-5, he is described as of Codford, and the eldest
brother of Christopher, of Seend and Poulshot. Many years
ago the late Canon Jackson wrote me that he remembered
coming across him, as a steward or manager of some of the
Duke of Somerset's estate at Orcheston, but could not give
me the reference. I would be much obliged if any of our
readers could give me any information concerning him; his
nephew, Christopher, was Rector of Codford. ED.

Stephen Dugdale (1650 [?]-1683). —To what family did
he belong ? Bailiff to Lord Aston of Pixall, co. Stafford, he
apostatised and was bribed to accuse his master of complicity
in the Titus Gates' plot, also informing against priests, as well
as many of his former co-religionists ; this unhappy man,
Macaulay says, "died driven mad by the furies of an evil con-
science, and with loud shrieks called on those who stood near
to take away Lord Stafford." He is described as "Gent." in
his Informations, given before the Bar of the House of
Commons, printed in 1680. I am acquainted with the account
of him in Foley's Jesuits. ED.

Wiltshiremen in a Masque at Richmond, 1636.— A

very rare pamphlet of thirty-one pages, entitled :

" The King and Qveenes Entertainment at Richmond. After
their Departure from Oxford: In a Masque presented by the
most Illustrious Prince, Prince Charles, Sept. 12, 1636. Oxford:
Printed by Leonard Lichfield, MDCXXXVI."

mentions (p.- 5) that "because most of the Interlocutors were
Wiltshiremen, that country Dialect was chosen."

Is anything known of these Wiltshire performers ; or do
their names occur in other entertainments of the same kind,
which appear to have been much in vogue at about this
date ? E. K.

minutes, 1712, in the Seend Churchwardens' Books. It has
been suggested that it was written (perhaps to try the pen)
by Ambrose Awdry, jun., whose hand it somewhat resembles,
one of the signers of these minutes. In the last chapter of
The Pirate, published in 1821, Jack Bunce says, "Ah, since an
alias has such
virtue, poor

might have
come off as
Timothy Tug-
mutton." I have been told that Walter Scott and Daniel
Webb, of Monkton Farley, were friends and frequently
stayed together in Edinburgh, the latter telling him many a
story which the author afterwards made use of. Perhaps
Webb, whose family was connected with Seend — his daughter,
through her mother, a Somner, bringing Seend and Seming-
ton lands to the Dukes of Somerset— told Scott of the entry,
or even showed it to him ! Is there any evidence of the

great novelist ever being in the neighbourhood ?

William Herbert, third Earl of Pembroke.— In a manu-
script account of the monuments in Salisbury Cathedral,
written in 1635, mention is made of "a rich and rare peece of
brasse" then in hand "to be set up in the Lady Chappel for
the E. of Pembroke, late Ld. Chamberlaine." This was
William, third Earl, who had died five years previously, in
1630, but no such memorial seems ever to have been erected
in the Cathedral. Was the "peece of brass", here referred to,
the statue in that metal, by Le Soeur, from which Vandyke is
said to have painted the Earl's portrait, and which, some
century later (1727), was presented to Oxford University, and
is it still preserved there ? E. K.

Gule of August (vol. v, pp. 236, 286). — The meaning of
the word "Gule of August" has been the subject of a lengthy
discussion in Notes and Queries, but besides the interest
attached to the word or term itself, is that of the time of year
when the "Gule of August" falls.

It is known ecclesiastically as Lammas Day. It was one
of the four quarters of the year on which the Druids of
Celtic Ireland celebrated their fire festivals, as recorded by
Cormac, Archbishop of Cashel, in the tenth century, and
there called Lugnassad, after Lug, the Celtic Fire hero ; and
it is still one of the old Scotch law quarter days. Celebrated
at a very early date in heathen Celtic countries, it was trans-
ferred in Christian times from the ist August to the first
Sunday in August, as a step towards weaning the people
from ancient heathen to Christian practices.

Within the memory of those now living in the Isle of
Man, it was there the custom to go to the tops of mountains
in the early morning of August ist to fetch water from sacred
wells. Fairs were held in Wales on August ist (Gwyl
Awst) ; shepherds kept vlp the practice of having a picnic on
that day on the hills in South Cardiganshire, and people
ascended the Brecon Beacons on the first Sunday after
August ist, till quite recent days. These practices all seem
to be relics of forgotten heathen rites. Professor Rhys, in his

Gule of August. 477

Hibbert Lectures, tells us that in the remote past a yearly
festival was held at Lugduna (the modern Lyons) on
August ist, in honour of the deified Augustus, which, he
says, probably simply superseded an older feast held on that
day in honour of the Sun God Lug (from whence its name),
and was the Gallo-Roman continuation of a Celtic custom.

The meaning of "Gule"="Gwylw as given by Vallancey
(MS. Nm o3 Q.t p. 286), has been shown by Professor Skeat to
be worthless. He says that the Welsh word "Gwyl" is
merely the Latin Vigilia turned into Welsh, and only an
attempt to explain Gula by popular etymology. The word
occurs in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, and in the glossary he
(Professor Skeat) describes it as "the eve before a feast,
so called because originally kept by watching through the
night".

The term "Gule of August" was used for a fixed date in
the thirteenth century (W. N. & Q.} p. 236), in the I. P.M.,
A.D. 1219, of the lands of Humpheyde de Bohun, where we
read — "the ten Virgators were paid 275. 6d. for their labour
from St. John the Baptist's Day to the Gule of August
(i.e., 38 days), and 505. id. from that date to Michaelmas."

Many questions have been asked as to whether "Gule of
August, Gula Augusti, Gwyl Awst", stands for the eve or the
Feast Day itself. It seems probable that, as in all other
Festivals of the Church, the Vigil or Eve of the day was
included in its observance. In the churchwardens' accounts
(1491) of St. Edmund's, Salisbury, we have the following: —
41 id. for coals to make Holy Fire on Easter Eve — all lights
were then quenched and fresh fire drawn from flint and
distributed by hallowed tapers."

The ceremony of bringing down new fire is still to be
seen every Easter at Florence, and similar survivals of the
ancient custom have been graphically described by Anatole le
Bras in his Land of Pardons.

The word "Gwyl" in modern Welsh stands for the
Festival day itself, and though the origin of the word is

unknown, the history attached to the Gule of August has
many exceedingly interesting sides to it.

