ANNUAL MEETING. The Annual Meeting of the Members of the Sbropsliire Arcb geological Society was held on Tuesday afternoon, December 19, at the ^Museum, College Hill, Shrew.sbury. The Earl of P.radford occupied the chair, and there were also present : — The ilcv. Cano Lloyd and liutler, the Kev. F. W. Kittermaster, the Kev. C. H. Drinkwater, the Rev. T. Auden, the Rev. J. W. More, Dr. E. J. Parry, Dr. Cranage, and Messi-s. A. Sparrow, W. Phillips, Calcott, Morris, J. Parsons Smitli, J.R.Humphreys, J. P. White, Middleton Howells, H. J. Oldroyd, W. Beckwith, John Humphreys, W, H. Adnitt, and F. Goyno (Secretary). The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said' that he did not know whether there was any more business to be done at that meeting than was usual at their annual gathei'ings, as the agenda had only just been placed in his hands. He could only say that he was very glad to meet the members of that Association, and should bo liappy to assist them in every possible way. He might mention that everybody was dependent upon railways, and he wanted to get away in a short time. He would call upon the Secretary to read tho annual report and statement of accounts. The Secretary then read the following : — The Council of the Shropshire Archai'ological and Natural nistory Society again present tlicir Report and Statement of Accounts to the incnibers at their 4nnual Meeting. In doing so they are ;;lad to rcjiort that no serious diminutiou in the list of members has takon jjlace, alth(tngh they have with regret to announce the loss by death and resignation of several. The (Council, however, earnestly hope that all will use tlieir l)i>Nt exertions in obtaining new members, ho that the Society may be clliciuntly carried (Hi. lly the ai'counts it will be seen that C2 ~} lias licen received dnriiii,' the year in subserii)ti()ns and arrears, and £1!)

The Joint Conunittce of this Society and tlie Town Council will lay a statement of their present position Lefore this meeting. The Council have given eon>ideralde attention to the terms on -w hich they jiropose to hand over the valuable Museum to the tow n an»l county as a free iMuscum. The.-e tcrni.s will be laid before the members to-day, and a list of the pro]iused trustees .■-ubuiitted for approval. The number of visitors to the Museum has beeu about the average ot other years, viz., I.ol!). Tlu; Council have received valuable donations of various arli»-les of archa t)higical interest, lor which they lender their be.'^t thanks to the donor.s. 'i he Council arc glad to lind that the Tran\((rfiott.s of the ISociety are a welcouie addition to the history of the county, and feel sure the inem])ers will conlially unite with them in convey iuir their thanks to the llcv. W. A. Leighton for his very valuable and unwearied gratuitous labour.s a.s Editor of the Tran.'^nciionn. 'J'lie thanks of the meeting arc also given to the Honorary Curator.s for their services in the dillerent departments; and the Council es])ecially call attention to the valuable labours of Dr. Callaway in arranging the geological sj)eciniens at the Museum, on which he has bestowed much care and attention, and for which their mo>t hearty thanks are given to him. A large account for cases referred to in the last report is still unpaid, but the Council hope shortly to discharge the .same. Tlic Chairinau tlicn moved "That the report and statement of accounts now read be adopted, printed, and cii'ciiluted among the members of the Society." lie (Lord Bradford) must say that he Lad simply and hurriedly road the report, and had attended there more with the object of obtaining information than to give it. He would much rather bear the opinions of others upon it than give his own. Although the Society was not so large in the number of members or receipts, they were looking forward to anew start, when the collection would be handed over into other custody, and the expenses of that Museum would be done away with. ^Applause.; There was a small itam, in addition to the ordinary expenses, of £1 IGs. for the gates at Wroxetcr. lie thought it was very satisfactory to see in their report the cfl'orts which had been nnido to secure the old Shrewsbuiy Schools lor II Muscuju IVeo to the town and county, lie hoped bcloro the next amnial nie(ding they would have accom])lished that. (Loud a[)i)lansc.) They wuuhl hear the suggested terms presently, whieh would be suhniitted with a number of 'I'rustees to be appointed, for their appr(Aal. lie saw, too, thai the Ihatd^s of the meeting were to bo given to the licv.

Morris moved (and it was seconded by Mv. J. P. Smith and carried) a resolution re-electing the Council. Canon Butler then proposed a vote of thanks to the Rev. W. A. Leighton, for his valuable services as Editor, and referred to the great and continuous labour attendant on the oOice. — Mr. W. l*liilli])s, in seconding tliis, said very fow knew the largo niuount of work tlie editoi'.ship entiiikMl, aud, amongst other things tbe con-cspomlcneo it neci^ssitated with the piintei'S. The resolution was carried with very lu'arty api)lause. — Votes of thanks were als-o carried to the Treasurer, Mr. Slaney Eytou, and the Auditors, Messrs. Onions and Oldroyd, who were re-elected. Tin: OLD scnooL buildings. The Chairman thou called u})on Mr. Adnitt, the Secretary of the Joint Committees, to report upon the purchase of the Old School buildings. Mr. Adnitt having read the conditions, said that a circular had been drawn up, and out of the £1,000 required more than f B.OOO had beou collected. He would especi dly ask the Association to thank Mr. E. Creswell i^eele for the intense'trouble he had taken in the matter, and for the way in which he had met the Governing Body. It was Mr. Peele who had removed most of the difficulties. He did not believe in placnig so valuable a collection as that Society possessed in a hack sti-eet, and he hoped that before the 25 th of March they would be able to ])lace it in as suitable buildings as were possessed by any other town in England. Canon Butler said that the last portion of the money was generally the most difficult to get. He wished Mr. Adnitt would tell them the exact amount collected. Mr. Adnitt said they had actually collected £3,025, and he had promises of more than £200 in addition. Canon Butler proposed " Tint the members present at this meeting, having heard the state of the funds for the purchase of the old buildings of Shrewsbury School, cordially agree to use every endeavour to raise the necessary balance to complete the object in view." There was not only £1,000 wanted, but it would take another £1,000 to fit the building up, ho hoped the sum would be obtained, and that they would all use their best exertions to get the money together. Mr. J. Calcott seconded the resolution. Canon Lloyd said that he should be glad to know whether it was the intention of the Cornnuttee to go forward with the work at once, as he thought January was an appropi iate season to collect. Mr. Adnitt said that ho liad hcc.n aciing under the instructions of Mr. Pcide, and ho had not ])ush{'d so much, as sn!)scriptions bad hi l U ask(Hl foi- the lloyid Agricultural Society, lie hclicvcd (liat. wlicu the old school boys were apjjoalcd t,) a luaiidy response would lu; nimU-. He would see that an !i])])eal was made in Jiinuary. in i-(!|)ly to i;oi-d Bradlbrd, ]\lr. Adnil t said (h;il 1 luM-olleetions of t he Society would lui vested in tiaistin (lie Town Council, and that it would be free to the ])ublic for evcM-. vili. Canon Lloyd said that the Governing body of the Old School had decreased the sum on condition that the collection should bo handed over to the care of the Mayor and Corporation in trust. The Chairman — Then the Archaiological Society will be neither the purchasers nor owners. The resolution was eventually carried. The, Chairman then called upon the Secretary to read the terms of the proposed transfer of the Museum to the School Buildings when purchased, which Mr. Adnitt read. In reply to Dr. Cranage, IMr. Adnitt said that Trustees would be appointed, and the collection would only remain in the hands of the Corporation so long as it was well cared for by them. Mr. riiillips said that it would be invested in the hands of certain trustees, but under the entire control of the Corporation, with certain conditions, so long as it was free and open to the public and properly cared for. Lord Bradford said that be did not doubt that the thing would be perfectly safe in the hands of the Corporation, but in order to see that it was properly entrusted he should like to have a legal opinion. Mr. Sparrow then moved: — '"That this meeting liaving heard the terms read as proposed by the ('ouncil for the transfer of the Museiun of the Society to the Old Buildings, do agree to the same, and that the following members be elected Trustees to act for the Society in such transfer, who shall have full power to make all necessary arrange- ments : — The Earl of Ikadford, Stanley Leighton, Esq., ]\LP., Canon Butler, Bev. T. Auden, B,ev. W. A. Leigiiton, Ih. Wm. Phillips, Ml". Adnitt, and ]\Ir. J. B. Humphreys." He must say that he was in favour of the purchase, and it would be a profound misfortune that such historic buildings as the Old (Irammar Schools should be pulled down, or used for other purposes not so desirable. His lordshi}) had asked a very w ise and pertinent question as to the ownership, but the collection was well known and good, and was generally esteemed. ^ri»e ci'catest care, he believed, would be taken of it. Shrewsbury and the county were proud of it, and would do their best to preserve it. If th(i (Corporation did not deal with it properly, then the Trustees could step in. lie had gj-eat ])leasure in moving the resolution. Mr, J. I*. White, in seconding the resolution, siud he believed that long before tlie t'uno it was wanted the money would be raised both for ])archase and repairs. There were numbers who were most anxious to subscribe. The collection would be placed in the hands of Trustees, and would be as it were a loan to the Corporation, wiio would see that it was properly looked after and kept constantly before the public. iTe must say that ho had every conlidonce in Mr.recle. Tlu) rt\solution was then j)ut U) llu) meeling and carried, and after vt)(rs of thanks inid been passed to the noble Chaiiinan and others the luoeting separated. LIST OF MEMBERS, AUGUST, 1882.

An account of their descent has i)een given already, but it may be convenient to have a few further notes. William hoAvke of lirewood married Margaret, daughter of John \Vhor\\'ood of Compton, a, handet near AVolverhampton.

His grand-children Avere females or children of fem:des. Sanders says that the Fowke family possessed Little Aston in L583, and that lioger Fowke, by Joan, daughter and codieir of Pioger Fowke of Gunstone, had issue Thomas (as he sujq)Oses, of Little Aston) and four daughters ; 1.

Such was the liberty ot* the subject secured by the Parhiunent.

His first wile l)eino- dead, lloger Fowke married a widow, Sibil TurnbuU, and had issue three sons, James, Koger, and Walter, the two first of whom died unmarried, and the third married twice ; firstly, ^hiry, daughter of the liev.

This M'dvy ]\[icklethw:iite was bapti/.ed at St. Mary's, Beverley, 21st May, 1009, married to Walter Fowke (who is called her second husband) at Cherry Burton 20th February, 1636-7, and buried there 2nd Sep- tember, 16 GO, having' had issue Fhineas, baptized 7th January, 1G38-9 ; AValter, baptized 14th January, IG41-2, obt. infans ; Mary, baptized 1st December, 1G37 ; Sarah, baptized 1st Sej)tember, 1G45 ; Z:d)eil (Sybil), baptized 24th November, 1G4G ; and Martha, baptized 8th August, 1G58, married 1G82. Shaw^, in his account, omits Mary, and lloger, he says, died yoimg. Phineas Fowke was the only son who grew up. lie was President of the College of Physicians in London, but finally succeeded, upon the death of Thomas Fowke the younger, to the family property at AVyrley Grove, as it is now called. He was a man of most kindly and benevolent disposition, freely giving the benefit of his great medical learning and skill, while his reverence for his race is marked by the inscriptions (pioted above, which he caused to be cn-ected. Before, however, sj)eaking more of this branch wc may remark that Waller lAnvk(^ niai'i'ied secondly Anne IMeadow, widow, by A\ hom he was father of Jane, wile of John Holland of Ih'ewood Hall, by whom slu^ had issue Fowke, obt. s.p., liichard oi' Shrewsbury, vol.. \ 1. n 10 DONINGTON CnURCIT AND LORDSIITP. and Jane. Brewood Hall was sold by Phineas Hussey in 17G6 to a gentleman named Plymnley. Phineas Powke was the last heir male (^fhis family, and died withont issue 1705. He had married in Sarah, daughter of Sir Vincent Corhet, Part., by Sarah, daugliter and co-heii" of Sir Pobert Monson, of Carlton, Co. Lincoln (subsequently created 1G79, Vicountess Corbet of Linchlade, Co. Pucks.) ^Frs. Fowke died in 1G86 aged 32. The youngest sister of Phineas Fowke married Pobert Huntbach of Wolverhampton, gentle- man, and their dauo-hter was mother of Sir Samuel Hellier of Woodhouse near Womboiu'ne, Kt. Of the otlier sisters (wl io of course became co-heirs, in blood, upon the death of Phineas Fowke), Martha married C. Farrer, and Sarafi, Edward Cook, while Sybil married Joseph Hussey of London, and was mother of Fowke Hussey, wdio succeeded to the Wyrley Grove estate, and was living there in 1714. He married Elizabeth, daughter of William Jesson of Lichfield, and had issue, Phineas, Fowke, Joseph living in 1794, Pichard and Sibil. Of these Phineas succeeded to Little Wyrley, but died without issue. Picliard, who was of Wolver- hampton, died 23rd October, 1774, aged 52, having married Anne Beckett, by whom he left issue, two sons, William and Phineas, who succeeded to Wyrley Grove in 1799, by the Will of his uncle. He married, lirstly, Francis (or ]\Tary) Fowler, without issue, and secondly, 24th September, 1814, Sophia, eldest daughter of George Piay, by whom he left a daughter, Fainiy So])hia, wife of Edward Kelaart, M.D., and a son, Phineas Fowke, who succeeded him, and by his wife, h^lizabeth Clemen- tina, daughter of Archibald Nisbet Carmichael of lulin- burgh, had issue two daughters, Emma and l^^lizabeth, the former of whoni died young, leaving her sister re|)resentative of the family. Wyrley Grove is a very interesting old iManor llous(\ in tlie neighbourhood of ^V[llsall, of ])iiek and stone, and the Husseys owned ( wo-thirds ot Norton (^mes. There were, howe\'er, other branches of the Fo\\ke DONINGTON CnURCH AND LORDSHIP. 11 fuiuily, William Fowke of Cannock, Co. Stafford, gentle- man, wlio was living in the time of George II., left issue, Joseph, born 1748, George, born 1752, Anne, who (lied in 1746, Ellen, bprn in 1754, and Anne in 17G4. And also in this neighbourhood may be mentioned William Fowke of Tettenhall (a younger brother of Roger of Gunston) Gerard of Batcliacre, a Captain under Charles I., who left issue, and Francis of Long- birch, in the parish of Codsall. The nearest relative of the Fowkes in modern times connected with this parish was Catherine, wife of George, late Lord of the Manor, who told the writer she had frequently stayed with her relatives at Wyrley Grove when young, which was confirmed by her sister. Between two of the windows on the south side of the nave is a gothic tablet with the following inscrip- tion : — Siicrod to the memory of John Bisliton of Kilsah in this Parish Esquire who died Aug IX. Mi)CCC YI. aged 71 years And of l]etty his wife wlio died June 1 1805 aged 59 years. This tablet is erected by their aii'ectionate daughter Lucy i>otfield. Under the gallery previously mentioned, and upon the north part of the west wall of the nave is a tablet of white marble upon black. Above the inscription are the following heraldic insignia : Arms, arg. a bend l)etween G bees .sa. Crest, out of a castle or an arm in nruiour, proper, end)Owed, brandishing a sword of the last, hilted of the first. In the family vault westward of the tower lie the remains of AVilliam lioi:>er IHsliton the second son of Ivoger Bishton of Kilsall in this Parish J*]squire who departed this life Oct 25 in t lie year 1805 aged 32 His widow Klizabeth l)ishton died in London on the 11^'' of June 1842 and is buried in the Cemetery at Kensall Green. They left one daughter Aiuie (wife of Ardcu Addcrley L]sn'" (^a])taiu li N) and two sons tlohn and William to lament llxiir loss. Tlu^ Imsbaiid of ]\liss J>ishton was the third son of TLil})h Adderley of C'olon, ami Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Kynnersley of Loxley, Co. Staflord. The Cotrn 12 DONIXGTON CilURCII AND LORDSHIP. estate had been purchased in 1558 by Tlalpli Adderley, SherilY of Stalfordsliire in the 17th year of the reign of Queen EHzabeth. On a tablet on the soutli wall of tlie nave is the following inscription upon a white ornamental slab surmounting a grey one : — Sacrod to the memory of William JcUicorse Esquire late of Howie in this County who died Dee'' '2[) 1^:]2 aged j^cars. Upon the west wall is a tablet with the following : — In memory of Josepli Dale horn A 1) 17SG Tlic beloved Curate of Do'nington from A 1) LSI I to AD LS49 Died Viear of Jjolney in Sussex A D ISOO. These are (or rather were some years ago when the writer knew that neighbourhood) all the monimiental inscriptions in the Churcli of Donington, and are valuable as ailbrdi ng a remembrance of some families who have now passed away, at least from that vicinity. Some of them will be mentioned in the modern history of Donington, and it woidd be, therefore, superfluous to say more of them here, nor is there space to enter upon a fuller account of the monumental inscriptions upon tombstones in the churchyard, wdiich is very full on the south side around the remains of the old churchyard cross. Some of the principal families, however, have their vaults upon the north side of the church, where is a large one belonging to the Bishtons, containing numerous members of that ancient family, and also some of the Dales, the whole surrouiuled by a lofty iron railing with gates. Within the enclosure are stones with commemorative inscriptions. This ])lace ol* sepulture adjoins the east wall of tlie churchyard. A little further to the west is another large vault marked by a low Avail with coping, this belongs to the ])resent owners of Donington, and (contains tlu> bodies of the late Ceorgo ,Ion{\s, (!a(heriiu^ his wife, Ann(\ wile ol liis oidy son, and (icorgc. ofMilloii Maiio:-, Co.

By his wife, Anne, daugliter of Peter VenaljJes, Baron Kinder- ton, this Francis Leveson Fowder left issue a sole daughter and heir, Frances, wife, firstly of Thomas Needliani, Viscount Kilniorey, and secondly of Tlieo- })hilus Hastings, Earl of Huntingdon. James Leveson of Wolverhampton, mei-chant of the Staple, and brother of Nicholas, married twice.

