HE firft monument that occurs in the XIVth Century is that of Ela i , 00 daughter of William Longefpe earl of Salifbury, and widow of Thomas 3 earl of Warwick, whodiedi30o, 28 Edward I. and was buried before the high altar, in the abbey church at Ofertey, under a flat marble, in the habit of a vowefs graven on a copper plate This feems to have been one of the earlieft inftances of figures engraved in brafs, which were probably firft introduced in this cen- tury. We fhall meet with another about eight years after. Bifliop Gifford, who died 1301, is buried in the South outer wall of the 1301. choir at Worcejier. His monument has been falfely afcribed to St Wolftan by 3 Dr. Thomas and others, who, if they had in the leaft attended to the ftyle of the monuments, would never have made fuch an exchange for the two prelates who lived two centuries afunder. The tomb in queftion is decorated with fix apoltles (Peter, Paul, Andrew, Thomas, Bartholomew, and James the left) in quatrefoils, fepaiated by bufts of angels, and on it lies the bilhop, in pontificalibus, his hands elevated, but not joined, and at his head a heavy arch, on which fit angels \ At the foot of this tomb is another engraved in Upton’s Afpilogia by Byfhe, which has been called that of a Countefs of Salisbury, a Countefs of Surrey, and a Lady Verdon. The firft it certainly is not, the rofe and garter over it having a reference to Prince Arthur’s monument adjoining, and the angels ftrewing gar- ters being a miftake for angels holding fcrools. She has on her mantle Chequi GandAz. and Byflie on Upton, and after him Willis, from thence take cc- cafion to marry her to one of the Warrens, earl of Surrey, in the reign of Hen- ry III. and thus file has a place among Sir George Warren’s family ; but all their ladies, to the laft who died beyond fea, were buried with their lords at Lewes J .

By [ »o ] Rv Ry file’s rule, that the arms on the outer garment are maiden , and thofe on the inner married bearings, file is made by him a Verdon, though (Ire does not ■appear in Dugdak’s account of that family'. She deferves mention here for the elegance of her figure and drefs, which lafl is lingular. On her head is a veil, under her chin a deep muffler, almoft to her mouth ; in her right hand, which is elevated, a rol'ary ; at her feet a dog. One would fufpe£l it the habit of a nun. On the fide of the tomb fix figures fitting in quatrefoils divided by angels’ heads. The truth is, that thii figure reprefents Andela, daughter and heir of Grif- fin de Albo Monasterio or Blanchminfter, (who bore A frette G. and was lord of Ichtefeld, Salop,) wife of John fon of Griffin de Warren, natural fon of Wil- liam Warren, -fixth carl of Surrey. The work of the tomb is deemed too richly ornamented for the time of Henry III. and muft therefore belong .to that of Ed- ward III 1302. Bilhop March, who died 1302, has a monument in the South wall of the ° * South crofs at Wells \ Under a flat Gothic canopy of three niches againft the wall are angels, and a prieft or monk, handing. In the wall over his head projects a large face with beard and whilkers and curled hair. Over his feet another face beardlefs. At his feet a bear. At the bottom of the tomb under each arch two heads : the firlt and third have curled hair ; the fecond a fhaven front, hair curled at the Tides ; the fourth and fixth are old, curled and bearded ; the fifth is veiled like a woman. 1303. In the choir at Southwell is a brafslefs flab for Thomas de Corbridge, arch- bilhop of York who died at Lanham, c. Nottingham, 1303. and whofe body was found in putting up a new pulpit about thirty years ago. 1304. The epitaph of John Warren, feventh earl of Surrey, who died 1304, at Kennington near London, and was buried before the high altar at Lewes under a plain tomb, relembles, in part, that of the Black Prince.

Very much like Aymer de Valence’s at Weftminfter was the tomb of his con- temporary Henry Lacy earl of Lincoln, in Old St. Pauls . The figure has a great relemblance in drefs, and fupporters at head and feet; and the legs feem to have been croft in the fame manner. The fides of the tomb were loaded with figures, and fhields over them, like Crouchback’s. But Hollar has omitted the canopy, which was probably gone The exceflive fimplicity of Edward the Firft’s monument muft ftrike every 1306. one who compares it with thofe of our other monarchs, or confiders the hiftory •and glories of his reign. I can no otherwiie account for it than by adopting the opinion that his corpfe was frequently re-embalmed, and that fucli a tomb was 1110ft favourable to the operation. Whatever was the motive for depofiting this great prince, whofe atchievments, as well as his filature, tranfcended the reft of his contemporaries, and whofe character had fecured him the aftetftions of his ■fubje&s, in a plain CGiliii of Purbeck marble, fix feet feven inches long, to be inclofed in a farcophagus of five plain flabs nine feet feven inches long, we sre greatly indebted to the inquifitive zeal of one member of the Royal and Antiquary Societies, and the accurate defcription of another, for letting in on him all the day-light they .could, and defining with accuracy the mode of the royal exequies. The Infcription, Edwardus Primus Scotorum malleus hie eft. Padum fefva, 1308. on the North fide of the tomb, is now fo much defaced as to be left barely legible. Sir Jofeph Ayloffe * conceived the bufts on the iron rails round it intended to reprefent this prince, and to be pretty tolerable likenefles. Only one remains at prefent ; but there were two in Mr. Dart’s time *. On removing the old pavement of the choir at Exeter, 1763, in order to lay ^ 07. a new one, they difeovered the leaden coffin of bifhop Thomas Bitton, who died 1307, 1 Edward II. It was covered with a rough ftone, over which lay a very large flab of Purbeck marble, whereon his figure had been inlaid in brafs. The leaden coffin was circular at the head, of the fize of the human head, and had two handfome iron rings on each fide. Part of the lid being decayed, and the whole lying too high for the level of the pavement, they were obliged to cut it open, in order to prefs down the fides. This expofed to view the fkeleton, in the natural pofition it fell into on the putrefa&ion of the body, which had re- duced the flefh to a blackifh powder. About the middle lay a ring, a thin cha- lice and paten, four inches and a half high, of bale filver, which appeared to have been gilt, and in the centre of the paten was carved a hand, with the thumb and two forefingers extended in the ael > which lle be gan to add to his cathedral at Licbf.eld. He was 'treasurer of England, and confecrated Bifliop of this fee 1296, and was in high favour with Edward I. in whofe caufe he fiiffered excommunication, and the condufling of whofe corpfe from the borders of Scotland to Weftminfter was committed to his care. He was fcarce arrived in London ivhen he was put in prilbn by the conflable of the Tower ; and notwithftanding the repeated ap- plications of the clergy to Edward II. in his behalf was Shifted about to Wal- lingford and York for two years before he was releafed, and his property re- ftored. His only crime, according to Walfingham ', was his having remon- strated with Edward II. in his father’s life for his imprudences and extravagance, which the prince refented by breaking down the bifliop’s park fences. His father having for this confined him, Edward II. determined he fliould' feel confine- ment himfelf, and even in his father’s life involved him in accufations to the pope, who, after proper inveftigation, acquitted him. It appears from arcli- bifliop Greenfield’s regifter, 1 31 1, that he was even charged with murder. Oil his dilbharge he retired to his fee, to which he was an efpecial benefadlor! He laid the foundations of the Lady-chapel, and dying before it was completed, left money to finifli it. He built the wall round the cloifter and clofe, and expended X- 2000. on St. Chad’s flirine. He gave his palace at Lichfield to the vicars choral % and built a new palace on the Eaft fide of the clofe, and made con- liderable improvement on his other palaces in his diocefe and at London He gave valuable prefents of plate to his cathedral, and obtained manv privileges for the vicars choral and canons ; and after he had fat near twenty years died at London, Nov. 16, 1321 J , and was buried in the Lady-chapel. ‘ Hi ft.

At hi. head is a pediment, and on each fide of it an angel renting him. It vv removed probably at the interment of bithop Hacker, who may be confident, 1 as the fecond founder of this church, and has a monument on the fpot formerly occupied by Langton, whofe figure lies now in a niche in the South aile over againft biihop Hacket’s mon ament. This figure, and that of biihop Patefhull, who died 124a, being the only monuments of the bilhops of this church before biihop Hacket 167, ue here engraved in one plate. The drawings by Mr. Carter not having come to hand in time, mult plead in excufe for the oniiffion of biihop Patefhull in his proper place. This latter is remarkable for the peculiarity noted by Mr Pen- nant ', and confirmed to me by Mr. R. Green of Lichfield, of the ftigmata or marks of our Saviour’s wounds on its hands ahd feet. Mr. Carter, however who was apprized or this circumftance, affures me he fought for it without fuccels! There are five jewels fet in quincunx on the front of his mitre. This figure is much more mutilated than Langton, is in a fimpler ftyle, and the head lies on a plain Culhion in a kind of frame. In C. 36, in the College of Arms, which contains chuch notes and monu- ments 111 Staffordihtre, are drawings of the tombs of both thefe bilhops to- gether with all the other tombs in Litchfield cathedral, taken before they were deftroyed in the civil wars.

The canopy confifts of a large Tingle arch, much radiated, and in a rich pediment above in a trefoil is a relief of the earl on horfeback, with a flow- ing baudrequin , on a galloping caparifoned courfer, and in his hand a lance. The arch is adorned with coftly mofaic of ftained glafs, and other ornaments. But this tomb, with the others which inclofed the fide of the chapel, and which Dart had tafte enough to fay “made a glorious appearance from the altar,” are, contrary to the practice of any other of our cathedrals % entirely fliut out from it by a modern unmeaning flat Gothic wainfcotting. The North fide is open, within rails, to the aile, and at the Weft end blocked up by a Grecian monument to Lord Ligonier. William de Valence, who was advanced to the title of Earl of Pembroke about the 48th year of Henry III 3 , whofe maternal brother he was, took the name of Valence from a fmall town in Poitou, which he had in appenage with Montignac, Billac, Rancon, and Champagnac. Henry Tent for him over in 1302, knighted him, and gave him the lordfhip of Wexford. He afterwards married him to Joan daughter of Warine de Montchenfi by one of the daughters of the earl of Pembroke, to which title he fucceeded in right of this match. He won the battle of Evelham ; and being flain by the French at Bayonne, 1296, 23 Edward I. was buried, as we have before feen, p. 75. in St. Ed- mund’s Chapel, Weftminfter, leaving ifliie three Tons 4 : John, who died young, and was buried at Weftminfter 5 ; William, flain in his father’s life-time by the Welfh; and Audomar , who fucceeded him in his honours. This Audomar attended Edward I. in his French and Scottilh wars ; and that prince on his deathbed recommended it to him to keep Gavefton out of England 6 . 25 Edward I. 1298. he was with the king in the expedition into Flanders, and the two next years in the wars in Scotland. 33 Edward I. he obtained a grant of the king of Selkirk and Trefquair caftles there, and made a pile at the former, and garrifoned it 7 . In 1306 he was one of the commanders of the three Englifti “ Pateat univerGs quod ego Willielmus de Lavenham thefaurarius nobilis viri domini Audomari de Valentia comitis 11 Pembroc recepi in cuftodia de domino Henrico de Stachedene imam coronam auream dial comitis in quodam cof- “ fino figillato figillis dom.

On the coronation of Robert Bruce he was fent with troopii again ft him, and kept in Perth agarrifon of 300 men of arms, befides footmen \ Bruce challenged him to battle ; but the earl fent for anfwer, that he would not fight on that day, being Sunday. Bruce retreating a mile from the town, to reft his troops, the Englifh attacked them in the night, and totally defeated them 3 ; and Valence purfuing Bruce as he retreated to Kentire caftle, took it, and hanged Bruce’s brother Nigel, and all he found in it, except Bruce’s wife ; which fo exafperated Bruce that he attacked him next year, and drove him to Ayr caftle 4 . He loft only a few men, but was blocked up in the caftle till re- lieved by the king. 1312, 34 Edward I. he was difpatched from court (a latere regis Anglia) to guard the marches of Scotland. He ravaged Northum- berland ; but foon after he entered Scotland a panic feized him, and he dif- gracefully fuffered the enemy to purfue him to Cotneirech, killing great numbers of his men 5 . He was feveral times fent by Edward I. into France to treat of peace with Philip le Bel, and for a marriage of his daughter lfabel with prince Edward. Early in the reign of Edward II. he joined with other barons againft his minion Gavefton, whom they befieged in Scarborough caftle, and foon after feized and beheaded. When the barons had got him into their hands, 1312, our earl in vain interceded for his life 6 . He was in the unfortunate battle of Bannocburn, 7 Edward II. 1314? and in fucceeding expeditions to Scotland, being conftituted, 8 Edward II. general of all his forces from Trent to Rox- borough 7 . 10 Edward II. he was taken prifoner in his way to Rome, by one John de la Moiller a Burglion [Burgundian] and fent to the Emperor, becaufe the faid John alledged that he ferved the king of England, and had not his wages 8 . The king himfelf wrote letters to divers foreign princes to folicit his releafe 9 , and he was ranfomed for twenty thoufand pound of filver. Next year he was again in the Scottifh wars, and made governor of Rockingham caftle' 0 . The earl returning from a parliament held 1322 at York, was arrefted by the king’s order, as a favourer of the barons’ caufe againft the Spenfers; but on fwearing fealty to the king, and paying a fine, he was foon releafed 1322, 15 Edward II. he marched with the king againft Thomas earl of Lancafter and the confederate barons, and with the earl of Hereford forded the Trent at Burton. The barons fled before them to Pontefract, where they foon after received a total defeat, and our earl was one of thofe who gave fentence again :t the earl of Lancafter executed at PontefraCt, 15 Edward II. and obtained part of his pofleflions for himfelf and heirs". This concern in that earl’s death proved fatal to him. Two years afterwards he went over to France with lfabel the Queen-mother' 3 , and was there murdered, June 23, 1323, 1 7 Edward II.

A a earl f arl of Lancafter’s death came to a good end 1 ; Oftter, as he calls him, cle Valenciis, earl of Pembroke, dying fuddenly abroad. Leland % out of a Chro- nicle in Peterhoufe library 3 , fays, “Syr Aymerof Valaunce, erle of Penbroke, “ went over into Fraunce with Quene Ifabelle, and there he was fodenly mor- “ derid in a privy fege, by the vengeaunce of God ; for he con fen ted to the ei deth of S.

His laft wife, who was in her own right baronefs of Veyfert [Wyfeford], and Montignac, furvived him. Upon her lord’s death, fhe gave herfelf entirely -up to a religious life; and, in 1343, began the foundation of Pembroke College, Cambridge, and endowed it 1347, by the name of Aula Maria de Valent ia 9 .

His figure is pontifically habited, his crofier in his left, a bible in his right hand. Above the roof of the canopy is painted a whole length figure of Chrift with his wounds and nimbus, and a globe under his feet. All the pillars of the canopy ftand on lions. Edward If. when he fled from his queen had left the care of the city of London to this prelate, a man of great integrity, prudence, and experience in affairs. The populace hearing of the queen’s landing rofe upon the mayor, and bound them Lives by an aflociation to feize the king’s juftices then aflem- bied at the Friars Preachers, and put to death all who fliould oppofe the queen. As the bi fli'd p of Exeter had joined in publifhing at St. Paul’s the pope’s bull of excommunication againft all who invaded the realm, or difturbed the peace, they waylaid him in his way from his country-houfe. He fled to the door of St. Paul’s cathedral, where he was presently feized by the mob, and dragged out, and after they had beaten and dangeroufly wounded him, they dragged him through the ftreets to the crofs in Cheap, where they ftripped him of his robes, and beheaded him. His head they fet on the pillory, and left his body a prey to the dogs, not fuffering it to be buried L Carte fays % they fent his head to the queen, and threw his trunk into the mud of the river, with thofe of his nephew W. Walle and John de Paddington, and another of his gentlemen 3 . The billiop’s brother Sir Richard Stapledon, knight, lies under an arch in the wall.. On a table a little raifed is his figure compleatly armed in a round helmet ; his fhield hangs from his neck on his left arm ; his right hand holds his fword pointing downwards ; under his head three cufhions; a beaft col- lared at his feet ; alfo a headlefs horfe and groom ; and at his head a foot- foldier in armour. Tradition fays he was a captain, and murdered at Cripple- gate, London. But quere if not confounded in this laft eircumftance with his brother. This monument has fuffered moft of any in the church; 1326. Hugh le Despenser the younger, fon of Hugh le Defpenfer earl of Win- chefier (who at the age of 90 was beheaded and hanged in the fight of his king and his Ion, by Edward the Second’s queen 4 ) was executed at Hereford, by the fame authority, on St. Andrew’s eve, 1326. He was brought from Llantriflant caftle in Glamorgan fhire where he had been taken juft before, bound on a lean horfe, with a tabard over him fuch as thieves and traitors ufed to wear; or, as Knyghton fays 5 , his furcoat of arms reverfed, a crown of nettles on his head, and on his furcoat fix verfes of the Llld Pfalm, Quid gloriaris in malitia ; and fo led through all the towns after the Queen’s army with trumpets and other inftru- ments 6 to Hereford. There after the feaft of All Saints, which the Queen kept, and which was, fays Froiflart, “ moult grande & bten ejlofee ,” fentence was paffed upon him. He was firft drawn on a fledge with trumpets founding before him through the ftreets of Hereford to the great fquare of the city, where all the people were aflembled. There, a great fire being firft kindled, he was tied on a high ladder, that all the fpetftators might fee him. His privy members were then cut off and caft into the fire, and afterwards his heart. * Dene in Angl. Sne.

Under the fecond North arch of the chancel at Bennington , c. Hertford, is a^ rr low altar tomb embattled, the South fide adorned with eight low arches, in which have been as many figures ; but only two women and three men re- main, and thofe lieadlefs. Over the pillars between the arches are alternately eight fifields, charged with a chevron dancette between fix crofs crolslets and three bars gemelles. Benjled. The firft and laft Afield are dimidiated. On the table lies a very large knight, in a round helmet, with a double cufifion (fquare and lozenge) under his head, his face and body rather turned to the right, his right hand drawing his l'word, while his left, on which there never was a Afield, holds the fcabbard below the belt ; his legs are crofted at the knees, and there is a lion at his feet. By his fide is a lady in the muffled head-drefs gathered under her chin and round her neck, very fiendcr arms, hands gone, her under garment gathered up in folds below the waift, and falling in plaits. Two dogs at her feet. The arch over this tomb is charged with twenty-four oak buds, and ter- minates in a bouquet : at the ends are two pil afters terminating in pointed finials. The arms affign it to one of the Bensteds lords of Benington by convey- ance from Alexander de Baliol, from 13 Edward I. to 1 Henry VII. John was a juftice of the Common Pleas 1310, from 3 to 15 Edward II. Thrice he was employed in Scotland, 3 1 Edward I. aqd 2 and 8 Edward II. and lum- moned to parliament among the barons the latter year, and three years after he was one of the commiftioners to treat of peace between our king and Robert J3ruce king of Scotland. 12 Edward II. he was fent with the then biftiop of Hereford to Rome, to folicit the canonization of Thomas Cantilupe, fometime biftiop of that fee. He died 1323, having married Petkonella, eldeft daughter of Hugh de Grapenell, and by her had two Tons, John, who died 50 Edward III. and Edward, at that time aged 27 5 ; who fat in parliament as knight of this Afire 7 and 20 Bichard II. and 1 Henry IV. and was alfo fheriff of the counties of Eftex and Herts, 1400. Edmund fon of Sir Edward ratified the title of Joan widow of Sir Edward Benfted in this manor, 1 1 Hen- ry VI 6 . His death is uncertain, but John his fon inherited his eftate, and was knighted. He left iftue William and Eleanor. The fon fucceeded, but dying without iftue, his lifter had livery of Benington, Henry VII. and fold it to Sir William Say 7 . 1 “ Prcmierement il fnt trahi fur un bahue, a trompes S; a trompettes, par toute la villc dc Herford de rue en me Se puis fut amene cn une grande place en la villc , la ou tout le people efloit aflemble.