Mortimer of Trowbridge (vol. v, p. 376).— Edward Mor-
timer, described in his P.C.C. Will as "Edward Mortimer the
elder, of Trowbridge, in the county of Wilts., gent.", married
Katharine, daughter of Robert Houlton, of Bradford, Clothier.

Robert Houlton, of Bradford, was living in 1632, as he is
mentioned in the P.C.C. Will of Frances Yerbury1 (widow of
Gifford Yerbury, of Bradford, gent), dated 24 March 1632/3,
as one of her supervisors.

He had the following children : — John Houlton (who

TWO WILTSHIRE MONUMENTS.

LTHOUGH the two subjects of this article were not
Wiltshiremen, one was officially connected with

our county, and the other was allied by marriage to
a daughter and descendant of ancient Wiltshire
families, and therefore we think they will not be out
of place in these pages.

PHILIP DAUBENEY, although a man of some considerable
note in his day, has not succeeded in obtaining a niche in that
Temple of Fame erected by the proprietors and editor of The
National Dictionary of Biography ; he has laid buried for
several centuries under a flat stone before the Great Gate of
the Holy Sepulchre, with the following inscription in Lom-
bardic character, and a shield charged with afess fusilly : —

the present Bishop of Salisbury
states, in a letter dated from
Salisbury, 27 June 1898 (Salis-

"He was at one time Gover-

what is now the Mitre House.

Maiesties imbroderer", and married by licence, Aug. 17, 1623,
at St. Mary-le-Strand, London, Catherine, daughter of Robert
Nicholas of Manningford Bruce, by Jane, daughter of Nicholas
St. John of Lydiard Tregoze, and hence descended from
Roche of Bromham ;x she was buried at Wandsworth, 4 Dec.
1678. In the Constitution of Vestry in 1627, Sir Thomas
Broderick, knt., is one of those appointed to be Vestrymen ;
his name also occurs in an indenture dated 30 Jan. 1631-2 ;

Ireland, created Viscount Midleton.2 The following are from

His monument was on the east wall of Wandsworth
parish church until 1900, in which year it was removed
by the late Lord Midleton to Peperharow Church. Its present
position is in the interesting old church of St. Nicholas,
nestling close to the family mansion built in the Italian style
in the eighteenth centurj^, and standing in a beautifully tim-
bered park well stocked with a fine herd of deer ; it is not

by Pugin, in the north aisle, enclosed with iron railings, the
heads of which are ingeniously treated as imbrued spear-heads •
but on the north side of the west tower, facing east. It is a

ancient barony de la Roche ; but although Thomas de la Roche signed and
sealed (three roaches naianf) the Barons' Letter to the Pope, it has been
held that this is no evidence of his having sat ; again, although he was
summoned to (and perhaps sat at) the Parliament at Lincoln, there is no
evidence of his ever having been summoned to any other Parliament meet-
ing during his lifetime. See Ancestor, vi, 186, and W. N. $ Q., iv, 523.

WILTON HOUSE, AND ITS LITERARY ASSOCIATIONS.

(Continued from p. 442.)

Of the lettered society mentioned by Mr. Sweeper, the cele-
brated physician, Dr. Thomas Muffett,1 is said to have retired

1 Second son of Thomas Muffett or Mowffett, citizen and girdler of
London, who was living in 1578, educated at Merchant Taylors' School,

Wilton House, and its Literary Associations. 495

to Bulbridge, near Wilton, at the wish of the Countess of
Pembroke [Mary Sidney]. He was M.P. for Wilton, and also
connected with Wiltshire by marriage, his second1 wife
Katherine (buried at Calne in 1626) having been the daughter
of William Sadler of Salthrop [in Wroughton], and widow
of Richard Browne of Studley, near Calne.2

Some account of Dr. Muffet will be found in Wood's
Athence Oxon., i, p. 200, and Munk's Roll of the Royal Coll.
of Physicians, i, p. 84. He was the medical attendant of Ann
[Stanhope], Duchess of Somerset, widow of the Protector,3
and the author, during his lifetime, of two medical works,
printed at Frankfort. Also a third, which he dedicated to
"the most renowned patroness and noble nurse of learning"—
Lady Pembroke. It is entitled :—

'•The Silkwormes and other Flies, Lively described in
Verse by T. M., a Countrie Farmer, and an Apprentice in
Physick. For the great benefit and enriching of England."
Printed at London by V. S.t for Nicholas Ling, and are to be
sold at his shop at the West end of P aide's, 1599.

This work, which is printed in quarto, has been highly praised.
He died in 1604, in which year his will was proved (see
hereafter), and was buried at Wilton. Long afterwards
two other volumes, printed from his MS., also issued from the
press — the first, a folio volume on entomology (a subject on
which he seems to have been a great authority), was published
by Sir Theodore de Mayerne, M.D., and is entitled :—

but the registers do not seem to exist earlier than 1562 ; a Thomas Muffett,
born 23 July 1602, was admitted to this School, 1 April 1617.

1 He had previously married, 23 Dec. 1580, as "of St. Mary, Cole-
church, doctor in medicine", Jane Wheeler, spinster, of the parish of St.
Ethelburgh.

2 In Calne church, on the floor of the north aisle, was formerly an
inscription : " Hie infra sepulti sunt Richardus Browne, Arm., ob. 9 Aug.
1598— Katherine, ejus uxor, postea u[xor] Tho. Moffet, M.D., filia Will'i
Sadler, Arm. de Salthrope, 3 Apr. 1626." In her will, dated 1621, she is
described as "of Calne, gentlewoman, widow". She bequeaths her daughter
Patience "her father's picture, his coat of arms, and his pedigree".

3 Who died in 1587, at the age of 90.

graphicd: Thorn. Cotes, 1634.

The second is a quarto volume, published some twenty years
later :—

ering the Nature, Method, and Manner of preparing all sorts of
Food used in this Nation. Corrected and enlarged by Chris.

Hugh Sanford was tutor to William, third Earl of Pem-
broke, and is said to have predicted the very day of his death
(see Ashm. MS., 174, f. 149). This is alluded to by Lord
Clarendon, and also by Donne in his dedication of the Earl's
Poems to Christian, Countess Dowager of Devon, in 1660.