There may, liowcver, have been an earher connection between this family and Donington - since (here is an entry of the baptism of ^^fary, daughter of Richard Chapman of Cosford, gentleman, and Mary, his wife, on the 2Stli May, 1G20. He died in 1607, and hcsides his successor there is an entry of Joan, daughter of John Cha|)man of Donington, clerk, married at l,\mington '28th April, 1587, and buried 18th October, 1{)37. She was the wife of William Southall of Hcamish Hall, yeoman, afterwards called gentleman, son of George or Hemy Southall of Beamish Hall, yeoman, and by him was mother of John, Mary, Susan, William, Thomasine, James, and Elizabeth, wife of Walter Swayne. James married Anne, and had issue Frances. John Southall of Beamish Hall, gentleman, is mentioned as father, by Dorothy his wife, of Edward baptized 1G35, Jane baptized 1G38, Thomas baptized 1040, and Margaret baptized 1G12, and upon looking at tlie Pedigree of the family of Deane of Woodhall, in the parish of Codsall, we find the following : — Eichard Deane of Codsall Wood, married Joyce, daughter of Ivalph Brooke of Blacklands and Elizabeth his wife, daughter and heir of Thomas Butler, and had issue with others, Edward, who married Frances, daughter • 4' i\lichael Moseley of the Mere near Walsall, and by her left two co-heirs, the second of whom, Dorothea, married Southall of Beamish Hall, while the elder, Mary, married Aloxaiidei- l^(M\schouse of Shrewsbury, and had issue, I'M ward Bershouse of Woodhall, ci3t 88, April 8 th, IGGLl, who married Joan, daughter of Thomas Eowke of ih-ewood. The above Biali)h Brooke, accordinc: to the family pedigree, as given in Harln. MSS. 139G, was a younger son of John Brooke of Bobbington, by the daughter of Butler of Bewsey, Co. Lancaster, son of Thomas l]rooke of Claverley, Co. Salop, and Margaret, daughter of llichard Si)icer of Claverley. 'I'his Johu llrooke of l>obbington is now represented by the faiuily ol l>rooke of llaughton Ifall, uear Shillnall, while his elder brother, Saher, was ancestor ol' the ilunily of '20 DONINCTON CIIURCII AND LORDSHIP. lU-ookc seiited at Madeley Court, Shropshire. Michael Mcseley Avas third son of Nicholas Moseley of the Mere, and besides his dangliters, Frances and Eleanor, had a son Nicliohis, wlio succeeded liini, and married Susan, dau<^liter of Jolui Fowke of Gunston, in tlic })arisfi of Codsall, and no great distance from lieamisli, whose son Walter nun'ried, firstly, Dorothy, daughter of lUchard Cresswell of the l^)arnhvu-st Manor House, in the parish of T(^lt(Mihall. There is also a William, son of John Southall of iJeamish ]lall, and Joyce, his wife, men- tioned in 1G32, and AVilHam Southall, 25th April, 1G81, who married Elizabeth Itopur. It is evident, therefore, that the Chapmans became well connected in the neigh- bourhood. John Chapman, junior, succeeded at his father s death to the llectory, but lighted upon the days,'' as a modern author expresses it, " when the liberties of Eng- land struggled to the light." Apparently the liberty of England was inconsistent with Mr. Chapman's re- taining his Eectory, and for four years he was thrust out, and an intruder, George Eyves (or Reeves) placed in the Rectory by Edmund Waring, who had taken possession of the old Hall at Humphreston to the ex- clusion of the righti'ul possessors, such was the liberty which the Parliamentarians granted to others when they had the power in their own hands. At the liestoration Geo. liyves or Reeves quitted the Rectory, and Mr. Chapman was to have returned, but he died on the 2nd December, IGGO, and was buried in Al- brio'hton Church on the 4tli of the same month. Mr. Chapman had been presented by Sir Wm. Leveson. John Fisher was presented by Frances Leveson Fowler in 1GG2. lie was a ]\Iaster of Arts of Queen's College, Oxford, and retained the living until his death, which took place in 1G81) or 1G90. (jleorgo Plaxton was [)resented to Donington Eectory by Sir William Leveson-Gower in IGDO. Jle had been previously Yicar of Sherilf Ihdes, and held Ivinnersley and Donington at the same time. His account of the DONINGTON CHURCH AND LORDSHIP. 21 Taiisli sent by Ealpli Thoresby to Dr. Hans Sloane, H.S. Secretary, may be interesting: — As to my licctory of Donington to wLicli I was presented A*' 1()1)0 I found there as many old people as I did at Kinardsoy nav, I may say more, and in y" two Parishes I had but a dil'lercnce of three in the number of tlic people At Kinardsey 1 had lo5 souls at Donington loS of ye 1*35 I had 2-*J aged GO and upwards, of y" 138, 2^ botli which numbers multiplied by (» yo one at Kinardsey was 132 ye other at Donington would have been 144. I had nothing very remarkable at Donington save y^ Jioyal Oak wliich stood at Doscobel within ye Parish and ye owners tliereof paid (]^ G'' yearly in lieu of their tithes and offerings. The Koyal Oak was a fair s[)rcad tliriving tree yc boughs of it were ail lined and covered with ivy. Here in y' thick of these boughs y° King sate in tlie daytime with L'olonel Carles and in the night lodged at Boscobell House, so that they are strangely mistaken who judged it an ohl hollow oak whereas it was a gay and flourishing tree surrounded with a great many more and as I remember in Mr. Evelyn's History of medals you have one of King James I. or King Charles I. where there is a lair spread oak with this Epigraph — Serin nepotlbus ambva — which 1 kave to your thoughts. The people here live to a great age. I saw in one house three healthful people wdiose ages numbered togetlier made 278 and 1 think they lived some years after, they were ye man and his wife and liis wife's Jirother. I was at Donington about 18 years and some months, in all that time I buried but 27 people of which number four came from neighbouring parishes 4 were young ones and of the remaining IIJ ye youngest was about GO and ye eldest OG. I was there ye 4"' legal Incumbent in suc- cession from the lief ormat ion and as I remember at one triennial A^isitation of y" liishop we had neither J^urial nor Wedding to return into y" iiegistry at Litchlield. The Country is very healthful in those parts and tho' it seems to ye eye of a traveller to be but of a moderate lieight yet in riding between Donington and Wolverhampton wliich is but o miles you cross 4 rills or Brooks in ye compass of 8 miles 2 of which run into y'' South West Seas viz to Severn and Bristol y(; other two hasten to Trent and Ilumber and so on into ye Northern Ocean. From anotlicr place we find tKat the a^xul jxtsoiis to wiioni Mr. IMaxtoii alludes were Jlenry (Jylos iVl, 2()tli May urn, Judith (^lykNS 1)3 and (Jrillm Torry 1)7 who 22 DONINGTON CHURCH AND LORDSHIP. at that date rosided together in one liouse at the Whiteladies. Henry Gyles died in the year 1691. George Plaxton, who was a member of St. John's Coll, Cambridge, was inducted into the Ilectory of Donington on the 12tli of August, IGOO; the l^ev. Wilham Scott, H.I)., Vicar of Albi-igliton, and fellow of Sydney College, Cambridge, olHciating upon the occasion. Since the two parishes are so much connected a list of the Vicars may be of service — VICARS OF ALJJRIGHTON.

At his death he left nine children. Since, however, we shall meet with the family again wlien speaking of Cosford, it is not necessary to say more here. While Mr. Plaxton was Kector, we have a case occur- ing in Donington under an Act of Parliament jxissed to compel people to bury the dead in llannel, which, it was supposed, would be advantageous to the wool trade. Edward Eevell had been buried at the ^Vlliteladies in linen, contrary to tlie law, whei'euj)on proceedings were taken against his excnnitois, and they W('r(^, ordered to ])ay .00 shillings for this delin(pien('y. At the General (Jiiarter Sessions, held in Sinew sl»ury ]r)tli January, IGD'l, the above sum so obtainiMl was ordered to be PONIXGTON CHURCH AND LORDSHIP. 23 handed over for distibutioii among the poor of Doning- t()ii, whicli was accordingly done. It seems certain lliat at this time the owner of Cosford paid tithes to the Hector of Donington, since Mr. Plaxton says that he came to an agreement with Mr. Staunyer (Stanier) of Cosford upon that matter in 1097, 2")0ssibly oidy with respect to part of that estate. The Staniers, wiiose name was formerly written Stonyer, came from Staiford- slih'o. Blakeway, in his Sho'i/Js of SIuv^jsJlu'c, says — • " John Stanier first came into Slu'opshire " (i.e. from llnrst, in the parish of Biddulph, ( .^o. Stafford) " as sn[)crint(Midcnt of tlie great estates of Francis (Newport) Karl of Bradford." He married the daughter of Ilobert Allestree of Uppington, who had formerly served the Newports in the same capacity. eTohn Stanier of Cos- lord Grange was his grandson, and married Elizabeth (codieir of her brother, wlio was Sheriff of Slu'opsliire in 1 72G), eldest daughter of Pdchard Leighton of Leighton, Sherirf of Shropshire in 1G95, by the daughter of Anthony, younger son of Thomas Kinnersley of Badger. This family of Kinnersley is a very ancient one in the county of Stafford. John Kijmersley of Loxley, in that county, who predeceased his father, Avas the first hus- band of Dorothy, born 1508, daughter and heir of Henry Petit of Badger (obt 21 Henry YIL), by Dorothy, daughter of Humj)l rcy Wolrych of Dud- jiiaston, son of John Petit (obt. 18 Henry VI h), by Agnes, daughter and co-heir of Pdchard Groneham of Co. Cambridge, son of Pichard l^etit, by Alice. Lady of Badger, daughter and heir of AVilliam Coleston, by Ali(;(\ his wile (obt. K)98), Lady of Ixulger, daughter and heir of John de liagsore, or Badgci* (obt. 40 Edward III.), by Alice Yonge, who \\as son of Thomas do Bagsore, or Badger. ])oi-othy (noe Petit ), the heiress ul' iladgiM', married secondly Thomas Nowc^ll of JVlsall, Co. Slallord. Ainie i\ iniu^rsley, a, danglit er (jf Dorol hy's by 1km- fn'st husband, was wiCe of |[um])hrey Cotton of Bold, a second son of Picluu-d (vV)tton of Pidwaiv, and their daughter^ Margaret, married Stephen Warner of 24 PONINCTON CHURCH AND LORDSHIP. Bronishall, whose son, Henry, was father of Jane, wife of George ]\Iidtlleniore, whose son, another George, by Frances, daughter and heir (llarhi. MS., 15GG) of Kobert Stanford of Perry Hall, had twenty-two children, the eldest of whom, Frances, was wife of Francis Wolfres- ton of Statfold, and motlier of three sons and three daughters, of whom Anne married, in 1GG2, ' Edward Arblaster, and was so mother of Edward, who married ]\Iary Littleton. It is perhaps worthy of remark that Anne has been called dauo-hter and sole heir of Francis o Wolfreston ; and indeed there was Anne, daughter of Francis and Hester Wolfrestan, who \\'lis wife of Sir Jolni Eo'erton of Wrinehill. This xVnne was born 21st November, 1G73, baptized 30th of the same month at Statfold, married to Sir John Egerton 14th June, 1703, and died 12tli April, 172G, and devised her estates to Edward, her husband's third son by anotlier wife, lylward Arblaster, who married Anne Wolfreston, died 28th March, 1G90, and since Sir John Egerton was living in 1G24, it is impossible this Anne could have been the wife of the aforesaid Edward. But to re- turn to John Stanier, who seems from the alliance he formed and the fact that his son, Ivi chard Stanier of St. James's, Bridgenorth, served the oiiice of Sheriff of the county in 1740, to have been a person of wealth and position. Mr. Plaxton, who, it will be remembered, was inducted into the living of Donington by the son and heir of Mr. Scott of Cosford in 1G90, came to an Dgreemcnt with Mr. Stanier, then owner of Cosford, in 1G97, from which it w^ould not appear unreasonable to conclude that that estate clianged ownei's between those two dates, passing from the Scotts to the Staniers. We are indebted to Mi\ Plaxton for some very copious notes made in the l)ooks of Registers in Don- ington, which have been contiiuied by others. 41ie Kogisters themselves begin iji 155(). On the r)tli and Gtli of Februarv, 1700, Donino'ton and tlie ncM'ulibour- liood was visited by amost\iolent storm, blowing iVom the west and north-west ; tlicre was also another stoim DONINGTON CHURCH AND LORDSHIP. 25 of the same character at Cliristuias, in the next year, l)ut the former did cfrcat mischief, blowino: down two harns at the llcctory, \vliilo at Pcp|' invited topivucli a cor[)oration sermon at J>>^ewcastle-under-Line, where a butL-hcr, wliose Vvil'e had not the l)est reputation possible for iidefity, liad l)een m:ide i*ayriif, lie thus alhided to the circumstance.

George Luti, i\LA., the successor of Ttobert Fowler, was Hector oF Donington in 1771, wlicii the connnoji lands were enclosed hy Act ot i^irliaincnt. A great part of the tiihes which belonged to the liectory were exonerated, and in tlieir place the glebe received con- biderable additions. Two of the principal landowners uf the parish, however, Jellicorso of Doiiington and AFr. Yates of Donington AVood, would not agree to ap- propriate lands to the licctor in lieu of their tithes, so their estates still remained titheable. The aniuunt of land ap]:)ortioned to the liectory u])on the enclosure of Kilsall (^onnnon \A'as 200 acres. This nurst have formed one of the greatest events of modern times in the parish and, as is e\ ident, did not tak'e place without some coji- tention, Avhich may hav^e caused the resignation of the liector ui 1773. His son, John Martin JJutt, aged 18, was admitted at Christ Chiu'uh, Oxfurd, in 17 1)2. John GhappelWoodhouse, M.A., succeeded, and seems to have been an active clergyman in improving his living. The liectory House was described as an old and irrepailar buildini'-, but larr-'c and commodious, ^>ituated in the south-east angle of the churchyard, near the bank of Albrighton Hall Pool, on the edge uf which it has a ])leasant shrubbery, and walk round a lawn in the north front of the liouse. The new liector built a fu'm house on tlio lands lately actpiired under the Enclosui e xVct, and named it (Jhappel House, which it still retains; he also built the coarhdionse and 1 wo- sialled .".table, and wlicre foi'inerly tlicro had been a. barn and Ibldyard h.e inade a ';ai'(k'ii, w hich lu* enclosed \\ ith a ^\all.

A conliagration took place at Chappel House at 10 o'clock p.m. on August 4th 17b5, when a rano-e of barns and stablinii; were struck by li^-litninfr and burnt down ; they were, howe\'er, rebuilt the same year at a cost of X'150. Alteratioiis also took place in the Cluu'cli. In 1731 it wiis ceiled, having before that date been open to the tiles. Tiie Chancel Arcli was also made wider. This, probably, was no great im- provement to the benuty of the Church, since it would destroy the character of the building, and probably accounts for the a^^'k^vard appearance of the arch as it existed in later years. In 1787 the Porch, which formerly existed upon the south side of the Church, was taken down, and in place of the entrance on that side a new entrance was made under the Tower. This neces- sitated a redistribution of the pews, or at least some alteration in the w-iy iu which they had been allotted. Next year (i.e. 1788) three new windows were made upon the south side of the Church, and the pul[)it (which bears date IGl 8) and reading desk were removed from the north to the south side. We are told that " at the same time the Church was all newly pewed, and other repairs completed ; " doubtlessly the high pews on the south side were then erected. It is evident that the old Church of Doni no-ton must have presented a very different appearance from tlie ]n-esent one, since there was no west door, and on the south was a ])orch, through ^vhich was the principal enti'aiice for the laity. ()n the north side were three windows walled up, and on the south probably two windows and the door. The character of these windows maybe known from the original ones which exist in tlie chancel, and iu one of wlucli may still bo seen, in btainod glass, tlie two coals of ai'nis mentioned by Dngdale wlu n he visited this chnrcli on 'Jnd ol* Sepleniber, viz.,-— 1.

Li the writs of 5 Edward IL he is de- nominated a Ijaron, and, dying in the 15th year of the same monarch's reign, was succeeded by his son, John, who, dying shortly after the 8th year of Edward lIL's reign, left his three sisters co-heirs, of whom Joan was wife of Itobert, Lord Eitzwalter. Elizabeth apparently married twice, for she is called wife of Walter de Lermingham and also of Itobert, son of John de Haring- tun, or Haverino'ton. The third dauo-hter, Maro-aret, was wife of Thumas de Lucie.

By the aid of the insci'iptions on monuments and the parochial registers the latter part of the succession of this family in the Lordshi[) of Donington may be obtained. John Lishton of Kilsall, l)orn 1735, and Betty, his wife, ap- parently had issue Iloger Bishton of Kilsall, who had issue at least two sons, the elder of whom, John, left an only daughter, mother ot the [)resent llev. W. Garnett Botheld of Deckei- Hill, who is therefore one of the representatives of this family in the neighbourhood. The second son, AV^illiam Ptoger, was buried at Doning- ton in 1805, leaving by Elizabeth, his wife (who is buried at Kensall Green Cemetery, near London), a daughter, Anne, wife of Ca})tain Adderley, and two sons, John and William. By an inspection of the j)edigree of Bottield it is evident also that rlohn Bishton of Kilsall had a dauMiter, Lucy, married 14th January, 1704, to William Bot- iield of Becker Hill, iiear Shilfiiall, but they died without issiui.

Snhsequently they out- stopped the boundaries of this parish, and, by the pui'- chase of the lluckley Grange Estate from Moreton A. Slaney by Thomas Bishton, acquired land in Tong and Shitlnall. Nor must it be forgotten that to this family are owing the mansion houses of Neachill, Neachley, and liuckley, as Avell as a considerable portion of that ven- erable and interesting old sti'ucture, Kilsall Hall, so (hat (heir inlluence nuist be regarded as very licnehcial to the parish, since they settled down upon their estates, and spent their wealth in improving them. At the same time we must remember that the Government (if that day did more to make the position of a gentle- man in his own estates pleasant and useful, so that there was l(;ss danu'er of " absenteeism " than wheAi all the principal business of a country is draw^n up to the (•aj)ital, and the amusements and j)leasures of a, country life are curtailed, while instead oi* hai-mony a. ieeling of hostility is engendered between dilierent classes of the conmuuiity.

The road then passed throuLj'h what is now a i)art of Ton<>- Park, and is marked by a depression in the ground oil the south side of the liectory and Church, over which the drive to Tong Castle })asses by means of a slight embankment, then across the j)resent Church J^ool, at that time a stream, alter which its direction is sulliciently demonstrated by the inequalities of the surface. ^ It would ;ii)|)c:ir tliat this Comuion or ITcath \v:is soinotiuics the scene of evil deeds, since there is oii record in the 8rd year of ()ueen Anne, a trial wherein John Fox, son and licir of Tlmnias Fox lute of Muxli)n, Co.

The Tong Estate with its fine old (iistle had passed in 17G0 from the l^ierpoiiits, I )iikes of Kingston, to tlie family of Duraiit of Woreester- .^liii'e. Somewhat later, AVeston, tlie okl home of the \Vjll)r;dia.ms, ]\Iyttons, and Newports, became tlie seat of the Bridgeman family, from Oastle Broinwieh, Co. Warwick. In 1785 the Manoi' of Shilfnall had passed lo the rFerniiighains of Noriblk, while on another (piarlei' the AsUeys no longei' llourished at ratshull, but had given way to the Bigots.

