THIRD SERIES. VOL. VII.
THE ICONOCLASTIC VISITATION OF THE UNIVERSITY AND COUNTY OF CAMBRIDGE UNDER WILLIAM DOWSING, 164|.
Pabt I.
The journal of WiUiam Dowsing, so far as it relates to the county of Cambridge, is contained in vol. xzxviii of the Baker MSS. (£E. 471-473), deposited in the Cambridge University Library (Cat. v. p. 373). It is headed “ The Reformation or Profanation of Churches in Cambridgeshire. An. 1643.” No mention is made of the source from whence the MS. is derived, neither is there any allusion to the original document. The handwriting belongs to the closing days of the seventeenth century. There is a remarkable similarity through¬ out, between this record and the better known ‘ Dowsing’s Journal,’ that deals with the county of Suffolk. If we had no other evidence as to the authorship, the style and language common to both would be confirmatory. The heading is clearly the work of the transcriber of the Baker MS., for although the term “Reformation” was freely applied to the outrages committed by the Puritan faction — it was indeed denominated “ a blessed Reformation ” — the further term “ profanation ” g^ives expression to a strong feeling that the work of plunder, robbery, and violation was neither more nor less than a “ profanation.”
This Cambridgeshire account of Dowsing’s work has been almost entirely overlooked. There is a very general impression that “ the Journal of William Dowsing of Stratford, Parliamentary Visitor, appointed upon a Warrant from the Earl of Manc^hester for demolish¬ ing the superstitious pictures and ornaments of Churches, etc., within

the county of Suffolk in the years 1643-4,” is the only record we have of his acts. The allusions now so frequent to the doings of this notorious “spoiler of chuiches” are, we may say, well-nigh wholly confined to his work in Suffolk. Indeed, we have heard the greatest surprise expressed by many familiar with much that relates to East Anglia, that such a document as “ the Beformation or Profanation of Churches” exists, and that Suffolk is really not alone in having a Dowsing’s Journal. This is, doubtless, due in part to the absence of any prominent allusions to Dowsing by name in the Cambs. MS., and the want of a more striking and particular title. Partly it is to be attributed to the non-publication in a distinct, separate, and complete form, and the consequent inaccessible character of the work. Dr. Zachary Grey, to whom we owe so much, printed the document in his tract entitled Sehimaties delineated from Authentic Vouehere, 1739, which has become so scarce that we have only been able to see a single copy, that in St. John’s College Library, bearing the well-known autograph inscription of Thomas Baker. It appears as Appendix II., and is thus referred to on the title page, “ The journal of Will Dowsing, the famed Demolisher of Superstition in the Univereity Town and county of Cambridge in the year 1643, copied [likewise] from his original Manuscript. London: printed for J. Koberts in Warwick Lane, 1739.” The piece is headed “ William Dowsing’s Journal, 1643.” It is not even to be found in the University Library.
The MS. was utilized by Carter in his compilation designated A History of the County of Cambridge,. printed in 1753, where indeed the several extracts appearing under the different parishes, together with accounts of the Ministers sequestered under Manchester’s Warrant, form the principal feature of hie work. There is no indica¬ tion as to the source whence the information is derived, except that Upcott in the preface to a new edition of Carter’s book, dated October 1st, 1819, speaks of the “curious and valuable matter” contained in the “ particulars of the ravages committed in the churches by William Dowsing, employed by the Government in 1643 to destroy all the ancient monuments and memorials as ministering to superstition.” The several extracts are prefaced in each case by the words,
“ 1643 — Eefoemation.” Even Carter’s work is not widely known, while the Dowsing extracts, which are neither verbatim vel literatim, are not given in their entirety, certain parishes being altogether omitted. We think it not unlikely that Carter may have made use solely of Dr. Grey’s publication, without resorting to the Baker MS. at all, copying any error and disregarding any omission there found. Carter's history is known to abound with innumerable faults ; eveojp where the work is only that of the copyist it is frequently misleadiqg.,,' This is particularly the case with regard to the Dowsing extracts.- An instance of this may be seen in the fact that the Church of Willingham near Cambridge, duly noted by Carter as visited by Dowsing, was not even approached by that worthy. Carter simply transferred to Willingham the entry affecting another parish in the county (Wimple) which, in his topographical arrange-
irOTBS AND QT7X&IX8, XTO.

