It, accordingly, became from the earliest periods, the residence of nobles, whose opulence and taste adorned it with mansions, adapted to their dignity and station. These, indeed, have long since so entirely disappeared as to leave nothing behind them but the name. But though no remains at present serve to point out to the eye of antiquarian curiosity, even the spot, which once boasted of these distinctions, yet the memory delights to cherish the idea of former ages, and the imagination, to call up anew a 3 the scenes which the hand of time has long since withdrawn. The reader, then, will not be left destitute of this pleasure, in the perusal of the fol- \ lowing sheets. But whatever chasms time may have left in the ancient history of Edmonton, they are amply compensated for, by the copious information, I have been able to adduce, respecting its modern state. This circumstance will stamp it with an importance, that cannot fail to render it interesting to every one, in whom this parish can excite any interest. Amongst the embellishments of the work, the Map of the Parish holds the first place, as it is a copy of the survey made in the years 1801 and 1802, and corrected by the original, which is deposited in the Register Office for Middlesex, in Bell Yard, Temple Bar. To the Rev. Dawson Warren, Vicar, I have to offer my warmest acknowledgments, for the plate, exhibiting the very beautiful view of the Church, before the original character of the architecture was defaced. The view of Wyer-hall is copied from an original drawing in the possession of Mr. Jones, who resided in that mansion for many years. Of the “ Merry Devil of Edmonton,” it may be sufficient to say, that it was once a work of such celebrity as not only to constitute the amusement of the times, but also to supply a subject for the drama, in the earlier periods of the English stage. It has been lately reprinted. The plays of “ The Merry Devil of Edmonton,” and “ The Witch of Edmonton,” are reprinted, the one in Miller’s edition of the Ancient Drama, 1810, and the other in the Dramatic Works of John Ford, by Weber, Edinburgh edition, 1811. As to the Charities belonging to the Parish, I have endeavoured to ascertain their exact situation, and to point them out by the number on the map, the more readily to direct the reader to them.

THE HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES OF EDMONTON. ITS ETYMOLOGY, EXTENT, BOUNDARIES, HAMLETS, AND COMMON FIELDS. JEdMONTON called in Doomsday Book J^delmton, but in later records Edelmeston and Edelmeton. Camden (J), says it takes its name from nobility, by which we may be led to suppose he meant to take its derivation from Edeling, noble or chief, and "iun or "ton, a (I) See Gough’s edition of Camden, vol. ii. p. 11.—William Camden was born in 1551, and educated in Christ’s Hospital, St. Paul’s School, and afterwards at Oxford. His first employment was that of second master of Westminster School, and in 1593 he was appointed head master, hut resigned that situation for a place much more suited to his genius and disposition, namely, that of Clarencieux, King at Arms. He was a great antiquary, and author of the Britannia, which took him many years in compiling; and of which two editions were published in his life time. It was republished with notes by the late Bishop Gibson; and lastly an edition was published by the late Mr. Richard Gough of Enfield, in 3 vols. folio. Camden died 9th Nov. 1623, in the seventy-fourth year of his age, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The world is much indebted to this great man as an historian, an antiquary, a scholar, and the friend of academic studies; his Britannia rendered his name famous throughout Europe, and his Greek Grammar has gone through a hundred editions. He B (own. In ancient records relating' to this place it is no where to be found Edelington, it may therefore be presumed to derive its name from Adelm, or Eadhelm, names familiar to eminent persons among- the Saxons(2). It is thought by some that from this place being surrounded by an ancient forest, and famous for the great quantity of elm trees with which the forest formerly abounded, that it took its name from elm, and hence called Elm-town, but for this I cannot find any autho- x'ity. It appears to have been first called Edmonton or Edmunton, (a word very dissimilar to the original orthography) about the beginning of the sixteenth century; and became a place of some consideration long before the Norman conquest. It gives name to the hundred in which it lies. Edmonton is along straggling village on the high road from London to Hertford and Ware, about seven miles north from Shoreditch Church, in latitude 51°. 371. 5211. north, (3) and longitude 0°. 31. 51n. west from Greenwich; and is bounded on the east by the river 7 Lea, on the north by Enfield, on the south by Tottenham, and on the west and north-west by East Barnet in Hertfordshire, and Fryan Barnet, Hadley, and South Mims in Middlesex. (*) Its ecclesiastical and founded a professorship of history at Oxford, for which he is reckoned among the first benefactors of that university. His Britannia was first published in octavo, 1586. (2) Adelm, was the first Bishop of Wells, and was afterwards translated to Canterbury, in 915. Eadhelm was Bishop of Selsey, in 970. (3) Edmonton church stands 51°. 37‘. 53“. N. and longitude 0°. 4*. 39 west from Greenwich. (4) Middlesex, so called from the Middle Saxons, who inhabited that part between the East Saxons, West Saxons, and South Saxons. The civil jurisdiction is situated in the Deanery(5) and Archdeanery of Middlesex, in the diocese of London. By ancient records, (6) Hadley and South Mims appear formerly to have been hamlets belonging to this parish ; and it is the opinion of some antiquaries that the Ermen or Ermine street, or Roman road (7), passed inhabitants of Middlesex were called Trinobantes, and their chief city (London) Trinobantium. Norden's Spec. Brit. p. 9. (5) The deanery of Middlesex does not now exist, but see Pope Nicholas’s Taxatio Ecclesiastica. (6) Lyson’s Environs, vol. ii. p. 250. (7) The Romans of all people took the most pains in their roads, the labour and expense which they were at to render them spacious, straight, and agreeable to the very extremeties of their empire, are incredible; they usually strengthened the ground by ramming it, laying it with flints, pebbles, or sand ; sometimes by a lining of masonry, rubbish, bricks, &c. bound together with mortar, in some places reaching ten or twelve feet deep, making a mass as hard and compact as marble itself, and which after resisting the injuries of time for sixteen hundred years, was scarcely penetrable by all the force of hammers, mattocks, &c. and yet the flints it consisted of were not bigger than eggs. Sometimes they paved their roads with large square stones: such were the Appian and Flaminian ways. The Roman ways were divided into consular, praetorian, military, and public. There are four of these in England; anciently called Chimini qua- tuor, and entitled to the privileges of pax regis. The first is Watling- street, or Watheling-street, leading from Dover to London, Dunstable, Towcester, Atherston, and the Severn, near the Wrekin in Shropshire, extending as far as Anglesea in Wales. The second, called Hckineld, or Ikeneld-street, reached from Southampton, over the river I sis at New bridge, thence by Camden and Litchfield, then passed the Dervent near Derby, so to Bol over-castle, and ended at Timnouth. The third, called Fosse-way, because in some places it was never perfected, but lies as a large ditch, led from Cornwall through Devonshire, by Tetbury near Stow in the wolds ; and beside Coventry to Leicester, Newark, and so to Lincoln. The fourth called Erming or Eminage-street, stretched from St. David’s in Wales to Southampton. See note 8. si 2 through this parish from London, (8) to Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire, by Waltham Cross. The parish is in circumference about twenty-one miles, and contains the following hamlets: viz. Edmonton Street and Village, Jeremy’s Green, Palmer’s Green, the Tile Kiln, Tanner’s End, Sadler’s Bridge, Church Street, Fore Street, Bury Street, Bourne, Winchmore Hill, Southgate, and Broomfield. (8) The great road from London to Hertford and Cambridge, which in its passage to this village separates the parishes of Newington and Hackney,and Finsbury and Tower divisions of Ossulton hundred, is delineated in the county maps as the ancient Ermen Street, which is “ corrupted from the Saxon name of a Roman road, that was accord- “ ing to Somner written Herman, Here in that language signifies an “ army, and Herman a soldier, which is no more than via militaris*.” It led from Newhaven, on the coast of Sussex, through Surrey to London, and thence passing under Cripplegatef through the counties of Middlesex, Hertford, Essex, Cambridge, Suffolk, and Norfolk, to Venta Icenorum, now Castor, a little to the south of Norwich. It is at this day believed to have quitted the great road on the east by Kingsland Green, a little to the north of the turnpike in the parish of Hackney, passed along that parish, then separated the parishes of Hornsey and Islington, on the north side of Newington Green, again of Hornsey and Islington, and again of Newington and Islington, and then of Newington and Hornsey, as far as the end of the hundred ; it then separated the parishes of Islington and Hornsey, and the hundreds of Edmonton and Ossulton, till it reached about as far as the Green Lane’s turnpike, when it entered the parish of Tottenham, passed through the Hamlets of Wood Green, and Bowe’s Farm, and thence into the parish of Edmonton to the entrance of Palmer’s Green, and between that hamlet and some land which is the property of S. P. Gudin, Esq. of Southgate, by a house, formerly in the possession of Mr. Justice Birch, into the road leading from Tanner’s-end Edmonton, to the north part of Southgate.

OF THE DIVISION OF THE PARISH. Its Division into Four Districts or AVards—its Contents in Acres. Edmonton is intersected by the channel of the New River, which enters the parish near Bush Hill; takes an irregular course through the Avestern side of it; and ultimately leaves it at Clay Hill, Avhere it enters Tottenham. Palmer’s Green the New River passes it seven times. See Bibl. Topog. Brit. vol. 2, No. 14. By this road in the year 895, the Londoners marched on with Alfred at their head to a strong fortification that the Danes had built at Hertford. The fens and lands having been drained toward the east to the river Lea, and the water confined, the new road was formed through Tottenham, Edmonton, and Enfield, leaving these villages considerably to the left. (9) Near Edmonton Church was a large field called the Hyde, which contained 290 acres, and is said to have been originally obtained of one of the Kings of England by a lady who begged of him a piece of land she could encompass with a bull’s hide; the king readily granted her request, when the lady, who was too cunning for the king, having ordered a bull’s hide to be dried and tanned, contrived to cut it into so many lengths, that they being joined together encompassed this field, from which circumstance it w'as called the Hyde Field. From a curious manuscript collection for a description of the Hundred of Edmonton in the possession of John Britton, Esq. F. S. A. It is divided into four wards or districts distinguished by the names of Church Street, Bury Street, Fore Street, and South Street. The parish of Edmonton was formerly computed to contain about 3660 acres of land, of which about 570 acres were arable, and inclosed, about 1540 acres of meadow, 430 of marsh land, and about 27 occupied by market gardeners; but having in the year 1777, one thousand two hundred and thirty one acres allotted to it under the provision of the act of parliament, for enclosing Enfield Chase, which acres are called the Chase Allotment, it may now be said to contain near 5000 acres, that may be considered very productive. OF THE SOIL AND AIR. The soil consists principally of a heavy stiff clay, but in some parts may be found brick earth ; in others, gravel in considerable cpiantities; and in some, moor earth. The water in this parish is generally good. The air of Edmonton is thought salubrious, and the ages, to which many of the inhabitants have attained, will sufficiently prove, that the parish, although there is a large quantity of marsh land, lying rather low towards the east, is not unhealthy. OF ENFIELD CIIASE ALLOTMENT. By a decree dated 23d Henry VIII. it was decreed, that the parish of Edmonton had a right of common upon Enfield Chase,(10) when a division of the Chase was made in 1777,(n) a tract of land containing-1231 A. 2 r. 6 p. was allotted to Edmonton, and which now forms part of the parish. (la) OF THE LAND TAX. In the year 1817, the sum assessed on the Hundred of Edmonton to the Land Tax was £4845. 12s. Id. which is at the rate of 2s. in the pound. The quota charged on this parish was £1401. 19s. 9d. of which £957. 4s. l|d. has been redeemed: the sum now raised amounts to £444. 15s. 7fd. only. OF BEGGARS’ BUSH FAIRS. When King James the First, laid part of Enfield Chase into Theobald’s Park, he inclosed a plot of ground, on which an ancient fair, known by the name (10) A copy of this decree is among the parish records. A right to turn in cattle into Enfield Great Park, that is, the Chase, is mentioned in an Extent of the Manor of Edmonton 56th Henry III. see Esch. No. 37. (11) By act of parliament intituled, “An Act for dividing the Chase of Enfield in the County of Middlesex, and for other purposes therein mentioned.” (12) This allotment was vested in the Church-wardens of the parish of Edmonton, for the time being; in trust for the Freeholders and Copyholders of the said parish having a right of common within Enfield Chase. See the Act. B 4 of Bush Fair, had been held from time immemorial: and as a compensation for having so done, he granted letters patent in 1G14, to Robert Kidderminster,(13) his heirs and assigns, empowering them to hold an annual fair on the festival of St. Giles, and the ensuing day, at a place near Cathol-gate; leading to Northaw Common, with the liberty to build two houses for the accomodation of persons resorting to the fair. Petitions having been presented from the neighbouring inhabitants and persons claiming right of common, against holding the fair at this place, King James granted the said Robert Kidderminster a new patent the next year, for holding two fairs(14) annually on a certain part of the Chase near Southgate within the parish of Edmonton. These fairs by the name of Beggars’ Bush Fairs, are still held, pursuant to this last patent on St. Giles’ and Ascension Days. This patent was purchased at a public auction, in the Year 1771,^by Mrs. Shuttleworth, who kept a fruit shop, opposite to the Mansion-house, London, and in June, 1789, it was again put up to sale by the Executors of the late Mr. William Groves, at Garraway’s Coffee-house, when it was purchased by Mr. Josiah Pike, of Nassau Street, Cavendish Square, whose property it now is. OF EDMONTON FAIR. In former times when the inhabitants of Edmonton, Southgate, Winclunore Hill, Enfield, and the adjacent (13) Pat: 11, James No. 3, p. 17. (11) Fat. 12, James p. 14, No. 13. towns and villages were accustomed to attend Northall and Waltham Abbey statute fairs, to hire their servants, (some inconveniences as well as abuses having- arisen) the high constable of the hundred was applied to, and requested to proclaim a fair at Edmonton, which he accordingly did in the three nearest market towns. The first fair was held in Edmonton, on the 14th of September, about the year 1680, under the gate-way of an inn then known by the sign of the George and Vulture, near the corner of the lane, now called Marsh Lane, and was kept at this place for the two or three succeeding years; when it was removed over the way to the sign of the Cross Keys, at which place it continued a short time; it was next held at the sign of the Five Bells and Three Black-birds, nearly opposite the church, (15) from which place it was taken to the King’s Head, at Winchmore Hill, afterwards to the Cock, at Bowes Farm, and about the year 1730, was removed from thence to the Bell Inn, at Edmonton, now known by the sign of the Angel, where it has continued ever since; and is held on the 14th, 15th, and 16th days of September, (16) annually. The original object of the fair having for some years become obsolete, it is now no more than a holiday fair,(17) and noisy nuisance; though it yields consi- drable profit to a few individuals in its immediate vicinity. (15) This house was pulled down about 30 years ago and the site has remained unoccupied ever since, it lias lately been taken or purchased by Mr. C. Tuck, of Tottenham. (16) Unless one of these days falls on Sunday, in that case the following day is claimed as a fair day and kept. (17) Lambert's London, vol. iv. p. 248. The first Institution of fairs or markets seems to have been for the better regulation of trade and commerce, and that merchants and traders might be furnished with such commodities as they wanted,at a particular mart, without trouble or loss of time, w’hich must necessarily attend travelling from place to place; and therefore as this is a matter of concern to the commonwealth, it has always been held that no fair or market can be held or claimed unless by the grant from the king,or by prescription, which supposes such a grant. (IS) It does not appear that there was ever any grant from the King, for holding this fair, therefore it seems now to be held by prescription, ultra memoriam hominis.(19) OF THE RIVER LEA.

