as very generally elsewhere , to be baseless . There are two distin ct quarries in which the ar chaeo logist may di g for materials to construct the history of

a building . The first of these sources of information , h t f which I term the istoric source , is tha a forded by

actual written record ; and the other, which we may exami term the inductive method , is simply a careful o f o f h nation the structure , its style arc itecture and m o f materials , and a co parison with others known dates , enabling us with more or less certainty and exactitude (comparing large things with small) to classify and label

the specimen . The historic method , at first sight the

safest , has often led to extreme and even ludicrous errors while the inductive may be inadequate in a very : plain building , though always the safest where both

concur, perfect certainty is attained .

In cathedral churches , minsters , and abbeys , the docu of ments containing accounts their origin , foundation , an d h additions , alterations , general istory were most so carefully preserved amongst their muniments ; and ,

too , in large and important churches , especially those of hO e cities , we may reasonably p to find that some record has been preserved respecting them ; but in an ordinary

l vil age church , perhaps small in dimensions and plain in

design , and undistinguished by any special circumstance

from some thousand others , and situate in a locality

n . remote from any tow , we cannot expect such fortune So it happens here at Chiddi ngfold t hat the historic ff source quite fails of any positive evidence , and o ers

only a bare presumption . The sound o f the name Chiddingfold at once points

to a Saxon origin . We look first to Domesday Book, i which , consider ng its period and the circumstances

under which it was compiled , is the most extraordinary work of the kind that the world can produce : it is a wonderfully complete national assessment for rates

and taxes . Formed with that object , it specifies care ’ fu lly every knight s fee , and every acre of land , whether or o f vill an es arable pasture , the number and bondmen ,

the mills , the ploughs , and even the number of fat swine which the oak and beech forests were capable of main taining ; but this business - like work only incidentally m entions , if it mentions at all , the fact of there being a church ; and archaeologists will generally concede that the circumstance of no church being mentioned in Domesday Book affords little presumption against the

existence o f one at the time . Though that great work l mentions no church at Chiddingfold , the vi lage may,

not improbably , have had its humble place of worship . That on e existed in 1 2 9] is clear : about that year

l o f IV . was compi ed , by direction Pope Nicholas , a work , 1 which may be call ed an Ecclesiastical Rate -book ; it w mentions the church of Chiddingfold , ith a chapel of £20 (Haslemere) , producing an annual income (by no m eans a bad living , considering the comparative value o f o f money at that date) , and the rate taxation being a 2 £ . tithe, consequently amounted to In the year 1 3 63 a license was granted by the bishop (Edin don ) to the parishion ers and inhabitants of the of o f hamlet Haslemere , with the consent Thomas the l o f rector, and the parishioners of the vil age and burgh

f u s After all , then , the historic source a fords perhaps m ul as much , but no more , infor ation than we co d reason ably have expected . l ve t o u must now turn the ind ctive method , and inquir e of the building itself for information as to its o wn date and history : we cannot usually expect to or receive very positive precise answers , but it never l fai s to give some response to those who ask in earnest . n o t n If we do read sermons in stones , at least somethi g o f an archaeological interest may be extracted from them we find their evidence here at Chiddingfold not di s of hi ri cordant with that sto c record . One o f the most wonderful points connected with Gothic architecture i s the fact that no two buildings v e er exactly corresponded in any respect , although a similar gener al style prevailed an d changed from time to l time throughout the country , and (speaking genera ly) wherever pure Gothic architecture prevailed : and there is every reason to believe that the architects were all a o f su b ssociated in the bonds Freemasonry, then a st an ti ve gui ld .

Thus it happens from this agreement in diversity , that even in very plain buildings we s o frequently find some peculiarities . This church presents some feat ures which bespeak t attention . On entering it we are at once s ruck by the very remarkable height o f the pill ars in proportion 1 ll to the arches , and sti more in proportion to the other

. We dimensions of the church next observe , that the chancel - arch is n o t in the middle of the east end o f o n xt the nave , but the south side ; and ne we shall o f the remark the fact , that the united width nave and of aisles is within a fraction the length of the nave , and consequently the ground occupied by the n ave and aisles together is very nearly a square . To account for these peculiarities is a problem which can scarcely be solved o f to a perfect certainty , even if the walls be stripped or t of their plaster covering , even in the even their destruction ; and without these advantages on e must f o fer the best theory that presents itself. The earliest date apparent in any part o f the present — building for , as previously observed , there was probably an earlier structure existing in Saxon times , not unlikely of b —t formed the most availa le local material imber , o f d such as that the church still existing at Greenstea , in Essex , which has survived all contingencies from —the time o f Edward the Confessor to the present d ay is o f the style called Early English , and early in the or style , probably somewhere about , rather earlier than , 1 200 of the year , and consisted nave and aisles , chancel , and north chantry . The side walls of the chancel and o f chantry are perfect , and at the west end each aisle of there remains a window the same date , as also one in 1

n . n the north aisle , ear the west end The ave must as have been always , now , short in proportion to the