There is no public house in the pnrish." Tiie remaining portion of the old Sprencheaux Estate centres round what is called the i\Iaiior House and Shackerley. The J'ormer is a substantial building, of about Queen Anne's time, now occuj^iied as the residence uf a a'ontleman farmer, but near it is still standing' in a garden an ancient building of wood and brick, in part perhaps of wattle and ])laster, wuth tiled roof, now con- verted into two cottages. This is traditionally, and ])robably truly, said to be the old Manor House of Donington, or at least part of it, and was the residence of the family of Jellicorse, or Jellico, who were also owners of Shackerley, which they fitted up as a residence. There is no villao-e at Donington, but near the Manor FTouse is a Ions: straofodino- kind of hamlet called Hio-h llolborn, leading up to Donington Wood, and here there seem to have been various interests at the bea'innino: of the present century, since two cottages and gardens in High Holborn are mentioned as having l)een purchased from William Farmer,, tlie elder, and William Turner, the younger, while the old INTanor House seems at that lime (o have been in ])ossession of W illiam J^icken, from whom it passed to the fann'ly of the pi-esent Lords of the J\lanor.

In July, 1703, Hill settled these lands upon his sister, ]\Iargaret Harwood, from whom they have descended to the ])resent Lord Berwick, dower's lands mentioned in the Act are a farm called Selly Hall, and a moiety of the Manor ot Temple Lawne, near Worcester.

William Jones of Chiltor , the father of this John, had married the sister of Major Gibbons, whose mother was a daughter of Save du Garde, Rector of Forton, near Newport, an 1 sometime Fellow of Trinity College, Oxou. He was buried at Forton 10th April, 1G97. George Jones had married in 1302, at Bilston, Catherine, boin 13tli July, 1775. eldest daughter and (by the death of her brotliers without issue) heir of Daniel Turner of the Brownhills, near Walsall, son of Henry Turner and Catherine, tlie elder dauii-hter and co-heir of Thomas Jordan of Birmingham and Catherine Lea of Hales Owen, Co. Salop, his wife, who was related to the Wards of Hirnley. The Jordans came from Dunsley, in the Parish of Kinver. While still young, George Jones had suffered severely from the ill conduct of a gentleman who had defrauded liim of a very large sum of money, and his behaviour upon that occasion was so noble that it excited the admiration of all who knew him, and a liandsomc silver cup was presented to him as a mark of sympatliy and esteem. However, his liealth gave way under tlie trial, and he was obliged to pass a long time at Bath, then a very fashionable watering-place, in the hands of the best physicians, and though he recovered his general health, yet for tlie future was obliged to lead a quiet and retired life. Shackerley was formerly very ditfe rent from what it is now, there being a space of open common land called Shackerley Green, with a few cottages upon it, and, according to some, Edmuud Waring of Humphreston Hall, in the latter part of his life, was accustomed to spend his evenings at an obscure old ale house at Shackerley Green, having to pass over a tottering bridge of a single plank on his w;i} thither, and was one morn- ing found drowned in the brook. 'J'bis cniss path still exists, and an ccpially crude bridge, but it leads only to Sydnall Lane, Sliackerlcy Green having been thrown into the lawn of Sliackerley Hall, and its jdace ordy DONINGTON CHURCH AND LOKDSHn\ 51 iiKirked by some pear trees wliicli still flourish there, or ;ii least did so some years ago. The Shackerley and |)oniiigtoii estate is l3oiinded on the east by those of Hoscobel and Donmgton Wood. Before, however, quit- liiig the former it may be noticed that there are in the valley at the back of the house some very curious marks ui- undulations in the surface of the soil, and in- one j)lace a circular portion of ground surrounded by a ditch or indentation. We nuist now say something of the ecclesiastical lands in Donington, which comprise Boscobel, Donington Wood, and Cosford. The first of these liad, as is well known, a house built by the Giffards, nominally as a hunting lodge, really as a hiding place for priests when it was forbidden by law for any priest to enter England, nnd saying Mass was a capital offence, and hence it contained secret places little likely to be disttn'bed, which, as we know, the loyalty of its possessor put to a somewhat different purpose from what was originally intended. Most houses of the Catholic gentry had their hiding ])laces. Hindlip Hall, near Worcester, the seat of the Albrighton family, was cons[)icuous in this res- pect. The name Boscobel is curious, and according to tradition was given to it by Sir Basil Ihooke of Madeley Court, whom Mr. Gihard had invited to be present at the rejoicings consecpient upon the completion of the new house. When the cjuestion was asked, what name should ])e given to the place. Sir Basil, who had lately returned from Italy, suggested in the langtiage of that country that it should be named, from the beautiful woods in which it was embosomed, and so the name of Hoscobel arose. Donington Wood, a farm which, since the time of the civil war, has been in the occupation or possession of a family named Yates, joins on one side the Dairy House, a small farm of the Giflards' (pur- chased '2nd July, 18(;;5, by Mv. Yates of the Wood), and on the otlu^r, the Whitcladies estate, which was a j)e)SScssion of lulward (Jilfii'd, who is calKnl a >ounger sun of Sir 'i'homas (uilard of Ciiillinglon, Ijy Ursula, 52 DONINGTON CHUllCH AND LORDSHIP. dauo-litci* of Sir Tliomas Tliroo-morton of Couo-liton, and lieir of her motlier, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Baynhani of (^Jarewell, Co. Gloucester. Sir Thomas Gitiard was son of Sir John Gifl'ard, by liis second wife, Ehzabeth Greysley. It was tliis Sir John to whom Henry YIIl. gave the dissolved monastery of the Black- ladies, which is still in the family. He was the son of Ilobert Giffard, ])y his second wife, Cassandra, daughter of Thomas HumjJu-eston of ilumphreston Hall. How- ever, a comparison of dates seems to show that the above Edward GilVard amis rather a younger son of John Giffard of Chillington (son of Sir Thomas and Ursula), by Joyce, his wife, daughter of James Ijcveson of Lil- leshall. The following extract from the narrative of the escape of Charles H, after the battle of Worcester, is very pertinent to our subject. Richard Penderel conducted the King cue at a back dore (i.e. of Whiteladies House) unknown to most of the company and carried liim into an adjacent wood belonging to Boscobel called Spring Coppice about half a mile from White- ladies By that time Richard Penderel had conveyed him into tlie obscurest part of it, it was sim rising on Thursday morning and the lieavens wept bitterly at these calamities in- somuch as the thickest tree in the wood was not able to keej) his Ahijcsty dry nor was there anything to sit on. Wherefore Richard went to Francis Yates' house (a trusty neighbour who married his ^vife's sister) where he borrowed a blanket which he folded and laid on the ground under a tree for his ]\Lajesty to sit on. At t\m sauie time Richard spoke to the goodwite Yates to provide some victuals and bring it into the wood at a place he aj)[)ointed her. She presently made ready a mess of milk and -some butter and eggs and brought them to his j\hij(!Sty in the Wood ; who being a little sur[)i-iscd to see the woman (no good concealer of a secret) said chearfuUy to her " Good woman, can you bo faithful to a distressed cavalier." She answered "Yes, Sir, 1 will die rather than discover you," with which answer his Majesty was satisfied. The Whiteladies and Boscobel Estate subsequently came into the possession of John (\)tton of Geddiug Abbots, Co. Huntingdon, descended fi'om a younger DOXINGTOX CHURCH AX1> LOliDSHlP. 53 hrancli of Cotton of llidware, Co. Staiford (Harlii. MS., I i7l)), with whose daughter and heir, Jane, it passed in marriage to JBasil Fitzherbert, elde.st son of ^Vilhani Fitzherbert of Swynnerton and Anne, his wife, daugh- ter of Sir Basil Brooke of Madeley, Co. Salop. It may lie remarked that Basil Fitzherbert's sister, Mary, was wife of John Gower of Colmeis, Co. Worcester, previously mentioned. The Fitzherberts were ow^ners of the Boscobel Estate for several generations until it was sold, with the exce})tion of the ruins of the Convent Chapel of the Whiteladies, and thus came into the pos- session of the family of Evans of Darley Dale, Co. Derby. The Misses Evans are the })resent proprietors, l)ut tlie ruins of the Chapel are inider the care of the lloman (^atholic Bishop of Shrewsbury, and have during many years been used for interments of members of that faith, many of whom linger in tlie neighbourhood. Cosford, the third Ecclesiastical Estate in the parish of Donington, was at an early period called Gospelford, and became a possession, like its neighboiu's Buckley and Ilatton, of Buildwas Abbey. But it is evident that some interest in it still remained to the Lord of Albrio^h- o ton, since Ptichard de Pichford, Lord of that Manor, granted to the Peligious all tlie services due in respect of it from Richard Cressett, which was conlirmed by llichard Coeur de Lion in 1189. It is curious that even down to the time of the dissolution of monasteries we hnd this family of Cressett maintaining and exer- cising rights connected with the lands of this Abbey. It has been shown that the Lords of Donington had interests in U])ton Cressett and Meadowley, which adjoins it, and it is evident from the abuxe that the Cressetts had interests in Donington, though it ma}^ 1)0 difficult to trace out exactly what they were. At the dissolution Gosford followed the fate of the other estates of Buildwas Abbey, and became the j)roperty of the Grey family. Lords Powis (of whom more niay be seen in the 7Vtf/^s•(a7/^;/^.s of the Society for 187*.), and also in the Moniijoincnjshirc Collect luiis).

Blakeway observes: — This information is contained in letters patent under the great seal of King James, I9th March, 21 llegni (1623-24), and, therefore, must be su[)posed to be correct; yet it is quite inconsistent with our IWonages, and even with more authentic documents. This Lady Powys was Jane Orwell, otlierwise, Kempe, mother of the illegitimate children of the last Lord Grey de Powys.

Having thus completed our account of the ecclesi- astical property in the parish we must turn our attention to a Manor which is intimately connected with its his- tory, and the Lords of which are as important as those ot Donington itself The name of Humphreston, of Saxon origin, seems taken from some early possessor, and it is not improbable that in the de Humphrestons we have a Saxon family continuing in their old 3Ianor, but adopting the Norman prefix.

It may also be worthy of notice that a connection previously existed between the lamilies of P)lount and Adams, for Edw^ard, the second son of Sir Thomas Bloiuit of Kinlet and Anne, or Agnes, Crofts of Herefordshire, married Joane, sole daughter and heir of John Carne, son of Howel Carne of Cowbridge, in South Wales, by Sibil, daughter of William Kemeys of Newj)ort, Ca).

There is in the College of Arms, as previously stated, a very incorrect account of a portion of the descent of this family, apparently hastily jotted down with the wrong arms, but fortunately the grandson of this vSarali (Mr. Aston) has left us a more relicdjle account. From their numerous alliances, even to a comparatively late [)eriod, with recusant liimihes, we might reasonably conclude that tliey belonged to the lloman Catholic fiith. But we nuist return to Humph rest on which, it will be remembered, was in the hands of John de richford, possibly during a minority. Edward 1. was in that neighboiu'hood in the previous year, 1283, when a Parliament was held in the month of October at Acton Burnell. In 1292, however, John de Umfi'eyston was a juror for Brimstree Hundred, and his name occurs in 1321. This is the John Ilumphreston to whom John de Beaumeis granted a piece of land near Broadmeadow, and w4io was living as late as 1350 ; he seems to have married a dauo-hter of this John de Beaumeis, and left issue a daiighter (or grand-daughter) and heir, Margaret, Lady of I f mnphreston (l lhJ-3j, who carried the ]\la,nor to her husband, John de AVy]mes])ury. l]ut at the same time it nuist be remembered that thei-e Avere other niemb(!rs of the fnnily; since Boger do I huiVeslon was admitted to the Ilectory of Doningion 11th E(d)i-uaiT, 1350, and later in the same century Cassandra, daugh- ter of Thomas lTum])hr(^yston de 1 1 umplu'cston became the second wife of Bol.)ert Cilfard of (/hillington, and I I G4 DONTNCITON CETURCFI AND LORDRHIP. from licr descend all the subsequent Giffards of Chil- lini^'lon, siuce he had no issue by his first wife, Isabel P)louut. This Tlobcrt (Jiifard succeeded his father at Chillington in 1410. Cassandra seems to have been a favourite family name, since we meet with it again somewliat later, when Cassandra, daughter of William Humfreston, married Roger Fowke, grandwson of William Fowke of Brewood, who was living in 1430. The above Thomas Ilumphreston seems to have been a younger son, and father of William Humfreston, Esq., senior, who, with William Ilumphreston, Esq., junior, ap- parently his son, held the j\ranor in 1 182, having re- gained it either by right of reversion on the death of his cousiu, John Wynnesbury's wife, or in frank marriage with his sister. The latter of these William Hum- phrestons brings us nearly to the time of the Donington Ptegister, which begins in 155G, and where we have a record of Tliomas, son of William Ilumrreyston, born in 1558, and also of Thomas Ilumfreyson of Ilumphreyson, huricMl 1 550. There is also a I'ocord of William Humfres- ton of Humfreston, Esq., householder, who was buried 24th August, 1559, and his widow, Palzerin (query Catherine) married July, 1500, Thomas Cooper, son of Henry (Joo])er of Albrighton, Agricola.

It seems, how- ever, not improbable that Ehzabeth ITanbury was the daughter of Eichard, son of Sir liichard Ilussey. Sir Ilichard Hussey was sou of Edward ] fussey of Albright- llussey, by Fi-anccs, daughter of Edward Chamberlaine of Astley, Co. Warwick ; his first wife was a daugliter of Francis lUigeley of Staifordshire. Edward was the son of Ilichard Ilussey (who purchased the Norton and other large estates in Staifordshire from Francis Ptugeley, 20th February, 15G1-2), by his second wife, Ellena, heir of Thomas Oteley of Pichford, Co.

Blake way (vide Sho'ijfs of Sli /'oj^.-^Ji n-c) says he strongly suspects this family of AVaring to be descendants of Fitzwarin. The first of them, however, who appears connected with Shropshire was this Edmund (43 years old iri September, 1GG4), who is named among the Justices of the l^eace for that county in 1055, and was Sherifl' in 1G57. He was a virulent Ptoundhead, and was a[)pointed Governor of Shrew ^ibury in 1G59, in the August of which year he writes of an abortive attempt of the iioyalists to rise in Cheshire under Sir George I^ooth, Sir Thomas Myddel- ton of Chirk, and Lord Ivilmorey (Needham). So marked a man was he that he nari'owly esca})ed being- excepted from the Act of Grace. There is a tradition in the neiu'hbourhood that havinix been to a convivial meeting oi the Calf's Head Club at Albrighton (Blake way says at Shackerley Green), where the wine flowed somewhat too freely, he attem[)ted to return homo to Ilumphreston across the liclds, but tlie night being dark, the way slightly marked, and his own steps not very steady, he missed his looting and i'Al into the ILum- ])hreston Brook, at a place now covereil over by the railway, but named from him ^Lund's Hole."

Tliis estate had come from Margaret Broughton, wife of Sir Grutfudd Vaughan, who was treacheronsly be- headed by Henry Grey, Earl of Tankerville at Powys ( 'astle, after he had pledged his word for his safety. Sir Gruffudd Yaiighan (Yychan) had been instrumental ill taking Sir John Oldcastle, Bord Cobham, one of the leaders of the Lollards, wdio had been condemned as guilty of high treason and heresy. Sir Gruffudd was the descendant of Prince Broclnvel Yscvthroo- of Powis through Gwyn ab Gruffudd, Lord of Guilsfield. John Wynn, son of Pteginald of Garth, and grandson of Sir Grufiudd Vaughan, is said to have married Eva, daugh- ter of Davydd Lloyd ap Evan ab Gruffudd Yychan. John's mother was Alis, daughter of Gruffudd ab leuan Yychan of Abertanat, Esq., ab leuan Gethin ab Madoc Cythn. Amongst the issue of John \Yynn is Margaret, wife of Walter Hockleton of Ilockleton, Lucy, wife of lialpli Hanmer of Penley, and Jane, wife of Bobert ap John ab Cadwalader, who took the name of Broughton upon succeeding to the estate of Lower Broughton, near Bishop's Castle, and had issue, besides a daughter, wife of Thomas Lino-en of Whitton, wdiose dauo-hter and heir, Elizabeth, married Alexander Topp, two sons, of whom the second, Hugh, was a great Hebrew scholar, and from tliat circumstance called Babbi Brouo-hton.

He received from Queen Elizabeth some of the lands of tlie dissolved ]\ronastery of Chirbury, and was appointed Deputy Justice of Chester, in which capacity he was entertained by the ( corporation of Shrewsbury, 159G.

Ilobert Waring, however, found a great friend in Sir William Wliitmore of Apley, where he stayed for some time, and suljse(]uently travelled with him on the continent. ivobert Waring has left a, little work called " Amoris Eiligies," as a monument of his erudition and elegance of mind.

He was Sheriff of Montgomery- shire in 1724, .and the last who ow;ned Owlburv, w^hicli lie sold to Lord Powis. and removed into the neiaiiljoiu'- hood of London. From a branch of this family which settled at Potleraidt, in Ireland, Jane Waring, the "Varina" of Swift, is believed to have descended, liobert Waring", aiiother \uicle of Ednnu:id of Hnni- phreston, was seated at AVilsford, in Nottinghamshire, and his grand-daughter, Anne, A\^as wife of William Darwhi of Oleatham, wdiose grandson, Erasmus Darwin, was father of Ptobert Waring Darwin, M.D., living at Shrewsbury in 181^0. There is some danger oF a confusion between this family and one which was of Saxon lineage and seated at Woodcote, Onslow% c^c, near Shrewsbury, the repre- sentation of which finally vested in the Scotts of Shrews]:»ury.

There w^as a tradition at Humplireston that the last ol' the Warings signed aw^ay the old place in a l^gsty, where he was hiding to escape the King's ofHcers. It would appear, however (as all authorities agree), most probable that the elder daughter and co- heir, Elizabeth, born 1657, carried the property by marriage to tlie family of Colmore, who were the next possessors. Hannah, the younger co-heir, married on 7th November, 1G82, George Ashby of Quenby, Co. Leicester. In the pedigree of this family her father is called Major Ednunid Waring of Humplireston, Member of Parliament for Bridgenorth in 1 G 5 8 . George Ashby and his wife had issue three sons and four daugh- ters, viz., John, Edmund (father of George, President of St. John's College, Cambridge), Waring, Elizabeth, Marry, Hannah, and Anne. John, the eldest son, lived at the Lynches, near Shrewsbury, w^hicli, we are told, w^as liis mother's jointure, and had issue, by Hannah, \ his wife, Edmund Asld3y of the Lynches, who married his cousin, Elizabeth, daughter of William Ash of Paston, near Peterborough, by Hannah, his wife, daughter and co-heir of John Freeman and Elizabeth, eldest daughter of George Ashby and Hannah Waring. It may be worthy of notice that the above Elizabeth, wife of Edmund Ashby, had two sisters, Hannah, wife of William Jesson of Sutton Coldfield, and Mary, wife of Ilev. Ilichard Piland, Eector of Sutton Coldfield. Edmimd Ashby left issue two daughters co-heirs: 1. Elizabeth, wife of Pobert Hale, by Avhom she had four daughters co-heirs; and 2.

