THE MONUMENTAL BRASSES AND HERALDRY OF THE ALLIED FAMILIES OF HAMPTON AND WALLER- IN THE PARISH CHURCH, WITH ILLUSTRATIVE PEDIGREES AND DESCENT OF THE MANOR.

BY B. W. GREENFIELD, M.A., F.S.A.

The condition of the ancient brasses and sepulchral monu- ments in Stoke-Charity Church is another example to be added to the large list throughout the kingdom of heedless neglect, and injury to costly memorials of the dead. This is especially to be regretted where, as in this instance, the antiquary and local historian have no means of supplying lost data respecting the gentry and land owners of the parish in bygone times. THE BRASS OF THOMAS WAYTE. On entering the church the first memorial that attracts attention is a raised tomb under a pointed arch in a recess of the south wall of the Nave. On the slab of Purbeck marble 4-ft. 7;in. by 2-ft. i-in. is the brass and inscription of Thomas Wayte, who died ioth April, 1482. (Plate I.) Though there is no trace of his connection with the possessors of the manor there can be no doubt that he must have dwelt and held land in the parish. At the four corners of the slab were four brass shields of arms, of which only one remains, that in the right upper corner. This shield is charged with the arms of Wayte, viz. (argent) a chevron (gules) between three bugle-horns stringed (sable) impaling Skilling, viz. (argent) two chevronels (gules) on a chief (of the second) three roundles (bezants). In the window of two lights at the. west end of the nave are two shields in stained glass, one in each light; that in the south light represented the same impalement of which only the coat of Skilling, on the sinister side of the shield, remains. The shield in the north light is damaged. The family of Skilling was of Lainston, near Win- chester, and afterwards of Stockbridge. The pedigree is entered in the heralds' Visitation of , of 1634. 2 A pedigree of .Wayte, of Segenworth, near Titchfield Abbey, and of Wayte's Cour.t in Brighstone, in the Isle of Wight, also registered in the same visitation, is printed in Berry's • Hampshire Pedigrees. John Wayte, Esq., was sheriff of the county in 1397. ' The coat of arms assigned to this family corresponds in the charges and tinctures with the shields at Stoke Charity. This is probably a branch of the family pi Edward Wayte, who died about 1447, of Barton-Stacey, Hants, in right of his wife, Margaret, daughter and heir of Philip Popham, of Barton-Stacey. They had issue Thomas Wayte, of Barton-Stacey, who died in 1449 [Escheats 27, H. VI. No. 12] and was buried in the Temple Church, London, s.p., when he was succeeded in Barton-Stacey by his two sisters, Matilda, wife of William Viall, and Margaret, who died 2nd February, 1461 [Esc. 1 R. III. No. 1], wife of John Long, of Draycot-Cerne, Wilts, and ancestress of the Longs of Draycot, Semington, Wraxall and North Bradley. Another member of the family was William Wayte, of Wymering, under Portsdown Hill, who married Anne, one of the four sisters and co-heirs of Edward Mompesson, of Bath- ampton-Wyly, in the parish of Steeple-Langford, and of Seagry, Wilts. Their daughter and heir, Elizabeth Wayte, brought the manor of Seagry to her husband, Sir Richard Norton, Kt., of Rotherfield, Hants, who died in 1592. Their grand- son, Sir Richard Norton, of Rotherfield, was created a Baronet 23rd May, 1622, and died in 1645. His son, Sir Richard, the 2nd Baronet, sold the manor of Seagry in 1648, and died in 1652, leaving an only daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Norton, who, at the age of 18, in May, 1664, married Francis Pawlett, of Amport, grandson of the fourth Marquis of . Sir Richard was succeeded in the title by his brother, Sir John Norton, as 3rd Baronet, who died 9th January 1686—7, s.p. when the title became extinct. A little further up the nave on the north side, under the arch of the eastern bay that separates the Nave from the Aisle, is a large raised tomb of Purbeck marble, 3-ft. i-in. high, covered with a ledger stone, 5-ft. 10-in., by 2-ft. 11-ih., also of Purbeck marble, without brass or inscription, haying a moulded edge, bevelled and champed.

