PREFACE. 
 
 In editing these Registers I have added such items of information as I 
 could gather relating to the families of those whose names Occur therein, 
 and also regarding the different Acts of Parliament by which entries 
 in Registers have been affected, so as to give the book more historical 
 interest. One of the chief motives that induced me to undertake the task 
 of putting the Registers into print was a desire that the inhabitants of 
 the parish should be able, if they wished, to feel more personal interest 
 in it and the families that have resided here. In these days people 
 very easily forget that the same work has been going on, the same houses 
 occupied, the same relative duties fulfilled by former generations, who 
 were of just as much importance and as necessary to fulfil them as those 
 who are fulfilling them now. 
 
 By the kindness of the Bence Family I give a very full statement of 
 their pedigree. They have been an influential family in this neigh- 
 bourhood for more than three hundred years, dating their recorded 
 history from the time when they were the most important of the in- 
 habitants of Aldborough, and have held the chief portion of the property 
 in this parish since 1691, when they bought the estate of the Coke 
 Family, who were the previous owners. In that portion of their pedigree 
 relating to the Rev. Thomas Bence, Rector of Kelsale-cum-Carlton, who 
 died 1757, the descendants of Catherine, who married Gabriel Trusson, 
 and whose daughter Catherine married Anthony Collet, are represented 
 now by the Rev. Anthony Collett, Rector of Hastingleigh in Kent. 
 
 I am able also, by the kindness of F. A. Crisp, Esq., to give a 
 photo-lithographic copy of an old engraving of Thorington Church, 
 copied from a volume of drawings of Suffolk Churches made by Isaac 
 Johnson of Woodbridge between 1793 and 1816. 
 
 I thought it of interest also to give the names of the Rectors of the 
 parish, and, as I have stated elsewhere, Dr. Bensly, the Diocesan Regis- 
 trar, has enabled me, at much inconvenience and trouble to himself, to 
 give a complete list of all the Rectors from December 1331, the date of 
 the first recorded institution, to the present day, by which I learn that 
 
VI PREFACE). 
 
 I am the fifty-third recorded Eector in direct succession from the insti- 
 tution of Jo'es Fowas de Donewyco. The Priory of Blythburgh held the 
 patronage of the church and rectory before this date, as in their charter, 
 dated in the last year of Eichard I., the gift of the advowson and of land 
 in the parish to the Priory by William, son of Walter de Sadenfield is 
 referred to. I have, however, in my possession an old Chartulary of the 
 Priory in which this gift is mentioned as having been made by Galf ride de 
 Beletone, and afterward confirmed by William de Sadenfield. Fourteen 
 pages of this Chartulary relate to Thorington, and a copy of the first page, 
 which contains the record of this gift of Galfride de Beletone, I have had 
 taken by photo-lithographic process by Mr. Griggs of Peckham, and have 
 added it to this book. The Historical Manuscripts Commission of the 
 Rolls House have examined this Chartulary, and will give a notice of it in 
 the Report they present to Parliament next year. The Rectors from the 
 date of this gift to the institution of Jo'es Fowas are not recorded in the 
 books of the Diocesan Registry, and, as the tower and walls of the body of 
 the church are of Early Norman date, it seems tolerably certain that the 
 fabric has been in existence at least since 1130, so that two hundred 
 years of the early ecclesiastical history of the parish leave no traces of 
 the Rectors that officiated here. 
 
 The Registers of this parish are not the only Suffolk Registers that 
 are published. Those of Tannington and Ellough have already been 
 printed, and those of Brundish and Carlton (by Kelsale) are in the 
 printers' hands, and I think that increased interest in the past history of 
 our parishes would be encouraged by a wider publication of these records. 
 
 I have added an Appendix of names entered since 1882, for I have 
 taken longer time in publishing the book than I anticipated, and the type, 
 after a sufficient number of copies had been printed, was broken up. I 
 have brought the entries down to the latest possible date.

 RECTORS OF THORINGTON. 
 
 On the inside of the cover and on the first page of the First Register Book there is. 
 a list of Rectors from the year 1593 to the present time, with the exception of Samuel 
 Ledys, 1610-12 ; but as by the kindness of W. T. Bensly, Esq., LL.D., Deputy-Regis- 
 trar of the Diocese, I am able to give a correct list of all the Rectors from the first 
 recorded Institution in 1332, I prefer giving this completed list to merely copying 
 those in the Thorington Register Book. To Dr. Bensly's courtesy the completeness 
 and correctness of this list of Rectors is entirely due. Free access to the Institution 
 Books and unlimited time for examination was liberally allowed me, and the list 
 when completed received his supervision and corrections. 
 
 This list is taken from Tanner's MS. in the Norwich Diocesan Registry, down to 
 the institution of Robert Smith, A.d. 1484, and compared with the entries made in 
 the Institution Books in the same Registry, from which quotations, when made, are 
 inserted in brackets. After the institution of Robert Smith, where the list in 
 Tanner's MS. terminates, all the extracts are made from the Institution Books, 
 which commence a.d. 1299. 
 