It bein^: the nidit of the 5th of November, the conflagration was less noticed, and con- sequently not checked so promptly as it might have been on days when bonfires were less prevalent. It has been previously mentioned that Lionel Cohnore had converted the Donington Farm into a residence, and after it had passed from Miss Cohnore into his hands, George Jones insisted upon his only son, John Jones, born 2nd April, 1805, coming to live there, with Anne, his wife, a lady of most kindly disposition towards the poor, born at Windsor 14th June, 1805, and brought up by her foster parents, in whose name she was bap- tized on the 7th Jtily in the same year, married 30th December, 1 82G. In the Registers of Donington Church appear the following records of their children born liere : — Iluth, born at Donington 2Ith June, 1839 ; Henry, born at Kilsall Hall 3rd January, 1841 ; and Henwayn, born at the same place 20th December, 1843. Before his death George Jones acquired the estates of Iiuckley, Piuckley Wood, and the Forge Pools, in the parishes of Tong and Shiffnall, which lie left to his son absolutely (after payment of certain settlements and legacies), together with a very large sum of ready money. After his death, however. Chancery suits were instituted to recover out of the entailed estates the amounts of money which should have been ])aid ac- cording to the above settlements. Hence in future times it might be inferred by those who I'ound records of these suits among the jjublic archives, that George Jones had left at his decease engagements without adecpiate means of fulfilling tlieni, a su|)[)ositiun not only erroneous but most unjust to the memory of this truly upright and high-minded man. George Jones endeavoured to the best of his power to provide for his VOL. VI. K ♦ 82 DONINGTON CHURCH AND LORDSHIP. descendants by entailing upon them most of his Shrop- shire estates, in pursuance of which plan he purchased from John Meeson the property of Albrighton Villa, and divided it between the Ilumphreston Hall and Beamish Hall properties, so that it practically disappeared as a separate estate and formed parts of three, others, a portion of the lands which went to Beamish being after- wards exchano^ed for others belonmnn^ to the Albriohton Hall estate, and there is extant an account of the sum of .i:i,633 paid by Mrs. Barker (of Albrighton Hall) as a surcharge in respect of these lands. From a late deed we iind that the land of Tluckley, which was among the properties left absolutely by George Jones to his son, and w^liich was afterwards his chief seat, were formerly in the occupation of Samuel Jones and Moreton Aglionby Slaney, afterwards of George Bishton, and late of John Bishton. However, most of the lands belonging to that estate which lay in the j)arish of ShiU'nal were formerly in the tenure or occupation of William l^.yke, Sir George Jcrningham, and Mary lioden, and afterwards of John Bishton, Other lands of the same property, lying on the Hatton side, were in the holding of Saunders Pepper and his undertenants, while Far Moor and Bulley Hill were in the occupation of Thomas Langley. Subsequently, however, the possession of all these lands centered in Pialph Harvey Leeke. Ji a digression may be pardoned concerning the above lands (which belong to Tong) and their possessors, it may be observed that there was a relationship between the above Moreton Aglionl)y Slaney and Sir (ileoigc Jcrningham in the following manner: — h^dnuuul Blow- den of Blowden Hall, Co.

To come somewhat later we have, on ]\rarcl) 22nd, 1805, an indenture between Francis Holyoake of Tettenhall, Co. Stafford, Esq., nephew and sole executor of the said Francis Holyoake, deceased, and William Tennant, sou of William Tennant, the younger. There is also an indenture of lease and release dated 2r)th ]\larcli, 1807, between the above WiUiam Tennant, kc, and Thomas Oatley of Bishton, Escp, and William Cou|)land of Shrewsbuiy, who afterwards convey lands to Walter Stubbs of Al brighten, 'i'here are also ii})on record a few further particulars of the Meeson property part of which was interchanged, as above related, with the late Mrs. Barker of Albrighton Hall, and from these we find that in 17G7 Thomas Meeson purchased lands from Stubbs, and ten years later (1777) he purchased others from Thomas Harper, while in 1781 there is a record of purchases by Thomas IMecson from Joseph Hill. In 1818 John JMeeson pui-chased Luids from Smith and others. Exchanges of property also took place with Wightwick, while the [)ortion added to the Hum- phreston estate is clearly defined as formei ly the estate of John Cook, and afterwards of Bichard Beynolds, by marriage with Miss (/ook, and lei't by him (o liis three da.ughteis, J^ilizabeth, Mary, and Dolly. The lands of these ladies were further increased by [)urchascs I'roni DONTNGTON CHURCH AND LORDSHIP. 89 Mr. TTaywood, wliicli liicliard Uoynolds also left to his .said ihw.o dau^litcr.s successively in f.iil. l>iit to return IVoin this dii:^'rcssi(>n Oeor^^^e Iloly- oake, nller livinn- at JNeachill ibr ahout a quarter of a (\'iilury, sold it to Jehu .Jones of* ituckley Oi'ange, at that time Lord of Doniui^ton, and Avent to live in Worcestershire, where he died, Mrs. Holyoake having iircdeceased him hefore removal from Neachill, and been l)iiried in the churchyard of Uonington. The Neachley, or Little Neachley l^lstate, as it is sometimes Ccalled to (listiui^'uish it from Neachill, which is also called Neacli- Ky, would seem, like parts of Kilsall, at one time to have formed a portion of Tong Park, but, upon its sale hy the Bishten family, it was pui'chaserl by Mv. Jones, a l)anker of AValsall, and subserpiently settled upon liis daughter, Mrs. White, who, as a widow, lived here. She afterwards became the wife of Earnest, a younger son of George L)urant of Tong Castle, by his first wife Mary Aim, daughter of Jnancis J^ld of Suighfbrd, Co.

Oi' Sir Thomas Botelar very little is known. He was a])pointed to be Abbot of the mitred Benedictine ^lonastery of St. Peter and St. Paul at Shrewsbury, 1529, and was tlie last Abbot. He surrendered the j\[onastory into the hands of the King's Commissioners 1 539, retiring with an annual pension of ISO, equal to about i'(jOO of present money. Alter the Dissolution of his Monastery, lie became the Vicar of Much Wen- lock, CO. Salop, to wliich ])arish liis curious and inter- estino* Register relates. That parisli must at that time • •11 • have been co-cxtensive with tlie present Deanery of AYenlock, comprising many places, now distinct parishes, subordinate to the mother church of Wenlock, and over uhich tlie Vicar had a certain pre-eminent authority and jurisdiction. Probably the parish contained the entire Franchise of Wenlock. The following extracts from the Taxation Rolls will give an idea of the extent of the jiarish or deanery : — DECANAT' DE WEXLAK CniCA 1291 (tax, ECCL. p. XICHOLAl). Taxatio. Dociina.

Mr. Ifartshornc states that " tlie Ptogister was written on paper, in a clear, bold hand," but tlie following in the 4 96 THE REGISTER OF SIR THOMAS BOTELAR, MS. collections of Rev. J. B. Blakeway, in the Bodleian, is in Mr. Blakeway's own handwriting : — " History of the original ^IS., as givoii me by the present Mr. Bowen [iMr. John liowen, senior]. It is upon vellum, and was found by the late ^Ir. Bowen [Mr. James i^owen] among Lord Weymouth's muniments at Long Leatc, who sent it to Wynnstay, to Sir Watkih Williams Wynne. Some years afterwards it could not be found. . . ^lany years afterwards the presimt Mr. ]>owen found it over a lumber wareliouse of the late Staftbnl Pryse's [bookseller] in Bousehill lane, Sbrcwsbury, and it is now restored to ^^'ynnstay." The discrepancy in these two accounts of the Docu- ment inclines one to hope that there w^ere two copies existing — one on paper, the other on vellum — and that one or other may be still in existence. What was the size of the MS. we know not, hut Mr. Ilartshorne mentions the year 155() being on folio 110. As the extracts are dillerent 1 print both, together with Mr. Ilartsliornes prefatory remarks, and have added a few notes cx])lanatory of the individuals and circinnstances mentioned. Of the time of Sir Thomas Botelar's death we can find no record, as the existincj Parish Ileo-ister of Much AVonloc;k is defective between 15G1 and 15GG, but as the last entry in his Ilegister is dated 15 02, it probably took place about that time. W.A.L. EXTRACTS FROM THE REGISTER OF SIR THO^FAS BUTLER, VICAR OF MUCH WENLOCK. (From the Cambrian Journal, 18GL) The following extracts from the Register of Sir Thomas Botcler, or Butler, vicar of Much ^Venlock, in Sbrop- sliirc, were not origiiudly transciibcMl umlcr a view of printing them, and therefore occasional hberties have VICAR OF MLTCn WEN LOCK. 97 l)Oon talvon willi tlio oi-tlioq-i-;i|^liy. Sometimes tlie old spollinL;' lias l)een ivtaiiUMl, and at others modernized. As the meaning and words have, however, been carefully retained, there will he little cause to reo-ret the litei'al \'ariations that may have existed between tlie transcript and the original manuscript. Nor indeed wo\dd-itbe now possible to amend any nn'stakes of this description, as the Register itself is believed to have been destroyed at the calamitous tire that consumed the mansion of Sir Watkin Williams Wyrnie, at Wynnstay, in the year iSoD. The Register was written on paper, in a clear, bold hand. It contained numerous entries of cludstenines and burials, connnencing 2Gth November, 1538, and ending 20tli Sej)teniber, 15G2. Wenlock, called commonly i\ruch Wenlock, was a vicarage belonging to the large priory founded here originally by ]\Iilburga, daughter of Mei'ewald, sovereign, of tlie western parts of jMercia. It was refounded by Karl Leofric immediately before the Conquest, since he died in 1057, and subsequently established as a priory for Cluniac monks by Earl Roger de Montgomery. It will not be necessary to enter into the history of the ])rioiy of ]\ruch Weidock', I'or which I have very am])le materials to draw from, having intended several years :igo to [)ublish a work expressly relating to it. 1 shall therefore merely state that the jn esent borough of Wen- lock, or francliise, as it is termed, comj)riscs most of the })arishes that are mentioned in the present extracts, and, id ing Ibrmerly dej)endent on the mother chiuxh, a ready cx[)lanation is alfordcd of motises that uiged the vicar to insist on all tlio litt's of Ihe Church Ix'ing per- formed at Wenlock, instead of these various other places within his jurisdiction. As this Registci' c-mbraccs about (uglit years of the reign uC 1 leniy Vli I., goes t hi uugh (hal of Mdwartl \ I., l;ikcs in the wliolo of (^ucen ^blrv's, and foui- xa^iis of (^hiccn l'lh/ab(»(irs a period n\ hen [\]r nu)s( inipoi'lanl. cli;uig(\s were being ma(h' in (he edabli- hcMl ichgion of VOJ., VI. M 98 THE REGISTER OF SIR THOMAS BOTELAR, I tlio country — sncli a record of tlie feeling of tlie times cannot iail to bo full of interesting particulars. It is very evident tliat tlie vicar of Much Wenlock looked with no favourable eye upon the change from tlie worship of the lloman Catholics to the simpler forms that disj^laced it in the hearts of the people. And this circumstance may probably have led him to regard the privileges of the motlier clnu'ch, of which he was vicar, w^ith that extreme jealousy that is frequently exhibited in his PtOixister. A few words only will be necessary to explain the authority Sir Hiomas 1 hitler assnmcs over tlie neigh- bouring ])arishcs. The j)riory of St. Milbuiga had large estates in various j)arishes aronnd ; and this circum- stance, after no great length of time, led to the })riors exercising both religious and temporal jurisdiction throughout tha,t district of Shropshire where their pos- sessions were situated.

JiY ASKEW liOBERTS. Lv the account of the Old Churcli piibhslied in 1879, it was stated that " in tlie month of May " tliat year, " cm-iosity was awakened by a, starth'ng announcement that ' A. 13/ had deposited 1700 in the bank for the purpose of 'raising- the east window.'" Jn reconhng this fact we assumed that it meant "an extensive al- teration in the i)itch of tlie roof; and a reredos ; " and the assumption was correct, so far as the raising of the window and tlie erection of thc^ I'eredos went ; though not as to the pitch of the roof The reredos, of which we give a representation, was one of the last designs of tlie fertile brain ol'tlie late iMr. Strec^t, and was j)laced in tlu; chui-oli during the autunni of 1880. A glance at it will show how greatly an alteration in the pitch of the roof would have added to the general ehect, as in that case the east window would have stood out clenr above the reredos. Ne\'er- theless it is, like all Mr. Street's work, highly artistic, and adds much to the beauty of the chancel. The reredos is made of marble with cano[)ied niches containing ligures in stone. ()u the noitli side ol* the t^onnnunion Table is a lai'ge clllgy of St. Pelca-, and on the south side St. Paul; and immediately abo\e the Table livo. aoyou niclies willi iigures representing the Virgin j\lary, Our ]j01(1, John llic^ Duptist, and tlie Vowv 1^^ van gel ists. luTore we ])r()ceed with ila^ list of monumcnlal in- scri[)t/ions on tla^. stones in ( ho chui'di and c'hurch)ai-d, von. VI. u I 134 OSWESTRY OLD CHURCH MONUMENTS. we ^vlll, sliortly, describe tlie windows. When the east windo\v was tirst put in we are not informed, hut up to 18()1 It was so liidden by boards — on which were painted tlie C\miman(hnents — that a large portion of it was completely Ijlocked. In that year the lay rector, the Earl of Powis, had the obstructions cleared away and new glass inserted. The style is perpendicular, consisting of five equilateral arches, obtusely pointed, tlie mullions of the centre arcli being continued upwards, and the up])er portion being sub-divided into smaller arches, with tracery on either side. Tlie general design of the stained glass is that most appropriate of all designs lor .such a whulow — the Lord's Sup- per— the representation occupies the whole of the lower })ortion of the window. Within the centre arch is The Saviour, blessing and distributing the bread and Avine ; on his left hand Judas, sullenly grasping the bag of money, on his right hand Peter, who, ^vlth the other disciples, is earnestly assertino- his attachment to Our Lord. In the tracery of the u})i)er part of the window is the Common Seal of Oswestry ; and below this a series of lights r(i])resentino- on the one side the Amiunclation and Salutation of the Virgin, and on the other the L'llght hito Egypt, and the IVcsentation in the Tomjde. ]\iej\iok[al windows.

Associations of a similar descrijjtion were customary among the ancients; tliey occur in the Capitida of Carloman, anno 880, and in other of the Anglo-Saxon Synods. The derivation of the word Guild is from Gclda — a contribution from a body of })crsons for general pubhc purposes, comprising in tlieir objects the advantages of ahiisand good lellow- ship, with wholesome [)rovisions lor the adjustment of disputes without the irritating and expensive process of litio'ation : to these were added some of a commercial o character, which subsecpicntly devolved to companies of traders. A Merchant Guild was established in Shrewsbury as a voluntary association, at least as early as the llth year of King John, tliough from the general tenour of a roll among the numicipal archives of the town being 1 Kcpiintud IVum 'I'/ic Udi\v, in a measure, en joy tlie Iruits of th(-ir working, lor \ ai ious excellences have arisen from i\\vm. althougli their life is nlmost gone, and the m;i)oiily of tlii>m have but a nomiiwd existence. Having survived ilie original pur- })0se of their institution, time lias overiaken and lell them in the rear; yet, it may be mentioned to the credit of some of the C()m|)anies in tliis town, that they have acted u[) to the sjurit of (heir inst il uti(»n, b> con 18() ANCIENT GUILDS, ETC., SHUEWSBUKY. tril)iitiiig, accorcUiig- to their respective means, pecuniary assistance to decayed members, to charitable objects and other purposes, until their pjowers ceased (in a measure) under the Municipal Act of 1835, althougli, perhaps, their charters in strict law are as valid as ever. The following Fraternities or Guilds existed in Shrewsbury, the chief of Avliich were tlie Company of Drapers, and the Company of Mercers and Gold- smiths ; the former possessed considerable property, and were incorporated l^y Edward IV., 12th Jan. 14G1-2, as were the latter by the same King in 1480, entries, liowever, occur of admission of freemen to this company in 1425. The Saddlers, Painters, 6:c., were incor- porated by lloyal Cliarter from Edward IV., 8th May, 1471). Tlie com})osition of the IjAiinER Ciiirurgeons, 32 Edward L, 1304, and incorporated with the Wax AND Tallow Chandlers by James II., 1G8G. The Iioyal Charter of the Shoemak1::rs is dated at West- minster, 12th November, 1387, and recites a Charter of Edward U I. A composition was also obtained by tlieni in 15G1. The Vintners, 14th Edward IV., 1412. Weavers, 27th Henry VI., 1448-9. Eletchers, CooRERS, and Bowyers, 27th Henry VL, 1449. Cah- RENTERS AND TvLERs, 28th Heiuy VL, 1449-50.

It is certain that the Millers, liAKEiis, Cooks, Butchers, and Shear]MEN, had compositions before 1479, as they are included in the order then made i'ov the rank and pre- cedence of the several companies on the day of (Corpus Clnisti.

Harper for liis admission ... 00 07 01 ir/J7. 21tIiJime, Roger Wilson for ye like, yo rest forgiven by consent ... ... ... 01 08 00 From a document in the possession of the writer, it appears, that previously to the year 1821, there was in existence a translation of a Charter made in the 19th year of Edward IV., to the Saddlers, Painters, Glaziers, Curriers and otliers, of this town. In tlie year hrst stated, a search was made for the original Charter in the Ptecord Cilice of the Tower of London, by the Deputy Keeper, but without success. He at the same time wrote, stating that of the period before-mentioned, viz. — 19th Edward IV., iiothino- is ori record, touching any of the Companies of Shrews- bury." It further a})pears, that all charters })assiug luider the Great Seal of England, should be enrolled in the Court of Chancery, and that the Tower is the oidy legitimcate de})ository for such records irom tlieir earliest period to the year 1483. Ilistoiy, it has been remarked, is but an exercise of tlic memory, unless it enables us to improve our con- dition and experience, or to appreciate it hy com- parison. Hence we leani, that in ibrmer times the splendid festival of Corpus Christi, in the ('Iruvh oC llonK\ was obs(H-ved in this town with nnu-h p(.)mp and solenniity, by the masters and wardens oi* the several trading companies, the members of the corporation, tlic parochial clei'gy, and the various n^ligions iVatcM-nitios of the [)la.ce.