It is interesting to find John Gerarde, the Cheshire herb-
alist, mentioned as a "gentleman scholler" at Wilton, and
among the hundreds of fine woodcuts of plants in the early
editions of his subsequent work, The Herball, or Generall
Historic of Plantes, gathered by John Gerarde, of London,
Master in Chirurgerie? we may almost imagine some of them
to represent local specimens gathered from this neighbour-
hood.

Philip Massinger, the great dramatist [1583-1640], as is
well known, spent part of his early days in Wilton House.
The son of Arthur Massinger, who held some situation of
trust in the Pembroke family,3 he was baptized in the church

1 [t is perhaps the best exposition of the philosophy of food as
practised in Shakespeare's days.

2 The excessively rare first edition, imprinted at London Tjy John
Norton, 1597, extends to some 1,700 folio pages, with about 2,000 illustra-
tions of plants, etc.

3 Eobert Whyte, Esq., writing from the Strand to Sir Robert Sidney,
1 March 1598, says, " Mr. Massinger is newly come up from the Earl of
Pembroke [Henry, second Earl] with letters to the Queen for his lordship's
leave to be away this St. George's Day [23 April]." See Sidney Letters
and Memorials of State, 1746.

of St. Thomas, Salisbury, 24 Nov. 1583, representing, in all
probability, an old Salisbury family, for among its municipal
records we find, in 1415, the name of Thomas Messagier as
the occupier of a tenement in St. Martin's street in that city.
It is well to keep this fact in print, as Massinger's birthplace
seems to have puzzled the editors of his works,1 and much
labour has also been spent in attempting to prove that his
family came out of Gloucestershire. Aubrey says, "Mr. Philip
Massenger, author of several good playes, was a servant to
Lord Pembroke, and had a pension of twenty or thirty pounds
per annum, which was payed to his wife after his decease" — a
circumstance unnoticed by his biographers. In this Wiltshire
notice of him it may also be mentioned that his character of
"Sir Giles Overreach", in the "New way to pay old debts"? was
drawn from Sir Giles Mompesson, a member of a family seated
in the village of Bathampton Wyly, not far from Wilton.3

Gervase Babington, domestic chaplain to Henry, second

1 Gifford, in his edition of Massinger, says that he was born in 1584,
in or near Salisbury, probably at Wilton, and that fruitless search had been
made in all the parish registers of Salisbury for the entry of his baptism.
Col. Cunningham, in his edition (1867) from the text of Gifford, suggests
that the baptism may have taken place at St. Edmunds, Salisbury, but
there is, he tell us, a vacuum in the register extending over the period in
which the name might have appeared. This account has been copied again
and again down to the present day.

2 The best known of Massinger's plays. Though written probably
about 1625, it was not published until 1633. Popular in its author's life-
time, it is the only one of his dramas which has borne revival in our own
day. This and The City Madam (1659) are distinguished as more English
than the rest ; the scene lies at home and in the age. In the latter we
have the masterly delineation of Luke, a villain of a different order from
Overreach, and a larger portion of comic humour and satire than is usual
with this writer.

3 Sir Giles, who was M.P. for Great Bedwyn 1614-20, had fallen into
serious disrepute. He abused the privilege of the exclusive manufacture
of gold and silver thread by a deceitful composition made of poisonous
drugs. The Parliament proceeded against him in 1621, his patent was
called in, he was degraded from the order of knighthood, fined £1,000, and
outlawed ; a sentence to which the King [James I] added perpetual banish-
ment. See also Massinger's The Bond-Man (1638), Act ii, Scene 3.

Earl of Pembroke, was Prebendary of Hereford, Bishop of
Llandaff 1591-1595, of Exeter 1595-1597, and of Worcester
1597 until his death in 1610. He is buried in Worcester
Cathedral.

Henry Parry was Dean of Chester, Bishop of Gloucester
1607-1610, when, on the death of Bishop Babington, he suc-
ceeded to Worcester, in which cathedral he was also buried
in 1616.

Abraham Conham, B.D., Prebendary and Canon resi-
dentiary of Salisbury, was also Rector of Bishopstone in
South Wilts 1584-1612, and of Gussage St. Michael, co.
Dorset, 1595-1612. By his wife Hester [Badby], buried at
Durrington 1647, he left two daughters and coheiresses, one
of whom married Walter White of Grittleton, the other
Edward Poore of Durrington.

The other divines mentioned by Mr. Sweeper — M. Wai-
ford, M. Parker [Robert Parker] and M. Bigs — have ap-
parently less local interest.

We now come to William, third Earl of Pembroke, who
at his father's death, in 1601, had scarcely attained his majority.
About this time he was banished from Queen Elizabeth's
Court for an intrigue with one of the Maids of Honour — Mary
Fitton — supposed to be the "Dark Lady" in Shakespeare's
Sonnets, and himself possibly the "Mr. W. H." alluded to as
the onlie begetter of them.1 In Elizabethan days, when dramatic
performances and masques were much in vogue, the bard of
Stratford-on-Avon is said to have himself assisted in the pro-
duction of some of his own plays in Wilton House; and the
earlier folios of his Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies, issued
after his death [in 1623 and 1632], are dedicated by the
publishers, John Heminge and Henry Condell, "to the most

1 In the full introduction to the 1890 edition of these Sonnets, by
Thomas Tyler, M.A., is given the evidence concerning the identification of
this Earl of Pembroke with the high-born, beautiful, and gifted youth for
whom Shakespeare expressed so devoted an attachment, and of Mrs. Mary
Fitton as the Sonnet-heroine.

Noble and Incomparable pair of Brethren, William, Earl of
Pembroke, &c., Lord Chamberlain to the Kings most Excellent
Majestic; and [his brother] Philip, Earl of Montgomery, &c.,
Gentleman to His Majesties Bed-Chamber".

To William, third Earl, Francis Davison inscribed his col-
lection of Poems, entitled The Rhapsody, in a dedicatory
sonnet as early as 1602. A late edition of this work, with pre-
face by Sir Egerton Brydges, was privately printed at the Lee
Priory Press 1814-17, and contains Poems of Sir Walter
Raleigh, Mary Countess of Pembroke, Sir Philip Sidney,
Henry Constable, and Sir H. Wotton.

To the same Earl is dedicated a small volume entitled
"Ars Aulica; or The Courtiers Arte". London: Printed by
Melch. Bradwood for Edward Blount, 1607.