ment of parishes, happened to appear next in order. This is not the only case of a like kind. Unfortunately the error, being undiscovered until we recently pointed it out, has been transferred to an excellent little monograph on the interesting Church of Willingham. Not only is there an extraordinary scarcity of printed copies of Dowsing’s Reformation or Profanation of Churches, but neither print in existence accurately represents the original Baker MS. We are aware of only one other publication having made use of this document either in whole or in part. It is a work entitled The Ornaments of Churches Considered, with a particular view to the late decoration of the Parish Church of St. Margaret, Westminster. Oxford: Jackson, mdcclxi. [by Thomas Wilson, d.d.]. It contains only a few specimen extracts, twenty-seven from the county, and nine relating to the town ; the greatest possible liberty is taken with these entries. It appeared to us extremely desirable that no time should be lost in printing this Cambridgeshire portion of the journal, and we purpose giving for the first time an exact print of this Visitation Journal, noting the various discrepancies that occur among the incomplete printed texts. Apart from its value as a local publication the Journal ought to, and doubtless will, possess a special interest for ecclesiological students and others.
Nothing is known of the existence of an original document either in the case of the Suffolk or Cambridgeshire accounts. The Suffolk portion formed a part of the library of Samuel Dowsing, the youngest son of William Dowsing (bom 1633, died 1682), who in the will of his kinswoman, Mary Blomefield, is described as of Nayland, co. Suffolk, gent. The MS. was sold to a London bookseller, and the first printed edition, published in 1786, was taken from a transcript of the original MS. From a note appended to the transcript we learn that the original was in the handwriting of William Dowsing, “carefully and almost literally transcribed, September 5th, 1704.” There are indications of other MS. copies existing at an early subsequent date, in all probability taken from the transcript of 1704. A second edition was published by Loder of Woodbridge (who had issued the previous edition in 1786) in 1818. Messrs. Parker of Oxford reprinted the journal, first as a supplement to Wells’ Rich Man's Duty to contribute liberally to the building . ... of Churches, 1840, and afterwards in a separate form.
Some twelve years ago we prepared a paper on Dowsing’s Journal for the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology, chiefly with the object of giving a reprint of the journal, for which several members were in¬ quiring owing to a difficulty experienced in procuring copies. To use the words of the writer of the article, “ William Dowsing,” in the Dictionary * of National Biography" (vol. xv., p. 407) referring to our edition, which 21 was published in the proceedings of the Society (vol. vi., pp. 236-295) a and afterwards as a small quarto publicatiou, “We have, mainly for the first time, all that can be gathered of Dowsing’s personal history.” We endeavoured not only to bring together such material as might serve the purpose of throwing light upon the course of Dowsing’s action, but also sought to remove any doubt that might exist as to

precise personality of the man.* We did little more than refer to the “ Iconoclastic Visitation of the University and County of Cambridge,” which also was committed to Dowsing’s hands, and in the superintend¬ ence of which he exercised a strict personal oversight, even more so tlian in Suffolk, where it appears he made free use of deputies. While Dowsing’s Suffolk Journal has been handed down to us direct from his relatives, the Cambridgeshire portion seems likely to have come from the Archives of the Earl of Manchester through Dr. Williams, whose MSS. Baker incorporated among hie own collections. We have, e g., the details relating to the ejectments of the clergy from the books of the Committee for Plundered Ministers and from the Earl of Manchester’s original books included therein. Other like writings are preserved to us in this way. Enough for us to say that the only orig^inal transcript of either journal now preserved is the Cambridge document in the University Library.
The Visitation of the Chapels in the University, the particulars of which are somewhat better known than what relates to the county, was of a very similar character, and energetically carried out with a high hand and a determined will. For non-compliance with orders to repair the windows, &c., which the visitors, backed by armed soldiers, had broken down, a fee of 40«. was demanded of the several colleges. The Querela Cantahrigienaig of Dean Barwick describes Dowsing — in error called “John Dowsing” as the holder of a “pretended commission” going about the country “like a Bedlam,” shewing neither reverence or respect for person, place, or thing. The “Querela” abounds with painful instances of the abominable outrage wrought by the furious zeal of a bigoted fanatic, and in Masters’ History of the College of Corpus Christi, with continuations by Dr. J. Lamb (1831), there are some interesting facts relating to St. Benedict’s Church, the chapel attached to Corpus Christi College. The portion relating to the Colleges is printed, although inaccurately, in Carter’s other volume, the History of the University of Cambridge', it is also given in Cooper’s Annals of Cambridge, vol. iii., pp. 304-7.
Since the publication of our edition of Dowsing’s Journal relating to Suffolk we have been fortunate enough to discover hie will, dated 21st August, 1667, which is harmless and inoffensive enough. It is specially interesting as it shows Dowsing in the character of one who cherished the writings of the Puritan Divines, and there can be no doubt that Dowsing passed in his time for an eminently religious man ; that he was above all things practical goes without saying. In his private life he probably enjoyed and was worthy of the esteem of those from whom he did not happen to differ. Perhaps this is scant praise, but it is all that can in strict justice be surmised.
The will, “ clear, business-like, and well- written,” was proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Suffolk a.d 1668. “The signature,” Mr. Muskett says, “is clumsy, the seal common and uninteresting.”! Dowsing leaves his property in part to his son, Samuel, one of ten