Tlie composition of tlie Mercers, Ironmongers, and Goldsmiths, dire>^ts that they shall provide " 300 mode of Avax yearly, to be burnt in the p'cession of the Feast of Corpus Xpi/' In the celebra- tion of this anniversary, the various bodies proceeded to a stone cross, probably that called the "WeepiiiLj Cross,"-^ two miles S.E. of the town, where " all johiecl in bewailing' their sins, and in chanting forth petitions for a plentiful harvest they then returned in the same order to the Church of St. Chad, where to each was assigned a ])articular place in the choir. Three days of recreation succeeded in the following week. After the Reformation the religious part of the cere- mony was, of course, set aside ; but a day of disport and inerriment Avas observed. Among the pastimes maintained, were bonfires, the setting up of may-poles, &c., and the celebration of "' religious mysteries,'' or "miracle pLiys.'"' Against these, however, and every species of dramatic performance, the favourers of Puri- tanism commenced an attack ; but, as Queen Elizabeth and her courtiers mdulired in this kind of amusement without scruple, the practice was tolerated for some time. fn 1575, v/hen Ijoicester, the (^juecn's favourite, entertained his sovereign at Kcnilwurth, with every device Avhicli the refinement or rusticity of the age could furnish, " certain good hearted men of Coventry made petition, that they miglit renew now their old Storial Show." The thing, said they, " is gromuled in story, and, for pastime, wont to be i)layed in our city yearly, till now of late laid down by the zeal of certain 1 111 1795, tliero was discovcreJ in !St. Giles's C'liuicliyard, tho head or upper part of an aneicnt cross, whicli no doubt loi mod part of the " Weepin;^ Cross," which stujd at the honuthu'y of the |)arish of Holy Cioss and St. ({ile.s.

The setting up of a green tree," or maypole, gaily decked ^vith garlands, before the Shearmen's Hall, in Shrewsbury, was, according to an old LIS. in my pos- session, an usag'o [)ractised by the ap[)rentices of this large company on their feast-day, previously to the year 1588. The noisy revelry coiuiected therewith, THE SMITHS AND ARMOURERS .\RR0UR. seems to have excited the dis})leasure of tlie Puritans; and the custom being denounced by the " pul)hc preacher of the town" (an ollice granted to the min- ister of St. Mary's), and also forbidden by the baihlfs ; the J\IS. furtlier says, that "in 15!)L certain young ]nen wei'o indicted at tlie sessions, bnt on their sub- mission, they were acipiit of tlieir (Usobedience, and all further proceedings against thiMU (plashed; and it was determined tluit the nsual tree might ho pnt uj» as heretoloi'e, so that it be done; s<)l)ei'ly and in gr)ud okKm', withont broils or contention."

This ebullition of feeling having subsided, a more orderly mode of enjoyment seems to liave been adopted, and gradually to have progressed in public estimatioii ; since, fi'om the circumstance as aljove narrated, another old local ]\IS. notices, 1591, " the trades began to goto Kingsland,'"' the usual day of the festival being retained. In order to accommodate the diilerent combrethren, and to preserve quietude " within the walls,"' eacli company probably on their petition, had subsequently, by favour of the corporation, a small plot of ground allotted to them, varying in extent, from nearly one- fourth to one-eighth of an acre, wherein to enjoy their festivity, at Kingsland (anciently written Chingsland). This space being enclosed with a hedge and planted with trees, was called an Arbour," and here tents of wood framework, early in the 17th century, were per- mitted to be erected, and as funds increased, the com- brethren in more recent years, ventured, though without the sanction of the corporation, to build more substan- tial structures of brickwoidc. A general view of tliis portion of Kingsland, taken a few years ago by jMr. L. Jewitt, before the destruction of the arbours, will be found at the head of this paper.

Of the ten or twelve arbours which formerly dotted Kings- land, the Shoemakers was the largest. In form also, it was dillerent, being octagonal, but like the others, composed of a timber frame and lattice- work. The close, or area in which it stood, was approached by a Doric stone portal, the piers supporting the arch being faced with fluted ])ilasters. It was ei'octed in 1079, by ''the free will olleriiigs of the brctlu'cn and halt- brethren" of the fraternity, aided by a contribution from the f^eneral funds, at a char<>-e of 1:28 Gs. 7d. In iG8 J, there was placed on either side above the .arch, two stone figures, representing ^'Crispin and Crispi- anus," the ])atrons oC the gentle cral'te ;" and as if in forbeaiaiice of tlu^ iconoclastic fury which had not long betore characterised the interregmnn, the following lines (which had long l>een scarcely higihh^ and wei'o last year removed) were ins( iibed on a panel : — " Wc are but images of stoinie, Do us no harnie Wc can do uonnc."

Over the exterior gate was the arms of the company, painted on a large iron plate. The arbour fell down July 7th, 1860, and the whole of the materials were sold, as also tlie trees which surrounded it, in the following year. Tliis Arbour is engrav^ed on Plate I. The Painters, Booksellers, and Saddlers Arhour stood in a line with the above, and was only separated by a hedo'e. It was rebuilt with brick in 1702, and en- larged in 180G, and £25 expended in the erection of a wall in 1830, when two scarlet gowns ^^^ere purchased for the wardens, at a cost of JL'3. The arbour was taken down early in the present year, and the enclosure, with tiiat of the Butchers, thrown open to Kingsland, This Arbour is also shown on the general view on Plate 1. Tlie Sniiihs and Armourers, on the south-east side, was rebuilt of brick about 35 years ago, and now forms two cottages. Of this Arbour a representation will be found on page 189. The Builders, or Bricklayers, on the western side of Kingsland, has also been re-cdified with brick, and forms a dwelling house. On the occasion of the corona- tion of George IV., July li), 1821, a new gateway was erected by the company, with an inscription surmounted by a crown, coimnemorati ve of the above event. This Arbour is engraved on page 103. AXOIF.NT Oni.r?. ETC., SnKE^Y^Br^.Y.

The outer gateway displayed the arms and motto of the company carved in wood, and set up in 1669, at a cost of 10.S., and which, after several re-furbisliings, fell into decay and was lost or destroyed two years since.

TJic Shearmen or Cloth Workers liad their arbour on the soiitli-west bank. Two or throe trees whicli still remain, denote its site. Formerly, and witliin recent memory, there was " a large tree" licre, which had seats [)laced amid its spreading Inanches. To tiiis point, regalement was aliorded to sucli persons as dared to venture the lofty height; but who, after having ini- bilied too much of the "invigorating clieer" of the brotherhood, had oftentimes not suliicient temerity to reach terra fir ma without the apphance of mechanical assistance. 71ie leakers Arhoiir was situated south-east of the last, and has long been used as a cottage residence, to which the close forms a gai'den. It was rebuilt with brick early in the present century, and was formerly pleasantly surrounded with trees, and commands a fine prospect. The building was purchased in 1848, by the present writer, as Treasurer of the Corporation, from the assigns of a person who had taken |)ossession of it, as, on account of sustained costs against the company, in an action for supposed infrhigement of their rights, about forty years since, the company then became defunct. lite Shir/iers and (Uoi'crs was on the north. It was of trellis work slated. Being much dilaphlated, it was removed about 45 years ago. Its site is still marked by a large and lofty oak tree, beneath which the " lads and lasses " of bygone generations had oftentimes danced merrily. Of these arbours five only remain, and during the ])rescnt year an arrangement has been completed with the existing mend)ers of the scu'eral compani(^s, which has transCeri cd their |)()ss(jssi()ii to the coi poi at ion ot' th(^ town, for a proi)osed j)urpose ()rim})i'oving tla^ lands ol* K ingsland.

Before these personages was carried a large branch of a tree, from which an apple was occasioDally plucked and temptingly " offered. The B ateliers had a ''Monarch" on horseback, wearing a large bespangled crown, decorated witii variously coloured feathers, and holding in liis hand a " cleaver" emblazoned with the crest of the company, and followed by a body of Fencers." These were a number of boys in white frock coats, dexterously brandishing "foils'" in their march, each being gaily dressed with ribbons, and having on their cheeks a " beauty spot," considered at one time so fashionable. The Barher Cldrurgeons and Weavers supported their ''Ladye," St. Catherme, riding on a palfrey, and clad in a white robe and mantle, and bearing in her hand a wheel and distaff, at wdiich she is employed. TJie BricJdayers, dv., some sixty years ago, adopted for their leader the blulf monarch, ilemy YHT., dressed in a gorgeous robe and scarlet mantle, and a vest of many colours to cover his rotundity. The Hatters, an Indian Chief on horseback, brandish- ing a spear. The Smiths and Armourers, from time unknown were preceded by Vulcan, or a knight in a com[)lote suite of black armour, bearing a sword and shield, inscribed — "With hammer and hand all ulauts (sic) do STAND," and supported by two attendants, who occasionally dis- charge a blnndcr])nss.

In those, (Jorbet of Morton has 2;j Quarters, vix., 1 to 7—17, 18, B, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 11, 20, 21,'22, 23, 21, 25, 2G, 27— and (\)rbet of Stanwardine 1 to 7, 17, 18, 8 to 11, 20 to 2(), and ti»cn 27 to 32 as above ; and aie in both instances thereby marshalled wrong ; as is evident by a reference to the [)edigrce ot" Hopton, which agrees with the collateral descents of several families inserted in the family pedigree that nUimately merged in that of Corbet. The arms No. 5 to 20 were aeipiired by the marriage of Sir Uoger Corbet, with Elizabeth, dau<^ditui- and heiress of Thomas n()[)ton.

(^lig- den, Fohjchronicon, lib. i. circa a.d. 1350.) From this short description, which doubtless embo- dies the view of still earlier times, we may fairly gather that the city of Shrewsbiu y {Su.Io^^ici in'h^) did not ex- tend mucli, if at all, beyond the crest [certe.i) of the hill on which three of the principal ecclesiastical buildings now stand. If it had occupied a larger area, a chron- icler like Higden (wlio j^robably was personally ac- quainted with a city within forty miles of his convent) would not have used the words, '''in. vertice collis posita,'' placed on the crest of a hill. Tf this Ije borne in nn'nd, the inferences, v/hich the iblloA\ ing facts seem to warrant, will be more readily lulmitted, and, as additional iiiforjuation is from time to time ac([uired, the subject will be carried on to greater detail. Some three years ago my attention was directed to very consideral)io remains of a \\ \\\\ at tbe baidv of some houses in tlu^ High Street ((hosi^. numltenMl 10, II, and 12). The same remains are noticed in the account given, by the Hev. W. A. Leighton, of tlie Deanery of St. Alknuuid. Careful exaniinalion of the adjoining ^ Rcprintcil IVi'iu .\i r/t/,ni/,t (!'lr. Vol. VI. a7 258 THE INNER WALL OF SHREWSBURY. properties seemed to indicate that these remains, whether they did or did not form one boundary wall of the deanery, were the best preserved portions of a much longer ^\'all, which extended south-east and north-west across the city (or rather across the present to^^'n) far beyond the limits of any deanery, [uid may have formed, and very })rol3ably did form, part of an original defence of the city wliich, in very early times, occupied, as Higden intimates, no more than tlie crest of the hill. 'J'hat this wall was ever part of an inner wall, divi- ding the city into two unequal portions, can scarcely be believed, because such a wall Avould not have been built along a doc-livity so as to allow the lowT.r portion to be domiiKitod by the upp(M'. It is now, indeed, an inner wall, and so 1 sliall designate it; but originally it nuist have been an outer defence. Nor could it have been a wall dividing the city into wards, for it is not now in any part of it a w^ard limit, but is included in two of the wards, tlie Bank House (No. G, High Street) being upon the dividing line. Tl' we could l)olicve that the Ptomans, or their suc- cessors, sometimes designated E.omano-r>ritons, had any hand in the laying out of the earliest settlement on this ])eninsula, such a line of defence would be in exact accordance with their [)ractice, which was to make their ramparts follow the outlines of the hills on which the loi'tifKHl camp or city stood. " It is IVecjuently inti- mated in a.ncient aiilhors," says the llev. liichard Burgess, in his book on tlie TopoyiMpliij awl jinfitpiilics of Rome, "that the old walls continued with the out- lines of the hills, for, in this manner, according to ancient tactics, the- city would be more elfectually Ibrtilied;" and, in su[)|)ori of Ibis assci'tion, lie proceeds to (pioto a passage from J?liny's Satural Ulslorij. iUii,, be this as it may, no one will deny that " in this manner the city would be more ejectmillij ibrtified." All our historians are agreed that the very lirst de- fence ol* the position which Shrew sbui-y now covers was a wall or rampart across the isthmus, on cither THE INNER WALL OF SHREWSBURY. 259 ►side, from tlie lioiglit wlici'o tliu castle stands to the rh^ei". Ill course ot time, however (ii* not at the very first settlement of the ])lace), further ])rotectioii Avas reqiured. Eitlior ])revious irieads hecame liostile, or old enemies found means to get across the natural defence wliich the river supjjlies, and so the inliahit- ants were compelled to construct a rampart, or even a stone wall, along the declivity of tlie liill, on the crest of whicli their dwellings were placed, and it may safely 1)0 asserted tluit, li'they did so ^vith ;niy regaid to the coniignnition of tlie gronnd and the extent oi' the in- habited area, they couhl not have carried it along any other line than the one wdiere palpable remains ol a wall are still to be seen. The river, which in winter, for the most [)art, woidd be impassable, became at other times fordable in more places than one, and at all seasons the river circuit was too long to be elliciently guarded Ijy two or three hundred able-bodied bin-aesses, some of whom must always have ke[)t watch and w^ard at the isthmus in time of danger. This second wall or rampart (for that cco'oss the isthmus, whether it were or were not earlier in date, may be reckoned as the lirst), need not liave been very liigh or very elaborately constructed ; the existing re- mains, indeed, of the wall, if my inferences are correct, do not lead us to su]:>pose that it was anything like so well built as the wiiW of later date around the present town, but only sullicient to hold in clieck such foes as might have got across the river unobserved. The area enclosed by these fn'st (h^fences wonld re- semble an oblong tra[)ezinm with four une(pi;il sides, the isthmus forming one side, tla^ line from the isth- mus to the angle of tlu^. (hnTiNity wc^siward, about 'lie middle ol: Pri(h^ Uill, niahiiig the seeond ; tlie iliird being from tlience to the top of Lhe WyK', and the fourth from that point to the Isthmus again, dates, entrances or i)osterns, there must have been in the third portion, at Pride lllli, (Jro[)e l^uie, l^'ish ISlreet, 1 260 THE INNER WALL OF SHREWSBURY. and Doi^pole. (The use of modern designations is un- avoidable.) No remains of these entrances, indeed, now exist above ground, and it is dillicult to search beneath the surface ; yet, Tuider the sho[) front of the house at the end of Fisli Street, where it joins the High Street, there is a j)iece of old wall forming the segment of a circle which may have belonged to a gate or barbican. Of the lirst and last of these four sides little or nothing need be said, as their position is unquestioned; nor need 1 say nuich about the second, except that part of it which borders u])on the third. These three sides are, for the most part, coincident with the walls which are acknowledged to have been always outer defences. The second side, liow^ever, has, in that part at least which borders u})on the third, some features which are very interesting, T(UO walls are found run- ning nearly parallel at a distance of about eight yards. The outer, and, as I infer, the more modern one, is of dressed freestone of excellent quality, and the inner one of softer, more friable, and more highly coloured sandstone, not regularly dressed nor so carefully put together. Whether two walls are found on the north- east portion of this side of the trapezium I am unable to decide, for 1 have not examined the ground, nor do I know, for the same reason, whether there is more than one wall on the fourth side. At the angle formed by the second and third sides, about hah way down Pride liill, these two walls |)roject some live or six yards l)eyond the gcncj-al line, and a small tower ol' 10 or 12 feet s(piare projects still moie. Jlere then, probably, on account of its being an anu'ie, tliere was some l)uildin!i* sullicient for the ac- connnodation oi' a laige ni inber of defenders, and out- side this building may still be seen a liroad lli^^ht of stone steps leading to the ditch at the foot of the (l(M'livity. iM-om this angles begins tJiat third side of tlie trapezium whicli Ibi'nis the inner wall. The lii'st ixiniains of tliis inner wall arc^ lound in a cellar beneath the house No. 10, Pride Hill, and they THE INNER WALL OF SHREWSBURY. 2Gl accord with the description of the materials whicli I have already given. On the opposite side of the street the oUl wall forms the boundary of Mr. Goiigh's pro- perty for some 70 or 80 yards, and where this property ends there is a projection beyond the Hne of the wall which may indicate a tower or turret. Beyond this, in the same general direction, about 70 or 80 yards farther on — the distance is uncertain, for measurements are well nigh impossible — but within 20 yards of Grope Lane, are the foundations of a similar small tower. On the south-east side of Grope Lane, the remains of the wall following the general line are quite distinct ; it is nearly perfect at the spot where I first observed it, where, as I have said, the Rev. W. A. Leighton locates the deanery of St. Alkminid, but beyond that it makes a sharp turn to the westward for hve or six yards, and then takes a covu'se parallel to its former one, if it does not, as I strongly suspect, pass back to the same original line after encompassing three sides of a parallelogram ; and, if this be the case, here may have been another large fortification. There are, how- ever, no means of proving this point, for no remains of the other two sides are left above ground, and the old foundations, to be seen in the cellars of the dwellinos, are not suiliciently distinct to warrant a positive state- ment. We now come to Fish Street, but here the alterations of level and contour are so misleading, that we can only gather the direction of the wall from its having for ages limited the properties on either side, and from some vestiges in a vault or cellar, partly under the street, and partly under a warehouse. A line of old wall, however, does run from this })oint down the side of the street until it joins the segment to which I have bclbro rcfeiTcd. The ])resent chiu'ch of St. Julian is either built on hUh sides of the line oi' the wall, or itself occupies the site oC a foi'tification which j)rojected beyond the lint\ At the back of the J\ledical Jhdl, and the neighbouring sho|).s on the toj) of the Wyle, the wall is well preserved. It ■'si 2G2 THE INNER WALL OF SHREWSBURY. is several feet high, and forms, as elsewhere, the boun- dary of properties ; hence the direction of the wall looks across Dogpole (where we have supposed there was a gate or postern) to the place where it forms, with the fourth side of the trapezium, a right angle. 'At this place, indeed, there is strong proof of this inner wall having once formed the outer defence of the city. The Avall coming up from the Stone Bridge makes, with the wall on the fourth side, a figure which may he likened to a capital T ; while the third and fourth sides form an angle, as though the letter 'y had, upon the left bar of the cross piece, a perpendicular erected ; a connection which, unless my inferences are admitted, is inexplicable. Of tli(^. fourth side nothing need be said ; the wall exists almost unbroken, and is unques- tioned. The first proof on which I rely of this inner wall having been an outer defence, is found in the difference of elevation of the ])roperties on either side of it. The level of the u])per town is from 8 to 12 feet above that of the lower ; and if we suppose the inner wall to have had a breastwork or parapet in addition, it would have formed no conteinptiblo ol)sta,clo to an invader. Another strong [)r()()l* ai'iscis, as L have ab'cady intimated, from its bounding tenements and pro])erties on either side. It is, moreover, nowhere broken through, except where, in quite modern times, tenements on the lower side have Ijecn enlarged by the acquisition of space on the higher, to which access is had by a flight of steps, or by l)reakitig away the wall (as was done at No. 8, High Street); and I'emoviug the earth so as to make the levels alike. In the jualn stretch of this iiuiei' wall, between Pride Hill and Cjlro[)o Lane, there arc no breaches of contiiuiity whatevca', nor between Cvro[)e liane and the Bank l*assage. excei)t where, as 1 have stated above, it w as l)rok(^n tln'ough a- few years ago to eiilaigc; I lie pi'eniisc;s at No. 8. VVbon Do.'iicsila ij Ihh>L: was comj)il(Hl, it is e\i»leiil that the area of Shrewsbury was wcvy much less than THE INNER WALL OF SHREWSBURY. 263 it is at present, or has been for tln-ee or fom* hundred years jxist ; but snuill as it was conipariitively, it could not have been lel't without defence ag'aiiist the inroads of the Britisli. There were then two hundred and fifty- two liouses, whicli would not have occupied an area lari^-er than that afforded by the crest of the hill, unless they h;nl l)een very lari^-e houses indeed, which we know they were not. The rest ol' the [)eninsula w^as culti- vated by the citizens or grazed by their cattle. This additional area, however, in course of time, as the popu- lation increased, v^as needed for more dwellings. The citizens required more buildirig room, [uid the ground occu})ied by the gardens and tields of their forefithers furnished sites for their mansions and courtyards. Wood and wattle were in numerous instances super- seded by stone, until the rest of the peninsula above llood-level was more or less occupied by dwellings of one sort or another, so as to form a sul)iui) more than commensurate with the oi'iginal city. This enlarge- ment, we may sup])ose, took place in pii)ing times of peace but when the tramp of war steeds " again was heard, it became absolutely necessary to fhid some de- fence for tliis important suburb, and so a wall was resolved upon : a mighty undertaking as it proved, for they not merely deterinined to surround the new and lower town with fortifications calculated to A\idi,staiid methods of warfai-e then in vogue, but to su])ersed(^ the old wall on the second, and it may be tburlh, .side as well, 'i'his new wall had its owji gates and posterns, was connected with the two l)ri(lg(\s, and was built, as r have said, in bettc^r style, and \\ i(h blotter ma((M'ial, than tli(; old one, whicli now IxM'oming ol)sole((\ (\sp(^ci- ally on the thiid sid(^, would only sta'\e as a, (piarry when stones were re([uired for public or even private erections.