 The ' Tanner's MS.' or ' Norwich Domesday Book ' which is here referred to, is a 
 large folio volume of nearly a thousand pages, written in Latin, in modern Gothic 
 character. It is a survey of all the parishes of the Diocese of Norwich with the 
 temporalities and spiritualities of the Priors and Monks and other religious houses 
 in the several parishes. It gives an account of all the livings in the Diocese, pro- 
 curations, synodals, and other payments, at some unstated date ; but internal evidence 
 proves that it commenced about the beginning of and continued nearly to the end of 
 the fifteenth century. — Vide First Report of the Historical MSS. Commission, 1870, 
 page 87. 
 
 [The bequest of Bob. Hoo, dated 1508, implies that its continuation entered on the 
 sixteenth century. — T. S. £T.] 
 
4 NOTICES OF THORINGTON. 
 
 One omission of Institution, when Francis Kynaston beeame Rector, will be 
 noticed A.D. 1620, but this omission is rectified by the Register Book of this Parish, 
 where "Francis Kynnaston, Rector Ecclesise de Thorington," is "writ large." The 
 omission is supposed to have arisen from the confusion consequent on Bishop Jegon s 
 death in 1617 and his successor's, Bishop Overall, in 1619, for the Institution Books 
 are for four or five years at that time not accurately kept. 
 
 To Colonel Chester, LL.D., Editor of the ' "Westminster Abbey Registers,' I am 
 indebted for the University status of most of the later Rectors. 
 
 Instead of placing notes at the bottom of the page I insert them in Italics 
 immediately following the passages referred to.

 Bishop of Chester, Author of work on the 
 Creeds, etc. This, however, is an error, as 
 John Peirson was dead in 1646, and the name 
 is spelt differently. John Pearson, D.D., was 
 instituted to Terrington St. Clement, co. Nor- 
 folk, in 1660, and in the Index of Institutions 
 to parishes held in " Union,' 1 '' referring to John 
 Peirson' s dispensation to hold Thorington with 
 Bramfield, Terrington has been erroneously

 for the mistake made by Mr. Kitson, Bishop's

 He was patronised by the Blois family, and was sent to Cambridge by a subscription among 
 his friends. He was possessed of a considerable degree of humour, which appeared in several 
 instances while he was at Cambridge. The following was told me (Aug. 1823) by Eev. fm.

 Browne of Marlesford, who was his nephew : — A large party was expected to dine with the 
 Master of Caius College one day, and as was usual, the preparations for the purpose were made 
 early in the day. Symonds contrived to get unobserved into the Hall, and collecting all the forks 
 laid for the guests, stuck them in and about the carving over the Master's chair representing the 
 arms of the College. This was not observed till the dinner was served, and when the guests 
 found that no forks were provided for them, the Master took the butler severely to task for his 
 neglect, and threatened to discharge him from his situation ; and he could not be pacified till 
 some one observed how they had been employed, when the joke produced a general laugh, 
 and luckily the author escaped for that time undiscovered, and of course avoided punishment, 
 though the butler afterwards found out who it was who was so nearly the cause of his dismission. 
 
 On another occasion he had a still narrower escape from a severe castigation. The Dean of 
 the College, whose duty it was to read prayers in Chapel, had a very peculiar mode of reading, 
 and that a very disagreeable one. One afternoon Symonds, who sat nearly under him, and who 
 was a good mimic, made the responses in a tone and manner so exactly resembling the Dean as 
 to produce more than a smile among all the auditors. This was an ofEence too flagrant to be 
 overlooked ; he was accordingly convened before the Master, who severely reprimanded him for 
 the impropriety and indecency of his conduct, and declared his intention of inflicting a very 
 severe punishment upon him. Symonds, with all due respect, requested to be heard in his 
 defence, and having received permission, stated that he had been sent to college by a subscrip- 
 tion of his friends, with the intention that he should qualify himself for Orders, that he had 
 come to the College with the determination of paying every attention to what he should hear 
 and see, and to guide himself accordingly, that though the mode in which the Dean read the 
 service in Chapel was certainly different from what he had been accustomed to hear, yet that he 
 thought that he was bound to consider it the proper mode, and had endeavoured to the best of 
 his power to imitate it, and that if he had judged wrong, he had not erred intentionally, and was 
 very sorry for it ; that this was the sole motive for his conduct, and he should be very sorry if 
 he had offended the Dean, or had been guilty of any impropriety towards the College. This was 
 all said with so much apparent earnestness and simplicity as to remove the Master's anger who 
 dismissed him with a caution that he did not in future subject himself to a similar reprehension 
 