children, who also is to receive his books, excepting only Caryl upon Job, an excellent work published in twelve large vols. (1648-1666). Dowsing owned property in Brandish, Wilby, Coddenham, and Stratford St. Mary, in the County of Suffolk, and in the last-named village his closing years were spent, but the family was of Laxfield, in the same county, where William Dowsing the Parliamentary Visitor was bom, about the year 1596, and where he was buried in 1679. There are several monu¬ mental inscriptions in and around Laxfield Church to different members of the Dowsing family. It is very certain that the sympathy of the family was entirely with the Parliamentarians, and on the list of those who subscribed to the Defence Fund is the name of Simon Dowsing of Laxfield, who lent ten pounds But it was not always so. Strangely enough William Dowsing was himself the son of a Catholic ze^ot, every whit as intolerant in the very opposite direction. Wolf ran Dowsing, the father, is mentioned in Foxe, Act» and Monument!, vol. viii., p. 424, Pratt’s ed., as an accredited “faithful and Catholic Christian,” though undoubtedly he proved with others “ a most cmel hinderer of the tme professors of Christ and His gospel.” Chiefly through the counsel of this man and other townfolk of Laxfield, the “devilish enterprise” for attaching the person of the martyr, John Noyes, was brought about.
{To be continued).
Tourmaments. — The Patent Rolls are full of entries of prohibitions of tournaments, and it would be very interesting to extract all the entries relating to those forbidden in the Eastern Counties.
In 13th Edward II. one was prohibited at Edgefield, and in 15th Edward III. one at Norwich.
Much earlier (Miohs. 6th Richard I.) Roger de Mortimer had to give pledges because he had tourneyed without a license. His pledges were well-known Norfolk men — Roger Bigod, Geoffrey de Say, and Wm. de Warren.
The Edgefield gathering may have been in the nature of a conspiracy, for Peter de Roscelin, then lord of the manor, three years after was in rebellion on the Barons’ side.

Holy Oak at Combs, amd Martyrs’ Stone at Harleston, SuiTOLK. — On the uplands, just S. of Combs Church and S.-W. of Combs Wood, there is a farm, called Holyoak Farm, where a family named Kemball lived in the eighteenth century. Near the house is a venerable oak, and the tradition is that in former times a Bible was chained to this tree, and that the people used to assemble there at night to hear it read. There is a small open space in the parish of Harleston called ‘ Rush Green.’ The road from Haughley to Harleston Hall passes through it, and near the roadway lies a block of stone which is said to mark the site of Marian burnings. This ‘ ‘ green ” is on high ground, and a wide stretch of country can be viewed from it. It

“Antioch” in Tilney. — This curious place-name occurs in Le Neve’s notes on the Plea Bolls, Hilary, 8th Richard I., in a suit between Thomas de Ingaldesthorpe against Godfrey Sheerwin, where¬ in the defendant admits the plaintiff’s right to two perches of land in length “in the New Field of Tilney, which is called Antioch, from the drain of Tilney to the drain of Tirington.”

PLACE NAMES OF EAST ANGLIA. Pari VII.
Norfolk. No. I.
The names of places in this extensive county show unmistakeable sig^ns of Scandinavian occupation. There are many tribal as well as individual settlements.
No trace of the British is apparent, unless it be the solitary Creake, as it is possible the suffix don, which occurs but sparingly, is a corruption of the more familiar ton, because hybrid words are rare and the Norse prefix points to this conclusion.
Since the compilation of Domesday Book the boundaries have un- doubtedl}' been altered, for many of the names therein recorded cannot be identified with existing sites, and must be looked for among the adjoining shires.
There are one hundred and fifty>four local names ending in ham, one hundred and fifty in ton, twenty -one in thorpe, nineteen in bp, twelve in wick or wtch, seventeen in ley, thirty-one in ford or worth, twenty-one in borough or burgh.
These last would appear to indicate an unsettled state of the country, for the Norsemen evidently established these fortresses to make themselves secure.
Some of the names at present defy definition, and the writer will be glad to receive any suggestions concerning them.

