PREFACE.

"I declare myself. infinitely: delighted with a Preface. Is it exquisitely written ? No literary morsel is more

delicious. Is the author. inveterately~ dull? It ..is a kind of preparatory information which may be very useful. It argues a deficiency of taste to turn over an elaborate preface unread : for it is the attar of the author's roses, every drop distilled at an immense cost. It is the reason of the reasoning, and the folly of the foolish." Thus wrote Isaac cl'Israeli; and I must confess to an entire concordance in his sentiments. But I have observed that the custom of prefixing an introduction to a book is fast falling into disuse ; and it has long been one of the 'things generally known ' that the ordinary reader seldo1n takes the trouble to peruse the author's prologue. Being, however, conservative in my notions, and there­ fore somewhat of a laudator temporis acti·, I venture to add a porch to the little building I have here erected, wherein the descendants of the noble families of Henzey, Tyttery, and Tyzack will (to use the ,vords of the illustrious Dugdale) "see very much of their worthy ancestry." But the raison a: etre of this little book and the causes which have induced me to rush into print and submit the result of my researches to the (necessarily) select few· among whom this my libellus will circulate are so· fully set forth on p. 28 et seq_. that I find myself in the somewhat awkward predicament of having little or nothing to say by way of preface, save to tender my warmest thanks to those ··who have assisted me in my labours-and I hope they will accept this general acknowledgm-ent of their favours. There is, however, one subject, but lightly touched upon in the text, which I think I may appropriately discuss here,-viz., what is to be understood by the words 9entilhomme verrier 1 IV.•

I have placed by ,vay of motto on my title page the words of the fa1nous Bernard Palissy that ' g-lass-1naking is a noble art and those who practice it are noble.' This very ren1arkable state1nent-if taken in its strictly literal sense-see1ns to require a few words of explanation. . Among· the descendants of the Henzeys, an idea prevails .that those only of noble blood were allowed to engage in glass-making ; and l\tI. Sauzay, in his interesting work " Les 1nerveilles de la Verrerie " informs us that, according to the testimony of several. authors, the general opinion­ ' admitted even £n the present day '-is that formerly the mere trade of glass-making carried nol:>ility with it-that in short every common glass-maker was ennobled- by the mere fact of the nature of his trade. Neither of these assertions is correct. That a roturier glass-maker became ipso facto noble is a proposition so utterly repugnant to common sense that it is difficult to understand how it ever came to be, as M. Sauzay expresses it, "an admitted historical fact;" while there is abundant evidence to prove that the Henzey tradition is equally erroneous. Yet that some such claim to the degree of nobility on the part of glass-makers of plebeian birth was preferred is perfectly clear from a decree of the Gour des .A.£des at Paris in 1597, the text of which is cited by M. Sauzay, which, while it a-dn1its that a genti"lltomme did not forfeit his nobility, by exercising the· art of glass-making, expressly affirms that a rotur£er did not acquire nobility by engaging in that trade. 'fhe highest in_ rank in this " nation of shopkeepers" may engage in commerce without .' losing caste' :- Lord Stafford mines in coal and salt, The Duke of Norfolk deals in malt, The Douglas in red herrings.

But ' they managed these things better (?) in France ? under the ancien regime. "La noblesse (says Desbois) se perd par le trafic." A law as ancient as the nobility itself decreed that by engaging in trade a gentilhomme not only degraded himself but his posterity. v.

This being the case, how was. it possible for such an anomaly as a Gen.tilltomme Verrier to exist ? The opinion of M. Sauzay is that although the stringent law I have referred to was admitted to press harshly upon those of the nobilitv who from divers causes had fallen into poverty, yet the"' respect then borne to ancient custon1s, was so great that the Kings themselves dared not abrogate it, nor even except fro1n its operation a single trade. At last a new Industry sprang into existence-that of glass­ making-which not being specified in the list of prohibited trades enabled the Kings, ,vhilst upholding in all its rigour the ancient law, to profit by its silence in regard to glass­ making, and thus open a resource as indispensable to the rising trade as to the re-establishrnent of the nobleman's fortune. Numbers of the poorer nobility took advantage of the means thus afforded them to retrieve their fallen fortunes ; and when once the fact was established that no forfeiture of rank was involved in pursuing 'the art and mystery of glass-making,' their richer brethren largly ·increased their revenues by the· same means ; and so in time the " Gentils­ ho-m-me Verriers" became an influential and wealthy class, and in Lorraine were regarded as very little inferior in rank to the g'rands and pet£ts chevaux of that province. Thus though the trade was not exclusively carried on by the Nobility, so great a prestige attached tQ it that it came to be looked upon as a 'noble art ' and ' those who prac­ tised it as noble.' Many of the nobility of France, Lorraine, and Burgundy were personally engaged in glass-making. But it by no means follows that all the " Gentilshommes V erriers " one reads of were literally rnakers of glass any more than the Duke of Norfolk is a m~ltster, or the Douglas a fish- -· monger. "Being noble by birth (says M. Sauzay) and no longer in dread of the la,v of forfeiture, the Gent,£lsltom11ies Verriers, in consideration of certain dues, delivered up their forests to the irerriers roturiers. The latter, thanks to the nobles, found therein everything which they required, that is, space VI• •

. adapted to their trade, wood, without which they could ·not work; and still further, all the profits accruing from the exemptions .which being accorded to the lord alone formed, what in the present day would be known under the name of co1nmon captital ( apport ou fonds social)." From the preceding then we learn that generally speaking a Gentilkornme Verrier was a noble who had the n1onopoly worked on his estate ; but the title was also accorded to those who like the HENZEYS, TYTTERYs, and TYZACKS were literally nobles and glass-rnakers. It is scarcely necessary to add that the word noble bears on the continent a less restricted sense than iu this country, where we apply it only to the members of a titled family. In France nobility is quite independent of title. . The nubility of the Henuezels had been repeatedly acknowledged. On many occasions they were admitted to be gentt7shommes de race, ,.qentilshommes d' e:vt1·action, issu d' une tres noble et tre.s ancienne maison, &c.; but until Jean Claude de Hennezel obtained in 1716 the erection of his estate of Beaujeu into a Comte, the highest titles they bore were chevalier and ecuyer. When in France the nobility of an individual was acknow­ ledged, it was a matter of indifference whether his title was marquis, comte, vieomte, or baron; or whether he. had any title or not.· The only important question was, not what t'itle he bore, but whether he really was a gentz1homme. " When about the beginning of the reign of Louis XVI -I am quoting a curious treatise on the Nobili"~l/ qf tlie British Gentry by Sir James Lawrence, Knight of J\'Ialta,­ an ordinance appeared that no individual should be pre­ sented at Versailles, unless he could prove four hundred years of nobility, or that his ancestors were already noble before the year 1400, a 1nultiplicity of Counts and l\1arquises were rejected; although many an untitled Gentilhonin~e left their ( s£c) towers and chateaux in Britanny and Languedoc and posted up to Paris to shew their pre-eminence." I \vill not speculate on what ,vould be the result were . such an ordeal introduced at _St. James' s ; but supposing the ordinance had been in force in France during the second .. vu. empire, among the few who might have put in an appear­ ance would have been a poor charcoal burner from the forest of Compiegne-the Marquis de Crequy, the last re­ presentative of one of the most illustrious houses of France.

THE HENZEY, TYTTERY, AND TYZACK FAMILIES.

Sometime in the sixteenth century, when the religious persecutions were raging in France and the Low Countries, and the defenceless members of the reformed religion were being daily outraged and assassinated-persecuti_ons which culminated in the awful massacre of St. Bartholomew-three noble huguenots, natives of Lorr~ine, named respectively de Hennezel, de Thietry; and du Thisac (anglicised He·nzell or Henzey, Tyttery, and Tyzack), all glaBsmakers, left their native ·1and, and with their wives and families, settled in this country. They came first, it is said, to London and Wool wich/l but meeting with no encouragement there, removed, some to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and son1e to the neighbourhood of Stourbridge, on the borders of W orcesteTshire and Staf­ fordshire. At that period, and later, glass making was extensively carried on by the nobility of Lorraine, it being one of the few trades-or perhaps the only trade-in which persons of noble birth were permitted to engage without derogation to their rank as noblesse, and those ,vho practised it ,vere known as gentz"lshommes verriers.t It is even asserted * John Henzey, son of Joshua Henzey, of Amblecote, was a Broad-glass-maker at Woolwich in 1657. t The Countess "Dash," speaking of the Court of Lorraine in the time of the Regency, says "II y avait bien bonne compag.nie et grande Noblesse autour d'elle (the Duchess of Lorraine). D'abord les quatre grands chevaux, c'est-a-dire les LenDncoiirt, Ligne'Ville, d,u Chatelet, et d,' Harancourt, puis les petits chevaux, les gent-ilshommes verriers, et autres ; toutes ces lignees de Lorraine si anciennes et si illustres." The "grands et petits chevaux" of Lorraine, it ma.y be mentioned, were certain ancient noble families so designated, who were acknowledged to be" de 1' ancienne .cbevalerie." The grands chevaux comprised the four families mentioned above. Authorities differ as to the names and number of the petits chevattx. A French writer, speaking of the former, says "l' importance de ces quatre familles etait telle, que les fl.ls ou les descendans du fils de tout gentilhomme allie a l'une d' elles avaient a ce seul titre, entree aux Etats de la Province, avec Jes droits et privileges des a.nciens pairs." Another remarks, "il fallait etre issu de ces quatre races, par les femmes, pour avoir entree dans les assises ou Etats de Lorraine, et le droit de pairie primitive leux a toujoms ete conserve." 2 THE HENZEY, TYTTERY, AND TYZACK FAMILIES. that the Nobility at one time enjoyed the monopoly of this business, such a right having been granted to them by St. Louis as au indemnification for their losses in the Holy Wars! Be this as it n1ay, it is a well kno,vn fact that the making of glass was considered a noble occupation, and the earliest• n1anufacturers of it, even in this country, seem to have claimed. a superior social position to that enjoyed by other manufacturers. It was in the broad or w-tndo-w glass making that our three emigrant families were skilled ; and the story is that those who came into Worcestershire and Staffordshire formed an encampment at or near the Lye, in the neighbourhood of Stourbridge, and there, in digging the holes for their tent po l~s, &c., discovered the far-fained Stourbridge fire-clay~ Finding _that this clay resembled that employed in their own country for the making of· glass-house pots, they erected a glass-house on a hill which is now (and has been, it is stated, ever since the ,vork was built there) called" Hungary Hill," .;_the popular belief, I suppose, being that these strangers came from that country. Another tradition affirms that the · first glass-house was erected at Amblecote or Ooleborne-brook ;~:~ and there is no doubt that an eminence known as "Glass-house Hill," in the village of Oldswinford, not far distant from the parish church, is the ·site of another early glass-work. t The manufacture thus introduced was afterwards greatly extend­ ed in the hands of the descendants and successors of these emigrants, and for years it has been one of the staple trades of the district. · · Dr. Plot, ( Natural History -of Staffordshire) writing in 1686, says, under Amblecote, that "the goodness of the clay and the cheapness of coal thereabout, no doubt has * It should be mentioned, for the benefit of strangers, that the town of Stour.. bridge, and the hamlets of Lye, Wollaston, and A.mblecote are all in the :parish of Oldswinford; and that A.mblecote .and Coleborne-brook are in the county of Stafford, whereas Stourbridge, Lye, and Wollaston are in Worcestershire. t "James, a strainger at the Glasse-house," was buried at Oldswinford, March 29th, 1679. Thomas Bradley, who died in 1677, is described in the letters of administration granted to Frances, his widow as a glassmaker at Oldswinford ; and another Thomas Bradley, mentions in his will, dated 1705, his glass work " ir,, Oldswin:ford."

A ,vriter in the Gentleman's JJfagazine for 1856, under the nom de plume of " Antiquarian" affirms that " the greater number" of these Foreigners settled at Stourbridge; but the Rev. Henry Bourne, in his History of Newcastle-::­ upon-Tyne, writing before the year 1733,t states that they first settled at N ew0astle_. "Sometime in the reign of queen Elizabeth (he writes) came over to England from Lorraine, the Henzels~ Tyz~cks, and Tytorys. The reason of their coming hither was the persecution of the protestants in their own country, of which persuasion they were. They were by occupation glasf? makers. At their first coming to this town they wrought in their trade at the Close Gate ; after that they removed into Staffordshire, from whence they removed again and settled upon the river side at the place called, from their abiding in it, the Glass-Houses. Deservedly therefore have so many of these families been namedt Peregrines from the latin word peregrinus which signifies a pilgrim or a stranger. Having at last settled here they became very numerous and generally married into each other's families to preserve the three names of * The writer of an article on the glass trade in a local newspaper states that in the year 1688 there are said to have been 27 glass-houses in Stourbridge and its neighbourhood: "but (he adds) if this was the case many of them must have be~n very small.~' It does not appear on what authority he asserts this. In the year 1746, when the duty was imposed upon glass, we read (in ~he Gentleman's Magazine of that date), "many of the glass-houses, of which there a1·e but forty in the kingdom, have discontinued working." t :Mr. Bourne was curate of All Saints', Newcastle, from 1722 to 1733, in which --latter year he died. Bis work was published after his death :in 1786. :I: It is singular that this baptismal name which has been so frequently borne by these families at Newcastle, was borne by only one member of the Stourbridge Henzey family, viz., Peregrine, whose daught,er Jane was baptized in 1620. In the Tyzack family it occurs only twice, and probably both entries (in the Oldswin­ ford registers) refer to the same person, viz._, PeregTine, son of Edward Tyzack, baptized in 1692, and Peregrine Tyzack, of Amblecote, buried in 1755. 4 THE HENZEY, TYTTERY, AND TYZACK FAMILiES.

Henzel, Tyzack, and Tytory. But the latter within these few years became extinct. There are of the Tyzacks several remaining ; but the Henzels are most numerous. "As you go from the glass-house you come now to the 'Glass-Houses,' a large village, and pass by western glass­ house/~ then to the crown glass-house, then to the 1niddle bottle house, then to the eastern glass-house. Nigh this last is the house of the late ]Ylr. Peregrine Henzel, the principal person then remaining of his family, and one of the chief o-wners of these works." As to whether these fan1ilies settled first at Newcastle, as Bourne asserts, it is difficult to decide. The parish registers of Olds,vinford commence in 1602, and the name of Henzey first appears therein in 1615, when Paul, the son of Jacob Henzie, and Zacharias the son of Fowler Henzie were baptized; the one on the 9th. and the other on the 16th of December. In the years 1617 and 1619, two Henzeys, Mary and Suzanna, were married, the one to John Brettell, and the other to Jeremy Bago. Tyzack first appears at Oldswinford in 1615, and Tyttery in 1622. It appears to me highly probable that there was frequent intercourse · between these families and their kindred in the north, and that at this early period they were not permanently settled at either place. 1Ir. Smiles, in his ,vork on the Huguenots, mentions the Henzeys and their companions, but he does not notice their settlen1ent in "\V orcestershire and Staffordshire. From the wording of the following it is evident that he or his informant hacl seen the above-cited passage in Bourne's Newcastle. " Henzell (he says) was a foreign protestant who settled at N e"~castle about the time of the massacre of St. Bartholom~w, (1572.) He was joined by two other refugees named Tysack and Tittory, and the three estab­ lished glass-,vorks which long continued to flourish. 'ro * On the 1st of September, 1679, there was an order of the Common Council of Newcastle granting to Jacob Henzey, William Tizack, and Daniel Tittery, a lease of the westerp glass-houses, to commence at Michaelmas following. "It is observable," 8ays Brand in his History of Newcastle, (pub. 1789,) " that the Henzells and Tizacks still continue to preside over the glass works, indeed they will admit none of any other name to work with them. The Tittorys (he adds) are now extinct.''

In course of time two of the families, the Tysacks and Tittorys became extinct ; but the Henzells remained in possession of the glass-works until the con1mence1nent of the present century, ,vhen the owner died, and the works passed into other hands. lVIr. Alderson, Town Hall, l\Ian­ chester, 1narried the grand-daughter of the last O"\vner of the works of the na1ne of Henzell ; but there are other members of the family still existing in different parts of the country." 1Yir. Smiles is not correct in stating that the Tyzacks are extinct. 1Iy researches have been chiefly confined to the neighbourhood of Stourbridge, having no facility for pur­ suing my enquiries in the North; but I may mention that a branch of the Tyzack family still flourishes at Nor,vich, and that the 'fyzack Arn1s are quartered by Sir Henry Creswick Rawlinson, K.C.B., in right of his grandmother l\Iartha, (married August 14th, 1765,) only daughter of Peregrine Tyzack, of Newcastle-upon-'fyne.~:~ I learn from a letter recently received fron1 l\iir.