84 . 2 . chancel ; the latter is ft in long , and the nave 2 n r m 4 8 . 9 i . o 7 . ft , relatively about to To co pensate of for this shortness nave , the aisles were probably rather less narrow than they frequ ently were at that h period . There can be little doubt that the nave arc es were surmounted by a clerestory o f small Windows a feature by no means uncommon in churches of the period in the county of Su rrey : this would have been necessary in order to preserve the ordinary relative proportion of height in nave and chancel (the latter

he chancel arch , which was always of much larger span ; and a clerestory would have been needful

for the purpose of light , the aisle lancet - windows being little more than loop holes seve n inches wide in

the clear . Chiddingfold grew and

prospered , as is shown by h the fact , t at in the year

Section ou th A is e in d w 1 3 00 Of Ghen t q l W o . Simon , o f Bishop Sarum , who at owned the manor , obtained a Royal Charter, dated 7th 28th Ed Pontefract , on the June , - I. a s ward , establishing it a market town ,

with a weekly market on Thursdays , and o n eve an annual fair to be held the , of day, and morrow of the Feast the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary 1 8 O u (the th September) . Increasing p p - lation required more church room , and ff increasing prosperity a orded the means . The south aisle was widened so that its west window was no lon ger ~ in the centre ; the square - headed window in t the aisle , wi h net tracery, is not long an d w after this period, the other windo on on e the same side , and at the east end

i l - wi g n a pointed trefoil headed piscina , which , th its

wooden shelf, still remains almost perfect, was converted

into an aumbry or locker , by chiselling away the projecting part o f the basin and cutting a rabbet for a door ; and a new and more ornamental piscina u was s et a little f rther east . There is also a piscina near the east end of the south aisle , showing that that part of the building served as a chantry

chapel . In the exterior face o f the wall are two low seg - Ais m Extern a Recesses i n Sout e. ental arched recesses , which l h l we can only suppose were for the burial - places of the founders of the chantry : they 1 64 CHIDDINGFOLD CHURCH . are not unique in position they are very plain and on ly — moulded with a contrasted ogee a moulding which may be found occasionally during two centuries : they may

possibly be of this date , but are probably

later . The tide of prosperity flowed o n in

Chiddingfold , and the low nave was doomed to be replaced by a lighter and w on e . loftier The inhabitants , ith an

ambition very creditable in itself, desired to give their church a height and dignit y n o f it s exceedi g that neighbours , and to render it remarkable amongst others of the same limited dimensions of ground of u n plan . This part the church was roofed and the arcade pulled down and s o replaced by entirely new pillars , lofty , that if they had foliaged instead of moulded

caps , the idea that they were running to seed wo uld be irresistible the slightly four - cen tred form of the arches and the mouldin gs of the caps and bases of t he ill p ars , fix the date as in the latter part o f t he " V o z 1 ow z al fifteenth century .

The n ave and aisles were then covered by a new compass roof, which remains to this day . The doorway in the porch was probably the original r e - south doorway in the aisle , erected as it now stands , when the aisle wa s rebuilt : the u pper member seen in the section is carried alon g the front o f the porch as

- a string course .

The west tower shows no detail of any early date . i ri It was certa nly added after the Early Decorated Pe od , for the sill of the west window (of that date) has been cut down into a doorway into the tower . The form of the n tower buttresses , extending round the outer a gles of the tower , accords with an early style and there is no is o f staircase , which generally also an indication early date ; but this may have been omitted in consequence o f h f the scarcity of stone and t e ample supply o wood . There is no detail t o give any positive clue to the date ; o n e o f l but as the be ls , which would have been large v for a mere timber turret , e idently dates from the latter o f u part the fifteenth cent ry , we may fairly draw the inference that the tower was built at the time o f the rebuildi ng o f the nave arcade . o f old o ak of A large number benches exist , that sub st an tial and comfortable form in u se before miserable o f deal pews became customary ; but they are late date , probably the latter part o f the sixteenth century . I believe I have thus traced the history of the church s o as far practicable , and it only remains to call atten o f tion to some parts detail , which have been slightly f i o n adverted to . The fine range o lancet w ndows the south side of the chancel first attracts notice ; they

WHE a s hill now known War Coppice , in Caterham , is

usually considered , and I think with good reason ,

t o o f or . be the Site an intrenched camp , fort What a n o t su ffi rem ins , although very extensive , is , I think , cien tly well marked to leave little doubt as to its origin and uses .