QUERIES.
‘ WiONER,’ AN Official Designation. — Can any one interpret or throw light upon the word “Wigner” as it is used in the North Walsham district to designate a collector of manorial quit-rents? The terminal, ner, may have come simply as giving an official title from the wie : hence we get wiegreve, wigreve, wigner = wyegerefa. Is it possible that this official was concerned with the highways or woods ? I can find no mention of this word even in so recent and

complete a work as Mr. Kye’s invaluable Glosmry of East Anglian Words (e.d.s.) founded on Forby. Is the word peculiar to East Anglia?
E. E. A.
Jacobites’ Wood, Botesdale. — This name is given to a long strip of plantation, S.-E. of Botesdale Street, and N. of Botesdale Green and Botesdale Lodge. Is anything known of the origin of the name? A list of those who were fined for supporting the Jacobite designs of 1715 and 1745 shows that the Chevalier had many friends in East Anglia.*

Preston Family of Norfolk. — I shall be glad of any particulars relating to the family of Preston of Norwich and Yarmouth. Thomas Preston of Norwich, surgeon, was buried at St. Peter’s Mancroft, a.d. 1665, John, his son, also a surgeon, Yarmouth, 1698 {Earl. MSS. 6762).
E. P.
East Anglia and the Barons’ War. — Where can I find a complete list of the nobility and gentry of East Anglia who ranged themselves on the respective sides of King and Barons in the course of the hostQities of the thirteenth century? Some account of the part actually taken by the foremost amongst them would be very acceptable.
D. M. E.
Eoyalists in Norfolk and Suffolk. — May I ask some reader of the East Anglian to be good enough to furnish a list of such families in Norfolk and Suffolk who sided with the King at the time of the Eebellion ? Also any who were loyal to the later Stuarts, James III. and Charles III., especially in connection with the risings of 1715 and 1745.

REPLY.
The Boy Bishop in East Anglia (vol. i., N.S., pp. 169-172). — It is interesting to note that the statutes of King’s College, Cambridge (which, by the way, is dedicated to St. Mary and St. Xicholas), promulgated in the reign of Henry VI., and accepted 20th July, 1446, sanction the election by the choristers of a Boy Bishop, who might on the Feast of St. Nicholas perform the divine offices, the secret mass only excepted. He was, however, prohibited from doing so on the Holy Innocents’ Day. In this respect the custom seems to be peculiar.
• In the twenty-ninth chapter of Wavtrley, Fergus Mac-Iror tells Edward Waverley that “ there will speedily be unexpected guests on the coast of Suffolk, or my news from France has deceived me.”

NOTES AND QUEBIES, ETC.

A PORTEAITURE OF WILLIAM DOW8INO, THE PARLIAMENTARY VISITOR, 164J.
A book, formerly belonging to William Dowsing, has lately come into my hands, and it seems to me that while his Iconoclastic Visita¬ tion of Cambridgeshire is being brought under the notice of readers of the Hast Anglian, they may be glad to receive just that amount of side-light which a man’s books, especially when annotated, can hardly fail to shed upon his character.
The book is Francis Quarles’ Divine Fancies : digested into Epigrammes, Meditations and Observations, printed in London by M.F. for John Marriot, 1632. It is a quarto, consisting of twenty-four preliminary unnumbered and 206 numbered pages
Like most of Quarles’ works, in their original editions, the book is scarce,* and it certainly derives a considerable accession of interest from its antecedents. It is still bound in the original rough brown calf, soiled and tom ; but the very same old coat which, when fresh and clean, graced the shelves of the sturdy Puritan, who purchased it little more than ten years after its publication, and within a year before the death of its loyal and ill-fated author. Francis Quarles, like William Dowsing, was an East Anglian, bora in 1 592 at Stewards, near Romford, Essex ; died September 8th, 1 644 ; buried at St. Olave’s, Silver Street.
Dowsing appears to have been a very methodical person and a steady reader, for he tells us when he purchased this book, the price he paid for it, and when he began and finished reading it. As bearing on his iconoclastic tours in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, this is interesting, for by the evidence of his journal he began his ‘godly reformation’ at St. Peter’s, Sudbury, on January 9th, 1643 (in our reckoning 1644, of course), and ended it at Parham, Hatcheston, the following 1st October. He had been reading Quarles’ Divine Fancies the previous Christmas week, and not improbably one of the fiery sermons of his neighbour, Matthew Newcomen of Dedham, preached before the House of Commons, Nov. 5th, 1642, but not printed till the following year, had been under his recent perusal. “Next to this,” says Newcomen, “ as a second meanes for the suppressing of Popery, I would subjoyne the casting out from among us of all appearances of Popery ; everything that lookes like Rome, everything of which the Papists may say, this you borrowed from us.”
On the top of the title page of his book the owner has written in a very neat careful hand, almost in imitation of printing: — “Witt. Dowsing 1643 Deceb 19 pt 16'* ag*‘ prayers to 8“ & merits 14-15 conteners of serm. 11-12”; and further down on the inner marg^in, “ Balas Asse 47-48.”
One may conclude that in his view these were among the most