Y. “ That in all commissions touching- the Water of Lea, the Mayor of London shall be one.” A verdict ■was g-iven in the 22nd Edw. IY. against the Abbot of Waltham, for obstructing the river called “The Water of Ley.” In the year 1571, 13th Queen Eliz. an act of parliament passed, directing a new cut to be made at the charge of the Mayor, Commonalty, and Citizens of London, by which the River Lea was to be made to convey all victuals, corn and other necessaries from the Town of Ware to the City of London, aud from London to Ware. By this means the conveyance of grain and other provisions out of Hertfordshire was greatly facilitated, and considerable expence of land carriage saved. In the year 1580, this river was navigable as far as Ware towards the north, by cleansing and removing impediments: But other obstacles to the further improvement of the navigation were made by the carriers and farmers inhabiting the parishes near and adjoining* “ Wlioose countries neere at hand, his force did still supply, “ And Denmarke to her draws the strength of Normandie, “ This Prince in many a fight their forces still dcfy’d “ The goodly River Lee he wisely did divide, “ By which the Danes had then their full fraught naives tew’d, “ The greatness of whose streame besieged Harford rew’d. “ This Alfred whose foresight had politiquely found “ Betwixt them and the Thames advantage of the ground, “ A puissant hand thereto laboriously did put, “ And into lesser streames that spacious river cut. “ Their ships thus set on shore (to frustrate their desire), “ Those Danish hulks became the food of English fire. Drayton's Poly-Olbion, anno 1622, p. 197 and 2OS. the banks of the river, conceiving- that their interests would be materially affected by the introduction of water carriage. In 1581, a commission of sewers was appointed, and the necessary enquiries made to discover and bring to punishment the persons who had been guilty of those illegal practices: the persons interested in the land carriage resorted to petitions and remonstrances, when a second commission of sewers was issued in July, 1589. The New Cut, after very considerable opposition and litigation, was about this period completely finished; and it was determined by the Star Chamber, and ordered—“ that the river should be and continue free for barges and boats, allowing a proper towing- path^21) on the banks and sides thereof.” (21) The commissioners under the act 40 Geo. III. for dividing and inclosing the common lands, common marshes, &C. in Edmonton, directed and awarded, that the several pieces or parcels of common marsh land lying dispersed in the common marshes of Edmonton, which at the time of making a certain navigable canal, commonly called the River Lea Navigation or Barge River, leading through Edmonton Marshes, which were taken for the purpose of making the said navigation, and are comprised in the said Barge River, and the banks and towing path thereof, and for which rent had been paid to the owners or occupiers respectively, should continue the property of the several persons who w'ere the owners and proprietors thereof, at the time the division of the residue of the said common marshes took place, and their respective heirs and assigns, or such other person or persons, as should be legally intitled to the same. And the river Lea company should for ever thereafter pay rent for the same, according to the value thereof, to the respective owners and proprietors of the said parcels of marsh land, comprised in the said barge river or navigable canal, and the banks and towing paths belonging to the same. See the Award of the Commissioners, dated 17th Sep. 1804, p. 195, kept in the vestry room of the parish. The course of the river on the eastern boundary of the parish is very irregular, and upwards of three miles and a half in its course; while that of the New Cut or Barge River is almost in a direct line, extending from north to south about two miles and a quarter. OF THE NEW RIVER. Sir Hugh Middleton (2a) by virtue of several acts of parliament passed in the reigns of Elizabeth and James the 1st, granting powers to cut and convey a river from any part of Middlesex or Hertfordshire, to (22) Sir Hugh Middleton, a public spirited gentleman, was a native of Denbigh, and a citizen of London, to which city he rendered the most important services, in supplying it with water, by uniting two streams in Hertfordshire and Middlesex, and conveying the same through various soils for a course of forty miles. This junction called the New River was began in 1608, and completed in 1613. The projector encountered great difficulties in his undertaking, but his persevering spirit and ingenuity overcame them all. King James, who had many shares in the concern, conferred on Middleton, first the lionoi of knighthood, and afterwards the title of baronet. He also incorporated the proprietors by the name of the New River Company. Sir Hugh Middleton, who greatly injured his circumstances by this scheme, gave one share to the Goldsmiths’ Company, for the benefit of poor members of their body, lie died about the year 1636. Biog. Brit. Sir Hugh Middleton was theson of Richard Middleton, Esq. Governor of Denbigh Castle, in the time of Edward IV. In early life he engaged in some mining speculations, which brought him a considerable income, and he ultimately settled in London as a goldsmith. Rees’ Netc Knc. vol. xxiil. p. 2. supply the city of London with a sufficient quantity of water for domestic uses, undertook, after several others had attempted it without success, to bring such a river from Chadwell and Amwell, near Ware, in Hertfordshire, to a basin or reservoir near Islington, on the north side of London, for that purpose. He began this work on the 20th February, 1608, and with great difficulty, art, industry, and (as it is record- corded) at the prodigious expense, of no less than £500,000. with the assistance of King James and the mayor and commonalty of London, he cut a trench, in some places full thirty feet deep, through ouzy, muddy, and stiff craggy and stony ground; and with so many windings, to find out a proper current, that it measured thirty-eight miles, three-quarters and six poles from the fountain to the reservoir at Islington. This great undertaking was finished, as far as to be brought to the intended reservoir, but the water was not let into it, till Michaelmas-day, 1613; when Sir Thomas Middleton, Lord Mayor elect, and brother to the projector of this scheme, accompanied by Sir John Swinnerton, Lord Mayor, many aldermen, the recorder, and other gentlemen, repaired to the cistern, now called the new river head, at Islington, in solemn cavalcade : on their arrival, a troop of sixty labourers and upwards, handsomely dressed, with green Monmouth caps, marched -with pickaxes, shovels and spades, thrice round the basin, preceded by drums and trumpets, they then stopped before the Mayor and others of the company who were seated upon an eminence, when one man on behalf of all the rest addressed them and delivered the following speech: “ Long- have we laboured, long- desired and prayed For this great work’s perfection; and by th’ aid Of heaven, and good men’s wishes, ’tis at length Happily conquered by cost, art, and strength. And after five years dear expence in days, Travail and pains, beside the infinite ways Of malice, envy, false suggestions, Able to daunt the spirits of mighty ones In wealth and courage; this, a work so rare Only by one man’s industry, cost and care, Is brought to blest effect, so much withstood ; His only aim, the city’s general good. And where, before many unjust complaints, Enviously seated, caused oft restraint, Stops, and great crosses, to our master’s charge, And the work’s hindrance; favour now at large Spreads itself open to him, and commends To admiration both his pains and ends: The king’s most gracious. Perfection draws Favour from princes, and from all applause. These worthy magistrates, to whose content, Next to the state, all this great care was bent, And for the public good, which grace requires, Your loves and furtherance chiefly he desires, To cherish these proceedings, which may give Courage to some that may hereafter live. To practice deeds of goodness, and of fame, And gladly light their actions by his name. Clerk of the works, teach me the book to show, How many arts from such a labour flow. First, here’s the overseer, this try’d man, An ancient soldier, and an artizan; / The clerk next him; mathematician ; \ The master of the timber work takes place Next after these ; the measurer, in like case, Bricklayer and engineer; and, after those The borer and the paviour. Then it shows The labourers next, keeper of Amwell’s head, The walkers last, for all their names are read. Yet these but parcels of six hundred more, That at one time have been employed before. Yet these in sight, and all the rest will say, That all the week they had their royal pay. Now, for the fruits then: flow forth precious spring •A So long and dearly sought for, and now bring- v Comfort to all that love thee, loudly sing ; \ And with thy crystal murmurs struck together, Bid all thy true well-wishers welcome hither.” At which words the flood gates and sluices were opened, and the stream ran plentifully into the reservoir, under the sound of drums and trumpets, the discharge of cannon, and the loud acclamations of the spectators. The New River in its winding course, passes through Ware, Amwell, Hoddesdon, and Cheshunt; and enters Middlesex near Bull’s Cross, Enfield; when bending its course towards the Chase, returns to Enfield town, and enters Edmonton parish, near Bush Hill. At Bush Hill the stream was originally carried across a valley in a wooden aqueduct or open trough,(2^) (S60 feet in length, supported by arches, but (23) In the year 1780, during the riots in London, the rioters threatened to destroy tliis aqueduct, hut on application to government, a c about the year 1785, the aqueduct was removed and a mound of earth raised, over which the river now passes in a new channel ; hence it proceeds (by various windings) through the parish, watering in its course, the pleasure grounds and pastures to Tottenham, Hornsey, and Islington. Middleton having by indefatigable application, brought the water very near Bush Hill, at the expense of almost his whole fortune, saw his work obstructed for some time, by many untoward circumstances. He applied to the citizens, but they would not assist him, he then addressed himself to King James, who willing to encourage and support so great and noble a work, by an indenture under the great seal, in 1612, covenanted to pay half the expense of the whole work past and to come: in consequence of which, he conveyed to the king- one moiety, and soon afterwards rendered to the Lord Treasurer an account of all his disbursements to that time; when pursuant to the agreement, Middleton received from the King, £6347. As. 11 \d. In the year 1619, the shares in this water being twenty-nine, they were incorporated by letters patent; and though King James was a proprietor of one-half of the whole work, Middleton precluded him from having any share in the management of the affairs of the company, and only allowed him a person to be present at the several meetings of the company, to prevent injustice being done to the king. party of cavalry was sent down to guard it, and they remained there some days. I The original value of the shares was £100. each ; Init so discouraging were the first prospects, that they fell to a very low price; though at the present time they are worth a hundred times their original value. An original share some years ago sold as high as £15000. As the New River must ever be considered a great ornament to the parish of Edmonton, particularly as its winding course renders the pleasure grounds, meadows, and pastures, through which it runs, truly picturesque; it is also of considerable use in supplying the cattle with water in dry seasons, and for various purposes of domestic accomodation. The quantity of land in the parish of Edmonton, taken up by the course of this river, amounts to about 18a. 3r. IGp. (21) OF THE ANCIENT FOREST OF MIDDLESEX. In the early period of our annals, the country north of London, was one immense forest, uncultivated and covered with wood.(35) This forest was first penetrated (24) See the award of (lie commissioners for inclosing and dividing the common and waste land, &c. p. 30 of the Schedule. (25) Britannia, p. 324, edit. Lond. 1590, 8vo. “ The fuce of this country made a very dilferent appearance when it was first invaded by the Romans, from what it doth at present. For though the position of its vales and mountains has always been the same, yet so many of them were covered with woods, that the whole island was said to have been ‘ horrida sylvis.’” (Leland's Hen. vi. 104.) “ One of the chief difficulties the Romans met with in pushing their conquests in this island, was that of making their way through c 2 in order to make the Via Originaria, or Watling Street, but becoming- neglected after the departure of the Romans, this tract of land soon reassumed its former appearance. In the reign of Edward the Confessor, the course of the royal way “ a limbo Ciltrire usque Londoniam fere” was one “ opaca nemora.” (26) This tract which afterwards obtained the name of “ The Forest of Middlesex,” was the harbour not only of thieves and robbers, outlaws and fugitives, but of wolves, wild boars, stags, and wild bulls. Matt. Paris Vitse Abbat. St. Albani in Leofstano says, “ Abundabat enim eo tempore per totam Ciltriam (27) nemora spatiosa, densa, et copiosa, inquibus habitabant diversae bestiae, lupi, apri, tauri sylvestres, et cervi abundantur. Necnon et qui plus nocuerunt, praedones, latrones, vispillones, exules et fugitivi.” Fitz Stephen in his Survey of London, between the years 1170 and 1182, describing the suburbs, says, “On the north are corn-fields, pastures, and delightful meadows, intermixed with pleasant streams, on which stand many a mill, whose clack is so grateful to the ear. Beyond them an immense forest extends itself, beautified with woods and groves, and full of lairs and coverts of beasts these woods, and guarding against the sallies of the Britons, from the forests. This obliged them to make cuts through the woods as they advanced, so broad, that they might be in no danger of a surprise ; and they afterwards cleared away much greater quantities for the sake of agriculture.

These wild bulls,(2S) were probably either buffaloes (29) or like the beasts of Andalusia in Spain, (30) which I presume are small.” The above extract may correct Mr. Hume’s statement, (31) that the industrious policy of Edgar produced such diligence in hunting wolves, that they were no more seen in England. These animals were in England for many hundred years after the reign of Edgar, (33) even so late as Henry VI. In the Forest of Middlesex, the citizens of London bad obtained the right of free chace, a right which was confirmed by several statutes. (33) In the reign of Henry II. (1154) the parish of Edmonton as well as the adjoining parishes, was for the most part a forest; (34) which was then so extensive, (28) Fitz Stephens Description of Lond. translated with Annotations.

In Bed- well’s time, (1600) they were very extensive, but were then, and had been for many years decreasing. It is by no means improbable that these woods formed part of this forest. Tottenham Wood at the present day is very small, and still daily decreasing, and in a very few years c 3 that it reached from that part of the city of London, called Houndsditch, to about twelve miles north, and was the joint property of the whole corporation of the city of London. (35) Enfield Chace was part of this forest, (36) and also belonged to the citizens of London. In this forest the citizens were accustomed to enjoy the diversion of hunting, (37) fowling, with merlins will, in all probability, disappear altogether. See Bedwell’s Hist, of Tottenham, 1631, p. 115, reprinted in Appendix No. 2, to Robinson’s Hist, of Tottenham, 1818. (35) Thornton's Hist, of London, 1784, p. 480. (36) Enfield Chace was a small portion of the Forest of Middlesex. Maitland's London, p. 78. Lord Lyttleton's History, iii. p. 274. (37) From this circumstance, originated the city officer, called “the common hunt, or huntsman.” See Maitland’s Hist, of London, pp. 1207, 1378. The common hunt of the citizens is ridiculed in an old ballad, published in D’Ursey’s collection, from which the three following stanzas are selected. “ Next once a year into Essex a hunting they go; To see ’em pass along, O ’tis a most pretty shew : Through Cheapside and Fenchurch Street, and so to Aldgatepnmp, Each man with’s spurs in’s horses sides, and his back-sword cross his rump. My lord he takes a staff in hand to beat the bushes o’er; I must confess it was a work he ne’er had done before. A creature bounceth from a bush, which made them all to laugh ; My lord he cried a hare, a hare, but it proved an Essex calf. And when they had done their sport, they came to London where they dwell, Their faces all so torn and scratch’d, their wives scarce knew them well; For ’twas a very great mercy, so many ’scap’d alive, For of twenty saddles carried out, they brought again but five.” Strutt's Sports, p. 14. ' " ' - - * ' ♦ ■ and hawks (3S) and such other exercises, as were common in those days : but as commerce, and a love of industry increased, these diversions were in a great measure neglected, and the forest gradually laid open, (") so that at last it became the property of individuals. The Chace which was the only part that remained of this extensive forest, was for many years the property of the crown, and annexed to the Duchy of Lancaster. In the year 1777, it was disafforested by act of parliament, 17 Geo. III. chap. 17 (40); since which time the greatest part of it has been stocked up and enclosed, and the land cultivated; so that of that immense forest, little or nothing at this time remains. OF WYER-HALLE, WYRALLS, OR GOODESTERS. Wyer-hall was formexly an ancient mansion situate in Silver Street on the road to Southgate and (38) Hawking was a general sport and exercise among the nobility and gentry. Lord Lyttleton, ii. p. 300. (39) The Forest of Middlesex (of which this was part) was not disafforested until the year 1218, in the reign of Ilenry III. See Maitland’s Lond. p. 78. But the ancient wood which afforded cover to its quadruped inhabitants, remained long after. Of this discription was Hampstead Wood, (which covered a large extent of ground in that neighbourhood) Tottenham Wood which covered several hundred acres in that parish. Of that part which formed Hampstead Wood, nothing now remains, except a few acres inclosed within Lord Mansfield’s premises, now called Cain or Ken Wood. Of that part which formed Tottenham Wood, mention is made in note 34, page 21. (40) Lamb. London, vol. iv. p. 244. c 4 Palmer’s Green. It is probable that it took its name from the family of Wyrehalle, who had considerable property in Edmonton in the time of Edward III. 1340.(41) About the year 1581, it was the property of Jaspar Leeke, Esq. who inherited it from his father. Mr. George Huxley, of London, citizen and haberdasher, purchased this estate of Sir John Leeke, and Dame Ann his wife, which they conveyed to him by bargain and sale, dated the 12th of June, 1609, and which continued in the direct male line, until the decease of Thomas Huxley, Esq. in 1743. Thomas Huxley devised his estates to his two daughters, to the youngest of whom, (Sarah) Wyrehall, was apportioned on a partition in the year 1752. Sarah died unmanned in 1801, and devised Wyer Hall, together with her lands in Edmonton, unto five of her cousins, from whom it descended to Janies George Tatem, Esq. except one fifth which is the property of his aunt, who was one of the devisees of Mrs. Sarah Huxley. Wyer-hall was repaired in the year 1611, by George Huxley and Katherine his wife, whose maiden name was Robertson. Their united arms carved in oak was placed over the chimney piece in the great hall; and their initials also appeared on the cistern heads of the water pipes. During the commonwealth, marriage contracts or ceremonies were performed in the porch of Wyer-hall, in the presence of the then proprietor, John Huxley, Esq. (42) the son of the before named George Huxley, (41) Cart. Ant. Dec. and Chap. Westmister. (42) “ The names of all such persons as have been jovned togeather " in marriage wth in the parishe of Edmonton, since the 29th of “ September, 1659, in such manner and forme as by act of parliament “ in that case made is limited and appoynted.” a magistrate for the county. The son of this John, whose name was also John, was knighted by Charles the Second; but the reason for his having received that honour is now unknown. On the demolition of the Mansion-house in 1818, it was evident that it had been partly rebuilt at some period, since old mortice holes were formed in many of the larger girders. Musket shot of a small size, or pistol balls, were found in many parts of the walls; and from this circumstance we might be induced to form a conjecture, that, during the civil wars, this house had been attacked. Among the coins found, there were none of antiquity, being chiefly those of the reigns of Elizabeth, and Charles the First. The only article found worthy of notice, was a silver spoon with an hexagonal stem, summounted by a crest; a lion in a sitting posture; the crest was gilt. This spoon the bowl of which is much shattered is in the possession of James George Tatem, Esq. and appears to be of the date of Elizabeth. The house was built of bricks and of lofty and spacious dimensions. The principal entrance was through a porch, which formed the lower part of a central projecting turret. The upper divisions of the building were ornamented with pediments of scroll work, among' which appeared the rose and pomegranate, the devices “ On the 12th day of December, 1653, John Head Tayler, and “ Judith Downehalle both of this parishe, were by John Iluxley, “ Esq. one of the justices of the peace for the county of Middlesex, “ joyned togeather in marriage in such manner and forme as by the “ act of parliament in that case made is limited and appointed.” Extracted from an old register of Edmonton. of England and Arragon. (*3) The interior experienced only a few alterations, and did not contain any particular of unusual interest. In the hall were some g-oocl family portraits. In an upper room were the arms of the Merchant Adventurers, to which company Mr. Huxley belonged. This house had been for many years inhabited by different persons, and was once occupied as a boarding-house. Mr. James George Tatem, the present owner of the estate, experiencing much difficulty in getting a tenant from the very dilapidated state, into which the house had fallen, caused the whole to be pulled down, and the materials to be sold by auction. The site of the house, out- offices, gardens, and an orchard, together about seven acres, is now let to Mr. Robert Warner, the possessor of the unique cottage opposite, the site of which with the grounds was formerly the fish-ponds attached to and part of the ancient domain of Wyer-halle. (43) This circumstance determines with sufficient precision the era of its erection. The rose, as is well known, had long been the device of England : but when Henry the Eighth married Catherine of Arragon, in 1509, it was used in conjunction with the pomegranate to designate the union of the two royal houses of England and Arragon. It was probably from a similar respect to James the First, the then reigning prince, that when the building underwent a considerable repair in 1611, the arms of England with the initials I. R. adorned the carved pannels of the wainscot chimney piece of the principal apartment, which occupied the centre of the building. What confers an additional corroboration on this conjecture respecting the time that I have assigned for the erection of the edifice, is, that the style of architecture, in which it was constructed, corresponded much more with that which prevailed in the latter part of the 15th century, and the beginning of the 16th, than with that of any subsequent period OF THE RECTORY HOUSE. The Rectory House is situated a short distance from the church on the north side of the road which leads to Bush Hill; it is a very substantial and handsome brick building, and was the residence of Archbishop Tillotson^41) at the time he was Dean of St. Paul’s, and he chose it as an occasional dwelling after he was promoted to the see of Canterbury. The day previous to his consecration as archbishop, he retired to this house and prepared himself by fast- (44) John Tillotson, an eminent prelate was the son of a clothier at Sowerby in Yorkshire, and was born 1630. He received his education at Clare Hall, Cambridge, where he was chosen fellow in 1651- Though bred among the puritans, he conformed at the Restoration of the Church of England, and became curate of Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire. In 1663 he was chosen preacher to the society of Lincoln’s Inn, and the year after, Lecturer of St. Lawrence Jury. In 1666 he took his degree of D. D. and in 1670 was made prebendary, and two years after, Dean of Canterbury. He attended Lord Russel on the scaffold, and endeavoured to prevail on him to acknowledge the doctrine of non-resistence, a principle which the doctor himself had afterwards occasion to renounce. He was very zealous against popery in the reign of James the Second, and immediately after the restoration, became the confidential friend of William and Mary, who bestowed on him the archbishopric of Canterbury, after the deprivation of Dr. Sancroft. This drew upon him the hatred of the non-jurors, who published many severe animadversions upon him. He also received numerous letters of abuse, a large bundle of which was found in his study, with this inscription, “ These are libels, I pray God forgive the authors of them, I do,” this excellent prelate died in the arms of his pious friend Mr. Nelson, in 1694.