Next we find a very rare volume of travels with the same
dedication :—

"An Exact and Curious Survey of all the East Indies, even
to Canton, the Chiefe Citie of China ; all duly performed by
Land, by Monsieur de Monfart, the like whereof was never
hitherto brought to an end, wherein also are described the huge
dominions of the Great Mogor, to whom that honourable Knight,
Sir Thomas Roe, was lately sent Ambassador from the King,
newly translated out of the Travailers Manuscript." T. Dawson
for W. Arondell, 1615.

In the first collected edition of "The Workes of Benjamin
Johnson", as revised by himself (W. Stansby, 1616), we find
Catiline dedicated "to the Earle of Pembrok", and Epigrammes
to the same. The epitaph on Lady Mary Sidney, the Earl's
mother, which is usually ascribed to Ben Johnson, has been
already noticed. A year later, Fynes Moryson also dedicated
a folio volume of travels,1 written " first in the Latine tongue,
and then translated by him into English" : —

"An Itinerary, containing his ten yeeres travell through the
twelve dominions of Germany, Bohmerland, Sweitzerland,

1 Fuller, the Church historian, relates that Moryson began his travels
1 May 1591, over a great part of Christendom, and no small share of Turkey,
even to Jerusalem, and afterwards printed his observations in a large book,
which, for the truth thereof, is in good reputation.

In 1622, Thomas Tomkins, late organist of Worcester
Cathedral, then of the Chapel Royal,1 dedicated to the same
Earl a small quarto volume of music : —

"Songs of 3, 4, 5 and 6 parts. By Thomas Tomkins,
Organist of his Maiesties Chappell Royall in Ordinary." Lon-
don : Printed for Matthew Lownes, John Browne, and Thomas
Snodham. Cum Privilegio.

Lord Pembroke died 10 April 1620. A brass statue of him
by Le Seour (said to have been designed as a monumental
memorial to be placed in the Lady Chapel of Salisbury
Cathedral) was presented, in 1727 to Oxford University. His
portrait by Vandyke was painted from this statue. At the
Restoration was published a small volume of poetical remains
under this title :—

" Poems written by the Right Honorable William, Earl of
Pembroke, Lord Steward of His Majesties Household; whereof
many of which are answered, by way of repartee, by Sir Benjamin
Ruddier, Knight,2 with several distinct Poems written by them
occasionally and apart." London: Printed by Matthew Inman,
and are to be sold by James Magnes, in Russel Street, near the
Piazza, in Covent Garden. 1660.

musicians than any other in England. At St. John's College, Oxford, there
is a volume written by Tomkins and Este, containing, among other remark-
able things, the Bass part of a Service by Tallis for five voices, otherwise
unknown.

daughter of Lord Bruce, was one of those ladies whom Lord
Pembroke selected for his poetical idolatry. She had carefully
preserved his fugitive pieces (mixed with others) in a common-
place book, which, thirty years or more after the Earl's death,
she gave to John Donne (son of the Dean of St. Paul's) to
publish. In so doing he used no discrimination, for besides
those of Sir Benjamin Rudyard, there are among them poems
of Sir Walter Raleigh, Carew, and others. In the collecting
of these poems for publication, Donne acknowledges the assis-
tance of Mr. Henry Lawes, a Wiltshireman, and one of the
greatest masters of music of that day.1

A second edition of these Poems was published by Sir
Egerton Brydges, in 1817 — the impression being limited to a
hundred copies.

The third Earl of Pembroke, dying without issue, was
succeeded by his younger brother Philip, Earl of Montgomery.
It was at this time that their relative, George Herbert,
succeeded to the neighbouring Rectory of Fugglestone, with
Bemerton.2 He was inducted 26 April 1630, and in less than
two years his remains were laid to rest in the chancel of
Bemerton Church.3 Of his best known works, The Temple,
Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations, was published from his
manuscript, by his friend Nicholas Ferrar, in 1633 — the year

1 Henry Lawes, whose name is closely identified with the Church Music
of the seventeenth century, was baptized at Dinton 5 Jan. 1695-6. He was
the friend of Milton, and the publisher, in 1637, of his Comus, the first and
finest of Milton's works, although not at that time openly acknowledged by
its author. In 1645, Lawes was Gentleman of the King's Chapel, and one
of His Majestie's Private Music.

2 His predecessor, Dr. Walter Curie, Dean of Lichfield, was promoted
to the Bishopric of Rochester 1628— Bath and Wells 1629— and Winchester
1632. He died 1647.

3 Herbert was already connected with Wiltshire by his marriage at
Edington, 5 March 1628, to Jane, third daughter of Charles Danvers, of
Baynton, in that parish; and by his subsequent residence at Dauntsey.
After the death of his father, Richard Herbert, of Chelsea, his mother,
Magdalen, had again married (as his first wife) Sir John Danvers, The
Ragicide, afterwards of West Lavington. Her Funeral Sermon was
preached by Dr. Donne, in 1627.

after his death.1 Later, in 1652, was also published A Priest
to the Temple, or the Country Parson, his Character and Rules
of Holy Life; also, in the same year was issued Remains, or
Sundry Pieces of that Sweet Singer of the Temple, Mr. George
Herbert, sometime Orator of the University of Cambridge. Of
the first two of these works, facsimile reprints of the original
editions appeared in 1876, 1882, and 1898 — whilst Herbert's
Complete Works in Verse and Prose were first fully collected
by Dr. Grosart, in Fuller's Worthies Library, 1874.

Philip, fourth Earl of Pembroke, succeeded to the Earldom
at the age of 46. He was Lord Chamberlain to Charles I, and
Chancellor of the University of Oxford— a patron of literature
and the fine arts. The south fa$ade of Wilton House,
designed by Inigo Jones, and rebuilt during his ownership,
bears witness also to his taste for architecture. Of Vandyke
he must have been a most liberal patron, for according to
Aubrey, he was the greatest owner, in his day, of the works of
that artist. Two portraits of himself (one with his wife and
children) are among the priceless remains of Vandyke's pencil
now preserved at Wilton. In 1640 was published a folio
volume entitled: —

"The Love and Armes of the Greek Princes; or, The
Romant of Romants, Written in French by Monsieur Verdere,
and Translated for the Right Honourable Philip, Earl of Pem-
broke and Montgomery, Lord Chamberlaine to his Majesty."
London : Printed by Thomas Harper, for Thomas Walkley, and
are to be sold at his Shop at the signe of the Flying Horse, neere
York House. 1640.