Bb Under Under the arch Eaft of this is a monument which I incline to give to Sir Edward Bensted and his wife Joan j but that failing within the fucceeding century, will be then deferibed. *3 2 7* Edward II. who died 1327, had a fumptuous monument erected for him by his fon, on the North fide of the high altar at Gloucefter. The elegant canopy which, as appears by an infeription on it, is modern, not ftrkftly copied from the old one, which may be feen in Sandford, p. 132. conlifts of three arches of two ftories, intermixed with finall tabernacles, and the fide of the tomb is ornamented with three arches in recefs, and four lefler flat, which laft have had images, and on the fpandrils of the others are lliiclds. The figure, of alabafter, is royally robed and crowned, the head fupported by two angels, in the right hand the feeptre, in the left the globe, a lion regardant at the feet. The malk fhewn in Berkeley caftle, and pretended to have been taken off the King’s face after his death is evidently taken from this ftatue. Not to infill, that it bears no marks of the diftortion of features which his violent death muff have produced, I queftion whether the art of taking calls from faces was known in the fourteenth century. On the North rails which furround this monument are the arms of England and of Oriel college with an infeription expreffing the gratitude of that fociety to their royal founder. Round the capitals of the two pillars between which it Hands are painted on a red ground a number of white flags, on which authors of authority have not fcrupled to retail the vulgar error, that they drew the corpfe from Berkeley caftle hither ; whereas, in fail, they are the family badge borne afterwards by Richard II. and carved and painted as his badge in Weftminfter hall and abbey. 1 bis monument is fo faithfully drawn and engraved by Mr. Bonner for Ralph Bigland, efq. Garter Principal King of Arms, that I forbear to enlarge on its de- fetiption, which I am not without hope of feeing much more ably executed. Atkins fays ‘ there is a tomb near the altar for Ifabel wife of Edward II. but he has confounded it with the Confeffionary or abbatial feat of four arches on the South fide of the altar. 13 2 7 - Walter Reynolds, archbifhop of Canterbury, who died 1327, lies under a window in the South aile of the choir there. His figure, now almoll gone, ap- pears in Dart, p. 143, in pontificalibm, his hands folded on his belly, bis head on two culhions, and an arch above it. The altar is embattled, and the arch- work at the fide more complex than the proceeding tombs. 1329.

Mr. Widmore *, from Flete fays, he was buried in the South part of the crofs, before the altar of St. Benedidt. He rebuilt the matlor-houfes at Iflip and Sutton. Archbilhop Mepham, who died 1333, lies on the North fide of the pref-1333. bytery at Canterbury , in an embattled recefs or chapel of five tall pointed arches, four of whofe fpandrils have in trefoils the four Evangelifts. The columns are cluttered, and the interftices guarded by iron gratings, and the whole makes part of a very elegant ftone fereen between this tomb and St. Anfelm’s chapel. The tomb has three deep arches in it, making it fomething between an altar and a table, and thefe arches being pierced lhew that the corpfe is below them '.

Juft within the entrance of St. Edmund’s Chapel at Weftminfter , under a light white ’ftone canopy of three equal arches richly purfled with pierced quatre- foils in their pediments, once furmounted by angels, but all removed by order of bilhop Pearce, is the alabafter figure of John of Eltham, fecond fon of Edward 111. recumbent, in armour, and round helmet, with a coronet and whilkers, his hands joined, on his left arm a fhield charged with three lions pafiant guardant in a bordure of fleurs de lis ; his fword ftudded with lozenges ; at his feet a lion looking to him. On the front of the altar nine images of his relations in nitches, and blank fhields in quatrefoils under them. He died in his 19th year, 1334, at St. John’s town, or Perth in Scotland, and was interred here with uncommon magnificence \ Figures on the South fide, 1 . Gone/ 2.

Thefe figures, being uncommonly elegant reprefentations of the habits, and having efcaped better than moll others, are here faithfully engraved. Leland ■, defcribing a Mohun effigy at Dunftar, c. Somerfet, fays, “ it has a “ garland round the helmet, and fo were lordes of old time ufed to be burid.” “ John of Eltham has a coronet on his head, the form whereof indeed is fleury, or as at this day a duke’s is with us. But he died almoft two years before any duke was made in England ; whence we may perhaps collect alfo, that the coronet at leaft of fome earls before the creation of dukes were of like form to thofe of dukes. And in the later ages an earl’s is pointed and pearled on the top ot the points, as we fee it at .this day. But alfo long before the death of this earl we have exadt teftimony of an earl’s coronet in Aymer de Valence Bifflop Hotham, who died ^ 37 , had a magnificent tomb, with his effigy,,:.? m alaballer, in the middle of that part of the prelbylery at Ely which he had built behind the high altar. It was adorned with a fumptuous branch for feven tapers on the top of it, and in the feveral compartments at the fides and Eaft end with fculptures of the creation and fall, and many other decora- tions. The tomb ftill remains, but much defaced, and divefted of the above ornaments, inftiad of which is placed on the top a kind of wooden ornament and a modern mfcription of the time of Elizabeth or James I. with a wrong date and talfe account of his works. The arches of the canopy are of the rat (hated fort, and round; the pillars neat and cluftered. The additional top is not in a bad ftyle. The front of the tomb is adorned with alternate compart- ments ot frngle and treble nitches, the leffer of which had ftatues. The tomb is removed to the North aile of the choir, and the body left in its place Under the fecond North aile from the organ in the church of St. Mary Ottery, on a freeftone altar tomb, under a heavy arch of the fame, lies an armed knight. Ins arms croffed, his fword drawn in his right hand, a double-tailed lion at his feet, and in the arch over him rofes in fhields. Oppofite to him a like monument, with a woman, having two dogs at her feet, and two angels at her head. In Rifdon's time there were defaced arms about thefe monuments which are fuppofed to belong to William and Sibyl, father and mother of bilhop Gkandison, and are now almoft covered with pews. 1 Sip' 1 T'iv ! ?°r T - p ; s6 ’„-, A f°‘- «**»* ■» hi, B,i, 4t0 .

He was fecond fon of Robert de Burgherft', and brother to ‘Bartholeme^V’ Lord de Burgherft, Lord Chamberlain to king Edward, whofe intereft obtained him this bifhoprick from Edward II. He was inthroned 1320, and in two years after forfeited the king’s favour, and his temporalities were efeheated into the Exchequer, but reftored 1324. He retained fo deep a fenfe of this affront that he fupported the Queen in her defigns again ft her hufbaiid. He was treafurer and chamberlain of England in the reign of Edward III. and died at Ghent 1343 3 . He had the character of an avaricious, opprefiive prelate; a proof of which laft is the inclofure of a park at Tinghurft to the great prejudice of the neighbouring landholders, whofe lands he took in ; for which Walfingham tells us he was punifhed after his death by being condemned to walk on earth as the keeper of this park ( indutus brevi tunica & ipfa viridi) in which habit he appeared to one of his noble friends, enjoining him to get the park thrown open for the releafe of his foul out of purgatory. Hence Godwin quaintly fays, “ Exceflit e vivis Gandavi hie epifeopus, in viridem viridarium mox trans- “ Jonnatus, et fepultus eft &c.” In the North tranfept of Hereford cathedral is an altar tomb and figure of 1 343 * bifhop Charlton, who died 1343.

Richard 345 - Richard AunGervylLE, of Bury St. Edmunds, bifliop of Durham , who died 1345, had a monument in his cathedral, before the altar of St. Andrew and Mary Magdalen, on the South fide of the prefbytery, or part commonly called I’be Nine Mtars, behind St. Cuthbert’s flirine, with his portrait in brafs, now gone, but of which a drawing is preferved in Sir William Dugdale’s Vifita- tion in the College of Arms. He was archdeacon of Northampton, prebendary of Lincoln, Sarum, and Lichfield, and dean of Wells, tutor to Edward II. when prince, under whom he held the offices of cofferer, keeper of the wardrobe and of the privy leal, and was confecrated to this lee 1333 ; a man of eminent learning, and of equal charity, and an excellent prelate. He never dined without a reader, nor travelled without alms. He was a great benefador to his cathedral, as well as to the library at Oxford ; and, to complete his charader, a correfpondent of Petrarch 347. Biffiop Gower, who died 1347, has a figure habited in epifcopal robes, under a rich arch, under the old organ-loft in his cathedral at St. Davids. 347* In the chancel of Elsyng church, c. Norfolk, is a beautiful brafs for Sir Hugh Hastings, founder of the church, who died 1347, 21 Edward III. He is reprefented in complete armour, the beam of his helmet up : on his left arm a fmall Ihield adorned with his arms, a manche under a label of three points, which is alfo on his furcoat and the pummel of his fhort fword, which is fatten- ed by a belt that paffes obliquely acrofs his hips : his hands elevated and joined : at his feet a lion, now headlefs. Under his head a rich cufifion, fupported by two angels. On each hand a Gothic turret embattled of four ftories, with figures in armour, in niches, and furmounted by a leffer turret, as a finial en- clofing a faint. At the inner fides of thefe turrets a llender pilafter, whofe ca- pital reaches only to the top of the third ftory, fupports an half quatrefoil arch, in whofe centre are reprefented two angels conveying the hero’s foul to heaven. In the pediment in a circle is a reprefentation of St. George and the dragon, the latter under the figure of a devil. The fides of this pyramid are adorned Avith ten crotchets or calceoli, and terminate in a bouquet whofe point is the helmet, and creft a bull’s head. From the fides of the pyramid proceed two brackets, fupporting two niches, in which are feated a King and Queen, furrounded by nimbi ; or, as Mr. Fenn, the Deity and Virgin. The fafeias of the arch, circle and pediment are decorated with rofes or quatrefoils. On each fide of the pediment, and between that and the arch above the battlements of the turrets, as likewife between the tabernacles and fpiracles of the turrets, is placed a heater Afield, on which were formerly enamelled arms, now entirely defaced. In the eight dories of the turrets are in niches as many figures in armour, forne crowned, fome helmeted, and fome bareheaded ; who, by the arms on their fhields, difcover their alliance with the deceafed. I. The firft figure from the top on the right hand, having his fword ereft in his right hand, his left on his bread, on his furcoat, quarterly, France and England, reprefents Edward III. II. The firft on the left fide is a knight in armour, bareheaded, holding in his right hand his helmet, furmounted by a lion guardant; in his left a banner of St. George : on his furcoat three lions paffant guardant, under a file of a. reprefenting Henry Plantagenet earl of Lancajler , great grandfon of Henry III.

On his furcoat G. a fefs between fix crofs crofslets O. reprefenting Thomas Beauchamp earl of Warwick. IV. The third figure on the fame fide is now loft ; but in a drawing taken by- Mr. Kirkpatrick before 1736, he has written Le Defpencer ; whence we may conclude, that it reprefents fome of that family defcended from a collateral branch or a younger foil of Hugh Lord le Defpencer, father of Hugh Earl of Win- chefter, and flain at the battle of Eveftiam, 1265. V. The fecond on the left fide is a knight in complete armour and helmet, ' his right hand elevated, his left on his fword : on his furcoat Hajiings quartering Valence ; reprefenting Laurence Hajiings Earl of Pembroke , nephew by the half blood to Sir Hugh, who died 1348. This is believed to be the oldeft example on record of a fubjecft quartering arms ; and was introduced by the King quartering the arms of France about 1340. VI. The third on this fide is a knight in complete armour and helmet, his right hand on his breaft, in his left a banner of St. George, on his furcoat O a chevron G. reprefenting Ralph Stafford lord Stafford. VII. The fourth and laft figure on the right fide is a knight in armour, bare- headed, his arms croft, reclining on his lhield now blank hung on his battle-ax ; arrhs on his furcoat, Barry of 6 A & Az. in chief 3 torteaux ; reprefenting Roger Grey , lord Grey of Ruthin. VIII. The fourth and laft on the left fide is a knight in complete armour and helmet, his right hand railing his vifor, in his left a fpear and lhield, now blank. On his furcoat O. frette S. on a chief of the fecond, 3 bezants ; reprefenting Lord St. Amand , who married a daughter of Hugh Defpencer earl of Win- chefter. The relation of thefe eight figures to the principal one may be beft feen by the annext pedigree. Their niches or tabernacles are adorned as the centre arch and pediment : the back ground of fome is charged with trailing branches and leaves, or with annulets and quatrefoils lozenge, or with alternate circles or fquares contain- ing- a rofe and crofs botone. The fpace behind the pediment is occupied by fix long narrow compartments, with tracery over them, and furrounded by a fringe of oak leaves : the bafes of the figures are charged with circles and quatrefoils. All the Ihields, now blank, were formerly enamelled with the arms in their proper colours. The lines of the brafs were alfo filled with enamel. The ground of the fillet which went round the whole, and contained the infcrip- tion, of which only a fmall piece is now left, was enamelled with red. So that when the whole 'was entire, and in prefervation, it muft have made a moft beautiful appearance. Mr. Thomas Martin made a fketch of it in 1736, when it appears to have been nearly in its prefent fituation. An impreflion being taken in printers ink by my ingenious friends Sir John Cullum, bart. and Craven Ord, efq. in 1782. was engraved by Mr. John Carter, in the third number of his “ Antient « Sculpture and Paintings of this Kingdom illuftrated with a particular de- fcription, by my friend John Fenn, efq. of Eaft Dereham, from his owri ftores, in which are included a large portion of thofe of Mr. Kirkpatric and Mr. Martin. The fifth figure, Laurence Haftings earl of Pembroke, has been fince en- graved in the original fize in Mr. Carter’s eighth number. D d Pedigree [ 101 ] Mr. Fenn has a neat drawing, by Mr. Kirkpatrick, of the middle fpace of the once beautiful Eaft window of Ell'yng church, reprefenting Sir Hugh Haltyngs and Margaret his wife, lupporting a church, with their arms and other or- naments. The monument of archbilhop Stratford, on the South fide of the high 1348. altar at Canterbury , is very light and rich ; the canopy of three equal lofty arches broken into fix pediments, parted with finials ; but thefe arches are overloaded with other lighter ones, and thefe again with three ungraceful fmaller ones. The front of the altar is charged with fifteen light pointed arches, between which are fix pedeftals, and over thefe arches rounder and flatter ones, and below a fafcia of ftarred quatrefoils. The figure epifcopally habited has the hands joined and railed perpendicularly, and the crofier lying between the right arm and the body : at the head a light canopy, fupported by pillars at the fides. This pre- late died 1348. This monument* with thofe of Kemp and Sudbury, are now -ihut out from the choir Archbilhop Bradwardin was buried the next year in St. Anfelm’s chapel, 1349. under the South wall, under a mean ftone a fmall height from the ground, fuch as the prefent ftate of the church, harraft about the fucceflor to her fee, could afford him, and more than they could to his predecelfor Ufford % who died before confecration, within nine months after his elettion, of the plague, which then raged, and was buried privately, near the North wall, by the wall of St. Thomas Becket, where Godwin 3 by miftake afcribes to him arch- bilhop Peckham’s wooden monument.

The fleeves of his black gown are faced with fur. This munificent man was a native of Eglesfield, a fmall village in Cum- berland, and chaplain to Edward III. who prefented him to the vicarage of Borough, in Weftmoreland, and he was ordained prieft at Carlifle in Lent fol- lowing. This vicarage was appropriated to the college by pope Clement, in 1 344. Dr. Todd fays he was the fon of John Eglesfield and Beatrix his wife, and he is probably the perfon who held the manor of Ravenfwyke, 1 Edward ill. which he afterwards granted to his college to hold of the King in capite. From the inquilition taken 14 Edward III. 1341, it fhould feem he, or fome relation of both his names, died on or about that year. The old Liber Obiialis of the college dates his death 2 cal.

The firft mention of his fucceffor in the vicarage is 1369 ; for we have no other circumftances of his life or death but his moft beneficial inftitution for the emolument chiefly of perfons bom within the counties of Weftmoreland and Cumberland, which counties, above all others, were overrun with igno- rance and barbarifm by the perpetual hoftilities between the borderers on both fides, and which has been productive of infinite advantage, not only to the faid two counties, but the kingdom in general, in furnifhing many able and learned men, both in church and ftate “ The fellows of Eglesfeld’s foundation have fhewed fuch refpedt to the me- mory of their founder, that the place of his burial is unknown ; nay, and the very time of his death is difputable : the obituary (as I have it from other hands, for I never faw it) places it 2 cal. Jun. 1349. “ I flin.ll not meddle any farther with the time of his death, than the proofs I fliall bring to afcertain the place of his interment will allow ; which, though they are not pofitive evidence, yet will make it appear at leaft highly pro- bable that he was buried in the chapel of his own college. They are thefe : “ r . In the computus of Sir John de Hoton, from the 1 3th of October, 1351, to the 1 3th of July following, is this article: “ Libat p’cera 8cl In p’mis p’ cera ix s. p’ xvn li. 8c qu’rt. de q’bus xi lib. lib’a- “ vino p’capell.

The fecond argument I fliall offer is a negative proof of his being not buried but at his own college ; for had he been buried any where elfe, doubtlefs lome of his fellows would have been prefent at his funeral ; and if fo the ex- pi. xxxvi. of Queen's College , Oxford , taken by the late Mr. Mores, who afcribes it to Robert Eglesfield, founder of the faid College. * Burn’i Weftmoreland, I. 566 — 568. pences ■ V ' W’ , .

There was formerly a tradition that he was buried here ; and that the plate under the communion table in the old chapel was defigned for him. This Dr. Shaw has often told me. “ 5. All the pictures of Robert Eglesfeld are exadtly like the effigy repre- fented by this plate ; they were taken from it, as Dr. Shaw told me'.” Near the altar rails in the area of the chancel at Rotbwell, c. Northampton, 1351 on a free ftone is the portraiture in brafs of a prieft in his habit praying, and on a brafs tablet at his feet the following infcription, William de Rothwel was archdeacon of Effex, 1 351, on the prefentation of Edward III. during the vacancy of the fee of London. Newcourt 1 adds, he was king’s chaplain, and that Edward III. gave him the eighth prebend in St. Ste- phen’s collegiate church at Weflminfler, 1351, and that of Croperdy, c. Oxford, in the church of Lincoln, the fame year. Browne Willis 3 , confirms Newcourt’s account, and exprefsly fays he died in the reign of Edward III. and was buried at Rothwell, his native town, with this epitaph undated. There are feveral other braffes in the fame church for the family of Rowell. Roger de Rowell was arch- deacon of Bedford 1292, and held two flails in Lincoln cathedral fucceffively 4 . Mr. Bridges, by a flrange overfight, fays William de Rowell was chaplain and vicar of this church when, the vicarage was firfl ordained, 1220, and fucceeded, 1222, by another vicar 5 . Haymo de Hethe bifliop of Rochefler, who died 1352, was buried in his 1352 own cathedral, by the North wall, according to Weever 6 . This has led fome Fl. to afcribe to him an altar tomb, under a light canopy, in the North wall of the xxxv!I choir, on the right hand, as you afcend up into St. William’s Chapel. Over the tomb, within the arch, hovers a headlefs angel holding a fcroll. This prelate came into poffeffion of his dignities not without oppofition from Edward the Second’s Queen, againft the interefl of this convent, of which he had been prior, and taxt his fee with a penfion to the court of Rome, for its pontiff’s confent to his advancement.