 The son of Barnabas Symonds, who was brought up to the study of physic, and practised 
 for many years as a surgeon and apothecary at Saxmundham, had all the humour of his father 
 and all his love for practical jokes. Many are the stories told of him in his neighbourhood and 
 many the pranks still remembered about him, He has declined practice, but still (1826) resides 
 in the same town,''

 Before lie had been many months a widower he married, 2ndly, Lady 
 Elizabeth, 4th daughter of Thomas Cecil, first Earl of Exeter, the 
 beautiful, young, and wealthy widow of Sir William Hatton. "The 
 marriage ceremony was performed in a private house, without either 
 banns or licence. In consequence of this irregularity, Coke and his 
 lady, with the Rev. Henry Bathwell, Rector of Okeover, Thomas 
 Lord Burleigh, afterwards Earl of Exeter, the bride's father, and 
 several others present at the marriage, were prosecuted in the Arch- 
 bishop's Court. By a timely and respectful submission, however, by 
 their, proxies, they escaped the greater excommunication." 
 
 1603. Knighted by James I. 
 
 1606. King's Sergeant, and Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. 
 
 1613. Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, usually called Chief Justice 
 
 of England, and Privy Councillor. 
 
 1614. High Steward of the University of Cambridge. 
 
 1616. "Removed" from the Court of King's Bench. Described by Sir George 
 
 Croke as " a prudent, grave, and learned man in the common laws 
 of the realm, and of a pious and virtuous life." 
 
 1617. M.P. for Norfolk. 
 1620. M.P. for Liskeard. 
 
 1623. M.P. for Coventry, after having been committed to the Tower as one of the 
 
 " illtempered spirits " that opposed the Court. 
 1625. High Sheriff of Bucks. M.P. for Norfolk. 
 1627. M.P. for Bucks. 
 
 1632. "The third of May, riding in the morning in Stoke, between eight and 
 
 nine o'clock, to take the ayre, my horse under me had a strange 
 stumble backwards, and fell upon me (being above eighty years old), 
 where my head lighted near to sharp stubbes, and the heavy horse 
 upon me. And yet, by the providence of Almighty God, though I 
 was in the greatest danger, yet I had not the least hurt — nay, no hurt 
 at ah." 
 
 1633. [Misprint for 1634.] Died Sep. 3. His last words being, " Thy kingdom 
 
 come, Thy will be done." While on his death-bed, Sir Francis Winde- 
 bank came to his house at Stoke in virtue of an order from the 
 Privy Council in search of certain seditious papers — at least this was 
 the pretence. He carried away Coke's will, and several other papers 
 and manuscripts. Seven years afterwards the papers were principally 
 returned, but not the will. 
 
 1634. Buried Oct. 4, in Tittleshall Church, co. Norfolk. For his monument 
 
 £400 was paid to Nicholas Stone. 
 
 " So devout a son he was of the Church of England, in the observance of the 
 rites and ceremonies thereof, that I am confident that in near forty years before his 
 death, if sickness or public employment, or something extraordinary did not divert 
 him, scarce one day passed wherein he was not twice a devout assistant in the 
 offering up of the public service of the Church ; nor was he less severe to himself 
 in his person, than just to his public employments, being never so much as suspected 
 of any notorious or seandalous vice. (' Justice Vindicated.' Roger Coke. 1660.)

 REGISTERS OE THORINGTON. 
 
 Before the suppression of Monasteries by Hen. VIII., Registers of marriages 
 and burials of persons connected with them were kept by each house, also of those 
 who were baptized or buried within their precincts. In 1538 an order was issued 
 that each parish should keep a Register of christenings, marriages, and burials, but 
 this order was not generally obeyed, and in 1597 another order was issued by the 
 Convocation of Canterbury, and confirmed by the Queen, that such Registers 
 should be kept, and that copies of such Registers as had been hitherto made, should 
 be made in the new books, and each page attested by the signatures of the 
 Incumbent and Churchwardens. In this parish of Thorington the Register seems 
 to have been commenced in 1561, and copies from y e ould iooJce, which does not 
 now exist, made in 1593, down to the marriage of James Crispe and Abra' 
 Brooke, June 17, and each page is attested by the signatures of Robert' Golde, 
 Rector, and Will'm Spalding and Thorns Johnsonn, Churchwardens. 
 
 It will be observed that in the earlier portions of the Registers surnames are 
 sometimes spelt in different ways, and that the dates are occasionally intermixed. 
 The Rectors of Thorington seem to have adopted the plan in general use among 
 the Clergy of keeping a book for entries to be made by the clerk, and copying these 
 entries when they had to present their Registers at the Visitations. 
 
 It should be remembered that before 1752 the year commenced on March 25, 
 and not on Jan. 1 .