On the slab of Purbeck marble 6-ft. 7-in. by 3-ft. 2-in. having a moulded and bevelled edge, which covers the tomb, are the full length effigial brasses of Thomas Hampton, and Isabel, his wife (Plate III). At their feet, is the following inscription, in black letter:— Hie jacet Thomas Hampton Armiger et Isabella uxor ejus qui-qdem Thomas II obiit in festo Apostolorum Simonis et Jude A0 dni Mo CCCCLXXXIIlo et dicta Isabella || obiit in festo Sci Andrie Apostoli A0 dni M° CCCCLXXV0 quorum aoimabus propicietur Deus amen. |] Below this, on another brass plate, are the effigies of their eight children (two sons and six daughters); and on labels from the lips of each parent ascend appeals for mercy to an emble- matical representation of the Holy Trinity. At the four corners of the slab are heraldic shields charged, alternately, with the single coat of Hampton, and Hampton impaling Doding- field. The upper part of the wife's figure is missing and lost, and the heraldic shields are much damaged. THE BRASS OF RICHARD WALLER, ESQ. All that remains of this mutilated brass now lies in the pavement of the mortuary chapel affixed, probably when the body of the church was restored by Sir William Heathcote, Lord of the Manor, in 1847, at a cost of ^500, and cemented upon a flagstone of Purbeck marble, 6-ft. g-in. by 2-ft. nin. It consists of a memorial inscription in old English letters of foiir lines on a plate, 26-in. by 3$-in., to Richard Waller, Esq., Lord of the Manor of Old Stoke. Below it are two separate brasses of heraldic shields. Both the inscrip-

The initial letters of the four lines of the inscription have been ploughed off; the lettering is much defaced, as likewise the charges on the two shields, and the lower half of the impaled coat of the left hand shield has been torn away. They are probably remnants of an effigial brass at the foot of which they were placed. The lettering appears to be as follows:— [0]f your Charite I desyre you to praye for the Soule of Richard Waller, Esquyer || [W]hoes bodye here lyeth in earthe and in claye, late Lorde of this Towne & also right |l [Nlear leyd under this Stone being bornn there unto The iiii of Septeber ye yere of || [Ye] Incarnacion of Or Lorde MCCCCCLII God. bring his Soule to his Salvacio ame || The charges on both shields are similar, viz., Baron and Femme : dexter side quarterly, i and 4 (sable) three walnut leaves (or) between two bendlets (argent) for Waller ; 2 and 3 (azure) a chevron chequy, or masculy, (or and sable), between three crosses moline (or) for Lansdall, impaling (argent) on a chevron (gules) between three cinque foils (azure), as many roundles (bezants) for Hampton.

MURAL MONUMENT OF JOHN WALLER, ESQ. ' This is in its original site against the north wall of the ctiapel. (Plate IV, Fig. 2). It consists of an altar tomb under a screen, or reredos, in the Tudor style, the whole being 8ft. iojin. high. The tomb, of free stone, is 3ft. in. high, including the slab of Purbeck marble, which is 5ft. 7m. by 2ft. 5in., having a moulded edge bevelled and champed. The front of the tomb is decorated with four panels; the two in the middle are each ift. 5m. square, with deep mouldings. In the centre of each of these two is a Tudor-shaped shield, embraced by the cusps of four trefoils, within an inner square, placed lozenge-wise. In the triangles formed by the horizontal and vertical lines of the outer and inner squares are trefoils within circles. The right hand shield is plain. On the other, cut in relief, are the capital letters I.W. in Roman characters, for John Waller. The two outer panels, of the same height, but half the width of the centre panels, display, within trefoil-headed arcades, well executed oii paintings ; that, on the left, of an arch- (St. Thomas, of Canterbury, his patron saint, to whom the altar was dedicated) wearing a golden mitre, and in full canonicals, 6 and bearing a crosier in his left hand; that, on the right, the Virgin Mary carrying the infant Christ on her right arm. The flesh tints and all the accessories in both are in their proper colours, but the pictures are much decayed and injured. The reredos above the altar represents, within a square- headed frame, surmounted by a frieze, and cornice edged at top with the Tudor upright flower, a double set of three trefoil-headed arcades, each set being enclosed by a depressed arch, and conjoined by a central mullion, and having the appearance of a window of six lights. These arcades are sunk within a wide and highly splayed border, or recess, enriched with trefoil-headed panelling under a depressed arch. On the right hand, the upright part of the splay is occupied by a canopied niche. In the spandrils, formed by the depressed arch of the splay and horizontal line of the frieze, are Tudor shields, charged with capital letters in relief, the left hand shield with I and the right with W. On the cornice are three heraldic shields tinctured, alternated with two Tudor vignettes of grapes and vine leaves. The shield on the left hand is charged with the.arms of Waller quartering Lansdall. When the tinctures on these shields were renewed the chevron in the Lansdall quartering was, by an error, entirely gildedi The shield on the right hand is charged, with the arms of. Hampton. The centre shield presents the coats of. Waller and.Lansdall quarterly, impaling that of Hampton. On the frieze is cut in the stone, in Roman capital letters, the following inscription, occupying two lines:—