This house now the residence of James Bowden, Esq. was formerly the seat of president Bradshaw, (46) and consequently the resort of the most conspicuous characters in opposition to the cause of the unfortunate Charles. The interior still retains many of its original ceilings and embellishments and over the chimney piece in the dining room are the arms of Bradshaw. Bury Street, in which his house is situated, diverges from the high road towards the north west, and contains several houses, which bear marks of considerable antiquity: but none of so much interest as Bury Hall.

What gives him a place in history is neither his talents, nor his virtues, but his having had the assurance to sit in judgment upon his sovereign Charles the First, his reward for which was as extraordinary as his crime, as the parliament soon after made him a present of Summer Hill, a seat of the Earl of St. Alban’s, valued at £ 1000. a year. He is supposed to have communicated some old evidences to Marclunont Needham, for insertion in his translation of Selden’s Mare Clausum, lie died in 1659, and at the Restoration, his body, after being hungup at Tyburn with those of Cromwell and Ireton, was buried under the gallows. Grainger’s Jiiog. History. OF BUSH HILL PARK. Bush Hill Park, the seat of William Mellish, Esq. M. P. for Middlesex. The house, which is situated in the parish of Edmonton, near the town of Enfield, about eight miles distant from London, is a brick building' and built in the modern style, formerly the property and residence of the family of Sambrooke, from whom it descended to the present proprietor’s great grandfather. The principal front is towards the park, is laid out with the most correct taste, and the luxuriant foliage of its trees, affords the most pleasing- study to an artist; it is watered by the ornamental course of the New River, (46) which passes through the grounds, and adds much to the beauty of the scene. The grounds are said to have been first laid out by Le Nautre; they command very beautiful and attractive prospects. Near the house is an elegant clump of firs, called the bishops, so named from the number of trees which it contains. Among the embellishments of the interior of the mansion, there is a beautiful piece of carving, by Grinling Gibbons, (17) representing the stoning of St. Stephen. (46) The New River is widened considerably in this park ; through which there was formerly a good path. (47) Grinling Gibbons, was an eminent sculptor in the seventeenth century, the son of a Dutchman who settled in England. He was employed by Charles II. who appointed him to a place in the board of works, and employed him in ornamenting several of his palaces. lie carved the foliage in the chapel at Windsor, the choir of St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the admirable font in St. James’s Church, Westminster ; but his principal performance U said to be at Petworth, in Sussex. He died in 1721. Walpole's Anecdotes of Paintings. This exquisite piece of workmanship is the more remarkable, as it was incidental to the advancement in life of the artist: it stood for some time in the house occupied by Gibbons, in conjunction with a musician, at Deptford. Mr. Evelyn, (4S) the beneficent and ingenious writer, first saw it here, and that gentleman, with the assistance of Sir Peter Lely, (49) successfully (48) John Evelyn, an ingenious writer, was born at Wotton, in Surrey, in 1620, and educated at Baliol College, Oxford. By his marriage with the only daughter of Sir Richard Brown, in 1647, he became possessed of Saye’s Court, a manor in Kent, where he led a retired life till the restoration, to which he had in some measure contributed. At the establishment of the royal society he became one of the first members. In 1662, appeared his Scriptura, or the History and Art of Chalcography and Engraving on Copper. This is a very curious and valuable work, and was reprinted in 1755. In 1664, he was appointed a commissioner for the sick and wounded seamen, and one of the commissioners for building St. Pauls, and afterwards had a place at the Board of Trade. In the reign of James II. he was made one of the commissioners for executing the office of Lord Privy Seal, and after the revolution, appointed treasurer of Greenwich Hospital; Mr. Evelyn had the honour of being one of the first who improved horticulture, and introduced exotics into this country. Of his garden at Sayes Court, a curious account may be seen in the Philosophical Transactions. He died in 1706, and was hurried at Wotton. Biog. Brit. (49) This illustrious painter, born in 1637, at Westphalia, in Germany . first studied at the Hague, and afterwards under De Grebber. At the age of twenty-four, the great encouragement which the polite arts received from Charles I. drew him over to England ; and, pursuing the natural bent of his genius, he painted landscape with small figures, as well as historical subjects. But soon discovering the superior advantage to be derived from portraits, he made his inclination yield to his interest, and in a short time surpassed every competitor. He had early felt an inclination to finish his studies in Italy ; but business crouded on him so fast, that he could never find leisure: and he contrived to supply that deficiency, by collecting all the best drawings, prints, and paintings of the Italian school, (t was by thus becoming introduced the carver to the notice of Charles II. This estate was formerly in the possession of Mr. Gore. OF BUSH HILL. This place was in former times covered with bushes, briars and thorns, from which it derives its name, is conversant with the works of the greatest masters, that he formed his own admirable style. In his correct draught and beautiful colouring, and particularly in the graceful airs of his heads, the pleasing variety of his attitudes, and the easy and loose management of his draperies, he excelled most of his predecessors, and affords invaluable studies to succeeding artists. He drew a portrait of Charles I. while that unfortunate monarch was a prisoner at Hampton Court; and Charles II. not only made him his principal painter, but conferred on him the honor of knighthood. He was indeed a great favourite with Charles II. and was much respected by the first characters in the kingdom. Such, in short, was the extent of his professional engagements, that one of his domestics was employed to write the names of the nobility who had taken hours for sitting; and, when any failed punctually to attend, they were placed at the bottom of the list, without the smallest regard to rank or sex. Sir Peter Lely lived in prodigious splendor. He had a numerous retinue; kept an open table; and had a band of music at his meals. He married a most beautiful English lady ; and, having purchased an estate at Kew, frequently retired thither during the latter part of his life. He died in 1680; and was buried at St. Paul’s, Covent Garden. It is remarked, that Sir Peter, in his faces, preserves a languishing air and drowsy sweetness peculiar to himself; but whatever may be objected to, his works are every where held in high estimation. The landscapes in liis pictures are different from all others, and much better than most masters could produce : lie was also a good historical painter; and his crayon drawings are so admirable, that they have been frequently judged the most valuable of his pieces, as being entirely done by his own hand, without any of that assistance which eminent masters occasionally receive in the subordinate parts. situated between Enfield and Winchmore Hill: at a short distance from the New River, by the side of the Hill, there was formerly in the road a bridge, over a little rill, called Red-bridge, which bridge and rill are the bounds of the parishes of Enfield and Edmonton. Near this delightful spot, Isaac Cui’rie, Esq. has a handsome villa, which stands on one of the most desirable points of this fine promontory, and which will be viewed with no ordinary portion of interest, when it is remarked, that on this very spot stood once the residence of that great contributor to the comfort and luxury of the citizens of London, “ Sir Hugh Middleton.” Some pai’t of the old buildings are still remaining, but great alterations and improvements have been made, chiefly by Mr. Currie. The famous wooden aqueduct, or open trough, before mentioned, was formerly within the grounds attached to this residence. (40) On Bush Hill, adjoining Enfield Park, in the grounds of Samuel Clayton, Esq. (51) and partly within the gardens, is the remains of a circular entrenchment of considerable dimensions, which is supposed by some antiquaries to have been a Roman camp, or British oppidum.

(51) Tlie scat of the late Samuel Clayton, Esq. now belongs to his nephew, and is in the possession of Mellor Hetherington, Esq. Hill, near a little thatched cottage, is a well, called “Vicar’s Well,” so called from having been enclosed by a vicar of this parish. It is of antiquity, but what was the vicar’s name, and in what year he enclosed it, is not at this day known. The water is very pure, always flowing, and was formerly in great estimation among the inhabitants of the adjacent villages. This village is long and straggling, and contains about forty or fifty houses, with a meeting house for the Quakers. Adjoining is a wood of about a mile over, which formerly belonged to Mr. Nicholl, who built Michendon House, it is divided into twelve falls, one of which is cut down every year. There is a delightful walk through this wood which leads from this spot to Southo-ate. C5 OF SOUTHGATE. Southgate is so called from its being situated at the south gate of Enfield Chace, formerly called South Street, and includes Palmer’s Green. It contains many handsome houses, and among them the following : Arno’s Grove, the seat and residence of John Walker, Esq. is to be numbered among the many villas which ornament this large and populous hamlet. An ancient building on this spot, called Arnolds, belonged about the year 1610, to Sir John Weld, Kt. and after some intermediate transmissions, was purchased about the year 1720, by James Colebrooke, D Esq. who was succeeded in this estate by his son, Sir Geo. Colebrooke, Bart. The estate was purchased by the present proprietor, Isaac Walker, Esq. of Mr. Brown. The present structure was begun by Mr. Colebrooke, and enlarged by his son, who employed Sir R. Taylor as his architect: a wing on the south, was added by Lord Newhaven, who possessed the estate previously to Mr. Brown, and who gave to it its present name. It is a handsome family residence, and the apartments in general are of good proportions. The staircase was painted by Lanscroon, a pupil of Verrio, in 1723 ; the subject is the triumphal entry of Julius Csesar into Rome, and the subsequent apotheosis of that hero. The paintings are well preserved, and as good as any decoration of the kind in this county. The grounds comprise about one hundred acres, ornamented by the winding of the New River, which here gains an accession of beauty from flowing through a wider channel than its accustomed course. The plantations near the house are stocked with a choice collection of hardy exotics. There are also a range of very extensive hot houses, well supplied with curious plants, collected at a great expense and trouble. Upon the whole, Arnolds may be considered truly a gentleman’s residence. Bromfield House, formerly the ancient seat of the family of Skeffington, afterwards it belonged for three centuries to the family of Jackson, and is now the property and residence of Win. Tash, Esq. Cannon’s or Culland’s Grove is the property and residence of Sir William Curtis, Bart, who has resided here many years, (R2) and who since he become possessed of this estate has very much improved it. The interior of this elegant mansion comprises numerous and well arranged suites of apartments; and the gardens and grounds which are extensive, are laid out and disposed with much taste. There is also a noble range of forcing houses. Southgate Grove, the seat of Walker Gray, Esq. is a neat regular building of the Ionic order, and was designed by Nash. Three fronts of this structure are decorated to the height of the order, are ornamented with columns, and display considerable taste. The pleasure grounds which surround it are uneven, and gradually incline to a large piece of water, while the coppice wood, which hangs over it, adds greatly to the beauty of the place. The grounds are laid out with taste, and add no little ornament to the scenery. Michendon House, is a large brick mansion, and was the property of the late Duchess Dowager of Chan- dos (53). It was built by John Nicholl, Esq. (54) who (52) Sir William Curtis was described of this place when he was created Bart, in 1802. (53) King George II. coining on a visit to one of the late Duke’s predecessors, wasobliged to pass through Bet-stile Wood upon trespass, the man who kept the gate being ordered to open it for his majesty, refused, and said, “ If he be the devil he shall pay me before he passes.” The consequence was, that the duke made it a free road. (54) James Duke of Cliandos, was born Dec. 27, 1731. Soon after he came of age, he was appointed Ranger of Enfield Chace. lie married 22d March, 1753, Margaret, daughter and sole heiress of John D 2 did but just live to complete it. On the death of her Grace in 1813, it descended to the Marquis of Buckingham, in right of his wife, the daughter and heiress of the late and last Duke of Chandos. The house was the occasional residence of the late Duchess Dowager; and it is now sometimes visited by the Marchioness of Buckingham, who passed many of her early years at Southgate. Of ii)t iHanot*£b THE MANOR OF EDELMETON, OTHERWISE SAYESBURYE This district or manor, in the time of Edward the Confessor, was possessed by Asgar, (55) who was Nicholl, Esq. of Southgate, by which match, lie became possessed of Michcndon House, at Southgate, together with the whole of Mr. Nicholl’s fortune. Her Grace died 14th Aug. 176S, without issue, at Michcndon House, and was hurried at Whitchurch. Her great abilities, amiable temper, and agreeable person, qualified her to have made a most shining figure in public life amongst those of her own rank ; but her natural disposition, joined to a tender and delicate constitution, induced her to cultivate the virtues of a more retired life. (55) Asgar had been master of the horse, Constable of the Army, &c. Might not stallarius have been interpreted the woodman? Dr. Holycke defines stallarius, thus, “ Locus nemorosus ubi arbores post aliquot auiuorum intercapedines attondi solent fomitis, aut sepium rcstaurandarum gratia, nam et arbores hujus modi quibusdam Stalli, aliis Standes quasi Stationarise diet® sunt.” Sec Spelman. It might have been a surname, as there occur among the tenets of Doomesday Book, Theodoricus aurifaber, or the goldsmith ; Giselburtus arbalis tarius, or the cross-bow maker; Walterus cocus, the cook, &c. afterwards stallarius or master of the horse, to William the Conqueror. At the time of the general survey, (5G) which was ordered to be made by that monarch, it was held by Geoffrey Magnaville or Mandaville, as appears by Doomesday Book. (6T) When William the Conqueror undertook his expedition into England, Geoffrey de Mandeville was one of those valorous chiefs, who (56) A short account of this valuable record may not be unacceptable. Ingulphus, who was secretary to the conqueror, by whose order the survey of Doomesday was made, says, “ King William for the taxing of his w hole land, tooke this order in all England, there was not a hide of land but he knew the value thereof, and the possessor also, neither meire nor place their was, but it was valued in the king’s roll, the rents and profits, the possession and the possessor, were made manifest and knowne unto the king, according to the fidelity of the taxors, which being chosen, out of every county, taxed or seized their owne territories, or made their own rent roll. This roll is called the roll of Winton, and of the Englishmen for the gcneralitie thereof, containing wholie all the tenements of ye w hole land, it is named Doomesday. Such a roll and very like, did king Alfred once set forth, in which he taxed all the lands of Englande by shires, hundreds, and tythings.” This survey was began in 10S0, and finished in 1086.

This Geoffrey was succeeded by his son, William de Mandeville, who married Margaret, only daughter of Eudo Dapifer, and left Geoffrey his successor, whom King Stephen, in 1139, created Earl of Essex, (“) who married Rohesin, the daughter of Alberic de Vere, Chief Justice of England, and sister to Alberic, the first Lord of Oxford: he was killed at the siege of Burwel Castle, in 1144, and William de Mandeville, (59) his son and successor dying in 1190 without issue, this manor was inhabited by his aunt Beatrice, (daughter of William de Mandeville, and sister to Geoffrey, Earl of Essex above named) who married William de Say, (r>0) ancestor of the Lords of Say and Berling 58) This Earl of Essex was buried in the Temple Church, where is his effigy with a shield, on which his arms are sculptured, being the earliest instance known of a monument ornamented with an armorial bearing.

(60) William de Say, was the patriarch of that noble family in England, who came over with the Norman conqueror in 1066 ; and marrying Agnes, daughter of the renowned Hugh de Grentesmaisnill, by Adelide or Alice, daughter of Ivo, Count de Bellemonte, was father of an only son and heir, Geofl'ery de Say, who by his wife, Hawise, daughter of-de Clare, had also an only son and heir, William de Say, Baron Say. This William espoused Beati.x, daughter of William and sister and heir of Geoffrey Mandeville, Earl of Essex, and by her, who died 1201, was father of two sons, William de Say, who died in his father’s life time, leaving by his wife two daughters, Beatrice, successively wedded to Geoffrey Fitz Piers, Earl of Essex, and who was then a widow; she had two sons, William, who left issue, Beatrix, the wife of Geoffrey Fitz Piers, afterwards Earl of Essex ; Maud, the wife of William de Bocland, and Geoffrey who married the daughter of Walkedine de Maminot, whose descendant Geoffrey, afterwards purchased the manor of Edmonton, which was enjoyed by several of his posterity. It remained in that family many years. (61) But it does not appear who were the intermediate possessors of the manor, before the above named Geoffrey, who according1 to Dug-dale died in 15 Edw. II. having- a short time before purchased the manor of Edelmetone; leaving it to Geoffrey his son, at that time seventeen years of age, which Geoffrey making proof of his age, in 19 Edw. II. had livery of his lands, and was first summoned to parliament in 1 Edw. III. He died 33 Edw. III. leaving issue by Maud his wife, daughter of Guy de Beau- John, Baron of Wahull ; and Maud married William de Borland, and Geoffrey de Say, which Geoffrey had an only son and heir, named Geoffrey de Say, by his wife Lettice, daughter of Walkedine de Maminot, by Julian his wife. The said Geoffrey de Say, his only son and successor, took arms with the discontented Barons against King John, and dying in 1230, left an only son and heir, William de Say, by Alice his wife, daughter and co-heir of John de Casineto, or Cheney.

Adam Francis having purchased the manor of Edmonton of William (64) See the epitaph of this Adam, and his sister Elizabeth note 10. dying in his infancy, his daughter Matilda became his sole heir. She was thrice married ; first to John Aubrey; secondly, to Sir Allen Buxhull; and thirdly, to John Montacute, Earl of Salisbury, by whom she was the mother of Thomas, the last Earl of that family. A great part of the large inheritance of Maud, Countess of Salisbury, was sold by her husband. (65) It is probable he aliened the manor of Edmonton, to Sir Adam Fraunceys, who, it is most likely, was cousin to his wife, and who died seized of it, in 1418, leaving- two daughters, Agnes and Elizabeth. Agnes married Sir William Porter, and Elizabeth Maud (66) married de Say, without the king’s licence an inquisition, ad quod damnum, was taken, 43 Edward III. to inquire whether it would be to the prejudice of the king, if Adam Francis should enfeoff Robert Belknapp and John Wroth of the manor, to the ijfcnt that they should grant it to the said Francis and his heirs, Esch. 43 Edward III. part 2, No. 22. Robert Belknapp and John Wroth having been thus enfeoffed, granted the manor to Adam Francis, and his heirs accordingly. See cl. 45, Edward III. m. 25 dorso. (65) Dugdale's Baronage, vol. 1, p. 65.