 " Monwments. — In the chaneel, and attached to the north wall, is a large and costly 
 monument erected to the memory of Arthur Coke, third son of Sir Edward Coke, Lord Chief 
 Justice, by Bridget his first wife, daughter of John Paston, Esq. In the upper compartment is a 
 kneeling figure of the first-mentioned gentleman in a military habit, carved out of white marble, 
 which retains its polish and freshness in a very remarkable degree. The figure possesses con- 
 siderable ease, and is much superior in execution to the recumbent effigy of the female which 
 reclines in a stiff attitude, holding an infant in her arms, on an altar-tomb at the feet of her 
 husband. The monument is profusely charged with the armorial cognizances of Coke and 
 Waldegrave, with various quarterings. On the first shield appears Coke, with four coats, viz. — 
 
 1. Coke. — Party per pale gules and az. 3 eagles displayed argent. 
 
 2. Arg. a chev. between 3 chaplets az. flowered or. 
 
 3. Sa,b. a chev. between 3 covered cups or. 
 
 i. Arg. 6 fleurs-de-lis az. 3, 2, 1, and a chief indented, or ; impaling Waldegrave, 
 of four coats. 
 
 1. Waldegbave. — Party per pale arg. and gules ; a crescent sab. for difference. 
 
 2. Barry of ten, arg. and az. 
 
 3. Erm. a fess sab. between 3 rosettes or. 
 i. Arg. a fess between 3 mullets azure." 
 
 TJte inscription is as follows : — 
 " Here lyeth byried Arthor Coke, Esq., third sonne of Sir Edward Coke, Knight, late 
 Lord Chiefe Jvstice of England, and of the Privye Counsell of Kinge James. Here lyeth also 
 buried in the same tombe, Elizabeth, daughter and sole Heire Apparent of Sir George Waldegrave, 
 Knight, w'ch Elizabeth, christianly and peaceably departed this life the 14th day of November, 
 Anno D'ni 1627. And the said Arthor likewise christianly and peaceably departed this life at 
 Bury S' Edmunds, in this county of Suffolk, on the 6th day of December, 1629. 
 " They had issue betweene them, living at their deceases, foure daughters, viz. 
 
 " Elizabeth, Mary, Winifred, and Theophila, whom Almighty God prosper and protect."

 Rabett and his heirs certain estates in Bramfield ; and in the 14th of Elizabeth, Walter Norton,

 * John Mayhem, Rector 1676 (see Institutions') ; Rector of Holton, 1687-8 ; buried in the 
 Churchyard, 1693, M.I. His widow, Ann, our. 1721, M.I. Children mentioned in these Registers : 
 — Mary, lap. 1678 ; Thomas, our. 1680 ; Laurence, bap. and bur. 1680 ; Anne, bap. and bur. 1683 ; 
 Catherine, bap. 1684 ; Tliomas, bap. and bur. 1688. 
 
 f The name Attwood does not occur again in these Registers, except at the burial of these 
 children in December of this year. Coupled with the Christian names Hermon and Olive it 
 possesses interest. In a short account of the " Manor of Sanderstead," co. Surrey, by Granville 
 Leveson (rower, Esq., published by Wyman and Sons, 1878, is the following notice, pp. 3, 4 : — 
 
 " John Ownstead died on the 9th August, 1600, aged sixty-six, and was buried in 
 
 Sanderstead Church Leaving no issue, he by his will devised this manor, after the 
 
 death of his second wife Margaret, to his cousin Harman Atwood. 
 
 " The family of Attwood, of whom a pedigree is given by Manning [' Hist, of Surrey,' vol. ii., 
 p. 570], had long been seated at Sanderstead, and were; I imagine, a yeoman family of the place. 
 In a fine of land relating to Sanderstead, 19 Ed. III., I find the name of Peter Atte Wood, and 
 in Coulsdon, the adjoining parish, the 6ame name occurs in 6 Ed. II., when Peter at Wode, John 
 and Roger de Bosco [or of the Wood,] are returned as owning lands in that parish : 
 
 "Harman Atwood died in 1653, aged eighty-three, as appears by the inscription on his 
 
 monument in the Church After him we find his fourth son, Harman Atwood, in 
 
 possession, and he by his will devised Sanderstead to his brother John and his sister Olive for 
 their lives, with remainder to Harman Atwood, son of his elder brother John." 
 
 {The Christian names Harman and Olive seem to imply a connection between the Tlwrington 
 and Sanderstead families."}

 * These four Baptisms are interpolated among the Burials of the above dates evidently by one 
 who had no authority to make entries, and they prove what the pages of the Registers at this date 
 indicate, that in the latter years of Mr. Mayhem's incumbency {he died 1693) there was careless- 
 ness in malting the entries. The Baptism of Elizabeth is entered in its proper year 1696, but the 
 day of the month is different.