From the neck to the girdle was the complete arms of Boh. His feet lay on a buck couchant powdered with ermine, the creft of the fame fa- mily, which were alfo in the chancel. The circumfcription was in French, painted on the table, and all loft, except thefe words KI AVER A As the arms determined this prieft to be a Boh, fo from the arch that he lies in, which mutt have been made when the chancel was built, it ap- peared that he could be no other than William de Bois, redtor here, who, when he built the chancel, referved this place for his own interment. He after- wards religned this redfory, 13 t 2, and was ffiftituted to the redtory of Garbol- diffiam A !1 Saints, which he refigned fome years after for the vicarage of Great Conerth in Suffolk, of which place he died vicar, about 1352. On removing the figure Mr. Blomfield found it was joined in the middle, and hollow, being full of burnt coals, which were put in there to fuck up the moifture, and keep the ftone dry, that its colours might not be injured. He had it raifed above a foot high from the ground, and painted in its original colours, cau ling this infeription to be put on a plate, and fixed to the wall : “ Languens & dolcns de fubita mutatione fxculi ; quia in omnibus maneriis epifeopatus xdificia 8 c claufurx corruebant, & vix mancria illo anno de c hbris refpondebant.” The monks were reduced to threfh their own corn, and the monaftriei ot Lclnes and Mailing fo dilapida.ed by long negletl that it was not fuppofed they could ever be repaired again.

The flab and figure lie a good way back from the ledge of the altar-tomb, on whofe South front are figures in pairs, and between them fliields with three lozenges richly flowered ; in the middle are two arches fiding a larger, and on the fpandrils the lozenges and bendy of 10 O and Az.

Bartholomew lord Burgherfil founded a chantry for five chaplains, not vicars, nor poffeffed of any other benefice, of whom the chief was to be ftyled Cujlos or Magifler domus de Bnrgber/h, to pray for the fouls of king Edward III. and queen Philippa, Edward prince of Wales, and the reft of his children, the founder, and his wife Elizabeth, their eldeft fon Bartholomew, and the reft of their children ; Mary de St. Paul countefs of Pembroke, Simon de Iflip, and Peter de Gildefburgh canon of Lincoln ; and efpecially for the foul of Henry late bifliop of Lincoln ; Robert de Burgherfil, father, and Matilda, mother, of the faid bilhop ; Gilbert de Clare late earl nf Gloucefter ; Matilda, wife of the faid Bartholomew lord Burgherfil, his brother and fifter, and other benefactors of the faid Bartholomew the father, and Henry late bifliop of Lincoln, in the chapel of St. Catharine, where the faid Henry was buried. He endowed it with forty-feven marks fterling per annum, payable by the bailiffs of the city of Lin- coln to the dean and chapter. Dat. 28 April, 1345. He further ordered fix chorifters to be paid ten pounds out of the faid endowment, after all expences of the cuftos and chaplains were dediufted. Dat. 14 kal. March, 1348. This en- dowment was improved by his foil Bartholomew lord Burgherfil (who died 1369) with leave of John * bifliop of Lincoln and the dean and chapter, and confirmed by Simon Iflip arctlbifliop of Canterbury ! . The charities of this foundation ftiil fubfift. The form of admiflion of Bartholomew lord Burgherfil, brother of bifliop Henry Burgherfil. into the brotherhood of the dean and chapter, 1343, is too curious to be omitted here. It both fettles his alliances, and records his bene- factions. 1 8 kal. Maii, A.

The portraiture that lay on this monument of Sir John Tiptoft is now gone ” Dugdale’s plan in the Monafticon III. 256. and Willis, after him, give this to Robert lord Badlejmere. If it belonged to any of the Badlefmere family it fhould rather feem intended for an honorary monument of Bartholomew lord Badlesmere, who was buried at Canterbury. At lealt from the arms of his fourth daughter’s huffiand, on his tomb, I inclined, for want of better evidence, to aferibe it to him, though Leland gives it to Robert Burwajh, or more properly Bartholomew , brother of Biffiop Burwajh. Sii William Dugdale, or rather biffiop Sanderfon in the MS before cited, gives this account of this monument : “ On the North fide of our Lady’s chapel, on a tomb, behind the Queen’s [Eleanor’s] lieth a full pourtraiture of a man in com- plete armour : on his furcoat a lion rampant queue fruflie, and under his head, ll P°n his helmet, a demi lion rampant cue fruffie. This I take to be the monu- ment of Sir John Tiptoft, fon of Adam lord Wells the younger, who lived in the time of king Edward III. and married Matilda daughter of William lord Iloos of Hamelake. On the South fide four large efcocheons carved.” On which I can only obferve, that this paragraph is very inconfiftent and unintelli- gible, confounding this with the monument in the North wall of Burgherffi’s chapel, before deferibed, p. 108. On the lame fide, at the head of this tomb, he deferibes biffiop Burwaffi’g tomb : lb that, according to Leland, this tomb on which there is not now the leall trace of a figure having lain on it, fhould belong to the biffiop’s brother, whole monument is rather that oppofite, in the North wall, whereon are the arms ol I'erdon , whom he married. MS. before cited. Not- Prletoot Cljeualtr nc moiuft k' -stiff- [ H3 1 Notwith {landing the various opinions about this tomb it is mod: probable it" vtas ere&ed for John Lord Welles, who died 35 Edward III. 1361. feized of vaft pofleffions in the county of Lincoln. He married Maud daughter of William Lord Rofs of Hamlake, by Margery fouth daughter of Bartholomew, and filter and coheir of Giles Lord Baddlefmere. This John was fon and heir of Adam Lord Welles, who dying when he was young, his wardfhip was granted 1 9 Edward III. 1345, to Margery de Baddlefmere, the widow of William Lord Rofs of Hamlake, who married him to Maud her daughter. He died a young man, and as Margery Lady Rofs his guardian furvived, it is probable {he eredtcd this tomb for him, which may account for its being ornamented with the effigies and arms of her and her huffiand, and her relations of the Baddlefmere family, which has led Leland, Dugdale, and other antiquaries, into an error, by fup- pofing it a cenotaph ere&ed for Bartholomew Lord Baddlefmere, who was bu- ried at Canterbury, which is very improbable. The plans beforementioned give the monument oppofite to it to Lionel lord Welles. In the North aile of the chancel at Wotion , c.

Her lieaddrefs is long and clofe, adorned with network of quatrefoils ; fire wears a mantle and ftrait robe reaching up to her chin, and parting juft below it, a boddice with a cordon ; at her head angels, at her feet a greyhound. This monument belongs to Thomas Lord Berkeley, who -had the cuf- tody of Edward II. in this caftle, and cautioufly took care to be out of the way at the time of his murder ; on which account he was afterwards ac- quitted ; though he openly protected the executioners, and entertained the Queen and Mortimer here next year.

On the fills of the windows of the South aile lie two fmall figures ; one has a hound at its feet, its hands in a praying pofture ; the other the right hand on the breaft, the left pointing down, and at the feet two dogs.

His figure, in the centre, is habited in flowing hair, clofe coat flit below the waift, with long clofe fleeves and ftanding cape, and an under garment appear- ing at his neck, and in pointed (hoes fattened on the inltep with a lace or latchet. Under his head is a wrought cufhion rounded at the corner, and fup- ported by angels, and under his feet a lingular but clafiical reprefentation of the llory of Prometheus and the Vulture ; worthy the invention of Albert Durer. His two wives are on each fide of him, habited in hoods or coifs, and a kind of neckerchief gathered under and round the chin, their gowns clofe about their arms and waift?, but falling thence in elegant folds, and gathered and held up on the right arm of one, and left arm of the other ; the fleeves richly embroider- ed from a little above the elbow to the wrift, in nearly the fame pattern on both ladies, and the wriftbands clofe and double banded : the hems and linings of thefe gowns are likewife richly flowered, but with more variety of patterns. At the feet of each lady is a dog, with a collar of bells : that at the feet of the light hand lady is of the fpaniel kind, the other like a fliaggy cur. Both ladies as well as their husband, recline their heads on rich flowered cufliions fup- ported by angels. Each figure is under a rich arch adorned with crochets and bouquets, with a back ground not uniformly ornamented. Over the point of each nich is a fitting figure, aged, with a nimbus, and holding an infant in its arms, and fided by angels holding cenfers, and playing on harps and violins, and divided and furmounted by the richeft Gothic work in various patterns. The two prin- cipal pillars at the fides have in niches each tour figures of men and women: the men in hats and fliort doublets, with or without long fleeves ; one in a clofe long cloak, and one in a cloak covering only his left fide. The three women have the fame habits as the larger ones, only one has the hood under the chin like theirs. In the middle of the right pillar are the arms of England and-France quarterly, and of the left a crol's ingrailed thofe of Branch ‘. 1 TnMakerell’s Hift. of Lynne, and in Green’s MS. furvey of the church, * S* a crofe ingrailed O. is the coat of Peyton.

He may be feated at the upper end or right hand of the plate, and the aldermen and their wives in a row below him. In confirmation of this laft con- jecture one might even fancy one fees, among other decorations of the table, the lilver cup which king John had prefented to the town at his laft vifit, 1216, above a century before. ' Among the delicacies of this fplendid table one fees the peacock, that noble bird . , the food of lovers and the meat of lords Few diffies were in higher falhion in. the 1 3th century, and there was fcarce any royal or noble feaft without it. They fluffed it with lpices and fweet herbs, and covered the head with a cloth, which was kept conftantly wetted, to preferve the crown. They roafted it, and lefved it up whole, covered after dreffing with the Ikin and feathers on, the comb intire, and the tail fpread. Some perfons covered it with leaf gold inftead of its Ikin, and put a piece of cotton dipt in fpirits into its beak, to which they fet lire as they put it on the table. The honour of ferving it up was referved for the ladies molt dif- tinguifhed for birth, rank, or beauty, one of whom, followed by others, and at- tended by mufick, brought it up in the gold or filver difh, and fet it before the mailer of the houfe, or the gueft moft diftinguifhed for his courtefy and valour, or after a tournament before the victorious knight, who was to difplay his fkill in carving the favourite fowl, and take an oath of valour and enterprife on its head. The romance of Lancelot, adopting the manners of the age in which it was written, reprefents king Arthur doing this office to the fatisfadlion of 500 guefts. A picture by Stevens, engraved by L’Empereur, reprefents a peacock feaft. Monf. d’Aufly had feen an old piece of tapeftry of the 15th century, reprefenting the fame fuhjeCt, which he could not afterwards recover to engrave in his curious. Hiilory of the Private Life of the French \ It may flatter the vanity of an Englifh liiftorian to find this defideratum here fupplied. The antient family of Braunche were fettled at Greffiam and Kelling 3 , and North Barlham 4 , in this county, fo early as the reign of Henry II. They had alfo a moiety of Aylmerton, where we may trace them thus. William Braunche had a fon named Richard, a benefactor to Caftleacre priory, taken priloner by king John in the wars with his barons, and on the peace, 1213, he obtained the king’s licence and writ to the flieriff of Norfolk to make an aid on his tenants to ranfom him. His fon was named Peter, knighted, and married Joan heirefs of the maners of Kenton, Cornerd, and Brandon, c. Suffolk 5 . The arms of Wyndham impaling Braunch are among thofe of the benefactors to the cathedral of Norwich, on its Hone roof 6 ; and his fon Richard, 44 Henry III. granted Aylmerton to earl Warren 7 . We meet alfo at Grefham with Sir Roger Braunche fon of William, and with Nicholas Braunche, all collaterals of the other family. At Wiggenhale St. Germans was feated Sir John Braunche, who had three fons,. Sir Philip, William, and John, whofe widow, Catherine, died 1420. and Wil- liam Braunche of Spillby, co. Lincoln, had an intereft in their eftate 8 . The fame lady had property at Birlingham and Hanworth, and Robert Braunche 1 Such are the epithets beftowed on it by Romance writeri. 1 1 . p. 2gq — 303.

This man, aflociate with Sir Thomas Gurney in the cruel murder of Edward II. at Berkeley caftle, received his pardon for that attrocious deed on account of his fervices in Edward Ill’s wars in France, and had the government of Guernfey conferred on him. Hollinflied 6 , fpeaking of him before the death of Ed- ward II. calls him John Lord Matrevers, and is authorifed herein by the title of Baron on his tomb, though Dugdale fays none of the family were Barons before 1 Edward III.

Carte 1 fays, he lived 26 years in Germany, and finding means to do fome fervices to Edward 111. he came and threw himfelf at the king’s feet in Flanders, fubmitting his life to his difpofal, and was pardoned. Dugdale adds from the Parliament Rolls that he loft all his goods in his fervices in Flanders, and fuffered great opf)reffion ; and having obtained licence to return to England, he procured a full pardon in parliament 25 Edward III. and again had fummons to fit there, the firft of his fa- mily. Next year, upon his fon’s death, he had the government of Guernfey, Jerfey, Sark, and Aurency, and was in the expedition again ft France 29 Edward III. He founded an hofpital for poor men and women at Bowes in Guernfey, and died 16 Feb. 28 Edward III. 1365 ; fo that as he was 30 at the death of his father, 24 Edward I. and was knighted 34 Edward I. he muft have been 99 at the time of his death : and had time to reconcile himfelf tb God as well as to his Sovereign; — if anything but the deepeft contrition on his part could expiate fo atrocious a crime ; for which his epitaph follicits the prayers of its readers, and their falvation for their piety. He begs hard, and offers handfomely, for the pardon of his aggravated fins. Ilis fon, John Maltravers, was concerned in the Earl of Lancafter’s rebellion, and fled for it ! . It is not certain whether his lands were feized for this, 5 Ed- ward III. Dugdale 3 confounds his and his father’s wife at firft, but afterwards diftinguifhes them : the father having married Agnes widow of John Argentine and John Nerford ; and the fon Wentliana. Agnes was fecond wife to John the elder, who had by her another fon, who died 9 Richard II, leaving two daugh- ters, of whom the younger married Humphrey Stafford, whofe father, Sir Humphrey Stafford, had married her mother. Agnes made her will in the parifh of St. John Zachary, London, 1374, by which fhe orders her body to be buried near her hufband, if fhe died in Dorfetfliire or Wilts ; but if in Hert- fordihire or C amb ridge Ihire at Wimondley priory, to which fhe gave her plate after her fon’s death. ' The eftates of this family were confiderable in Dorfet ; where Dugdale traces them back to the time of Henry III. Lechiot Maltravers feems to have been their manfion-houfe. The church was probably built about the end of Edward Ill’s reign, fince Agnes abovementioned leaves forty fhillings to the fabric , which I underftand to imply building, and not an occafional repair or upholding. An epitaph juft within the door makes one Margaret Clement a benefa<5trefs to the rebuilding in 1500 ; and of this age the ftyle feems to be.

William Delapole, father of the firft earl of Suffolk of that family, died PI, on or before 40 Edward 111 . 1367.; in which year an inquifition was taken of XLVI.his lands, and livery of them granted to his fon. He was a merchant of abili- ties, and equalled by none in England, and firft mayor of Hull, where he in- tended to found an hofpital, as afterwards a nunnery of Minoreffes, which his foil made a Carthufian monaftery. He lent Edward HI. large fums of money at different times, for which the king made him fecondary baron of the exchequer 13 Edward 111 . and beftowed on him the lordfhip of Holdernefs, with the dig- nity of a baneret, and allowance for the fupport thereof out of the cuftoms of the port of Hull 3 . He was buried at Trinity church at Hu/l, with his wife Catharine. Their monument, with their two figures, is here engraved, pi. XLVI. from a drawing in Mr. Walpole’s collection. He is bareheaded, reclin- ing his head on two cufhions, habited as a merchant in an outer cloak or man- tle buttoned clofe at the neck, with a ftanding cape, and buttons down the fides. His coat has fix buttons on the breaft, and the fleeves are buttoned, and reach to his wrifts. At his belt hangs a dagger or whittle : at his feet is a lion. She leems to wear the mitred headdrefs, falling down in plaits at the fides of her face : her dole gown buttoned on the waift, and alfo the fleeves, which reach to the wrifts. Under this is a petticoat, and over it falls a kind of veil. In her hands (lie holds a heart. Her head refts on two cufhions fupported by angels. At her feet a dog.

John Evesham prior of Worcejter , who died 1370, is fuppofed to own the monument in the North aile of the choir there, under a pointed arch of nail-head quatrefoils in one inner moulding.

Mr. Abingdon is doubtful whether this belongs to a bifhop or a prior. If a prior it was probably defigned for John de Evefham, who was buried in the North aile, being one of the firft priors interred in this church.

Eflex, is an alabafter altal- Pl.LII. tomb, inclofed in a pew, fo that only the front and Eaft end appear. The former has eleven fmall figures (the twelfth broken away); fix are in the long ftrait fluted mantle, with the right arm under it on their breads ; three have a fhorter fimilar habit or doublet, with a belt acrofs the Ihoulders ; and two the fame robe, with a cloak over the lhoulders, and no belt. At the Eaft end, or foot of the tomb, are fix fmall figures, one in armour; four in long habits, of which one has a row of beads, or buttons, down the middle of the front : the fixth is a woman. The conformity between thefe figures and thofe on the preceding monument requires no illuftration. On the tomb lies an alabafter figure of a knight in a hawberk and fhoes of mail, and gauntlets ; at his feet a lion ; under his head angels ; his fword by his right fide, broken. There is room for two figures more by him, but ip- ftead thereof we have a beautiful buft, in the Greek tafte, with a long beard, for- merly parted, and a fillet, which is fuppofed to reprefent the Saracen whom one of this family flew in the croifades in the reign of Richard I. and not to have belonged to any body, though there appears to have been a pin of the fame materials rather cut than broken off. Near it lies a headlefs buft, of coarfer ma- terials and workmanfhip, with an hole equal to the fize of fuch a pin, though it rather had a head of its own. Daniel King makes it the bafe of the boar on a chapeau, fo it probably was an helmet under the head of another figure of this family. And perhaps the Saracen’s head may have ferved the fame purpofe. This tomb Mr. Walpole’s MS. and King’s draught refer to Thomas Verb eighth 'earl of Oxford, who died 45 Edward III. 1371. We have very few particulars of his life. He married Maud daughter of Sir Ralph Ufford lord chief juftice of Ireland, and by her had one fon, Robert, of whom hereafter. He dire&ed his body to be buried on the North fide of the chapel of St. Peter’s, ap- pointing for the charge of his funeral £.133. 6 s. 8 d. The tomb is engraved from a drawing by Daniel King, which, notwithftand- ing its diftortion, will convey a good idea of the figures at the fides. The earl’s figure below is from a drawing by Mr. Tyfon. *372. At Lincoln, on the North fide of the South chapel, called William the Conqueror's , adjoining to Lady Chapel, under high pointed ftone arches, lies on an altar tomb, on a table of fpeckled marble or freeftone painted, the .trunk of an armed knight, having on his furcoat a fefs vaire A. and Az. between three leopards’ heads jeflant fleurs de lis O.