THE EAST ANGLIAN; OH,
noteworthy passages in the book. The references are to the pages. The first is to Quarles’ lines “ On Peter ” : —
“ When walking Peter was about to sinck Into the sea ; In what a case d’ye thinke H’ad bin ; if he had trusted his complaint To th’ intercession of some helpfull Saint f Beleeve it ; if Some’s doctrine had bin sound,
And soundly follow’d, Peter had bin drown’d.”
These verses are lined in the margin, and the reference added, “ Math. 14, 29, 30, 31. Prayer to St.”
On the subject of Merits Quarles writes: —
” Fie, Rome's abused : Can any be thought able r
To merit heaven by workes f ’Tis a meere fable If so ; stout Rome had never bin so faint To move her suit by a Collateral! Saint.’’
The lines on Church contemners he has marked and noted ” Sermon ” : —
” Those Church contemners, that can easily waigh The profit of a Sermon with a Play ;
Whose testy stomacks can digest, as well A profer’d Iniury, as a Sm«o»-beU ;
That say unwonted Pray’rs with the like wills,
As queazy Patients take their loathed Pills :
To what extremity would they be driven.
If God, in Judgement, shold but g;ive them Heaven.”
The twenty-two verses on Balaeim’s Ass are too long to quote. The last six are marked with special approval, “ Sure God wants Prophets ; when dull asses preach.”
Going through the book, one finds few pages without some mark or reference. In the case of nearly every quotation from the Bible, Dowsing has added the chapter and verse, sometimes to two or three Gospels, where the same fact is recorded by separate evangelists. He must have read with his Bible at his elbow.
Some of Quarles’ quaint conceits he seems neither to have admired nor endorsed, e.g., by the side of the reaUy poetical lines “ On the Infaucie of our Saviour,” p. 4 —
“ 0, who would thinke, so sweet a Babe as this.
Should ere be slaine by a false-hearted Kisse !
Had I a Rogge, if sure thy Body wore it.
Pardon sweet Babee; I think I should adore it.” his marginal notes are “ Luke 22, 48-47, Matth. 26, 48-49, holy Eagg.”
On the same page we have a specimen, as it seems, of his own verse composition, from which one may safely say that if he had confined his efforts to construction rather than destruction, he would have made no noise in the world. Quarles is writing “ On the Life and Death of Man,”
“The World’s a Theater :
The Earth, a Stage Plac’d in the midst ; etc.
Over this Dowsing writes : —
“ Nothing of nothing had ye Great Creator how & wher with to make this heavenly Theater ye world’s a glasse of God’s temall («e) honour wher in is shewne to worship him the maner.”
NOTES AND OTTEBIES, ETC.
19
He appears to have been much exercised by Quarles’ couplet “On the Booke of Common Prayer ” : —
‘ ‘ The Booke of Common Pray'r excels the rest ;
For Pray'r* that are most Common are the best.”
Above this he has written : — “Ye Translation of most of ye Psalmes ar corrupted besids ye titles left out.”
In the margin he has written several references, some of which have been erased, but these are legible : — “ Fox’s Acts & mon. Edit. 1641, Vol. 2, p. 667, col. 2, in King Edward’s anew, to ye Kebells of Devonshire, & Edit. 1610, p. 1189-4, se Sr. Jo. Hayward of K. Edward 6, p. 140-141.” These passages relate to the first Prayer- book of Edward VI.
Charles’ first union with a Eoman Catholic princess does not appear to have shocked Dowsing as one might have supposed, at least his mark of approval is against Bk. iv. 7, “ On Mary ” : —
“ Four Marye't are eternized for their worth ;
Our Saviour found out three, our Chari* the fourth.”
And he also marks a few words in the Epistle Dedicatoni to the infant Prince Charles : — “ Let the Engliih Ruse and the French Lily fiourish in thy lovely Cheeke : And let their united Colours presage an ever¬ lasting League."
It is perhaps significant that Dowsing leaves some of Quarles’ satirical verses against the strict Puritans without any note or comment, such as 105 of Book iv., on Zelustus : —
“Not thy Geneva Ruffe, nor Steeple Hat With flagging Eaves, or Cepresse out of date ;
Thy nock-shorn Cloake, with a round narrow cape.
Thy Russet hose cross-gartered with a Tape.” &c.
At the foot of page 206, the last of the book, is the statement : — “I. E. this B. Decb. 23, 25, 1643. 2 Tim. 2-7, W. D.” [Consider
what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.]
Though the volume by this subscription seems to have been read in three days, the reader seems to have been a careful student. He has selected for his admiration, with considerable judgment, many of his author’s cleverest and most epigrammatic points, and one cannot help regretting that a man of such commendable learning, observation, and character, should have left behind him so odious and detestable a memory. His acts of iconoclasm were included within a veiy short space of his life. Let us hope that he had some qualms of compunc¬ tion, if not for his zeal, at least for its results ; and that his scripture meditations sometimes gave a personal point to Psalm Ixxiv. and Lamentations ii.