 * This expression frequently recurs, but I do not repeat it. I insert "privately " and " rec" 
 into Church" because it shews the child to have been alive at two different dates. — T. S. H. 
 
 f Until A.D. 1751 the year was reckoned as commencing on March 25 and ending on March 
 24, but as this usage differed from the computation employed in Scotland and neighbouring 
 nations, and was the cause of great inconvenience in the dates of deeds and other legal writings, 
 an Act of Parliament was then passed that the first day of January should in future be the first 
 day of the new year, so that 1752 should commence on that day instead of on March 25. And at 
 the same time it was enacted that (as the reckoning of time was erroneous, and there was a 
 difference of eleven days between the reckoning of the equinoxes and their recurrence), that 
 number of eleven days should be struck out of the calendar, so that the day " following the 
 second day of September shall be called, reckoned, and accounted to be the fourteenth day of 
 September." At the same time it was also further enacted, " that for the continuing and 
 preserving the calendar or method of reckoning, and computing the days of the year in the same 
 regular course, as near as may be, in all times coming," " the several years of our Lord, 1800, 1900, 
 2100, 2200, 2300, or any other hundredth years of our Lord, which shall happen in time to come, 
 except only every .fourth hundredth year of our Lord, whereof the year of our Lord 2000 shall be

 * An Act came into operation on Oct. 1, 1783, imposing a tax of 3d. on the registration of 
 every birth or christening, marriage, and burial. Pauper baptisms and burials were exempted. 
 The " Parson, Vicar, or Curate " was allowed two shillings in the Pound " for his trouble," but 
 was subject to a fine of £100 if he neglected registration. He could, however, compound for the 
 tax by the payment of a yearly sum. This Act was considered very oppressive and vexatious 
 and was repealed in 1794. In William the Third's reign an Act of the same kind had been in 
 force for five years. It came into operation on May 1st, 1695. It was passed to grant his 
 Majesty certain rates and duties on marriages, births, and burials, and upon bachelors and 
 widowers, for the term of five years, for the carrying on of the war against France with vigour. 
 This tax varied according to rank. On marriage from 2s. 6d. to £50 ; on births from 2s. to £30 ; 
 on burials from 4s. to £50, and over. The tax on bachelors and widowers was a yearly one, 
 from Is. to £12 10s. There is no reference to the working of this Act of William's in these 
 Registers.

 * Many members of the family of Wales arc buried in Walberswiclt Churchyard, and the 
 following entry from the Halesworth Registers indicates a relationship between the Walberswiclt 
 and Halesworth branches: — 1751. June 28. Carver Wales, of Walderswick, merchant, bvrd. 
 {The name Carver is probably derived from Thomas Carver, Doctor of Physiclt, who was buried 
 at Halesworth &th October 1708.) The name is now quite extinct at Walberswiclt. A branch 
 of the family settled at Domnham Market, and descendants are still living in that neighbourhood. 
 
 f The following notice of the Anguish family is copied from Suckling's ' Suffolk,' vol. ii., 
 pp. 44, 45 : — 
 
 " Thomas Garneys, Esq., in 1672, conveyed the whole village and manor of Somerleyton to 
 Admiral Sir Thomas Allin, Knt. and Bart., who died in 1686. He left two children — Sir Thomas 
 AUio, Bart., who succeeded him, but died without issue ; and Alice Allin, who, marrying Edmund 
 Anguish, Esq., of Moulton, in Norfolk, carried Somerleyton and the adjoining estates into that 
 family, their eldest son, Richard Anguish, taking the name and arms of Allin under the 
 provisions of his uncle's will. Sir Richard Allin, alias Anguish, was advanced to the rank of a 
 Baronet, and married, in 1699, Frances, daughter of Henry Ashurst. [Le Neve calls her Diana 
 Ashurst.] He died about the year 1725, leaving two sons — Sir Thomas Allin, Bart., who 
 succeeded him, but died unmarried ; and Ashurst Allin, who, on his brother's death, inherited his 
 baronetcy and estates. Sir Ashurst married Thomasin Norris, and dying in 1770, devised his 
 property to his only son, Sir Thomas Allin, who died in 1794, a bachelor ; in whose per&on this 
 line of the family and the baronetcy became extinct. The manor of Somerleyton, however, and 
 the residue of the estates, passed to his heir-at-law, Thomas Anguish, Esq., who was descended 
 from Edmund Anguish, the second son of Edmund Anguish, Esq., of Moulton aforesaid, who 
 married Alice, daughter of the first Sir Thomas Allin. Mr. Anguish died unmarried in 1810 (he 
 was a lunatic in 1806, vol. i., p. 243), and was succeeded in all his manors by the Rev. George 
 Anguish, Clerk, M.A., Prebendary of Norwich Cathedral (and Rector of Gisleham, vol. i., p. 249). 
 This gentleman was born February 7th, 1764, and dying a bachelor July 5th, 1843, the family of 
 Anguish became extinct. The manor and advowson of Somerleyton then fell by heirship to his 
 nephew, Lord Sydney Godolphin Osborne, son of the Duke of Leeds, by Catharine, his second 
 wife, sister to the Rev. George Anguish, the previous possessor. In August, 1844, these, with 
 several other lordships and estates, were conveyed, [by purcliase~] as already shewn, to Samuel 
 Morton Peto, Esq., [afterwards Sir S. M. Peto, Bart.,] of the City of London, who is the present 
 possessor (1847). The family of Anguish, late lords of Somerleyton, are said to have migrated 
 from the shire of Angus, in Scotland, whence they assumed their surname. Their crest, 
 however, does not confirm this, being .an anguis, or snake, coiled in the grass. The shield is a 
 good old bearing : gules, a cinquefoil, pierced, argent. Blomefield says, ' They settled at 
 Moulton, in Norfolk, where they remained three centuries, and where, in 1699, Edward Anguish 
 held the manor of the Earl of Northampton, as parcel of the manor of Forcet.' " 
 