" One Jacob Venalini (he says) started the first glass-house in 1564, in Crutched Friars' Hall, but the heat of his furnaces set fire to the building ·and he was compelled to move elsewhere. An­ other Italian named "\~erselyn;:~ started a glass~house at Greenwich, which was long known as the ' Italian glass­ house.' A body of Flem£ngs (he continues) subsequently established a glass work at Newcastle, where the manu­ facture still continues to flourish. Two Flemings; Anthony Been and John Care, erected premises for making window­ glass in London in 1567, and the manufacture was continued by their two fellow countrymen, Brut and Appell."t

*"Francis Verzellini, son and heir of Jacob Verzellini, the-elder, esquire," was plaintiff in a chancery suit in 1621. The defendants were Peter Manning and Elizabeth his wife, :Michael Palmer and Mary his wife, and Jacob Verzellini, the younger. t The fo1lowing, from the calendar of State Papers, (Domestic) temp.

Articles touching the making of glass for glazing within the Realm, such as is made in France and Lorraine, agreed on by the queen with Anthony Becku, alias Dolin a.nd John Carre. In 1574 we find the Bishop of Chichester writing to Burghley concerning "a combination to rob the Frenchmen that made glass." The manufacture seems to have been carried on in 1565 by English workmen, under an individual named THE HENZEY, TYTTERY, AND TYZACK FAMILIES. '/

Among the Lansdowne ~S. in the British Museum is preserved a document in French, 'done at Windsor, the 9th of August, 1567,' by Antoine Becque, ali'as Dolin, and Jean Quarre (the persons referred to by 1\1:r. Smiles as "Been" and "Care.") ·They had heard by J\fonsieur Nichayson that a hint had been given to her majesty concerning their matter (establishing a glass-work), and that she ,vas agree­ able thereunto, and was satisfied with a toll. On the 8th of September, in the same year, a license was granted to these t\vo persons for twenty-one years -'' to build furnace­ houses, buildings, and other engines and instruments for melting and making of glas-s for glazing; such as is made in France, Lorraine, and Burgundy, and to put in work the said art, feat, or mystery of making such glass. After this Peter Briet and Peter Appell (the assigns and deputies of John Quarre) complained that large quantities of glass were still imported from foreign countries ; the queen, therefore, in October, 157H, renevved the license for twenty-one years, prohibiting the manufacture by other persons, and prohibit_ing the importation. The patentees were -to pay certain duties to _the queen for every case of glass manufactured, and covenanted to teach the art to "a convenient number of Englishmen.''~:~ In the year 1589 one George Long presented a petition to Cecil (Lord Burghley) for a patent for making glass, urging as an inducement that he would only have two glass houses in England (instead of fifteen), and the rest in Ire­ land; whereby the English woods "'."ould be preserved, and the Irish superfluous woods used. Long's letter to I~ord Burghley is preserved in the

Cornelius de Lannoy or de la Noye ; for Armigall Waade writes from Be1size, on the 7th of August in that year, about the progress of the manufacture of glass and pottery under that worthy, and speaks of the "clumsiness of the English glass­ makers." This Lannoy was a professed Alchemist, and apparently a great im­ postor. * Among the MS';S. preserved in the House of Lords, calendared by the Historical MSS. Commission (Repo·rt iii, p. 5) is a document dated February 16, 1584-5, being a draft of "An Act against the making of glass by strangers and outlandish men within the Realm, and for the preservation of timber and woods spoiled by glass houses." No alien was to carry on the trade of glass-making, unless hP- employed and instructed one Englishman for every two foreigners. The bill passed through all stages, but did not receive the royal assent. 8 THE HENZEY, TYTTERY, AND TYZACK FAMILIES.

Lansdowne l\tISS. (No. 59, art. 72.) "Att what tyme (he writes) that Troubles began in France and the Lowe Coun­ tryes, so that Glass could not conveniently be brought from Loraine into England, certaine glassmakers did covenaunt with Anthony Dollyne and John Carye/~ 1\1:erchants, of the said Low Countreyes, to come and make glass in England. Whereuppon Dollyne and Carye obtained the Patent for n1aking of Glass in England, in September, the IXth yeare of the Queene's l\1ajestie's raigne, for XXI yeares ensuinge, under these conditions, to teache Englishmen, and to pay custome ; which Patent was fully expired a yeare ago. Carye and Dollyne, having then1selves no knowledge, were driven to lease out the benefi.tt of their Patent to the French­ men, ,vho by no means would teach Englishmen, nor at any time paid one peny custome. Carye being dead, Dollyne took VId. upon a Gase of glass. For not performaunce of covenants, their Patent being then voide, about VI yeares after their grant, other men erected and set on worke divers glass houses in sundry parts of the Realme, and having spent the woods in one place, doe dayly so continue erecting newe "\V orkes in another place without checke or controule. About VII yeares past, your Honour called them that kept Glass houses before you, to knowe who should paye the Queene 's custome, ,vhose answere generally was, that there was no custome due, but by condicions of a speciall priviledg which no one of them did enjoye, and they not to paye cus­ tome for coraodyties made ,vithin the Realme.

Du Quesne became Decane, Baert Beard, Jorrs George, Tieubau Tewbee, &c., &c. As a modem example of the tr<1nslation of a foreign surname into English, may be mentioned the father of Mr. F. W.

He adds that he has "spoken to Dollyne as your Honor willed me," and sub­ scribes himself his honour's "poore orator, George Longe."~ Now "the Frenchmen" here alluded to, to whom Quarre and Dolin were " driven to lease out the benefitt of their patent,'' were two members of the family of Henzey. A conterr1poraneous translation " out of the originall frenche " of a most interesting document in connection with this affair, dated " the xvij daye of the monethe of April, 1568," was produced and read by 1Ir. George Bouchier Richardson at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle in the year 1853. It is an agreement between " Thomas and Balthazar de Hennezes, t esquiers, dwelling at the Glasshouses in the Vosges, in the countrie of Lorraine," and "John Chevalier, chatelain and receyvour of Fonteny-le-Chastell, as well in his owne name as of John Qua1-re, of Antwerp, at this presente. dwellyng in London." This agreement recites that the said John Quarre '' hath obteyned, as well in his name as in favour of me the said Chevalier, privi]ege and permission of the majestie of the Queen of Englande, for the term of xx yeres, to make and builde in the said countrie of Englande ovens to make great-glas, &c." And the said Hennezes thereby agree to "transport themselves, as soon as possible maybe, to the said countrie of Englande, and there to ~3:use to be l)uilded and edifyed t,vo ovens to make great-glas ; " and ,vith them to " conducte, bring, and enter­ teyne fower gentlemen glasiers ( gent£lshommes verri'ers), that is to saye two terrieures and two gatherers." And they engaged themselves to make daily in each of the said ovens, with the aid of the aforesaid gentlemen glaziers, "thirty bundells of glass, whites or coulters, goode, lawfull, and merchauntable, of good height and largenes, well propor­ tioned_,,

Whether these two persons were the ancesto_rs of the English Henzeys I am unable to say; but it is quite clear that they ,vere members of the same family. The earliest ascertained ancestor of the Stourbridge family is Ananias Henzell or Henzey, who is stated to have been " de la maison de Henzell, tout pre la village de Darnell;:~ en la pie de Lorraine.'' · The exact date of the introduction of the 1nanufacture of glass into the neighbourhood of Stourbridge has not been ascertained. The work of Becque and Quarre was certainly situated in London or its neighbourhood, as lVIr. Smiles asserts, for on the 6th of Septernber, 1568, these persons write from London to Cecil for pern)ission to cut ,vood, make charcoal, &c., in Windsor great park, and t,) convey it from thence to their works. It is ho,vever quite certain that the trade was carried on at Amblecote bej'vre 1621 ; for Edward Henzey, who died in that year, and was buried at Oldswinford, describes himself in his will as "of Amblecoat in the parish· of Old Swinford, in the county of Stafford, ,.qlass-malier." And there is no doubt that the several Henzeys, rrytterys, and Tyzacks who are 1nentioned in the Oldswinford registers in the early part of the 17th century were engaged in the same trade. Notwithstanding what ·Bourne and others say, I do not think there is any proof that glassworks existed either in the neighbourhood of Stourbridge or on the banks of the Tyne before the year 1615, or thereabouts, ,vhen a patent was granted to Sir Robert l\'Iansell, Knt., \'Tice-Admiral of England, by James I. And as Sir James possessed the ex­ clusive right of making glass in England, we are forced to the conclusion that "the Foreigners" ,vere in his e1nploy or were licensed by him. Certain it is that in 161 7 he had in his e1nploy at Newcastle a person nan1ed Ed\vard Heuzey, for in the parish registers of All Saints' in that town, which commence in 1600, is the follo\ving entry:-" Feb. 11 (1617-18) Edward Henzey, servant to Sir Robert Mansfield ( sic )t was buried."

Copious extracts from the registers of .All Saints', New­ castle, ,vill be found in the .Appendix. vVe have no evidence that Thomas and Balthazar de Hennezel, who agreed to make glass for Jean Quarre in 1568, were Huguenots ; and certainly they were not refugees, for at the date of the agreement they were residing in Lor­ raine and carrying on their trade there ; but the statement that the Henzeys, Tytterys, and Tyzacks left their native land on account of the religious persecutions has been so often repeated, and so strenuously upheld by their de­ scendants, that its accuracy can hardly~be doubted. It does not necessarily follow, however, that they were driven thence -in other words, forced to fly-for it is ,vell known that about this time thousands voluntarily left their homes and

monly corrupted into Mansfield. Sir Robert himself, on one occasion at least, signed" Robert Mannsfeild."-See a letter so signed, printed in the Gentleman's Mag­ azine for May, 1853, p. 483. Among Earl de la Wa;rr' s papers, calendared by the His­ torical MSS. commission, is a petition, dated 1623, by Isaac Bongard, for himself and other glassmakers, against the patent for making glass, lately granted to Sir Robert "Ma.unsfeild" and others-(Report IV., 283). And among the papers in the House of Lords are the following petitions :-1641, May 13, Petition of Sir Robert Mansell, Knt., Vice-Admiral of England ; has a grant from his Majesty for the sole making of glass, and for staying the importation thereof, for which be pays £1,500 a year; of late some persons have dared under colour of a complaint to Parliament to import glass. Prays for protection of his rights and for punish­ ment of the offenders. An order was made for securing his rights accordingly. · On the 21st of July in the same year Sir Robert presented another petition setting -forth that notwithstanding their lordships' order of the 13th of :May last, Richard Batson apd others had imported large quantities of glass, and, in particular, yester­ day imported 129 chests of glass, violently resisted those who would have enforced the order of the House, and have entered actions against petitioner's agent for endeavouring so to do. A few days afterwards (viz. on July 30th) Richard Batson presented a petition, from which it appears that the g1aziers of the city of London had petitioned the Commons, and that by an order of that House, of the 10th of February, 1640-1, the matters in dispute between Batson and Sir Robert had been referred to the grand committee for grievances ; and that in consequence of Sir Robert's application to the Lords, Batson was attached, and still remained in custody without a hearing. He therefore prays that his case may be referred back to the grand committee and that he may have his goods on paying the custom dues. 12 THE llENZEY, TYTTEn.Y, AND TYZACK FAMILIES. sought in England a secure asylum in which they might worship God according to conscience. And it appears to me that son1e higher object than that held out to them by Quarre must have been instrumental in inducing two " Ecuyers " to forsake their O"\VD country and settle perma­ nently in a land whose people and whose language were alike strange to them. 'rheir pious motto, " Seigneur ! je te prie garde ma vie!" which there is every reason to be­ lieve was adoped (by both Henzey and Tyzack) on their settlement in this country, has, under such circumstances, a peculiar significance. It will have been seen that Thomas and Balthazar stipu­ lated that they should bring with them " fower gentlemen" to assist them ; and Long informs us that they would " by no means teach Englishn1en." It is a pity that the names of these assistants have not been preserved, but it is quite certain that they were foreigners, and almost certain that they would be relatives of the Henzeys-some of them probably '.ryzacks and Tytterys. There is no doubt that all these persons came over " as soon as possible maybe," in accordance with the terms of the agreement ; and it necessarily follows that at this early period there were at least six foreign glassmakers in this country associated together. It seems very probable that other relatives came over subsequently, ,vho would very naturally seek employment under their own kinsmen already established here ; and probably some of the " other men" mentioned by Long, who (says he) erected "divers glass­ houses in sundry parts of the realm," were members of these families. In the t,vo adjoining parishes of Oldswinford and King­ s-,vinford, bet,veen 1615 and 1630, there were seven members of the Henzey family alone, having children. These might have been brothers (two of them, ho,vever, Joshua and Edward, we know v\7 ere only "kinsn1en "), but they might also have been cousins-several times 'removed.' It appears to me, therefore, that any attempt to connect genea­ logically the several me1nbers of these families who are mentioned in the p~rish registers in the early part of the THE RENZEY, TYTTERY, AND TYZACK FAMILIES. 13

17th century, must aln1ost of necessity fail, since it is pretty evident that n1ore than one person of each name came over here, and how nearly or ho-\v remotely related one to the other must needs, in the absence of documentary evidence, be mere matter of conjecture. rrhe -descendants of Joshua Henzey, of Amblecote, glass­ maker, who died in 1660, so far as they can be ascertained fron1 wills, deeds, and parish registers, are fully set forth in the narrative pedigree given hereafter. But what became of the descendants of J. acob, Fowler, Peregrine, Edward, Joseph, John, and Francis? And where were the children of Joshua baptized? I am inclined to agree with Bourne that they came from Newcastle into this neighbourhood, and that several of them returned. A1nong the latter perhaps ,vas Peregrine, brother of Ed,vard Henzey of Amblecote : for no trace of him is to be found at Olds,vinford or Kingswinford after the baptism of his daughter at the former place in 1620 ; and much the same be said of the others. A "Peregrine Henzey, gentleman," was buried at Newcastle in 1627, and a "Jacob Henzell, glassmaker," in 1632~'-but I must leave the history of the Newcastle branch to the investigation of others. Then there was a Nicholas Henzey, glassmaker, who died in 1695, and who had four children baptized at King­ swinford between the years 1671 and 1685. Administration of his effects ,vas granted (at Lichfield) in 1695, to Hannah, his relict ; but who his father was, and what became of his children has not been ascertained. During the 17th century the following, evidently foreign, names appear in the Oldswinford registers :-t rrompson, * In 1615 Paul, son of Jacob Henzey was baptized at Oldswinford; in 1619 Ann, daughter of Ja,cob, was baptized at Newcastle. In 1620 Jane, daughter of Peregrine Henzey, was baptized at Oldswinford; in 1626 Esther, daughter of Peregrine, was baptized at Newcastle. On April 18, 1624, Joseph, son of J nsep h Henzey, was baptized at Oldswinford ; on the 9th of May following George, son of Joseph, was baptized at Newcastle. In Nov., 1640, Joseph Hen.zey was married at Oldswinford to Rachel Henzey; in Sept, 1641, Joseph, son of Jo.seph, was baptized at Newcastle; in 1654 was buried Mr. Joseph Henzell, and in 1668 Rachell Henzell, wid~w, both at Newcastle. t I presume this family to be of foreign descent, although I find a Leonard Bere at Stourbridge as early as 1553.

Some of these may have been connections of the three families ; but others, it may be presumed, were foreigners employed in the glass-works-or cloth mills; for at that time the to\Vll of Stourbridge " stood much by clothing," a manufacture which was greatly improved in this country by foreign (chiefly Flemish) refugees.

Dud Dudley, in his llfetallum ],fartis, published in 1665, mentions an ingenious glassrnaker, Master Edward Dagney, "an Italian, living in Bristow," who about the year 1651 went with Captain Buck and others to the Forest of Dean, and there endeavoured to smelt iron in furnaces made of "glass-house clay," but failed.

Thomas, the eldest son, of Stourbridge, was born August 14 and baptized at Old­ swinford August 18, 1696, and died May 4, 1765, aged 68, leaving issue. He was, says the Rev. J. B. Sanders, " a very learned and ingenious surgeon and apothe­ cary, much esteemed by George Lord Lyttelton, as also by a very populous neigh­ bourhood, for his great success in innoculation, his personal character, and his ability in his profession.

He married Rebecca Hawkes, "of a respectable family, the descendants of whose brother live in great credit, and one, if not two of them, in opulence at D11dley."

John Bradley, his son and heir, who in 1714 dealt ,vith the san1e property, had issue an only daughter and heiress, Frances Bradley, who ,vas 111arried in 1732 to Charles Fox, Esq., of Chacombe Priory in Northamptonshire, and who (according to a pedigree in Baker's H£story of 1\Tortli­ a-niptonsliire) died in 1771 aged 68, having l1c:1d issue (,vith a son Charles Fox, Esq., ,vho died unmarried,) a daughter l\tlary, 1narried to the Rev.

