Arms - Quarterly 1 and 4. Per chevron embattled or and sable three mullets counter-changed (Hodson). 2 and 3. Argent on a fess sable a buck's head, cabossed or (Hutton). *5

Jane, wife of Phineas Hodson, D.D., chancellor of York, and daughter and heiress of John Hutton, son and heir of Richard Hutton, of York. She died in child-bed, 2 Sept., 1636 (the day of her burial), at the comparatively early age of 38, having had, according to the inscription on her monument, the extraordinary number of twenty-four children. Of these, fourteen (none of whom were twins) were baptized at St. Michael's- le-Belfrey between the years 1615 and 1633.

*5 I have blazoned this coat as it is depicted on the monument, and described by Torre; but it is obvious that the arms of Dr. Hodson should impale those of his wife.

(4). Mr. Timothey Peeres buried the one and twenteth day of September, 1636.

Third son of Mr. John Piers (nephew of archbishop Piers), registrar of the Exchequer Court of York. He was baptized at St. Michael's-le- Belfrey, 3 July, 1610, and had a still-born child buried there, 8 June, 1636.

(5). Mis Mary Hodson, the Daughter of Dr. Hodson, buried ye eight day of April, 1637.

Mary, daughter of Mr. Doctor Hodson (the chancellor) was baptized at St. Michael's-le-Belfrey, 21 April, 1618.

(6). Mr. Richard Neall, sonn of Sr. Paul Neall, buried ye six day of 9ber, 1637.
A further note to this from Ray Foster (November 2007):
The Richard Neale the inscription refers to was the infant son - born the previous year - of Sir Paul Neale and Elizabeth Clarke. Sir Paul and Elizabeth subsequently had four more children, the second son of which was also named Richard (1640-1692) who eventually became Sir Richard Neile, Sheriff of Northumberland (which is where confusion might arise.)

Sir Paul Neile, only son of Richard Neile, archbishop of York, married Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Gabriel Clarke, prebendary of Durham.

(7). John Goodday buried the second day of February, 1637.

(8). Mr. William Neall buried the eight day of August, 1638.

He was killed, 31 Oct., 1638, by the fall of some chimneys at his father's official residence, the King's Manor, York.

The Diary of Sir Hen. Slingsby commences with the following account of this melancholy accident :- "It was upon ye last of October yt sad accident hapned wch deprived Sr Edward Osborn, ye Vice-President, of his eldest son, in ye year 1638 : this accident happned by great winds wch continu'd most part of this month, but cheifly upon yt day on wch Osborn ye son was slain, for being at his study yt morning wth a Frenchman, yt tought him french, his father going to Kerton (Kiveton ?), and his mother only that morning gone to Lonsbrough to my Lord Clifford's, about 10 of ye clock, ye wind blew down wth great violence 7 chimneys shafts upon ye roof of yt chamber in ye mannor house, where he was at study, and by ye fall of ym all ye rotten peice of building was beat down, wherein he was found dead and buri'd in a heap of rubbish.-He was one much lamented by all yt knew him for those hopes he gave, being then but of ye age of 17 years."

The table-tomb of the countess of Cumberland, of which an engraving is given in Drake's " Eboracum," was nearly destroyed at the fire of 1829, and has not been restored. It was probably erected by her son-in-law, Richard, earl of Burlington (so created 20 March, 1663-4), who was recorder of York from 1685 to 1688, and died in 1698, aged 86. His great- grandson, Richard, 3rd earl of Burlington, was the well-known amateur architect, under whose direction Kent designed a "new pavement" for the Minster -" a kind of Mosaic work, thought properest for a #Gothic building,"- which was carried out, and completed in 1736. Probably there are few persons who will not share the regret expressed by Britton, "that the noble amateur did not adapt the design of his pavement to the style and character of the edifice, instead of disposing of it in a sort of Roman pattern."

Henry, earl of Cumberland, husband of the above Lady Frances, was commander-in-chief of the king's northern army in 1642. He died at York, 11 Dec., 1643, in one of the canons' houses, within the Cathedral Close, and was buried at Skipton.

Married in 1629 Katherine, daughter of Christopher Danby, esq., of Farnley and Thorpe Perrow, Lord of Mashamshire. She was baptized at Leeds, 29 Feb., 1611-12, and was buried at Wakefield, 13 Jan., 1646.

(40). The Lady Preston, bur. ye sixtenth of June, 1644.