In the North tranfept of the choir of Salifbury cathedral, removed from the choir, when it was new paved, 1684, is a large marble inlaid in brafs, comme- morating Robert Wivil, bifliop of Salifbury , who died 1375. This prelate fucceeded Roger de Mortival, 1329, by the intereft of Edward the Third’s queen with the pope, and filled this fee forty-five years. One of the moll remarkable events of his life was his difpute with William Montacute earl of Salisbury about the caftle of Sherborne, c. Dorfet. Agreeable to the provifions made at Oxford, by which it was provided that the king’s cattles fliould be delivered into the hands of twenty-four of the barons, this cattle had been furrendered, and delivered to Stephen Longefpee, 1258, 42 Henry HI. having been in the crown ever fince Stephen feized it 1139. Edward III. granted it 1337 to William Monteacute earl of Salisbury, and Catha- rine his wife, for his fervices againtt Mortimer. 1355, 28 Edward III. bifliop Wyvil brought a writ of right againtt; the earl for this caftle. The claims of the refpetftive parties were fo complicated that it was thought impofiible to determine them by legal iflue. They were therefore referred to Angle combat. At the time appointed the bifliop brought his champion to the lifts, cloathed in white, with his lordfliip’s arms on his furcoat. The earl’s cham- pion was habited in the fame manner, with his arms depitfted on his furcoat. Both were preparing to engage, when an order was brought from the king to refer the difpute to another day. In the mean time matters were compromifed by the friends of both parties, on the earl’s ceding the caftle to the bifliop and his fucceflors, on payment of 2500 marks. The bifliop further procured for his church the reftitution of the chace of Bere in Berkfhire. Bifliop Godwin in his life of this prelate, and Mr. Camden in his Britannia 4 , fay that the cattle of Old Sarum was included in this claim. But that caftle feems never to have belonged to the biftiops of that fee, and confequently could not be recovered, though it might belong to the Monteacutes, as being the capital of their earldom. This is confirmed by the infcription round bifliop Wyvil’s monument, in which only the recovery of the caftle of Sherborne, and the chafe of Bere, is mentioned. 29 Edward III. an indenture occurs between the bifliop of Sarum and William de Monteacute, touching the caftle of Sherborne, but nothing is faid in it of the caftle of Sarum 5 . The bifliop died in Sherborne caftle, Sept. 4, 1375, in the 46th year of his confecration, and was buried in the choir of his cathedral near the throne. Walfingliam 6 defcribes this prelate as fo very illiterate and unclerical a perfon that it was believed if the pope had feen him he never would have advanced him to fuch a dignity. Burton makes him a native of Stanton in Leicefter- lliire. The caftle of Sherborne is here reprefented with its keep and portcullis. At the door of the firft ward ftands the bifliop, pontifically habited, with his mitre and crofier, and his hands elevated ; and below him, at the foot of the fteps of the gate of the outer wards, ftands his champion, in a clofe coat, with breeches, Dart.

The archbilhop was probably born at Weftrainfter, where his parents feem to have lived, and are buried in the nave of the church. 1 p - J °S- 3 P. 155. 5 Hutchins’ Hid. of Dorfet, II. 386. b Hid.

His Afield hangs on a pillar near the head of the tomb, and has had handles, As the choir and Eaft part of the church are built over vaults the bodies could not be interred in vaults, except down in the undercroft, and therefore it is probable are lodged in the ftone chefts. His will directs, that his tomb be of marble, of good mafonry, and placed where his body was to lye, before the altar at Canterbury, fo that the feet end of it be ten feet diftant from the altar '. The epitaph, inlaid in brafs, is in Old French, much in the ftyle and fpirit of the Romant of the Rofe and other rhymes of that age, and the beginning of it exatftly refembles that of John Warren feventh earl of Surrey, given by Sir William Dugdale, from Lewes abbey regifterh It is exprefslv ordered in his will to be put on the moft vifible part of the tomb, at the difcretion of his executors s .

The prince founded a chantry, 1363) with licence of his father, in the chapel called by Mr. Somner “ the Lady Undercroft,” in the middle of which Becket was buried. He made a very confiderable alteration in the Gothic tafte, with ribs curioufly moulded, and carved ornaments at their interfedlions, among which are his arms. This was called the Black Prince’s Chapel. The endow- ment for the chantry was Vauxhall manor, near London, now belonging to the dean and chapter of Canterbury. The houfes for the priefts belonging to it were at the bottom of Bell’s lane in Canterbury, where a Hone door-way not long fince remained and the place is or was lately privileged under the board of Greencloth \ This prince, “ the flower of Englifh knights,” as Froiffart® calls him, died at Weftminfter, on Trinity Sunday, 1376, and was embalmed and put into a leaden coffin, and kept till Michaelmas following, in order to his being buried with greater refpedt and train, when the parliament was fitting. Mr. Goftling remarks here, that from the time of John all the headpieces on great feals are made fo clofe as not to fhew the face, and the Black Prince’s, on his leal refembles this over his monument, except that it has more and larger air holes. This falhion continued till Edward IV. on whofe feal part of the face is open, as on thole of his fucceflors to Henry VIII. the firft that dif- covered the whole face by a vizor lifted up, which feems to be the defign on his feal. ' This may hold true of kings and princes ; but certainly not of all others univerfally. The helmets in which effigies on tombs are ufually reprefented are very different ; and as thefe latter were contrived to fhew the face, is not this the Itrongeit argument in favour of genuine portraits on tombs. 1376.

In his hands were two feeptres, as in thofe of Henry 111. and it is far from improbable, that this is a counterpart of the body in the tomb. Over all is a decayed wooden Gothic canopy. Dart fays his corpfe lies in the fame grave with his Queen Philippa, as Ihe defired on her death-bed 3 . His perfon is thus deferibed by Walfingham 1 : “ Corpore fuit elegans , Jtatura qua nec juftum excederet nec nimis deprejjioni Juccumberet , vultum habens humana mortalitate magis venerabilem, fimilem angelo, in quo relucebat tam mirifica gratia ut fi quis in ejus faciempalam refpex- ijet vel nodte de illo fomniajfet eo proculdubio die fperabat ftbi jocunda folatia proven* tura .” His portrait, drawn and engraved, as his conforms, by Mr. Bafire, may be feen PI. LVI. This great prince, who wiped out the ftain of his premature acceffion to the crown of England by the unnatural intrigues of his mother, with equal glory fupported the king of Scots in his throne, on which his grandfather had placed him, and his own claim to the crown of France, and after he had in two bloody battles exhaufted the blood of its beft fubjefts, difmembered that kingdom of feme of its beft provinces. The firft forty years of his reign were truly glorious. The decline of his life diftreffed by the lofs of his confort and his gallant fon Edward prince of Wales, and the ambition of his fourth foil John of Gaunt ; and finking into dotage, his affedions fixt on unworthy objefts, he clofed a life of 64 years, and a reign of 56 (the longeft of any of our fovereigns fence Henry 111.) at Shene% June 21, 1377. His body was brought, by four of 1 ■ Flos return prelerilorum makefpwtffaTepitaph which Walfingham (Hid. p. jo.) fays a Welfli monk made on Llewellin, who was put to death by Edward I. 1283. ’ 1 Hid. 193.

Hie erat (fays an old Chronicle in the Cottonian Library, cited by Weever 3 ) jlos mundane militie, fub quo militare erat regnare , projicifci projicere , conftigere , triumphare. Hie vere Edwardus quamvis in hojles terribilis extiter at , in fubditos tamen mitijjimm fuerat & gratio/us , pietate & mifericordia omnes pene Juos preecellens antecejjbres. Milles 4 fays, “ it is reported that his Queen made it her dying requeft, that he would choofe none other fepulchre than that wherein her body fliould be layed.” This he had from Froiffart, who mentions two other dying requefts made by her. “ When the good lady knew that fhe muft die, fhe fent for the king, and when he came fhe drew her right hand out of the bed, and putting it into his right hand, the good lady faid, ‘ We have lived all our time together in peace, joy, and profperity, I beg you at this parting to grant me three favours.’ The king in tears replied, ‘ Afk, Madam, and it fliall be done and granted.’ She then requefted, ‘ that he would difeharge the money due from her to foreign merchants, that he would pay her legacies to the feveral churches both at home and abroad and to her fervants, and that he would choofe no other place of burial, but lie by her in Weftminfter abbey.’ All thefe he promifed to fulfil. The good lady then made the fign of the true crofs on him 5 , and commended the king and her youngeft fon, Thomas, who flood by him, to God, and prefently after lhe refigned her foul, which, fays the honeft writer, I firmly believe was received by the holy angels, and conveyed to heavenly blifs ! for never in her life did fhe do or think any thing which fliould en- danger her falvation !” Thus died this queen at Windfor, on the vigil of our Lady in the middle of Auguft, 1369 6 .” It is remarkable of this prince, as well as his grandfather, that we hear of no natural children of his, though Walfingham 1 feems to aferibe his death to fome amorous indulgences of his dotage with Alice Price. The pleafures of his youth were the chace and building, in which he paffed all the time he could fpare from government and conqueft. 1 a Viaire decouvcrtc, Froiffart. * Ypod. Neuftr. 531.

On [ 142 ] On the little tomb of Margaret, Edward -IV’s daughter, at the head of this tomb, is placed the fhield and fword pretended to have been carried before this king in France, but more probably ornamented like that of the Black Prince; the latter is above feven feet long from head to point, and weighs eighteen pounds 1 : The blade of iron is five feet three inches long, three inches and an half wide at hilt, diminilhing to one and an half at point; the crofs bar is two feet long ; the hilt one foot eleven inches long ; the grafp is wood once covered with leather, one foot three inches and three quarters, fet in an iron focket, and headed with an iron oftagon pomel three inches and a quarter wide. The fword of ftate of this king, in the chapter-houfe at Windfor, is of this kind ; the woodden handle one loot four inches long, blade four foot eight inches, iron crofs one foot 3 . The fhield is three feet one inch long, of wood, covered with leather over cloth nailed on round the fides as a border, thirteen inches and a quarter from the top is a fpike by way of bofs or umbo. Under one of the South arches of the nave at Exeter is an altar tomb of alabafter, with the figure of Hugh Courtney - firft earl of Devon of that name, who died ult. Edward III. and his wife Margaret daughter of Humphrey de Bohun earl of Hereford 3 . He is in armour, with angels at his head and a lion at his feet. She has the reticulated headdrefs, ftrait boddice, and loofe robe fomething like a coronet on her head, and a hawk at her feet. There were fix niches on a tide, and three at the feet, and fhields on all, but now effaced, and the figures themfelves miferably mangled. PI. Some time in the reign of Edward III. died Sir John de Creke, who has a LVII. brafs memorial in the church of Wejlley Waterlefs , c. Cambridge, one of the moft finifhed and elegant of the time, engraved in pi. LVI. from a draw- ing by Mr. Kerrich, given by him to the late Mr. Cole, and by Mr. Cole to me. The outline of the figures both of Sir John and his lady is remarkably corredf, and her figure in particular perfectly Grecian. He is in compleat mail, except the exterior half of his arms, legs, and feet, which are plated, as alfo the armour below his elbows to his wrifts, and his hands are bare. At the joints of his fhoulders and elbows are leopard’s faces. On his fhield are his arms : on a fefs three lozenges vaire s . The rowels of his fpurs are round, and at his feet is a lion. She is in a veil and mantle falling in graceful folds, and the wimple under her chin : her loofe head-drefs or veil juft difcovers the reticulated head-drefs. At her feet is a dog looking up to her. All that remains of the infcnprion, which was in Old French and capitals, is lyne : fa : femme In the North tranfept of Ripon minfter, near the North door, is an altar tomb of freeftone^ with an embattled moulding, with the figures of a knight and lady. He is in plated armour, round plated helmet, with a lion at his feet, and a helmet with a creft under his head. On the fides of the tomb, a faltire, a chevron, a crofs patonce, a maunch, a bend charged with three roundels, a lion rampant.

He Was probably a benefactor to that church. It broad fword a it may be one of the Markenfields and their wives, whofe tombs with ii Leland faw here ’. imaged In a chapel of the fame tranfept is another altar tomb of the fame materials, with a knight in plated armour, with mail gorget, pointed helmet, on his fin-coat and fcabbard a bend charged with rofes : under his head an helmet with a beaft on a torfe. His lady by him is miferably defaced. At the fides of the tomb, whofe moulding is embattled, are in pendant fhields, fix on a fide, a faltire, a chevron, three waterbougetS, frette a canton, a crofs fiord. This may be the other of Leland’s Markenfields. The tradition of the place afcribes this to one of the Burtons of Ingreth'orp ; and the former to a Markeri- feld, Reward to an archbifhop of York, The families may have intermarried. Mr. Salmon * notes thefe tombs as remarkable for having the ladies at the right hand of the hufbands ; which is not fo extraordinary as he imagined ! . William de Ufford, fecond Earl of Suffolk, by will proved at Lambeth, j-g Feb.24, 1381, direfts his body to be buried at Campqffe nunnery, c. Suffolk : “ derere la tombe en quele mes tres honores piere et miere gifenf;” and Ifabella, daughter of Thomas Beauchamp earl of Warwick, his widow, who took the veil in this houfe ! , by will proved Odt. 28, 1416, diredts, “ mon corps a la terre “ d’eftre interrez a Campfeye jouft monfeigneur 6 .” William dropt down dead bn the Heps of the Houfe of Lords, 1381, as he was carrying up from the Houfe of Commons ’ a reprefentation of grievances, containing, among others, that of expenfe in drefs. Robert de Ufford his father, firft earl of Suffolk of that name, by will, dated on the feflival of St. Peter and St. Paul, 1368, 42 Edward III. proved at Cherying, 9 kali Dec. 1369, diredts his body to be buried “a Campaffe, de- “ foults l’arche parentre la chapelle St. Nicholas & le haut altier, on le tombe “ eut elte ordeigne He had married Cecily daughter and coheir of Robert de Valoines, whofe anceftors founded the nunnery of Campeffe, c.

In a vifit to it, however, with my friend Mr. ' id, I difcovered at the farm-houfe, at the foot of the horfeblock, a flab of white ftone' infcribed, as reprefented below ( I ), to the memory of one of the prioreffes.

Richard Lions, a famous merchant of wines, and a lapidary, fometime one of the fheriffs, beheaded in Cheape by Wat Tyler and other rebels, in the year 1381, had his picture on his graveftone, very fair and large, in the church of .St. Martin’s Vintry, London , with his hair rounded by the ears and curled, a little beard forked, a gown girt to him down to his feet, of branched clamalk, wrought with the likenefs of flowers, a large purle on his right fide hanging- in a belt from his left fhoulder, a plain hood about his neck covering his ihoulders and hanging back behind him 2 * Wat Tyler had been his Tervant and been beaten by him for Tome fault? which he took this opportunity to revenge, and after cutting off his head had it carried before him on the point of a fpear 3 . The commons had petitioned the king again ft him for frauds on the revenue while he was farmer or receiver of the general fubfidy and cuftoms, for which he made his fubmiflion 4 . Simon SudBury, archbifliop of Canterbury, who fell a martyr to the Tame furious infurgents at the Tame time, has a plain tomb under a rich canopy of ten arches, of which two are round, and the points of Teven terminated without pillars, and from thefe points defeend animals : the fide of the tomb has five round arches, and fix Iqfler pointed 5 . Though the body of this pre- late was depofited here, his head, which the rebels fet upon London Bridge, was carried to his native town of Sudbury, where it remains in the veftry of St. George’s church,, the upper part of which he rebuilt. It is intire, the fkin dried like tanned leather, and the ears intire in the fame prefervation ; the mouth was wide open, occafioned by the blows, not fewer than eight, he received before his head was cut off 6 ; the teeth having been almoft all ftolen, the under jaw is now 1 aliened in with nails. It is fecured by a grate in a niche of the wall. The hif- tory of the archbifliop written on parchment is fattened on the infide of the door before it. At the Eaft end of the North aile of this church is a blue flone four yards by two, once adorned with an old fafhioned crofs in brafs. Under this the arch- billiop or ids father are faid to lie. The anonymous writer of Richard the Second’s life pubhihed by Hearne, 1729, p. 33, exprefsly fays, both the body .md head of the prelate were buried at Canterbury : though Weever thought Ins tomb there a cenotaph. His father was a gentleman of Sudbury. iitoMAs Hatfield, who died 1381, has a monument under the bifliop’s throne % between two pillars of the South lide of the choir at Durban, under a beautiful canopy of wood; his figure recumbent, in his robes, two angels at his head, a lion at his feet.

When the king heard of his death he was very angry, and fwore that the matter lhould not rell here, for that he had been wrongfully put to death, and without any colour of reafon. He was much beloved by him, having conftantly attended him in his infancy, and been greatly eileemed by Edward III. and by the Black Prince, who appointed him tutor to his fon. The queen alfo laid it to heart, and flied many tears on the occafion : for he had condudled her from Germany to England. She in vain implored his life of the Duke of Gloucefter, with tears, on her knees 3 .

On the South fide of the chancel at Wingfield, Suffolk (one of the rich repofitories of our illuftrious dead) is the monument of Michael de la Pole, firft of the name, earl of Suffolk, and his wife Catharine Wingfield. He died 1 2 Richard II. The tomb is of freeftone, altar-fafhioned, having on the South fide eight, and at the Eafl end three niches, with double purfled finials, which once contained the images of his five fons and three daughters, whofc names were written above, and faintly appear through the white walh. The fons were Michael, Thomas, William, Richard, and John ; the daughters, Mary Elizabeth, and Anne 4 . Richard and Anne are left out or loft, and others who perhaps died young, as Alexander, Thomas, Catharine, Philippa, and Ifabella, inferted. At the head were two Ihields. A moulding runs round the tomb adorned with Bowler’s knots and lion’s heads, and againft the North fide are four ftone Halls with a pair of Ihields hanging at the back of each, but whited over. Upon the tomb lie the wooden figures of a knight and lady, hollow, open at the back, and fingle. lie has whilkers, a pointed clofe helmet, a coat of mail, belt on which were juft vifible the Wingfield arms till painted over by the late incumbent Dr. Leman ; pointed flioes, his gorget and arm-pieces plated ; at his feet a lion with a fingle tail, under his head a helmet, with a faracen’s head in a bonnet coming down below the ears and over the cheeks. She is dreft in a long plaited clofe gown, and over it a loofe robe with large loofe fleeves : her head-drefs is reticulated, bound in front by a fillet with rofes, and falls down in lappets at the fide of her face ; her cufliion is double, with taflels ; at her feet a lion. This Michael de la Pole being a great favourite with Richard II. was by him advanced to the poll of Chancellor, and keeper of the great feal, and afterwards created earl of Suffolk, 1385. He fupported his lovereign in his arbitrary meafures as long as he could ; but was forced to refign the Chancellorfhip, and * B.

This Sir Guy de Brian was knighted by Edward III. juft before the battle of Crefty, 1346 and was one of the executors to Thomas Beauchamp the great earl of Warwick, who died 1370, [of whom fee before, p. 127.] who left him a cup and a horfe.