The Hill family subsequently acquired the freehold from Charles Fox, Esq., 1'Irs. Wykehan1.'s brother. Dennis House ,vas formerly surrounded by an extensive park wherein ,vas an ornan1ental sheet of ,vater, but it is no,v built upon and beco1ne a populous district. The 1nansion itself is partly a ch,velling house and partly a 1nanufactory, occupied by the :Thiessrs. '.V ebb. Before concluding these introductory remarks, it is neces­ sary that I should notice the family or families, ,vho spell their nan1es Ensell, and ,vho clain1 paternal descent fron1 the Henzevs or Henzells. Althoug"h I, at one tirne, believed in the JJrobabi1£ty of this alleged descent, and even publicly asserted n1y opinion in my Heraldr.z; of Wi,rcestershi"re and elsewhere, I am now persuaded that there is no evidence whatever in support of the descent set up, save the facts that some of these Ensells were engaged in the glass-trade, and that their name resmn­ bles that of Henzell. A 1Yir. George Ensell, of Birn1inghan1 (with,. to my mind, very questionable taste, even if his claim were well founded) issues a trade card emblazoned with the Armorial Insignia of the Henzey fa1nily, and describes himself thereon as" the only lineal descendant of the De Hennezels no,v carrying on the glass-trade in England." But his information is avowedly derived, solely from the articles contributed by rayself and a gentleman ",ho signed hi1nself '' Antiquarian" to the Gentleman's 1Jf1Jgazine in 1856 and 185 7, and from certain letters ,vhich appeared at the san1e time in the " Notes and Queries" deparbnent of Aris' s Birmingham Gazette. In these last named letters (,vhich are reproduced in the Appendix to these coilections) the clairn of the Ensell fan1ily ,vas advocated by the late lYir. llenry Ensell Bourne, ·}VI.A., a schoolmaster, at Ashted, Birn1inghan1. In one of his letters he deplores the loss of a paper he once had "containing a full account of the introduction of glass into tl". ~3 country, in connection ,,,.ith ,vhich the pedigree of the family ,vas fully stated." " 1'ill ,vithiu the last thirty years (he :\vrites) a descend-. 22 THE HENZEY, TYTTERY, .A.ND TYZ.A.CK FAMILIES~ ant of De Henzell, under the firm of ' Bradley, Ensell, and Holte' (o.f Aston Hall) was an extensive manufacturer of glass at Wordsley, in the County of Stafford" ~near Stourbridge.] He further states that " Thomas de Henzell, his b1·otlter, and their companions made their first encampment at Colebornebrook, about 400 yards from The Platts, on a hill which is now in existence (!), and on which son1e remains of the old ,valls of the glass house first erected are to be seen." "I kno,v nothing (he continues) of the family of Henzey" -[His correspondent, l\:Ir. G. H. Henzell of Darlington, on the contrary, did 'not kno,v anything of the Ensell branch,' -indeed, says he, ' from your letter I am, for the first time, made aware of its existence.'] ,Villiam Ensell, M.R.C.S., is the present representative of the Ensell family : there are two other brothers, Henry and Charles, both of whon1, I believe, are abroad. Tho1nas de Henzell and his brother were nearlv related to the Duke of Lorraine-their arn1orial bearings"' confirming this." But he could not give "any description thereof." J\iir. Boun1e assumes that Thomas and Balthazar de Hennezel, who made the before-cited agreement to set -up glassmaking in this country, were brothers. Possibly they ,vere ; but there is no evidence, one ,Yay or other, in the materials before him. He also takes it for granted that it was they who enca1nped in the neighbourhood of Stour­ bridge. I greatly fear the encampment itself is a myth. And he altogether ignores the existence of the Henzeys. His remark that the Henzells ,vere nearly related to the Duke of Lorraine is certainly not " confirmed" in any way by their armorial bearings ; and the }Ir. Holt, of the firm of " Bradley, Ensell, and Holt," ,vas 1nost certainly not a 1nernber of the ancient family so long seated at Aston Hall. He came frorr1 vVigan, in Lancashire, and married Lucy 1Iary Ensell, sister of Richard Bradley Ensell, of "\V ordsley, g-lass manufacturer, by ,vhom he had an only child, l\!Iary Holt, married to George \Villiam vV ainwright, of London.

" On croit facilement ce qu 'on souhaite," but facts are stubborn things ; and I find it impossible to resist the evidence afforded by the parish registers of Old­ S"\Yinford which· clearly she,v that the family in question was long kno,vn as Insole and Ins.ull (the latter form is still corr1paratively connnon) and gradually became Ensall and Ensell. 1'here is a fa1nily of this -name, of the labouring class, at Ped1nore, near Stourbridge, ,vho have, for several genera­ tions, possessed a small freehold cottage there. rrhis family may he traced back for up,vards of a century by their to1nb­ stones in the parish churchyard, on one of which the name seen1s to read lI ensell, but the inscription cannot now be deciphered. Another, close by, records the death of Esther, wife of Silvester Ensell, in 1786, aged 62. Silvester is a favourite baptisrnal name in the Stourbridge Insole, Insull, &c., family. vVilliam, the son of Sylvester Insole ,vas baptized at Oldswinford, in 1654~ Sylvester Ensoie ,vas huried there in 1671, Joan, the ,vife of Silvester Insole, ,vas buried in 1681.

A copy of Desbois' genealogy is given in the Appendix. It will be observed that Tho1nas and Balthazar are not 111entioned therein ; but it is by no 111eans · an exhaustive pedigree. For instance, Jacques de Hennezel married, ,ve a.i·e told, Elizabeth de Hennezel in 1615, and their son 1Ioise 1narried in 1642 Anne l\Iarie de Heunezel. Hubert de Hennezel 1narried, 1570, Barbe daughter of Fran~ois de Hennezel ; and the 1nother of Elizabeth (de Thiet~'Y) wife of Claude Fran~ois de Hennezel, ,vas one lVIarthe de Hennezel. But the pedigree does not show the filiation of these persons ; hence there 1nust have been son1e branches of the fa1nily ,vhose genealogy is not given. I a1n inclined, too, to doubt the accuracy of the accou~1t given by Desbois. Of the three sons, ,vho · left issue; _ of ])idier de Hennezel, ,ve find Guillaun1e, ,vho "~-as" qualifie de noble 1-torrirne" in 1512, having a son n1arried in 1538, and a grandson 1narried in 1600 ; and Nicolas, the second son, ,vas, ,ve are told, n1arried in 1506.

It is described as a "fire bolt and fire ball," but it looks 111ore like a bar-shot ensigned ,vith a cannon ball. The 1notto is "Seigneur, je te prie garde ma vie."· l\Ir. Charles Pidcock, of "'\\T orcester, possesses an old painting upon vellun1 of these arms, crest, and motto, executed, apparently sometin1e in t_he 17th century, by one Ed1nund Blount.

The 1\Ir. Joshua Henzell or Henzey here n1entioned was buried at Olds,vinford on the 14th of April, 1660. l\'lr. Pidcock also possesses an old signet ring upon which the san1e arms and crest are engraved, and which, from the ,vay in which the acorns are represented, must either have been copied from the painting or -the painting fro1n it. I have seen at least four other ,vax iinpressions of seals bearing the Henzey anns. One is attached to documents to which Oliver Dixon of Oldswinforcl \Vas a party, and there­ fore I presume it can1e to him frorn his grandfather, John Henzey, of Haylestones in Am blecote.

H. T. !-Iill his descendant. It is an interesting fact that a seal, bearing the Henzey arms, also differenced by a 111artlet, is attached to the ,vill of Paul Tyzack, the elder, of Olds,vinford, glassn1aker, dated 1663.

The crest is nearly right, but the arms are wrong; though perhaps such a coat m·ay be borne by some German familv., of the name.~:~ I have not been able to· discover ,vhat ar1ns were borne by the rryttery ·family. Those of 'ryzack, as represented on the seal of Peregrine Tyzack 17 69, and as quartered hy the Rawlinson fa1nily are Gules, three acorns t,vo and one argent, a chief or charged with three billets sable. Berry gives then1 as "Three acorns slipped, two billets in chief; " and it appears that both Henzey and Tyzack used the same motto. The bearings granted by the College of Arn1s to Ed,vard Davison, before named, on the 9th of January 1843, on his taking the surname and arms of rryzack, are Azure, three acorns two and one or, a chief indented of the last thereon two billets sable, the ,vhole within a bordure wavy argent, a canton er1nine for distinction.

Perhaps after all du Thisac and de 'fhietry were sin1ply noms de terre, all three families being really scions of the same stock. * The surname Hensel still exists in Germany. Wilhelm Hensel, a elev-er Ger­ man portrait painter, married the sister of Mendelssohn. He had two sisters, Luise Hensel, born jn 1794, and Wilhelmine, born in 1802, both poetesses. The former was for many years one of the lady teachers at Nonnenwerth near Bonn on the Rhine. (See Notes and Qiie1·ies, 4th S. ii., 148.)

The follo"1ing genealogical account of the Henzey fan1ily, its representatives and descendants, differs in several material points fro1n that contributed by rne to the Herald and Genealog£st (vol. 1, p. 421 et seq), and also from that given by Sir Bernard Burke in his Landed Gentry, and Vis£tation of L---:'eats ancl AYm~~, under '' Pidcock.'' It is right therefore that the reader should be 1nade ac­ quainted with the follo,ving particulars by ,vay of introduc- tioo. - In the year 1856 I inserted a letter in tl~e Gentleman's 1l!lagazine requesting inforn1ation respecting the Henzeys, Tytterys, and Tyzacks, of ,vhose genealogy I then kne,v little or nothing. T,vo letters in reply to my queries, signed "Antiquarian," appeared in the J\ilagazines for Dece111ber 1856 and January 185 7 ; and a further co1nn1unication signed " ,villian1 V. Tyzack, N or,Yich,'' in the llagazine for June 185 7, supplied so1ne information concerning -the writer's family and armorial bearings. The letters of " Antiquarian" contained n1uch that ,vas valuable ; but though evidently ,vell informed on son1e points, he did not appear to possess any detailed pedigree of the Henzey family, and he kne,v nothing about the Tytterys and Tyzacks. A short ti1ne after,vards I obtained from :lYir. Bate of Kensington a pedigree of the llenzey fan1ily purporting to be " copied fro1n the J\IS. of the late John Henzey Bate, found a1nongst his papers, June 1838, by the late Robert Brettell Bate, one of his executors." Although no authori­ ties ,vere cited, this document appeared to be authentic ; and I judged that it had been co1npiled from family papers, and information supplied from n1en1ory by some me1nber of GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF HENZEY. 29 the family. It agreed, too, ju every respect, with the ac­ count (so far as it went) already published by Burke. In 1863 an interesting article in the Herald ancl Gene­ alogist on "Refugee fan1ilies in England," attracted n1y attention ; and finding that the Henzeys ,vere altogether 1u1noticed therein, I ,vas induced to for,vard the· pedigree I had received from ~Ir. Bate for publication in that periodical; and I added to it such further inforn1ation as I had then been able to collect. I ,vas not then a ,vare that subsequent to the n1atter being mooted in the Gentlenian' s jjfa,qaz£ne several letters on the same subject (of which I have only recently been able to procure copies) had appeared in .A·r£s' s B£r1n£ngham Gazette. A perusal of these letters reYivecl my interest in the matter ; and certain facts ha-ving con1e to 1ny kno,vledge which tended to thro,v considerable doubt upon some portions of the pedigree, I determined to prosecute further enquiries. I accordingly_ procured the various abstracts of ,vills and extracts fron1 parish registers ,vhich are here assen1blecl; and these docu1nents, so far fron1 corroborating the pedigree I had received from }Ir. Bate, contradicted it in several im­ portant particulars. It ,vas 1ny intention, in justice to myself, to have for­ ,varded the result of my further enquiries for publication in the Herald and Genealog£st, but the h1:n1ented death of its editor, and the consequent discontinuance of the magazine, prevented this. I ,vas, ho,vever, enabled by ·the courtesy of lvlr. Nichols' s representatives to insert a few ·necessary additions to, and corrections of n1y foriner article, in the last nun1ber of the Herald. But as I had not then completed my enquiries, I ,vas unable to correct all the n1istakes in the pedigree I had so unfortunately published. Since then I have ascertained that so far back as the year 1853, G. ,~v. Collen, Esq., Portcullis Pursuivant, ,vas em­ ployed by a n1ember of the Pidcock fa1nily to investigate the Henzey pedigree, and that a portion of the genealogy had actually been registered in the College of Ar1ns. It is scarcely necessarv to state that the t,vo detached ., . oJ portions of the pedigree so enrolled, being derived from 30 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF HENZEY

-wills, registers, deeds, and other docurnentary evidence, agree with n1y o,vn deductions. I am indebted to Mr. Charles Pidcock, of "\V orcester, for the loan of a copy of this pedigree, (certified by l\fr. Collen) and also for several interesting and valual)le papers, genealogical memoranda, &c., relating to the Henzef and Pidcock families. Among the latter is a small memorandun1 book containing the Henzey pedigree-evidently the original from ,vhich J\ilr.

lVIR. BATE' s 1nanuscript account of the Henzey family comn1ences thus :- " About the year 1600 several eminent Hugonot French protestant families einigrated fron1 Lorraine to England being persecuted by the French on account of their religious principles ; a1nongst others the Tyzacks, the Titterys, and the Henzells-the latter of whon1 brought the broad-glass trade first into England. '' Ananias Henzell, (being naturalized Henzey), born about 1570 or 1580, had t,ro sons, viz. :­ Joshua, born about 1600 or 1610. Paul, born about 1615, and supposed one other son Ananias.

Also that Joan Brettell, "b~11 w!toni tlie red lia£r came £nto tl-te family," was a "sister of John or Thon1as Brettell of Brettell." She ,vas probably a sister of the John Brettell ,vho ,vas married to J\ilary Henzey at Old­ s,vinford on the 15th of Septe1nber 1617. (See Register extracts in the A1JJJend£x.) In Burke's J7£sitat-i'ons and Landed Gentry the Henzey descent is given as above ; but it is there pos'itz:vely stated that Ananias ,vas born in 1570, Joshua in 1600, Paul in 1610, Ananias (the younger) in 1615, and 'l'homas, son of Joshua and Joan, in 1640. It is also stated that Joshua _,vas buried at Olds,vinford on the 14th of April 1660, and Joan, his ,vido,v, on the 19th of ~.,ebruary 1671-2. "~ir. Joshua Henzey," and "l\Irs.

But if the gravestone of the latter in Olds"rinford church­ yard (near the south-,vest corner of the church) is to be believed, " Joane, late ·wife of lVIr.

He was baptized at Oldswinford Aug. 28, 1603, the son of Henry Adden­ brooke, by Gertrude, his wife, whose maiden name, according to an old pedigree, was Sprat ; and the grandson of Thomas Addenbrooke by Eleanor nee Sparry. When the Heralds visited the county of Worcester in 1682-3 Nicholas Addenbrooke was summoned to appear before them and record his descent and arms, but he "disclaimed ;" as did also his son, Edward, rector of Lower Sapey. He died soon afterwards and was buried at Oldswinford Nov. 5, 1683. His will, in which he is described as" of the Lye, in the parish of Oldswinford, gent.," is dated March 18, 1679, and was prov-ed at Worcester Nov. 29, 1683, by Dorothy, his relict ancl execu­ trix:, who was a daughter of John and Elizabeth Sparry of _.\Il1blecote. Her will dated June 10, 1691 has also been inspected, but no information is afforded by it as to the relationship to the Henzey family. The wills of Henry and Thomas Adden­ brooke have been searched for without success ; but thP- will of a Roger Adden brooke, citizen and merchant-tailor, of L0ndon, dated 1600 and proved in the P.C.C. May 20, 1601, has been found. At the date of his will the testator contemplated a journey into Staffordshire "for the good of his health." He leaves a ring to Henry Addenbrooke (relationship not stated) and mentions his brother John Addenbrooke, his sister .A.lice Paille, his brother-in-law Thomas Selby, his mother Selby, his cousins, Thomas Parkes, and John Parkes, haberdasher, his son, John Addenbrooke (then under 21,) aud his brother, Leonard Addenbrooke. If his son John should die, his property was to go to bis (testa.tor's) brother Leonarc1 and his children. The Rev. Leonard Addenbrooke was at that time master of the Grammar School at Kinver, Staffordshire, near Stourbridge, where he was buried Sep. 29, 1612, and where five of his children were ba.ptjzed between 1580 and 1592. Possibly the cousinship may have been through Sparry. The will of John Sparry (father of Nicholas Addenbrooke's wife) dated 1641 is attested by Joshua. Henzey, Nicholas .Addenbrooke, and others; and the same John Sparry was one of the overseers of Edward Henzey's will. It may be added that Roger Addenbrooke, of Kingswin­ ford, a younger brother of Nicholas, married at Oldswinford Oct. 8, 1639, Anne Brettell, who was, perhaps, related to Joan, the wife of Joshua Henzey, and to the .A.ND ITS DESCENDANTS. .33 one of the churchwardens of Oldswinford in the year 1643, married Joan Brettell, and by her, who died in February 1671-2, aged 82, had the following issue:- · 1.