King Henry VII. soon afterwards granted the manor of Edelmeton otherwise Sayesburye to Sir Thomas Bour- chier in tail male; (70) and King Henry VIII. in the third year of his reign granted the revenue, on the like terms, to Sir John Petche, and John Sharpe, (71) and in 1523, Sir Thomas Bourchier and John Sharpe, being then both deceased without male issue, to Sir Henry Courtenay, afterwards Marquis of Exeter, (7S) who, in 1532, obtained a grant of the manor in fee, (7S) and in the next year had the king’s licence to alien it to William Sulyard.(71) William Sulyard in 1534, sold one moiety to Balthazar do Guerseye.

Among the services done to the king by Lord Cromwell, enumerated by himself; is mentioned the purchase of this manor. See TVeever's Funeral Monuments, edition 1631, p. 512. (77) Thomas Cromwell was the son of a blacksmith at Putney, in Surrey, and born about 1490, without a liberal education, but endowed with uncommon natural genius; he travelled for the improvement of his mind and became clerk to the English factory at Antwerp, which situation he soon left, and went into several countries as the secret agent of his sovereign. On his return to England he was taken into the service of Cardinal Wolsey, who obtained for him a seat in the House of Commons, where he defended his master with great spirit ; Wolsey from the arbitrary manner in which he had long governed England was apprehensive of the gathering storm, and being afraid of the Commons, secured the seat for Cromwell, that he might have an able advocate in his favour, and Cromwell having managed the defence of the cardinal with so much ability the king took him into his service, aud gave him several valuable and important places, and in 1640 created him Earl of Essex, with many manors and estates, the spoils of the church. He obtained all these honors and estates as a reward for his having greatly promoted the dissolutions of the monasteries. Cromwell retained one virtue seldom to be found in courts, namely, gratitude to his fallen benefactor, Wolsey, whose interest he endeavoured to support, even after he had been disgraced at court. Amidst the greatest honours which a subject could enjoy, he conducted himself with the most astonishing circumspection, and in such a manner as might have been little expected from a person of his obscure birth. He was the patron of learning, virtue, and religion; nor was any man appointed a place under him whose manners were not pure, and character irreproachable. From the moment he acquired any authority in the cabinet, he employed it in promoting the reformation ; to his zeal for which, lie became a victim, for the more firmly to secure the protestant cause he brought about the marriage between Henry VIII. and Anne of Clcves the daughter of John third Duke of Clevcs, a Lutheran. Unfortunately the king conceived It having been seized as her property in the year 1650, was sold to John Clayton and William Bar- wick (re). At the restoration it reverted to the Queen Dowag-er, who died in 1669; it was afterwards part of Queen Katherine’s jointure. King Charles II. in the year 1676, granted a reversionary lease of this manor, for the term of forty-one years, after the Queen’s death, to John, Earl of Rochester. (79) Queen disgust at this lady, a divorce ensued, and Anne returned to her own country, where she died in 1557. Cromwell’s ruin soon followed, for with his usual cruelty and caprice, Henry did not hesitate to sacrifice his minister to the Roman Catholic party, to whom he seemed desirous of reconciling himself as soon as he had taken a fancy to Catherine Howard. Although Cromwell was generally considered a good politician, yet he was guilty of of some errors. In his zeal for the new religion he had introduced the unjustifiable mode of attainder in cases of treason and heresy. This was now made the instrument of his own overthrow. His enemies were numerous, and of two descriptions, viz. the ancient nobility who despised him. for the meanness of his origin, and were inflamed with jealousy at seeing the highest posts in the state bestowed on a plebeian; and the Roman Catholies, who detested him for having advised the king to seize the revenues of monasteries. These united in preferring a number of accusations against him, and availed themselves of his own law, to introduce a bill of attainder, which was quickly passed with very trifling opposition, and he was tried for treason and heresy, and beheaded on Tower-hill, 28 July, 1540. Thus fell the great minister, who had raised himself to the highest station, by the strength of hi* natural abilities, and who,at the height of his prosperity, never lost sight of the lowliness of his origin, or was ungrateful to any one who had assisted to raise him from it. He left a son who was created Lord Cromwell, which title continued in the family many years, Biog. Brit. Dc Thou. Hist. Morei. Watkins Biog. Lamb. Lond. 423. (78) Particulars of Sale. Augm. Office.

The custon of the manor is, that the youngest son shall inherit, and if there is not such a son then the youngest brother (S3). The manor of Edmonton as described in Doomesday Book, (8i) contained thirty-six carucates (8S) of arable his fine qualities by tile most dissolute principles and licentious conduct. He shortened his days by intemperance, but died very penitent in 1680. His satirical poems are keen, but their obscenity and impiety render them excessively disgusting. Burnett's Life of Rochester.

(85) A carucate of land, is a certain quantity by which the subjects have been heretofore taxed, whereupon the tribute so levied was called caruage. Bract. 1,2, c. 16, No. 8. Soca is the same as caruca. sc. a soke or plow. Lit. sec. 119. Stow in his Annals, p. 271, has these land, of which sixteen hides were in demesne (Sfl). The Lord employed four ploughs, the villeins twenty- words, “The same time H. the King took carnage, that is to say, two marks of silver for every knight's fee, to the marriage of his sister Isabel to the Emperor, by which it seems there was raised of every plow land so much, and so consequently of every knight’s fee, two marks of silver. Rastal in his Exposition of Words, saith, “ that caruage is to be quit, if the king shall tax all the land by carues, that is, a privilege by which a man is freed from caruage.” Skene says, “ that it contains a great portion of land, as may be espied or tilled in a year and a day with one plough, which is also called hilda, or hida terras, a word used in the old British law. A carucate, or carue of land, (carucatas terrae) a plow land, which in a deed of Thomas de Arden, 19 Edw. II. is declared to be one hundred acres, by which the subject has been sometimes taxed, whereupon the tribute so levied, was called caruagium or carucagium. Bract, lib. 2, cap. 26. By the statute of 7 and 8 William III. c. 29, a plow land which may contain houses, mills, pasture, meadow, wood, &c. is £50. per Annum. Littleton in his chap, of Tenure in Socage saith, “ that soca idem est quod carucata, or soke or plow land are all one.” On peace made between England and France in 1200, King John lent the King of France 30,000 marks, for which caruage was collected in England, viz. 3s. for each plow.

Crompton in his Jurisdict. fo. 222, says, a hide of land contains one hundred acres, * Beda or Bede, called the venerable, an ancient English writer, was born in 672, at Wearmouth, in the Bishopric of Durham, educated in the monasteiy of St. Peter, and ordained by St. John de Beverly, Bishop of Hcxam. His fame for learning was so great, that Pope Sergeus wrote to his abbot, to send him to Rome, but Bede declined the honor. He devoted the whole of his life to the writing his Ecclesiastical History, and other works, and in instructing the young monks. The best edition of this History is that in 1722, folio. He died in 736. An English council directed his works to be read in the churches. Biog. Brit. two; (87) one villein held a hide of land; three others half a hide each; twenty villeins held a virgate (^) each ; and twenty-four half a virgate ; nine bordars(89) and eight hides make a knight’s fee. Henry Hunting's History, lib. 6, f. 206, b. Sir Edward Coke holds that a knight’s fee, a hide or plough land, a yard land, or an oxgang of land, do not contain any certain number of acres, Co. Lit. fo. 69. A knight’s fee formerly consisted of twelve carves of land, each carve contained eight oxgang, and an oxgang was fifteen acres, so that a knight’s fee amounted to ,£20. per Annum. A hide, a plough land, or a carve are equivalent. Drayton s Poly- Olbion, p. 18S. This distribution of land in England in hides of land is very ancient, for there is mention of them in the laws of King Ina*. cap. 14, Spelm. and see Cam. Brit. (87) Villani or villein, signified a man of low, base, or servile condition, a bondman or servant. Of these there were two sorts in England, one termed villain in gross, who was immediately bound to the person of the lord and his heirs; the other a villein regardant to the manor, being bound to his lord as a member belonging and annexed to the manor, whereof the lord was owner, and whom the lord might put out of his lands and tenements, goods and chattels, at his will. Les Termes de la Ley, 539 (88) A virgate, or yard land, is a quantity of land, different according to the custom of the place or county; in some counties twenty, in some twenty-four, and in others thirty acres of land. At Wimbledon in Surrey it is but fifteen acres. Bract, lib. 2, c. 20, and Les Termes de la Ley, 556. (89) Bordarii or Bordimanni; Bordars ; these words often occur in Doomesday Book, and some think they mean boors, husbandmen or cottagers. In Doomesday Inquisition they were distinct from the villani, and seemed to be those of a less servile condition, and had a bord or cottage, with a small piece of land allowed to them, on con- * Ina, was King of the West Saxons, and acquired great fame by his expeditions against the neighbouring princes.

Rapin. held three virgates each; four others held five acres each; four others four acres each. There were four cottars (90) who held four acres jointly; and ten cottars and four villeins wrho held jointly one hide and a virgate. There were four slaves and a mill valued at 10s. There was meadow sufficient for twenty-six plough lands; (91) and 25 shillings rents ; pasture for the cattle, pannage for two thousand hogs; (") and 12s. issuing from the profits of the woods and pasture; on the whole valued at £40. both in the time of Edward the Confessor, and when the survey was taken, but was worth only £20. when first granted to Geoffrey de Man devil le. In 1271, the manor was valued at £50. 13s. 6fd. dition that they should supply the lord’s table with poultry and eggs, and other small provision for his board. Some derive the word bordarii from the old Gall, bords, the limits or extreme parts of any extent, as the borders of a country, and the borderers or inhabitants in those parts. Spelin. (90) Cottars, cottarius, or cottager. The cottarii are mentioned in Doomesday, as the inhabitants of cottages. By stat. 31 Eliz. cap. 7, no man could build a cottage for habitation, unless he lay unto it four acres of freehold land, except in market towns or cities, or within a mile of the sea, or for the habitation of labourers in mines, sailors, foresters, shepherds, &c.

(97) SIR ROBERT AGUILLON’S MANOR. In the reign of King Edward I.

From Sir Robert Aguillon it descended to Hugh Bardoff, who married his daughter Isabel, (") (93) The present manor house is that in which the courts are held, and is little more than a cottage.

The Priory of the Holy Trinity was founded by Queen Maud, the wife 6f Henry I. in 1108, for canons regular of the order of St. Augustin, with great endowments. This priory was built on a piece of ground upwards of three hundred feet long, in the parish of St. Catherine’s, towards Aldgate, near the paro chial chapel of St. Michael. It was said to be the richest priory in England, and was for that reason, selected to be the first that was dissolved by Henry VIII. in the year 1531, who gave it to Sir Thomas Audley, Speaker of the House of Commons, for his services in opposition to Cardinal Wolsey. Sir Thomas demolished the priory, and converted it into a large mansion, where he resided during the time he was Lord Chancellor. The Duke of Norfolk having married his only daughter, this estate descended to him : but the duke having been beheaded, the mansion and estate came to Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk, the eldest son of the said Duke, by Audley’s daughter, who by bargain and sale, dated 21 July, 34 Eliz. conveyed it to the mayor, commonalty, and citizens of London, and their successors. It is now known by the name of Duke’s-place. Lamb. Lond. 391. The Priory of St. John of Jerusalem, was situated on the west side of St. John’s Street, Clerkenwell, in the county of Middlesex, (the present scite of St. John’s Square,) was founded by Jordan Briset, Baron, and Muriel, his wife, about the year 1100, which Jordan having first founded a priory for nuns at Clerkenwell, bought of them ten acres of land, giving them in exchange other ten acres of land, in his lordship of Welynghall in Kent. This hospital was dedicated to the honour of St. John the Baptist, by Heraclitus, patriarch of the resurrection of Christ, at Jerusalem, on the 6th of March, 1185. inherited by his brother William, (102) was afterwards, under the name of the manor of Wylby or Willoughby, This was the chief seat in England of the religious knights, hospitalers of St. John of Jerusalem, which within a short time began to flourish; for infinite were the donations of all sorts of people, bigots and enthusiasts, to this fraternity, as may be seen in Monst. Angl. p. 541, and Newc. Repert. vol. ii. 505. But such was the antipathy of the people to these imperious knights, that the rebels of Kent and Essex, under the conduct of Wat Tyler and his rabble, in 1381, consumed this stately edifice by fire. It was afterwards rebuilt in a more magnificent style, and continued upon its former system until it was suppressed by Henry VIII. These knights at their first institution were so humble and poor, that their governor was called “ servant to the poor servants of the hospital at Jerusalem but what from their piety and bravery in war, their condition became so flourishing by the bounty of princes, and private persons, that about the year 1240, they had 1,900 lordships or manors, as the knights templars had 9,000 (whose revenues in England on their dissolution, were, by 17 Edw. II. 1323, granted to the brethren of this hospital,) and this vast increase of revenue made them so effectual a passage to great honours, that their prior was reckoned the first Baron in England, and lived in great state till their suppression as before-mentioned.

Soon after the suppression of their foundation, the building was converted into a repository for military stores, and the royal hunting equipage, and to these purposes it was applied until the year 1550, when Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, and protector of the kingdom, caused the church, with its lofty and beautiful steeple, which Stow says was “graven gilt, and enamelled, to the great beautifying of the city, and passing all other that he had seen,” to he demolished, and the stones thereof used in building his magnificent palace of Somerset House.

(103) By the inquisition taken of Lord Beaumont’s property after his attainder in 1461, it appears that certain persons were enfeoffed of this manor for the use of Lord Beaumont and his heirs, and that William Lord Hastings had till then received the profits. (10t) Lord Hastings by his will, dated in 1482, directed that his feoffees should make an estate of the manor of Edmonton (meaning no doubt this of Willoughby, which was sometimes so called,) immediately after his decease, to Katherine his wife, for the term of her life. (10S) William Lord Beaumont, who was restored to his honours by Henry VII. and in whom the title became extinct, died in 1505 seised of the manor of Wilby’s, or Beaumont’s lands; (IOfi) the inhei’itance of which would have belonged to Francis Lord Lovell, (107) but, in consequence of his attainder, (103) Esch. 20 Rich.

Harleian manuscripts, British Museum, No. 750. (107) Lord Lovell headed an insurrection in the North against Henry VII. and at the head of 3 or 4000 troops, approached to attack the king in York. Henry was not dismayed with the intelligence: his active courage, full of resources, immediately prompted him to find a proper remedy. Though surrounded with enemies, he assembled a small body of troops in whom he could confide, and put them under the command of the Duke of Bedford; finding this hasty armament was more formidable by their spirit and their zealous attachment to him, than by the arms or military stores with which they were provided he gave orders to Bedford not to approach the enemy, but previously try every proper expedient to disperse them. Bedford published a became vested in the crown. Henry VIII. in 1510, granted it for life to Elizabeth Countess of Oxford,(108) whose first husband was William Lord Beaumont, before mentioned. In the year 1523 he granted the revenue to Sir Wiscan Browne in tail male;(109) and again in the last year of his reign, to Sir Philip Hoby, (no) gentleman of his privy chamber. (m) The last grant was in exchange for other lands. The manor was then valued at £12. per annum, and the reversionary interest at five years’ purchase. It was soon afterwards the property of Jasper Pheasant, Esq. who in general promise of pardon to the rebels; which had a greater effect on their leader than on his followers. Lovell, who had undertaken an enterprise that exceeded his courage and capacity, was so terrified with the fear of desertion amongst his troops, that he suddenly withdrew himself, and made his escape into Flanders, where he was protected by the Dutchess of Burgundy. As Lovell was never heard of after this; he was believed to have been killed at the battle of Stoke in Nottinghamshire, June 6lh, 1487. Hume, vol. 4, p, 76, 77, 78. (108) See the recital of this grant next quoted. (109) Pat. 13 Henry VIII. part I, June 26. (110) As soon as the French war broke out in 1549, the protector Somerset endeavoured to fortify himself with the alliance of the Emperor ; and he sent our secretary Paget to Brussels, where Charles then kept court, in order to assist Sir Philip Hoby, the resident ambassador in this negociation. But the Emperor having formed a design of extending his dominion by acting the part of a champion for the Catholic religion, though desirous of forming an alliance with England, against France his capital enemy, he thought it unsuitable to his pretensions to enter into a strict confideracy with a nation which had broken off all connections with the church of Rome. He therefore declined the advances of friendship from England, and eluded the applications of the ambassadors. An exact account of this negocia ation is preserved in a letter of Hoby’s to Burnet, vol. ii. p. 132, 115. llume vol. v. p. 146. (111) Record in Augmentation Office.

(113) Mr. Collet left two daughters, Hester the wife of Sir Anthony Ancher, and Sarah the wife of Sir Peter Hayman. (114) The manor having been divided between the co-heirs; Sir Peter Hayman and his son Henry aliened one moiety in 1631 to John, afterwards Sir John Melton, knight, who sold it again in 1638 to George Pryor, Esq. Mr. Pryor the same year purchased the other moiety, which had been aliened to Sir Ferdinando Heybourne, and was then the property of Ferdinando Pulford and his mother Anne. The manor being again united, descended to Charles Pryor son of the said George, w7ho was in the possession of it in 1697. About this time, the estate having been divided, certain lands parcel of the manor, comprehending the greater part, if not the whole of what lay within the parish of Edmonton, (n5) and amongst the rest a meadow in which is a moat called Willoughby Moat (the site no doubt of the ancient Manor House), (116) came by several mesne conveyances to the present proprietor Charles Snell Chaun- cey, Esq.

THE MANOR OF DEEPHAMS. The manor of Deephams or Diphams, now called Deepham’s or Dipham’s Farm, took its name from Roger de Depebam, who made various purchases in this parish in the l’eign of Edw. III. (117) These lands were included in Adam Francis’s purchases before mentioned, and by the name of the Manor of Dephams, were granted and aliened, with that of Edmonton and Saysbury, till the Marquis of Exeter separated them, and granted the manor of Edmonton to Richard Hankys, (,1S) who aliened it in the year 1541, to William Stamford. (119) William Stamford sold it it again the same year, to John Grimston, (,2°) in whose family it continued till the year 1583, when it was aliened by Gabriel Grimston to Thomas Wroth, (121) and by him in 1588, to William Lord Burleigh.