The Italian writers 1 (who are much more diffufive in his praife than his L 1 X. own countrymen) fay he was buried in the church of St. Reparata at Florence, where a Jlatue (as Poggio and Rofli call it, though it is well known to be a portrait) was put up by a public decree. If the Florentine hiftorians did not diftinguifh between a ftatue and a portrait, no wonder our countryman Stowe 3 talks of an image of a man on borfebacke as great as a mighty pillar , eredted to his memory at Florence, or that Weever 4 , copying him, calls it a ftatue. Fuller 5 fays, “ they adorned him with the Jlatue of a man of arms , and a fumptuous monu- “ ment, wherein his allies remain honoured to this prefent day and Rapin 6 , that “ they eredted in this city a black marble ftatue, in acknowledgement of his “ fervices.” Sir John had a cenotaph in the church of his native town, eredted by his executors Robert Rokeden fenior and junior, and John Coe. It is defcribed by Weever 7 as “ a tomb archt over, and engraven to the likenefs of hawks fly- ing in a wood,” which Fuller 8 fays, was u quite flown away.” It is plain the laft of thefe writers never took any pains to vifit or procure true information about this monument, which ftill remains in good prefervation near the upper end of the fouth aifle of Sible Hedingham church. The arch of this tomb is of the mixt kind, terminating in a fort of bouquet, on both fides of which over the arch are fmaller arches of tracery in relief. The arch is adorned with hawks and their bells, and other emblems of hunting, as a hare, a boar, a boy founding a conch-lhell, 8cc. The two pillars that fupport it are charged with a dragon and lion. Under this arch is a low altar-tomb with five fliields in quatrefoils, formerly painted. One of them feems to have been charged with a bend cotized. On the flab, which is of grey marble, are fome imperfedt traces of figures inlaid in brafs : but not enough to fupport Mr. Morant’s* aflertion, that “ from the effigies on this monument it fhould feem he had two wives.” Within the arch were fome lines painted on the wall by way of epitaph, but they have been whited over, and are not preferved in any author. A print of this tomb from a drawing taken on the fpot 1775 by my late ingenious friend Mr. Tyfon makes PI. LIX. of this work. In a fouth window of the chantry chapel at the eaft end of this aifle are painted hawks, hawks’ bells, and efcallops, which laft are part of the Hawk- wood arms, as the firft were probably the creft as well as a rebus of the name ; and we find a hawk volant on Sir John’s feal. In the north and weft fide of the tower are two very neat hawks on perches in relief, in ron- deaux hallowed in the wall : that over the weft door is extremely well pre- ferved. They properly denote that fome of the family built the tower. Mr. Morant imagines fome of them rebuilt this church about the reign of Edward III. but none appear to have been in circumftances equal to fuch mu- nificence before our hero ; and perhaps his heirs were the rebuilders. Anne queen of Richard II. died 1394, but her effigy and epitaph being on her hufband’s tomb, we fliall treat of both together. 1 Obiit ille toto mundo miles notiflimus J.

This prelate was a great favorite of Richard II. who appointed him mafter of the rolls, keeper of the Privy Seal, and one of the fourteen commiffioners of the revenue, and 1391 lord high treafurer, in which office he died. Walfingham fays, he was buried here by the king’s exprefs order, though to the great offence of many '. He oppofed the archiepifcopal vifitation of his diocefe, under colour of papal exprefs exemption ; but archbifhop Courtney made him fubmit as he had done the bifhop of Exeter before him \ His epitaph remained imperfect in Godwin’s time, fetting forth this mark of royal favour in his interment 3 ; but neither he nor Weever 4 have given us the little that remained. The monument is now' too much worn to be rubbed off or drawn. Lady Mohun of Dunftar , who died after 1395, has a handfome monu- ment in the undercroft, on the fide of Lady Chapel, at Canterbury .

Thomas de la More abbot of St. Albans from 1350 to 1396, had, accord- ing to Weever 4 and Willis 7 , this epitaph in his abbey church : EJl abbas Thomas tumulo prefente reclufus gui vite tempus JanElos expendit in ufus. He had been prior of Tinmouth, and was a great benefa&or to St. Alban’s We fhall fee, in the following century, that the fine brafs now in the choir, with no other name than that of Thomas on it, does not belong to him, but to abbot Ramridge. 1396. William Courtney archbifhop of Canterbury, who died 1396, has in his cathedral, at the foot of the Black Prince, an altar- tomb adorned on each fide with nine arches, and over each fide two blank fhields. On it his figure pontifically habited, with his mitre and crofier, an animal at his feet, and two angels at his head. He was fourth fon of Hugh Courtney earl of Devon, and having been fuccefiively bifhop of Hereford and London, was advanced to the primacy on the murder of archbifhop Sudbury, 1381. He rebuilt the college for fecular priefts at Maidftone, together with the chancel, where his arms remain 8 ; and 1 Multis licet murmurantibus. Ypod. Ncullr. 3 P. j+8. Ed.

He had bequeathed his body to the cathedral of Exeter, whereof he had been prebend ; but on his death-bed de- claring himfelf unworthy to lie in his own or any other cathedral or collegiate church, directed by a codicil, that he fliould be depofited in the churchyard of his collegiate church of Maidftone, in the place pointed out 1 to John Boteler his efquire 3 . But Mr. Somner fays, it appeared by a leiger book of Canterbury, that the king being at Canterbury when he was to be buried overruled this his appointment, and ordered his body to be interred there. Weever 4 and Hol- land 5 give a long epitaph for him in brafs, with his effigy, on a large flab ftill remaining in the middle of the chancel at Maidftone, in which the word en is the only proof that his bequeft was fulfilled here. 1 rather think it alludes to his intention, without implying that it was fulfilled. It celebrates his comely per- fon, cor pore valde decens , and the figure in Dart’s Canterbury exprefles as much. By the fide of Richard the Second’s tomb, below in the aile, is an antient*3S)6" llab, which had formerly a brafs canopy, figure, and arms, and an infcription, purporting, that it belonged to Sir John Golofre, called Lord of Langley, natural fon of Sir John Golofre by Johannet Pulham, who died 1396. He was one of Richard the Second’s favourites, who fent him ambaffador to France 1389, to folicit aid againft the nobles, who had confpired againft him; but his letters were taken from him by William Beauchamp governor ot Calais 6 . No wonder he was included in the fentence pafled againft the king’s friends^ under which Simon Burleigh and others fuffered ; but Golofre efcaped by being out of the kingdom. As the king afterwards recovered his influence, he re- turned to England, and died in peace at Wallingford 1396. By his will, dated three days before his death, and proved before Richard bifliop of Salifbury Nov. 27, 1396, 20 Richard II. he directed that his body fliould be buried in the chancel of the Friars Minors at Oxford, near his father, if he died before his wife, and, on this condition, bequeathed to the faid Friars ^10. which they were not to receive if he was buried elfewhere. At the end of the will it is faid, “ that whereas he willed his body to be buried in the Grey Friars at Ox- ford, yet the king difpofed of it otherwife, ordering that it fliould be buried in the conventual church of Weftminfter.” Mr. Dart 7 has given the fubftance of this will from Anthony Wood’s papers, but contradicts himfelf in the date, making it Jan. 19, 1393, yet faying that the teftator died 1396, and dated it three days before his death. The fame confufion attends his marriage. Dart quotes Sandford, who fays no fuch thing 8 , for making him third husband of Philippa Fitzwalter and duchefs of York, and Dugdale for faying that he married her elder After Elizabeth widow of William Montacute earl of Salisbury, when it is plain from her will 9 that fhe died countefs of Salisbury. It is true Le Neve IO puts Sir John Golofre down for Philippa countefs of York’s third huf- band, and even queries if Ihe had not lord Vefey for her fourth ". Kemp ” fays Sir John Golofre was her fecond husband. In J. Crull’s Antiquities of Weft- niinfter abbey ' 3 , the coat Barry nebulee of 8 A and G on a bend S 3 bezants is given to Golofree. In Golofre’s will his wife is indeed named Philippa , but this will not prove who flie was, any more than who was Elizabeth Golafre another legatee, though Alice Golafre is fpecified as his After.

In St. Mary’s chapel, in the church of Mlon, c. Chefter, is a monument in memory of William Manwarino of Over Pever and of Badeley ill its neigh- bourhood. This knight, before his departure on an expedition to Guienne, in 1393, fettled his eftate, and next year made his will, by which he bequeaths his body to this church, and orders ipiSure, in alabafter, to cover his tomb. After his death, which happencdin 1399, a magnificent embattled tomb was eredted, adorned with cinders of leaves, and terminating in an afs’s head on a helmet, be- neath a Gothic arch. Under the arth lies his figure in full armour, with his hands joined ; his helmet pointed bound with a fillet, entwined with foliage, a gorget of mail and whilkers. Under his head a helmet, with an afs’s head for crelt ; a lion at his feet. Above, within the arch, on an embattled tablet, is a row of fix half-length prieds with books oppofite to each. The whole is painted. On the edge of the tomb was this inlcription, now much defaced by time: Hie jacet William Manmaring quondam dominus de Badeley e, qui oiiit die Veneris xx" ante fejlum Ventecojles A° D'ni m'ccc. mnagefmo nono , The pannel over the arch is divided into four compartments, having in each a lhield with two bars, which are are alfo above the battlements, and in three of five niches over the tomb under the arch. This monument is engraved in Mr. Pennant’s Journey from Chefter to Lon- don, p. 22. and from him I have deferibed it, with fome variation of ftyle ac- commodated to my defign. 1399. Richard Fitz Alan earl of Arundel, who was beheaded in Clieapfide on J ' St. MatthewVday, by order of Richard II. 1399, was buried in the church of the Auftin Friars at London. As the earl was one of the popular charaaers of the time, the common people accounted him a martyr to their caufe, and made pilgrimages to his tomb. The king therefore, after he had been buried ten days, fent dukes and earls at ten o’clock at night to take up his body, and fee if his head was fattened to it as reported ; and finding this a falfe report, he ordered the monks to take away the banners or images and other things fet up round the body, and level the grave ’. The circumftances of this nobleman’s execution are fuch as are recited of others in like fituations, that he fubmitted to his fentence with undaunted bravery, re- proaching the Earl Marlhal, his fon in law, and the earl of Kent, his fitter’s fon, for affifting at his death, trying the fliarpnefs of the ax, and defiring the executioner to do his duty at one flroke, without tormenting him. Froiffart fays, Thomas Mowbray, Earl Marlhal, who married his eldeft daughter Eli- zabeth, bound up his eyes, and cut off his head, and that the King himfelf was a fpectator on the occaiion 3 . In his will, dated March 4, 1392, 6 Richard II. printed by Mr. Nichols, in his colledtion of Royal and Noble Wills 4 , this unfortunate nobleman provides for his burial in the abbey of Lewes, in a fpot behind the high altar, which he had pointed out to the prior and his confeflbr, in which, if his wife was not already laid, ilie was to be brought j his berce was to be made as like to his father’s as poflible, and as much money to be fpent on his funeral as his executors faw to be moil to the honour of God and the advantage of him and his foul, not exceeding a thoufand marks in the whole expence.

The reft of this long teftament is taken Up in bequefts to religious houfes and his own family. A blank is left in archbilhop Arundel’s regifter for the probat, which it is more than probable never was granted, at leaft till the fucceeding reign, when his fon was re- lfored. If he had a monument in the Auftin Friars it was involved in the ruin of that fine church at the diffolution, and his body, with thofe of other nobles his contemporaries, may have giveti way to the cellars of private houfes. Of the fame date is the monument of Richard II. in the Confeflbr’s chapel. 13995 The tomb is of grey marble, exaftly like that of his grandfather Edward 111. PI. but on the South fide of Richard’s monument there are no traces of fhields. LXI. There are eight niches 1 with proje&ing canopies at the fides, divided by double LXII. pairs of fmall arches, and under the niches were fhields enamelled on copper in quatrefoils *. On the tomb is a table of copper formerly gilt, and enamelled with Reurs de lis, lions, eagles, and leopards, in lozenges, and on it, under a wooden, flat canopy the copper gilt figures of the king and his firft wife, Anne daughter of Wenceflaus king of Bohemia. The king’s figure is habited in a mantle like that of a religious, with a falling cape, his hair flowing, his beard parted into two drops, and his whifkers on. His countenance is rather that of a heavy debauchee than of a jolly handfome young man. The queen’s figure is double- chinned, habited in a furcoat and petticoat ; the former adorned with twelve buttons, the latter fattened by two jewels in form of rofes, one loft, bound by a flender girdle, fattened by a rich buckle in front. Her hair difhevelled. Her face beautiful. At the head of each figure is a heavy bronze pediment, called in the indenture Hovels, or Gabletz , with double jambs on each fide, meaning, I fuppofe, the bafes of the arch of each pediment. Tliefe pediments had once pillars charged with faints, as on Edward the Third’s tomb ; 1 2 faints, fuch as the king or his treafurer pointed out, and eight ahgeis round the tomb. Keep fays, in his time thefe ftatues were removed ; they were however here in Dart’s time, and are here at prefent. Sandford reprefents the king' holding the queen’s right hand in his, as ordered in the indenture for making the tomb : an attitude which, if it were not feen on other monuments, would be thought expreflive of the great affedtion the king bore to his confort. But the arms of both' figures are ftolen ; and' fo have been the two lions at his feet^ and the eagle and leopard at hers, and all the fhields next the area, which left holes through which might be feen the boards of the coffins, and fome bones. I have examined both the fculls pretty clofely ; but could find bn the king’s no marks of St. Piers’s poleax. Thefe holes have been flopped by order of the prefent dean. Dart and Sandford talk of open peafecods on the king’s robe ; but one would wonder what fuggefted this idea. The wooden canopy is painted in four compartments, on a golden ground. The firft and laft have two angels fupporting a fhield crowned. The fecond a figure fitting in a nimbus, the face fine and well preferved. The third a queen praying to a like figure, which points out its right hand as if bleffing her. The following rhyming infeription, in raifed letters, runs round the ledge of the brals table, beginning at the foot of the North fide. Within the firft letter is a feather with a fcroll, his father’s badge : 1 Called in the indenture of contrail for it meaftns or houfes : uvrere agreed for: fix on a fide. * Orbit in the indenture.

The paufe of the Leonine verfe is marked by flops, exprefled here by the perpendicular ftrokes. From the will of this unfortunate king (the firft who had the permifllon of parliament to make a will) it appears that he had ereCted this monument to himfelf and his beloved confort in his life-time. His directions about his funeral, the arraying of his body, and the proceflion, are no lefs curious. It was to be celebrated more regio , with four herfes in four feveral places ; two with five lights in the two principal churches to which his body might happen to be carried ; a third in St. Paul’s church ; and the fourth, in a ftyle of fuperior mag- nificence, full of lights, in the church of Weftminfter. The proceflion was to travel 14, 15, or 16, miles a day, as the ftations fuited, furrounded by t wen- four wax torches, day and night, to which an hundred more were to be added when it pafled through London. But if he chanced to die within 16, 15, 10, or 5, miles of his palace at Weftminfter, thefe herfes were to be fet out for four days together, in four principal intermediate places ; or if there were no places that anfwered this defeription, then in four other proper places, as his executors fhould determine ; and if he died in his palace .at Weftminfter, then one very folemn herfe for four days ; but on the laft day ftill more honourable exequies. If his corpfe Ihould happen to be loft at Tea, or by any other accident, which God forbid ! ab bominum afpeflibus rapiatur , or he fhould die in a part of the world whence it could not eafily be brought to England, the fame directions touching both the funeral and monument were neverthelefs to be obferved. His corpfe was to be arrayed in velvet or white fattin, more regio , with a gilt crown and feeptres, but without any ftones, except the precious ftone in the ring on his finger, more regio , of the value of twenty merks of Englifh money. Every Catholic king was to receive on the occafion a prefent of a gold cup of the value °f ^45* Englifh money; and his fucceflor, provided he fulfilled his will, was to have all the crowns, gold plate, furniture of his chapel, certain beds and * cafting the frondt to ground/.

Profufe in his gifts, extra- vagantly coftly in his entertainments and drefs, unfortunate and timid in his wars again ft his enemies, paffionate towards his domeftics, puffed up with pride, a Have to lull, devoted to luxury, and fo fond of late hours that he would fit up till midnight, and frequently till morning, drinking, and purfuing other indulgences not fit to be named So heavily did he opprefs his fubjetfts that hardly a year paffed without new taxes being laid by parliament; and all this, which was pretended to be employed againft his enemies, was wafted in extravagance. The only two traits in his charadter deferving of praife are his fondnefs and care for the church and clergy, particularly the black monks, and his liberal endowments of the church of Weftminfter for his anniver- fary.” This hiftorian has the appearance of impartiality ; yet Hearne, who pub- liihed him, prefuming that Richard’s mind was as accompliihed and his temper as fweet as his perfon, labours hard to vindicate him from the charge of tyranny and attachment to the natural enemies of his realm. That he was a weak unfteady extravagant prince, the fport of his favourites, and fo far an enemy to the true interefts of his kingdom, cannot be denied. His irrefolute conduct juft before his depofition proves this. Concerning the death of this unfortunate prince, Mr. King * remarks, it has been accurately enough obferved by Hume ' that the account of his having been Jiarvei to death is more confiftent with the public expofure of his body after his death, with the face uncovered 6 , in all the places and towns between Pontefrafl and London, where thofe that had the conveyance of it did flay all night ; for we do not find that any external marks of violence were perceived or vifible on that occafion. It was expofed, as Froiffart tells us ', in Cheapfide. “ IIow he died, and by what means,” fays that circumftantial author, “ I could “ n°t tell when I wrote this Chronicle ; but this king Richard dead, was laid in “ a htter, and fet in a chaire covered with baudkin, and four horfes, all black, “ in the chaire, and two men in black leading the chaire, and four knights, all “ in black, following. Then the chaire departed from the tower of Loiidon, “ and was brought along through London, fair and foftly, till they came into “ Cheapfide, where the chief affembly of London was, and there the chaire “ relied the fpace of two hours.

The copper gilded crown that had been placed on the head, and mentioned by Mr. King as remaining in the tomb, efcaped my notice at the time. Richard II. adopted his mother’s devife, the white hind under a tree, which is frequent in Weitminfter Hall, repaired in his reign, and is painted on a large fcale on the roof of Weftminfter abbey \ It is alfo fprinkled with broom- cods on his mantle in that fingular painting on two tablets at Wilton, wherein this king is reprelented kneeling by his three patron faints, the Baptift, king Edmund, and Edward the Confeffor, attended by angels, with collars of broom- cods, and wreaths of white rofes round their heads. Whether this picture is painted with any other materials than other miniature illuminations, or than the portrait of Richard II. before mentioned, cannot be difeovered while it is kept covered with a glafs, and deemed too great a curiofity to have experi- ments tried upon. Mr. Walpole is of opinion that the colours have kept their frefhnefs too well for oil colours, yet the infeription, which, if it means any- thing, might infiniiate that painting in oil was known before Van Eyck, who lived 1410, leaves a doubt whether John ab Eyck was feally the firft perfon who mixed his colours with oil. But are we confined to fuch chronological ftri&nefs that we cannot anticipate Eyck’s difeovery ten or fifteen years ; and fuppofe thefe portraits of Richard II. and that of Henry IV. at Hampton court, c. Hereford, to which Mr. Walpole allows authenticity, were the firft fruits of this difeovery in England, whether the difeoverer made it in England or not ? Oil, vernifii, and colours, are blended together in a record of 23 Henry III. 1239 3 . Eyck died 1441 ; but he would not have been too young to have made a new difeovery in his art before the death of Richard II. Or he may have availed himfelf of a difeovery made about that time in England , where are feveral monuments of his art enumerated by Mr. Walpole 4 . Maffei 5 thinks painting in oil was known in Italy before Eyck’s time. Does then the inferip- tion on the Wilton picture mean, that it was the firft fpecimen in Eyck’s art in England, 1410? y Mr. Rafpe has proved that oil painting was known long before its pretended dif- eovery by Van Eyck. 1 “ La canfe comment ce fut, nc par quelle incidence, point je ne la ravoie au jour que j’efcrivois ces Croniquei.