William Brown, the pastoral poet, who appears to have
been long domesticated in Wilton House, in the time of
William, the third Earl, is also found as translator of

"The History of Polexander, in five Bookes, done into

1 Within the next forty years it had passed through ten editions, and
his biographer, Izaak Walton, writing in 1670, says that more than twenty
thousand copies had been sold since the first impression. It would be
difficult to enumerate the many subsequent editions of this well-known
volume, and to calculate the sale from 1670 to the present time.

English by William Browne Gent.,1 for the Right Honourable
Philip, Earl of Pembroke." London: T. Harper. 1647.

In the same year was published another folio volume,
dedicated by James Shirley to the same nobleman: —

"The Comedies and Tragedies written by Francis Beaumont
and John Fletcher, Gentlemen, and never printed before, and
now published by the Authours Originall Copies." London:
Printed for Humphrey Moseley, at the Princess Armes in St.
Paul's Church Yard. 1647.

This is the first collected edition of the works of these
celebrated authors.

Early in the Civil War Lord Pembroke sided with the
Parliament — a step which provoked much satire, and some
violent lampoons, from the Royalist party. Samuel Butler,
the author of Hudibras} thus writes of him : —

"Pembroke's a Covenanting Lord,
That ne'er with God or Man kept word,
One day he'd sware he'd serve the King,
The next was quite another Thing;
Still changing with the Wind and Tide,
That he might keep the stronger Side."

Octob: i : 1632 :

She was ('whose Tombe thou uiest) a faithfull wife
Chaste, Cheereful, frugall, Pleasing to her Fere

Patient and Peaceable hating all strife
A sweete companion and a friend most deare.

Childless she was, yet mother unto many

She made the poore, her brother, sister, mother :

As Kind shee was unto her Kinne as any

To Equall her, tis' hard to find another

A Curteouse neighbour, good to one and all,

Yet taught by Grace, to put a difference,

For Piety the best, wee may her call,

That living in our age, was taken hence.

A Saint shee was on Earth, A Saint Shee is

Moane all our losse, but envy none her Blisse.

Tipper's Charity and James Blake.— Amongst the many
pamphlets written by Captain King, E.I.C.S., known for many
years in the neighbourhood of Devizes for his amiable eccen-
tricities, is one printed before 1880, on the Seend Chanty
Lands ; it is anonymous, "by a Lover of Truth and Justice".
In it he states, "in 1789, through the instrumentality of James
Blake, a Wesley an, the rent of certain lands was given in the
shape of coats to the poor, to which it has been applied ever
since." Who was this James Blake, and what is the authority
of the writer for saying "he fought the battle with the Over-
seers about the misapplication of this rent ?" There is nothing
in the parish books about it, although the distribution of the
bug coats does commence about this time. SAGE.

Gigant Street. — Can you throw any light on this name,
vulgarly "Jiggens Street", in Codford St. Mary? Of course
1 know the street so called in Salisbury, presumably from St.
Christopher being carried that way. D. C.

Wilton Cedars. 525

Wilton Cedars (vol. v, pp. 435-6). — Will the writer of
the interesting paper on "Wilton's Literary Associations"
kindly give his authority for the statement that the cedars
there were planted about 1640, for books on Forestry give
1683 as the earliest date when Cedars of Lebanon were intro-
duced into Britain. V. L. OLIVER.

Smollett's "Humphrey Clinker". — Besides the extremely
rare first edition of Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, printed at
Salisbury in 1766 (vol. iv, pp. 425, 474), Smollett's Expedition
of Humphrey Clinker is said (in an article on Wiltshire, Quar-
terly Review, vol. ciii, pp. 108-138) to have been also first
printed here. Is this correct ? The latter work, in three
volumes i2mo, seems to have first appeared in 1771, but 1
have not met with a copy of this edition to enable me to verify
the above statement. E. K.

Dean Swift. — Is it possible to connect him with our
county? At Sherrington there were a number of "Swifts"
and "Gullivers" about Queen Anne's time, and "Jonathan"
and "Tristram" seem common names. D. C.

Richard Jefferies. — I have been asked to write a life of
this celebrated author, and am anxious to know something
definite about his family and its settlement at Coate farm, in
the parish of Chiseldon, and its connexion with the Jefferies
of Draycot Foliat and other neighbouring parishes of North
Wiltshire. Will your readers communicate direct with me ?

Anthony's Walk (vol. v, p. 374). — The track here alluded
to (apparently the ancient British Ridgway) is probably so
called from St. Anthony, the great hermit. There seems
always to have been a strong tendency to connect any old
track or causeway either with monks or nuns. A walk near
Warminster, known as the Nun's Path, was, in 1777, the sub-
ject of a descriptive poem of 35 pages, and very recently, when
the question of relaying part of the time-worn causey, some
two miles in length, which traverses the village of Poulshot,
was introduced to the Urban District Authority at Devizes, it
was at once identified as an old Monks' Walk, in accordance
with usual tradition. SCRIBA.

FOUR WILTSHIRE BOOKS.

During this year the four following books have been
issued from the press : — i, A SCHOOL HISTORY OF WILTSHIRE,
by Francis Smith, of Calne ; 2, ROUND ABOUT WILTSHIRE, by
A. G. Bradley ; 3, BRADFORD-ON-AVON, edited by Dr. Beddoe ;
4, THE LIFE OF SIR TOBIE MATTHEW.

i. Mr. Smith finding that his pupils "knew nothing of
the history of their County, of peculiar historical interest, and
so rich in memorials of the far distant past", proceeded to

prepare some notes for their instruction, and the present
volume is the happy result. It is concise, well illustrated,
and the author is clever in his way of treating, or of perhaps
not treating, controversial subjects ; it has been recommended
by the educational authorities for use in our Schools, which
recommendation we hope will take effect, a knowledge of the
past being so often useful in solving problems of the present

2. This is of quite a different character, being mainly the
result of notes taken on a bicycle tour, "the outcome of a long
summer's ramble", and therefore only takes account of those
places actually visited by the tourist. It is most agreeably
written, and profusely illustrated, many of the pictures being
coloured. Commencing with Maryborough, Mr. Bradley gives
a long account of the struggles at the birth of the now
successful College ; perhaps for a work of such a size, he has
devoted too much space to this town, but this is only natural,
as he was one of the earliest Marlburians.

