Staffordshire REPORT OF ANNUAL MEETING, NOVEMBER 1s t, 1919. T h e Forty-first Annual Meeting of the William Salt Archaeological Society was held in theSample William Salt CountyLibrary on November 1st, 1919. There were present:— Lord Dartmouth (in the Chair), Sir Reginald llardv, the Rev. W. Beresford, the Rev. E. R. 0 . Bridge- man, the Rev. Lionel Lambert, Mrs. Moat, Col. Wedgwood (Hon. Sec.), Messrs. Percy W. L. Adams, H. J. Bostook, S. A. H. Burne, F. A. Homer, J. T. Homer, W. N. Landor, G. P. Mander,Studies J. R. B. Masefield, the Assistant Secretary, and the Librarian. The Minutes of the last Meeting wer.e read and passed. Apologies for absence were read from the following Members :— Lord Bagot, Sii Thomas Salt, Mr. II. H. Cotterell, Mr. Scrivener, and Mr. Smith. The Balance Sheet, showing a balance in hand of £424 Is. 8d., was presented and passed. E d it o r ia l C o m m it t e e ’s R eport The Volume for 1917-18 was issued to subscribers in July. The Committee apologise to the Society both tor the delay in issuing this volume and for rolling two volumes into one. The delay was due principally to the congestion in the printing trade. With prices at their present level, unless our members very considerably increase, we shall either have to resort to smaller volumes, possibly unbound, in Staffordshirefuture, or continue to combine two years in one. Though the account from Messrs. Harrison for Vol. 1917-18 is not yet presented, and though we have considerable sums in hand, your Committee look forward with anxiety to the financial future of the Society. Vol. 1919 and Vol. 1920 are web in hand. The first, contain lg the Rev. D. S. Murray’s “ Blithficld,” and valuable shorter articles by Messrs. 0 . G. 0 . Bridgeman and G. Mander, oi which 170 pages are passed for press ; the second, containing the second instalment of the Parliamentary History by the Hon. Secretary, has about the same amount completed and will take the history down to 1780. Favourable reviews of the 1917-18Sample Volume Countyhave appeared in The Times, Saturday Review, and Staffordshire Sentinel. It is with much regret that we hear from Col. Wedgwood that he feels unable any longer to remain Hon. Secretary. Under the circum­ stances, we feel that Mr. Gerald P. Mander and Mr. S. A. H. Burne should be made joint Secretaries for the ensuing year.Studies Mr. H o m e r seconded the adoption of the Report, and urged the need of more Members. The A s s is t a n t S e c r e t a r y reported that dm ing the past year the Society had lost by death seven Members : the Rev. F. MacCormich, the Rev. S. Hutchinson, Col. Rowland J. Beech, Col. "Walton Walker, Mr. J. Amphlett, Mr. W. A. Foster, and Mr. Edward B. Thorneycroft. Six new Members had joined : Mr. H. H. Brindley, Mr. L. Foster, Mr. F. Lawden, Mr. A. H. Partridge, Mr. Hadyn Whitehouse, and the Tipton Free Library. This gives a total of 156 Private Members, 3 Hon. Members, and 49 Libraries and Societies. The l i b r a r i a n reported that in response to the request issued in March last, 92 lists of men who were Killed in the Wat had been received. The majority of these have been sent in by the parish clergy. Many are professedly incomplete, full information not being at present obtainable : some are mere lists of names with no accompanying particulars. Others contain full details. All have been duly Staffordshireacknowledged. It was suggested that business firms should be asked to send their lists.

COOKE Queen Elizabeth never slept here : Cassandra, Duchess of Chandos, as an authority for royal progresses Cassandra Brydges (1670-1735), Duchess of Chandos, was the daughter of Francis Willoughby of Wollaton, Notts, and Middleton, Warws, and sister of Thomas Willoughby, first Baron Middleton .1 She compiled (in John Coldewey's words) a'lively and personal' manuscript history of her father's family (Nottingham University Library : MSS Ml LM 26 & 27), based on an extensive collection of family papers, not all of which have survived . This has provided some useful references for Professor John Coldewey's REED collection for Nottinghamshire, now in progress . It also appears, at a first reading, to be a valuable source for reconstructing the movements of Elizabeth i and James i on progress ; but research done as part of the checking process for Professor Coldewey's collection has shown that in these matters Cassandra's history must be used with caution .

It classifies the material and allots a permanent reference number to each item. The Sneyd Papers were at Keele Hall after the Second World War, when they were purchased by Mr Raymond Richards, of Gawswcrth, from Cci« Balph Sneyd (1863-1949), the family’ s last direct descendant. After adding the rescued papers to his collection Mr Richards placed the bulk of it in the John Rylands Library, on deposit. The University of Keele (then the University College of North Staffordshire) purchased most of the collection in 1957 and the Sneyd Papers therefore returned to Keele, where they are now housed in the University Library. From the time of the Civil War the accumulation lias had its ups and downs and damage in terms of actual losses (particularly in the map department) accounts for a noticeable imbalance. Over- the years fa irly extensive disturbance has resulted in fragmentation of the archive and the number of items listed in isolation is consequently high. It is possible that some items now incorporated with the family papers were collected by the Rev.

THE CHETWYNDS OF lNGESTRE are descended from a Shropshire family now almost extinct in that county, who when surnames first came into use took their name from the manor or place in which they lived. Adam de Chetwynde is the first of whom we find any record, his name occurring in a Forest Roll of the year 1180. He is the common ancestor of every one who bears or ever bore the name of Chetwynd. From the reign of Henry II. to the present time, there have been twenty-three generations in the male line. The Princess Godiva, widow of Leofric King of ~Iercia, was Lady of_ the AI an or of Chetwynd in Saxon times, and of one other small manor in Shropshire. At the Norman Invasion Duke "\Villiam gave her lands, and a great part of the county besides, to Earl Roger de Montgomeri, who had been one of his lieutenants at the Battle of Hastings. At the· Domesday Survev one· Turold, a Norman, was the Earl's undertenant at " Chetwynd and in certain other manors ordinarily kno\vn as the Fee of Chetwynd, of which Chetwynd was the chief n1anor.