 The following properties were also held [Suckling's ' Suffolk,' vol. i.] by the Allins and 
 Anguishes, and devolved on Lord S. G. Osborne, who sold them to Mr. Peto, August 1844. The 
 lordship of the hundred of Mutford : the lordship of the manor of Barnaby ; Carlton Colville (the 
 advowson was sold for £3000 to W. Andrews, Esq.); the estates in Mutford, which Sir Thomas 
 Allin had bought of the Trustees of Lady Mary Heveningham, wife of William Heveningham, 
 who at the Restoration was attainted of high treason and his estates were confiscated for acting 
 as one of the judges at the trial of Charles I. ; the fee of the hundred of Lothingland; the manors 
 of Ashby with the advowson of the church, and the manors of Corton and Newton, with the ap- 
 purtenances and 4 messuages, 3 gardens, 50 acres of land, 20 of meadow, 40 of pasture, 10 of wood, 
 200 of furze and heath, 10 of marsh, 10 of alder, 40 shillings rent, and free-foldage in Ashby, 
 Corton, Newton, Oulton, Lowestoft, and Hopton ; the manor and estates of Gapton Hall, wit

 * In 1753 an Act of Parliament which was to come into operation March 25, 1754, was passed 
 to prevent clandestine marriage's. Hitherto many persons had solemnized matrimony in prisons 
 and other places without publication of banns or license, and it was now enacted that banns of 
 marriage must be published on three separate Sundays preceding the marriage in the church or 
 chapel of the parish wherein the persons to be married dwelt, or if they lived in different 
 parishes then in the church or chapel of each parish in which they dwelt ; and the marriage was

 to be solemnized in one of the churches or chapels where the banns had been published, and in 
 " no other place whatsoever." Power was reserved to the Bishops to grant licenses, and to the 
 Archbishop of Canterbury to grant special licenses. Any person convicted of solemnizing matri- 
 mony without banns or license or in any other place than the proper church or chapel, was to 
 "be transported to some of His Majesty's plantations in America for the space of fourteen years," 
 and the marriage to be " null and void," but the prosecution must be commenced " within three 
 years after the offence committed." Marriage was to be solemnized in the presence of at least 
 two witnesses besides the minister. The penalty for making a false entry in the register book 
 " of any matter or thing relating to any marriage," or forging or altering an entry or the copy 
 of an entry, or forging or altering a license, or destroying any register book or any part of one, 
 with intent to void a marriage, was " death as a felon without benefit of clergy" (The Statutes 
 at Zarge, Pickering, vol. xxi., p. 124). 
 
 Considering the widespread illegal publication of banns in me among the clergy the following 
 note may be of interest : — 
 
 The rubric before " The Form of Solemnization of Matrimony " in " the Sealed Books " which 
 by the Act of Uniformity has the force of Statute Law, is as follows : " First, the banns of all • 
 that are to be married together must be published in the church three several Sundays or holy- 
 days in the time of divine service, immediately before the sentences for the offertory." The 
 rubrics only provide for the publication of banns after the Nicene Creed. This was inconvenient 
 where there waB not divine service in the morning of every Sunday. To remedy this, the 
 Marriage Act, 26 Geo. II., c. 33 (1753), orders the banns to be published " upon three Sundays 
 preceding the solemnization of matrimony, during the time of Morning Service, or of Evening 
 Service if there be no Morning Service, in such church or chapel upon any of those Sundays, 
 immediately after the second lesson." The words, " after the second lesson," are to be taken 
 with the alternative clause only ; the time of publication when there is a Morning Service being 
 already fixed by the rubric. There was no reason for changing the time of publication in the 
 Morning Service, the only thing needed being a permission to publish banns of marriage during 
 the Evening Service. 
 