• H l C JACENT CORPORA JOHANNIS WALLER ET JOHANNA UXORIS S U * UNIUS FILIARUM ET HEREDUM THOMiE HAMPTON, ARMIGERI, || NUPER DOMINI ISTIUS MANERII, .QUI-QUIDEM JOHANNES OBIIT, ANNO DOMINI, 1527. These numerals clearly indicate 1527, a year which proves to be an error, for the finding of the jurors by the inquisition on his death was that he died on 26 March, 17 H. VIII. 1525—6' THE PHELIPPS ALTAR TOMB. On the pavement at the North West end of the Chantry Chapel is a large Jacobean altar tomb of free stone lying east and west, covered with a large slab of Purbeck marble, with- HANTS FIELD CLUB. 1894. Plate IV.

*0TO LITMO S»R»CUl t C lONOON TOMBS AT STOKE CHARITY. t out inscription. (Plate IV, Fg. i.) The tomb is 3ft. 4111. high, and 7ft. ioin. long, by 3ft. 4^in. wide. The sides are divided into three panels by fluted pilasters surmounted by a frieze. Each panel bears an heraldic shield. Those to the right and left, are charged with the coat of Phelipps, viz. (argent) a chevron between three roses (gules) ; that in the centre panel is Baron and Femwe: the dexter half is quarterly, 1 and 4 Phelipps • 2 and 3 (or) on a chevron (sable)' three Eagles' heads erased (argent), also Phelipps, impaling Waller, and in the centre of the shield an escutcheon (argent) charged with the Baronet's badge of the red hand of Ulster. Above this shield are two crests ; the dexter is a fire grate on two wheels (argent) flaming (proper), Phelipps ; the sinister,—a Boar statant (sable) armed (proper) Waller. The centre shield and crests are repeated on the panels at the head and foot of the tomb. All these shields' and crests have been daubed over in party colours of blue and brown. Judging from the heraldry, this tomb marks the burial place of Sir Thomas Phelipps, 1st. Bart, who married Charity Waller eldest daughter and coheiress of William Waller Esq., lord of the manor of Old Stoke ; and we learn from the Church Register that their sons, Sir Thomas and Sir James, the 2nd and 3rd Baronets, their mother Charity, Viscountess Ogle and Elizabeth, widow of Sir James Phelipps 3rd Baronet, were buried at Old Stoke Charity. Upon a large marble slab 6ft. 3m. by 3ft. iin., lying on the pavement on the South side of the altar tomb is a much decayed inscription, under a lozenge charged with the coat of Pheiipps, cut in capital letters, as follows :— HERE LYETH THE BODY OF || CHA[RITIE] PHELYPES •: DAUGHTER OF || SR- JAMES PHELYPES BARONET || BY DAME ELIZABETH HIS WIFE || WHO [DIED ON] 29 DAY OF || [AUGUST 167] 4. || The portions in brackets are supplied from the register of Burials. Upon a smaller stone also lying unfixed on the pavement at the south-west corner of the chapel, is a much decayed inscription as follows :— HERE LYETH THE BODY || OF [JAMES PHELYPES] THE [SON] OF S*- JAMES PHELYPES, BARONET AND II MARINA HIS WIFE, If WHO WAS [BURIED 30TH SEPTEMBER] 167 [5]. II 8