3. This handsome, well-printed quarto, published by sub-
scription, by Mr. Dotesio, is a reprint of the late Canon Jones'
work, which appeared in The Wilts Archaeological Magazine,
brought more or less up to date, the fresh matter being
contained in brackets ; much water has flowed under the
ancient bridge of old Bradford during the last fifty years, and
we think such matter might have been considerably added to,
e.g., the Church Inscriptions might have been largely increased ;
these were printed some years ago by the writer, who sent a
copy to be deposited amongst the parish archives. It is so
handsomely illustrated that it is a pity that Horton's merchant's
mark should be wrongly drawn and printed upside down ;
again, we think that the so-called "Arms" of Bradford should
have been omitted, and the Town would be well advised to
cease to use them, until it had procured proper authority from
the Officers appointed by the Sovereign for such purposes.
There is a short preface by Dr. Beddoe.

4. This is not strictly a Wiltshire book, but deserves
notice, being the life of one born in our County, written by

528 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

"the Earl of Landaff", who for some years resided — and was
well known — in Trowbridge and its neighbourhood.

Tobie Matthew was born at Salisbury in 1577, his father,
of the same name, being Precentor of the Cathedral, and at
that time Dean of Christ Church ; he afterwards became Arch-
bishop of York; his mother was the widow of the son of
Archbishop Parker, her father being " Bishop" Barlow; "her
epitaph proudly records the fact that she had also Four
Bishops her Brethren-in-Law." In spite, or perhaps because,
of this curious, and possibly in the opinion of some, unsavoury
family connexion her son Tobie became a Catholic priest, and
a Jesuit, as some say, but of this there is no evidence ; he was
intimate with the Society and bequeathed all his property to
it. For his recusancy he was imprisoned for two years, and
probably in such troublous times would have gained the crown
of martyrdom, had it not been that he was a most useful and
efficient go-between with the English Court and those of
Rome and the continent; perhaps also he owed his immu-
nity to his powerful Protestant relations and his friendship
with Bacon. This "remarkable personality" has been called
the "Alter Ego" of the great philosopher, who submitted
nearly all his works for his criticism and advice before publish-
ing them ; Tobie translated some of his friend's works into
Italian, in addition to other works, and left a great mass of
letters behind him, many of which are to and from Bacon,
the source of much of our knowledge of the history of that
time. So great was his influence that he is said to have
persuaded Bacon to become a Catholic before his death. It is
a book well worth reading, and is enriched with many good
reproductions of old portraits, one of which, the frontispiece,
is that of Tobie Matthew himself. Knighted in 1623, he repre-
sented both Newport and St. Albans in Parliament. All
these books have indexes.

WILTON HOUSE, AND ITS LITERARY ASSOCIATIONS.

(Continued from p. 503.)

HE following are some of the tracts relating to the
Earl of Pembroke, which we find issued during
the Civil War period :—

"A Letter to the Earle of Pembroke from Sir Edward
Baynton in Glocester, shewing the true manner how him-
selfe and Captain Edward Eyre were surprised at Malmsbury by
two Lieutenant-Collonels under the Earl of Stamford's Command
upon pretended ground, and contrary to some scandalous rela-
tions in print, with the reasons inducing him formerly to seize
upon Sir Edward Hungerford." London: Printed for Thomas
Creake, January 22, 1642.

" The Earl of Pembroke's Speech to Nol-Cromwell, Lord
Deputy of Ireland, with his Royall Entertainment of him at his
Manner of Ramsbury in Wiltshire, on his Journey to Ireland, on
Thursday, July 12, 1649. Taken verbatim by Michael Oldisworth,
and by him Recommended to one of his Lordship's Tenants, to
see it carefully printed and published." Nod-Nol, Printed by the
Printer of the House of Lords, 1649.

The fourth Earl died 23 Jan. I649-50.1 Of his second wife,
Lady Anne Clifford [daughter and heir of George, Earl of
Cumberland, and widow of Richard Sackville, third Earl of
Dorset] who survived him, a notice will be found in Mrs.
Aubrey Richardson's Famous Ladies of the English Court,
1899. Her funeral Sermon, preached by Edward Rainbow,
Bishop of Carlisle [1664-84], is printed in Carlisle Tracts,
1839-44.

With George Herbert's residence at Bemerton [1630-32]
one naturally expects to find his friend and biographer, Izaak
Walton, a visitor here ; and on the banks of the river Wylye,
which passes through a portion of the grounds at Wilton,
joining the Nadder outside the park walls, and flowing on-
wards through the meadows near Bemerton Rectory, on its
way to Salisbury, we may imagine Walton busily engaged in
plying the "gentle art". Both rivers contain trout and gray-
ling, and here he is said to have composed much of his
charming work The Complete Angler, or the Contemplative
Maris Recreation, which has lost but little, if any, of its popu-
larity since its first issue in 1653.

Philip, the fifth Earl [1650-69] who died at the age of 48,
sold a great quantity of the pictures and books at Wilton,
collected by his ancestors.

From him we pass on to Thomas, eighth Earl [1683-1733]
— a virtuoso and a collector of statues and coins. He was
Lord High Admiral, First Lord of the Admiralty, and a Presi-
dent of the Royal Society. The large collection of ancient

also attributed to him, were written by Samuel Butler, the author of Hudi-
bras, and are to be found in the second volume of his Posthumous Works.

sculptures at Wilton, which originated with him, are well
known both in England and on the Continent, from the
various descriptions of them which were published during the
latter half of the eighteenth century.1 In 1751, we find A
Description of the Pictures, Statues, Bustos, Basso-relievos,
and other Curiosities, by Richard Cowdry, printed at London.
Three years later, a similar work by Antonio Pillori, was
issued at Florence.2 Again, four years later, is found a local
publication, entitled : —

" A New Description of the Pictures, Statues, Bustos, Basso-
relievos, and other Curiosities, at the Earl of Pembroke's House,
at Wilton. In the Antiques of his collection are contained the
whole of Cardinal Richelieu's and Cardinal Mazarine's, and the
greatest part of the Earl of Arundel's, besides several particular
Pieces purchased at different times ; by James Kennedy." Salis-
bury ; printed by Benjamin Collins, on the New Canal; and sold
by R. Baldwin, in Pater-noster-Roiv, London, 1758.