He mar­ ried Mary. . . , who proved his will, and is n1entioned in the ,vill of Joshua, the father, 1659-60. On the 1st of July 1679 she was administratrix of the goods of her son Elisha, and was then described as "Mary Price alias Henzey." She is also men­ tioned in the ,vill of her son John, 16 72-3, as "my mother ~Iary Price," so she was remarried to a 1\Ir. Price. John and l\Iary had issue :- 1. John Henzey of the City of London, Gent., "eldest son and heir." He made his will January 2nd 1672-3, 1vhen on his ,vay to Leghorn, and it ,vas proved in the P.C.C. July 1st 1679. 2. Elisha Henzey, of "St. Swithin's, London, bachelor," mentioned- in his brother John's will. Administration of his effects was granted 1st of July 1679 to 1\tlary Price al'ias Henzey, his mother. i. 1\tlary Henzey, unmarried on 4th April 1657 ; mentioned as the wife of Thomas Smith, in her brother John's will 1672-3.

Query also, was Joshua Bradley, who married Hannah Newborough~l at Oldswinford October 28, 1678, Mary's son ? It should be 1nentioned that this J\ilary Bradley is omitted from the pedigr~e registered in the Heralds' College].

The only evidence of the existence of Ananias Henzey who heads the pedigree, is the inscription underneath the emblazoned arms of Joshua ; and it is singular that no will or administration of hint can be found, nor does his burial appear either in the Oldswinford or I{ings,vinford registers. There was also an Edward Henzey, referred to ante p. 10, who ,vas buried at Oldswinford on July the 17th, ~621. He makes his _"_kinsman" Joshua Henzey, and his friend John Sparry overseers of his ,vill, which is dated July 12, 1621, and was proved on the 18th of February following by Sara his relict and sole executrix. This is the earliest Henzey will I have found. The testator describes himself as " of Amblecoate, in the parish of Old Swinford, in the County of Stafford, Glassmaker,'' and desires to be buried at Oldswinforcl. He had a brother Peregrine Henzey, (whose daughter Jane was baptized at Olds,vinforcl on the 26th of November 1620), a 'sister' Elizabeth Henzey, 'wido,v,' and t,vo young children, Ed-w·arcl and Jane.

* ''Mrs.Hanna Bradley, widow, was buried" at Oldswinford, May 22, 1703. On Sep. 2, 1700 Hannah Bradley of Stourbridge, widow, granted a lease of 2a. 2r. Op. of land at Word,sley, adjoining to land of Mr. Ananias Henzey, to Thomas Henzey. AND ITS DESCENDANTS. 35

~' Kinsman" is a vague tern1, but it seems probable that Joshua and he ,vere cousins german. l\ilr. Bate' s l\IS. affirms that Joshua and Joan Henzey had two sons, Thon1as and Edward, and that Thomas rnarried Frances Croker, and had fourteen children. I have already stated that Thomas and Edward ,vere the children of Joshua Henzey, the younge1·. The wife of rrhon1as Henzey, and the 1nother of his four­ teen children, ,vas Frances, daughter of \Villian1 Croker, of Sandford, Oxon, and sister ancl co-heiress of Gerard Croker, of the same place, Esquire. She was married to " Thomas Henzey, of ..-:\:mblecote, co. Stafford, gent.," at Hooknorton, Oxou., on the 1st of Dece1nber 1667, and ,vas buried at Olds,vinford on the 11th of August, 1707. Thomas Henzey was also buried there ~lay 3, 1712. It appears fro1n his will (which is dated January 9, 1709, and was proted Nov. 28, 1712) that he ,Yas seised (inter al£a) of a })iece of copyhold land, about an acre .and a half, near his glass-house in An1blecote, called " Audnam Field," which was sold to him by l\Irs. Joan Henzey, and surrendered by l\iir. Jan1es Compson, of Bewdley, and which, after his decease, "rould descend to his son, Joshua Henzey, as his ]1e1r-at- . 1a,v. " l\tlrs. \\Tilliams, one of his daughters, (of whom I have already spoken as the probable compiler of the manuscript pedigrees), gives the following extraordinary-account of her maternal ancestors the Crokers. (I copy ierb. et lit. from the original in her hand-,vriting, penes C. Pidcock, Esq.) : - " Lady \V ent\ivorth' s seat, vVater Eaten, which was·· three thousand a year, belong'd to my Grandfather Croker's famely, as did also a great many more good Est~.tes in Ox­ ford Shire. Line Ham, in Devonshire, was the Croker's seat. :Oly great-uncle, Sir Gerard Croker, married a niece of Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk. She buried my uncle, ··and after n1arried the Earl of Litchfield ; her pict_ure is now a1nong the Famely pictures at Titchfeild [Ditchley ?] in Oxfordshire." . No"r, Sir Gerard Croker, of Hooknorton, Knt., was really her great-grea,t-great-grandfather; and he died in 1577. His 36 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF HENZEY widow, nflary, certainly married a Richard Lee/~ of the same fami"ly as Sir Ed"rard Henry Lee, of Ditchley, who, nearly a century after the death of Sir Gerard Croker, (viz., in 1674) ,vas created Earl of Lichfield; but that lady was the daughter of a London mercer, John Blundell, by Alice, his wife, daughter of another mercer, Thomas Huchen; neither of ,vhom appear to have been in any way connected with the family of Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk. The Oxfordshire branch of the Croker family ,vas founded by John Croker, Esq. (father of Sir Gerard) ,vho, in 1556, received frorn Hervey No 1rroy, a grant of arn1st resembling those of the Crokers of Lineham, Devon, from whom he was probably descended. Mrs. Frances Henzey ,vas the grand-daughter of John Croker of Sandford, yotingest son of John, of Hooknorton, by Frances, his ,vife, daughter of Sir Willian1 Kingsmill, of Sidmanto1i, Knt., and Bridget, his ,vife, daughter of George Raleigh, of Farnborough, co. ,v arwick. She had five sisters, three of ,vhom (Bridget, Stuart, and Anne) died un­ n1arried ; of the others, Raleigh Vfas n1arried to John Duston, and lVIary (?) to . , . ,,riln1ot, by ,vhom she had issue San1uel Wihnot, of Oxford, bookseller. No,v a 1nomas Henzey, of A111hlecote, broad glass- 1naker, (\vho had a wife named Fra-nces), and an Edward and Benjamin Henzey, were the children of " Dorothy Henzey, of the parish of Oldswinford, ,vido,v," and are all named in her will dated March 15, 1681-2, and proved by her said son Thomas in the P. C. C. October 20, 1682. " Mrs. Henzey, widow," was buried at Oldswinford March 17, 1681-2, two days after the date of her ,vill. Besides her sons above-named, she also 1nentions her cousin "\Valter James,+ her daughter-in-law Frances, w·ife of her son * In 1587 there was a suit pending between " J obn Croker, son of Sir Gerard Croker, deceased, and Richard Lee, late the husband of the Lady Croker."

Thomas, and her grand-daughter Dorothy Henzey (after­ wards Mrs. Godwin.) The will not being properly attested, certain formalities had to be gone through before it could be admitted to probate ; and Frances, the wife of Thomas Henzey, son of the testatrix, made oath that she ,vas then aged 31, so that she was only 17 at the date of her n1arriage. It is certain, the refore, that Tho1na.s Henzey who married Frances Croker was the son of" Dorothy Henzey, widow," and that he had t,vo brothers, Ed,vard and Benjamin. Of the latter, I n1ay here state that I have found no further trace. He is not mentioned in any of genealogical memoranda nor can his will or his burial register be found. Now this Dorothy Henzey must have been the wido,v of Joshua Henzey, junr., son of Joshua and Joan. It must be admitted that there is no actual p 1roof of this, but to my mind, the circumstantial evidence is so strong that I can con1e to no other conclusion ; for if she ",.as not Joshua's widow, whose widow could she have been ? The wives of Joshua's (senr.) other sons were named respectively Anne, Katherine, and lVIary. J\ilr. Bate' s 1\1S., and all the genea­ logical n1e1noranda in l\Ir. Pidcock' s possession agree in stating that Thomas and Ed",.ard "Tere the sons of a Joshua ; and surely the baptismal nan1e at least of Tho111as' s father must have been kno""'Il to the family. Indeed, it seems to me that the compiler of the MS. pedigree, well knowing that the father of Thomas and Edward was a Joshua Henzey, hastily concluded that he was tlie Joshua who married Joan Brettell. Two J oshuas were rolled into one, and the children of Joshua and Joan ,vere transferred to Ananias.~:~

Walter Jamee, was baptized Dec. 15, 1660; Edmund, son of Walter James, was baptized April 17, 1663; and there are other entries. I have found at Worcester the will of a Walter James dated 1680. He was of Powick. He only mentions his wife, and his son Edward. · * The burial register of Joshua has not been fouBd, and I have searched in ¥ain for his will. It appears from the records of the Rolls, Ireland, XII. 354-5 that on 27 August 1667 a grant was made to a Joshua, HerLzey of the following lauds in King's County, "Cnrraghvenry, one moiety of Milltowne, and one moiety of Garvally _,, On the sa,me da,y a grant of lands in the same county was made to Ananias Henzey, son or Joshua and Joan. It seems, therefore, that Joshua accom­ panied his brother to Ireland and probably ~ed there. After his death, 38 G-ENEALOGY OF THB FAMILY OF HENZEY I think then we may venture to assert that Joshua Henzey, the son of Joshua and Joan, married a lady named Dorothy, and by her, who died in l\Iarch 1681-2, had issue three sons.~:~ 1. Thomas, who married Frances Croker, of whom here- after. 2. Edwa~d, of whom presently. 3. Benjamin, of "rhom nothing further is known.

EDWARD HENZEY, says Mr. Bate's TuIS., "lived in Mill Lane, Stourbridge, and married Dorothy Cooper, by whom he had seven children, viz. :- 1. Thomas Henzey. 2. Sarah, married to . . . l\:Ioulton. 3. Jo, married Dorothy Spittle. 4. Benja1nin, ,Yho had a son Benja1nin. 5. Elizabeth, married to John Hickman, 1mcle to Richard, the Chandler. 6. William. 7. Dorothy, 1narried to Thomas Pool of Knutsford.'' In lVIr. Pidcock's MS: "Jo." (i.e. Joshua) is stated to have had issue by Dorothy Spittle, " two daughters ;" and the husband of Sarah Henzey is stated to have been " one 1\'Ioulton or 1\'Ioulson who liv'd at Putney." Now the wife of Edward Henzey was not Dorothy Cooper, but Rose Jeston, the daughter of Edward Jeston, of Stourbridge, cloth-worker, by Rose, his wife, daughter of Richard Hickman, and the sister of Edward Jeston of the same place, mercer. Dorothy, his widow, would very naturally return to this neighbourhood where her son Thomas was Jiving. * Nicholas Henzey of Kingswinford, glassmaker, may possibly have been another son of Joshua. He died intestate and was buried at Kingswinford July 4, 1695; administration of his effects was granted in the same year to Hannah, his relict. They had the following children baptized' at Kingswinford :- 1. Joseph, baptized June 17, 1671. 2. Hannah, baptized May 11, 1678. 3. Edward, baptized April 27, 1685. A Hannah Henzey was buried at Oldswinford November 20; 1701. AND tTS l)ESCEND.A.NTS. 39

This is not a little singular, and I can only explain it by supposing that the compiler of the pedigree ltas transferred Josliua' s wife to li£s son Edward. Here are the facts. On the 10th of December, 1681, " Edward Henzey, of the parish of O1dswinford, bachelor, aged 30," obtained a licence to intermarry ,vith "Rosa Jeston, of the same parish, spinster, aged 18;" such mar­ riage to be sole1nnized '' at Astley, Shrawley, or Shelsley." The marriage duly took place at .A.. stley, on December 14, 1681. ,vhy Edward and Rose, who ,vere both of the parish of Oldswinford, should elect to be married at Astley, I cannot explain ; but I 1nay mention that there was an im­ portant fan1ily of Jarnes then seated in that parish, and it may be that ~Irs. Dorothy Henzey's "cousin," \Valter James, ,vas a memb_er of that family. The parish registers of Astley are defective from 1630 to 1670, or perhaps the marriage of Joshua Henzey to Dorothy James (?) might have been founcl there. Rose J eston, of Stourbridge, widow of Edward J eston, mentions in her ,vill, dated August 1705, and proved at ,v or­ cester in June 1710, her daughter Rose Henzey, and her son­ ·i:n-law Edward Henzey, the latter of ,vhom she n1akes one of her executors. Dorothy Hickn1au, of Stourbridge, wido,v of Edward Hickman (she was the daughter of Nicholas Addenbrooke before named) also n1entions in her will, dated July 1, 1693, her" cousin Edward Jeston, son of Edward Jeston, late of Stourbridge, mercer," and her "cousin, Rose Henzey, sister of the said Edward." Edward Jeston, the mercer, was buried at Oldswinford April 29, 1689.- He died intestate, and administration was granted in June 1689 to Rose Jeston, wido,v, his 1nother. . Ed,vard Henzey, of the parish of Oldswinford, glass- 1naker, appears in the list of "\V orcestershire Land-o,vners, dated 17 04, printed in my " Heraldry of "\V orcestershire." He ,vas buried at Olds,vinford June 15, 1718; and "Rose Henzey" (evidently his wido-\v) ,vas also buried there on the 9th of June 1726. Rose the daughter of Edward Jeston was baptized there August 23, 1662, and "Rose 40 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF HENZEY

Jeston, widow," (her mother) was buried March 9th, 1709-10. It is singular that a Rose J eston was married at Oldswinford on J\Iay 22nd 1692 to Josiah Baker; and the only remaining Rose Jeston that I have found in the Registers (which I have very carefully searched) is Rose, the daughter of IIu111phrey Jeston, who ,vas buried;:~ June 16, 1669. - The following is a list of Ed,vard Henzey' s children, baptized at Olds"inford :- 1.

In one copy an "infant of John Arden" is stated to have been buried. In the other·it is "infant of John Green." Again on the 30th of August in the same year John Newey is entered as buried in one copy, but in the other he is called John Penn. And there is a memorandum in the Register Book signed by Edward Eccleston, Rector, and Paul He?izey, churchwarden, stating that "from the yeare 1618 to this year 1673, there was some interrupcon put to the tran• scribinge of the Clarke's jO'l.l)le booke into this Parish booke."

His great grandfather, Oliver Dixon, of Dudley, ,vho ,vas a captain in the royal army during the civil ,var, married (at Oldswinford Feb. 10, 1640-1) lVIargaret Hill.

I have no,v to i:;peak of Paul and Ananias Henzey, stated in the 1\tIS. pedigrees to be the sons of Ananias, but really his grandsons, viz. sons of Joshua and J oau. I ,vill first dispose of ANANIAS. Mr. Pidcock's 1\1S. states that he settl~d in Ireland, and had a son named Bigoe. It appears from the pedigree registered in the Heralds' College that he married (before Oct. 20, 1655) a lady named Katherine, and ,vas "living at Graguefine, in the King's County, on the 13th of August, 1670." On Dec. 22, 1676, adrninistra­ tion of ceriain good and chattels ,vhich ,,rere not achninistered by Joan Henzey, executrix of Joshua Henzey "late of Kings win ford in the county of Stafford,'' ,vas granted, at Lichfield, to Ananias Henzey, of" Grayinfin," [in the bond called" Graye~-fin "] King's County, Ireland, gentle1nan, the natural and lawfhl son of the deceased. Joan, the widow of Joshua, it ,vill be remen1bered, died in 1671-2, having AND lTS DESCENDANTS. 49 made a noncupative will which was not proved until January 9, 1676. It probably became necessary at this date for one of the sons to represent his father, the execu­ trix being dead. On the 27th of August, 19 Charles II. (1667), Ananias Henzey had a grant of the following estates in King's County, '' the towne of Barnagrothy and Ballynury with the fairs thereto belonging ; the towne and castle of Ballin­ lough, and Corrahee ; Ballinry, Ballycormockan, Curraduff, and Ballinloghly alias Ballyncunine." ( Records ofthe Rolls, :Ireland, XIL, 354.) On April 9, 1668, the same Ananias, described as '' Ananias ~enzey of Somertowne, King's County, Esquire," conveyed to Thomas Buckridge, of Dublin, Esq., the castle, towns, and lands of Ballinlogh, and part of Ballycormackane which had been granted, inter alia, by patent dated 27th August last to the said Ananias Henzey." (lb. VII. 260). Ananias was succeeded by his son BrGOE HENZEY, of Barnagrotty, in King's County, whose will is dated June 23, 1732, and was proved on the 3rd of February following.