Mr. King (Archceol. VI. 315. n.) flatters himfelf with a fancied refemblance of the portrait of Richard II. in the drawing of him in Froifiait, in the Britifti Mufeum, when going to arreft the Duke of Gloucefter at Plelhy, to that formerly in Wcftminftcr-abbry, and now put out of fight into the Jerufalem chamber. But 1 am of opinion all this is ideal, a d more than we have a right to expeft from illuminations in MSS. not to mention, that even the portrait, where likenels might have been more attended to, has been more than once retoucht fince it was firft painted, though il ftill ictains fome rclemblance to the figure on the tomb. * bandford, 134. 2:8.

She was promifed and betrothed to Richard as one whom the king did particularly affefl, though the daughter of Bamako duke of Milan was alfo offered, with a far greater dower She was married and crowned at Weftminfter at Chriftmas 13S2, by William Courtney arch- bithop of Canterbury *, and having been his wife twelve years died iffuelefs at the kings manor of Shene, 1394, to the extreme grief of the king, who fo paflionately loved her, that he not only abandoned, but curft the place of her death, and, as fome fay, carried his grief to fuch an extravagant length, that lie caufed the palace to be pulled down. Froiffart >, fpeaking of her death, fays, “ Maladie prit a la royne Anne d’Angleterre, dont le roy et tout fon hoftel furent durement troublez : car la maladie alia ft avant, que ladite royne trepaffa de ce fiecle es feftes de Pente- coufle qu’on compta fan de grace mil trois cens quatrevingtsquatorze.

Ireland ' . ° Froillart, in his natural and pifturefque manner, relates, that Richard treated a year with the king of Bohemia * for his filler Anne. Sir Simon Burleigh had laboured hard to bring this match about ; and the duke deTaffon in Ger- many had been in England to fettle it. The king of the Romans at length fent off his filler, attended by the faid duke, and a train of knights and ladies, who were received with proper ftate at Bruffels by the duke and duchefs her uncle and aunt >. Here file was detained a full month, for fear of the Nor- mans, who fcoured the fea between Calais and Holland, commiflioned by the king of France to carry off the princefs, and prevent the alliance between England and Germany, and to retaliate for the prince of Wales formerly advifing the taking and confining the duchefs of Bourbon, mother to the queen of France, till fire was ranfomed. A fafe conduit being at laft obtained of the court of France, file proceeded with a guard of an hundred lances to Ghent, Bruges, and Gravelines, at all which places file was moll honourably received, and at the laft of them the earls of Salifbury and 4, with five hundretl lances, and as many archers, met her. They put to fea on Wednefday morn- ing, and landed the fame day at Dover. After flopping there two days to reft and refrefh herfelf, the proceeded to St. Thomas of Canterbury, and there met the earl of Buckingham, who received her in a fplendid manner. On his arrival at London ihe was received in a moft honourable manner by the citizens and ladies of the country and city, who were all affembled to meet her, and the king efpoufed her in the chapel of the palace at Weftminfter, on the 20th day of Chriftmas s , and celebrated his nuptials witli great fealling. From her departure from Germany till her marriage Robert de Namur, knight, was in her company ; for which the king of England, as well as the king of Germany, rewarded him handfomely. The king conduced his confort to Windfor, and there kept houfe in a magnificent and handfome manner. They lived in great joy together, and the princefs dowager careft her daughter the young queen ; the dutchefs of Bretagne, the kings aunt, was alfo there, the barons of England and the king’s council refuting to let her return to her husband, who had gone over to the French interefl, and had behaved ill to the duchefs and to the Englifh, by whofe affiftance he held his duchy s . Rapin, with his ufual phlegm, fays, “ the Princefs Anne of Luxemburg arriv- ing in England a little after the troubles were appeafed (he means Tyler’s and Straw’s infurredlion) was received with a great deal of pomp, agreeable to the king s humour, who was a great lover of thefe forts of folemnities 7 .

Notwithftanding t 170 ] Notwithftanding the jealoufies between England and France, which were more than once on the point of corning to an open rupture, and their fleet adtually failed to invade us, but was diiperfed by a ftorm, a truce was concluded for three years, and a treaty of peace fet on foot, to be negotiated by plenipoten- tiaries between Ardres and Guifnes, the fpot fo diftinguifhed two centuries after on a like occafion. Two years after the death of his beloved Anne, Richard con- cluded a fecond marriage with Ifabella daughter of Charles VI. king of France, who was fcarce feven years old. The two kings met between Ardres and Calais, a truce for twenty years was figned, and the nuptials folemnized. On this oc- cafion Richard fpent 300,000 marks in fhew, which exceeded the dower he received with his new queen. They had been before married by proxy at Paris. By this alliance the king thought to fecure himfelf againft the difeontented part of his fubjeefts, at whole head was his uncle the duke of Gloucefter. After the depofition and death of Richard, Charles fent to demand his daughter of Henry IV. who fent her back in an honourable manner, and fhe was married to Charles duke of Orleans, and died 1409. Her arms Az. 3 fleurs de lis O. impaled with Richard the Second’s were in the North window of St. Olave’s Jewry, and in other places, 1397 399. Richard the Second’s uncle John of Gaunt duke of Lancafter, who left the world jull: before him 1 , had a rich but heavy monument on the South fide of the high altar in Old St. Paul's , all the archwork ufually open being herein clofed up. On the front of the tomb feven pairs of arches. On the table his figure, in polifhed armour, his helmet round by Hollar’s draught 3 , his flioes plaited, a lion at his feet. The figure of his dutchefs, Blanche daughter and heir of Henry duke of Lancafter, who died 1369, dreft in a ftiff boddice like a furcoat, pet- ticoat, and ermine mantle. She wears the reticulated headdrefs, like the coun- tefs of Suffolk. Angels at their heads fupport one common cufhion. The upper part of the monument was defaced in the late facrilegious times, to make way for a gallery, and the whole deftroyed by the fire 1666.

In the South aile under a round arch in the South wall is a knight with cropt hair, his face old and wrinkled, no beard or whitkers, his head on an helmet, whofe creft is a bull’s head on a torfe ; againft the helmet a fhield with a faltire G. His gorget is mail, {landing up and {trapped round his neck ; his armour plated, fattened with bows on the flioulder and elbow plates ; his gauntlets half-handed, reaching over his fingers ; on each. third finger a ring, and alfo on the middle and firft finger of the right hand ; his fword gone, dagger remain- ing : a lion at his feet. His lady, hid under the round arch, has a. high coefi- feure, plaited in front, a plaited gorget up to her chin, her hands elevated rett- ing on a ftay, a ring on the third finger of the left hand, and a larger with a ftone on the fore-finger of the right, three cordons pendant ; angels hold a cufhion under her head ; her toes Hand up, and at her feet is a dog, and one up the fide of each foot. On the North fide of the tomb under eleven narrow arches with lhields are fix women in mitred falling headdreffes with their hands elevated, and five men in plaited armour. At the head four knights with dag- gers, one holds before him in his left hand a poleax. f 2. At the left hand of this is an alabafter knight in ftrait cropt hair; under his head an helmet, with the bull’s head for creft, his mail gorget juft appears, and round his neck a collar of W 5 -- His armour is plaited, his gauntlets half- handed, rings on his fingers, fword and dagger at his tides, defaced lion at feet. His lady has a noble flowing veil, parted gorget, and gown girt round the waift, double cordon and belt, mitten tleeves plain ; a long, ftrait-tailed, flap-eared dog at her feet, and one up the fide. At the tides of this tomb, under nine flowered arches with finials are five knights in plated armour, their hands elevated, and the figures of St. Laurence with his gridiron, St. John Evangelift with his cup, St. James with his purfe and efcallop, bible and ftaff. The fhields have been blazoned, but there remains only the femme fide of one, Lozenge, Az. or V. At the head St. John Baptift with the lamb, St. An- thony with book and ftaff pendant from his girdle, and a pig with a bell at his feet, and between thefe two faints two angeis hold a large tliield. On the South fide, under eight arches, are eight women, with their hands elevated, and on their heads a kind of bonet ornament. One of the coats on this fide is a faltire G. At the head of the laft tomb is that of judge Gafcoigne ; of which in its place. 3. Under the South arch of the choir is an alabafter knight, with whitkers, and in a pointed helmet adorned with a corolla and plain frontlet, plain gorget reaching to his chin, band of SS, round flioulder, elbow, and knee pieces, gauntlets, ftudded belt with blank tliield in centre, cuiffes and greaves ftudded up the outfide, on the hilt of his fword tljS, fpurs with many rays, lion at feet. His head refts on a helmet with the bull’s head for creft. On each fide of the tomb four niches between finials, and five fliields alternately. A thielcj Y y at [ 172 ] at the head feems to have been Ermine. His lady has the fnrbaft-arch head- drefs ftudded, the button on her breaft feems charged with feme letters, her gown plaited, her toes out again!! a dog. 4- Under the North aile a whifkered knight in pointed helmet, with a co- rolla and plain frontlet, gorget up, collar of SS intermixt with fome arbitrary ornament like a pomegranate, round Ihoulder, elbow, and knee pieces, belt ftudded, and in a rondeau in the centre a fpread eagle ; fword and dagger; lion at his feet ; the creft on the helmet under his head feems a horfe with a curled mane iffuing from a coronet. His lady has the fame headdrefs as the laft, a necklace with a heart in a fquare, ihort waift, and broad belt, plaited gown, loofe ileeves buttoned to the wrift ; rings on fecond, third, and fourth fingers of both hands : angels hold a double cufhion under her head ; two dogs with ftudded collars at her feet, her toes appearing at each fide : two angels kneel and hold a fiiield each, under five wide tabernacles, the centre one void : fomething like a chief on the femme on the North fide. 5 . In this aile, oppofite the veftry door, is the moil elegant monument of all in alabafter : A knight in flowing hair, ftiff gorget of corded mail, collar of SS and rofes over Ihoulders, undivided gauntlets to fingers ends : helmet under his head has the fame creft as the laft, loops to the flaps of the plated armour, and under it mail. Under one foie reclines on his right arm a hermit with a rofary in his left hand ; the tail of the lion at his feet turns againft the other tole, his fpur is a point in the greave. His lady is dreft in a veil, with a wimple up to her chin, her mantle gracefully faftened on her breaft by a lozenge : no rings, but a rofary from her arms, her round toes appear, and dogs hold up her robe at the Tides. The flab is embattled againft the edges, but not above them ; two angels hold a lhield at the feet, and are fided by St. Chriftopher and St. George, the latter’s fhield of the heater form has a notch in each fide. Two more angels hold a fhield in the centre of the South fide, fided by a bifhop with a crofier blefiing; St. Anthony with a book, rofary, and ftaff, and pig- a bifhop with a crofier bleffing ; St.John, with the palm, cup, and dragon; St. Laurence, with gridiron and book ; a crowned faint, with a ring and book probably Edward the ConfeiTor. At the head of the tomb are the fame angels,’ fided by a crowned faint, with arrows and book [St. Edmund], and an old faint with a book and . At the North fide fome angels and faint with fomething like loaves and a book ; two bifhops with a crofier and bleffing ■ a nun with her hands elevated ; a knight with his hands elevated, with his fword and dagger. In the South wall of the South chancel is a whifkered knight in a round helmet and mail coat, greaves and feet, tied at the wrifts with bows ; a fur- coat over his mail, a Angle fpur to his heels, a fword by his fide. At his feet a lion. He bears on his Afield Fretty a canton, the coat of Middleton, which name is written over him on the Eaft wall. f/t/iuu in noiaerneis. In the middle of the chancel is a well-preferved alabafter monument ; an embattled altar tomb, with a whifkered knight in pointed helmet with a wieath, gorget up, with mail apron to it : Ihoulder pieces fliaped like ears, el- bow pieces fem.circular, and pointed gauntlets, fword gone, dagger at right fide, helmet Without creft under hts head, adorned with a frontlet of fleurs de lis • knee piece of an irregular trefoil fhape, lion at feet. Six angels at each fide divided by pairs of niches in double ftories hold fhields, and one full winged at each end. f his is faid to belong to Sir Martin Deeasee. Id burgh. [ »73 ] Aldburgb. In the North aile, in a pew, a braft knight of full fize, in a pointed hel- met, mail gorget, plaited armour, in his hands a heart, on his Ihield a fefs ingrailed between three croffes botone. One of the family of Aldburgh, lords here, mentioned by Leland, It. vin. Ryiber church, in the Ainfty of York, contains in its South aile a feries of monuments which I cannot aflign to their particular owners, who all lived withm this century. 1 lhall defcribe them as I took them, Auguft, 1785. The firft in point of time is a crofs-legged knight, in a round helmet, with a rib down the front, mail gorget and fleeves, with wriftbands, mail gloves, greaves, and flroes, fword ftrait from middle of waift ; on his fhield three cref- cents, Ryther ; a lion at his feet. By his fide, on a diftimft llab (both flabs laid on brickwork) a lady in a cap, the cape of her gown up to her chin, and behind her head and falling at her ears, long ftrait buttoned fleeves, and others pen- dant, her mantle faced with fur : a dog at her feet. The knight may reprefent William de Rythre, the firft of the family men- tioned by Dugdale ', who accompanied Edward I. in his twenty-fifth year in his expedition into Gafcoigne, and the year following and three more into Scot- land, and was fummoned to parliament from 28 Edward I. to 1 Edward II. Whether the lady belonged to him may be doubted from the diftina flab At their head is an alabafter knight in plated armour, his hair ftrait in front, curled at fides nntten gauntlets, ftraps at elbows, gorget of mail, his collar aliened by a heart, to which hangs a lion or greyhound (not unlike the badge of a kings meffenger) fword and dagger, collared dog under right foot, and under left a bearded head openmouthed; under his head a helmet with a torce, the creft gone. His lady has the rich reticulated mitred headdrefs with a jewel in front, angels fupport her culhions, in her hands an heart • fhe wears long fleeves a plaited petticoat; the hem of her garment is ftudded: at her feet a flap eared dog with a ftudded collar. On the North front of the tomb in our pair of niches four knights in plaited armour, the fourth in a mantle holds in his left hand a Ihield, not unlike that of St. George before mentioned, his right hand lifted up, or on his fword. Four ladies with the mitred head- drefs, fillet in front, and veil behind, hold the fame fhields ; one has a book open over it; two have their right hands elevated and open ; the third holds “ t""?' h / n : J 3 At the Weft end are three fuch ladies; and at the Eaft three fuch knights.

On his fhield Barry of eight, a dragon gnawing its point (a circumftance not uncommon in Yorkfhire monu- ments), his belt ftudded with lions’ heads. On the front of the tomb are figures of an armed knight with fhield and fword, a nun kneeling, and holding up a fhield, a bifhop in front blefling, and holding a crofier, another nun holding a fhield, and another knight in front, with a fhield, lifting up his left hand. In the print of this monument in the Regiftrum Honoris de Rich- mond the fliields held by thefe four figures are charged with Barry of eight, and the tomb, formerly adorned with gilding and colours, is there given to Brian Fitz Alan. It flood, till the beginning of this century, in the South aile, but fince the time of taking that miferable drawing, has been removed to its prefent lite, and the woman, then at his fide, reprefenting his wife, to his head, as now. Her headdrefs is fquare, falling at her ears, and divided in front^ by a jewel ; her drapery falls in rich folds and in her hands, which drop down, fhe’holds a blank fcroll : at her feet a dog. In fix niches in front are a woman fitting, a man in the fame attitude holding up his right hand, a monk or nun, a woman or prieft holding a book. In the fifth groupe feems reprefented a figure from the clouds taking up a foul from the middle of a cumbent body and the fixth is vacant. Thefe monuments are fo disfigured with mofs and damps, as well as battered, that it is not eafy to dillinguifh fome of their fide ornaments. Mr. Gale refers this to Brian Fitz Alan, lafl heir male of that illuftrious family, grandfon of Brian I. He was with Edward I. in his Welfh expedition, a. r. 5. 1 was made one of the keepers of the realm of Scotland % and afterwards governor in chief thereof 3 . He had fummons to parliament 23 Edward I. and the fix following years, till his death.

Angels fupport a double culhion under her head : on her bread a fquare dud. The tomb is embattled, and has a ledge of quatrefoils and knobs. This is aferibed to Robert Marmion and Lora daughter of lord Fitzhugh, interred in Jorvaulx abbey. It appears by a record cited in Dugdale’s Baronage \ that Robert Marmion came to the poffeffion of this manor of Weft Tanfield, among others, by marriage with Avice daughter of Jernegan Fitz Hugh, whom he had licence to marry 1 6 John, and that their fon William married Lora daughter of Roefe de Dovor. This Avice does not however occur in the Fitz Hugh pedigree, in Dugdale’s Baronage \ It feems clear, notwithftanding, that Robert and Avice are the parties reprefented on this tomb, and it is probable he died fome time in the reign of Henry III. or Edward I. for his fon died after him, 1 6 Ed- ward I. I was told by the clerk who fhewed me this church [1785], that Robert’s bones were found half a yard under the pavement in the earth, and that his lady’s were feparated from them by a ftone fet on edge, but were not taken up. Under the North wall lies the freeftone figure of a crofslegged knight in mail, with the round flat helmet, fliield and fword, lion at feet. At his head is a freeflone figure, near eight feet long, of a lady, retting her head on two cuthions, a dog at her feet. Her mantle had letters on it in eight fquares : her headdrefs comes flanting over her left eye. Another female figure, feven feet long, with a lion at her feet. On the fide of the tomb a chevron, harry of 5, as before : Chequ6 ; the fecond of which befpeak her a Fitz Hugh, probably of that branch which owned this manor, not mentioned by Dugdale. Under a demiquatrefoil arch with a pediment and bouquet lies another free- ftone crofslegged knight, with a round helmet, mail gorget, fliield, and lword. His lady has the flowing headdrefs and wimple, a double cordon crofs her breaft, fattened on her fhoulders by lozenge ftuds, and falling thence loofe ; her tteeves long and buttoned to wrift. He is called here Grey, and lhe Maud ; but more probably he is John Marmion greatgrandfon of Robert beforementioned, who married Maud Furnival, and died 9 Edward III. She was probably a daughter, not mentioned by Dugdale 3 , of Thomas lord Furnivall, who died 6 Edward III. 4 Under his figure lies the body, in a leaden coffin, inclofed in one of wood : his hair appeared red, but the bones dropt down on opening the coffin, which lay clofe under the flab, and was full of a clammy moifture. Mr. Gray, the Redtor, faw it about five years ago. Againft a North pillar of a round arch of the chancel, G. 3 chevronels O. a chief Vaire O and Az. Fitz Hugh.