There is in the British Museum library a commission to the John Palmer here mentioned, constituting him, with Sir William Paston and others, a Commissioner of Gaol Delivery. How he suffered Paston to carry off the wreck of the Admiral of Sluyt from the North Beach ; how he was discommoned for this connivance, and how he tried to compound for it by hindering the Cinque Ports bailiffs at the Free Fair, may be read in C. J. Palmer’s Perluttration, ii. 76, &c.

The Holt Wells of Suffolk (2nd Series, vol. iv., pp. 319, 336, 352). — There are two within a few miles of Stowmarket, namely, at Woolpit and Badley. The following description of the former is taken from W. White’s Suffolk (Ed. 1844, p. 319) : —
“In a meadow near the church is a large moated area, having in its centre a fine spring, called Lady $ Well, said to possess medicinal virtues for the cure of sore eyes.’’ . . . . “ Tradition reports that there was in the church a shrine to the Virgin Mary, to which pilg^ms resorted, and that there was a chapel near the spring called Lady’s Well, which is quadrangular and bricked, and supplies the moat already noticed.”
The meadow is N.E. of the church, a road running between. The well, which with the moat is surrounded with trees, now bears an untidy and neglected appearance. At the N.E. and at the S.E. angle of the chancel of Woolpit church there is a large empty niche overlooking the road, and it is probable that, in pre-Reformation days, some holy figure stood in each of these niches to which passers by might pay their devotions. According to the old inhabitants of the parish, people, in former times, journeyed “hundreds of miles” to visit this well and to carry away some of the water, which is even now used in the neighbourhood by those suffering with eye-complaints.
Overshadowed by an ash, in a rushy meadow on the southern boundary of Badley parish, S.E. of Badley Green, and about half-a- mile S. of Badley Church and Hall, is a spring known as “ Lady Well.” It is one of the sources of a little stream called the Bat (hence Badley and Battistord) which winds through a stretch of fair g^een meadows to join the Gipping above Needham Market. The country people have some vague traditions that this well was formerly a place of veneration and resort.
Mr. Cobbold’s seat of Ilolywelh is one mile S. by E. of Ipswich.
There is an Index of Places prefixed to the first Suffolk Directory (W. White, A.D. 1844) which contains the following names: —
*Badwell Ash Holywell Row (hamlet of Mildenhall)
'Bardwell Kentwell Uall (old mansion at Long Melford)
•Brad well fOrwell Park (in Nacton parish)
*Brightwell Shadwell Lodge (in Rushford parish)
*Brome3well Sizewell (hamlet of Leiston)
•Elmswell Southwell Park (in Hargrave parish)
*Eriswell Standwell Lodge (in Thomdon parish)
•Herringswell ‘Wordwell
Any facts about the Holy Wells of Suffolk would be acceptable.
W. R. H.
• A parish.
t At an inquisition taken at Ipswich 6th June, 1340, the men who were examined said “ that the port aforesaid [the port of Erewell, now Orwell] takes its originall and name from a certain fountaine called Erewell, wri> is in the towne of Rattlesden” . . . “ and floweth by a river through the middeet of the Burrough aforesaid [Ipswich] to the Port aforesaid." — Bacon’s AnnalU of p. 86.
To the N. of Rattlesden church there is a meadow called Orwell Meadow, in which a spring rises.

INDEX TO THE CAMBRIDGESHIEE ENTRIES ON THE DE BANCO ROLLS OF EDWARD II.
This has been transcribed from IjO Neve’s index in the Literary Search Room at the P.R.O. It was compiled in 1673. As far as I have had occasion to use it, I have found the references to membranes quite correct. The occurrence of the name of another county after any reference, such as ‘ Leic.’ after the 2nd entry under Cotes, indicates that ‘ Leic.’ and not ‘ Cantebr.’ will be found written in the margin.