 Note. — This is the legal opinion of Mr. A. J. Stephens {Notes on the Booh of Common Prayer, 
 vol. ii., p. 1153) : " The printers of the Prayer Book have committed a flagrant breach, or rather 
 a succession of flagrant breaches of the law ; for they have not only chosen to put their own 
 construction on the statute, which undoubtedly is a false one, but they have, in order to carry 
 out their false construction, actually omitted altogether that portion of the rubric after the 
 Nicene Creed which directs the publication of the banns, and also substituted a new rubric of 
 their own at the commencement of the marriage service, although the statute says nothing 
 which in the remotest degree authorizes any alteration of the rubric, but rather guards against 
 any unnecessary deviation from it" (Scudamore's Notitia Eucharistica, pp. 2534). Tlie rubric 
 after the Nicene Creed in the Sealed. Books is as follows, " And then also (if occasion be) shall 
 notice be given of tlie Communion ; and the banns of matrimony publisJied," etc. The rubric 
 before the Marriage Service is given above.

 Nov. 1, 1806. The Rev. Bence Bence was inducted into this living by the Rev. 
 Tho. Sheriffe, R. of Uggeshall, and he read himself in on the following day. 
 
 In this book witnesses for the first time attest their presence at the ceremony. 
 In 1757 Charles Mabourn, Rector, performs the marriage service and also signs the 
 Register as one of the two witnesses ; and in 1758, 1770, 1772, and 1773, Barnabas 
 Symonds, Rector, does the same. 
 
 It will be noticed that all the entries in the first volume of Marriages after 
 1758 are repeated in this book, and that in this book entries of Marriages are 
 made during the years 1754, 5, 6, 7, 8, whilst in the first book it is noted that in

68 REGISTERS OF THORINGTON. 
 
 The following extract from Lechy's " History of England in the Eighteenth Century," 
 Vol. I., pp. 490-1, refers to the Marriage Act of 1753. 
 
 " The long list of social reforms passed under the Pelham Ministry may be fitly closed by 
 the Marriage Act of Lord Hardwicke, which put a stop to those Fleet marriages, which had 
 become one of the strongest scandals of English life. Before this Act the Canon Law was in 
 force in England, and according to its provisions the mere consent of the parties, followed by 
 cohabitation, constituted, for many purposes, a valid marriage, and a valid marriage for all 
 purposes could be celebrated by a Priest in Orders at any time or place, without registration, 
 and without the consent of parents or guardians. Stamped licences were, indeed, required by 
 law, but not for the validity of the contract, and their omission was only punished as a fraud on 
 the revenue. In such a state of the law atrocious abuses had grown up. A multitude of 
 clergymen, usually prisoners for debt, and almost always men of notoriously infamous lives, 
 made it their business to celebrate clandestine marriages in or near the Fleet. [The Fleet mas a 
 prison in which debtors mere confined."] They performed the ceremony without licence or ques- 
 tion, sometimes without even knowing the names of the persons they united, in public-houses, 
 brothels, or garrets. They acknowledged no ecclesiastical superior. Almost every tavern or 
 brandy-shop in the neighbourhood had a Fleet parson in its pay. Notices were placed in the 
 windows, and agents went out in every direction to solicit the passers-by. A more pretentious, 
 and, perhaps, more popular establishment, was the chapel in Curzon Street, where the Rev. 
 Alexander Keith officiated. He was said to have made a ' very bishopric of revenue ' by clan- 
 destine marriages ; and the expression can hardly be exaggerated if it be true, as was asserted in 
 Parliament, that he had married on an average 6000 couples every year. He himself stated 
 that he had married many thousands, the great majority of whom had not known each other 
 more than a week, and many only a day or half a day. Young and inexperienced heirs fresh 
 
 from college, or even from school, were thus continually entrapped Among the more 
 
 noted instances of clandestine marriages we find that of the Duke of Hamilton with Miss 
 Gunning, that of the Duke of Kingston with Miss Chudleigh, that of Henry Fox with the 
 
 daughter of the Duke of Richmond It is not surprising that contracts so lightly 
 
 entered into should have been as lightly violated. Desertion, conjugal infidelity, bigamy, ficti- 
 tious marriages celebrated by sham priests, were the natural and frequent consequences of the 
 system. In many cases in the Fleet Registers names were suppressed or falsified, and marriages 
 fraudulently ante-dated, and many households, after years of peace, were convulsed by some 
 alleged pre-contract or clandestine tie. It was proved on one occasion before Parliament that 
 there had been 2954 Fleet marriages in four months, and it appeared from the memorandum 
 books of Fleet parsons that one of them made £57 in marriage fees in a single month, that 
 another had married 173 couples in a single day." 
 
 P. 498. — " With large classes of the community the easy process of Fleet marriages were 
 very popular. On the day before the new law came into force no less than 300 were celebrated, 
 and a bold attempt was made by a clergyman named Wilkinson to perpetuate the system at the 
 Savoy. He claimed, by virtue of some old privileges attaching to that quarter, to be extra- 
 parochial, and to have the right of issuing licences himself, and he is said to have actually cele- 
 brated as many as 1400 clandestine marriages after the Marriage Act had passed. By the 
 instrumentality of Garrick, one of whose company had been married in this manner in 1756, a 
 Savoy licence passed into the hands of the Government, and the trial and transportation of 
 Wilkinson* and his curate put an end to clandestine marriages in England. Those who desired 
 them, however, found a refuge in Scotland [Gretna Green marriages mere made illegal in 1856] ; 
 the Isle of Man [clandestine marriages mere made illegal in tlie Isle of Man in 1757] and 
 Guernsey ; and in 1760 there were always vessels ready at Southampton to carry fugitive lovers 
 to the latter island." [The charge for the passage mas five guineas.'] 
 