This went through many octavo editions, of which three at
least, published in 1765, 1769, and 1786, were also issued in
quarto size, with twenty-five plates of the principal sculp-
tures, engraved by Gresse. To the edition of 1769 is added
"Anecdotes and Remarks from the MS. of Thomas, Earl of
Pembroke, now first printed".

In 1774 we find another work on the same subject,
entitled :—

" &des PembrochiancB ; or a critical Account of the Statues

and other Curiosities at Wilton House, formed on the plan of Mr.

Spence's Polymetis." By Mr. Richardson.

The eleventh edition, containing 145 pages, small octavo,
Salisbury 1788, has an altered title: —

"AUdes PembrochiancE ; a New Account and Description of
the Antiquities and Curiosities in Wilton House, in which the
ancient Poets and Artists are made mutually to explain and illus-

what questionable authenticity.

trate each other. To which is prefixed a Dissertation on the
Origin, Progress, and Decay of Sculpture among the Greeks and
Romans/'

In 1798 this work had reached a thirteenth edition.
More recently, on the occasion of the Meeting of the Archaeo-
logical Institute at Salisbury, in 1849, appeared the privately
printed Notes on the Sculptures at Wilton House, by Charles
Newton, M.A., of the British Museum, extending to thirty-one
octavo pages.

In addition to the sculptures, the coins,1 also collected by
Thomas, eighth Earl, form the subject of a thick quarto,
published by Robson, which contains engravings of many
hundreds of the finest specimens :—

" Numismata Antiqua in tres partes divisa. Collegit olim et
aeri incidi vivens curavit Thomas Pembrochiae et Montis Gomerici
Comes." \Londini\ 1746.

The work actually consists of four parts, the last contain-
ing English and Scottish coins.

"Nummi Anglici et Scotici cum aliquot Numismatibus recen-
tioribus collegit Thomas Pembrochiae et Montisgomerici Comes."
[No date.~\

Henry, ninth Earl, designed many additions to Wilton
House, and dying 1 749-50, was succeeded by his son Henry,
tenth Earl, then at the age of fifteen. Several years later we
find him a rising and most zealous officer, devoted to military
pursuits and a great favourite at Court. Among the foreigners
who settled in England about this time was Domenick Angelo
Tremamondo, a native of Leghorn,2 and a matchless fencer
and rider, who, in London, founded that celebrated family
of masters which made the "Angelo School of Arms" a

Wilton, but in the Bank of England, the collection including a complete
series of almost every ancient nation, in gold, silver, copper, and mixed
metals.

household word among men of fashion. He became famous
as a teacher of the "Art of Equitation", and Fencing and
Riding Master to the Prince of Wales and other members of
the family of George II. The Earl of Pembroke also became
one of his principal patrons. He started a private manege of
his own at his house in Whitehall, and another at Wilton ;
and Angelo became his ecuyer, and the Earl his disciple,

"With Angelo, Pembroke had taken much pains
To keep a good seat and to handle the reins,"

and when the Earl assumed the command of Elliot's Light
Horse (now the i5th Hussars), the crack regiment of the
time, he persuaded Angelo to take a house at Wilton, and to
undertake the training of a select number of riding instructors
from the regiment.1 Thus, for a time, Angelo was practically
Riding Master to the Army, and the principles which he
introduced, approved by Lord Pembroke, of riding, breaking,
and training horses, were those which were followed through-
out the whole of the Cavalry Service. Some of Angelo's
principles the Earl afterwards embodied in a small volume of
which he became the author, entitled—

"Method of Breaking Horses, and Teaching Soldiers to
Ride; designed for the use of the Army, 1762,"

with folding plates of horse accoutrements, etc.

Of this work a later edition, printed at Salisbury in 1778,
bears an altered title —

" Military Equitation ; or a Method of Breaking Horses, and
Teaching Soldiers to Ride. Designed for the use of the Army.
By Henry, Earl of Pembroke, &c. Revised and Corrected, with
Additions."

This edition is printed in quarto size, and contains seven-
teen plates. A fourth edition appeared in 1793, the Earl
having himself become quite an authority on the subject.

1 It is worthy of note that Philip Astley, founder, in 1780, of the Royal
Amphitheatre, near Westminster Bridge, and himself so famous as a rider,
was one of the troopers who came under Angelo's training at Wilton.

Wilton House, and its Literary Associations. 535

His death took place in the following year, at the age of fifty-
nine.

To the subject of these notes there is doubtless more
which might yet be added. From the material here collected
it will, however, be seen that much of the best literature of the
Elizabethan and Jacobean periods came to light under the
patronage of the Pembroke family ; and we may well imagine
that the uniform dedication to them of so many of the finest
works of that date was an acknowledgment of some substan-
tial assistance, either pecuniary or otherwise, on the part of
their authors. But for Sir Philip Sidney's connexion with
Wilton his Arcadia might have been unwritten, or, for aught
we now know, some of the volumes here enumerated may
have remained unpublished. But for the patronage of Van-
dyck, by Philip, fourth Earl of Pembroke, some of the finest
works of that artist, now in Wilton House, would also have
remained unpainted.

To the literary associations of Wilton in bygone days,
must be added the many published works of Lady Herbert of
Lea (both original and translated), as also those of the late
Earl of Pembroke, which bear testimony to the literary talent
of members of the Herbert family in our own day.

ADDENDA.

Nicholas Breton, p. 441. One of his earlier works, Auspi-
cante Jehoua, was published in 1597. Passages in Wits
Trenchmour, 1597 (an angling idyll — the best of his prose
tracts) refer to the rejection of the poet's love suit by a lady
of high station (himself of ancient family) ; and it seems not
improbable that this intimacy with her (Countess of Pem-
broke ?) passed beyond the bounds of poet and patron.
Whatever the character of the relationship, it ceased after
1601.