He was educated at St. John’s College, Cambridge, from whence he was removed to Gray’s Inn. He married a 6ister of Sir John Clieke, by which means he was introduced to the great Duke of Somerset, who appointed him master of requests, and afterwards secretary of slate. He also received the honor of knighthood, and had a scat in the Privy1 Council. When Mary came to the throne, he was dismissed from his employments, but he was still respected, and often consulted by the queen and her ministers. At the accession of Elizabeth he was appointed one of her counsellors, secretary of state, and master of the Court of Wards. Soon afterwards he was chosen Chancellor of Cam- William, Earl of Salisbury, in 1628, sold it to Thomas Style, Esq. (123) from whom it descended by intermarriage to the Ravencrofts, and was aliened in 1789, by Thomas Hylord Ravencroft, Esq. to the late Thomas Cock, Esq. of Tottenham, whose eldest son, John Cock, Esq. of Tottenham, is the present owner of Deepham’s Farm. The house is moated and was formerly the residence of the Bohuns, Earls of Hereford, and also of Sir Edmunbury Godfrey. THE MANORS OF BOWES, DERNFORD, PAULS HOUSE, AND FORDES. These manors are now in the possession of the Dean and Chapter of Saint Paul’s, for all of which they bridge; and in 1571, advanced to the peerage. He died in 1598, leaving two sons. He was an acute steady minister, well acquainted with mankind, indefatigable in business, correct in his private deportment, and of unimpeachable integrity in his public capacity; and so disinterested was he, that though he held the office of lord high treasurer twenty-seven years, he left but a moderate estate to his family. He wrote some tracts in answer to libels on the queen and government: and his state papers were published by Haynes, in 1740, and a continuation by Murdin, in 1760. His second wife was the daughter of Sir Anthony Cook, and a lady of great learning and accomplishments. She was well acquainted with the Greek and Latin languages, and wrote a letter in Greek to the University of Cambridge, where she founded an exhibition for two poor scholars. She also distinguished herself by several other charitable institutions. She died in 1589. Lord Burleigh was greatly affected at her death, as appears by some pathetic meditations, which he wrote on the occasion, Biog. lirit. and Ballard's British Ladies.

III. (188) The first mention of the manor of Bowes, is in a deed, (dated 1397, 19 Richard II.) by which John Northampton, citizen of London, grants the manors of Bowes and Dernford, with Pole House and Fordes, to William Horsecroft and others.

The Manor of Ludgraves extends into this parish, hut the great part of it is in the parish of Hadley. The manor or manor-farm of Ludgraves, probably derives its name from William Lyghtgrave, (133) who in the year 1423, conveyed to William Somercotes, Thomas Frowyke, and others, a messuage of one hundred and twenty acres of land, eighty of meadow, and eighty of wood, in Hadley. (131) John Marsh, in 1543, gave Ludgrave-Farm to the king, in exchange for other lands. (135) In 1553, King Edward VI. granted it to William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke (136) At the time of this grant the auditor reported, that the circumstance of its lying within the Chase, had been an (133) Lyson’s Env. vol. ii. from account of Hadley parish.

Norden (1S7) describes Ludgrave as “ a very faire bouse scytuate in a valley neere Enfeyld Chase,” but does not mention its owner. In 1609, Cornelius Fyshe and others, aliened this manor of Ludgraves, and twenty acres of land, forty of meadow, ninety of pasture, and ten of wood, in Hadley and Edmonton, to Sir Roger Wilbraham, and his heirs. (138> This estate is now called the Blue-house-farm, and was purchased by the late Admiral West, and descended to his son, Lieut. Col. West, whose widow is the present proprietor. PYMMES AND PLEASANTINES. Pvmmes, which Norden calls “ a proper little house of the Right Honorable Lord Burleigh, Lord High Treasurer of England,” took its name from William Pymme, who built it; the family were settled in Edmonton in the reign of Edward II.

He was of a weak constitution, and deformed in person, but his understanding compensated for his bodily defect, and it was greatly improved and exalted by a most liberal education. His father took pains to instil into him the knowledge necessary for a courtier and a statesman. He was at first assistant to Secretary Walshingham, and on the death of that great man became his successor. He was very instrumental in the destruction of the Earl of Essex, and cultivated the friendship of James King of Scots, by which means he became a favorite with that monarch on his accession to the English throne. In 1605 he was created Earl of Salisbury, and made knight of the garter. On the death of Lord Dorset in 1608 he was appointed High Treasurer, in which important office he behaved with a faithful regard to the interests of the people. The concern he had in bringing Sir Walter Raleigh to the scaffold is an eternal digrace to his memory, though he was in other respects the ablest and best minister of that period. He died in 1612.

(146) The windows in the chancel are the only relics of antiquity now remaining, and these would have shared the same fate, had not the persons who at that time had the management of the repairs, been restrained by the hand of authority. These windows retain their ancient character, and appear to be of the date of the latter end of the fourteenth century. The church in its present state has but few pretensions to architectural beauty, if we except the arches of the interior, which continue unaltered. It is a large and lofty structure consisting of a nave, chancel, and north aisle. The aisle is separated from the body of the church by a row of octangular pillars, with pointed arches springing from them, which support the roof. On the north side, and at the west end of the church, are galleries. The pulpit and reading desk are placed on the south side, and had handsome gold fringe and tassels upon its hangings; these were ripped off when the church was robbed of its plate in Dec. 1818. The communion table is enclosed with rails, and was covered with crimson velvet, the gold ornaments of which shared the same fate as those of the pulpit. The altar piece is formed of wainscot, painted and gilt, with figures on the sides representing Moses and Aaron. (146) The churchwardens a( this time; one was a bricklayer, and the other a carpenter. On the north side of the chancel is a door which opens into the vestry room. On the south side of the chancel was a small door for the accommodation of the vicarage, which was shut up some years since to give more room for seats ; and at the west end of the church is the baptistry or christening pew. At the west end of the church is a square embattled tower of stone, upwards of fifty feet high ; it is pierced for windows on each side: the assent to the battlements is by steps. There are eight bells (U7) besides the curfew or saint’s bell, the following inscription is round the great bell: “All: you: that: here: me: ring: ring: O: praise: the: Lord: your: King: Sam: Knight, 1734.” The ancient custom of ringing the church bell at eight o’clock in the evening, has existed in England (147) The words nolae and companiae given to bells used in churches, are said to have originated in the circumstance of church-bells being first invented by Faulinus, Bishop of Nola, in Campania, about the year 400. “ The people were first called together to prayers, at stated hours in the day, by the sound of a bell, by a decree of Pope Sabinian, the successor of St. Gregory.” See Faulkner's Fulham. “ Bells in the time of popery, were baptized, anointed, ‘ Oleo Chrismatis,’ exorcised, and blessed by the Bishop; these and other ceremonies ended, it was believed that they had the power to drive the devil out of the air, calm storms and tempests, make fair weather, extinguish sudden fires, and raise the dead.” See fVeever's Fun. Mon. p. 118, Lond. 1767. The dislike of spirits to bells is thus mentioned in the Golden Legend by Wynken de Worde ; “It is said the evil spirytes, that ben in the regon of thayre, doubte moche when they here the belles rongen ; and this is the cause why the belles ben rongen when it thondreth, and whan gretc tempests and outrages of whether happen ; to the elide, that the fiends and wyched spirytes should be abashed, and flee, and cease of the movyngc of tempestc.” ever since the time of the Conqueror, who made a law enforced by severe penalties, that at the ringing of the curfew bell, (14S) all companies should immediately disperse, put out their lights, cover and rake out their fires, and retire to bed. This obligation was abolished by Henry I. but the practice of ringing the curfew has continued in many places to this day, although its history, and the reason which induced the Conqueror to establish it, are to many persons entirely unknown. There is an excellent organ of wainscot, varnished, it was given to the parish by William Spragg, Esq. about the year 1772, and is erected in front of the west gallery. The organist is appointed by the parishioners in vestry, and has an annual salary of £42. per annum. The communion plate consisted of one silver dish, chalice and salver, (gilt); two silver flagons, (marked Edmonton); two silver salvers, (marked the gift of Sarah Marsh); a small silver salver, (marked D. H.) and another without any mark. But in Nov. 1818, the church was broken open and robbed of all the communion plate, together with the gold fringe and tassels from off the curtains, and the furniture of the pulpit. (148) The word curfew is derived from the French couvre, to cover, and feu, fire. , It has been disputed by antiquaries whether or not this custom is a proof of the slavery in which William held the conquered English. M. Voltaire says, “ that the law, farfrom being tyrannical, was only an ancient police established in all towns of the north, and which has been long preserved in the convents.” He adds this reason for it, “that the houses were all built of wood, and the fear of fire was one of the most important objects of general police."

In 1684 he succeeded to the title of Earl of Devonshire and about the same time was fined i?30,000, and imprisoned in the King’s Bench for assaulting Colonel Culpepper in the presence chamber. He gave bond for the payment of the fine, which, however he saved by the arrival of the Prince of Orange. In 1689, he was made a privy counsellor, and at the coronation he served as Lord High Steward. In 1694 he was created Duke of Devonshire, and during the king’s absence was always one of the regency, after the death of the queen. He died in 1707.

The rectory of Edmonton was at a very early period appropriated to the monks of Hurley, on whom Gal- frey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, (founder of the Abbey of Walden in Essex, in the year 1136 (1G5) settled an annual pension of one hundred shillings in lieu of tithes of Edmonton and Enfield, (16R) which (165) Dug dale's Monast. vol. i. p. 459. (166) Dugdale's Baronage, vol. i. p. 200. he gave to that monastery, and which, after some time, was appropriated to the same ; the patronage of which continued in the abbot of that religious house until its suppression in the reign of Henry VIII. By the chronicle of the abbey of Walden, in the British Museum, Galfrey, the second earl, confirmed ail his father’s grants, but took away a large and excellent field, adjoining the parish church at Edmonton, and added it to his own demesne. (167) After the dissolution of the monasteries, Henry VIII. in the year 1538, granted the rectory and advowson impropriate to Thomas Lord Audley, (168) >vho surren- (167) Of this Earl, Dugdale in his Baronage, states, “ That coming frequently to the abbey of Walden, (founded by his father,) he advised the prior to be content with a small church and little building ; which advice was thought to proceed from the insinuation of the Lady Ro- hesia, his mother, who having taken to her second husband, Pain de Beauchamp, and joined with him in the foundation of the priory of Chicksand, in the county of Bedf. of the Gilbertine order, did endeavour by all her power, to alienate the affection of her sons and other friends from the monks of Walden ; to the end she might incline them to be benefactors to Chicksand.” “ Howbeit, that notwithstanding these dissuasions, at the earnest request of the monks of Walden, he confirmed to them whatsoever his father, their founder, had formerly given them ; but that for the enlargement of his own demesne, he did unjustly take away from the parochial church of Edelmetone, a large and fruitful field, which was part of the glebe appertaining thereto.” See the Cottin. MSS. Brit. Mus. Vespasian, E. vi. 6. (168) Pat. 30, Henry VIII. pt. 5, May 14, Grant of the Monastery of Walden. Thomas Lord Audley, Lord Chancellor of England, was born of a noble family in Essex, after receiving a university education, he entered into the Inner Temple, and became learned in the law. In 1529, he was chosen speaker of the parliament, in which capacity he was very subservient to the king, who, on the resignation of Sir Thomas More, gave him the seals, and the site of the priory of Christ Church, with all the church plate and lands belonging to that tiered them into the hands of the king in 1544; (169) after which, in the year 1547, Edward VI. settled it by way of exchange on the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s (17°) and their successors for ever, in pure and perpetual alms, and of which they have ever since been, and still are, the proprietaries of the rectory and patrons of the vicarage. (m) In the year 1327, (17S) the rectory of Edmonton was rated at fifty marks, the Abbot of Walden’s portion was forty shillings; and the vicar’s salary one hundred shillings. The parsonage house was leased in 1641 to Edward Nowell, Esq. (173) in 1694 and 1701, to the family of Thorne; and in 1755, to Mrs. Lynch; and in 1777, to Mrs. Rawling. The lease has since that time passed through several hands, and is now the property of Richard Gardener, Esq. (m) The reserved rent is £20. and two good capons, or five shillings. In 1650, the glebe, with the parsonage house. He sat in judgment on his predecessor, Sir Thomas More, and on Bishop Fisher. Audley appears to have been a mere tool of Henry, and to have been as rapacious as any in the seizure of the church property. He died in 1544. He was a considerable benefactor to Magdalen College, Cambridge. Biog. Brit. (169) Record in the Augmentation Office. (170) Ibid, and Cart. Ant. D. & C. St. Paul’s. (171 Newcourt, p. 589, vol. i.

The Vicarage house, stands on the south side of the church, in the church-yard a little to the east, is a comfortable dwelling-, and in good repair. The vicar of Edmonton is entitled by endowment or prescription to the tithes of agistment of cattle, fed as well on the after pasture or otherwise, of all calves, lambs, colts, wool, pigs, milk, tame fowls, garden peas and beans, roots, and all manner of fruit and garden stuff, and all vicarial tithes and dues ; or some satifac- tion in lieu thereof, and likewise to easter offerings, (except such as are now within the Edmonton allotment of Enfield Chase). The vicarag-e is rated in the king’s books at £18. There are about twenty acres of glebe belonging to it, by virtue of the act of 40 Geo. III. 1800, for dividing and allotting the common lands, &c. in Edmonton parish. £. s. d.

Miller, dwelling in the Black Friars, MDCXLIII. The title page is followed by a long Epistle to the reader, stating the causes of the publication, abusing the hierarchy, and praising the parliament.

Peter Fanelour, (one of the founders of Guildhall Chapel, (191) who died in the year 1361, seised of various premises in Edmonton, (193) built a chapel adjoining- the parish church, in which he founded a chantry for two priests, to pray for his soul and the (190) Henry Owen, a learned divine of the church of England, was born at Tanygadar-Dolgelly, Merionethshire, 1716; was first educated at Ruthin school, and next at Jesus College, Oxford, where he took his degree of M.

(191) This chapel or college of our lady Mary Magdalen and of All Saints, was founded about the year 1299, by Peter Fanelour, Adam Francis, and Henry Frowicke; whose revenue was so augmented by King Richard II. and King Henry VI. and divers citizens, so that at the suppression it was endowed with sufficient maintenance for a custos, seven chaplains, three clerks, and choristers, at which time it was valued at ^£12. 18s. 9d. per annum.

The chantry was called after his name, and the parsonage was vested in the Vicar (193) of Edmonton, and his successors. It appears by the Chantry Roll at the Augmentation Office, that the chamber of London was to find a chantry priest for the church of Edmonton, and to allow him £13. 6s. 8d. per annum; to pay 13s. 4d. for a lamp; the like sum for an obit, and 6s. 8d. to the vicar. The same record adds, that the chantry priests had a house in Edmonton, valued at 13s. 4d. per annum ; another which they let at 10s. and a few acres of land. On the 15th of March, 1385, one John Holme, was instituted to this chantry, as void by the death of Thomas Byeston. (194) There is not the smallest vestige of this chapel now remaining.