 In 1823 another Marriage Act was passed, of which the chief points of difference from that 
 of 1753, are— 
 
 That seven days' notice of banns shall be given to the clergyman before the first publication. 
 
 That no clergyman shall be punishable by ecclesiastical censures for solemnizing marriages 
 without consent of parents unless he has had notice of such dissent. , 
 
 That banns must be republished if the marriage is not solemnized within three months. 
 
 That no marriage shall be solemnized at any other time than between the hours of eight and 
 twelve in the forenoon. 
 
 That when marriage is solemnized between parties under age by false oath or fraud, the 
 guilty party shall forfeit all property accruing from the marriage. 
 
 The penalty of transportation for fourteen years for improperly solemnizing marriage was 
 preserved, but the prosecution must take place within three years after the offence was com- 
 mitted. 
 
 * Wilkinson was transported for some years, and " John Grierson, the clergyman of the 
 Savoy Chapel," was transported for fourteen years for this illegality in 1755. Perhaps he was Dr. 
 Wilkinson's curate.

 Reredos in Memory op H. A. S. Bence, Esq. 
 
 The reredos is executed in Baltic and Belgian oak ; it consists of three central 
 panels, with wings and " returns " on the sides of the chancel. The central panels 
 consist of three cusped arches, divided by buttresses, which terminate in crocketed 
 finials. In these arches are three subjects carved in oak, which represent the 
 following scenes. In the centre is the group of the " Crucifixion." Our Saviour 
 is shewn on the cross, the figures of the Blessed Virgin and of St. John stand by 
 the sides ; above their heads we see the sun and moon, — emblems of the eclipse 
 that took place at the solemn moment of our Saviour's death. In the background 
 is seen the city of Jerusalem. On the dexter side of the reredos is represented the 
 scene of the " miraculous draught of fishes," and on the left side " St. Peter walking 
 on the sea," in which the Saviour is seen standing on the sea, and raising St. Peter, 
 who is sinking into the waves. All these groups are carved in high relief, and are 
 beautifully executed. The style of the carving is that of the fifteenth century, of the 
 best type. The central compartment of the reredos is surmounted by a "brattish- 
 ing " or cresting of pierced foliage, whilst under this member is a moulding, in the 
 hollow of which vine leaves are sunk. Between each of the three figure "panels " 
 are four smaller ones, in which are quaintly carved the lily, passion-flower, rose, and 
 pomegranate. The wings, as well as the sides or "returns" of the reredos, consist 
 
MEM0E1AL INSCRIPTIONS. 87 
 
 of framed panels of fifteenth century type. The arms of the Bence family, as well 
 as the following inscription, " To the glory of God and in loving memory of Henry 
 Alexander Starkie Bence, born May 15, 1816, died May 30, 1881," are carved on 
 the upper part of the right or N. side. The antique altar table, which is of 
 Jacobean type, is so placed as to stand in a recess, in the centre of the reredos. 
 This table iB also raised on an oak step or platform, of which the front is decorated 
 with carved rosettes or "bosses." This altar table is covered by a richly em- 
 broidered frontal and super-frontal, on which are executed in rich colours and 
 gold the cross keys of St. Peter and pomegranates, the grounds being in damask 
 and velvet of antique designs. The ancient " aumbery " and piscina which have 
 been incorporated into the design of this reredos have also been restored and deco- 
 rated, and its shelf in oak has once more been replaced. The character of all the 
 work is of the type prevalent in Suffolk in the fifteenth century.*

 Lovelace's monument, which was formerly fixed against the east wall of the 
 chancel on the south side, has been taken down, and the tablet only, of black marble, 
 preserved, which is laid in the floor just below ; the inscription, never intended for 
 the rough use it will now occasionally be put to, cannot last a very long time. In- 
 scription below and arms gone. 
 
 The stone for Rob. Gould lies north and south against the east wall of the 
 chancel, towards the north side. 
 
 The monument for Alexander Bence has been removed from the east end, north 
 Bide of the window, to the north wall, about the centre of the chancel, and is not 
 otherwise altered. 
 
 Mrs. Golding's monument, which is against the north wall of the nave, I find I 
 have noticed. 
 
 (After a few more lines, he notes the monument and gives the inscriptions as alove.)

 as being on a flat stone in the middle of the church ; it is now at the east end of 
 the south chancel aisle, and is perfect. The second, now by the side of the former, 
 was then in the chancel. The shield of arms and figure of the wife were then 
 existing. The third inscription was described at that time as being in the chancel,