On the north towards Caterham , we find a double

1 50 . vallum , extending for about yards The inner t 1 2 1 5 rampar is from to feet above the foss , which was b 6 o r 8 h pro ably feet wide , w ile the outer rampart o n 6 8 the inside is only to feet high , Sloping consider in m 12 or 1 4 on ably, some places as uch as feet the outside . d of or These ram parts escribe the segment a circular , elliptical , enclosure ; towards the west they seem to fall t o r t o in o , at least touch , the ancient road known as the ’ 1 t o . Pilgrim s Way , which shall have occasion to refer

From this point its course becomes somewhat obscure , b w b u t proba ly o ing to agricultural operations ; it may , t he I think , be traced in the line of steep bank , which is o n d shown the parish map , the itch having probably been filled in by throwing i n the seco n d or lower vallum and then it proceeded to the south , where its course has

- - been lost by cutting away the hill side fo r the chalk pit . The whole Of the so uth and south - east portions have b been lost in the same way y excavations for chalk , the u n vall m terminati g on the eastern extremity , at an abrupt s and teep precipice . n is Assuming that this suppositio tolerably accurate , 1 7 8 THE WAR PP R RR . CO ICE , CATE HAM , SU EY the original camp would have occupied a space o f from 2 0 2 5 o f to acres , which is about the usual quantity land enclosed in such fortresses . I have looked i n vai n for any distinct traces of a sally port ; probably it was o n that p art of the circ u mference which was destroyed in the south possibly it may have been in the line o f the road which is n o w used by the

- chalk diggers . N O traces of human habitation have , as I believe , ever

or . been Observed within near the camp If, as we sup it of r n u or pose , was B itish origi , we o ght to find in ,

- near it , flint arrow heads and weapons , as at Maiden i r C ssb u r Chan cton b u in . Bower , Herts , and y and y, Sussex Probably a more careful search may bring some Of these things to light . The reasons for concluding that this was a British o f fort may be Shortly stated . That it was a fort some kind is clear . The steep ramparts and the deep foss could not have been required for agricultural purposes .

It must have cost much labour to make them , and we must believe that the enclosure was completed towards h the west and sout , for otherwise the labour and expense o f constructing the portions which remai n would have been wasted . That it was not a Roman camp may be inferred from o f the entire absence any Objects Of Roman workmanship , on Of from its position the top a hill , remote from water , its and at that date without fuel , and from circular form —all which circumstances seem to militate against the i belief in ts Roman origin . was t That it a Bri ish fort seems highly probable , from its being found exactly in such a situ ation as the Britons are usually understood to have chose n ; and still more from the circumstance that it was placed immediately in ’ o f the line the Pilgrim s Way , which there can be little

- doubt was an ancient British track way , and that, too , just

. it at the most important strategical point ; viz , where d t wo was comman ed extensive valleys , and where it also intersected by the old Stane Street , which is believed k- wa 0 11 to have been another British trac y, and which A PP R R 1 9 THE W R R . 7 CO ICE , CATE HAM , SU EY

o f An stie our stood the fort Bury , recently visited by

- t d . o u r Socie y , and escribed by Mr Godwin Austen in

Proceedings . ’ The course o f the Pilgri m s Way has now been traced at broken intervals for a considerable distan ce ; but at for a this Spot , and some distance e st and west, its con

tin u it . y is well marked It passes immediately beneath , o r d o - rather win s r und , the north eastern extremity of the camp ; and the camp must then have completely commanded the access by this important road . It has been usual to consider this road merely as a passage -road for pil grims coming from Wincheste r and ’ the West of England to make their Ofierin gs at Beckot s L v e n - w . . e so shrine in Canterbury Cathedral Mr Go er , in u his memoir pon Titsey , has suggested , however , that it was an an cient British road . I have long held the same

- Opinion . I believe that it existed in pre Roman times , Vil in chest er and very possibly before London , , or Canter bury , were founded . It is particularly worthy of notice , that in several places t so in the course of his road ( far, at least, as it has been o r d determined in this county) , at convenient istances l o f from it , we meet with Roman vi las , or other traces m Roman occupation . These occur, in al ost a direct line w Hilb ur from est to east , at y, Farley Heath , Albury, -on - - Pe n dhill t Walton the Hill , Gatton , , and Ti sey , and I t believe in some o her places . o f ma The presence these remains , however , y be very well account-e d for without attributing the road to the i Romans . We know that t was not one of the great roads f described in the Itinerary o Antoninus . We have abundant reason , as I shall presently attempt to Show , to believe that before the Roman occupation , the Britons must have had a road in this direction . We know also the that Romans , like all other invaders , made what use they could Of existing roads ; and as this road wa s on o f t An dr ed throughout just the verge the grea fores t ,