Some of the names in the above list are either badly spelt, or do not belong to this county at all. It appeared to me that this list would be most useful if printed in connection with the fines of the same reign. Le Neve’s indexes for the reigns of Edward IV. and Henry VII. will be printed with the fines of those reigns.

Stories, &c.. Historical, Legendary, and otherwise of Local Interest.
No. m.
Cecilia or Memoirs of an Heiress, by Frances Burney (afterwards Madame D’Arblay).
[First published in 1782. The authoress was bom at King’s L3mn in Norfolk, where she lived the first eight years of her life. (See Lord Macaulay’s Essay on “ Madame D’Arblay.”) Cecilia’s ancestors “ had been rich farmers in the county of Suffolk, though her father, in whom a spirit of elegance had supplanted the rapacity of wealth, had spent his time as a private country gentleman, satisfied, without increasing his store, to live upon what he inherited from the labours of his pre¬ decessors.” At the beginning of the first volume, the heroine (juits “the spot which contained the relics of all she had yet lived to lament,” and begins “her journey from Bury to London.” “ At the distance of seven miles from Bury resided Mr. Monckton, the richest and most powerful man in that neighbourhood, at whose house Cecilia and her guardian were invited to breakfast in their journey.” Mr. Monckton “ grieved at her leaving Suffolk, where he considered himself the first man, alike in parts and in consequence.” In the second volume, “ At Christmas, to the no little joy of the neighbourhood, she [Cecilia] took possession of her own house, which was situated about three miles from Bury.”]
Mistress Judith, a Cambridgeshire Story, by 0. C. Fraser-Tytler (now Mrs. Liddell), author of “ Jasmine Leigh,” etc. London : Samjison Low, Marston, Low and Searle. 1874.
[A very pretty old-fashioned tale of a Cambridgeshire village — “ Haslington,” which may perhaps be identified, for in the church there were monuments to “ Thom. Wortleius, priest, A.D. 1492” and “Dame Hariot Wymering.” It describes Uie annual village “Feast.” The book is out of print, and difficult to get.]
The Life and Adventures of Valentine Vox the Ventriloquist, by Hen. Cockton.
[The tale begins : “ In one of the most ancient and populous boroughs in the county of Suffolk, there resided a genius named Jonathan Vox” (the hero’s father).]
Arnold Inglehurst, The Preacher. A Story of the Fen Country, by Evelyn Everett-Oreen. London : John F. Shaw & Co.
[An impressive story of a religious character. The vicissitudes of life in the fen district are well brought out in the bursting of the great dykes.
WULFRIC, The Weapon-Tiiane, a Story of the Danish Conquest of East Anglia, by Charles W. Whistler. Illustrated. London : Blackie & Son, Ltd.
[An attractive tale of the Danish Conquest of East Anglia. It follows the scenes of the closing days of King Edmund who had (on the authority of St. Dunstan) the Weapon-thane as his armour bearer. The familiar legends of the Hoxne Oak, the Gold-bridge, etc., are skilfully worked into the story, which abounds with local references.]
Castle Meaduw : A Story of Norwich a Hundred Years Ago, by Emma Marshall. Tiondon : Seeley & Co., Limtd.
[This familiar locality brings before us the boyhood of two remarkable men, ‘old’ Crome, the painter, and Wm. Crotch, the musician. The only other Norwich personages mentioned in the tale, not wholly fictitious, are Dr. Rigby, Mr. Harvey of Catton, and Amelia Alderson. The observance of St. Valentine’s Eve, the attendance at a Cathedral Service, a walk through the Close, and other familiar surroundings, awaken reminiscences that live in the minds of many with something like the same pleasure that has inspired the writer. No one is better able to weave local events into narrative form than Mrs. Marshall.]

The Hovell Family (vol. vi. pp. 272, 304). — It may be of some service to Dean Hovell to record the following relating to Sir John White, probably son of Robert W. of Shotesham, Norfolk, whose ancestor, Bartholomew le Wite, possessed property at Stoke Neyland, Suffolk, in the early part of the reign of Ed. I. He was living at Tunstal, Suffolk, with Margaret, his first wife, in 1403. He then held the Manor of Oxford. Sir John White died May, 1407. Will dated at Norwich, 8th May, and proved there, 23rd May, 1407 (^Add. MSS. Br. Mus., 6076). Sir John’s second wife was Joan or Julian, daughter of Peter Hovell of Swannington, widow of John Butt of Norwich. By each wife he left a eon. The arms of Sir John White were — Gules, a chevron between three boars’ heads couped argent, a bordure of the second.