For abstracts of the records and documents from which the above account of the Irish branch has been compiled I am indebted to the courtesy of Sir Bernard . Burke, Ulster King of Arms. From the same source I learn that on 1Iay 28, 17 48, a licence was granted to John rr,viner, of the parish of St. Mary, Dublin, to intermarry with Martha Henze11 of the parish of St. Michael in the sa~e city ; and 52 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF HENZEY that Thomas Jackson of C:,;eckstown, co. Meath, whose will is dated Dec. 3, 17 50, had a daughter Elizabeth, wife of . . . . Henzall ; also that John Thornton of St. Giles' s in the Fields, London, and afterwards of Drogheda, whose will bears date Sept. 27, and was proved Dec. 6, 17 6 7, had a daughter Katherine, married to a Mr. Henzell. With regard to the baptismal name Bigoe, I find that on June 10, 1637, one Philip Biggoe, or Bigoe, a Frenchman, of Birr, in King's County, had denization, ( Rot. Glaus. 12, 13, f. R. 39) ; and that a Philip Bigoe was High Sheriff of King's County in 1662. Mary dau. of the latter, was married to Col. John Eyre, of Eyre Court, co. Galway. Katherine, the wife of Ananias Henzey, was, no doubt, a member of the same family. The name, too, occurs twice at Oldswinford. In 1619 Jeremy Bago~' was m. there to Suzanna Henzie; and on Dec. 9, 1655, Abraham the son of Abraham Bigo was baptized. I also find at Oldswinford the burial, in 1690, of "Ananias, the son of Bigo Henzey," who must I think have been a son of the Irish Bigo, for there was_ no Henzey bearing that baptismal name at Stourbridge.

The children of P .AUL HENZEY, (son of Joshua and Joan) are thus set forth in :lYlr. Bate's 1\'IS. :- " 1. Ananias, who m. Elizabeth J eston, and had 3 sons and 1 dau., viz., Paul, John, Joseph, and Sarah ; 2. Paul Henzey ; 3. Sarah, who m. John J eston, by whom she had Mary Jeston who married Francis Homfray,t * Jeremy Bagg was a glass-maker, and appears to have carried on his trade at Greenwich, in partnership with one Francis Bristow. In 1641 these persons were served with an order of the House of Lords, at the :irultance of Sir Robert Mansell, the patentee for glass, "but (it is added) they continued making glass in contempt of the order." In the following year (May 16) they presented a petition to the House, setting forth the "grlevollS wrongs and insults they had Sllffered at the hands of Sir Robert Ma.nsell," and that they had attended the HollSe on several occasions with very great loss. They therefore pray that a, day may be fixed for the hearing of their ca.use, and that in the mean time they may be permitted to work at their trade without further molestation. t Francis Hom.fray was the eldest son of Francis Homfray, of Wales, near Rotherham, co. York. His next brother, Thomas, married Anne, dau.. of John Revell, of Chesterfield, (by Juliana, his wife, sister of Sir Samuel Clarke, Knt., sheriff of London, in 1712), and by her was ancestor of the Homfra.ys of co. Nor-. folk (See Nichols's Leicestershire IV. 602., 725., and Burke's L(JRl,ded Gentry). Francis AND ITS DESCENDANTS. 53 by whom she had, Jeston H. Francis H., Thomas H., John H., Rachell H., Fran~es H., Ann H., Eliza H., and Jane H. Jeston Homfray, m. a -Cotton, and had children. Francis married, and had J eston and Mary by his first wife; and by his second, several children. Thom~s married a Jones of Bristol. John married Mary Addenbrooke, by whom he had a son John. Rachell married a Vernon of Bromsgrove. Frances unmarried. Ann m. a Lunn of London. Eliza m. . . . . Sheffield. Jane married Rev. J\'Ir.- Male." Mr. Pidcock's MS., adds that Paul Henzey had another daughter, " Jenny, who died unmarried," and that he " died at Wormwood Bank.'' This again is not quite accurate.

PAUL HENZEY had more children than those here enume­ Homfray was an iron master; and had a forge at Oldswinford called the " Royal Forge," also a slitting mill. at Gothersley, and a forge at Swindon. His will is dated Feb. 9, 1733, and he was buried at Oldswinford March 17, 1736-7. The Homfray pedigree is given in Burke's Commoners and Landed, Gentry. It is, there· fore, unnecessary to reproduce it here. At the same time a few notes, derived from authentic sources, may not be deemed out of place. Mary J eston ( daughter of John, not Thomas J eston, as in the Landed, Gentry) was the second wife of Francis Homfray. His first wife was Sarah Baker, and by her, who was buried at Oldswin­ ford July 29, 1715, he had five daughters bapt. at Oldswinford, three of whom died young. The survivors were, Sarah, born Nov. 8. and bapt. Nov. 22, 1705, married Aug. 10, 1725, to William Bowyer; and Mary, born June 11, and bapt. July 2, 1712, who appears _to have married her cousin Francis, son of Thomas Homfray. By Mary Jeston, to whom he was m. in 1717., he had (1) Jeston (not bapt. at Old­ swinford) whom. Mary Anne, dau. of Thomas Cotton, (2) Francis, born Sep. 9, and ba.pt. Sept. 22, 1726; father (among others) of Sir Jeremiah Hom.fray, Knt., for whose issue a.nd descendants see Landed, Gentry. (3) Thomas, bapt. Oct. 25, 172-8, married Elizabeth, dau. of Edmund Jones. (4) John, bapt. July 2, 1731, m. in 1758, Mary, daughter and co-heir of Jeremiah Addenbrooke, of Kingswinford (grandson of Roger Addenbrooke, mentioned ante p. 32} and had an only child John Addenbrooke Homfray, b. 1759, of Wollaston Hall, who, in 1792, assumed the surname and arms of Addenbrooke, and was High Sheriff of Worces­ tershire in 1798. He was grandfather (by Elizabeth, his wife, daughter of Michael Grazebrook, of Audnam,) of the present Rev. Edward Addenbrooke, vicar of Smeth­ _wick, co. Stafford. The daughters of Francis Hom.fray a.nd Mary J eston were (i) Rachel, born Aug. 23, and bapt. Sep. 13, 1719; m. June 6, 1753, to Thomas Vernon, of the Hanbury family. (ii) Frances, born Sep. 12, and bapt, Sep. 27, 1720. (iii) Ann, born Oct. 22, and bapt. Oct. 30, 1721. (iv) Elizabeth, born Sep. 20, and bapt. Oct. 3, 1722, m. to Joseph Kenyon, of Sheffield. (v) Jane, bapt. March 21, 1726-7. I have no present means of testing the accuracy of the statements in the text as to the marriages of An:n and Jane, but may mention that Thomas Edwardley and Ann Homfray were married at Oldswinford May 22, 1744. 54 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF HENZEY rated; and the "rife of John J eston ,vas Mary not Sarah.

On April 15, 1650, Elizabeth the daughter of Paul Henzey was bapt. at Oldswinford; on J\llay 23, 1663, " Jone, the daughter of Paul Henzey and Anne his wife " ,vas bapt. at Kingswinford ; on Aug. 2, 1673, Joseph the son of" Mr. Paul Henzey" ,vas buried at Oldswinford; and in the same year Paul Henzey ,vas one of the cht1rch­ wardens.

* Ann, the daughter of John and Mary Holden, was bapt. at Oldswinford Feb. 11, 1757. Nichols (Leicestershire, IV., 926) informs us that Thomas Holden, of Erdington and Aston, 1761, (the descendant of an ancient family long seated there) left his estates to a John Holden, of Oldswinford, between whom and the testator, no relationship has ever been traced ; it being generally believed that "he fixed upon him in regard to the name only." T4is John married Mary Box, of Chaddesley Co~bett, and afterwards resided upon his estate at Erclington. In the Gentleman's Magazine for :May 1814 is the following obituary notice of Mrs. Joseph Brettell :­ " At Bromsgrove, the wife of Joseph Brettell, Esq., of that place, and daughter of the late John IIolden, of Erdington, co.

A FE\V NOTES on the ancestry of the brothers John and Thomas Brettell, who respectively married Anne and Sarah Henzey, may not be deemed out of place. The family have a tradition that they also are of ]?rench descent ; and it may be mentioned as a son1ewhat singular coincidence that a Norman family named de B1·eteuil or Brettev-tlle is recorded to bear for arms, " D' azur, a trois glands d'or"-a coat closely resembling that of Henzey. The French Armorials mention also several noble families named B1·etel. One-of Champagne-bore "D'argent a trois merlettes de gueules, 2 et 1, au chef d' azur charge cl'une etoile cl' or ;" and another, of Gren1on­ ville, in N or1nandy, ,vhose pedigree is given by Desbois, bore (I copy his blazon) " D' or, au chevron de gueules, charge d'une fleur-de-lis cl' or en chef, et accompagne de trois 1uolettes d' azur, et charge d'une couleuvre d' argent contournee." Rietstap gives the bearings of the same fan1ily as Or, a chevron gules chargecl with a fleur-de-lis argent Let,veen three 111nllets (of five points) azure, on a cl1ief of the last a fish (" 1101n111e Bretel ") naiant, also argent. Crest: A demi-lion ran1pant proper. lVIoule, in his Heraldry of Fi"sli, also notes these arn1s, and aclds that the chief is by some branches charged ,vith an eel, and by others ,vith a lar.aprey or a sahnon. The farnily before us seerns never to have used any arms, save, latterly, tho~e of Henzey; though Thomas Brettell, AND ITS DESCENDANTS. 75 senr., the husband of Sarah Henzey, sealed with Azure, three lions rampant . . . , impaling . . a lion rampant; and others of the fan1ily ,vith the crest, A demi griffin. The only coat recorded to· the narne in the College of Arms is a grant of a quarter£ng for Brettell made in 1850 to Mr. Willia111 Ed \Vards, of Ludlow, on his assurning, by royal licence, the surnan1es of Brettell-Vaughan, and the arms of Brettell and Vaughan quarterly, in compliance with the ,vill of his uncle J anns Brettell-Vaughan, of Bur,vay, Salop. Mr. Ed,vards produced on this occasion the anns of 1Vi"lnier, (as used by the descendants of Tho1nas Brettell and Ann nee ,Vilmer, his wife, vide ante p. 46) under the impression, probably, that they were the true ar1ns of Brettell. But nothing being found to justify the bearing by the Brettells of a coat ,vhich clearly belonged to another family, the Heralds granted a new coat, founded, ho,vever, upon that of Wilmer, viz., Azure, two chevronells bet,veen as many eagles displayed in chief and a crescent in base or. If the tradition of a French descent has any other foundation than the accidental similarity of narnes, the Brettells must have settled in this country before any of the religious persecutions : for the name of Roger Bretyl (in another place called Brethul~ appears in a rental of the Abbey of Haleso,ven, dated 15 Henry VII., as a tenant of lands in Romsley, where the family now under notice resided in the 17th century. And indeed as early as 1414, one J. Bredliull is mentioned in Sha,v's Stajfordsh£re in connexion with Kingswinford. In this last named parish ,vas a place called Brettell, sometimes (but I think corruptly) written Brtghtwell and Britwell, and there in former times d,velt a family of the ~;tme, of which, it would seen1, John Brettell, who in 1617 married l\Jiary Henzey, and Joan, the wife of Joshua Henzey, were members. The na1ne is still preserved in the road called "Brettell Lane-'' leading to Dudley. The name of Brettell is very common in the neighbour­ hood of Stourbridge, Kingswinford, Dudley, &c., and it also · 76 GENE.A.LOGY OF THE FAMILY OF HENZEY

occurs frequently in the parish registers of W ol verley, near Kidderminster. In 1586 George Haynes, of Grafton Flyford, ,vas 1narried at ,v olverley to Margaret Brettell ; in 1589 Thon1as, the son of Anthony and Elizabeth Bret.tell, was baptized there ; and in the same year \Villian1 Talbott and Jane l3rettell were married. The narne first appears at Oldswinford in 1610, when Richard Brettell and Isabel South,vicke ,vere n1arried. At Clent in 1616, Elizabeth, the daughter of Richard Brettell, was baptized; and doubtless the nan1e might be found at an equally early period in several aqjoining parish registers.

* The very palpable mistake here has been already referred to (p. 25). M. Desbois informs us (ante, p. 94) that Nicolas, the 2nd son of Didier, was married to Cathin de Raincourt in the year 1506; and yet he here states that Georges appointed the same Nicolas executor of his will which was made in the year 1600 ! If it is a fact that the executor of Georges' will was "Nicolas de HeDnezel, Seigneur de Viomesnil, son frere," it is clear that the brother in question was Nicolas II.-in other words, that Georges was the son and not the brother of the first ::Kicolas of the Champigny line. But even the second Nicolas must have been a very old man in 1600, seeing that his parents were married nearly a century before. Georges is stated to hav-e married, in the year 1565, Claudine de Montagu, but Claude de Hennezel (see p. 89), who, according to Desbois, was Georges' nephew, is stated to have married a, lady of the same christian and surnames in the year 1538.

The descendants of John J eston by lVIary, his wife, daughter of Paul Henzey, are fully set forth ante p. 56 et seq.; but nothing has been there said about his parentage, nor have I suggested in what way he was related to Elizabeth J eston, of Hagley, who espoused Ananias Henzey, or to Rose Jeston, the wife of Edward Henzey. These matters are perhaps of no great importance; but inasmuch as n'lr. Pidcock's papers contain an account of the family and connexions of Elizabeth, the wife of Ananias Henzey, which, like several other statements in the same papers, will not stand the test of a critical examination, I have thought it advisable to institute some researches into the history of the Jeston family. This family, I find, existed in the neighbourhood of Stour­ bridge before 1602/:~ when the parochial records cornrnence, and without the aid of such records it is extremely difficult to compile a complete pedigree. John J eston vvho 1narried J\1ary .Henzey was most clearly the" John son of Humphrey J eston" who was baptized at Olds\vinford Feb. 7, 1056-7. Humphrey was the son of another Humphrey,t of Stour­ bridge, who, as we learn fron1 _Roger J eston' s ,vill, dated 1622 (an abstract of which is given hereafter), ,vas the son of Willian1 J eston son1etime of Birmingham!, and after­ ,vards of London, blacksmith. It is almost equally clear that the wife of Ananias Henzey was the daughter of John J eston, of Hagley, and * "Thomas Geston, of Oldswinford, and Margerye Hodginge, of this parish," were married at Wolverley, co. Worcester, in 1584. t In 1644 Humphrey Jeston and John Leech, both of Stourbridge, presented a petition to the Parliament asking for the restitution of three horge.5 which bad been taken from them by the troopers. (See Hist. MSS. Com. Rep. IV., 2i2) The Roundheads were in Stourbridge in the month of June 1644. :I: The following entries occur in the parish registers of St. Martin, Birming- ham:- 1557, June 22, Edward Jeston and Joan Perison, married. 1578, Sept. 4, William, son of William Jeston, baptized. 1580, Nov. 8, John, son of Wrnia,m Jesson, bl1ptized. THE FAMILY OF JESTON. 149 the sister of another John J eston, of the same place, who ·was the father of Susannah Barrett-of whom I shall have occasion to speak presently. rrhe first-narnecl John J eston was living at Hagley, in 1672.;:~ He ,vas the son of John and Elizabeth Jeston, and the grandson of vVillian1 J eston, all of Hagley, and he had three brothers and one sister, viz., Thon1as, of Stourbridge, Roger, of Kidderminster, Edward, also of Stourbridge, (father of Rose the ,vif'e of Ed\vard Henzey) and Elizabeth, married to ,~Villia1n Ke1npsey.