Countess of Pembroke's Epitaph, p. 441. The first stanza,

536 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

as here printed, is usually ascribed to Ben Jonson. A second
stanza, beginning

" Marble piles let no man raise,"

is found in Donne's edition of William third Earl of Pem-
broke's Poems (1660), and is sometimes attributed to him.
Hazlitt makes the plausible suggestion that whoever com-
posed the first or original stanza, the addition is the work
of another pen, namely Lord Pembroke. Gifford, in his Ben
Jonson, viii, 337, calls it a paltry addition, and also assigns it
to Lord Pembroke on the authority of the volume edited by
Donne in 1660, containing, as Mr. Gifford says, "the prefix-
ture of Lord Pembroke's usual initials". But Sir Egerton
Brydges, in re-editing this volume, in 1817, points out that in
the original MS. of Lord Pembroke's Poems (Lansdowne MS.,
British Museum) such initials are wanting ; and he conse-
quently ascribes the second stanza to William Brown, the
pastoral poet, on the authority of the manuscript of his Poems
in the British Museum.

William Brown, pp. 441, 502. A manuscript copy of the
Third Book of his Pastorals was discovered by the late
Beriah Botfield, M.P., of Norton Hall, Daventry, in the
Library of Salisbury Cathedral. See Notes on the Cathedral
Libraries of England, 1849.

M. Parker, pp. 442, 498. M[agister] Parker was most
probably Robert Parker, Rector of Patney 1592-3, and Vicar

Mortimer of Trowbridge (vol. v, p. 376). — I am much
obliged to Mr. Llewellyn Gwillim and to Mr. R. Boucher for
the information kindly given ; if the latter can tell me whether
John Mortimer (the son of Edward Mortimer and Catherine

574 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Houlton his wife) married Catherine Houlton, I shall be
obliged.

Burke's History of Commoners says that Catherine, the
daughter of Joseph Houlton, married John Mortimer. The
first wife of John Mortimer was named Catherine, but I
wonder whether Burke is correct in saying she was a
Houlton ?

So far I have been unsuccessful in tracing the father of
Edward Mortimer, who died in 1704, and accept with pleasure
Mr. Llewellyn Gwillim's kind offer of further assistance. The
Wilts Subsidy Rolls of about 1664 give an Edward Mortimer
as paying taxes in the Boro' of Calne, but I did not find his
death in the Parish Registers between that date and 1 704, nor
anything about him ; perhaps he moved to Trowbridge, or he
may be the Edward Mortimer who died in Preshute parish in
1674.

I am offering a reward of ^10 for documentary evidence
of the family to which Edward Mortimer, of Trowbridge,
belonged, and will be pleased to send the terms of my offer to

any one who will communicate with me.

Raleigh of Downton.— In Vol. ii of W. N. & Q. I
printed all that I could then put together anent this family.
The only small additional item since discovered is that the full
name of the wife of Rev. Walter Raleigh (murdered in 1646)
was Maria, daughter of Sir Ralph Gibbs (? Sir Ralph Gibbs,
of Honington, co. Warwick). Could not some of your able
correspondents, with local advantages, aid in making this
pedigree more complete ? Anything connected with the
Raleighs is of more than ordinary interest. When did they
cease connexion with Downton ? Was Carew Raleigh, M.P.
for Downton 1698-1702, the son (as I suggest) of Sir Charles
(died 1678) ? and was he the last of the Downton line? Are

Phelps, alias Bromham, of Avebury. 575

there no Monumental Inscriptions to members of the family
in Downton Church ? I understand that the Parish Register
dates from 1602.

W. D. PINK.

Phelps, alias Bromham, of Avebury. — In the eighteenth
century, Richard Phelps, of Whitechapel, London, a native of
Avebury, cast the great clock bell of St. Paul's Cathedral,
weighing nearly four tons. In 1607-8 we find the name of
Richard Phelps, alias Bromham, of Avebury, among Wiltshire
freeholders. A Richard Felpes, alias Bromham, held a mes-
suage, garden, orchard, barn, and close of pasture at Beck-
hampton (in Avebury) of John Goldsmith, gent., who died
1640. Inquisition post mortem. Later on they appear at
Bishop's Cannings, and West Overton,

Richard Phelpes, alias Bromham, and Ann [Cooke] of Coate
were married i May 1664.

R. [Phjelps and Jone Hill married by licence 6 Nov. 1692.

William Skeate, junr., of Bishop's Cannings, and Ann
Phelps, alias Bromham, of Avebury, married 22 Apr. 1711.

Bishop's Cannings Register.

Robert Phelps, alias Bromham, of West Overton, living
1682, married Rebecca, daughter of John Mayo, of Broad
Somerford, and their daughter Rebecca married, at Preshute,
5 Jan. 1698, John Smith, of Wan borough. This Robert
Phelps had two elder brothers: John, who died 1683, and
William, a merchant tailor of London.

Can any correspondent of W. N. 6s Q. connect these
parties, or throw additional light on their history — and does
the following entry in Rowde Parish Register refer to another
member of the same family ?

" Richard Phelps was born in ye Parish of Rowd and was
Bound Aprentis at London ye 25 day of April 1699, and was
made a freeman of ye Company of Plumbers and also freeman
of ye City of London ye 9 Sept. 1709, and this is [his?] hand-
writing of ye 25 day of October 1710."— Rowde Parish Register.

576 Wiltshire Notes and Queries.

Wiltshire Court Rolls.— Information as to any Court
Rolls of Manors in Wiltshire in private hands is requested by
the Manorial Society which has recently been formed for the
printing of documents relating to manorial history, and which
is now engaged in compiling a list of Court Rolls in private
hands. Any information forthcoming would be gladly

received for the Society.

Wiltshire Bellfounders.— The earliest bellfounder at
Salisbury, so far as at present known, was Henry Penker,
whose name occurs in 1494. The subsequent list begins with
John Wallis 1581-1633. Then follow the names of Danton,
Purdue, Boulter, Lett, Flower, and Tbsier, until the Salisbury
foundry, which had long been famous for its bells, finally
ceased in 1731.

Before Wallis (1581) we may now add another early
founder — Thomas Ware — whose will was proved in London
1578, but some other name, or names, must be still wanting to
complete the list between Penker (1494) and Ware.

At Devizes the only recorded foundry seems to be that of
James Burrough 1738-1754; but from an entry in the Church-
warden's accounts of SS. Peter and Paul at Marlborough, we
find that in 1579 the bells of that Church were sent to Devizes
to be re-cast. Is the name of the earlier founder known ?

At Lavington there is also said to have been sometime a
bell foundry. Is the name or date known ?