Further eastward, down the seventy stej^s' passage, a doorway with a semicircular heading leads into a large vaulted room between the old and new wall, which is hghted by two very perfect em- brasures. The only objection of any weight to the inferences I liave drawu, arises from the positions of tlie palace of Pengwern Powis (wliicli we know existed in British times) and the colK\giate cinu'cli of St. Cliad : these were outside the walls of the upper towrL The palace, liowever, would liave had its own defences; and reli- gious buildings were, for the most part, privileged. In any case the church and college would have been in no greater danger from a bai-barous foe tluui tlie Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul, which was also outside the forti- lications of the town. I may be permitted to record my conviction that careful excavations would reveal the foundations of a fortification at the south-east end of Fish Street, ]ios- sibly occupying part of St. Julian's churchyard, similar to that of which the lower stories remain at the angle formed by the second and third sides of the up[)ertown on Pride Hill. The ground, however, is so cumbered with buildings that we may not hope, unless something very unusual should clear them all away, to have the conviction verified. It will have been observed that I have purposely abstained I'rom assigning any date for the erection of the inner wall. It, or a rampart which it superseded, was, no doubt, ])ut uj) in very early times, anterior to th(^ coming of the Normans, and very probal)ly anterior to tlie coming of the Saxons.

ALKMUND, SIIIIEWkSBUIIY. By Rev. W. A. LEIGIITON, B.A. (Camb.), F.L.S., &c. The Chiircli of St. AlkjiiLind in Shrewsbury was built by Etlielileda, tlie daa<^-liter of tbe i^reat Alfred, in the 9tli century, and was dedicated to St. Alkniund, a prince of the Northuiubrlan family. EtheHleda en- dowed the Church with several Shrojjshire manors, some (/f which still constitute the pi'csent Parish of St. Alkmund. ller great ne[)heu', King Edgar the Peaceable, about 050, amplihed his aunt's endowment with additional lands and possessions, and appointed a Dean and 12 l^'cljends or Canons. At tlie time of Domesday this Church held in Slirewsbury 21 bur- gages, besides the 12 houses of the Canons. Li 1147 iiiciiard do P)ehneis, then Dean of St. Alkmund, ob- tained the [)a])al and i'uyal sanctions to dissolve the Colh^ge of St. Alknuuid, and tiansfer its gi-eat cstides to tlie then newly foimded Abbey of Lilleshidl, dedi- cated also to St. Alknumd, and where this Saint was said to have been buried. This act transformed this rich benefice into a })oor vicarage. The exact site ol the Deanery or Canons' houses has never as yet been determined, but if our conclu- sions are correct, its situation can now be satisfactorily and permanently indicated. Opi)osite the west end (){' St. AlLnnnid's (!lniivli and hrlween Fish Street and High Street theie aie considerable remains of old walls ol rcul sandstone.

Some asserted that tliey were ail inner wall of the tovvji, but if so it must have loft outside of it Old St. Chad's Church, and probably also St. Julian, a very unlikely occurrence, considering the ciicaiinstances of early times. Some repairs now (IS80) being done to a bouse in the lligli Street have ailbrded an excellent opportunity to examine these old walls. A mass of red saiidstone wall GO feet in length and ])arallel with the west end of St. Alknumd's Churcli has been disclosed, from the two extremities of which return-walls are uiven oif at riolit anules towards the lliifh Street. This wall varies in heioht from 12 to 20 or more feet, and is pierced about the centre, but high up and on a level ^vith Fish Street, by a pointed arch or door, wliich led into the upper portion of the building, as on the level with, and immediately under the base of this door, is a projection in the Avail extend- ing its entire length, which evidently supported tlie floor of the upper chamber. T]:e imder chamber w^ould hav^e its frontage open toAvards the High Street, as the groimd is considerably lower on that sitle. 'i'he return- walls have been entirely broken away Ijy the modern houses in Iligli Street, but in a passage between Mr. Robinson's and Mr. Chancellor's shops, and a few feet from the High Street, is a small fragment about 2ft. Gin, in height and width, which by its set-off indicates the termination of the northern return -wall. The inter- vening ])ortion is now gone, but I have distinct recol- lection of its existing ])rior to the alterations. 'i1iis fragment enables us to determine that the area of the buikling measures GO feet l)y 58 feet. How this area was divided we are unable to say, as all internal walls have long since vanisluul. In the southern rc^tuin-wall tbiu'c are two openings, one of which may have been a door or a windcnv, and the other certaiidy a window. In tla^ a|)pon(h'd ski^ti h all the jjrickwork of houses cn'ccted on the back wall, and the chinmi(^s and k^an to's which have been erected against it, have been omitted. 270 THE CHURCH OF ST. ALKMUND, SHREWSBURY. The nature of these walls, e.^^pecially the return- walls, and their position relatively to the chnrcli, refutes the conjecture of their having been portions of an inner wall of the town^ and clearly shew that they formed parts of a domestic Mansioji, which from its great size and extent makes it highly probable that this was the Deanery or Canons' houses of St. Alkmunds Collegiate Church. There are no mould- ings visible which would give a clue to the period and style of architecture, which is ])robab]y that of the 12th or 13th century. On the south-east side of the mansion there was some sort of a coiu'tyard which extended to what is now termed Bank Passage," wliich in reality was the shut leading from Fish Street to High Street, along and outside the boundary wall as is usual in all the other old Mansions in Shrews- bury. Some slight remains of this boundary wall still exist. Li the cellars of some of the houses in Fish Street are old thick walls which may have been the cellars of the Mansion, and I am informed by a gentle- man who resided in the house under repair for two years that the cellars belonging to it are very exten- sive and formed of thick stone walls, and as this house hes within the area of the mansion, these cellars may also have belonged to it. liuDLOw Castle. 271 LUDLOW CASTLE. Ludlow Castle is the glory of the middle marches of Wales, and first in place among the many military structures by which the great county of Salop has been adorned and defended. It is a noble specimen of mili- tary, palatial, and even ecclesiastical architecture, of high antupiity and of historic fame. It is probably without rival in Britain for the sylvan beauty of its position, in which wood and water, and meadows of wide expanse and rare fertility, are combined with rugged and lofty crags, of which the walls and towers seem to form a component part, so natural are the tints of their lichens, so thick the foliage, and so close the embrace of their ivy. Nor are its associations with the past unworthy of so bright a scene. Here, in the age of chivalry, the Lacys anveiing the mid(ll(^ ward oii iis (owuwaid si{l(\ To forui it.

This ditch, the line of which may be inferred from its curtain- wall, was not exactly concentric with the inner ditch, but lay in two irregular lines nearly at right angles to each otlier, so that the Avliole area of the Castle is in form rougldy rectangular, and about 130 yards east and west by 150 yards north and south ; including, therefore, above four acres. The town also was walled, and its walls abutted upon the Castle, which thus, as usual under such circum- stances, though provided with its own defences, formed a part of the general enceinte. The town-wall may still be traced from the south-western angle of the Castle, above the river, to the south gatehouse, which, though encrusted with late buildino', and disfigured in the manner characteristic of the last and preceding cen- turies, still shows a portcullis groove, and an archway which seems to be in the Early Englisli style, and pro- bably of the time of Henry I II. T]ie Castle is composed of an inner, middle, and outer ward. The inner ward occupies the south-west angle of the middle ward, and is roughly rectangular, 32 yards east and west by IG yards north and south. The south wall divides it irom the outer ward, and its western is part of the general enceinte. Its two otlier walls divide it from the middle ward. This ward has tliree towtM's, the kee[), th(^ bakehouse, and the postern, at its south- east, south-west, and north-west, anglers, In iL is llie well.

On one side of the ward is the kitchen, built against the inner ward wall ; and opposite to it the w^ell known Noi'inaii chapel, the circular nave of which stands de- tached, but which formerly had a chancel wliich abutted upon the curtain. The outer ward contains at present but few buildings. Near the centre of its curtain is -tlie outer gatehouse, and on its sontli side a range of Tudor buildings, pro- bably stabHng. One square tower, of early date, stands on the east wall, and indicates the boundary of the Norman Castle ; and another, later and semicircular, on the west wall above tlie river, bears the name of Morti- mer. There were some later buildings, including pro- bably a chapel, at the south-west corner of this ward ; but these are in part pulled down, and this quarter of the ward has been walled off, and a public footway made across it. This footway passes through two modern doorways in the outer curtain, tlie thickness of which is thus seen. The ditch covering the middle is, of course, actually within the outer ward. It is cut in the rock, 13 yards broad, 4 yards deep, 150 yards long, and in part revetted ; tlio revetment being, no d()ul)t, a k>ng subsc(picnt addition. It is ci'ossed and closed at each end by the cuitain, and nnist always have been dry or nearly so. The general position, and to some extent the ])lan, of Ludlow, suggest a conqxiri- son with Tkirnard (kstk^, the outline of wliich is also Norman.

Across the hollow an<>le between this last tower and the 27G LUDLOW CASTLE. north curtain is turned a Norman squincli arch, in the soilit of which is the vent, and al)O s"e the loop window of a guardrobe. This curtain forms the wall of the great hall and adjacent building. A large stone spout marks the buttciy, and beyond are tlie three exterior windows of the hail.

Tlie hall Avail ends in a hidf-octagon, within w^hich is the staircase to the private apartments ; and beyond this again is the guardrobe tower — a large rectangular mass of great height and breadth, and very bold projection, and entirely of Deco- rated date. In each of the three faces, at the base, are two large shoulderdieaded recesses, each containing a vent, the slo[>ing shoot from which is G ft. long. In the iloors above are various windows of one liu'lit with tre- foiled heads, and above rises the lower part of a hand- some octagonal chimney shall. Ijeyond the guardrol^e tower is tlie wall of a part of tlie private apartnients, mainly of Decorated date, but nuich altered, in its base are three large early Per- pendicular windows of two lights, treloiled, with tracery in the heads ; and above are various Tudor insertions of interior taste and workmanship, and the timbers of two balconies. This face of the middle ward ends in a square tower of Norman date, which stands at the junction of the walls of the outer and middle ward. Fronr hence the wall is of the outer ward, and seems to have been rebuilt partly in the reign of Elizabeth, to which belongs a small square headed door, outside which are some ruins upon a phdform of rock about oO It. broad. From hence the wall is modern, nearly to the Norman tower, IVom which to the gate house it is probably Nonnan. Deyond the gatehouse, to the river clilf, the wall is 5 ft. to G ft. thlrh and 10 ft. to :.() fl. high. It is uld, bnt [)i"obal)ly not originah 'I he diuh is tilled up, and trees lia,\ <..' grow n along its line, two or three of which must be above a century old. liuDLow Keep LUDLOW CASTLE. 277 The INNER, WARD. — The keep sta^ids on the higher part of tlic enclosure, but at some distance from the river cliff, nor has it any natural advantages for defence. It was not intended to stand alone, hut, as is often the case with keejis of that age, u|)on the enceinte, and to form part of the general line of defence. It is peculiar, in that its original plan, though rectangular, had two sliglit ears or projections, and it was, in fact, slightly T-sluiped, and had communications right and left throuo'li the arms of the T with the curtain wall on which it stood. This is veiy luiusual, and quite an exception to the jealousy with which the entrances to Norman keeps are usually guarded. In this respect it is rather a large murol tower than a keep. It has been much altered at various periods, both within and with- out, and the history of these successive alterations is by no means easy to unravel. The body of the keep is 40 ft. long on its south face, which projects about 7 ft. beyond the curtain into the outer ward. This is the cross limb of the T. The stem projects from the curtain into the inner ward about 30 ft., and is 31 ft. broad. In the original building there was a basement at the ground level and a lofty upper floor with an open roof. The exterior was plain. It had a low plinth, but no pilaster strips, save that at the end of the east wall there is a sort of pilaster G ft. broad by 1 ft. deep. On the south face a strinp- of half hexao'onal section runs a little above the level of the first floor, and on the east and west faces, a little iiigher up, are sets off of 5 in. The upper story is marked by a similar set off all round. The north, south, and west walls at the base are 7 ft. G in. thick, and above it 5 ft. The east wall, containing tlio staircase, is 9 ft. G in. thick. Two additions have been made, which nuich affect the ground pkui. On the west the hollow angle of the T has been fiHod up by a build- ing 1 1 ft. broad by 24 ft. long, which is carried up to the top, and enters partly into the c()ni])osition ol'a. norlli- W(jst fnri-(^.f.