But in what ,vav. .; the above-named William J eston, of Hagley, ,vas related to his na1nesake of Binningharn, or how they ,vere both related to Roger Jeston, the ,Yealthy London haberdasher, ,vho refers to them in his ,vill as his kinsn1en, I a1n unable to sav. This Roger J eston ,vas anative of Kinver, near Stour­ bridge, and he had a brother Ecl\vard, of vV andsworth, Surrey. His ,vill, a copy of ,vhich I have procured from Somerset House, supplies so 111uch genealogical inforn1ation, and is at the sa111e tin1e so generall-11 interesting in consequence of the testator's nun1erous charitable bequests, that I ,vas sorely tempted to print it £n extenso. Bnt its length pre­ cluded n1_e. I have, nevertheless, given a very full abstract of its contents ; and I have also appended brief genealogical abstracts of all the other J eston ,vills I have been able to find, as well as copious extracts fron1 the Oldsvvinford registers. The Stephen Cheston, ,vhose nan1e first occurs in these registers in 167G, ,vas probably not a n1en1ber of this fa1nily, but, as ,vill be seen, 1nany of his descendants are called Jeston and Jesson therein. ri-'he statement in the Pidcock papers is as follows:- " John Jes ton, of Hagley, had children, Rd. ,Jes ton, Elizb. J cs ton, Susannah Jes ton. 1. Richard Jes ton marrd. a Bissell, by whom he had Elizabeth Jes ton, who marrd. Samu Pl Case, by whom had Richd. Case, who was heir to l\Irs. Barrett. 2. Elizabeth Jeston, marrd. Ananias Henzey. * John Jeston was present at a Court Baron of the manor of Hagley, holden May 1, 1672, and certain land then surrendered is described as bounded on one side by " the lands of John J eston." 150 THE FAMILY OF JESTON.

3. Susannah J eston, marrd. Francis Barrett, at Broseley, by whom she had a son who went to uncle Pope at Madeira, and was heir to Pope's fortune, wh. was 30 or 40 thousand pounds. Her son, John, died in J\iadeira and left near all his fortune to his mother, who, dying, lt:ft near all her fortune to Richard Case as above." Another version, ( communicated to me some years back by a connexion of the family) affirms that John J eston, of Hagley, 1narried Sarah ( s£c) daughter of Paul Henzey, and by her had issue (1) Richard J eston whose daughter married San1uel Case, and ,vas the mother of Richard Case ; (2) J.Vlargaret, married to Janies PnJJe, and died 1750, aged 69 ; ( 3) Susannah wife of Francis Barrett, died 17 52, aged 72 ; and ( 4) Mary, 1narried to Francis Homfray. This is confusion worse confounded ! The writer has confounded ,John J eston, of the Heath, husband of Mary [not Sarali as all the 1\1S. accounts call her J Henzey, with John, of Hagley ; and finding Mr. Pope described as an uncle of l\!Irs. Barrett's son, he jumps to the conclusion that liargaret Pope ,vas another daughter of John J eston. ,Vhether the latter ,vas really the case I cannot certainly say, but no such daughter is referred to in the will of John J eston, of Hagley, nor, it will be observed, is her existence rnentioned in the account given in Mr. Pidcock's papers. ~f rs. Pope and Mrs. Barrett were two widow ladies who lived together at Broseley, Salop. Their portraits are in the possession of lVIr. B. Bate, and formerly belonged to John Henzey Bate, his uncle. Two other portraits of the same ladies (probably copies) were in the possession of the late Revd. Thomas Housn1an, of Catshill, and on the back of one of them ,vas written " ..Jfrs. Margaret Pope, the widow of James Pope, of J.lfadeira, 1nercha·nt. She was s£ster to J.l1i·s. Susannah Barrett, of Broseley, Salop, and li"ved ancl cliecl u,ith her there, 26th Aug., 1750, aged 69." This inscription is of course entitled to sorne considera­ tion ; bnt it does not follovv that the ,vorcl sister here be­ tokens that these t,vo ladies ,vere the children of the same parents. 1\.nd I think it ,vill be found that they were really sisters in laio, 1Irs. Pope being a Barrett, not a J eston. T:EtE FA.:MitY OF JESTON. 151 Fact and fiction are most curiously blended in the extract I have given from l\Ir. Pidcock's papers. It is a fact that Francis Barrett, of 13roseley, ,vas n1arriecl at Oldswif?/ord on the 16th of February, 1712-13, to Susannah Jeston, and that the lady was a ~aughter of John Jeston, of Hagley. But inasrnuch as she died (as we learn from an inscription in Broseley church) in 17 52 at the age of seventy-two, she must have been born in 1680, the very year in which Ananias Henzey was married to her alleged sister. Again, I find from the Oldswinford registers that "Richard, the son of Samuel and Elizabe.th Case," ,vas born April 9, and baptized April 11, 1711, £.e. nearly two years before his alleged great-aunt was married l The wills of John Jeston, of Hagley, and of his son J0hn, of Halesowen, shew that the former had t,vo sons, Richard and John, and four daughters, Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary, and Susannah ; and it is perfectly clear that it was this ~usannah who was married to Francis Barrett, since John, ·of Iiales­ owen, refers in his will to John Barrett as his nephew. Samuel Case was an apothecary at ,Varwjck. He died intestate about 1721, in which year administration of his effects was granted to Elizabeth Case, his relict. This Elizabeth was undoubtedly the sister of Mrs. Barrett-the Elizabeth, in fact, who is stated to have married Ananias Henzey : consequently Richard Case was the nephew and not the grand-nephew of ~irs. Barrett. I find the name of Richard J eston as a landowner at Hagley in 1704. He may, as stated, have " married a Bissell," but it is pretty certain that he died childless. vVith regard to "uncle Pope." I have already expressed an opinion that -}Irs. Pope was the sister of 1Ir. Barrett and not of his wife Susannah. If, as is stated, she was aged 69 at her death she and J\ilrs. Barrett ,voulcl be about the san1e age. She died intestate, aud on the 6th of October, 17 50, administration of her goods ,vas granted to Thomas Matthews, her "cousin-german and next of kin," although Mrs. Barrett was then living. The will of James Pope, of Madeira, merchant, is dated THE FAMILY OF JESTON.

April 20, 1742. He appears to have been very wealthy; and ,vith the exception of several handsome bequests, including an annuity of £300 to l\iargaret his ,vife, £300 to his " si"ster Susannah Barrett, of Broseley," and an estate at Tulanachty, in vVales, to his cousin Francis Pope, of Rhode Island, he leaves all he has to his -"nepliew John Barrett, native of Broseley, but now resident in lVIadeira," and to his heirs ; and failing such heirs, to the fan1ily of Pope his Dvvn relations. He appoints as executors the said John Barrett, and Thomas Beckford, of London, merchant. The ,vill of John Barrett, "native of Broseley, merchant in 1fadeira," bears date Dec. 4, 17 46, and the executors nan1ed therein having renou~ced, administration with will annexed \Vas granted Oct. 31, 17 4 7, to Susannah Barrett, the mother, next of kin, and· one of the residuary legatees. Mr. Barrett leaves numerous legacies amounting in the whole to about £10,000, including £1,000 each to James Pope's t\:vo sisters then residing in Bristol, £1000 to each of Uaptn. Francis Pope's two daughters, of Rhode Island, £400 to each of the fan1ily of ~.,rancis Hon1fray, of Old­ S\vinford, and £ 1000 to his Kinsman J\!Ir. John J\!Iatthews, of Broseley. The residue he leaves to his "dear and loving mother" Susannah Barrett, and to his "loving aunt J\iargaret Pope, now residing at Broseley," and after their decease ( failing legitimate heirs) to John Brown, of Brindle, 1:4:sq., and his heirs. lYirs. Barrett died, as stated, in January 1752-3, and a few months afterwards Richard Case obtained administra­ tion of the unadministered personal estate of John Barrett, as next of kin-Mrs. Barrett, ~1rs. l)ope, and John Brown being dead. ~1rs. Barrett no doubt died intestate, for I have sought in vain for her ,vill not only in Lon

"Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Susannah Barrett Who died 16th January, 1752, aged 72. The benevolence of her disposition Shewn in her unaffected piety and liberal hospitality Justly endeared her to all her neighbours. Her fortune, which was considerable, She distributed ,vith a bountiful hand Among her numerous relations ; One of whom, out of gratitude, Hath erected this marble."

Richard Case was a gentleman of position and import­ ance. He was mayor of the city of Worcester in 17 48, and High Sheriff of the county in 1761. He died, as appears from his monument in Powick church, Worcester­ shire, Dec. 16, 177 4, aged 63, having had issue by Anne, his wife, daughter of Joseph ,,r eston, of Worcester, (,vith a son, who appears to have died unn1arried) several daughters, one of ,vhom, Susannah, was married to Nicholas Lechn1ere-Charlton, Esq., of Ludford Park. Mr. Case's will, in which he is described as of Powick, and of Hanley Hall, co. Worcester, is dated April 4, 1773, and was proved in the P.C.C. Jan. 20, 1775, by his daughter Penelope, the sole executrix. He refers in his will to his lands at Hagley and to other estates in Hanley Castle, Welland, Upton-on­ Severn, &c. Upon his monument at Po wick are displayed the following armorial bearings, Quarterly 1 and 4, Argent, a chevron between three griffin's heads erased gules, for Case ; 2 and 3, Azure, a fesse embattled or between three cock's heads erased argent, for Jeston ; impaling Or, an eagle displayed sable, for U7eston. ·· The coat here quartered for J eston is that of the family of Jesson, of Coventry, and London, latterly of Langley Hall, co. vVarwick, and ,vas borne by Sir vVilliam J esson, of Coventry, who was knighted in 1668. Possibly the Stourbridge Jestons may be descended from T 154 THE FAMILY OF JESTON. a common ancestor with the Coventry family-and it is note,vorthy that Le Neve, in recording the knighthood of Sir vVilliam, calls hirn " J esson, or Jeston ;" but this ..would not give them a right to- bear the same arn1s, for if Burke ( General A1~-rnor,?J) is correct, they were granted to the Coventry family in 1635, and could only be lawfully used by the descendants of the grantee. Another family of Jesson, claiming to be a branch of the Coventry family, but traceable only to a Nicholas J esson of Westbromwich co. Stafford who died in 1626, used the sa1ne ar1ns ; but one of the fan1ily has recently acquired a grant from the Heralds' College of a coat and crest differ­ enced from the older bearings. One branch of this family was lately represented by the Rev. Cornelius Jesson, lYI.A., rector of En ville, Staffordshire. It may be added that the family of Jeph.son of Froyle, Rants., and that of Jephson of co. Dorset, Bart. have" us~d since the Protectorate (as Burke informs us) the ar1ns of Jesson." v,rhy, it is difficult to explain, for they entered a totally different coat at one of the Hampshire Visitations.

( From tlie " Gateshead Observer," 1853.J

At a meeting .of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle held on Wednesday, Mr. George Bouchier Richardson read a paper on the Introduction of the Glass manufacture on the Tyne. Having devoted a few pages t0 the origin and general history of the manufacture of glass, he descended to local particulars, comrnencing with a payment of .11/6 in 1554 " for a cradle of glasse " for the Merchants' Court of Newcastle. In 1585, William Huntley, Newcastle Merchant, imported " one cheste of glasse " by the Fortune of Accarstott ; and Henry Chapman, nine chests, by the Falcon of London. In May 1594, the corporation paid 32 /9 " for a cheste of glasse for mending the glass windows in St. Nichol's churche so far as the steeple reachethe." In this century the manufacture was intro­ duced into England, and Mr. Richardson gave some inter­ esting documentary evidence on the subject. In the Landsdowne Collections in the British Museum there is a paper in French " done at Windsor the IX of August 1567," by Antoine Becque, alias Dolin, and John Quarre. They had heard by Monsr. Nichayson that his lordship had hinted to her 1\Iajesty concerning their matter, and that she was agreeable thereunto, and was satisfied with a toll. His lordship should have their " never ending thanks," and the more substantial reward for life of "the half-penny of every ten pence that they should sell." In 1568, the following important undertaking was entered into :~ " We, Thomas and Balthazar de Hennezes, Esquiers, dwelling at the Glass-houses in the V osges, in the countrie of Lorraine, John Chevalier, Chastelain and Receyvour of F onteney le Chastell. "I, the said Chevalier, as well in myn owne name as of John Quarre, of Antwerp, at this presente dwellyng in * Vide ante, p. 9. GLASS-MAKING TN ENGLAND. 171

" That is to say, that for us, our heirs, successours, and assignes, we have made, and doe make, by this presentes, the associations, pro1nisses, and covenantes following : That is to say, though it soe be that the said John Quarre hathe obteyned, as well in his name as in favour of me, the said Chevalier, privilege and permission of the Maiestie of the Queen of Englande, for the term of XX yeres, to make and builde in the said countrie of Englande ovens to make great glas, and to use the commodyties of the said countrie, as more at large is conteyned in the said permission. " We, the said Thomas and Balthazar de Hennezes, Esquires, shalbe bounden to transporte ourselves as sone as possible maybe, to the said countrie of Englande, and there to cause to ·be builded and edifyed two ovens to make great glas, and with us to conducte, bring, and entertayne fower gentle~en glasiers; that is to saye, two terrieures and two gatherers, and with their ayde to make every daye, in eche of the said ovens, the quantitie of thirtie bundells of glas,­ whites· or coulters, goode, lawfull, and merchauntable, of good height and largenes, well proportioned; so that we.be not detyned by sicknes or urgent letts.

Like­ wise, we, the said Quarry, Chevalier, and fellowes have promysed to make all dutie and diligence to distribute and sell, as well to the said countrie as otherwaies, the said glas, comynge of the said glasiers, to the greatest profytte that we faythfully, equitablie, and to the partable 172 :GLASS-MAKING··IN ·ENGLAND. charges of ~he cqmpanye. .And of the -whole thereof, the said Quarry and Chevalier shall be bounde to keep a goode an_d lawfull accompte, as well as the charges that they shall have furnished, be it in carriage, guidinge, wages of _servau.ntes, or other lyke charges convenable and neces­ sarye for the said glas, that shalbe donne, for sixte monethes to sixe monethes the whole faythfully and loyally accompted ; and shalbe levied of the firste, all the charges disbursed by the said Quarry and Chevalier. " And _of the residue of the profitt that God by His grace shall give, we the said Hennezes working at two ovens, will levie twoo hundreth crownes every yeare, that. is to saye, from sixe monethes to sixe monethes, for recompense of our thirde of the glas, as have the other glasiers, which shalbe payed at the charges of the companye, as it is above agreed. And as for the surplus of the said profitt, yt shalbe parted and devyded by equall porcion-that is to saye, th' one halfe to us the said de Hennezes, and th' other to the said Quarry, Chevalier, and ffellowshipp. And the foresaid contracte of the said ffellowshipp shall endure by the space of nyne yeares begynning from the daye that the said de Hennezes shall worke of the said ovens and glas. " The which promisses, covenaunts, associations, and agreements afforesaid, the whole accordinge to the pointes and clauses above-written, we, the said Esquires and Chevalier, as well in my name as the said John Quarry, have promyssed and do promyse in good fayth by-theis presentes, upon obligacion of all our goodes wheresoever ; for the whiche we have bounde ourselves th' one to th' other ever to kepe, observe, and enterteyne, anythinge whatso­ ever to the contrarye. " And in wytness of the truth, we have subsigned theis our signes manuele, the xvij daye of the monethe of April, 1568, after Easter. '' So subsigned, " Thomas de Hennezes, ;:~Balthazar de Hennezes." • This is a contemporaneous transla.tioia. " out or the original frenche." (Letter from Mr. Richardson to :Mr. H. Pidcock.) H. S. G. GLASS-MAKING IN ENGLAN-D.