’ Of which abounded with red deer , and other beasts chase , we can hardly doubt that the villas which were o n o r - — o f , near it , were hunting lodges places resort 1 80 WAR PP R THE CO ICE , CATERHAM , SU REY .

the o f for patricians that day , just as Scotch deer forests now are for o ur o wn . ’ In Dean Stanley s very interesting work , entitled , o f Historical Memorials Canterbury , the author has in o f . inserted a notice this road , by Mr Albert Way , t which he says , It is difficul to explain the pre of ference shown , as it would appear , by the pilgrims a fo r d l ter times a route which avoi ed the towns , villag es , u u for and more pop lo s districts , while a road the most part is found at no great distance pursuing its course ’ through them , parallel to that of the secluded Pilgrim s ” t Pat h . And he sugges s that this may have been owing to the feeling o f insecurity existing in times u i n o f of misrule and distr st , when , as the days s on o f o f Shamgar , the Anath , in the days Joel , the highways were unoccupied , and the travellers walked ” - b . through y ways I am unable to accept this view . The pilgrims whose course Chaucer has described in his beautiful poem certainly exhibited no preference for b y-ways and secluded roads nor is it likely that travel lers bound upon s o pious an errand as a pilgrimage to d or St . Thomas , could possibly be expose to violence

or . robbery in any town , village , in England

When this road was used by the pilgrims , no parallel road existed ; and it can hardly be said that even in ou r own days any road is to be found running due east and

. on west through the Weald valley Indeed , a Slight o f glance at the map , it will be evident that the course w this way , at this spot and as far as we kno it in this county , was as nearly as possible in a straight line from

Winchester to Canterbury . But however this may be , we o r may be quite certain that the road was made , not by , ’ for , the West country pilgrims , but long before Becket s an d murder , long before the Weald towns and villages an r had existence , and that its course was o iginally deter mined by geological conditions ; for , as we may regard it as certain that the pur suits and occupations of every people , and thus , to a certain extent , their character and n dispositio s , are influenced by the geological conditions o f u the co ntry which they inhabit ; so also , the same

1 82 WAR OPP RR THE C ICE , CATERHAM , SU EY . east to west and as this could not possibly be found in the forest , it was found , just as we find it in the ’ o n Pilgrim s Way , the verge of the forest ; and it is n worthy Of notice , that Colo el Lane Fox has lately de scribed a somewhat similar road running east and west o f the along the northern slope South Downs , about - f halfway down the hill Side . Portions o this ancient track - way I have lately seen in the hills north of

Folkstone . d In the map lately publishe by the Geological Society , and , indeed , in any geological map , the valley of the

Weald is Shown to consist Of certain clays , sands , and w i marls , which are well adapted for the gro th of th ck an d underwood large trees ; and thus , until a com ar ativ el p y very recent period , this district was covered by the dense forest alluded to in the Old chronicles ; o f t and the task cu ting a practicable road through this , b u t would at any time have been great , in those days The h - t h . e impossible c alk hills , however , which border n Weald o bo th sides present no such Obstacles . The ri ancient B tons found a road ready made , or rather l l o n cou d dispense with a road when trave ling the Short ,

or . elastic turf which covers the chalk wolds , downs h an d d u e The Romans coming after t em , , in time , the r o f pilg ims succeeding the Romans , availed themselves ” a star e the same advant ges , preferring , very naturally , , ” o r ambu la re su er a n ti u a s c i as rathe p g , to the labour and expense o f cutting a new road through a h t ick forest . I trust that this di gression may not be looked u pon as l m a together irrelevant . The camp co mands the road , and the road leads to and from the camp , and the history o f either can hardly fail to have some bearing u pon that o f the other . of an In investigating the history y ancient work , it is o f great importance to have regard to the n ame by which o r n as o f it is , was , formerly know , well as the names n l V b place s in the eighbo u rhood . e may e certain that a am o n e almost every loc l n e had , at time or other , some a n d - n ho w distinct well understood meaning .