This noble church, now miferably neglefted and left a prey to damp and dirt, does not appear to have abounded with monuments, except of its own religious, which are fluttered on the floor, trodden out, or confnmed by damp and mofs, except two or three of the later abbots ; and of the arms with which its windows were enricht when Dr. Johnfon vifited them in the laft century fcarce twelve coats remain, or any fragments of the genealogy of Jeffe, that graced the great Euft window. Acajler MalbyJJe, On the South fide of the altar lies a figure of a crofs legged knight of foft white ftone, in a round helmet of mail, with a fillet and mail gorget : a heart in his hands; a dragon bites the point of his Ihield, on which is a chevron between three horfes’ heads with very long necks; his fword reaches acrofs from his middle ; his head refts on two culhions, and he has a lion at his feet. This is the monument of Walter Malbysse, before deferibed, p. 122; but I Choofe to repeat it here, having fince examined it on the fpot this laft fummer, and been further confirmed in fallacy of deferiptions, or reprefentations from others. 1 Dugd.

The figure on the right hand is dreft in mail, with a round mail helmet, with a fafcia and fattened at the ears with bowknots, a gorget of mail, the furcoat plaited, and girt in folds round the waift; the belt Falls from the hips, having- on the right fide a purfe or pouch, on the left a fvvbrd : the fliield on the left arm is flung by a ftrap over the breaft, and while a 'dragon bites the point, and a lion rampant fupports him, a dog running from the lion fmrfues a flag with retorted head into a thicket of oak leaves. So that one might almoft apply to thefe animals, with a fmall variation, the line of Virgil, Torva Icena lupurn fequitur , lupus ipfe capellam. The knight’s head is reclined to the right, and the face turned to the left. York. In Newt (Neat) gate lane ftands up in an old wall a crofslegged figure, in a round helmet, mail, cuftiion fupported by angels, fword at left fide, on Ihield a crofs patonce under a barrulet.

There are two other figures in York minfter not fo eafy to afcertain, and all engraved in Drake. The larger reprefenting an old man in curled hair and beard, flowing mantle, bread: bare, and on it a jewel like a crofs patonce, a lion at his feet, and the feet of another at the left fide of the cuftiion under his head, and probably there was another on the right fide, as the tails of both turn round the head of the cuftiion, is called by the vergers Sever us, brought from his burial place at Acombe hills, where, after all, he was not buried. Mr. Drake fays % “ he had read in a MS that bifliop Moreton gave it to the church as the image of Conjlantine the Great ; but where he got it is not taken notice of.” The form of the flioes is fingular. Mr. Drake adds, “ It has been painted, and certainly reprefents a Chrilfian, by the crofs on the breaft.” I add, it has all the marks of an antient fepulchral monument of the period we are now treating of. The other figure, nicknamed by the vergers “ the fon of the emperor Seve- “ rus >” is manifeftly of the prefent period, and reprefents a knight crofslegged with a round helmet, compleatly armed in mail, down the legs and round the knees plain bands. On his fliield and furcoat three fpread eagles on a bend. On the uppermoft of the two cuftiions are carved three ftiields, one with three dolphins embowed on a bend ; the other two a bend charged with three erodes botone. This method of ranging the arms is not common. The lion at his feet looks up to him to the left as that at the feet of the other image to the right. ’ Drake, 491. * P. 490. Pickering . Pickering.

On the floor of the chancel are two figures, much broken and defaced, of a knight crofslegged and bareheaded, in a long furcoat reaching to his m’idleg and his belt round and below his waift. On the fhield on his left arm Ermine a faltire ; a lion at his feet. His lady has the veil and wimple and a long ftrait- plaited gown and fhorl hanging fleeves. At her feet a dog. This belongs to one of the ScargilLs, formerly lords of Stapleton, in this parifh, by marriage with the heir of Stapleton. Thefe five laft monuments I defcribe from drawings made for me by the ingenious Mr. Jofeph Hargrave of Hull. Nottinghamshire. In the North wall of fuxford church is a very antient figure of a lady in a fquare headdrefs, ftrait furcot; and long fleeves : a hound at her feet. Oppoiite to her an altar tomb, with the trunk of a knight, having on his fhield a bend between crofles botone. Within the North porch, on a coffin-falhioned ftone, a half prieft, his head fhsven, and cufhion under it, hands elevated in a quatrefoil and rondeau, and under it a chalice and paten. Among the monuments of the Furnivalls lying in a mutilated and ne- glefted ftate at the upper end of the South aile of Rufford church, is a figure of a knight in a pointed helmet and frontlet, gorget of mail, on his furcoat a fefs between fix martlets, his belt is ftudded, under his head a double cufhion with angels. The flab oh which he lies is bordered with foliage. This, by the amis, belongs to one of the Furnivals, and having no lady ■with him, 1 fhould be tempted to afcribe it to Thomas Furnivall, fifth of the name recited by Dugdale ', who was buried under a tomb of alabafler above the choir here; the time of his death uncertain, but before or about 39 Ed- ward III.

The tradition of the town makes this Alan Flemyng founder of the church in which this is the oldeft monument remaining. There was a family of Flemings or Flamang , fettled at Claverburg, c.

This tomb flood by the others, but on removing it about ten years ago the body was difeovered embalmed in lead and thev opened the breaft, which was all I could learn from the fexton, who fhewed it me 1782. The MS before cited gives this account of it : “ In the middle of the choir a very antient monument, on which is a knight crois legged, in complete armour, his hands elevated : on his left arm a fhnild, with a crofs farcely : his fword hanging to his belt, which, as well as the fcabbard, is garnilhed with the fame crofles : under his feet a lion. On his right hand lies his wife, her hands elevated, with a border of rofes about her head, a talbot at her feet. On her right a ihield with a fefs and border : on her fide of the .monument are divers iluelds, one feems a griffin, with fem£ of crofs crofslets fitchb; on his fide a crofs farcely: at the head a crofs ingrailed. Some other ihields about it. At the end four old great high pillars with the ltatues of men and women much defaced and ruined.” Iam inclined to appropriate this monument to William de Willoughby, fifth in defeent in Sir William Dugdale’s account of this family '. He was figned with the crofs 54 Henry III. * and accompanied prince Edward into the Holy Land, and married Alice daughter and coheir of John Bec lord of Eresby, by which marriage he probably acquired property here. It does not appear when he died but probably before 33 Edward I. when his fon Robert appears to have had poneflion of his demefne lands here and elfewhere 3 . The laft monuments of this family here are thofe of Sir Richard Bertie and lady Catharine duchefs of Suffolk and baronefs of Willoughby and Erefby. He died i 5 8o. She 1512. This will be deferibed in the 16th Century. Another of the right honourable Sir Peregrine Bertie, lord Willughby of Willughby Beake, and Eresby, who died governor of Berwick, 1600 ; and his daughter lady Catharine Watfon, who died in child-bed 1610. * Bar.

This is vulgarly called Bolls, becaufe fuch a perfon was commemorated in the windows above belonging to St. John Baptift's Gild here. It more probably reprefents fome of the Ryes, lords here from the time of Henry III. to Edward III. perhaps Nicholas, who died 1292.' Surfleet. In the North fide of the chancel a {tone knight in a round helmet, his head turned to the left, fhield on left arm, fword down middle, dog at feet, animals at head, rofes on the border of the tomb, neat arch over his feet. This in the church notes in the Harleian Library is aferibed to Cressy of Crejy- hall, in this parifh, and faid then to have on his breaft a lion rampant queue fourche : A knight with fuch arms was in the window above.

In the North chapel at St. Mary’s church, Shrewjbury , under a high arch once open to the choir, on an altar tomb is a freeftone knight, crofs-legged, in mail, pointed helmet, Afield and fword in left hand, lion at feet, eight niches at the lides. On a tomb at the upper end of the South aile is another mutilated crofslegged figure of a knight. This was dug up in the ruins, and fixt here by order of the heralds who vifited this church 1623, fuppofing it to reprefent the founder, Roger de Montgomery, earl of Arundel and Shrewfbury, who died 1094. 4 Worcestershire. Of the reign of Richard II. according to Dr. Thomas, is the monument between the third and fourth pillars from the Weft tower on the North fide of the nave of Worcefter cathedral, which he afcribes to John Beauchamp fon of Sir John Beauchamp of Holt.

Under his head an helmet, on which is a fwan i fluing out of a crown ; at his feet a headlefs animal. His lady’s figure has a loofe mantle and difiievelled hair, the reticulated headdrefs, with a fillet of rofes, 1 Bridges, II. 141. ? lb. 347 - Ddd 4 Dugd. Bar. I. 28. [ 19 * ] and the back of the head plaited, her veil flowing back, a flowered furcoat, on the hips of the furcoat lozenges, ftudded apron, buttoned flender fleeves ; at her head a fwan, whofe headlefs neck riles up at the back of her head ; headlefs dog at her feet, which appear. The figures have been painted. This tomb is fo wretchedly engraved in Thomas, p. 93. that the knight looks like a martyr at the flake, and the lady like a fury with her hair about her ears. This Sir John Beauchamp was created by Richard II. a. r. ir. 1388. baron Beauchamp of Kidderminfter, and is laid to have been the firfl peer created by the king’s letters patent '. He diftinguilhing himfelf in the war in Scotland, was conftituted ajuftice of North Wales and fteward of the king’s houfehold. But he did not long enjoy his new honour, for the fame year he was attainted in parliament, with many others, and after confinement in Dover caftle, was beheaded on Tower- hill \ Having in his younger years received a largefs from the priory of Wor- cefter, he gratefully requited them, by protecting them, when he was high fleward, from the oppreflion of the king’s officers. Before his death he gave his money and plate to this houfe ; but the king’s ferjeant at arms demanded it, and it was conveyed to London. Mr. Habingdon had feen the inventory, and fays it was very moderate. His fon Sir John had his father’s arms painted in Worcefter church, and the monks being antient friends to his family received into their church the body of Sir John Beauchamp, over which they ereCted this mag- nificent monument ; and in him, 8 Henry V. expired the antient name of Beauchamp of Holt 3 . Beauchamp of Powick bears G. a fefs between 6 martlets O. Quaere therefore if this tomb does not belong to William fecond lord Beau- champ of Powick, who died 1475, and was buried in the Dominican Friers at Worcefter. His wife Margaret died 1477, and was buried by him 4 . The following extradt from Mr. Pugh’s MS. Collections for Herefordfliire feems to afcribe this tomb to Richard Lord Beauchamp, who built the caftle of Bromefhill in that county by licence from Henry VI. “ His daughter Mar- garet married William Reed, by which means the caftle came into the family of Reed, wherein it ftill continues. Mr. Richard Reed, who married Eleanor daughter and heirefs of John Reed of Mitton, near Tewkfbury, was born in this caftle, and in a letter of his to Mr. Dobyns of Hereford, fays, he had the lord Beauchamp’s chair till the remains of the caftle were burnt, and the chair in it in the late wars, and had then a bone of him, of which this ftory goes. The caftle was troubled , and Gabriel grandfather of Richard went to Mr. Allen of Gloucefter Hall, in Oxford, who was famous for his advice in thefe matters. Allen advifed him to get a bone of lord Beauchamp, and to carry it to Bromef- 4nll, which was done ; and the houfe afterwards was quiet.” “ This lord Beauchamp was buried in Worcefter cathedral, near the North door, under a large monument. There are now in the family of the Reeds two bones (one of which is one of the vertebrae of the neck or back) which the prefent Mr. Reed of Lugwarden fliewed Mr. George Clark preferved in a fmall box, on the top of which is written Lord Beauchamps bones ; though at that time, which was Auguft 26, 1738, he was ignorant of any reafon of preferving thefe bones, till Mr. Clark tranfmitted this account to Mr. Dobyns for his ufe.” 2 Wallingham, p. 365.

In C 193 ] In the North die at Worcelter cathedral lies on the ground, removed from the charnel-houfe, 1 636, a large ftone figure of a lady, having on her head a coronet under her chin a muffler or wimple, her right hand bare on her breaft, her left has on a glove and holds another, implying, according to Abingdon, that file was a maiden defigned for marriage In the Minfter-yard, Durham, is a gowned figure with one hand on its breaft, and in the other fomething like a glove but very much defaced. & ’ In the South tranfept, under an arch, is the figure of a knight Templar, in a helmet, furcoat, and coat of mail, and armed from the thighs downwards • a lion at his feet ; his Ihield on his left arm has G. 2 Bars O. Harcourt. His right hand on his fword. This is afcribed to Sir Simon Harcourt ’. In the North aile there, removed from the North aile of the choir is a fimilar figure, his Ihield blank, and his thighs and legs in mail, afcribed to Sir John Beauchamp, becaule his arms were in the window over it>. Againft the South wall of the choir is a knight templar crofs-legged in a round helmet and mail armour, drawing his fword with his right hand, a bare pointed Ihield on left arm, a lion at feet, two culhions under his head. This figure lies on a ftone coffin, repaired with brick, within which are feme coarfe fackina and bones. ° At his feet a figure in purbeck marble of a lady in a coif and wimple, right hand on breaft, m her left gloves, under her feet a bracket of leaves, rich leaf- age, on the under moulding of the tomb. In the South wall of the choir, under Prince Arthur’s monument, a white ftone figure of a lady m veil and wimple, elegantly dreft, holding beads in her right hand, a light flowing robe; no traces of arms on her ; her head refts on two culhions, two dogs at her feet. She lies on a hard fpeckled altar tomb, adorned with five apoftles in quatrefoils, fitting in chairs whofe elbows are heads : in the ipandrils above and below are angels. Thefe apoftles are, 1. St. Paul, drawing his fword acrofs his knee. 1. A faint with a crofs, his right hand on his breaft. 3. A faint holding a fword acrofs his knee, his left hand pointing to a wound in his breaft. 4 A faint holding a flaying knife in right hand, left pointing. 5. Saint holding a book on his lap, into which looks a bird, a bird on his right knee. Under a canopy in the pediment of which fit angels, is the figure of St. Wolftan bilhophere, habited in pmtificalibus, hands broke, what at feet uncer- tain : this altar tomb refembles the foregoing, having fix faints in quatrefoils, 1 .

In [ 194 ] In the Dean’s chapel on the South fide of the choir lies a lady on the floor on a culhion, her right hand down by her fide holding drapery, left on her breaft holding her cordon, a dog at her feet. This is commonly called an abbefs, but on what authority I know not, certainly not from the drefs. Herefordshire. Iii the North wall of the library at Hereford (formerly the Lady Chapel) among the prefies is a rich canopy of fix arches, in the two middlemoft of which are two figures fitting, one holding up its right hand with two fingers extended, and in the other hand a globe, reprefenting God the Father, the other the Virgin Mary lifting up both hands to him. On an altar tomb below lies a knight in pointed helmet, plated armour, mail gorget, his fringed iurcoat falls back below his belt, and difcovers a kind of apron with three fringes and a fcallop, his fword at his left fide, dagger hanging between his legs from his girdle ; at his feet lies a large greyhound, reaching up to his left knee : under his head two cufliions. Tradition afcribes this to Humphrey Bohun earl of Hereford, and this is Followed in Willis’s plan, and in the Antiquities of Hereford. Not one of the Boliuns were buried here if we believe Sir William Dugdale Above this monument is another with a plain pointed arch, with young heads in their own hair, and veiled at each end of it. Under it, on an altar tomb, with a moulding of rofes and heads, lies a lady in a veil, and wimple covering her mouth, her mantle flowered and clofe, letting through her long clofe fleeves ; at her feet a hound, at her head an embattled canopy. On the wall within the arch is painted the Virgin Mary fitting crowned with a nimbus. A lady habit- ed in a mantle and wimple, kneeling on an embroidered culhion, offers a church formed en croix , with a central fpire, and behind her kneel eleven or twelve religious chanting a gorge deployee after the foremolf, who holds up a book with mufical notes, and faifcC pAttHS* Fleurs de lis are painted about within and without the arch, and on the fpandrils a bend cottifed, the lioncels rampant, Bohun , effaced, and Erm. a bend indented, G. The fame authorities beforementioned make this the monument of a Countefs of Hereford, wife to the earl abovementioned. Weft of this, under a plainer arch, with a large old head in the point, lies a religious in a fquare cap, called in the plan an unknown Bean. In the South aile, under an arch adorned with flowers, and in the fpandrils foliage, is a bilhop with his face hewn off. This in Willis’s plan is given to bilhop Walter, but there was none of that name here. He has the pontificals and maniple, and a lion at his feet. Q. John Trevenant in the South Tranfept, 1404.

But as this account does not fuit any earl of Hereford that we know, nnlefs we fuppofe it to have been removed hither at the diffolution from the ad- joining monaftery of Lanthoni, where fo many of that noble family were buried, and this, from the form and fiyle of the arch and its niches, does not feem likely ; I fhall content myfelf with giving a view and defeription of it, as if belonging to this century, and leave it to others to afeertain. The man is in plated armour, mail gorget, collar of SS, very pointed helmet, fiioes of mail ; under his head a helmet and mantle, the creft gone ; at his feet a lion. His wife has flowing hair bound in front by a fillet, down her breaft falls a band like a ftriped ribband ; a collared dog at her feet lifts up her mantle. Tewk/bury .

On the orna- ments of the arch a fhield with a lion rampant, and oppolite to it another with a chevron. A MS plan, in my pofieffion, aferibes this alfo to one of the abbots. The fecond abbatial tomb above it from the Eaft has marks of a brafs crofs or vine branch iffuing from a lamb exaftly like that in the fourth plate of crofles fig. 10. There is fo much inaccuracy in all the printed accounts of the monuments in this fine church that I cannot help noting it, as far as concerns thofe on the South fide of the choir and its South aile.

Next to this is that infcribed Jobanes abbas bujus loci , defcribed p. 36. and engraved pi. IX. A MS plan in my poffeffion, made, as I take it, by Mr. Vertue, fays, “ this muft be John Cole , cliofen abbot 1329, there having been no John before him.” Under the tomb are feven ftarred quatrefoils. The letters of the infcription have been metal, and the ruft of them remains. Willis fays the infcription was in brafs, all torn off, except thefe words. The third is the tomb already defcribed, p. 46. on which there are not the leaft traces of an effigy. In the South wall of the South aile are a fingle tomb and arch ; then facing the lamb &c. the tomb and arch engraved plate IX. and clofe to it on the Welt another arch more ornamented and flowered with heads at the bafes of the arch and finials ; then a fourth, alfo of an abbot. At the upper end of the South aile, near the choir, Mr. Willis faw, 1714, an altar tomb under an arch, for Edmund Beaufort duke of Somerfet , who com- manded Henry the Sixth’s army at the battle here, and was beheaded two days after. Mr. Rudder repeats this account, adding, , and with him was buried Brilbwold bifliop of Win- chefter monk of this houfe. On the North fide of the chancel at Henkjlridge , in this county, under an ellip- tical archt canopy is an altar tomb of freeftone, with the figure of a knight in armour, and cropt hair ; and his lady.