Among the Custodes Pacit appointed after the battle of Lewes appears the name of William de Bovill, acting for Suffolk.
It is as Mr. Pearson, the Editor of the Second Edition of Mr. Blaauw’s work says, quite possible that in many cases the Knight’s name may have come down to us connected with his least important holding. _ _

NOTES AND QXTEBIES, ETC. 65
SAMUEL TYMMS, F.8.A., &c.
Little more than a bare sketch of this zealous and indefatigable antiquary can be attempted, by reason of the broken character of the writer’s acquaintance with him.
Samuel, son of Thomas and Eliza Tymms {nie Stuart) was bom at Camberwell, in the county of Surrey, November 27th, 1808. What his school life was, how he came into Suffolk, and how he came to devote himself to archaeology, must remain matters of conjecture. Valuable memoranda of his early life, contained in an old parchment-covered family Bible, with clasps, in the custody of his son Edmund, were destroyed by fire at the African diamond fields. He is said to have been a sickly child and unable to attend school regularly.
When I made his acquaintance he was on the staff of the Bnry Post, an old-established and well-conducted Suffolk newspaper.
I well remember the day, just before my matriculation at the - University of Cambridge. I had collected more than a thousand inscriptions from church bells in England, chiefly from the Eastern Counties, and a friend of kindred spirit told me to be sure to get some talk with one Tymms, at Bury St. Edmund’s. I found him with a pot of paste and scissors at the office of the Po»t : but, busy as he was, he managed to screw out some time to listen to what I had to say. Those were the days of great archeeological activity, a revival after a period of torpor. The Camden Society was bringing out such work as Bishop Bale’s Kyng John as early as 1838, but it took some ten years to get the interest beyond a select few. Irreparable mischief in the destruction of documents and monuments, and the decay of churches, had been already done, but the timely movement had the effect of arresting the destroyer, and stimulating the antiquary to a dissemination of the results olf his researches. Mr. Tymms’ knowledge of court hand, his local information, his breadth of reading, and his clear judgment, were displayed in the production of the Bury WilU and Inventoriet, pub¬ lished by the Camden Society in 1850. The title would seem to the multitude unpromising, but the contents of the book were of a high value to those who desired to know something of the mediaeval life at first hand, to receive the rays of historic light direct, not refracted through a series of media of later prejudice. It would be ingratitude in me not to record the advantage which I once derived from the Bury Wills in an examination in Church History at Cambridge. I was asked what a Trental was, and being familiar with the will of John Baret of Bury St. Edmund’s, I was able to quote it at some length in my answer.
Time passed on, and Mr. Tymms became established as a book¬ seller and stationer at Lowestoft, in 1857. I absorbed my small quantum of mathematics at Cambridge and resumed school work at Sevenoaks, when I received a circular from my friend, urging the formation of a local Notes and Queries to be called the Bast

THE EAST ANGLIAN; OH,
Anglian. This was in the summer of 1858, and the idea was soon carried out successfully under his careful management. The late Charles Henrj' Cooper, Coroner and Town Clerk of Cambridge, his son Thompson Cooper, the late John L’Estrange,* author of the Church Bells of Norfolk, Walter Rye, whose books are or ought to be “ known or read ” of all men, J ustin Simpson of Stamford, B. H. Beedham of Kimbolton, and many others sent contributions.
When I returned to the Eastern Counties in 1 859, being appointed to the Mastership of Bungay Grammar School by Emmanuel College, I found myself again in contact with Mr. Tymms. Time was dealing gently with him, and his antiquarian fervour, so far from c<M)ling down, was at summer heat He was the life and soul of our arch eeologi cal excursions, held under the gi nial presidency of the late Lord Arthur Hervey, then Archdeacon of Sudbury, and after¬ wards Bishop of Bath and Wells.
While the East Anglian was still in its full swing I brought out my collection of inscriptions from the church bells of Cambridgeshire in it, and printed off one hundred copies before the type was dispersed. Afterwards I added an introducti*)n, and the whole was published by Mr. Tjanms, nho assisted me in every way to the utmost of his power; this was in 1889.
In the same year the Archaeological Institute visited Bury St. Edmund’s, on which occasion Mr. Tymms’ local knowledge proved of the highest value. Unfortunately his voice was unequal to the strain on it, and when he gave us one of his excellent discourses on the ancient church of St. James it was almost inaudible. Arclueologists are divided by the scientific into four classes: — (1) The Arclueologist proper ; (2) The //arlroologist, who comes to listen ; (3) The Larkceolo- gist, who comes for the fun of the thing; (I) The SZ/arlfeologist, who comes for the luncheon. Classes 3 and I were largely represented on this occasion, and their restlessness under instruction deprived the others of much useful information.
Mr. Tymms’s zeal in his favourite studies never flagged. He