[The rest of this inscription is covered with boards so that no more can be seen.] Norden, in his Speculum, says: “ There is a fable of one Peter Fabell that lyeth in this church, who is said to have beguiled the devill by policie for money; but the devill is deceit itself, and hardly deceived.” “ Belike (says Weever) he was some ingenious conceited gentleman who did use some fleightie tricks for his own disport. He lived and died in the reign of Henry VII. says the book of his merry pranks.” This book, which is mentioned by Weever, is a very scarce pamphlet, and is called “ The Life and Death of the Merry Devil of Edmonton, with the pleasant pranks of Smug the Smith, Sir John, and mine host of the George, about stealing the Venison.” On the title-page there is a wood cut, with the figure of a man upon a horse, with a hammer in his right hand, which is uplifted : upon which is written “ Smug pursued by the keepers for stealing of venison, got upon the white horse to escape his catching:” there are two other figures, supposed to be the keepers. This wood-cut is copied from the book, and may be considered a curious specimen of wood cutting-, of the early part of the sixteenth century. The pleasant pranks compose the greater part of the book, which informs us that “ Maistcr Peter Fabell, otherwise called the Merry Devil of Edmonton (for for the many excellent jeasts he did,) was a man of good descent: and a man, either for his gifts externall, or internail, inferior to few. For his person he was absolute. Nature had never showne the fulnesse of her skill more in any than in him: for the other, I meane his great learning (including many misteries) liee was as amply blest as any.” “ Very pleasant, kinde, and free-liarted was hee, to or with his familiars: very affable, and courteous to strangers, and very liberal, full of commisseration and pitie to the poore and needy: both abroad from his purse, and at home from his table. In his time very well knowne to him, and some time (in pastime) very familiar with him, were these men : Oliver Smug, Sir John the merry Parson, Banks the miller, and mine Host of the George: in whose companies many times for recreation, he would spend some hours. In Edmonton he was born, lived and died in the reigne of Henry the Seventh.” (19S) In the dispersed library of the late Mr. Win. Collins, “ I saw,” says Warton, “ a thin folio of two sheets in the black letter, containing a poem in the octave stanza, entitled, Fabyl’s Glioste, printed by John Rastal, in 1553.” This piece has no merit; but the subject throws some light on our early drama. Peter Fabell, whose apparition speaks in this poem, was called the ‘ Merrie Devil of Edmonton, near London.’” This story was worked up into a play, w hich was also called “ The Merry Devil of Edmonton ;” and has been (198) From a curious Tract in the black letter, 1631, in the possession of J. Perry, Esq. and which has been lately reprinted in the Roman letter, preserving the original character, with the wood cut on the title page. I falsely attributed to Shakespeare ; (199) but generally supposed to have been written by Michael Drayton. (20°) There are five editions of it, the first came out in 1608; the second in 1617 ; the third in 1626; the fourth in 1631; and the fifth in 1655. (901) The (199) One Kirkman, a bookseller, who, in the sixteenth century, made diligent inquiry after old plays, ascribed this play to Shakespeare. If a judgment may be formed of the author from internal evidence, it certainly will not be assigned to our great dramatic Bard, being in every respect unworthy his genius. There are many other circumstances from which it may be collected, that some other writer must take the merit or dishonour of the performance. Coxeter (in his Companion to the Playhouse,) says, that, in an old MS. of this play, he had seen it assigned to Michael Drayton: and Oldys, in his MS. notes to Langbaine, speaks to the same elfect. But some other author must yet be sought for; as from the entry in the books of the Stationers’ Company, in the year 1608, when it was first published, it appears that the initial letters of the author’s name were T. B. * It had been acted before that time, being mentioned in the Blacke Booke by T. M. 1604, “ Give him leave to see the Merry Devil of Edmonton; or, a Woman Killed with Kindness:,’ and that it was a favourite performance, may be concluded from the following lines in Ben Jonson’s prologue to the Devil is an Ass:— “ --- If you’ll come To see new plays, pray you afford us room, And shew this but the same face you have done Your dear delight—the Merry Devil of Edmonton !” (200) Michael Drayton, an English poet, born in Warwickshire, in 1568. He received his education at Oxford, but never took a degree. In 1593 he published a collection of pastorals, entitled. The Shepherd’s Garland, which was followed by his poems of the Barons’ Wars, and England’s Ileroical Epistles. In 1613 he published his Poly- Olbion ; or, a Description of England: to which Mr. Sheldon wrote notes. He died in 1631, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.— Biog. Brit. (201) This edition of 1655 is of little or no value from the number of errors it contains. * Probably Thomas Brewer—the initials T. B. being on the title- page of the Tract mentioned in note 198, and the last page is signed “ Tho. Brewer.” scene is laid at Edmonton and Enfield; and it was reprinted in the ancient British Di’ama by Miller, in 1810. Norden also mentions a very ancient tomb at Edmonton, with a fair marble, on which was a figure in brass of a man in armour. “ Here lyeth one whose name I cannot truly learne, his tombe is verie auncient, couered with a faire marble stone, his body figured on brasse, armed with a gorget of Mayle, under his foote a Lyon cou- chaunt, at his heline there seemeth to be figured a Lyon with his two fore pawes raised towardes his mouth, his hinder partes as it were mantuled, it is defaced and much obscured, his wife is there also intombed.” Weever says it was thought by some to have been one of the ancient family of Mandeville; by others, one of the Darcy family. But it is more probable that it was the tomb of Adam Francis, who purchased the manor of his nephew Sir Adam; the arms of Francis, impaling another coat, being among those copied from the tomb by Norden, viz. per bend sinister, a lion rampant counterchanged, being the arms of Francis impaling a chevron between three escallops, on a chief a lion passant. Norden also mentions, 1. a chevron between three crosses, a lion passant: probably the same coat as the last; the escallops or crosses, having been mistaken in one instance for the other. 2. An inescutcheon within an orle of martletts. 1 2 1 The following- verses were remaining- in Weever’s time:— “ Erth goyth upon erth, as mold upon mold, Erth goyth upon erth al glysterynge in gold; As thogh erth to erth ne’r turne shold, And yet must erth to erth soner than he wold.” The remains of this tomb may be seen in the south wall under the pulpit, but the inscription is altogether obliterated. Edmonton furnished the stage with another drama, called “ The Witch of Edmonton.” The scene was laid in the town and neighbourhood of Edmonton. This tragedy, which was founded upon the history of an unfortunate old woman, who was condemned and executed for witchcraft in the year 1621, was not published until 1658, when it appeared in quarto, with the following title, “ The Witch of Edmonton, a known true story; composed into a Tragi-comedy by divers well esteemed poets,” &c. Acted by the Prince’s servants often at the Cockpit, in Drury, once at Court with singular applause, &c. there is a curious -wood cut on the title-page, representing on the right an old woman, with the following words on a label from her mouth : “ Sanctabecetur nomen tuum ;” and over the head “ Mother Sawyer:” on the left a black dog, (S09) uttering these words, which are also on a label, “ Flo ! haue I found thee cursing?” below, the clown Cuddy. Banks in the water, crying out “ Help! help! I am drowned,” and his name over his head. The prologue began thus:— “ The town of Edmonton hath lent the Stage A Devil and a Witch, both in an age ; (202) This was a favourite disguise of the Devil in his intercourse with witches. See the Wonderful Discoverie of Witches in the county of Lancaster, 1613; Somers’ Tracts, 1810. To make comparison, it were uncivil, Between so even a pair, a Witch and Devil.” (203) MOTHER SAWYER, THE WITCH OF EDMONTON. Elizabeth Sawyer (so*) was a poor woman, that in the superstitious reign of James the First, probably incurred the displeasure of some more potent neighbour, (203) This is an allusion to the popular play of the Merry Devil of Edmonton, which was founded on the History of Peter Fabell, who died'ahoutjthe year 1495. (204) Tliis^ wood cut is from a rare print in the collection of W. Beckford, Esq. i 3 who, having- no just cause of complaint to alledge against her, accused her of witchcraft, (205) a crime that, of all others, was at this period most dreaded; very little time was allowed between the accusation, condemnation, and death of a suspected witch ; and if a voluntary confession was wanting, they never failed extorting a forced one, by tormenting the suspected person. The following title is prefixed to a quarto pamphlet, printed in London in the year 1621:— “ The Wonderful Discovery of Elizabeth Sawyer, a Witch, late of Edmonton, her Conviction, Condemnation, and Death ; together rvith the Relation of the Devil’s Access to her, and their Conference together: written by Henry Goodcole, Minister of the Word of God, and her continual visitor in the Goale of Neivgate.” (206) Edmonton was again made very familiar a few years ago by Cowper’s humorous story of “ John Gilpin.” TOMBS IN THE CHURCH YARD. In the church yard there are many monuments, in memory of the clergy and eminent persons; there was formerly a very curious epitaph upon a head (205) In the days of the sapient James I. witchcraft, by his own royal examples, was become the subject of many publications; and supposed witches were hunted down without mercy in every quarter of the kingdom.

(207) In the year 1615, Sir John Weld Knight, a man of considerable property, and ancestor of the Weld family, of Lulworth Castle, resided in a mansion house, called Arnolds, in the village of Southgate, and finding the distance from the parish church of Edmonton inconvenient to him, built for the accommodation of his own family, and the inhabitants of his immediate neighbourhood, a small chapel. This chapel was consecrated May the 24th, 1615, and the sentence sets forth the pious and religious devotion which induced Sir John Weld to build this chapel or oratory, near to to his mansion house, called Arnolds, in length from east to west forty-two feet, in breadth twenty feet, on his own land, at his own expense, and states that he furnished it with a communion table, font, and other necessaries, for the due performance of divine woi'ship. It is therefore set apart for religious uses, the administration of the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, and the solemnization of Marriage, as Avell as for divine pi’ayers to God to be poured forth, and the Word of God purely and sincerely to be preached and propounded. The family of Weld, and the future inhabitants of Arnolds may be hurried in the chapel, and so may the iidiabitants of South-street, and Bowes, with leave of the said Sir John Weld and his heirs, &c. The chapel was consecrated on the 22nd May, 1615, by Dr. John King, Bishop of London, by the name of (207) The account of this chapel is taken from old documents, &c. in the possession of the trustees of the chapel, and other sources. the Chapel of John Weld, Esq. and is established, “ saving- always the right and interest of the mother church, in the parish whereof the said chapel or oratory aforesaid is placed and situated, in all and singular tithes, oblations, wages, profits, privileges, rights, and emoluments whatsoever, ordinary and extraordinary to the said mother church of right or custom, in anywise due, or accustomed, or belonging, or appertaining, and there being reserved to the said John Weld, Esq. his heirs and assigns, free and full power, a fit priest from time to time, to nominate and appoint to the same chapel, for the performing and celebrating the divine offices aforesaid in the same chapel, by our episcopal authority, and of our successors from time to time, to be appointed and limited, the assent and consent of the vicar of the said mother church for the time being, and his successors, first being requested, and the oath of the said priest testified, all and which singular things, we so reserve by these presents.” “ The inhabitants are to receive the sacrament on Easter Day, at the mother church, and not in the chapel without license; and no baptism or marriage shall be solemnized without the assent and consent of the vicar of the mother church, and of the possessor of Arnolds.” Sir John Weld, and the inhabitants of South-street and Bowes, shall support a minister or curate, to serve at the said chapel, and shall give him at least £13. Cs. 8d. without any diminution of the dues to the vicar. (20S) (208) Newcourt’s Reperlorium, vol. i. p. 600. All burials in the chapel to pay the same dues as they would in the chancel of the mother church. (209) Sir John Weld died in 1623, and his will was proved in the same year, and by that will which was dated 23d of January, 1622, he directs that his body be buried in his late erected chapel, near unto his mansion house, called Arnolds, and after noticing £200. remaining in his hands, left by Sir Humphrey Weld, Knight, his father, and Johane Woolley, his grandmother, to be employed for the benefit of the children of his said grandmother, directed Frances Weld, his executrix, after his decease, to lay out that £200. and £350. (21°) more in the purchase of land that might produce £30. or more per annum, and to convey it to his son, and five other inhabitants of South-street, upon trust, to pay yearly, within two months after Michaelmas-day, twenty marks to the lineal descendants of Johane Woolley, if recommended by his cousin John Weld, Arthur Blackmore, and Edward Duckfield, and after their deaths, to such, not exceeding the number of six, who should make request at his house called Arnolds, or at the chapel, and make proof of their lineal descent from the Weld family, and also to pay twenty marks to the curate, and ten shillings a year to the sexton ; and also to give weekly for ever, upon every sabbath, at the chapel, to twelve poor widows, or other persons, 12 pence in bread, and the residue of the rent to be kept as a stock for the repair of the chapel, or the relief of the curate, as (209) Ibid. (210) See his epitaph in the chapel. cause should require; and if no application (9n) be made for the twenty marks allotted to the poor kindred of Sir John Weld, the said to be paid to the curate. He also bequeathed £20. towards the purchase of a building, or enlargement of a dwelling house in some place within the said Ward, for the curate. In the year 1625, Dame Frances Welde (widow and executrix of Sir John Weld) gave £20. for the better maintenance of the curate, and on the 14th day of December, 1625, purchased of Hewy Rastall, the estate at Orset, vesting it in Humphrey Weld, Esq. and live other inhabitants of Southgate, for £570. And in 1639, the said Dame Frances Weld, (as she is called in the old writings,) gave a plain silver cup to the use of the chapel, which still remains among the plate, and is engraved on the foot, “ The guift of the Lady Frances Weld, anno 1639.” The above named Dame Frances Weld, (to whom it is supposed the estate called Arnolds, and likewise the chapel, with the right of nominating a minister to it, had devolved) on the 20th of May, 1645, sold this part of her property to Sir William Acton, Bart, in these words, William Small and Thomas Ermeston joining in the conveyance. “We give and grant for us and our heirs, unto Sir William Acton, Baronet, and his heirs and assigns for ever, all our and every of our estate, right, title, interest, claim, and demand, of, in, and to all that chapel, chancel, seats, and burying place in the new erected chapel of Edmonton, near to the capital mes- (211) There lias been no claim of poor kindred for several years. suage, called Arnolds, which we have sold to the said Sir William Acton, his heirs and assigns for ever.” It appears by the deed enrolled in Chancery, that the estate called Arnold, including the chapel, was sold for £3600. In this conveyance, no mention is made of the right of presentation; the deed was submitted in the year 1722, to Dr. Henchman, a civilian, who was of opinion that the words would not convey the right of nominating a chaplain, unless it could be proved that such right belonged to the founder, of which he seemed to doubt. (212) John Weld, by will, bearing date the 12th of April, 1662, bequeathed sundry estates to trustees, for the benefit of the school almshouses, and poor of the parish of Edmonton, and left an annual gift for ever of £2. to the minister of Weld Chapel, which is now paid by the trustees, at Michaelmas in every year, the words are, “Also forty shillings of like lawful money of England, to the minister of the new chapel in Edmonton aforesaid, and to his successors yearly for ever, at the feast St. Michael the Archangel, and the (212) Quest. Whether Dame Frances Weld (supposing her right of nominating out of the question,) did not by the Deed, dated 20 Way, 1645, part with her right (o the said William Acton ? “ Ans. I am of opinion, that the right of nominating a chaplain will not pass, by the words in the deed: for I apprehend in this case, that such right did not of course belong to the founder or builder of the chapel, and therefore will not pass from him or his heirs, but by proper and express words mentioning the grant of such right.” (Signed) Hen. IIencuman, Drs. Com. Oct. 29, 1722. The original case and opinion were in the possession of William Tash, Esq. Annunciation of the blessed Virgin Mary; or within twenty-one days next after either of the aforesaid feasts, in equal portions.” Some of the Weld family are said to have given £300. to augment the stipend of the minister, for which the heirs of the family paid for some time £18. per annum as interest, till the time that Humphrey Weld, Esq. who was Lord Mayor of London, in failed, and £100. which was lodged in his hands was lost. The heirs of the Weld family continued to pay to the minister £12. per annum, till the year 1707, when -Weld, Esq. gave Dr. Holcomb notice that he had searched the writings of his estate, and not finding any part thereof charged with the payment of the said £12. per annum, should discontinue that payment till the claim could be established. On application to the Court of Chancery, and on a hearing, the Lord Chancellor Cowper, made an order to inspect the writings of the Weld family, which wei’e accordingly searched by the lawyers, and the Avills of the male and female branches of the family were also examined, but as no sufficient evidence could be brought forward, the matter was not brought forward to a second hearing, and the claim was abandoned. Of the trust committee by Dame Frances Weld; Humfrey Weld was the sole survivor, and under the direction of the commissioners for charitable uses, in the year 1704 he conveyed the trust estate to himself. James Munday Peter Ilonblon Thomas Jackson Robert Peters David Hicksteller William Arnold Robert Frampstone Christr. Stephinson Thomas Stringer John Wallis And it was directed by the Commissioners before named, that as often as any five of the trustees should be deceased, the survivors, or the major part of them should within six months after the decease of such trustees, elect five other trustees, to make up the number eleven. It appears that the trust estate at Orsett, amounting to 108 acres had been for many years prior to 1709 let at £40. per annum but afterwards by negligence of the feoffees or minister, produced only a rent of £26. until in 1709, Dr. Holcombe being then minister, a lease was granted for twenty-one years for £30. The number of inhabitants in the ward of South Street, who were desirous of attending divine service in Weld Chapel, being much increased, and the building incapable of accommodating them, the principal gentlemen of the place entered into a subscription on the 11th of July, 1715, by which they raised £311. 2s. 6d. and in pursuance of a licence granted by the Bishop of London, added an aisle forty feet long, and sixteen feet wide to the old chapel.

He died Avithout issue, but by will dated 12th of Nov. 1695 devised all liis estates in the county of Middlesex and elsewhere in England to William Whitmore. This William died leaving his estates to his eldest son Thomas. In 1722, the Rev. William Washbourn, as vicar, nominated Rev. James Kilner, M. A. to be Minister, ou the resignation of Samuel Holcombe, D. D. he having first applied to Dame Margaret Weld, widow, who by letter dated Luhvorth Castle the 10th of Dec. 1722, signified that she should not nominate a minister to the chapel. On the 14th April, 1732, the Bishop of London, on the application of their chaplain (Mr. Harrison) and the inhabitants, granted a faculty to pull down the chaplain’s dwelling house, and to enlarge the chapel by building on the site thereof, which house was K accordingly pulled down, and the chapel enlarged by the addition of a north aisle. In the year 1747, Thomas Whitmore (then Sir Thomas Whitmore, Knight of the Bath,) sold Arnolds including the chapel called Southgate Chapel and the chancel seats, burying place, and chapel yard thereto belonging, and the right title and interest of the said Thomas Whitmore, in and to the gift, disposition, patronage, and right of nomination of and to the chapel aforesaid with the appurtenances for £5229. to James Colebrook, Esq. By the will of James Colebrook, Esq. (in 1752) the estate and chapel fell to his son George, who in the year 1762, (then Sir George Colebrook, Bart.) sold Arnolds for £10,302. 5s. to Abraham Hume, Esq. expressly reserving to himself all his right and interest in the chapel, and the patronage of it. In 1774, the trustees of Sir George Colebrook, sold to the Rev. Henry Shepherd, the nomination, patronage, and free disposition of, in, and to the chapel or chapelry at Southgate, and also the said chapel, chancel, seats, burial place, chapel yard, hereditaments, and premises for £525. The Rev. Henry Shepherd in 1784, sold the chapel, and its rights to the Rev. William Barclay for £1000. (Thomas Harding was appointed clerk by Mr. Barclay); (313) and in 1786, the Rev. William Barclay, sold it to Robert Winbolt of Enfield, attorney, for £1175. All that piece or parcel of ground whereon the chapel called or known by the name of Southgate (213) This Mr. Barclay was the proprietor of a popular medicine, called the Anlibilious Pill. He died at Lambeth in 1810, and was buried at Edmonton. Chapel is erected and standing’, situate and being- in the parish of Edmonton, and county of Middlesex, containing- by estimation one rood or thereabout, be the same, more or less, being- part or parcel of a certain piece or parcel of ground, heretofore called the Warren, and also all that the said chapel, called Southgate Chapel, together with the chancel, seats, pews, burying place and chapel yard thereunto belonging, or any wise belonging, and also the free gift, disposition, patronage, and right of nomination of, in and to the said chapel, together with all erections, buildings, rooms, chambers, ways, paths, passages, lights, casements, waters, water-courses, gifts, donations, benefactions, dues, fees, perquisites, privileges, profits, commodities, advantages, emoluments, hereditaments, and appurtenances whatsoever to the said ground, chapel, chancel, seats, pews, burying place and chapel yard or any or either of them belonging or appertaining. Mr. Winbolt immediately after the purchase, added a codicil to his will, in which he mentions having presented his son the Rev. Thomas Winbolt, to the chapel, under certain agreements, and bequeathes the chapel subject to such agreements, to his wife Elizabeth, and her heirs and assigns. But it does not appear that Mr. Robert Winbolt ever gave any nomination in writing to his son. Mrs. Winbolt his widow, signed a nomination five or six years after his death in order that Mr. Thomas Winbolt might obtain a license from the bishop of London, Dr. Henry Owen, then Vicar of Edmonton entered a caveat against the granting such license, but being old and infirm did not folllow it up, and Mr. k 2 Winbolt continued to officiate, though without legai right to do so. On the 6th of April, 1802, the then surviving trustees, George Birch, John Walker, William Tash, and William Curtis, conveyed the trust estate to themselves; William CunlifFe Shawe, Thomas Lewis, Edward Vaux, Charles Cole, John Vickris Taylor, Francis Menet, and Walker Gray, Esqs. In the autumn of 1812, the patronage, of the Chapel was advertised for sale, and Messrs. Driver gave the particulars as under. Freehold farm at Orset.£300. Pew rents and collection from £200. to £300. £500. per Annum. Present incumbent 51 Price 5000 guineas. On the 25th of January, 1813, the chapel became vacant, by the death of the Rev. Thomas Winbolt. The Rev. Dawson Warren who succeeded Dr. Owen, as Vicar of Edmonton, 1795, was ignorant of the several particulars above recorded, but he had from common report, and from some information derived through his predecessors, entertained an opinion that Mr. Winbolt had no legal right to the chapel, and that the patronage belonged to the trustees; also that the chapel itself was more immediately under the jurisdiction of the incumbent whose rights had for many years been greatly encroached upon. During the life of the late Minister, he forbore the investigation of these things, preferring rather to submit to some loss in the dues upon baptisms, marriages, and burials of that part of the parish, than distress a respectable man who was straggling under great difficulties to support a very numerous family, but on the Sunday following the death of this gentleman; Mr. Warren took possession of the chapel, and gave notice of his doing so to the trustees, stating that he should hold it and provide for the duty till Mr. Winbolt’s successor should be legally appointed. At a meeting of the principal inhabitants of Southgate a short time after, to commence a subscription for Mr. Winbolt’s family, which was held at Mr. Shaw’s, Southgate House, Sir William Curtis and other trustees expressed their approbation and thanks. Mr. Tash, on the 12th of March, 1813, called at the vicarage, stated that he had sundry papers and documents of considerable importance to those who were interested in the chapel, and shewed to Mr. Warren the opinion he had caused to be taken of Mr. Miles Walker Hall, with a view of ascertaining his own powers and duties as trustee. Mr. Hall’s opinion was that the right of nomination belonged to the incumbent of the mother church. Mr. Warren the same day communicated this to Sir William Curtis. On the 17th of March, Mrs. Winbolt, by nomination under her hand and seal, appointed the Rev. George William Curtis to be minister of the chapel, and he, accompanied by Mr. Edward Wimbolt, as the agent of his mother, attended at the vicarage to ask the assent and consent of Mr. Warren as vicar, on the same day; this was refused on the ground that the disposal of the chapel belonged by law to Mr. Warren himself; they afterwards applied to the Bishop of London for a license which was refused. Sir William Curtis on the 20th of March, proposed K 3 that his nephew should be inducted, and should serve the chapel for nothing if the suit should be in Mr. Warren’s favour, which was declined. It was commonly reported that Sir William Curtis had purchased the patronage of the chapel for four thousand guineas of Mrs. Winbolt. On the I9th May, 1813, the vicar sent a circular notice to the trustees that he had decided to keep possession of the chapel as one of the members and appurtenances of the vicarage of Edmonton. In consequence of which, Mrs. Winbolt moved the Court of King’s Bench for a mandamus to compel Mr. Warren to admit, and the Bishop to license Mr. Curtis, and after various delays it was directed on the 7th of July, 1814, that an issue should be tried to decide whether Mrs. Winbolt bad on the 17th of March, 1813, a right to nominate and appoint a curate to Weld Chapel, and every preparation was made for the trial of the issue, but it was not brought to a hearing; for on the 1st of March, 1815, Mr. Warren received the following letter from Mrs. Winbolt, renouncing her claim to the chapel. No. 4, Copthall Buildings, March 1, 1815. Sir, In compliance of the advice of my solicitor, Mr. Wadeson, I hereby acquaint you, that I have abandoned this suit, and give up all my pretensions to the right of nominating a clergyman to officiate in the Southgate Chapel. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, E. Winbolt. To the Rev. Mr. Warren, Edmonton. OF THE ESTATE AT ORSETT. Description of lands in the Deed of Trust. Estimation A. r. p.