h ever , t at the names by which this camp is known , do t o its not appear to me throw any light on origin , and w u o f u m i n history . The little ood so th the vall was ’ ’ /i sa Aubrey s time known as War Copy ce . I y in Aubrey s old time , because when I have asked some of the inha bitan t s of the neighbourhood about it , they hardly seemed to know it by that name ; and but for the inquiries of t m visitors and antiquaries , I believe hat this na e would

have become quite Obsolete . However that may be , it seems highly improbable that this name was intended i n or to designate th s place as havi g been a camp , the f 1 scene o any military operations . do not think it has ever been usual t o apply the epithet war to any or t field , place , as having been ei her historically , or tradi tio n all of o r t y, the site a siege battle , and s ill less is it likely that such a name Should be given to a little wood or coppice ; if given at all, it would be applied to the i n whole district . A war in a coppice is like a storm a

- butter boat . war So much for the word ; the second epithet , cop pice , seems to be equally inapplicable . Coppice is not

an Anglo Saxon word ; it is comparatively modern , - cou ia cou er derived from the Norman French p , from p , to o u t , because the underwood was cut , as it still is , at

stated times . B u t w war n o t r it may be asked , if the ord does refe to

The lands immediately adjoining to the west, and con tin u ou sl an d y with this wood , are now , have long been , known as Wa rwi ck Wold Far m and Warwick Wold o r

Down . They form part o f the same estate with the coppice ; and it seems probable that the C oppice also Warwi ck Co ice was originally known as pp , and that o r u d the word Warwick has been Shortened , corr pte , into

War . It is said that the hill has sometimes been known as ’ the Ca r din a l s Cap It is mentioned by that name i n ’ Manning and B1 ay S HistOIy of S ur1 ey b ut I have 1 84 WAR PP RR . THE CO ICE , CATERHAM , SU EY

met o f with no attempt to explain the meaning it, nor do t o I think that it is known the country people . It seems n o t at all unlikely that the name of the village in which the camp i s situate may have some reference to n a t r ha this work . May o t C e m have been originally Ca s ter ka m - o r ? , the dwelling place town near the Old castle I cei t ainly know o f no instance o f a contraction Of Ceas tcr o r Ca s ter Ca te r into ; but it is by no means improbable , u s o o n e 3 as it wo ld easily be formed , letter , , only being i . s n ot m erition e d omitted The place in Domesday, nor

o n e o r . either way other There are , however, many towns in England which take their names from their or — Caster -ton neighbourhood to Old castles camps , as , Cas tleton hes ter - or d as tle Acre & C C c . Nor , f , , is it any Objection to this hypothesis that the fortress was Of h l - an d British origin , w ile the name is Ang o Saxon , that the word Cea s ter is u sually found to designate a Roman W settlement or fOI t . hen a party Of Anglo Saxon squat o f h t ters took possession this district , t ey would adop a withOIit i i title from their own language , stopping to nqu re if or the fortress was o f Roman British construction . his . a The Rev Is ac Taylor , in late work , entitled t o Names and Places , Observes as Caterham , that it th ba ttl Ca e . No t may perhaps be referred to the Celtic , ’ withstanding the weight which this able writer s opinion u j stly carries with it, it seems to me that this derivation Ham u cannot be accepted . is beyond all q estion an An lo- S axon f g su fix , and it is extremely unusual to find o f it tacked on to a Celtic prefix . The names the several parishes in the immediate neighbourhood ar e all - an d o f purely Anglo Saxon , three these have the last

syllable in ham . Chelsham clearly derives its name from the bed o f o n C s el An lo- S a xon pebbles which it stands , y being the g d h s lehu r t r fo r Chels el C i s .

n b as in other matters , I thi k we may reasona ly conclude - that Caterham is a pure Anglo S axon word .

Upon the whole , then , it seems reasonable to conclude o r that this ruined fort , camp , was a British fort, stand o n - — ing an ancient British track way, that the names War Coppice and Cardinal ’ s Cap are trivial and mean in le s s Of g , and that Caterham is a name descriptive the f h proximity o t is village to the more ancient camp . 1 8 6 NOT ES ON THE MON U ME NTS

’ on each side of the kn ight s head . These were never winged , and therefore are not intended for angels . As m n e ffi ie s a y g have a similar arrangement , it is probable that they represent glorified spirits , thus attendant upon the deceased warrior . But the most remarkable part o f the whole monument is the figure of the Soldan at the feet , which tends to confirm my previously expressed Opinion o f a tradition brought from the East th e . at Crusades It is reclining in an easy posture , the head supported by the right arm , the left extended to the upraised left knee . The costume is excellent , quite a typical Oriental attire . It consists of a loose white tunic , of u loose trousers fastened at the knee , the same colo r , bare legs , and feet in black slippers . A white turban d with hood covers the head , reticulated in its fol s , red and white ; and he wears a red cloak, and hood lined with