On the north and south walls, at the west end of the aisle, are two memorial, inscriptions cut on separate tablets of black marble, each about, ift. 5m. by ift. 2in., sunk into the face of the wall. The tablet on the north wall bears the following inscription in capital letters:— ELIZABETH PHELYPPES |'REALICK | OF SIR JAMES PHELYPPES | BARRO" fct-saws NETTI THIRD BA:UGH.TER OF | S«.RICHARDTICHBORN |OFTICHBORN BARRONETT I DYED MARCH YE 25th 1693. j' ~ I Requiescat in Pace. | Over the. tablet is a shield tinctured with the Arms of Phelyppes impalling . The tablet on the south wall of the aisle is thus inscribed, in small letters:—r HERE LYETH YE BODY OF YE RIGHT HOBLE LADY | CHARITIE OGLE ELDEST DAUGHTER AND CO|HEYER OF WILLIAM WALLER ESQUIRE « FIRST MA|RIED TO SR- THOMAS PHELYPPES BARONET I AND AFTER HIS DECEASE MARIED TO Y* RLGHT | HO«-E WLLLIAM LORD VICECOUNT OGLE WHO I DECEASED YE 5TH DAY OF OCTOBER IN YE | YEARS OF - OUR LORD 1645. | Over the inscription is a shield bearing the tinctured arms of Waller, and upon an esquire's mantled helmet, the crest, on a wreath, a boar statant sable armed proper:—a crest which no other branch of the Waller family appears to have used...... ••:..£• Against the westjend wall of the aisle, under the window,. is the altar tomb and reredos of free stone of Sir James Phelyppes, 3rd Baronet. In the centre of the reredos, and sunk into the free stone, is a black marble table, ift. ioin. high by. ift. 5m., bearing the following inscription :— HERE LYETH THE BODY, OF THE | HONBLE. SIR JAMES PHELYPPES | BARONETT, WHO DECEASED THE 28TH I DAY OF OCTOBER, IN VE YEARS OF I OUR LORD, 1652. | The front of the altar is decorated with three highly tinctured heraldic shields. That to the left hand bears the coat of Phelipps, charged with the Baronet's badge on the chevron point. The centre shield is Baron and Femme; the dexter half is quarterly, 1 and 4 Phelipps; 2, or on a chevron sable three eagles' heads erased gules (argent ?) also PMipps; 3, Waller; impaling (vair) a chief or, Tichborne, and in the centre of the shield an escutcheon argent charged with the Baronet's badge. Over the shield, on a mantled helmet, is the fire basket CREST of. Phelipps. 9

William Waller had a younger brother who survived him, from whom he borrowed sums of money, in or before the year 1609,1 amounting to £2006,* to pay his debts, on the security (as is already noticed) of a lease of the manor of . Old Stoke for 99 years,1 with other manors and lands.1 a This brother, JOHN WALLER, ESQ. of Compton-Moncieux, (of which he had a lease for years2) was baptized at Old- stoke, on 30 June, between the years 1542 and 1545.* By Inq. p.m. dated 13 January, 1618-9, it was found that he was seized in fee of the Manor of Aven (Avon) and its appurts. in Aven and Ripley; the manor and advowson of the Vicar- age of Sopley and the appurts. and the manor and capital messuage and farm of Canefeild and its appurts in Mottesfont and Lockerly, and lands in Milton.8 By Deed, dated 19th Nov. i6Jac. 1. 1618 (the. day before his death) between himself of the 1st part, and Sir Richard Tichborne, of Winchester Castle, Kt., and Susan his wife, niece of the said John Waller of the 2d part, out of love and affection and for the continuance of the herditaments in the blood and line of his said niece, he covenanted and granted that from and after his death all the aforesaid manors, capital messuage, advowson and lands should pass to the said Susan Lady Tichborne and her heirs. He died at his manor of Sopley on the following day, viz., 20 November, 1618, and thereon Sir Richard and Lady Tichbof ne took possession accordingly; The manor of Aven and appurts. were held of the manor of Charford in socage, and worth 10 marks per annum ; the manor of Sopley and appurts. with the advowson of the Vicarage and the water mill, &c. were held of the heirs of William Montacute formerly Earl of Salisbury, and worth £y 10s. iod., per annum ; the manor &c, of Canefeild, and the appurts. in Mottesfont and Lockerley, were held of the king by military service, and worth 4 marks per annum; and the lands called Wottons and Chamberlains in Milton, were held of the king as of his manor of Lyndhurst in socage and worth 40s. per annum. It was also found that his nearest heirs were Charitie, wife of Thomas Phillippes, Esq., 'Inq. p.m. of William Waller, Esq., 17 Jac. pt. 1, No. 87. > Will of John Waller of Compton Moncieux, 1618, Register Meade 106. •Inq. p.m. of John Waller, Esq., 16 Jac.