The porter's prison is barrel vaulted, is not bonded into the keep, and is ])robably very late Norman. There is in the keep wall, partly seen in the vault, a loop or window, though there is no indication inside from whence it opened. The existing keep is composed of a basement and three lloors. At present the basement is entered by a door in the north wall from the inner ward, the first and other floors by a well stair in the east angle, entered from tlie main gate. The basement is three steps below the ground level. It is 31 ft. north and south and 14 ft. 5 in. wide. It has a high pointed vault, a loop in the south or outer end, and in the north end a loo}), and above it a window, and by their side the door from the inner ward. The window recess is slightly pointed, that of the door more decidedly so, but the exterior facinof of both door and window is late Perpendicular, four-centred in a fiat head. In the side walls, at their north end, on each side is a Norman arcade of two arches, plain and shallow, s|)ringing from plain detached columns witli iluted and cushion capitals, tlie wliole restino' on a low bench. The arcades beo'in 1 ft. from the north wall, and the arches are full centred, but of unequal span, 4 It. 3 in. and 5 ft. 1 1 in. The western arcade has been walled up and is only partially seen. On the east side, at the southern arch, the column is gone, and the lower half of its nook is occu- pied by a sort of altar of square stones, having a large llaX stone on its toj). Tlic^ wlioK^- work is rude. Tlun'o are no drips or hood mouldings, and a mere attenq^t at an incised ornament. 4'ho arcade is recessed about 1 ft. In the east w^all, near its south end, are two square-headed doors of 2 ft. opening and 7 ft. G in. apart. Each 0j)ens into a j)assage 3 11. 7 in. h>ng and 2 ft. 7 in. bi'oa,d, and llu\se I'lid in and arcM'onnccliul hy a. cross galh'iy 12 11. long aiid 2 ll. G in. broad. These LUDLOW CiVSTLE. 279 passages are lined with aslilar G ft. 7 in. liigh, and flat topped. The roof is formed of riil)l)le, wedged tiglit and plastered. Also, each doorway has a rebate and barhole, sliowing tliat tlio door opened inwards, and was fastened on the inner side or from the passage, into wliich, however, there was no other way. It ap- pears also tliat the great chamber was formerly divided by a cross wall, so placed that one of tliose doors opened into each chamber, and a step in tlie rubljle vaulting shows ^^dlere this wall crossed, and that there was a shght diiference in the lieight of the vault on its Uvo faces. The southern of the two doorways has been nmtilated and a Norman pier lias heon inserted, but this seems modei'n, and a chnnsy device to su[)j)ort the roof. It is dillicult to understand for what purpose this very curious passage was constructed. It afforded a way from the outer to tlie inner room, but this does not account for the position of the bar holes. i\Iore- over, as regards the large room, tlie arcade seems strangely out of ])lace. It was certainly conlined to two arches on each side ; and as the room lies north and south, it could scarcely have been a cha})el, neither is it likely that it was a room of state. The wall seems at one time to have been lined with, ashlar, and there are ashlar bands in the vault, a part of which is built of hammer-dressed stone, and part of very ordinary rubble. The arcade and ])roba,])ly the subst ui(;e of the buildino- are rather early Norman, and the vault and north wall seem additions in the Early English jieriod. This chamber has no communication with the additions either upon the east or the west front. The Jf)\^t jloor is exactly above the basement, and measures 30 ft. l)y 17 ft. G in. In its south cmuI is a Tudoi' window, no doubt ]-eplacing a >sorman loop ; and in its noi'th end are two windows in Tudor recesses, and between them a Tudoi* iiix^[)lac('. In the west wall, m»ith end, a, rounddieaded dooi* opens into a, side chamber 8 ft. by l:) ft., vaulted, but with a. tinil)(M- Hoor, having windows to the north and west, and in its c\ist or keeji t 280 LUJ)L()W CASTLE. side two roimd-lieadecl recesses cC 3 ft. 8 in. opening, and 3 ft. deep. In the south end of this room a narroA\' passage leads into a guardrobe chamber 7 ft. Gin. by 5 ft., with a loop to the west. Between the two rooms is a block of masonry \\dnch contains the shafts of the guard- robes from the upper story. In the other or south end of the west side of the main room a lofty full-centred arch of 5 ft. 10 in. opening, is the mouth of a vaulted lobby 13 ft. 7 in. long; at first 5 ft. 10 in. wide, and tlien reduced to 3 ft. 2 in. This opens upon the soutli curtain, west of the keep. In the south Avail of the lobby is a small I'ound -headed window in a plain recess, and outside, flanked witli nook-shafts, the only ornamented Norman window^ in tlie keep. Opposite, in the cast wall, is a door, of 4 ft. 3 in. opening, which leads into a vaulted and groined chamber 8 ft. square, with a loop to the south, and to the east a short passage 4 ft. wide, which opens upon the south curtain and leads to the upper floor of the gatehouse. In the north wall of the chamber is the head of a straio-ht staircase, which threads the east wall of the keep, and was the original entrance from the ground level to the first floor. The staircase is of ashlar, barrel-vaulted, and fifteen steps are still to be seen. Iieturning to the main chamber, there remains to be noticed a door at the north end of the east wall, which 0})ens into a well stair, and from it by an outer door into what was the first floor of the gatehouse. This w^ell stair occupies the north-east angle of the keep. It is entered by a vaulted rising passage in the east wall fi'om the main gate at the ground level, and tlie staircase rises to the ramparts, opening upon the first and two upper floors. At present its door and window openings are Tudor, but the stair- case itself is probably much older. It is evident that here was the original oni ranee to the keep, as at Chep- sloNV and (yVnllsk^, whence^ a straight stair led up the centre of the wall totlu^. iirst lloor ; but wlicn the lower part ol' the well stair was ins(M"tcd, tlu^ straight stair A\as \va.llcd uj), and so remains. At (1l(>J>^.tow and LUDLOW CASTLE. 281 Carlisle, besides the staircase, there was a door whicli gave entrance to the basement floor. This could not have been the case here, for it would have cut the arcade. The cill of tlie south east door shows the flooi* of the first iloor chamber to have been slightl}^ raised, which was, no doubt, done when the vjiulting was inserted. There are two square holes in the floor, intended to give air to the main room below, and proljably late inser- tions. This storey was 12 ft. G in. high. From it seventeen steps in the well-staircase lead to a Tudor door into the second floor. The second floor is of the same dimensions with the first. In its south wall is a Tudor window, no doubt re- placing one of Norman date ; and in the north wall two windows, sqiiaredieaded, but in round-headed though not Norman recesses. In tlie east wall, besides the staircase door, is a Tudor fireplace, possibly only refaced in that style. This wall has been much altered and patched, and the fire-place is probably an insertion. In the west wall, at its nortli end, a door opens into a lateral chamber, above that appended to the first floor, and in it are two guardrobes. It has a square-headed loop to the north and three to the west, the centi'al one in a round-headed recess. On a level with this chamber, and probably opening from it, is a small chamber over the west lobby. This has a loop to the west, l)iit is not accessible. There is a similar chamber over tlie east lobby, but how entered does not appear. This second floor is 11 ft. 10 in. high, and from it nineteen ste{)s ascend to the floor above. Tlie third Jloor, also entered by a Tudor doorway from the staircase, is of the sa,me dimensions with the floor below. In the east wall is a, (lre[)la.(te, also Tudor, and ill (he wesi' wall, at tlu^ north end, a, s(pi;i re hcadinl door, opening into the third Iloor of (Jie a|tpcii(h'(l chainber.

The south wall of the main chamber has also a weathrr mouldiii!'', showino- that this wall was once a o-able, and that tlie keep had originally a high pitched roof with a central ridge. A. Tudor window has been inserted mto the wall, and cuts through the monlding. The north wall is pierced by two round-headed recesses, in which are trefoil-headed windows of one light, and apparently of Decorated date. There is no weather-moulding' at this end, one of the m;uiy indications that this wall lias been rebuilt. This lloor, like that below it, is 11 ft. 10 ins. high, and from it nineteen steps ascend to the battlen\ents, opening by a Tndor door at the stairhead. The stair ends in a rectangrdar turret, 15 ft. by 9 ft. The north-west turret, 8 it. by 10 ft., has Jio opening from the ramparts^ The two sonthern turrets are larger, and both have exterior staircases of twelve stairs leading to their flat roofs. The south-west turret is 15 ft. by 14 ft., and the south-eastern, not now acces- sible, is a])out 15. ft. sipiare. I'lie north and south walls are here 5 it. thick, two being occupied by the emi)attled })arapet. The east wall is 9 ft. thick, and contained a double chinniey Hue. The west wall is double, the inner 4 ft. thick, being the wall of the keep, and the outer 3 ft. to the wall of the a})pendage. The s])ace between, 5 ft. 8 in. broad, was covered by a llat roof, so that the rampa,rt liere was 12 ft. 8 in. broad wdthin the parapet. There were two embrasures on each face of the keep, and the roof last laid upon it was Hat. I'he keep seems originally to have been built by lloger do Lacy, 108() to 109G, as a plain T-shaped tower, u[)on aud a, [)art of (he curiain wall.

Ii('i';li(, rr LUDLOW CASTLE. 285 of the tower is not accessible. It seems to be 01:1 the pattern of the hrst floor, and is entered by an exterior staircase fi-om the sonth curtain, and on the other side has a guardrobe and passage opening upon the rampart of the west curtain, towards the postern tower. The bakehouse tower is Norman, and of the age of the keep. Its floors were of timber. The postern tower is spiked up and, inaccessible. It is about the size and height of the bakehouse tower, and of the same date, but its gorge was always closed. At the ground level a small door opens from the hmer ward, and there is a similar door on the north and outer face of the tower, which is the postern. Both are full centred and plain. This tower has no internal projec- tion. In the ward, close to the tower door, in a most inconvenient position, is the well, with a shaft worked roughly in the rock, 8 ft. in diameter. It is now partly choked up. The cross curtain from the postern is carried straight to the north-east angle of the ward, and thence turns south, till it abuts upon the keep. This Avail, though probably Norman, is not so old as the keep or main curtain, so that in the original castle the inner and middle ward seem to have been one. There is a round- headed door in the curtain near its north-east angle, which opens between the inner and middle ward. The middle luard is the most important division of the castle. In it are the domestic and state buildings, the cha})el, the kitchen, and the great gatehouse. The principal buildings occupy its north side, resting upon and forminrr the exterior curtain wall. Near the centre is the hall. This was a noble apartment, GO ft. long- by 30 ft. broad, and 35 ft. high to the springing corbels of its opeu tiujber roof Tlio r(\'Oss(\s for the hannuer beams remain, and the corbels ou wliich tlic princij)als rested. Owiug to the low springing of the inaln timbers the roof had from within the a])j)earance of a very high pitch, wiiich the water table shows not regally lo li;i\e l)cen the case. It is on the lirst floor, jukI approached LUDLOW CASTLE. ii'oin tlie court by a broad extenor staircase, opening ill the south wall near its ^\est or loAver end. In the north Avail are three lono- narrow windows of one liirht each, trefoiled, and crossed by a heavy transom, and in the east end of this side a small door leads, probably, into a guardrobe. The view from these windows is up the Teme and Corvedale. Tn the south wall are three large windows looking upon the court. They are of two lights, trefoiled, and crossed by a transom. Their recesses have e(|uilaterally arched heads, and the angles are replaced by filleted beads. One window only lias a stone seat. The great door, towards the west end of this side, matches with the window recesses, though a little lower. In the west end are two buttery doors of uneijual size, and at the north-west corner a door opens, as at Pembroke, into a well stair to the roof. In the east end of the hall, near the north-east corner, and high up, is a combined door and window — a sort of hatch, by means of which those in the upper state room could either look into the hall or step down into tlie gallery that ran across above the dais. The central south \N'indow has been blocked up, and converted into a late Tudor fireplace. No doubt the original grate, as at Penshurst, stood in the middle of the hall. West of the hall is the buttery toiccr, a very hne group, which occupied the north-west angle of the ward. Piirt of it projects boldly, and ca.])s the north-western aiigle of the curtain. The j)art within the ward is also rectangular. The part connected with the curtain is Norman, and was a large rectangular tower with an open gorge. In its l)ase are two round headed door- ways, now nearly buried, whence mural passages led to guardrobes in the curtain, l^lie older [)art has })een raised, and a pointed arcii turned, and upon it a wall buiU, clusiiw the a'oru'e at the secMnid lloor. This tower has had large additions on its iiuier (ace, and is now a part only of the building ol' which the basement seems to have ])een a stoi'e ; and the; hrst lioor, i'ccl by '17 feet, a serving-room and buttery altadied (o (he hall. LUDLOW CASTLE. 287 This room was entered by a side-door on the great hall staircase, so tiiat the dishes were broiiij,'ht from the kitchen up the great stair, l^iit not through tlie great door of the hall. In the l)utteiy is a large fireplace. At the other or east end of tlie lial] are the stnfe rooms, contained within a grand and lofty structure, i-ectangnlar in plan, and projecting beyond the hall, Whether the foundations are Norman, or whetlier, like the superstructure, the whole is oi* Decorated date, is doubtful. The material is excellent aslilar. Tliere are a basement and t wo upper floors. In the hrst is a grand iireplace ; but the principal a])artments were on the second lloor. The door and ^vindow openings are nume- I'ous and varied. Some are excellent Decorated, with lancet and segmental arches; others are insertions in Horid Perpendicular ; and others, in wretched taste and of base materials and workmanship, are of Tudor date. T'he u[)per room has also a large firt^.place, and the abutments of the hood are two carved heads. The nortli window is of one lio'ht, and of cjreat lenoftli, divided by transoms. The south window is of similar character, but has two lights. This upjuM; room had an o|)en rool oi* low j)itch, supported by ( hi'oc^ pairs oCprin - cipals.

It is composed of a basement and four upper floors. The basement is occupied by several guardrobes, the sj^acious outlets of which have already been described. The upper floors seem to he connected with the state rooms, and in the walls are many small chambers not accessible. The windows are of one light., trefoiled, usually with a tran.som. Between this building and the hall, projecting outside the cur- tain, is a nudtangular turret containing a staircase. The north-eastern tower caps the angle of the ward. It ]s rectangular in plan and of Norman date. It forms a part of the two curtains of the middle and outer war*], standing upon eacli. In its base a door leads into a mural passage in the east curtain, now blocked up with rubbi.sh, and in its first floor is a guardrobe in tlie nortli wall. The kitchen, wholly of Decorated date, is a large rectangular building, placed against the wall of tlie inner ward, but free on the other tliree sides. It has two large windows to the east, and an excellent door in the noiili wall, oj>|)osite to the hall .stairciise. The jlant-iiicr of the lloor remains, and iiarts ofthelarije lire- ]jlace on the west side, with a couple of small side ovens. It has had divers Perpendicular additions. The back kitchen was to the west, and it is probable that a breach in the adjacent wall of the inrier ward represents a late doorway, communicating with tlie well and the great oven. The (/(Uchousc is approached from the middle v.aid by a Ijj idge over the ditcli, of which the inner end was broken by a dniwbridge flanked by walls with loops. The gateway has a low-pointed arch, on a taiilet above which are the arms of Elizabeth and those of Sir Iteniy Sydney, with the date IfiBI. As the ctutain is 7 ft. thick, and bondeilasters in the actual archway su[)porting the middle rib. Hiis arch and that of the door have become slightly flattened by settlement, as is shown by the gaping of the soffit joints near the crown. The east face of this arch is quite plain, sa\'e that the abacus is returned. The original chancel, 42 ft. long, had a high j)itched roof, and there is a mark of a second and later one less steep. The side walls are gone. The curtain formed tlu^ east wall, and has no window. Outside, the nave is divided into two stages by a billeted string, on which the windows rest, and which is considerably above tlie top of the dooi-. Above is a plain battlement of no ])rojection, with embrasures one half the breadth of the merlons. Two arclies of the nave arcade have been piei'ccd for Tu(h)r \\ind()ws, and a, third, to the north, has l»cca converted into a doorway. 'Hie north Avindow has also been made a doorway, and it is evident that a light galleiy of two stages Avas laid from tlu^ domestic apart- ments to the cha[)(d, the uppei' opc^.ning on the circular gaUery.

The OUTER WARD. — Tlie (jateJiousc has been much altered and mutilated. In front it presents tlie appear- ance of a gateway, with a low pointed arch, in a curtain about G ft. tliick and 35 ft. high, of whicli the merlons are pierced by plain loops. On each side the gate is a Hanking wall 3 ft. thick, and projecting 8 ft., which, no doubt, covered the drawl)ridge. The arch looks De- corated, as is probably the curtain, thouglL the battle- ments are probably modern. The ditch has been idled up, and large trees grow along its course. The only buildings in this ward are placed against the curtain, and have already been noticed. There is no evidence, material or by record, of any castle here before the Norman conquest. The how or Mound known to have been removed from the church- yard, and the memory of which is preserved in the name of the town, is the only ancient earthwork con- nected with the place, and was, no doubt, se])ulc]iral. The original Norman castle seems to have stood on the present lines. It was composed of a kee]), placed close to the eritrance, and forming a part of the cncc'intc. Westward, the keep was connected l>y a short curtain with the south-west or bakehouse tower, rectanguku-, of moderate size, and havino- its innei- face or o-oru'e open. From thence the curtain passed at right angles northwards along the edge of the rock to a second tower, also rectangular, and containing a postern. From thence, still alono- the ed^e of the rock, the curtain, probably 25 ft. high, reacheti the north-west angle, where it was capped by a tower nearly rectangular, but placed diagonally, so as to ca,[) tbe angle, and wbich was open in the rear. Tbence tbe curt;i.in passed east- wards, along the north iront, to (lu*. norlb-east anaroil, and ,sla,bli\s A\cao buiU- in owici ward. The exlinc- tion ol the Council ol' Wales and the civil wars put a LUDLOW CASTLE. 293 stop to any outlay upon the place, and for some time it seems to have been freely pillaged, until it became a complete ruin, without floors, or roofs, or any kind of Uttings in lead, iron, or timber. Of late years it has been so far cared for as to be protected against all injuries save those of time and weather^ while at the same time it is freely open to all visitors. What is wanted for antiquarian purposes is that the mural passages should be cleared out, and a plan made of each floor. HISTORY. Ludlow is apparently a purely Norman fortress. Its earthworks, such as they are, or were, have nothing in common, either in position or character, with the hill forts of British origin, so common in that district, neither do they at all resemble the later and English works attributed to yEthelfla3d and her countrymen in the ninth or tenth centuries, and of which Wigmore, "Richard's Castle, and Shrewsbury are adjacent types. In plan, indeed, Ludlow" is not unlike those works by which headlands and promontories on the sea shore wei'o frequently defended, it is su])posed, by the Scandinavian sea kings, and of wliicli the entrenchment at Flamborough Head is the finest example on record ; but these are seldom, if ever, found far iidand, nor is there anything in the two concentric segments of ditches, which constitute, or did formerly constitute, the eartli works of Ludlow, inconsistent with the notion that they are Norman works. There is no mention of ludlow in Domcsda}/, but that record gives three j^laces in tlio district bearing tlio name of Lude, of wliicli one, Ix^longing tlicn to Osljcnic b'itz-Uicliard, is dcinonsl i a( ed by J\lr. hlyloii to b(^ the later Ludlow.

Lude or lud is thought by the same autlior to mean a " ford as by a common pleonasm in the adjacent " Ludford The two other Ludes were distinguished by the names of their lords, and known as Lude-Muchgros and Lude-Sancy. Mr. Eyton has further shown, almost to demonstra- tion, that Fitz-Ilichard's tenant in Lude was the much more considerable Eoger de Lacy, and that when he decided here to build a castle, he obtained the lordship from Fitz-liicliai'd, and founded the castle within ten years after the survey, or about 1 08G-109G. rioger was a good type of a Marcher lord. In 1088 he was in re- beJlion against Willituii Rufus, on belialf of Courtliose, and again in 1095, when lie took part in the Mowbray rising, was exiled, and so died. Rufus allowed his estates to pass to his next brother, Hugh, who, however, died childless between 1108-1 121, when the estates fell to the Crown by escheat. Henry I granted Ludlow to Pagan Fitz-John, who also held Ewias Lacy, and who was slain by tlie Welsli in 1136, leaving no male issue. Stephen seems to have seized his lands, and to have placed as Castellan in Ludlow a certain Sir Joyce or Gotso de Uinan, evidently a Breton knight. Shortly afterwards Joyce was in re- bellion, for in A})ril 1139, Ste|)hen, accom]janied by Prince Henry of Scotland, laid siege to the castle, and constructed a^-ainst it two counter-forts It was at this siege that Stephen rescued Prince Henry, by his personal strength, from the grasp of a grap[)ling iron, thrown over him as they wallvcd rather too near to the walls. It would seem that the Castle was not taken. Joyce's most dangerous foe was his neighbour, Hugh de iMortimer of Wigmorc^, of wliom ho olUaiiicd posses- sion by iiu\)i)S ol* an ambush, and dciaijicd hiiu prlsi)ner ill tJic (Jastle; a tovv(n' of wliicli has been su[)p()sed by its naiiio to connnemoratc this e\eut. rloycc dicMl, alst) widioul, m;ile issue, al)Ou(. al'lcr wliirli c^xeiil Ib^iny II gave or [(^stored Ludlow (o llu^li dr I^ary, ;i LUDLOW CASTLE. 295 descendant, tlioiigli not in the male Lne, from tlie former family ; Emma, the sister of lioger and Hugli de Lacy having hcen tlie mother of a certain Gilbert, who took his mother's name, and died 1 135, leavin£{ Iluo'h de Lacy the new grantee of Ludlow. This Hugh; who was a very powerful lord in L'eland, held both Ludlow and Ewias, and was Gustos of Dtdjlin. Henry II feared his po\^'er, and in 1181 seized u])on Ludlow. Hugh was assassinated in Ireland in 1185, and loft \Yalter, his son and heir, to wiiom Henry, in 1189, restored his father's lands ; but seems to have retained tlie Gastle and tower of Ludlow, which he transmitted to King John, to whom, in 120G, Walter de Lacy paid four hundred marks, to be reinstated at Ludlow. John, however, again seized the Gastle in 1207, and gave it in charge to William de Braose, and for a time to Phili[) de Albini, and then to Thomas de Erdington. Nor did the king restore it till 121-1, when Ingelram de Gygoigne was directed to render it up, which he did, though unwillingly. Walter, like his I'ather, was chiefly occupied in Ireland. In 1224 he gave up Ludlow to William de Gammages ; no doubt to hold as a pledge for his own isood conduct. He died in 1241, leavino- Walter, his grandson, as his heir, who died under age. Walter left two sisters, of whom Matilda married, first, Peter de Genev^a, one of the Lrovengal favourites of Henry HI, and who had the custody of Ludlow.