. T n o r green here is nothing in this at all a omalous , which might not suit an Oriental at this day . But the m ost remarkable feature in this figure , as in the crest,

reen o f . is the g hue the flesh , and the red beard Had on e on e seen this only in the crest, might have assumed it to be intended for the colo u r o f death . But the living d ” attitude Of the Sol an dispels that notion , and we must seek for another solution . i n on It appears that Arabia , the borders of the Red

- o f . Sea , is a race half castes , called green men They n o t are a despised class , but are Often admitted to

Offices of trust . This suggests a solution to the question before us . In pursuing it , we find that in Arabic the “ ” for akthar fo r o f term green , , also serves a variety 1 h f v s ades o colour between white and black . We ha e t o i n a only , then , imagine that the v gue expressions of o f ideas received from the East the Saracens by pilgrims , ’ ’ the term green , as applied to their complexions , may Nor n o w have Obtained currency . let us forget , that we ” olive o f reen give the term , itself a shade g , to express the complexion of many Southern peoples o f Europe . me dise v al The artist is merely a literal interpreter , and

T RR RO H . OF S E O U C DIED 14 03 . w This tomb , according to the ill, must originally have o f stood at the head of that his father . I do not know when it was removed , but it was doubtless to make pews in its place ; and we must a scribe the injuries which the tomb has received to its removal . The quatrefoil panel w l ’ ling some hat resemb es that of his father s tomb , but fir it is very inferior in execution . It is composed o f e b o f u o n stone , and has a Sla P rbeck marble the top , into

&c . b which the brass figure , , has een inlaid . The brass

- is interesting , as showing the progress of plate armour , yet retaining some almost obsolete fashions , such as the gorget of mail . There is no mail appearing beneath the taces , but a fringe , which probably terminates the ’ leathern Shirt beneath . The inscription in Mr .

TOMB OF SIR REGINALD CORHAM AND LAD Y

IN CHANCEL .

This very fine monument is a large and lofty al tar o f fire st on e tomb , embattled , and the sides panelled with f Shields o arms and heraldic emblems . The arrangement o f these is extremely Simple ; those appertaining to the on his of t knight are side the monumen , those belonging hi s n her s o f to lady upo , each end the tomb having

Bar dolf. the arms impaled , Cobham and The heraldic o f device , which accompanies alternately each coat arms ’ o n t he not knight s side , is a lion rampant , but is an ’ animal having a wolf s head and body , with the hinder ’ feet webbed like a duck . The same is at the knight s f difle r s o f feet , and from any the crests that I recognize as ’ n those o f the Cobham family . That o the lady s Side is

a wivern , the same as at her feet , and belongs to the B ard olf u the family , being also introd ced at feet of her sister in the very fine monument o f alabaster in Denning t on h Church , Suffolk , and is , wit out doubt , by the same Lin field e ffi ie f hand as this at g . Very few g s o the date

are finer in execu tion th an these . The face o f the knight is l fo r t very remarkab e , but not beauty , and is cer ainly a o n o f portrait , account the character , and the individu ’ ality , it exhibits . The lady is in widow s attire , as is u sual in o n e who survived her h u sband ; her mantle f lf d . o . B ar o has the blazoning her paternal arms , viz is o f It extremely probable that , originally , the whole the effi ie s o f in g were coloured , as traces colour are visible m f n any places , but not su ficie tly clear to display the d m entire scheme . There are also in ications that so e

- metal work enriched part o f the figures . The knight o f probably had a collar roses and suns , the Yorkist h f r t e o . d evice , as studs fixing it remain It is also 1 5 or THE COBHAM FAMIL Y AT LINGFJ ELD . 9

her o f probable that the lady had a cordon to mantle , : ffi metal , perhaps brass there are holes in the e gy, for which cannot be understood , unless they were this purpose . - n There is a large table monume t of Purbeck marble , whose style of execution and design shows it to be of u the latter part o f the 1 5th cent ry . It never had any inscription , although there is a moulded chamfer all round the edge o f the table to receive a brass fillet . u t o f There is no do b whatever, from the style the work , and from its original position in the church , which was h on a line wit that of Sir Reginald , first Baron Cobham , o n an d the east, between the chancel north chapel , that it is the tomb of Sir Thomas Cobham and Anne his W w ife , erected by her after his death , hich took place in 14 71 t o , and in which she was interred , according the terms of her will quoted by Mr . Flower . The monument

- has received much ill usage , arising from the very u so pernicious c stom which often obtains , during the

t . repairs of a church , of removal to ano her position This t - took place abou twenty five years ago . Previously to n that , the tomb had been ope ed for the purpose of placing f o f in therein the co fin Sir John Burrow , whose tablet , the chancel , is remarkable for announcing the convivial f character of the deceased . At the time o the removal there were still a few bones left ; but it is probable the greater part o f those of the original owners were ” turned out to make room fo r the convivial Sir John . The removal of monuments from their original sites is very unjustifiable , yet nothing is , in these days , more frequently practised ; it ought in every way t o be dis cou r age d by arch aeologists ; injury being thereby done o f to them as works art , as well as to their historical value .