He therein confirms the above grant ofhismanorsandlands,&c, to Susan,Lady Tichborne; and— reciting that he had spent £2000 in payment of his brother's debts on the security of a long lease from his brother of the manor and lands of Stoke-Charity, and divers other manors and lands in Co. of Southampton,—he grants to his niece Charitie Phelipps, and her issue male, the rents and profits during the remainder of the said lease, provided that she shall discharge and acquit his executors and estate of all bonds and encumbrances entered into between him and his late brother ; and in such case he forgives and remits to her the said ^2000 debt. He settled his lease for years of the manor of Compton-Moncieux on his niece Susan, Lady Tich- borne. Among other legacies he bequeathes to William Cheeke, gentleman, " my sister's son," an annuity of ^"40 for life; and the following specific legacies:—" to the poor people of Stoke Charity £10 ; the same of King's Somborne, £10 ; my two nieces, Lady Tichborne and Charitie Phelipps, £100 a piece; my sister's " (Mary his only sister) " daugh- ter, Jone Waterman, £5 ; and her child, £10 ; to the three younger children of William Flewell, of Sopley, who married my sister's daughter, £5 a piece ; to my said nephew William Cheeke and Dorothy his wife, £10 a piece ; to George Paw- let of Crondal, my godson ^"io; my god-daughter Mrs. Mabell Plouden, £2 6s. 8d.; my cousin, Nicholas Sutton, my ould good friend, £10 ; my noble friend and kinsman, the Lord St. John of Basing, a ring with a diamond value £10, as a token of love ; to Lord John Paulet, my kinsman, a ring with a diamond, price 20 nobles ; to Mr. Edmond Plowden, my lease of Pittham farm ; I ordain Sir Richard Tichborne, Kt., and John Foyle, gentleman, executors of my Will, and give to said John Foyle a ring, value ^"20 ; and appoint Sir Hamden Pawlet Kt., and William Coran (Corham) Esq., overseers, and give to each of them a gold ring, value£5."* 1 Ing. p.m. of John Waller, Esq., 16 Jac.

CHARITY PHELIPPS, wife of Thomas Phelipps Esq., (to whom she was married before October, 1616), accordingly, on her father's death inherited the reversion in fee of the manor and advowson of Stoke-Charity with other manors and lands. There is no evidence that she dwelt there in her first husband's life time, but rather at Winchester, as in his Will he styles himself " of Winchester." *• Her first husband, Thomas Phelipps Esq., of Barrington Court, Somerset, was born in 1590, and created a Baronet 16 February, 1619—20.2 At the age of 17 he entered 's College,' Oxford, and matriculated 4 Dec, 1607.* He mortgaged Barrington Court in Feb. 1621—2 for ^"2010, and in 1625 conveyed his Somersetshire property—by way of mortgage—for ^3,800, to William Strode, Esq.* He represented the City of Win- chester with Sir Richard Tichborne, Kt., (husband of his wife's sister)—in the first Parliament of Car. I. 1625.B, By his Inq. p.m. taken at Winchester 4 April, 3 Car. I., 1627, it was found that he and his wife, in her right, were seized in fee of the manors of Old Stoke-Charity, and its appurts. together with the advowson of the Rectory and Church of Old Stoke ; the manors of Leckford-Abbots and Leckford Abbess, and the advowson of the Rectory and Church ^of Leckford ; the capital messuage in Micheldever, and 150 acres called Borcotts, with Bidleswood and Pingden woods in Micheldever and ; the manor of Ashley and appurts. ; the keepership of the Forest of Westbeare; the meadows in Romsey called Ashleymeads ; the manor of Somborne-Parva and Northparke and appurts. there and in Somborne-Regis ; the first crop of two acres of a meadow called Peamore, in Romsey, parcel of the manor of Somborne-Parva ; meadows called Timsbury-Moores, with two messuages and land in Timsbury, bought of John Knight; two messuages in St. Clement's, Winchester ; seven messuages in St. Thomas's, Winchester ; one messuage and four acres of meadow in Romsey, and three messuages and