When Mr. Richardson had done reading this interesting document, some remarks were made by members on the name of Hennezes, now corrupted into Henzel!, and still . surviving on the Tyne. He then went on to read a com­ munication made by George Longe, in or about 1589, to Lord Treasurer Burleigh, in which we have the aforesaid " John Quarre " approaching a little nearer to the m~dern "John Carr" or :' Carey." Longe thus wrote to Cecil :- " To the right honourable the Lord Burleighe, Lord Treasurer of England. "Att what tyme that Troubles.began in France and the Lowe Countryes, ·so that Glass could not conveniently be brought from Loraine into England, certaine Glass-makyrs - did covenaunt ,vith Anthony Dollyne and John Carye, merchants of the said Low Countryes, to come and make Glass in England. Whereuppon Dollyne and Carye obtained the Patent for rr1aking of Glass in England in September, the IXth yeare of the Queene's J\tlajesti~'s raigne, for xxi yeares ensuinge, under these conditions, to teache Englismen and to pay custome ; 'which Patent was fully expired a yeare ago. · "Carye and Dollyne, having themselves no knowledge, . were driven to lease out the benefitt of their Patent to the Frenchmen, who by no ~eans would teach Englishmen, nor at any time paide one peny custome. Oarye being dead, Dollyne took Vld. upon a case of Glass. " For non performance of covenants, their Patent being then voide, about VI yeares after their Grant, other men erected and set on worke divers Glass-houses in sundry parts of the Realm, and having spent the Woods in one place, doe dayly so continue erecting newe W orkes in another place without checke or controule. " About vii yeares past, your Honor called them that kept Glass-houses before you, to knowe who should paye the Queene's custome, whose answere generally was, that there was no custome due, but by condicions of a speciall pri viledg which no one of them did enjoye, and they not to paye custome for comodyties made within the Realme .. 174 GLASS-MAKING IN ENGLAND. Thus hath her Majestie beene deceived and still. wilbe Vvithout reformation. " I most humbly desire your Honor to grant me the like Patent, considering my pretence is not to contynue the making of Glass still in England, but that therbye I maye effectually repress them. And wheras ther are now fifteen Glass-houses in England. Yff it so like your Honor (granting me the like Patent) to enjoyne me at no tyme to keepe above ii Glass-houses in England, but to erect the rest in Ireland, whereof will ensue divers commodityes to the commune wealth, according to the effect of my former Petition. · " The Woods in England will be preserved. '' The superfluous Woods in Ireland wasted, then which in tyme of rebellion Her Majestie hath no greater enemy theare. " The Country wilbe much strengthened, for every Glass­ house wilbe so good as twenty men in garis~n. " The country wilbe sooner brought to civilitye, for many poore folke shalbe sett on worke. "And wheras her 1\'Iajestie hath now no peny proffitt, a double custome must of necessity be paide. Glass be transported from Ireland to England. " ~lay it please your Honor to be gracious unto me, and God willing, I will putt in sufficient securitye not only to performe all things concerning the Patent, but allso (thank­ fully acknowledging the good I shall receive by your Lordshipp) to repaire your Honor's buildings from tyme to tyme with the best glasse, duringe the terme of the said Patent ; and allso bestowe one hundred Angells at your Honor's appointment. I have spoken to Dollyne, as your Honor willed me ; and may it please your Honor to appoint some tymes that we may both attend your Honor. "Your Honor's poore Orator, ·George Longe."

INTRODUCTION

OF THE MANUFACTURE OF GLASS INTO WORCESTERSHIRE AND STAFFORDSHIRE.

( From "Aris' s Birmingham Gazette," 1856.)

Towards the beginning or middle of the 16th century, Thomas de Henzell and Balthazar de Henzell, dwelling at the Vosges, in the country of Lorraine, with their relatives Tyttery and Tyzack, all Huguenots, emigrated to England, one of the Henzeys settling at Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the others in the counties of Worcester and Stafford, where they formed an encampment at the Lye, Stourbridge, on a spot called Hungary Hill. Finding that the superior kind of clay which exists in this neighbourhood very nearly resembled that used in their native country for the making of pots for glass, they erected a glass-house and were probably the first introducers of the broad or window glass manufacture into England. The Renzells or Henzeys (as the name was afterwards spelt) are represented :- · · 1st. By the Pidcocks, of the Platts, Stourbridge, (who, for several generations, carried on the glass trade), by the marriage of William Pidcock with Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Henzey, who died in 1712 ; the present representa­ tive being John Henzey Pidcock. 2ndly.

J. 0. M. doubtless is not aware of the existence of a family of the name of Ensell. To my great :y;egret some four years ago I lost a paper containing a full account of ~he introduction of glass into this country in connection with which the pedigree of the family was fully stated. The original name was de Henzell, arid till within the last 30 years a descendant of this de Henzell under the firm 9£ Bradley, Ensell, and Holte (of Aston Hall) was an exten­ sive manufacturer of glass at W ordsley in the county of Stafford. Thomas de Henzell, his brother, and their companions made their first encampment, I believe, at Coalbourn-brook (not the Lye, as stated by J. 0. M.) about 400 yards from the Platts on a hill which is now in existence and on which

some remains of the old walls of the glass-house first erected are to be seen, at least they were so two or three years ago. The Ensell family intermarried more into the family of Bourne (of Dudley) than any other, and I am well informed that a cousin of my. grand-father, John Ensell Bourne, of the name· of Ensell, married into the Holte family. William Ensell, M.R. C. S., is the present representative0 of the Ensell family ; there. are two other brothers Henry and Charles, both of whom are, I believe, abroad.

Mr. Bourne in his reply to N. & Q., 220, does not throw any light on my query, namely, what was the precise date when the Henzell, Tyttery, and Tyzack families settled in Worcestershire ? This is important in an historical point of view in order to determine when the manufacture of glass was first introduced into the Midland Counties. My own investigations lead me to the belief that these persecuted emigrants from Lorraine came over to this country about the year 1574, at which period ,ve read in French History that " the hollowness of the peace of Longjumeau was soon manifested by the· almost universal ill-treatment of the Huguenots. There was scarcely a town in the kingdom

:If: " Representative" of course really signifies head or chief of the family, but it by no means follows that this is Mr. Bourne's meaning, for he elsewhere states that the Ensell family is representeiL by the Bournes of Dudley. Throughout this corresponde~ce the words 'represent, representative, J'"c., are sadly misnsed.-H. S.

in which the defenceless reformed were not outraged and secretly assassinated.'' _ This opinion is further confirmed by IIume in his resume of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, in which, in speaking of the manufactures of this country, he says, "In 1567 there were found, on enquiry, to be 4851 strangers of all nations in London, of whom 3838 were Flemings, and only- 50 Scots. The persecutions in France and the .Low Countries drove afterwards a greater number of Foreigners into England, and the con1merce as well as the manufactures of that kingdom were much improved by.them." With respect to the present representatives of the de Henzells, my extracts were taken from an interesting letter in the Gentleman's Magazine of this month, to which I beg leave to refer lfr. Bourne, as also for a ,vood engraving of the arms of the Henzey family, together ,vith the enquiry by the writer respecting the singular crest ,vhich perhaps he can explain. These ar1ns it is aUeged are in the Duke of Lorraine's Gallery annealed in ··glass. This then serves to illustrate that Henzey equally with Ensell is a corruption of the original name. 'fhe descent of the Henzeys from the de Henzells can also, I believe, be corroborated by portraits and other relics in the possession of branches of the family. Mr. Bourne says " rrhomas de Henzell and his brother were nearly related to the Duke of Lorraine, their ar:morial bearings confirming this." Now the arms above. referred to do not correspond ,vitb the description given in Edmondson's He1·aldr-y, of the house of Lorraine. No doubt Thorr1as de Henzell ,vas of noble descent, as it is recorded that during and subsequent to the 16th century the nobility of France were allowed by Royal permission to occupy themselves in certain manufactures, and that of "~_tained glass" was considered peculiarly appropriate to persons of gentle birth. It is much to be regretted that 1Ir. Bourne should have lost the paper he speaks of, as its publication would have set at rest the question I propounded and which with a view to its solution I v~nture to repeat-what was the 180 INTRODUCTION ·OF THE 1.IANUFACTURE OF GLASS precise date when the Henzell, Tyttery, and· Tyzack families settled in Worcestershire ? J. 0. M.

My reply to J. 0. M. was hurriedly written, immediately after the perusal of his first enquiries, for the purpose of drawing his attention to the fact that descendants of Thomas de Henzell, under the name of Ensell, were still living. On reference to the Gentleman's Magazine, I find it stated that " the name of Henzey probably~:~ still exists in Staffordshire under the altered form of Ensell," and that " a gentleman of this name was, till about twenty years ago, an eminent glass manufacturer in South Staffordshire." Now besides the sons of this gentlemen who are still living, this family is represented by the Bournes, of Dudley. In reference to the enquiries made by J. 0. M., I have never taken the trouble to make any investigations, no probable advantage therefrom presenting itself. It occurs to me that J. 0. M. will find much interesting matter in "Curiosities of glass-making, by Apsley Pellatt, London, 4to., 1849," and perhaps herein he may meet with the information he desires. The paternity of Sarah and Mary Henzey no doubt may be discovered by a reference to the register of their birth, which might be found either at Oldswinford or Kingswin­ ford. Similar particulars of Susanna Barrett might be found in the Broseley parish registers. Possibly a gentle­ man by the name of Eborall, living near Hagley, and who for many years, and his father before him, held a responsible position in the family of John HiH, Colborne Brook, may be able to furnish information of the Tyzack family.t A reference to the title deeds of the sites on which the first glass houses of Thomas de Henzell were erected would, I think, facilitate J. 0. l\tl.'s investigations, and this might be· * This was then my opinion.-H.

I have discovered a representative of the Tyzack family of the name of Tyzack. Next week I hope to have pedi­ grees of the de Henzells, &c., and will' at the saT,1e time add other particulars. H. E. B. Ashted House, Dec. 6, 1856.

Mr. Bourne, in your publication of the 8th inst., says he has discovered a representative of the Tyzacks. Permit me to draw his attention to the list of names appended to the requisition to the mayor, which appears in your impres­ sion of last l\tlonday, where he will find that of " Moses Tyzack," no doubt a representative also. In the Gentleman's Magazine of this month is a reply to the letter which previously appeared in the same periodical on the same subject of these families, wherein the early history, pedigree, and ot~er interesting information respect-_ ing the de Henzells (or de Hennezel, as the name was originally spelt) is graphically given, which I recommend . to J\IIr. Bourne's notice. The writer states that about three years ago l\tlr. Richardson read to the Society of Antiquaries, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, an interesting paper regarding the introduction of glass into that town by the de Henzel fan1ily and their connections, and an engagement entered into by • Se none vero e ben trovato!-H. s.

After various communications I am enabled to refer J. O. M. to the following letter which I received on the 13th inst. I must beg leave to add that the communica­ tion is from George Harle Henzell, the gentleman named in the Gentleman's Magazine of November last/l and that up to the time of his writing the following he had not seen either the November or December numbers of the magazine. I may further remark that if J. 0. M. is desirous of pro­ curing a copy of the paper read by Mr. Ri~hardson I can refer him to a gentleman who has charge of Mr. R.'s MSS. through whom he may procure it, though from the informa­ tion_ I have received from Mr. Henzell I do not think any additional evidence will be found there.

There is also in North Shields, on the Tyne, a Tyzack of the firm of Tyzack and Dobinson, I believe chain-makers. I have written to this gentleman enclosing your third query, but as yet without receiving an answer. In a letter I have just received from the relative alluded to in my former letter, I find the fol­ lowing, 'Old Tyzack lives in Claremont Place, (Newcastle) and.says there is a tombstone in Gateshead old church, near the altar, with the arms of one of the Tyzacks on it. I went over once (a year or two ago) but could not find it ; the church was then under repair.' " The date of the arrival of the de Hennzels, de Thisacs, and de Thietrys/~ is tolerably well ascertained, but the exact time of their arrival in Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Northumberland is obscure; indeed, the date of their settlement in the last-mentioned district is mere matter of conjecture. There is no written evidencet of their coming to the Tyne for at least a hundred years after their arrival in London in 1568 or 1569. The settlement of the families in Worcestershire, I believe, can be traced further back than the Northumbrian branch, but I do not possess any documentary evidence. "G. Bouchier Richardson, Esq., late of Newcastle-upon­ Tyne, now unfortunately in Australia, a gentleman well skilled in antiquarian lore, read a paper before our Anti­ quarian Society a few years ago on the introduction of glass-making into this country.

~ "The names of Henzell, Tyzack, and Tittory have many different spellings, but all the variations I have seen can, I fancy; be explained by supposing them to have been altered (gradually no doubt) for the sake of euphony or brevity. The original names, as found in the records of La Noblesae de Lorraine, were de Hennezel, de Thisac, and de Thietry. The silence of the French H will, of course, explain the subsequent phonetic changes undergone by the two latter names. The first name, however, did not (as far as the document 1 have spoken of may be taken as proof) arrive here in its original form, the document being signed by Balthazar de Hennezes not Hennezel, and this (the first change of spelling in the name we meeti with) seems to me not so much owing to slow changes working before the families' arival here, as to wrong interpretation of the letters in the original document, the terminal ' es' being easily read for ' el.' The subsequent variations undergone by the name in the ma.in resolve themselves into abbreviation, the trisyllable Hennezes, for iniiitance, after dropping the :finals becoming Henzey, and Henzy, &c., &c." t This is not quite accurate. The name of Henzey appears in Newcastle Registers as early as 1618, and " Tizziock,, (Tyzack) as early as 1610. H. S. G. ~ 184 INTRODUCTION OF THE MANUFACTURE OF GLASS opinion that the migration of the families here, and to Worcestershire, took place simultaneously about fifty years after their arrival in London. The relative to whom I alluded in my former letter, writing to me concerning Mr. Richardson's views, says 'he (l\'Ir. Richardson). shewed me parish registers of births, deaths, and marriages, down-if my memory is good-to about fifty years or so of the family coming to this country, which he got from a gentleman a member of the branch living in Worcestershire~:~; and he further told me he could not procure such documents here, having made most diligent but fruitless search.' My friend then goes on to say that after Mr. Richardson received· the document from Worcestershire, which he did some time after reading the paper before the society, he now inclined to the idea that the family did not come here so soon as he at first thought ; he said it was more probable they came about the latter end of James's reign (say 1620 to 1625). I do not know Mr. R.'s grounds for this change of opinion. The difficulty of procuring documentary evidence of the arrival of the families on the Tyne is in great part owing to the constant warfare at that time betwen the Scotch and English, and the consequent destruction of documents, &c. " Bourne, in his History of Newcastle, thinks the families of H., T., and T., came and established Glass-works on the Tyne in Queen Elizabeth's reign, but of this he offers no proof. Sykes, in his ' Local Records ' sayst ' some­ time in Elizabeth's reign, between 1558 and 1603, came over to England the Henzells, Tyzacks, and Tytterys', &c. ; then he goes on to say ' they settled at Newcastle, at a place . . . . they built Glass-houses and worked at their trade there ; afterwards they went into Staffordshire, from whence they returned to the Tyne, &c.'

" 'l1here is not so 1nuch obscurity about the arrival of cl these three families in England as there is about their subsequent 1novements. I have before me, just now, a copy of a docttment bearing date April 1568, signed by Balthazar -de Hennezes and 'fhomas de Hennezes, then living in Lorraine, in which they promise to come over to this country as soon as permission is granted them. It goes on to say they promise to pay a certain sum to the Queen for the privilege of carrying on the process Qf glass manufacture, and that the Queen agreed thereto, &c. t Fro1n this we might, without n1uch likelihood of error, set down the date of their final arrival in this country at 1569, perhaps early in the year.!

( Reprinted, by per-miss£on of the author, Mr. Olephan, frorn the i' Newcastle Daily Ohron£cle," of Oct. 5, 1864.)