In the will of Joan Berkeley , Lady Cobham , there is a bequest of 1 00 shillings to John de Cobham of Det er chir c e h . This is omitted in the translation by Mr . Flower . ” of Deven schir This must mean John de Cobham , who 1 9 6 NOTES ON THE MONUMENTS

have a right to send two burgesses to Parliament . But whether the right of sending such burgesses is by grant

or prescription the homage knows not . But that burgesses have been very anciently sent appears by several records kept in the Records of the Tower o f

London . The right of election was always considered to be in b u r hold er s g resident in the borough . There was some 2 1 on f M dispute in James I . the election o Sir yles Fleet

It was com i on plained that some money had been g ven his behalf, and that he had threatened the town to procure the lady of the borough to withdraw a benevolence o f fourteen nobles if they chose him not . Dr . Harris , the rector , was com plained of for having read a letter from the lady o f the borough on behalf of Mr . Lovell in church , and that he had threatened those who would not support Mr . Lovell .

He was compelled to appear at the bar of the House , on o f confess his fault his knees , and ask pardon the n House . And o Sunday he had in the pulpit of the of hi s parish church , at the entrance sermon , to witness of his fault , desiring the love his neighbours , and pro 1 misin g reformation . f In the list o members appear few of much distinction . They were mostly chosen from the residents or from the neighbouring county families . We find the Evelyns , ff the Greshams , and the Haywards , at di erent times r f members for the borough . After the pu chase o the manor by Sir Robert Clayton , it became for some time f a pocket borough in the hands o that family . The late

Viscount Palmerston , in conjunction with Thomas Hyde

E s . . Villiers , q , were the two last members They were 1 831 elected in July , , and represented it till its dis hi 1 2 1 83 . 733 franc sement by the Reform Act in Until , the elections were held in an old house called the Hall , o f which a drawing is still preserved , and which was only pul led down in 1 834 ; at f that date they were moved by Sir William Clayton to the White Hart inn ; the nu mber o f electors had dwindled down to about ten o r of - twelve , although the attendance non electors was o f o f considerable , in consequence barrels beer being 2 n served in the street . Mr . Salmo (quoted by Manning) says that it was owing to the great interest o f the Earl o f so Warren that three places near as Bletchingley,

a Reig te , and Gatton returned members to Parliament ; dl but this explanation can har y be the correct one . It Of must be remembered that, as now the representation the country has migrated towards the great centres of of so for industry in the North England ; formerly , the d same reason , it was principally confine to the South . It may be doubted whether the being a representative u or boro gh was looked upon as an honour , whether it was n ot considered somewhat o f a burden from which many places would have been glad to have been relieved . o f The cost sending members to Parliament, and keeping h t em when there , was defrayed by the constituency ; and as Parliament followed the king, and was held in the dif feren t E n lan d their great towns of g , expensesfor travelling were sometimes considerable . We are informed that in o f 4 the Middle Ages a knight the shire received 3 . a h t e 2 s . day, and burgesses for boroughs a day, paid by n al special warrant under the Crow , sums equiv ent to about ten times as much in the present day . I should rather ascribe the circumstance to the extent 1 and of hi o f importance Bletc ngley, the existence the castle its and other principal houses , and proximity to London . A search made for me by a friend in the journals of the House o f Commons has thrown no further light on the f i Parliamentary History o Bletch ngley . two In bringing this account of Bletchingley to a close , r things occur forcibly to my mind . Fi st , how , in almost every parish in Surrey the hand of time has swept all o f l away relics the past , and that , if we would i lus of trate the former history any place in this county, it must be by a search into old deeds and records , not by old ap—pealing to living witnesses . Of all the mansions , and Bletchingley could at on e time boast of a large — n of number, there remai s but a portion the Gatehouse to the Old Manor House at Brewer Street . Secondly, how what were t hen called the middle class have become

BLETCHINGLEY CHURCH .