He died 29 April 1626, and Lady Charity survived him, and their son, Thomas Phelipps, now Baronet, is his nearest heir, aged at the time of his father's death five years and more,1 and ward of the king, the wardship being assigned to Sir William Ogle, afterwards Lord Ogle, who had married the 'ward's mother.2 Their second son, John Phelipps, died in in- fancy, and was buried at Stoke Charity, 13th Feb. 1625-6.*

Besides raising money on his Somersetshire estates, Sir Thomas Phelipps, the first Baronet, by Deed dated 4 July, 1625, in consideration of a loan of £1000 at the rate of 8 per cent, interest, granted and demised to John Dutton Esq., of Sherborne, both manors of Leckford-Abbots, and Leckford Abbess, by way of mortgage, redeemable on full payment of 1 Ing. p. m. of Sir Thos.

As, however, Sir Thomas died within a year after the date of the Deed, and as none of the money had been paid, John Dutton, by his Deed, dated, 4 Feb., 1632-3, assigned, for a competent sum of money, his whole interest therein to Richard S.tansbey, who, by Deed poll of 13 August 1646, reciting that the assignment was made only in trust for Sir William Ogle, who had married dame Charity Phillips, the relict, granted all his estate therein to Sir William Ogle, viz., for the remainder of a term for 500 years of certain old rents issuing out of lands in the manors of Leckford amoun- ting to £?& per annum ; and in November 1646 Sir William Ogle presented to the Commissioners of Parliament for Compounding his Particular of that estate, for which he compounded and paid his whole fine of /240.1 In his Will, without date, of which administration was granted 26, May, 1627, to " Lady Charity Philipps, alias Ogle," his relict, and with further administration, 13 April, 1649, to " Lord William Ogle, alias Viscount Ogle," his wife, the aforesaid " Lady Charity Phelipps, alias Ogle," being dead, Sir Thomas desired that the manors of both Leckfords and Burcotts farm should be sold by Sir George Horsey and others to whom they were conveyed by Deed.2 Before 26 May, 1627, Lady Charity Pheiipps, widow, had married Sir William Ogle, Kt., to whom the guardianship of her eldest son was assigned by the Court of Wards.3 It does not appear that she had any issue by her second hus- band. Upon Cromwell's laying siege to the city and castle of Winchester, in the first week of October, 1645, he gave leave to Lady Ogle, to come forth and depart from the Castle, of which her husband was the Royalist governor. She had gone some miles out of the town, when her death took place,* and her body was interred with her ancestors at Old Stoke Charity, on Sunday 5th October, 1645,* being 1 Royalist Composition Papers, Series II. vol.