The Weft end is open; The unufual form of this monument would incline riie tb fufpeft that it was the fhrine of St. Paulinus, erected by Gundulph 1 ; and then, by parity of rea- foning, that at Canterbury may have anfwered the fame ptirpofe. The pent- houfe rOof, fo uncommon in tombs, and fo univerfitl iii leifer ftlrines, is one of the ftrongeft arguments in my favour. It is true Gundulph depofited the reliques of this faint in a fnoft precious fhrine, but this does not preclude one of ftone. Whoever attends to the bitter animofities between bifhop Glanville and the monks here, which ended in his plundering them of their eftates and effedts (for which they in return refufed him the common exequies), after having melted the filver fhrine of St. Paulinus, to carry on the fuit againft the bilhop, will hardly fuppofe he was honoured with a common monument. Perhaps this ftone fhrine was fubftituted to the filver one, and then in the confufion too fre- quently incident to common tradition, by blending the ftories together what was intended for Paulinus may have been in procefs of time mifapplied to Glanville. Befides thefe, and thofe before defcribed, there is another monument of bifhops too much defaced to be made out with certainty ; but which clearly are of the period now under confideration. It is in the North aile of the choir, near the fteps leading to the undercroft. The arch over it is curious and uncommon ; light tracery under a pointed pediment. The figure is of purbeck marble, pontifically habited with the crofter, and the right hand bleffing. In the choir of Minjlre church,' Sbepey, is a very old graveftone, having only the name of Nortbwood left, pretending as great antiquity as thofe in the Temple. Next to it is Sir Roger de Northwold, in brafs, crofslegged, temp. Edward I. The original infcription is fucceeded by Hie jacet Rogerus Nortbwood , miles > et Boon uxor ejus fepulti ante conqueftum. In the church at A/Ij are monuments for Sir John de Gonshal and Alice his wife. He is in mail, with a round helmet, furcot, rich ornamented knee- pieces ; at feet a lion, whofe tail turns up to his right fide : under his head two cufhions, the flab on which the figure lies is placed in a frame of rofes. Below, * Godwin, p. 526. Ggg under [ 2°4 ] under a furbaft arch, is his lady in the veil, fillet, and wimple, her mantle ga- thered up under her right arm : at her feet a defaced animal. In the fame church, under a more ornamented canopy, much defaced, with groined arches in its roof terminating in heads, lies a knight in plated armour, rich round helmet clofed at the ears as Gonfal’s, and a wrought fillet in front, lions’ heads on ilioulder pieces, and down the right fide of furcot a kind of open work or oeillet holes ; rich flowered belt, and knee-pieces flowered atthefeams; lion at feet, and under head double cufhion opened at the fides as the furcot. This is afcribed to a Lancrock. In Ickbam church is the figure of one of the Baas, in a round helmet, An- gularly clofed at the ears, mail gorget and fkirt, plated armour, the fhoulder, elbow, and knee pieces richly carved in lions’ faces : double cufhion under head, and lion at feet ; the face of the tomb is adorned with demiquatrefoils and lozen- ges inclofing quatrefoils : the arch elliptic refts on flender pillars, and is neatly foliaged.

When I vifited this noble abbey, Oitober 1, 1778, in company with my late ingenious friend Mr. Tyfon, who inftrudted and aflifted me in the method of rolling off impreffions of the fine bralfes, and made the accurate drawing of the Earl of Kent’s fon, &c. hereafter to be engraved, I counted no lefs than twenty-two brafslefs ftones of religious in the nave, befides fourteen of men and women paired together, and three plates. Thofe in the nave were laid in two rows down the fides near the pillars on fome general paving of the church. Thofe in the tranfepts are more likely to retain their original fituation, which, I am forry to hear from Kent, the intelligent clerk, thofe in the choir have repeatedly changed, as well as their graves their owners. I obferved alfo one impreflion of a man and woman and two children above them ; thrc monks’ bulls with plate and fliieid ; a monk and four fymbols or rounds ; a man and woman praying to the five wounds ; and four crofles. Here are two mitred abbots, robbed of their bralfes and infcriptions, and every mark of diftindtion ; one of them broken in half : befides a third blue Hone, ten feet by five, totally defaced. Edmund duke of Somerfet grandfon of John of Gaunt, Henry Earl of Northumberland fon of Hotfpur, and John lord Clifford, all {lain in the fecond battle of St. Alban’s, were buried in the Lady Chapel. The arches, whofe canopy is chopt off on the South fide of the altar, may have belonged to one of thefe. Kent, the clerk, told me [1778] the bones of the fecond, reprefented as a very large man, were taken up as fuppofed under the altar. The reft probably had no epitaph, from the confufion of the times. The large thigh bone of Broadbank, one of Oliver Cromwell’s majors, {hot under the church- wall for defertion, as recorded in the regifter, is {hewn with the reputed fcull of an abbot in the locker. An altar tomb by the South door of the choir of this church at firft entering has a very thick fpotted flab, on which are cut five crofles, one in the centre, and one at each corner, alluding to the five wounds * ; of which a catholic vifitor told Kent, before he faw it, that it was an altar ftone, and if fo would have thofe crolfes fo difpofcd. Behind the altar lies a ftone coffin on whofe bottom is hollowed a crofs with two tranfverfes and holes to drain it. Its lid like another lying in the floor of the nave has a round ridge. Among uncertain monuments may be placed the memorial of the two her- mits by the South door of the cloifter over an arch and holy water ftoop. The latter was removed hither from the South Weft pillar of the choir when the gallery ftairs were built. Ut't SDomtnt fccrus facet Ijtc iptrcmtta Uognus €t fub co clams mentis Ijccnmta status.

Herts, under the Eaft arch is an alabafter tomb with an embattled moulding : the lides adorned with five blank fhields in double quatrefoils (of which there are two at the head) between two fmall niches in compartments. On the table lies an alabafter knight, in mail, pointed helmet, whiikers, gorget of mail* joints of the arms richly laced, helmet under his head furmounted by a half angel, lion at feet, and in his hands he holds a heart. At his right hand lies his lady in ftudded furcot and mantle, her lhape llender, her headdrefs broke, but a rich fafeia remains, her feet out of the mantle, and a dog at them. Tradition, now forgotten, aferibed this to one of the De la lee family, lords here from the feign of Edward I. to that of Richard II. Salmon 1 refers it to John the firft lord of the name, becaufe after they became polfeft of the ad- joining manor of Pelham, one, if not both, the fucceeding lords of the name were buried there; It feems to be for the firft John, if any conjecture may be grounded on the woman’s being on the right hand. This is fometimes feen, but not commonly. If may have been a cuftom perhaps when fhe was an heirefs, as in this cafe. This John de la Lee was flierif of the two epunties of Herts and Eflex thrice in the end of Edward the Firft’s reign, and died in the fourth of his fheriffalty, and twenty-fourth of that king. By the daughter and heirefs of Sir John Baard he had the manor of Albury, and the neighbouring one of Cole- hamfted.

In the South Weft corner of Royston church is an alabafter figure of a knight much battered : his hands joined, a lion on each fide of the cufhion under his head. This, which Chauncey 4 calls a monk, came from the priory, and is luppofed one of the founders. Tradition calls it an Escaler : Salmon Eustace de la Mere, or Ralph de Roucester. 1 Q ^ fewer. * Herts, p.284. 3 Salmon, 282, 283. Chauncey, 147. * P.92.

In an efcutcheon on the ftone-work under the bell loft window is feen a crofs patonce, which, by a monument in the fame church, made 1600, appears to be the arms of Gravele. Salmon faw this infcription, but left it as he found it. Chauncy makes no mention of this Robert de Gravely at Watton, and only an obiter mention of him, p. 39, as living 15 Edward I.

On the tSforth fide of the chancel at Little Mundane under a canopy and an arch of quatrefoils in lozenges, the keyftone formed by two angels holding blank fhields, their feet meeting in clouds, in the fpandrils blank Ihields, lies on an altar-tomb a knight in armour, his head on a helmet on a taffeled culhion, round his head a rich corolla, hair flowing like a diflievelled peruke, his belt lozenge, a lion at his feet. His lady has the mitred headdrefs richly adorned with cor- dons and pearls, two pearl necklaces, and one ol fquares, with a crofs appendant, a cordon and mantle ; her feet appear, and at them a dog; two angels on two culhions at her head. At the head of this is another altar tomb, under the bare arch : on it a knight in older ftiff armour, pointed helmet of mail, his arms broken off, his belt under it, the mail hanging down in efcallops ; at his feet a lion with an enormous tail eroding his back, and reaching up to a long fword at his left fide. His lady has a circular headdrefs, with a fillet of net-work behind, and a clofe cap, a mantle, a furcoat, and from it a narrow fliort plaited apron, from the fide of which her feet peep out, and under them two dogs crofs each other, retting their heads on each other’s haunches. At her head two culhions and two angels. At the North fide three Ihields hung as on the Fitz Walter tomb at Dunmow in quatrefoils, two plain, the third has a lion rampant debruiled by abend cottized: Tborn- bury. Between the two Weftern ones a woman under a niche ; a man at the North end of this fide in a plaited fhort robe. At the feet two plain Ihields, and between them in a nich a woman holding fomething in her hand. On the North fide three fimilar Ihields, one with the lion, one plain ; one hid by a pew, all parted by women. The firft of thefe monuments is uncommonly elegant, and well preferved for a country church ; and belongs either to the Greys ot Wilton, in the time of Edward III. or the Frevilles , in the time of Henry III* lords of this manor, which took the name of Freville from the latter. In a South window on a Ihield A. or O. feems the lion debruifed by the cottizes G. Another coat effaced feems to have the motto of the Garter.

Compare the defeription of thefe two monuments in Salmon, p. 222. and let the impartial reader judge between us. At the Eaft end of the North aile of King's Langley is an altar tomb, with a knight, much broken, in his hair, and in armour. On his flioulders, and on the tomb, on a crofs 5 mullets, with a crefcent for difference. On his culhion the large horn of a deer.

He lies on a tablet of the fhape of a modern coffin, raifed on a bafe of feveral modillions. The whole is of blue ftone fharply cut in a ftyle fuperior to the generaliity of thefe figures. I am not certain if there were not fome raifed letters on the ledge of the tomb. Sir H. Chauncy 4 calls this “ the effigies of a man cut in brafs , with his gaunt- lets by bis fide , crofslegged raifed about one foot from the ground, without in- fcription, but by the form of his lying crofslegged he was a foldier in the Holy- land, or fome perfon who had taken a vow to go thither.” In his time it lay in the South fide of the church : In Salmon’s, as now, in the North aile , or tranfept. This may be the monument of Godfrey de Beck, lord here at the Conqueft, or of Richard de Thany, lord keeper and lheriffof the county 44 Henry III. who died 55 Henry III. or his fon Richard, who died 24 Edward I.

A heavy iron fpear which flood by it within memory is now gone. This is afcribed to Sir Walter de Patteshull, who held this manor temp. Edward II.

In the North wall of the chancel at Stoneham AJpal, under a pointed furbaft arch, on an altar tomb of free-ftone lies the trunk of an armed knight in a helmet of mail, his face chopt away.

Mr. Breval 1 gives this infcription on a monument eredted to the memory of Lionel, duke of Clarence , fecond fon to Edward III. of whom before, p. 125, 126, in the nave of the church of St. Auftin’s monaftry, at Pavia, which Mr. Addifon overlooked : Leonello Clar entice Duci, Edwardi III.

He eredted other monuments in the adjoining cloifter for Francis prince of Lorrain, and for Richard de la Pole duke of Suffolk, who were killed on the French Ade in the battle of Pavia. Mr. Breval’s difficulty in reconciling this infcription with the account in Mon. Angl. of the removal of Lionel’s body to Clare in Suffolk, would have va- nifhed had he for a moment refledted that this was an honorary epitaph ; for had not his area, or tomb, been removed with his body, at the time men- tioned by Dugdale, it is here exprefsly faid to have been removed afterwards by a decree of the council of Trent. 1 Travels, I. 268.

Rendlejham , ai7 [ 1 Rendlejham. “ Howfoever there be no infcriptions here upon any of the graveftones in the “ church, yet queftionleffe in former times it hath beene beautified with the “ funerall monuments of many worthie perfonages. For here Redwald king “ of the Eaft Angles kept ufually his court, who was the firft of all his nation “ that was baptized and received Chriftianity ; but afterwards feduced by his “ wife he had in the felfe lame church (as faith Bede ') one altar for Chrift’s “ religion and another for facrifices unto devills. In this place alfo Swidelm a “ king of thefe Eaft Angles was likewife afterwards baptifed by Cedda bifhop “ of London \ Redwald having raigned king of the Eaft Angles one and thirty “ years, and monarch of the Englifhmen eight years, died in the year of our “ falvation 623, and (by fuppofition) he, as alfo Swidelme, lye buried at this “ place.” Thus Weever 3 . His authority, and the prevailing tradition of the place, that two kings were buried here, induced Mr. Henley the reftor to examine [1785] what appeared to have been the place of their interment The fpot was covered with two coarfe flat ftones, which being raifed, proved to be the flabs of two very fine figures of a knight and lady, formerly highly ornamented, but now miferably battered and defaced. The knight reduced to a trunk, retained the mail gorget, the furcoat, and belt. The cufhion under his head feems, as welt as his lur- coat, to have been painted with alternate lozenges of V. a crofs engrailed O and A. barry of 6 O and G. The lady had fuffered ftill more, but the ledge or table of the flab on which her figure lay, or it may be her mattrefs, was painted with the fame coats, Angle, and impaling each other. From the arms, which are Ufford and Valoines , 1 conceive this to be the monument of Robert de Ufford fecond of that name, which his father derived from the place of his refidence in this county. He was knighted 31 Edward I. and attended that king into Scotland the fame year. He married Cecily daughter and coheir of Robert de Valoines, and was fummoned to parliament from 2 to 5 Edward II. inclufive, and died 1 3 Edward II. when Robert his fon, afterwards created earl of Suffolk, had livery of his lands 4 . How he and his wife came to be buried in this church, whether from having property here, or for what other reafon I have not difcovered. His defcendants chofe Campfey abbey, which had been founded by fome of his wife’s relations, for the place of their interment; fee before, p. 143. But as Maud countefs of Ulfter, who took to her fecond hufband Ralph de Ufford, endowed a chantry which fhe founded at Campfey, with the manor of Aflie, near Rendlefham 5 , it is probable the Uffords had property in the latter place alfo. At a confiderable depth under thefe flabs was found fomething like the duft of a human body. In the North wall of the fame church is a beautiful monument of the fame age with the reft, having a rich flowered bouquet arch between two purfled finials, and under it a prieft with the tonfure and habit, two angels at his head, a lion at his feet. Tradition blundering about this, as about the foregoing, afcribes it to the “ bifhop who baptized the king,” meaning Cedda bifhop of London, whofe age it cannot pofiibly fuit. It rather belongs to fome recftor who perhaps was a benefadlor to the church and contemporary with Robert de Ufford, or to the chancel. 1 IT. 25. 1 * Camden Brit, in Suffolk. 3 Tan. Mon. p. 77. Bifliop Gibfon adds, that a crown of gold, fuppofed to be Redwald’s, weighing about 602. was dug up here, and fold to the melting pot. 4 Dugd. Bar. II. 47. 5 Mon. Ang. I. 490. Lethering - [ 218 ] Letheringham. In that fine feries of the Wingfields , which has fuffered fo much from “ the law’s delays,” that have dilapidated the chapel, as well as defaced the monu- ments, the oldeft are two correfponding and exactly fimilar in oppofite walls of the chancel. They are formed of rich arches and flender pillars, with arms on the mouldings, and the Wingfield wings carved in the fpandrils. Above the point is pannel work of a row of eight niches, and over them four large fhields in quatrefoils of 16 rays, over each fhield two lefier fimilar, and in the middle above the point of the arch a fhield under a helmet crefted by a bull, quaere for Bovi/le, who founded the priory here, and by marriage with whom the Wingfields acquired 'Letheringham. The arms on the arch of the monu- ment on the South fide are alternately Wingfield and Ermine. The bafe of the outer moulding refts on two lions feiant. On the tomb under it lies a knight, bareheaded, in ftrait cropt hair, in plated armour beautifully ribbed, each plate at the lower part buckled and ftrapt, and the flaps fafiened in like manner each with two ftraps and buckles : the knee and elbow pieces are handfomely adorned with a kind of efcallop ornament : the upper part of the fcabbard is all that remains of the fword, and the ftraps and buckles on the in- ftep of the fpurs. At his feet a lion, under his head a mantle reaching to his waift> The lady has the plain mitred headdrefs, or the veil in that form, and flowing behind, a wreathed necklace and cordon, a long furcoat and falling mantle with buttons at the fide. One of her feet is feen: dogs at them, and running up the fides : angels fupport the cufhion under her head. Againft the front of the tomb two beautiful figures of nuns, and a third defaced, all under rich traceried niches. The North monument exatftly refembles the pre- ceeding, except that the arms on the mouldings are alternately Wingfield and a chevron between three trefoils, Fitss Lewis, which fixes it to John Wingfield who married Elizabeth daughter of Sir John Fitz Lewis, knight> whofe arms were S. a chevron between three trefoils flipped, Arg. On this tomb lies a blue flab which once had a label and three fhields, and in the front were figures in niches. I find no arms like thofe on the other arches among the intermarriages of this illuftrious family that can aflift in afeertaining them. Nor are either of thefe monuments mentioned by Weever or Borret : but they record an inscrip- tion on a graveftone with a brafs knight in complete armour, and fhields at each corner, all broken except one, which was Wingfield impaling Hafiings. Die facet Jofjanncs ac CUtngficia, ntilcs. This is the fon of Thomas Wingfield by Margaret daughter of Boville, and hufband of Margaret daughter of Hafiings of Elfing, c. Norfolk. Her flab was contiguous, with her figure in brafs, and fhields at each corner, Wingfield impaling Hafiings : the infeription fo much defaced as barely to difeover who flie was. Another flab had the figure of a knight in armour with a fhield charged with the arms of Boville , with a lion paflant guardant in the firft quarter. All tha f remained of the infeription round the ledge, spounfieur (Kliaifam at jiSottll ac Ucatljerfngljam. Brundijh.

In an arch dividing the North aile from the tranfept at Trumpington , and forming a North chantry chapel, on an altar tomb, lies a large brafs effigy in complete mail, crofs-legged, with thefe arms on his ffiield, and four times on the fcabbard of his fword, and again repeated on the gonfannons behind his Ihoulders ; Crufuly of croflets 2 trumpets, with a label of 5 for difference, Trumpington ; and on the South fide the fame fhields twice : in memory of fome of the Trumpington family, but now ufurped by an infertion for William Pycher, 1614 3 His pointed helmet under his head is fattened by a chain to his furcoat, which is bound round his waift by a cord. A beaft like a greyhound at his feet bites the point of his fword. The Trumpingtons fucceeded the Caillys by marriage ih the reign of Edward I. Sir Giles de Trompington is recorded among the Cambridgefhire knights in the reign of Henry III. Robert held the manor of Trompington in Efiex, within that of Great Tay, 1285, 13 Edward I . Simon de Cailly held the manor of Trumpington 1 Edward I. and Sir Roger de Trumpington was one of his free tenants. John fon of Walter de Trumping- ton fon of Henry, called Le Loverd, or Lord, held the manor of Peverly here, and gave it in the fame reign to his fon William who married Sarah daughter of Simon de Caily and to his lifter Chriftiana, for want of heirs. This grant was witnefied by Sir Roger de Trumpington. Sir Walter and his wife Anne were buried in Babwell priory near Bury St. Edmund’s, Suffolk. Henry held a fee of Albemarle’s manor in Trumpington \ Sir Giles de Trumpington is recorded as one of the lords of the manor of Trumpington, in the “ Nomina villarum,” o Ed- ward II. In the reign of Edward III. Sir Hugh de Trumpington was one of the partizans of Mortimer earl of March, “ and being redy to refifte the takying “ of Mortimer, was flayne and braynid with a mace by one of Montacute’s . 355. cxlvii. 1. 20. r. p. 142.
