"ALKMONDBURY, (Huntingdonshire) near Leighton-stone, is a T. which the E. of Chester bestowed on Sir Steph. Segrave, a priest, who, after great pains, rais'd himself to be Ld. Ch. Justice, and manager of all affairs; but on a sudden lost the K's favour, with his honour and wealth, and ended his days in a cloister."