- B RA V LL LEV ESON G WER ES . F. S. A . Y G N I E O , Q ,

HERE is no mention Of a church in Domesday hi n T Book . The tradition that Bletc gley once pos sessed seven churches , points to its having been a place of greater importance formerly than now . It may —b perhaps be accounted for in this way , y including w Horne Church , hich until that place was constituted a ’ o f separate parish in Q ueen Anne s reign , was a Chapel

Ease to Bletchingley . The castle possibly had a chapel

h . attac ed to it There was a chapel at Ham , one at Dafero n s o r Safer on s Stan r ave , an oratory at g , and if we suppose that the Old Manor House had a chapel 1 u also , this would make p the number . The present d church , which is edicated to St . Mary, consists of a tower at the west end surmounted by a low steeple , a wi porch on the south Side th a chamber over , a nave with north and south aisles , north transept , chancel , south chancel, and a modern vestry against the north wall of the chancel . The earliest portions o f the church are the two first

o f . stages the tower, the tower arch , and the chancel

These are of about the same date , the chancel being a

- little later, and are very early thirteenth century work . 1 ft 3 . The tower measures outside east and west, by

2 7 . r est or a ft north and south . The ground during the 1 8 0 tion of the church in 7 was lowered three feet , and is it s now reduced to original level , as may be seen by the

basement moulding out side . The early par t of the tower only reaches as far as the second story, the remainder was built after it was struck by lightning in November , 1 6 6 0 . The beams are singularly fine and massive . The

Old tower , according to Aubrey , had a high spire more l t 4 0 ft . han above the battlements , with five great bel s , the tenor weighing weight . It was computed that 2 00 o f there were loads timber in the spire . Its destruction is thus alluded to in the Register The St epell was o f 1 6 6 burned the xvii . day November 0 .

south wall deserves notice ; it communicates by a

windin og stone staircase with another door above , exactly similar o u t on in character , and leads to a rood loft , which probably divided the south aisle from the s o u tli

- chancel , and communicated with the rood loft proper . That there was a rood - loft in the church we kn ow from ’ w u the following entry in the church ardens acco nts , —“ “ 1 54 6 Paid for setting up the rood lofte x . And shortly after Paid to laborers for polyn g downe of the iiiid x . l roode At Braintree , in Essex , is a simi ar ex ample o f a staircase leading on to the roof ; and at

Horsmonden , in Kent, in the south aisle are four doors of a similar character , with this difference , that the

two above are not immediately over those below , but

further to the east . This staircase , as will be observed, on forms an octagonal turret the outside , and is carried

beyond the second doorway o n to the roof.

The south chancel , sometimes called the Clayton o f Chapel , from its containing the vault that family , is

separated from the south aisle by a Perpendicular arch . The east end is entirely blocked u p by the gigantic

monument to Sir Robert Clayton , which I shall notice h presently . T e outside Shows a Perpendicular windo w o f the same date and detail as the south window . There was doubtless at o n e time an altar at the east

end of this chancel . There is a piscina and Shelf o n the f south wall o decorated work and very elegant design . A great part of the structure of this chapel is Early of English . The south window contains a Shield arms —ar en t s a ble g a cross between four pellets , for Clayton ; of or u les ar en t impaling paly six and g on a canton g , a a sa ble of bear r mpant , , for Trott ; Martha , the wife h Sir Robert Clayton , being the daug ter of Mr . Trott .

Under the plaster is probably the original roof. The s quar e ‘ he ade d window above the arch was no doubt n inserted to throw light o the monument . — The Chan cel This is o n e o f the most interesting parts chu r ch Of the , and , as I before remarked , the earliest , ha with the exception o f the tower . The east window s g under one several alterations . It was formerly a very BLETCHINGLEY CHURCH . 28 1

This window was not in character with the rest o f the was o u t in church ; it therefore taken , and doing so , sufficient o f the old work was discovered to justify the s is suppo ition that the form in which we now see it , very o f w the nearly , if not exactly , that the original windo , t he of jambs , some of mouldings , and a portion the arch o n old each side remaining , the stones having been

. w refitted It is an Early English triple lancet windo , o f m n a type not unco mon in the eighbourhood . The i glass s by Clayton and Bell . The north Side of the chan cel deserves especial atten is tion , the arrangement uncommon and very interesting . It consists of three arches wi th three lancet windows over

. n Per en them Before the restoratio , there existed a p dicu lar window over the doorway into the vestry, of the same date a s the door . This window was removed and led to the discovery of the original opening . The westernmost of the three windows was blocked u p and partly cut away by a monument which has now been removed to the south chancel . On the outside this window existed in a per ct fe state behind the plastering . This was removed to o f on e o f the easternmost light , in place there the same t character which was too much injured to be res ored . One o f the most peculiar features here is that the s o w capitals are much belo the springing of the arch , a n d it is perfectly clear that they were never carried

hi . an . . y gher Mr J L .