Henry Smith, of the City of London, by will, August 11, 1606, bequeaths as follows :— (219) There is no original deed, but an abstract of it is in the old Vestry Minute Book, p. 15, and signed “ Vera Copia, Ben. Hare, Vestry Clerk.” (220) This is now a public house, and known by the sign of the Cock, at Houndsfield. “ My will and mind is, that Henry Smith, unto “ whom I have given my freehold land and copyhold “ at Edmonton, after my wife’s decease, shall pay out “ of the freehold land, (221) for ever, forty shillings a “ year for freeing the scholars of so many poor boys “as the justices and churchwardens, with the over- “ seers of the poor, shall agree for with the school- “ master, and to be paid yearly to the schoolmaster by “ the appointment of the justices, until it please God “ some others to add so much more to it to make the “ school wholly free; then my mind is, that the said “ forty shillings a year shall continue for ever out of “ the said lands to the free school.” John Wilde, of Barking, in Essex, Gentleman, by will, bearing date October 5th, 1614, bequeaths as follows :— “ Also I give to the use of the poore of Edlemeton “ aforesaid, for ever, one tenement, (222) being in Edle- “ meton aforesaid, now in the tenure of William Peaze, “ to be paid by ten shillings quarterly, in two-penny “ loaves of bread on the first Sondaie after everie “ quarter daie out of the rent of the said tenement.” (221) These premises consist of three tenements in Silver-street, Edmonton, and an allotment in lieu of five acres of arable land, which are now the property of Robert Ray, Esq. and in the occupation of Scott, Atkins, and Angel, (222) These premise* are situated in Fore-street, Edmonton, and are now the property of Mrs. Teshmaker ; and in the occupation of Boulden, a carpenter. OF LATYMER’S CHARITY. Edward Latymer, late of London, Gentleman, by Indenture of Bargain and Sale, dated March 20, 1624, and 22d of King James I. conveys unto Sir Hugh Middleton, Bart, and other trustees therein-named. No. 1.—All that messuage or tenement in the occu-. pation of Edward Knott, in Edmonton, aforesaid. No. 2.—All that close of arable land, meadow, or pasture, in Hammersmith, in the parish of Fulham, in the occupation of Thomas or William Earsby, called Swann Leas. No. 3.—And also all that cottage or tenement, with the lands thereunto belonging, in Hammersmith aforesaid, in the occupation of- Leach. Upon trust, that they, or the greater number of them, shall according to the last will of the said Edward Latymer, dated March 16, 1624, within six months after the decease of the said Edward Latymer, chuse eight poor boys inhabiting within the town of Edmonton, between the age of twelve and seven years, and shall provide for each of them a doublet, and pair of breeches of frize, or leather lined with linen, a shirt, a pair of woollen stockings, and a pair of shoes, yearly, on the 1st of November; and also for each of the said boys, a doublet, and pair of breeches of coarse canvas lined, a shirt, a pair of woollen stockings, and a pair of shoes, yearly, on the feast of Ascension. On the left sleeve of the said doublets shall be set a red cross of cloth, which is to be the Latymer’s cross, and and such poor boys shall be called “ Latymer’s Poor Alms Boys.” The said trustees shall put the said boys to some petty school to learn to read English, till they attain the age of thirteen years, or die or depart from the said town, thereby to keep them from idle and vagrant courses; also to instruct them in some part of God’s true religion. The trustees, from time to time to be appointed pursuant to the will, to continue the same course unto the poor boys of that town, in every part as is before declared, unto the end of the world. On July 13, 1739, the trustees of this charity had clothed and taught, with the charity funds, twenty poor boys, and had then a surplus of money in their hands’; with this they purchased the present school house and premises, containing one acre and seventeen perches, and also the workhouse and garden. Mrs. Ann Wyatt, of Somerset Buildings, Hackney Road, in the county of Middlesex, widow of John Wyatt, of Dog Row, Mile End Road, and formerly wife of Daniel Willis, of Edmonton, by will, bearing date July 31, 1811, left £500. five per cent. Navy Annuities, to build a school room to the Boys’ Charity School belonging to the said parish of Edmonton, upon such around as the trustees and her executors should agree upon ; such school room to be for ever thereafter used as a school room to the said charity school, and to be held and enjoyed as part thereof:—And to keep the said school room in repair, she bequeathed to the vicar of the parish, for the time being, £100. five per cent. Navy Annuities, upon trust, to apply the dividends thereof to the said repairs. L The school room was accordingly built as it now stands, and the £100. fire per cent. Navy Annuities stands in the name of the Rev. D. Warren, vicar. On the 26th of February, 1810, the then trustees, in consideration of the surrender of a former lease at the rent of £14. per annum, of which five years and a quarter were unexpired, granted a new lease of all that messuage, or inn, barn, stables, yard, garden, orchard, brewhouse, out-houses, and appurtenances, formerly called the Blue Bell, or Old Bell, but now the Angel Inn, Edmonton, to Mr. Thomas Whittington, for the term of forty years from Christmas, 1809, at the rent of £50. per annum, clear of land tax. The tenant to lay out £500. within three years in improving the premises, to keep them in repair, and to insure in £1000. These premises are the same as are distinguished by No. 1, in the description taken from the will, and are now in the occupation of Mr. Wittington. And on the 8th of April, 1818, the then trustees, in consideration of the surrender of a former lease at the rent of £49. per annum, of which two years were unexpired, granted a new lease of all those three, heretofore two messuages, with yard, stables, outhouses, &c. with one acre of garden ground (one of which messuages is the Bell and Anchor public house in Hammersmith) to Mrs. Mary Barnes, widow, for the term of twenty-one years from March 25, 1817, at the rent of £70. fi 'ee of taxes. The tenant to lay out £300. within one year, to keep up land-marks, to keep the premises in repair, and to insure in £1000. These premises are part of No. 2, and are now in the occupation of Mr. Moss, who is married to Mrs. Barnes. On the 17th of October, 1723, the then trustees leased to William Haynes and John Hux, that half acre of garden ground in Hammersmith, abutting on Brook Green south, on a lease, from Michaelmas 1723, for ninety-nine years, at £3. per annum, clear of taxes. On this ground, which is part of No. 2, two houses ' have been built, which are now in the occupation of Mrs. Mary Woodward, widow, and of Isaac Woodward, Esq. Thirty-eight poles of land, part of the old Hyde Field, abutting north on the workhouse, and east on land allotted to J. Wild’s charity, are let to Mr. Edward Tuck, tenant at will, for the yearly rent of twelve shillings and sixpence. The workhouse, which was originally purchased with the savings of Latymer’s charity, is retained by the parish on the ground of sixty years uninterrupted possession ; and it is supposed, though no evidence has been adduced to shew it, that they contributed to the original purchase. As that part of the workhouse which consists of the committee room, entrance room and shed were, as appeared by the clearest evidence, built in the year 1781 on part of the school-house premises, and apiece of the garden of similar width, as also the road which now leads up to the present door of the workhouse, taken from the same premises, the trustees considered it their duty, about four years since, to claim some compensation; this claim was afterwards settled by arbitration, and a rent of £25. per annum is paid by the parish, who must be considered tenants at will. On the 28th of September, 1759, the then trustees, in consideration of the surrender of a former lease l 2 granted to one Peter Gevvaise, granted a new lease to Henry Moylen, of Westminster, butcher, of all that messuage or tenement, yard, and appurtenances, together with two acres of grden ground, formerly in the occupation of Peter Gervaise, and used by him as a vineyard, situate in Hammersmith, Middlesex, abutting south on the King’s highway, north on lands of Mr. Lewis, east on lands of Mr. Myers, and west on lands of Edmonton parish; and also all that messuage or tenement, yard, and appurtenances, in Hammersmith aforesaid, together with four other messuages thereto adjoining; and also half an acre of garden gi’ound adjoining thereto, south on the king’s highway; and also two other acres of garden ground lying’ near unto the said half acre, being in two pieces; one called Long Munnell Acre, and the other acre thereof abuts upon the south on the said Long Munnell, east on land of Lewis Hyslop ; and also those two acres of garden ground abutting west upon the footpath leading from the king’s highway to Brook Green, north upon the said acre called Long Munnell, east upon the lands of the said Lewis Hyslop, and south on the aforesaid half acre. All the before-mentioned, late in the occupation of Thomas Siddall, then of John Warren and Richard Bagley, gardeners, for the term of sixty-one years from Lady Day last, at a rent of £25. per annum; to keep up landmarks, and to keep premises in repair. Henry Moylen, by M7ill, dated May 30, 1763, gave his leasehold property, at Hammersmith, to his daughter, Catharine Fagan. The above premises are in the hands of several tenants The first parcel (part of No. 2) is occupied by Mr. James Lee, successor to Lee and Kennedy the eminent nurserymen, who built a good house upon it: Mr. Lee holds also a lease from the trustees, as mentioned hereafter. The five small tenements (now four, part of No. 3,) are tenanted by-Wiggins,- Roles,-Taylor, and-- Stone ; the half acre and some of the adjoining ground, part also of No. 3, by Mr. Howell, a gardener, who receives four shillings and sixpence per annum from the trustees of the turnpike roads for land taken to widen the road ; and the rest of the ground, described in the will under No. 3, is in the occupation of James Harting, Esq. who lives in a house very near it, and receives from the trustees of the roads fourteen shillings and sixpence per annum, as compensation for land taken. The existing' lease to Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, dated June 23, 1796, recites the above lease to Henry Moylen, and states, that on the 28th of February, 1777, Catharine Fagan by lease had let to Lee and Kennedy, all that messuage or tenement, now two messuages or tenements, and the yard and appurtenances, with two acres of garden ground, then in the occupation of Kennedy and Lee, in Hammersmith, which abuts south on the king’s highway, north on lands of Mr. Lewis, east on lands of Mr. Miles, and west on lands of Edmonton parish ; and also that piece of ground then in the occupation of Kennedy and Lee, on the north side of the road leading from London to Brentford, and fronting the said road, and adjoining Hammersmith turnpike, containing two acres, called Anchor Field, from Christmas last, for forty-one years, at £60. per annum. The lease likewise recites, that on September the 4th, 1779, the then trustees had granted to Ken- l 3 nedy and Lee, all that piece of nursery ground, containing two acres, adjoining south on the high road, west on the Bell and Anchor, and other the garden and premises let on lease to Charles Johnson, belonging to Edmonton parish, north on lands of Kennedy and Lee, called Swan’s Field, east on the nursery ground, &c. belonging to Edmonton parish, and let to Moylen, for forty years and a half, at £10. per annum. June 23, 1796, the then trustees leased to Messrs. Kennedy and Lee, the above premises, describing the three parcels seperately, from April 5, 1S20, for thirty- seven years, at the rent, for the first twenty-four years from 1796, of £10. in addition to the former rent, and at the rent of £80. per annum after the 5th of April, 1820, during the continuance of the term, which is, therefore, in the whole, sixty-one years. These premises (which are erroneously described in the lease there being but four acres), are now in the occupation of Mr. James Lee, nurseryman. The tenant to lay out £1000. in building, to keep premises in repair, and to keep up landmarks. The Legacies of Thomas Maule, Esq. £100. and of Mrs. Catharine Jackson, £100. were, in 1737, laid out with the addition of some savings from Latyiner’s charity, in purchasing copyhold lands of James Hare and John Andrews, which adjoin the lands bequeathed by Latymer, and are leased as follows:— On the 15th of July, 1772, the then trustees leased to James Brookes, of Brook Green, Hammersmith, all that piece or parcel, or pieces or parcels of land, called the Three Corner Cap, containing two acres, lying in a field near Brook Green, abutting south on the high road from London to Brentford, and west on lands let to H.

On the 2d of November, 1724, Thomas Hare, the then parish clerk, was appointed schoolmaster by the vestry, to teach and instruct twenty poor boys under Mr. Latymer’s gift, in writing, reading, and accounts, and to receive for his pains twenty shillings per annum for each boy. On the 8th of March, 1724-5, the vestry appointed the Rev. Mr. John Button to teach and instruct twenty poor boys, of this parish, in the grammar and Latin tongue, pursuant to the will of Thomas Styles, Esq. and to receive such salary as by the will or deed is appointed. On the 18th of March, 1727-8, the vestry appointed the Rev. W. Washbourne, vicar of the parish, to teach and instruct, or cause to be taught and instructed, twenty poor boys of this parish in the grammar and Latin tongue, pursuant to the will of Thomas Styles, Esq. and to receive such salary as by the will or deed of the said donor is appointed ; and that the said Mr. Washbourne do cause the said twenty poor boys to be taught reading, writing, and arithmetic. On the 1st of June, 1737, the vestry appointed Zachariah Hare to be schoolmaster, to teach the same number of boys of the several charities, as were lately taught by his late father, Thomas Hare. On the 5th of July, 1739, Mr. Cooke, the vicar, offered himself as a candidate for schoolmaster, who being asked if he would teach them himself, answered he would find one as his predecessor, Mr. Washbourne, had done : upon which Zachariah Hare was proposed. n 2 (All the charities were now blended, viz. Lattymer’s, Style’s, Wild’s and Smith’s). On the 21st of June, 1742, the vestry appointed the Rev. Mr. Cooke (vicar) schoolmaster to all the charities : Mr. Cooke appointed Mr. James Ware as his usher, at a salary of £20. per annum, with the use of the house wherein the school was kept. On the , the vestry appointed Mr. James Draper to be schoolmaster. On the 5th of April, 1781, the vestry appointed Mr. John Adams to be schoolmaster, who died Dec. 1801. On the th of January, 1802, the vestry appointed Mr. John Adams (his son) to be schoolmaster, who now holds that situation, together with the office of Vestry Clerk. OF THE GIRLS’ CHARITY SCHOOL. This charity school was first opened in the year 1778, where twelve poor girls were admitted ; by means of subscriptions, donations, and legacies, its usefulness was gradually extended, and in the year 1798, thirty children were partly clothed, and a few books given among them. In the year 1814, fifty scholars were supposed to be as many as the premises could accommodate, but on the adoption of the national system, in 1816, the number was increased to seventy- two, who are now entirely clothed and instructed in needle work, knitting, reading, writing, and the elements of arithmetic. The school-house is situated in Church-street, a plain building, with a stone figure of a girl in the dress of the charity; under which is the following inscription:— " A structure of Hope “ Founded in Faith “ On the basis of Charity. Mrs. Draper is the present mistress, and resides at the school-house, with an annual salary of £45. and an allowance of coals. The subscription of £1. Is. per ann. constitutes an annual governor, and £10. 10s. donation, constitutes a governor for life: a child is presented to the school by the governors in rotation, as vacancies occur. Twenty- two girls left the school during the last year, and the vacancies continue to be successively filled up. The children regularly attend divine service, and are publicly examined in the Catechism every year during Lent. Religious instruction, in strict conformity to the doctrines and discipline of the church of England, is the leading object of this institution. Its conductors, sensible that the success of all human teaching depends upon the divine blesssing, labour with the means entrusted to them ; they seek, by furnishing the children with constant cheerful em- ployment, to form them to habits of steady, quiet industry. The amount of the legacies and donations to this charity since the first establishment, in the year 1778, to the year 1818, is £3,382. The number of annual subscribers of £1. Is. each to December, 1818, amounted to seventy, and of governors for life, who have subscribed £\0. 10s. each, to fourteen. The funds of the charity are as follow, viz.— In the 4 per cent, standing in the names of the Rev. Dawson Warren, Vicar, John Blackburn, Isaac English and James Winwood. 1,600 0 0 In the 3 per cent, reduced, standing in the names of the Rev.