The Romans had, apparently, window~glass in Britain. "Fragments of a sort of window-glass," says Dr. Bruce (in his book on the Roman Wall) "are frequently found in some of the stations ;-" and in his paper on the excavations at Bremeniun1 in 1855, read before the Society of Anti­ quaries in Newcastle, he mentioned among the relics there discovered "some window-glass" (samples of which were exhibited), with also scor£ce, raising the question whether glass might not have been made on the spot. To,vards the close of the third century, when the Romans were yet in occupation of Britain1 there is a distinct mention of the use of glass for windows. Such mention is made by Lactantius, one of the Latin fathers ; and in the writings of Jerome, who died a few years before the Romans had finally departed from our shores as rulers, we read of glass windows. From this time allusions to window-glass become more frequent ; and in the sixth century, the glazed windows of the church of St. Sophia, in Constantinople, ,vere one of the wonders of the East. When was ,vindo,v-glass architecturally introduced among the native inhabitants of our own Island ? The valuable "industrial volume " of the British Associa­ tion, recently published in Newcastle, by 1fr. Andrew Reid, states that "ordinary window-glass was first_ used in Great Britain, for architectural purposes, at the great mgilasteries at l\'Ionkwearmouth, on the River vV ear, and at J arrow-on­ the-Tyne. 'The venerable Bede, our first ecclesiastical historian, who flourished at the former place, in the seventh 190 WINDOW GLASS.

century, relates that his contemporary~ the Abbot Benedict, sent for artists beyond the seas to gla~e the monastery of W earmouth . . . . By a singular coincidence, the first manufactury of windo,v or Crown glass in Great Britain was established at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, within a few miles of these n1onastic establishments. In the year 1616, Admiral Sir Robert 1Iansell erected glass-works at Ne,v­ castle, ,vhich were carried on, without interruption, till nearly the middle of the prese:it century, when they were closed.'' What Bede has to say on this subject runs thus:-" The pious servant of Christ, Bishop, called Benedict, with the assistance of the -Di vine Grace, built a monastery in honour of the most holy of the apostles, St. Peter, near the n1outh of the river Wear, on the north side." Benedict had made a voyage to Ron1e, for the third tin1e; and on his return,· he determined to repair to the Court of his friend Conwalla, King of the West Saxons ; but this monarch dying suddenly (in 672), he thereupon direct~d his steps to his native­ province. " He came to the court of Egfrid, King of N orthurnberland, . . and found such favour in the eyes of the King that he forthwith gave him seventy hides of land out of his own estates, and ordered a monastery to be built thereon for, the first pastor of his church. This (says Bede) was done, as I said before, at the mouth of the river "\Vear, on the left bank, in the 674th year of our Lord's incarnation, in the second indiction, and in the fourth year of Egfrid's reign. · After the interval of a year, Benedict crossed the sea into Gaul, . and no sooner asked than he obtained and carried back with him some masons to build hi1n a church in the Roman style, which he had always admired. So n1nch zeal did he show fro1n his love for St.. Peter, in "rhose honour he was building it, that within a year fro1n the time of laying the foundation stone," (for the old builders ,vere not slow, as n1any· moderns SU}J.pose,) " you 1night have seen the roof on, and the solen1nity of the n1ass celebrated therein.. When the ,vork · ,vas dra,ving to co1npletion, he sent n1essengers to fetch makers of glass ( more properly artificers) who were at this time. unknown W1NDOW GLASS. 191 in Britain, that they 1night glaze the windows of his church, "rith the cloisters and dining room." We have given the words of Bede (as translated by Giles), because many who quote him na1ne 674 as the year which he assigns to the introduction of ,vindo"'-glass; and the reader, ,vith the text before hi1n, may judge whether 6 74 was not simply the date of Egfrid' s gift of land, and 676 may not more correctly be accepted. as the time ,vhen the Continental " makers of glass" parenthetically described by the historian as "more properly artificers," ,vere practising their art at 1\:Ionk,vearmouth. · \Vere these strangers, let us ask, whom the enterprising ecclesiastic brought over to the "Tear, the first· ,vorkn1en, as is commonly understood, who glazed windows for the natives in Britain ? Or was the famous vVilfrid beforehand with his contemporary and friend Benedict? Archbishop Theodorus, enthroned at Canterbury, ~fay 27, 669·, restored VVilfrid to York, as one· of his first acts ; and, says Dean Hook (in the first volume of his Ii ves of the Archbishops of Canterbury), '' Wilfrid immediately. proceeded to act with characteristic munificence. He found his cathedral dilapi­ dated, and he restored it. The thatched roof he covered with lead ; the windows, hitherto open to the weather, he filled vvith glass ; and such glass, says Eddius, as permitted the sun to shine through." "\Vilfrid, enthroned in or about 669, ,vas deposed in 678; so that 'tis hard to say ,vhether York or vV earmouth took precedence as to glass ,vinclows ; but the evidence seems to turn in favour of York. There was also, contemporary ,vith the ecclesiastic of York, another Bishop "\Vilfrid-a prelate- who held the see of ,v orcester, according to Bede, for a period of thirty years, dow·n to his death in 744 ; and he, too, at a time when wiudo,v-glass ,vas first coming into use for our Saxon churches, joined in the movement. }.Totes and Queries, who lets nothing escape him, refers to Benedict's doings ; and· adds-" vVilfrid, bishop of \Vorcester, about the same time took similar steps for sustituting glass in lieu of the heavy shutters ,vhich were then in use ; and great astonishment-: \,·as,:excited, ·and SllJ>erstition~ ~gen_cy .~uspected, .when the 192 moon and stars were seen through a material which excluded the incle1nancy of the weather." But at vVearmouth, in 676, glass was not merely used­ it ,vas also (may we not infer ?) 1nanufactltred. The "glass- 111akers '' ,vho came over from Gaul " not only finished the ,York required, but (as Bede infor1ns us) taught the English nation their handicraft, which was well adapted for enclosing the lanterns of the church and for the vessels required for various. uses. '' Be this, however, as it may-whether the n1anufacture of glass was established on the coast of the county-palatine or not-no such art was exercised in Britain-at the time of the Norman Conquest, nor for some centuries after,vards. It ,vould be foreign glass that Robert de Lindsay, chosen Abbot of Peterborough in 1214, used in the beautifying of thirty of the \vindo,vs of his monastery, previously stuffed . with stra,v to keep out the ,vind and rain ; and for some centuries later, the domestic windows of England ,vere not furnished ,vith glass, but lattice. When glass-windows ,vere at length introduced into houses, they were not fix­ tures, as at present, but were regarded as moveable chattels. In the 21st year of Henry VII (1504-5) it ,vas held that the frame,vork of ,vindo,vs belonged to the heir, but the glass,vork ,vas the property of the executors, and might be rernoved; and in 1590 Robert Birkes, an alderman, of Doncaster, gave to his son, with his d,velling house, the glass-windo,vs, &c.; but in 1599, when there ,vere con­ troversies ho-,v far a winclo"~, as much as a roof or a door, ,vas part of a house, Lord Coke informs us, it "~as in the Co1nmon Pleas adjudged. that glass annexed to ,Yiudo,vs by nails, or in any other 1nanner, could not be ren1oved; for, ,vithout glass, it was 110 perfect house. ( Notes and Quer{es, iv., 99.) \Vindow-glass had at this time become a branch of Eng­ lish manufacture, prior to the date sometimes assigned to the establishment of glass-works on the Tyne. Let us hear what our local historians have to say on the subject. Grey, in his Ohoro9raphia, published in 1649, speaks of WINDOW GLASS. 193 :, the Glasse House, where plaine glasse for w--indows are Lnade, which serveth 1nost parts of the I(ingdom;" and Bourne, ,vho conies next in point of time, (his volurne appearing in 1736), rnakes the following state1nent :­ " Someti1ne in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, can1e over to England fro1n Lorrain the Henzels, Tyzackes, and Tytorys. The reason of their co1ning hither," (bet,veen the years 1558 and 1603, says Richardson in his "Table Book," about 1590, says Brockie in his "Folks of Shields,") "was the persecution of the Protestants in their own Country, of whose persuasion they Yvere. They ,vere by occupation glass-n1akers. At their first con1ing to this town (Newcastle) they ,vrought in their trade at the Close Gate. After that they removed into Staffordshire ; fron1 whence they ren1oved. again, and settled upon the river-side; at the place ca.lled, fro1n their abiding in it, the Glass Houses. Deservedly, therefore, have so 1nany of these fiunilies been named Peregrine, fron1 the latin word peregrinus, which signifies a pilgTim or a stranger." Peregrine Henzell and Jonathan Tyzack appear in Bourne's history as subscribers to All Saints' charity school at its foundation in 1709 ; and rryzack left a legacy of £5 to the school at his death. Peregrine Henzell was also a sub­ scriber to Bourne's book; and we n1ay safely assume that the worthy curate of All Saints' had his information con­ cerning the introduction of the glass manufacture on the Tyne from the two families of Henzell and Tyzack, ,vith ,vhich he ,vould be in familiar intercourse. Brand states that glass first began to be made ia Eng­ land in 1557-the finer sorts at Crutched Friars, in I-'ondon. ,vindow-glass, however, ,vould appear to have been manu­ factured in England long before. It had come into co1nmon use in Europe in the twelfth century. In 1338, a glazier was contracting for window-work at York .liinster; and a hundred years later it is certain that there ,vere not only glaziers in the country, but that they had /English glass wherewith to supply their customers. The executors of Isabel Countess of vVarwick (,vhose "'.'ill was made in 1439 ), preparing to rea:c her husband's monument, employed y 194 WINDOW GLASS.

various artists and artificers in the construction and decora­ tion of the ton1h and chapel. John Prudde, of Westminster, appears (says v"\T al pole) to have. painted the ,vindo,vs of the chapel ; and. it ,vas particularly stipulated that he should em ploy no g1ass of ltngland, but with glass of beyond the seas, and that in the finest ",ise, with the best, cleanest, and strongest glasse of beyond the sea that may be had in En£rl&nd, and of the finest colour of blew,. yellovv, red, pu11)nre, sanguine, and violet, &c. There ,vas " glass of England," therefore, in the reign of Henry the Sixth. l\'1ore recently, in th~ reign of Elizabeth, there is a letter from .A.r111igill "\Vaade to Cecil, dated " Belsize, August 7, 15G5," in ,vhich he makes a report on the progress of the 1nannfacture of glass and earthenware under Cornelius de Lannoy, and speaks of the clu1nst1:1es·s of the English Glass­ n1akers ; and two years later, the Queen entered- into an agreen1ent ,vith Anthony Becqu alias Dolin, and Jean Quarre (other,vise called John Carr) natives of the Low Countries~ for the making of ,vindovv-glass such as was manufactured in France and Lorraine, the strang-ers being ,villing to pay a duty to the Crov;n. Having effected this agreement, they 1nade application to Cecil for permission to cut wood and make charcoal in Windsor fore st for their glass ,vorks. "\Vhat ans,ver they received does not appear, but the consun1ption of ,vood had now becon1e a matter of serious consideration in England, with her ,vaning forests, and in 1611, we hear of a newly-invented process of making glass ,vith sea coal." In 1615, the making of it with wood "~as ·prohibited by proclamation, and also the importation of foreign glass ; and a grant v?as made t,o the Earl of }Iont­ gon1ery, Sir rrhon1as Howard, Sir Robert 1\ilansell, (treasurer of the Navy), Sir Edvvard Zouch, and others, of all glass­ ,vare forf eitecl for being imported contrary to order. Near the close of 1618, when Sir Robert l\Iansell (no,v sole n1anufacturer, by royal patent, of glass in England}, had been appointed Vice-Adiniral, 2-ncl sold his office of naval treasurer to Sir \V 1n. Russell, he ,vas applying to the Privy Council for power to put do,vn all glass-makers ,vho invaded his n1onopoly, otherwise (he said) he could not pay WINDOW GLASS. 195

his annual rent of £1000 to the King, and. the £1800 guaranteed to the patentees ,vho had resigned in his favour. Mansell possessed the exclusive rig~lt to n1ake glass in England; and in 1620 he hacl t,vo persons in_ prison ,vho had irn ported gt1ss into the country to his prejudice. He would not even nllo-\v his countrymen., the free run of his own glass-\votks, to purchase at which they pleased._ "Robson's choice" ,vould see1n to have been Sir Robert's rule. Ralph Colbourne, a n1ak:er of hour-glasses, applied to the Duke of Lennox and others, ,vho "'"ere Commis­ sioners for glass, to be relieved fron1 the oppression of l\Jansell, "rho constrained Iiin1 to buy his glasses in I.Jondon, vvhich v-,ere had and high-priced ; and it ,vas ordered that his reasonable request to have the privilege of purchasing. at any of the glass-houses of the 1nonopolist be granted. There was also, about the sarne. tirne, a petition of certain glaziers, who described Sir Rubert' s glass as scarce, bad, and brittle; to ,vhich imputations he replied, in a letter to the Privy (;ouncil, that the scarcity ,vas no fault of his, (but the fault, we presume he n1eant, of speculators ,vho bought up his glass); that he had gone to great expense to irnprove the quality; and that the high prite ,vas caused by a rise in the cost of coals, &c. ; and still (he said) it \Vas Jo\\1 er than before his patent. The Council stood by JM~ansell. In vain was it prayed that all Englishp:ien should he permitted to 1nanufacture glass who chose ; the 111onopoly ,vas continued in the hands of the Vice-.A.chniral, to ,vhom our historian Brand "ventures" to ascribe the first establish­ ment of'' glass ,vorks upon the river Tyne about 1619." A statement of IVIausell's own upon the subject is preserved among the State papers. One Isaac Bungard, ( who in April, 1621), was accused to the Commissioners, by the Com­ pany of Glaziers, of endeavouring, ,vith others, to engross the ,vhole trade jn glass, so as to have the prices at his o,vn command, ( and in June of the same year prayed the Privy Council to throw open the 1nannfactnre to all), petitioned the House of Commons in 1624 against the exclusive patent of Sir Robert; whereupon, the Admiral stated his case in reply. Glass, he said, ,vas formerly n1ade ,vith 196 WINDOW GLASS. wood, to the great consumption of timber; and a patent having been granted for the substitution of sea coal, he bought the patent, and after erecting ,vorks in London, the Isle of Purbeck, J\tiilford IIaven, and on the 'frent, ,vhich failed, he ,vas successful in establishing the manufacture at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Bungard endeavoured to ruin his ,vorks by corrupting his clay, by enticing a \vay his work- 1nen, so that he was~ obliged to bring over others from abroad, and by raising tbe price of Scotch coal. 'fhe patent, he added, was complained of as a grievance in last Parlia­ ment, but ,vas continued till Sir Robert's return from sea­ service, ,vhen he, sueing for a new patent, obtained it by recon1n1endation of Council ; and he now requested Parlia- 1nent to ratify it, as being a great saving of wood, giving employment to shipping in transport of materials and glass, employing 4000 natives in the 1nanufi1cture, and providing the article better and cheaper than before; to all which it ,vas responded, in a petition to Parliament, that the inven­ tion ,vas practised by others before the· patentees, that the patent vvas i1~urious to the poor glass-makers, that it enhanced the price of glass to the consumers, &c. What Parliament n1ay have done, we cannot say; the Stuarts were al \vays disposed to place Prerogative before Parlia­ ment; and on the 6th of Dece111ber, 1626, we find the Privy Council to whom the King had referred the complaints of one Bringer [Bungard?] on the glass patent of 1\"lansell, ordering that the same shall stand. 'l'h~y thought it of dangerous consequence, and far trenching on the Preroga­ tive, that patents granted on just grounds, and of long con­ tinuance, should be referred to the strict trial of the Common Law ; wherefore they ordered that all proceedings at law be stayed, and that Bringer do not presume further to trouble his lVIajesty on pain of punishment. Such ,vas the arbitrary conduct of the perilous advisers of the Cro\vn in the open­ ing years of the reign of Charles the First ! :lYiansell not only had an English patent-he also obtained the patent for Scotland. J an1es bad granted to Lord .George IIay, in 1610, for 31 years, the exch1sive right of manufacture in Scotland; and in 1627, his lordship trans- WINDOW GLASS. 197 ferred his monopoly to Thomas Robinson, a merchant­ tailor in London; ,vho, for £250, n1ade a second transfer of the privilege to 1Iansell, and thus extended his exclusive privilege over the whole island.

descendants of the refugees a century and a half ago ? · Or shall we conclude that the strangers who were here in 1619 ,vere but the ,,,.orkmen employed by the glass-rnaking .A.dmiral ? VY..,. e incline to the former course. "\Ve are disposed to believe that the " rriinothy rrizacke, merchant­ ad venturer," ,vho, dying in 1684, lies buried in the chancel of St. 1Iary's, Gateshead, came of a colony of foreign glass­ makers that practised their art before J an1es the First crossed the Border for his English throne. In the ninth year of his iilustrious predecessor (1568), "att ,vhai time," as George Long ,vrote to Lord Burleigh, '' that troubles began in France and the Lowe Countryes, so that glass could not conveniently be brought from Loraine into Eng­ land, certain glass-1nakers did covenaunt ,vith Anthony Dollyn and John Carye," (already 1nentioned,) "merchants of the said Lowe Countryes, to come and make glass in England; " and a license ,vas granted by Elizabeth to the ad venturers for making ,vindo-\v-glass " such as is made in France, Lorraine, and Burgundy." Somewhere about this period of English history is fixed by Bourne for the arrival on the Tyne of the glass-makers of Lorraine-to be follo,ved, after a brief sqjourn, by their departure for Staf­ fordshire, and their subsequent return. The probabilities are that the reverend historian had good ground for his staten1ent ; we are disposed to rely upon it as substantially accurate ; and ,ve shall be glad if any of our readers can thro,v further light upon the subject, either in confir1nation or correction of our conclusions.

The burning of Venalini's glass-house is thus quaintly related by Stowe, ed£t. 1633, p. 157 :-"The· :B.,rier' s I-I all ,vas made a glasse-house, or house wherein was n1ade glasse of divers sorts to drinke in ; which house in the yeere 1575, on the 4 of Septemb. burst out into a terrible fire, ,vhere being practised all mean~ possible to quench it, not-withstanding, as the san1e house in a small tinle before had consun1ed a great quantity 0f wood by making of glasses, no,v itselfe, having within it about 40,000 billets of wood, was also· consu1ned to the stone wals, which neverthelesse greatly hindrecl the fire from spreading any further.'' It may here be mentioned that the manufacture of glass was carried on in the neighbourhood of Kirdford, Sussex, in 1581, w·hen "David, son of· l\1r. Barry, glass1naker, stranger, ,vas baptized." The fact of glass-n1c:tking ever having been carried on in Sussex, says I\1r. L(nver, ( (}ora- pendz"ous H£story of Sussex, IL 8) "has been doubted.