Regarding Sir William Ogle, Kt.:—In 1629 and again in 1633, Sir William Ogle, as guardian of his step-son, took proceedings in the Court of Wards for the redemption of the mortgage of the Barrington property, which were not settled before the breaking out of the war in 1642.2 By Privy Seal, 10 May, and again by Patent 28 June, 7 Car. I. 1631, Sir William Ogle, in right of Chanty his wife, (formerly wife of Sir Thomas Philipps,) and Sir Richard Tichborne, in right of Susan his wife, daughters, and coheirs of William Waller, had license of entry from the Court of Wards on lands in the County of Southampton.8 In 1639, as Sir William Ogle, of Old Stoke Charity, he purchased of Launcelot Thorpe, of Kingsclere, gentleman, an orchard and appurts. in the parish of St. Peter, Winchester.1 On 10th March, 1639-40, he, with John Lisley, Esq., was elected as representative of the City of Winchester, to the 4th Parliament of Car. I., which was summoned to meet on 13th April, 1640, arid dissolved at the end of three weeks, on 5th May following; and again, on 27th October, in the same . year, he was returned by the City of Winchester as one of its representatives to the Long Parliament,* and so con- tinued till 24th June, 1643, when by a resolution of the House of Commons, he was disabled for continuing any longer a member of the House, and discharged from his employment in Ireland in consequence of his being at war against the Parliament.1 On 4th November, 1645, Nicholas Love, Esq.,.was elected and returned in his place for Winchester.* But prior to this, the House of Com-. mons, on 23rd April, 1642, approved of his being nominated by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to be Colonel of a Regi- ment ; and, on 24th August, 1642, ordered that the thanks of the House be given to him for the good service he had done in Munster.1 1 Michaelmarsh and its Antiquities, 8° 1867. * Proceedings of Somerset Archeol. & Natl.

In the Bursar's accounts of Winchester College for 1645, there occurs a curious and interesting payment of is. " famulo domini Gulielmi Ogle, Vicecomitis Barrington gubernatoris castri et civitatis tempore guerrae"x The mistake in the title is obvious. In the same year, the king created him Viscount Ogle, of Catherlough, in the peerage of Ireland. It appears from the Royalist Composition papers that Lord Ogle was at Oxford, at the time of its surrender in June, 1646, and, consequently, was treated by the Parliament at Westminster as a delinquent, but had the benefit of the Articles of that Surrender under the certificate of General Fairfax, whereby he had liberty to compound for the redemption of his lands. This was done accordingly in the November following, as is already stated. Before 1648; Lord Ogle married to his second wife, Sarah, widow of Sir Hugh Stewkly, Bart., of Hinton-Ampner, near Alresford, and of Michelmarsh, near Romsey, and daughter and co-heir of Ambrose Dauntsey, Esq., of.West Lavington, Wilts. As she held a jointure estate from her first husband in the manor and premises of Michelmarsh, Lady Ogle con. tinued to reside there with her second husband.2 In Michelmarsh Church the following memorial is cut in Roman capital letters on a tablet of black marble within a Jacobean frame of Caen stone, which is now removed to the east wall of the south aisle:— HERE LYETH THE BODY || OF SIR WILLIAM OGLE II VISCOVNT CATHER- LOVGH || IN THE KlNGDOME OF || IRELAND, WHO DEPARTED II THIS LIFE THE I4TH JVLY, || 1682. || Over the truncated pediment is a shield, surmounted by a Viscount's coronet, charged with the arms of Ogle, viz., 1 Kirby's Annals of Winchester College, 1892, p. 333. * Michaelmarsh and its Antiquities, 8° 1867. 23 argent, a fesse between three crescents, gules, impaling Dauntsey of West Lavingtott, viz., gules, a lion rampant, argent, supporting a wyvern erect, vert.

SIR THOMAS PHELIPPS, 2D BARONET, was born about 1620, being full five years old at the time of his father's death, in April, 1626.1 At the age of 15 he entered Queen's College, Oxford, and matriculated 23rd October, 1635.2 Having come of age, on the breaking out of the civil war, in 1642, he and his brother took part, and were actively engaged, on the side of the king: consequently all his estates were sequestered by the Parliament at West- minster. He was slain in the war,3 in the prime of life and his body was carried to Stoke Charity, and there buried, 5th March, 1644-5.* Dying s.p. he was succeeded by his only surviving brother, SIR JAMES PHELIPPS 3D BARONET. In his petition to the Parliament Commissioners, dated 20 Dec, 1645, he styles himself as of " Winchester, " and begs to. compound for delinquency, stating that, " by compulsion, he, as captain, joined Sir William Ogle, who married his mother, and held a garrison " (Winchester) " for the king," and " his mother's estate has now come to him. " On 30 July, 1646, his fine was fixed at £700, On 8 May, 1649, he begs allowance from this composition fine of the proportion paid for Leckford-Abbots and Leckford Abbess by Sir Wil- liam Ogle, who claimed the same, and had compounded for them. Accordingly, by order of 22 May, 1649, the Commis- sioners abated the sum of ^54, thereby reducing the fine to ^646.* He died 28 October, 1652, and his body was buried next day at Stoke Charity.* His wife was Elizabeth third, daughter of Sir Richard Tichborne 2d Bart., by his second wife Susan, 2d daughter and co-heir of William Waller 1 Inq. p.m. of Sir Thos.