Miss Warren is treasurer.

The Society of Friends, called Quakers have a neat substantial meeting-house, at Winchmore Hill, built about twenty years since, capable of accommodating about 250 persons, and is fitted up in a plain, simple manner: this meeting-house stands on the site of one which was erected in the early rise of this sect. The congregation attached to it is small, not exceeding fifteen families, who live chiefly in the neighbourhood. Adjoining this meeting-house are comfortable accommodations for the use of the door-keeper. The burial-ground contains the remains of many who were eminent for virtue and piety among the Quakers, and among these may be noticed the cele- brated Dr. Fothergill,(230) whose grave, like the others, is unadorned by any sepulchral ornament. A meeting-house of Presbyterian Dissenters was established at Edmonton about the time of the revolution. It was here the celebrated Dr. Price(231) began his ministry, in 1744. The meeting-house is now occupied by the Independents. There is another meeting-house of modern date, belonging the dissenters of the same persuasion. On the (230) Dr. Fothergill was an eminent physician, born in 1712, at Can-end in Yorkshire, of respectable parents, who were Quakers. He served his apprenticeship to an apothecary, after which he went to Edinburgh, where, in 1736, he took his Doctor’s degree. In the same year he became pupil at St. Thomas’s Hospital, and in 1740 went abroad. On his return he settled in London, and in 1748, acquired great reputation. In 1754 he became a member of Edinburgh College of physicians, and in 1756, a fellow of the royal society. Dr. Fothergill was a man of the most amiable manners, a skilful physician, a great encourager of learning, and an excellent botanist. He died in 1780, Walkin's Biog. (231) Dr. Price, a dissenting minister and political writer, was born in Glamorganshire in 1723; he received his education at a private academy, after which he became minister to a congregation at Newington in Middlesex, from whence he removed to Hackney. He was also lecturer of the meeting-house in the Old Jewry. About 1764 he became a member of the Ro,yal Society, and obtained the degree of Doctor in Divinity from a Scotch University. At the commencement of the American war he distinguished himself by his zeal in behalf of democracy, and published his observation on liberty and civil government, for which he had the thanks of the City of London. He also wrote observations on the national debt, in which he endeavoured to prove that the kingdom was on the eve of bankruptcy. Soon after the breaking out of the French Revolution, Dr. Price preached an inflammatory discourse at the Old Jewry, in which he triumphed in such a manner on the misfortunes of the royal family of France, as called forth the keen animadversions of Mr. Burke. He died in 1791.—Europ. Mag. Gent.

OF SOUTHGATE SCHOOL. At the north end of the village of Southgate, in a lane leading towards Bett's Style, stands a capital school-room, built by John Walker, Esq. at the extremity of his park. This school, which contains about 140 boys, is conducted on the Lancasterian system, and like other schools on that plan, is open to the children of all religious denominations. It is a neat brick building, and being thatched, is an ornamental object to the grounds of its founder. It is a free-school, and supported solely by the benevolence of John Walker, Esq. who was one of the early patrons of the Lancasterian system of education. After the Merry Devil and the witch had passed away, the parish of Edmonton was again brought into notice by Cowper’s popular story of “ John Gilpin,” and which may not at this time be uninteresting to the lovers of g-enuine wit and humour. John Gilpin was a citizen Of credit and renown : A train-band captain eke was he Of famous London town. John Gilpin’s spouse said to her dear— ‘ Though wedded we have been ‘ These twice ten tedious years, yet we ‘ No holiday have seen. ‘ To-morrow is our wedding day, ‘ And we will then repair ‘ Unto the Bell*, at Edmonton, ‘ All in a chaise and pair. ‘ My sister and my sister’s child, ‘ Myself and children three, ‘ Will fill the chaise; so you must ride ‘ On horseback after we.’ He soon reply’d—‘ I do admire ‘ Of woman-kind but one; ‘ And you are she, my dearest dear, ‘ Therefore it shall be done. ‘ 1 am a linen-draper bold, ‘ As all the world does know; ‘ And my good friend the Callender, ‘ Will lend his horse to go.’ Quoth Mrs. Gilpin—‘ That’s well said ; ‘ And for that wine is dear, ‘ We will be furnished with our own, ‘ Which is so bright and clear.’ John Gilpin kiss’d his loving wife; O’erjoy’d was he to find, That, though on pleasure she was bent, She had a frugal mind. (232) Now the Angel Inn. The morning came, the chaise was brought, But yet was not allow’d To drive up to the door, lest all Should say that she was proud. So three doors off the chaise was staid, Where they did all get in, Six precious souls and all agog To dash through thick and thin. Smack went the whip, round went the wheels, Were never folks so glad : The stones did rattle underneath, As if Cheapside were mad. John Gilpin, at his horse’s side, Seiz’d fast the flowing mane, And up he gets in haste to ride, But soon came down again. For saddle-tree scarce reach’d had he, His journey to begin, When turning round his face he saw Three customers come in. So down he came, for loss of time, Although it griev’d him sore, Yet loss of pence, full Avell he knew, Would grieve him still much more. ’Twas long before the customers Were suited to their mind, When Betty scream’d into his ears— The wine is left behind !’ ‘ Good lack!’ quoth he; ‘ yet bring it me, ‘ My leather’n belt likewise, ‘ In which I bear my trusty sword ‘ When I do exercise.’ Now Mrs. Gilpin—careful soul; Had two stone bottles found, To hold the liquor which she lov’d,' And keep it safe and sound. Each bottle had two curling ears, Through which the belt he drew: He hung one bottle on each side, To make his balance true. Then over all, that he might be, Equipp’d from top to toe, His long red cloak, well brush’d and neat, He manfully did throw. Now see him mounted once again Upon his nimble steed, Full slowly pacing o’er the stones, With caution and good heed. But finding still a smoother road Beneath his well shod feet, The snorting beast began to trot, Which gall’d him in his seat. ‘ So! fair and softly,’ John did cry, But John he cry’d in vain ; The trot become a gallop soon In spite of curb or rein. So stooping down, as he needs must Who cannot sit upright, He grasp’d the mane with both his hands, And eke with all his might. Away went Gilpin, neck or nought, Away went hat and wig; He little dreamt when he set out, Of running such a rig. The horse, who never had before Been handled in this kind, Affrighted fled; and as he flew, Left all the world behind. The wind did blow, the cloak did fly, Like streamer long and gay ; Till loop and button failing both, At last it flew away. Then might all people well discern The bottles he had slung; A bottle swinging at each side, As has been said or sung-. The dogs did bark, the children scream’d, Up flew the windows all; And every soul cry’d out ‘Well done!’ As loud as he could bawl. Away went Gilpin—-who but he! His fame soon spread around, ‘He carries weight— he rides a race! ‘ ’Tis for a thousand pounds!’ And still as fast as he drew near, ’Twas wonderful to view, How in a trice the turnpike-men, Their gates wide open threw. And now as he went bowing down His reeking head full low, The bottles twain, behind his back, Were shattered at a blow. Down ran the wine into the road, Most pitious to be seen, And made his horse’s flanks to smoke, As he had basted been. But still he seem’d to carry weight, With leathern girdle brac’d ; For still the bottle necks were left Both dangling at his waist. Thus, all through merry Islington These gambols he did play, And till he came unto the Wash Of Edmonton so gay. And there he threw the wash about On both sides of the way ; Just like unto a trundling mop, Or a wild goose at play. At Edmonton his loving wife From the balcony spy’d Her tender husband, wondering much To see how he did ride. ‘ Stop, stop, John Gilpin ! here’s the house !' They all at once did cry; ‘ The dinner waits, and we are tir’d!’— Said Gilpin—‘ so am I!’ But ah! his horse was not a whit Inclin’d to tarry there, For why?—his owner had a house Full ten miles off, at Ware. So like an arrow swift he flew Shot by an archer strong-; So did he fly—which brings me to The middle of my song. Away went Gilpin, out of breath, And sore against his will, Till at his friend’s, the callenders, His horse at last stood still. The callender, surpriz’d to see His friend in such a trim, Laid down his pipe, flew to the gate, And thus accosted him— ‘ What news, what news?—the tidings tell; ‘ Make haste and tell me all! ‘ Say why bai’e-lieaded you are come, ‘ Or why you come at all?’ Now Gilpin had a pleasant wit, And lov’d a timely joke; And thus unto the callender, In merry strain he spoke— ‘ I came because your horse would come, * And if I well forbode, * My hat and wig' will soon be here; ‘ They are upon the road. The callender, right glad to find His friend in merry pin, Return’d him not a single word, But to the house went in. Whence strait he came with hat and wig, A wig that droop’d behind, A hat not much the worse for wear; Each comely in its kind. He held them up; and in his turn, Thus shew’d his ready wit— * My head is twice as big as your’s, ‘ They therefore needs must fit. 4 But let me scrape the dirt away ‘ That hangs about your face; ‘ And stop and eat—for well you may ‘ Be in a hungry case !’ Said John—‘It is my wedding-day; ‘ And folks would gape and stare, ‘ If wife should dine at Edmonton, ‘ And I should dine at Ware.’ Then, speaking to his horse, he said, * I am in haste to dine ; * ’Twas for your pleasure you came here, ‘ You shall go back for mine.’ O Ah ! luckless word and bootless boast. For which he paid full dear; For, while he spoke a braying- ass Did sing- most loud and clear ; Whereat his horse did snort, as if He heard a lion roar; And gallop’d off, with all his might As he had done before. Away went Gilpin—and away Went Gilpin’s hat and wig; He lost them sooner than at first: For why ?—They were too big. Now Gilpin’s wife when she had seen Her husband posting down Into the country far away, She pull’d out half-a-crown; And thus unto the youth she said That drove them to the Bell, ‘Th is shall be your’s, when you bring back ‘ My husband safe and well.’ The youth did ride and soon they met; He tried to stop John’s horse By seizing fast the flowing rein, But onlv made things worse: For not performing what he meant, And gladly would have done. He thereby frighted Gilpin’s horse, And made him faster run. Away went Gilpin—and away Went post-boy at his heels; The post-boy’s horse right glad to miss The lumber of the wheels. Six gentlemen upon the road, Thus seeing Gilpin fly, With post-boy scamp’ring in the rear, They rais’d the hue and cry, * Stop thief—stop thief!—a highwayman!’ Not one of them was mute; So they, and all that pass’d that way, Soon join’d in the pursuit. But all the turnpike gates again Flew open in short space : The men still thinking, as before, That Gilpin rode a race: And so he did and won it too. For he first got to town ; Nor stopp’d till where he first got up He did again get down. Now let us sing—4 Long live the King, 4 And Gilpin, long live he; 4 And when he next does ride abroad, 4 May I be there to see! William Cowper, the author of the foregoing- poem, was a very distinguished modern poet, descended from an eminent and highly respectable family ; was born at Berkhampstead, in Hertfordshire, 1731: his father. Dr. John Cowper, was rector of that parish, and nephew to Lord Chancellor Cowper. The infancy of Cowper was extremely delicate ; and his constitution at that early period discovered a tendency to diffidence, melancholy, and despair, which darkened, as he advanced in years, into periodical fits of the most deplorable depression. He received the first rudiments of education at Market Street, Hertfordshire, from whence he was removed to Westminster School: at Westminster School he acquired the classical knowledge and correctness of taste for which he is celebrated. At the age of eighteen he exchanged a public school for an attorney’s office: he resided three years in the house of a Mr. Chapman, to whom he was articled for that time : on quitting wdiom he entered of the Inner Temple, where he renew-ed an intimacy with his old school-fellows, Colman, Thornton, and Lloyd. From the age of twenty to thirty-three he was occupied in the study of the lawr; and from thirty-three to sixty, he spent his time in the country, where his reading wras an apology for his idleness. At the age of thirty-one he was nominated a clerk in the House of Lords; but an unconquerable timidity prevented him from taking it. He w as next appointed Clerk of the Journals, asituation which, it wras supposed, W'ould require no personal attendance; but an occasion occurring which rendered it necessary for the clerk to appear at the bar of the house, it had such an effect upon his nerves, that he was obliged to resign WILLIAM COWPER. Carmine nobilem HORACE. LONDON, PUBLISHED BY BALDWIN CRADOCK JOY. the place. A morbid melancholy seized him, and it was necessary to place him under the care of Dr. Cotton, who kept a lunatic asylum at St. Alban’s. By the care of that benevolent physician he gradually recovered his mental faculties; and from this time his ideas of religion wei'e changed to a system of comfort and serenity. In 1765 he settled at Huntingdon, where he formed an acquaintance with a clergyman of the name of Unwin, in w hose family he became an inmate. That gentleman was killed by a fall from his horse in 1767, on which Cowper and Mrs. Unwin retired from Huntingdon, and settled at Olney, in Buckinghamshire, where they contracted an intimacy with Mr. Newton, then curate of that parish, and well known as a popular preacher and Calvinistic writer. To a collection of Hymns, published by that gentleman, Cowper contributed sixty-eight, some of which are truly sublime. In 1782 appeared a volume of poems, which did not excite much attention; but the second volume, in 1785, stamped his reputation as a first-rate poet, particularly by that exquisite piece, “ The Task.” Lady Austin, for whom Cowper had a regard, being a great admirer of Milton, requested him to try his powers in blank verse; and on asking her for a subject, she said, “ Oh ! you can Avrite upon any ! let it be this sofa.” Thus originated one of the finest poems of our language. The same lady Avas also the occasion of the popular ballad of “ John Gilpin,” Avbich story she related to amuse Cowper in one of his gloomy moments, and it had such an affect upon him, that he turned it into verse. About the same time he engaged in translating Homer into Miltonic verse, and though the version is not so pleasing as that o 3 of Pope, it certainly exhibits a more faithful picture of the original. In 1786 he removed to Weston, in Northamptonshire, with Mrs. Unwin, whom he regarded as a mother; and who, the same year, had the misfortune to lose her only son. After the publication of his Homer, he was persuaded to undertake the Life of Milton, and the care of a complete edition of his poetical works. Mr. Hayley was engaged in a similar design, and this brought about an intimacy between them, which continued till Cowper’s death. In consequence of this connexion, and increased infirmities, Cowper abandoned this project. In 1794, His Majesty granted him a pension of £800. per annum, but the royal bounty yielded pleasure only to his friends, for he was now sunk into a state of complete dejection, from which he never fully emerged. In December 1796 Mrs. Unwin died ; but the condition of Cowper was such, that he seemed not to feel the loss of a person whom he had so long loved. He continued, however, occasionally to write, and also finished a revisal of his Homer, which has since been printed. This amiable man, and extraordinary genius, died at Dereham in Norfolk, April 2£th, 1800; and lies buried in the parish church, where a monument is erected to his memory by his affectionate friend and relation Lady Hesketh. The person and mind of Cowper seems to have been formed with equal kindness by nature, and it may be questioned, ifshe ever bestowed on any man, with a fonder prodigality, all the requisites to conciliate affection, and to inspire respect. He was beloved and revered by all who knew him, with a sort of idolatry. “ I may,” says Mr. Hayley, “ be suspected of speaking with fond partiality the unperceived ex- aggeration of friendship ; but the fear of such a censure shall not deter me from bearing’ my most deliberate testimony to the excellence of him whose memory I revere, and say, that as a man he made, of all men whom I have ever had opportunities to observe so minutely, the nearest approaches to moral perfection. Indeed a much more experienced judge of mankind, and Cowper’s associate in early life, Lord Thurlow, has expressed the same idea of his character; for being once requested to describe him, he replied, with that solemn air of dignified elocution, by which he was accustomed to give a very forcible effect to a few simple words, ‘ Cowper is truly a good man.’” (233) OF THE EDMONTON ALLOTMENT OF ENFIELD CHASE. (234) By the Act of Parliament 17th George III. chap. 17. intituled “ An Act for dividing the Chase of Enfield, in the County of Middlesex, and for other purposes therein mentioned.” Reciting, that the King was seized to himself, his heirs and successors, in fee-simple of the Chase of Enfield, lying within the parish of Enfield, in the County of Middlesex, being parcel of the estates and possessions of the Duchy of Lancaster, subject to such right of common and other rights, as the freeholders and copyholders of messuages, lands and tenements, situate and being within the several parishes of En- (233) See Hay ley’a Life of Cowper, and Gen. Biog.

And that the said Chase, in its present state, yielded very little profit or advantage, either to the King’s Majesty, or to the said freeholders and copyholders, or their tenants, in comparison of what it might do, if the same was divided and improved. And with a view to such division, an accurate survey, admeasurement, and plan of the said Chase, with a table of references thereto, have been lately made and taken, whereby it appeared, that the said Chase contained 8349 a. 1 R. 30 p. or thereabouts, including the several lodges and incroachments thereon. _ <14 As to the Allotment to Edmonton. It was (amongst other things) enacted, “ That all that portion or allotment of land within, and part of, and set out upon the said Chase, and described and distinguished on the said survey or plan thereof by words and green lines from the residue of the said Chase, as the Edmonton Allotment, containing 1231 A. 2 R. 6 p. abutting on the north and west parts thereof upon the King’s allotment; further north upon the Louth Lodge Farm, the tythe allotments and Enfield allotment, further west upon inclosures in the Parish of East Barnet on the south part thereof, upon the township or village of Southgate, and divers inclosures in the said parish of Edmonton ; and on the east part thereof upon Enfield Old Park, and upon the allotment hereinafter assigned to the owner of the said park, and all incroachments thereon, and also all timber trees, woods, and underwoods standing on the several parts of the said allotment hereinafter described,” (that is to say) on that part which lyeth south and south-west of Hounsden Gutter, and on those parts of the said allotment which abut westward on a visto, or line cut or staked out from Winchmore Hill gate to the Loutli Lodge inclosure; eastward on Enfield Old Park, and northward on the Enfield allotment, shall, from and after the passing of this act become, and the same shall from thenceforth be and remain vested in the churchwardens of the said parish of Edmonton for the time being, and their successors for ever, in trust for the sole benefit of the owners and proprietors of freehold and copyhold messuages, lands, ✓ and tenements within the said parislj of Edmonton, their heirs and assigns, and their lessees, tenants and undertenants for the time being, intitled to a right of common, or other rights within the said Chase, according to their several estates and interests therein.” sect. 102. As to making a Road by Enfield Old Park.