By STANLEY LEIGIITON, M.A. (Continued from p IGG of Vol. V.) TOWN HALL AN J) rULLlU OFFICES. The public buildings of Oswestry are liardly worthy of the antiquity of the town. They are situated on the Bailey Head " as it is called, which is a quadrangle in the immediate vicinity of the Castle hill. What little appears in the Corporation records concerning these buildings shall be briefly noticed. When the last two of the four ancient town gates were taken down in 1782 it was ordered that the stone should be used for erecting a convenient prison. The building represented in the lithograph was then erected, and two prison cells were provided. The records of the town are deposited in this building in an iron safe, and a curious coffer studded with large nails made out of the trunk of a single tree, evidently an early mimiment box of the Corporation, is also kept here. A figure of St. Oswald carved in stone after the design of the town seal is in the centre of the stone portion of the building; on either side are brick wings. Here are now the 'J'own Clerk's ofblces, the Guildhall, and the Mayor's room. Tlie Sessions and Courts leet of the Lord of the l\[anor used to be held in what is now called the " Powis Hall this building, Avith the clock tower, a j^ortion of which appears in the litliogra])h, occuj^ies one side of the (juadi-anglo of the Bailey J lead, and is tla^ presiMit corn nia,rk(;t. 'I'horoom where t he Scissions and ( 'ounty ( /ourt are now held is said to liave been occu|)ied oiiginally as a, pl:u'(^ of meeting for (lie Wesleyans, aftc^rw ;inls for W(^1sb services of the (yhurcli of luigland, and aftcr- Voi.. vr. ^ Al2 i 1^ 300 THE RECORDS OF THE wards for a school. The site of tiie Powis Hall, as its name indicates, belonged to the Earls of Powis as Lords of the Manor. It was given to the town hy the present ]Larl of L^owis and his fatlicr in 1S39, on the occasion of the coniiuLT of ao-e of the former. In 1877 the West front of the Gaildhall, which is represented in tlie second lithograph, was re-edified. The following in- scriptions, carved in stone, appear in different parts of these buildings : — On the Guildhall, Pohco Establishment mdcccxxx.

It will be remembered that Oswestry had the right to send its prisoners to Shrewsbury gaol, so that the prison here was merely a lock-up. The police force consisted of one officer paid out of the rates <£40 a year, 2 sergeants at mace not paid for police duties, and 15 tradesmen who received no remuneration appointed by the ]\Iayor for the time beino;.

From the year 1819 to the year 1835 copies of tlie petitions presented to Parliament by- the Corporation have been preserved in the Books. In 1819 a petition was presented to Parliament from the Corporation and other inhaljitants in favotn* of such alteration in the Insolvency Act which would vest in magistrates a power for recovery of small debts by summary proceedure. This object is now ellected through the County Court. 1819. A petition was presented from the Cor]:)oration and otlier inhabitants in reference to tlie Coal Tax.

The origin of this gallant sailor seems to be involved ill a certain degree of mystery, for, tlioagli it is known that lie was born about the year 1G50, many biographers disagree as to his parentage in a somewhat remarkable uianner. Owen and Blakeway, in their invaluable Ilis- torij of SJtrcivshiD'i/, assert that he was the son of one William Benbow, tanner, of Coton Hill, Shrewsbury, and nephew of Captain (sometimes styled Colonel) John Benbow, who was shot at Shrewsbury Castle, October 15th, 1651, for the active part which he took in the battle of Worcester, and for his adherence to the Royal Cause. There can be little doubt that this is correct, although in the Shropshire Gazetteer he is described as descended from a very ancient worthy family, though Ills father, Colonel John Benbow, and most of his rela- tions, were much reduced by their loyal adlierence to the cause of King Charles L,and by tlie readiness they showed to assist King Charles 11., in endeavouring to recover his rights." In Lives of the Most E)iii)ient British Nacal Heroes, a volume ]:>uljlished about a century ngo, the Ibllowiiig story is given : — Jolm Benbow Avas the son of Colonel John l)enbou', who distini^uishccl himself at the battle of WorcestiT, in tlie royal army, and being taken prisoner by Cromwell, narrowly oscaj^ied being ])ut to death. During the nS(U'|)ation ho lived in retu'c- ment in the country, and at (he I'l^storation he was glad to accept of a small ollice belonging to the ordnani^e in 'J'owor, which was barely sullicicnt (o sul)sist himself and Ids fandly without- dang(!r of starving, lie was in this situat ion, when, a little before the; breakiuLi" out ol' the tirsi hutch war, (he kin«/ came to the 'i'ower to examine the maL;a/.iiu^s. 'J'lic king 334 ADAIIRAL JOIIX DENEOAV. recognised him, and immediately wont ip and embraced liim. saying, " My old friend Colonel Denbow, what do you do hero .' ' I have, replied tlie colonel, a place of fourscore pounds a year, in which I serve your majesty as chearfully as if it brought u\c in four thousand. Alas ! ' said the king, is that all th:\i could be found for an old friend at Worcester ? Coloiitl Legge, bring this gentleman to mc to-morrow, and I will provide for him and his family as it becomes me." Lut tho colonel did not live to receive the effects of this promise, beini; so overcome with the king's condescension, that, sittmg down on a bench, he breathed his last before the king was well out of the Tower. It does not appear that Ids f:\mily derived any benetit from his majest3''s beneficent intentions. The register ot St. Child's parish, however, disposes of this story by showing the burial of "• John Benbow, Captaine, who was shot at the Castle" on the IGth of October, 1G51, and who was, without any reasonable (h»ubt, the uncle of the futme admiral. He, the worthy and valiant stdjject of this memoir, appears to have had naturally a roving disposition and a strong inclination for tlie sea. He was \\'isely brought up in accordance with these tastes, and we hear of liis entering the Merchant Service at an early age, and working in an energetic manner at his profession. When only thirty years of age he became master and part-owner of a vessel called the Benl)0\v Fri-'ate, and eni^ai-ed in tho ]\ led i terra nean trade, at that time an undertakiriLT of some danger owing to the number of Moorish pirates which infested those waters. Tn the year KJSG this sliip was attacked by one of these Sal lee Bovers, and, though much inferior to tlie enemy in nund)crs, he fouglit with tlie utmost gallantrv uidil at last tho pirates b(».Mrded hlin. llillviiiL;- his I'ji^bsh s;dl(»rs round him, ('aptain Jicniiow (lri)\e ihc Monrs back, hiavihg tliirteen of ibcir ninul»rr dead on his dock.

Caesar, tlirow tiieni down on the table, and, gentlemen, if you like them, they are at your service." This elegant repast, (/ la Tydeus or Ugolino, does not seem to liave been accepted ])y tlie S[)aniards, but they were so struck by the valiant defence thus made tangil^K,' to themselves, that they sent an account ot-liic whole adventure to the King, Charles 11. of S])ain, w ho was so delighted that, on his expressing a wisli to see the gaUant Salopian, lie journeyed to Aladrid, vvliere he was rcMjeived with every mark of resj)e('t, and (lismisscd with a ItON'al donation and a letter to King James of Kng- land, which resulted in iijnb jw's ap[)jintment to a vessel in the Koyal navy. Cwen and BLdveway give a descri[)tion of an interesting relic in the possession of the descendants of the Admiral, as IbUovvs: — '' "J'his is a kind of cu]), or punch-bowl, edged with silver, on which is erigraved ' The Jir.-^t adci'idiirc of C ( !>fain J oltn Bcuhif, and (jiff iO Ric/iurd Ridle.}/,^ ](i87.'

His attack in 1G93 on St. Malo, a town wliich, from its pro[)inqnity to the Channel Islands, is well known to English lioliday-makers of the present day, is tlins described in the old book before meritioned : — lie arrived off the town on the IGth of November, and anchoring' within half a mile of it, cannonaded and bombarded it for three days suceessivL'ly. Tluai Jiis nien landed on an island, where they burned a convent. On the IDtli, they took the advantage of a darlc ni-iit, a fiesli L^alc, and a strong tide, to S(>nd in a iiroslu[) of a ])artiL'ular contrivance, stiled the Infernal, in order to burn the town ; tut, she struck upon a rock before she arrived at tlic place, and the engineer was obliged to set her on tire, and retreat. She continued burning for some time, and at last blew up, with such an explosion as shook tlie whole town like an cartlupiake. unrooi'iHl three hundred houses, and bi'olie all the glass and earthenware for three leagues around. A ca[)Stan, that weighed two lumdred pounds, ^vas transported into the [tlace, and falling u])on a house, levelled it to the gr(am(l : the greatest ]>art of the wall towards the sea tumbh^d down; and the inliabitants were ovcrwhelnied with consiernation : so that a small numl.ier of troo[)s might have taken jiossession without resistance; but there was not a soldier on foai'd.

In Jinie, lGi.)8, he visited his native town, and was entertained during the j\la}'oralty of itobert ^Sheppard, as is shown by the provision of sack, sherry, and claret paid for by the Shrewsbury Corporation for that pm-pose. In November, IGLI8, he was despatched to tiie West Indies, to watch Ijoth the Spanish settlements and galleons, and to report to King William III. their* condition. By his lirmness and courage he righted mLiny grievances, and obtained the restitution of several merchant ships which the S^^aniards had seized; and it was in recognition of these services that he was pro- moted to be Vice- Admiral of the IJlue, rcceivhig, accord- ing to some autliorities, three arrows, in addition to the three bent ])ows, upon his coat of arms.

The French, who were thoroughly aware of tlie vahie to them of the S[)anish })ossessions, at once sent three squadi'ons to intercej)t t.he JJritish vessels, and two of these squadrons forming a junction near St. Domingo, Admiral Benbow retired to Jamaica, which he eifectually ])r()tcct.ed.

Forming line of battle, Benbow waited for his ships astern to fall into their places, not wisliino- to attack until he had the vessels nnder his command in good positions, but the French rear com- menced fnin''-, and Benbow was oblici'cd to eno'aa'e. Night was ra[)idly ap[)roaching when the fight com- menced, but to Benbow's disgust two of the leading ships mider his command, the '' Defiance " and Wind- sor," retired out of gunshot after receiving a few broad- sides, and exposed tlie Admiral to a most severe fire until dark, when the action necessarily ceased. Much enra(^»'ed, the o-allant Admiral chano-ed his tactics, and determined to lead altogether himself, trusting to shame his cowardly subordinates into supporting him. Early on ti e morning of the 21st, therefore, the Admirafs ship attacked the whole force of the enemy, unsup[K)rted by any of his scpiadron except the " Iluby," a 48-gun vessel under the connuand of Captain Walton. The 20th had been ])assed in (piietness, neither side altaclving, but the two ab()\'e named vessels only lemaining together. The " iluby " was speedily disabled, and ielt in such a shattered condition that slie had to sheer oil' and make for Jamaica. On the next day the "Greenwich" was iive leagues astern of the Admirals \'e^sel, and the wind changing, gave the e'lieniy an ad\ antage ; but the " Fal- moutli " (Captain ViiiriMil) \\ hu-h ^liuuld ha\ e been in the rear ol"tiie s(piadr()ii, was tiie only ship now ni company with t lie ! )rr(lah."

The next day, with one of liis legs sliattered to pieces by a chain shot, he continued the light, remaining on tlie quarter-deck slung in ii hannnock in spite of his wound ; and, thus fighting to the last, Admiral Benbow ke])t up an engagement that should make his name for undainited bravery memorable in the annals of our country. In the midst of the action, when he was wounded, one of the oiKcers in his shi[) expressed his sorrow fur the loss of his leg. The re[)]y was characteristic—" i am sorry for it too; but 1 had rather have lost tliem botli tlian have seen this (bshonour brought u[)oii tlie Kiigiisl) nation. But, do you hear, if another shot should take me oil, behave like brave men, and light it out." How he entered into the spirit of that fine old ballad of " Sir Andrew Barton !" — Fight on, fight on, my merry men all, A little I am hurt yet not slain, ['11 but lye down and bleed a while, And come and light with you again. If his inferiors had only ])ossessed the same heroic sj^irit, what might they have not accomplished ! 'fhey, how- ever, contented themselves by pouring a broadside into one of tlie enemy's shi[)S, which was aJi'eady a wreck, and then -ran to leeward, paying no attention to signals. TliO enemy, seeing their :i,dv;intag(^, attacked the Ad- miral's vessel CH masse, (hunaging her so nuich that slie was obliged to lie by to refit, while the French towed off their disabled ship. At this interval he called a council of the offending captains, but, after expostulating with them, Kirkby told him he had " better desist, as the French were very strong, and from what was ])ast he might guess he could make nothing of it." Berceiving there was nothing hut tri^athery or in- ca,j)a(;ity to be ex|)(H;tcMl of those uudrr hini, l^enhow, himsfdf sorely wounded in the arm and fiu'o ;is well as leg, put back icduclaiil ly (o.lamaica, w hori>, il is said, Jie receivcul a hitter from Ihe hVeiich Adniirah recom ADMIKAL JOHN BENBOW. 341 monding liini to liang liis subordinates, as they liciily (L^soi-N'ed it. and, at tlie same time, \vith a brave nian's Irank a])]ireeiatioii of his o])])onent's gahantry, expressing !;is satistaL'tiou that he had been disa})polnted of " sup- ping in liis cabin."

Wilham AVhitston, liear-i\(hniral of her Majesty's ships for the West India S([uadron, was president. The fohowing was the result : — Kirkby of the ' Defiance ' and AVade of the ' Greenwich' were condemned to death, sent prisoners to England, and shot on board ship at Plymouth luider a dead warrant for their innnediate execution; Constable of the ' Windsor' was sentenced to be cashiered, dis- missed the service, and imprisoned din'ing the lioyal pleasure ; Hudson of the ' Pendennis ' died a few days before the trial, or would probably have been sentenced with Kirkby, who appears to have been the ringleader of the alfair. In ' An Account of the Arraii>-nments and Try alls of Colonel llichard Kirkby, Ca])tain John Constable, Captain Cooper Wade, Captain Samuel Vincent, and (^Viptain Christo[)her Fogg, printed for Cliarles Green, Near Fleet Street, 1703,' it was deposed that 'aljout fonr the fight began, but the said Kirkby did not fire above three broadsides, tlien luHed up out the line, and out of gun-sliot, leaving tlie Admiral engaged with two French ships 'till dark, and the said Kirkby received no damage; that his beliaviour caused great fear of his desertion, at night tlie said Kirkl)y iMl astern, leaving the Admiral to pursue the enemy.' And again when Ca])tain Vincent, ' Seeing tlie be- haviour of Kirkby and the rest, came up with the Admiral and sent his lieutenant on board desiring lea,ve to assist him, which was accepted ; the said Kirkby ne\'(^r comiiig up, and I)) his cxaniph^ ilio rest did tbc sa,me, as if tbcy bad a design (o saci ihcc Admira.l and ' l<\dmouth ' to tbi^ cuaany, or desia'l.'

Fogg was Com- mander of the Admiral's sliip, and, with A incent of the * Fahnouth,' ap[)ears to have behaved well." Oji his arrival at Jamaica Adim'ral Jienbow was obliged to have auiputat ion performed upon his shat- tered leg ; and this o])eration, together Avitli his vexation at the whole aifair, threw him into a fever, from whicli he expired on the 4th of Novemljer, 1702. The remains of the gallant Admiral were interred at Jamaica, and a tombstone, bearing the following inscription, "was placed over tliem : — " Here lyeth Interred the Body of J olm Eenbow, Esq'"^ Admiral of the White, a true jnittern of English courage, wlio lost his life In Defence of liis Qiiucue and (Jountry, November 4tii^ ]702, In the ;'32"'' year of his age, by a wound in his LcLi'Lf, lieccivLMl In an En'_ca clement with Mons'' Du Cassc; being much Lamented."

ADMIRAL JOHN BENBOW. 343 The inscription is as follows : — Erected by [)ublic subscription, to commemorate the Services oi John Lenbow, Esq., Vice Admiral of the Bhie, A skilful and daring seaman, Whose heroic exploits long rendered him the boast of. the Ih'itish Navy, And still point him out as the Nelson of his time. He was born at Coton Hill, in this Parish, and died at Kingston, Jamaica, November 4th, 1702, aged 51 years, Of wounds received in his memorable action, With the Erench Squadron, oh' Carthagena, in the West Indies, Eouglit on the l*Jth, and hve following days, Of August, in that year. Thus perished Admiral Benbow, a good man and true, and one who, but for the extraordinary and inipre- cedented treachery and cowardice of those under his command, might have lived to cover himself with yet more laurels. The behaviour of his squadron captains seems unaccountable, and can only be traced to that i'eeling of antagonism which unfortunately prevailed at this time between the regular "old salts" and the "line gentlemen" of whom Sir Anthony Deane said that tlioy ''must lia\e all their eifeminate acconmioda- tions, and would not submit to the fatio'ue which those who w^ere bied seamen would undergo." J>enbow coidd not understand or appreciate tliis. He had no patience wdth an eifeminate olllcer who jxissed liis inglorious existence, like Bci'anger's Hoi (TYvetot, " dormant fort l)ien sans gloire." indeed the Admiral seems to liave been an honest but rougli sailor, and, believing thoroughly in serving his country and compelling those under him to do tlic same, it is j)robable that his treatment of liis caj)tains was severe at Jamaica when lie found they were not as ready to obey orders as he wished. Hence in all probability the plot which cost him, as well as some of the cons[)irators, their lives. Tlie house on Coton IHIP still bears liis name, and on one of the ' Tlu; ( /( /i//<'//i(-. iiijcZ.