She survived him many years; and dying at Stoke Charity, on 25 March, 1693, her body was buried there on the 30th following.* Their only surviving son and suc- cessor was SIR JAMES PHELIPPS, 4TH BARONET. He was of Stoke Charity. His full length portrait appears among those of many other members of the family in the large • picture at Tichborrie House, of the Tichborne Dole, of which an interesting description was communicated by F. J. Baigent, Esq., to the late J. Gough Nichols," F.S.A., and printed in the Her. & Gen. IV. 65. The picture was painted by Giles Tilburg, a Flemish painter, about 1670, for Sir Henry Tichborne, 3d Bart., uncle of this Sir James Phelipps. He was baptized at Stoke Charity, 6 July, 1650, and married there, 1 May, 1674,t0 Marina Michill,* by whom he had an only son, James Phelipps, who died in infancy, and was buried at Stoke Charity, 30 Sept., 1675.* He renewed the attempt to recover the Barrington estate from the Strode family, and filed a Bill in Chancery accor- dingly. On the cause coming to a hearing in 1677, his Bill was dismissed, and the Strode title confirmed.1 After the Revolution of 1688, he allied himself to the Roman Catholic party, and the cause of king James II. His first Will, dated 4 Oct., 1688, before his departure for Ireland, with a schedule thereto of the same date, was after- wards deposited in the Registry at Cork. He therein styles himself " of Stoake Charity, Co., Southampton, " and appoints dame Marina his wife, sole executrix. He leaves to her all his Personal estate absolutely, and gives her a life interest in his Real estate, subject to the payment of his debts. He bequeathes the Reversion and Remainder of his Heal estate after his wife's death, or second marriage, and subject to the payment of his debts and legacies, &c, to his sister Elizabeth Phelipps of Winchester, spinster, her heirs and assigns for ever. He gives to Ellis Mews, his godson, an annuity for life of 50s., until the marriage or decease of his wife, and •Church Register. 1 Proceedings of Somerset Archeol. & Nat. Hist.

In the schedule he makes, among others, the following bequests :—" to my wife £1000 ; my mother £ ioo ; my sister at Cambray ^"ioo ; my sister Betty £50; Mr. Edward Symonds £50; Mr. Ropert Naper £40 ; to my wife for the good of my soul ^"100 ; Mrs. Francis Roberts ^"5 ; Lord Hunsdon £5 ; Mr. Anthony Browne 40s., for a ring ; the same to Mark Arundell and Mr. Henry Poundes.

" By a second Will, dated in Ireland, 1 March. 1689-90, he confirms the first, and makes Robert, Lord Hunsdon and Lieut. William Hanford, overseers, and leaves to each £1 to buy mourning rings. He then makes the following bequest: " to my servant, Michael Hare £10, and all my clothes and wearing apparel, and he shall with what expedition he can repair to my wife into France, or where else she is, by direction of my overseers, and carry to her what gold, silver, and other effects shall remain of mine, not by this disposed of, and what I shall leave undisposed of shall be converted into money and carried to my wife wherever she is." Both Wills were proved in London on 18 July, 1690, by Peter Cooke, attorney to Lady Mariana (sic) Phelipps, the relict and executrix, Sir James having died in Ireland.1 Hence arise the questions:—1st, was his death caused by the war ; 2d., was " My Sister at Cambray," a nun in the benedictine Con- vent at Cambray in France ? Charity, Lady Phellips's younger sister, SUSAN WALLER, daughter and coheiress of William Waller, was born in 1597, and married at Winchester on 7 July 1607, to Sir Richard Tichborne, Kt.2 (being his second wife). Prior to the marriage, her father, by Indenture, of 28 June, 1607, settled upon Sir Rich.