Sir Philip Byron, a younger brother of John, first lord Byron, was slain on Trinity Sunday (June 16), during the siege of York, while repulsing an attack on the King's Manor. Sir Hen. Slingsby says, "Sr. Philip Biron, yt had ye guard at yt place, leading up some men, was unfortunately kill'd as he open'd ye doors into ye bowling green, whither ye enemy was gotten."-(Diary, p. 109.)

(42). Major Huddleston, bur. ye sevententh of June, 1644.

Richard Huddleston, a lieutenant-colonel of Foot in the royal army, was slain at the same time as Sir Philip Byron, who has just been mentioned.

Will dated 9 Dec., 1642 [Pro. 15 April, 1665].

(45). Colonel William Evers, bur. ye seventh of July, 1644.

William, second son of William, fourth lord Eure, by Lucy, daughter of Sir Andrew Noell of Dalby, co. Line., was slain at the battle of Marston Moor, July 2nd. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir Thos. Denton of Hilsden, co. Bucks, by whom he left at his decease two daughters, Margaret, wife of Thos. Danby, esq., of Thorpe Perrow (see No. 67), and Mary, wife of William Palmes, esq., of Lindley.

" Lucia, dau. of the Honble Coll William Eure," was buried at Holy Trinity, Goodramgate, 18 Feb., 1642-3.

(46). Colonel Charles Slingsbye, bur. ye seventh of July, 1644.

Sir Hen. Slingsby says,-" Here (Marston Moor), I lost a Nephew, Coll. John Fenwick, & a kinsman Sr. Chas. Slingsby, both of ym slain in ye feild ; ye former could not be found to have his body brought off; ye latter was found & buri'd in York Minster " (Diary, p. 114). I am unable to assign a place for Sir Charles in the family pedigree.

(47). The Bishop of Glosco, bur. ye ninth of July, 1644.

Patrick Lindsay, minister of St. Vigeans, in Angus-shire, was consecrated bishop of Ross, 15 Dec., 1613, and translated to Glasgow, 16 April, 1633. He was excommunicated by the rebellious Assembly of the Kirk at Glasgow in 1638, and retired to England, where he died at Newcastle (according to R. Baillie) in 1641, but as others say, in the garrison of Newcastle, in 1643 or 1644.-(Keith's Scottish Bishops.)

(48). Captaine Daulton, bur. ye twenty sixth of July, 1644.

John Dalton, esq., of West Hawkswell, co. York, eldest son of Sir William Dalton, of York, knt., one of the Council of the North, by Theophania, daughter of John Booth, esq., of Killingholme, co. Linc. Baptized at St. Michael's-le-Belfrey, 17 Sept., 1603. Married Dorothy, daughter of Conyers lord Darcy and Conyers of Hornby Castle. Captain Dalton died at Newark Castle, of wounds received at Burton-upon-Trent, while conducting the queen from York towards London. In his will, dated 9 Aug., 1643 [Pro. 31 July, 1645], he bequeaths "to my eldest sonn, William Dalton, all my armes, armour, and military furniture."

(49). Dr. George Stanhope, bur. ye twenty-sixth of July, 1644.

George Stanhope, D.D., fourth son of Sir Edward Stanhope, of Grimston, near Tadcaster, one of the Council of the North. He was one of the chaplains in ordinary to the king. On 9 July, 1617, he was instituted to the vicarage of Flintham, co. Notts, which he resigned in 1620. On 27 May, 1619, he was instituted vicar of Burton Agnes ; on 5 July, 1628, he was admitted rector of Wheldrake ; on 4 Nov., 1631, he was collated to the precentorship of York ; and in 1641 he succeeded Hen. Wickham (see No. 12) in the rectory of Bolton Percy. As " Mr. George Stanhope " he was married, at St. Michael's-le-Belfrey, 16 Sept., 1619, to Susan Mole, by whom he had issue Edward, Elizabeth, Arthur, Frances, Arabella, Thomas, and Ann. Of these children, Thomas (bap. at St. Michael's, 23 April, 1638) became rector of Hertishorn, co. Derby, vicar of St. Mary's, Leicester, and chaplain to the earls of Chesterfield and Clare, and was father of George Stanhope, dean of Canterbury from 1704 to 1728. Dr. George Stanhope died intestate, and on 21 Dec., 1644, administration of his effects, with tuition of five of his children, was granted to Susan Stanhope, his widow, who was joined by Tho. Baduley, esq., of Durham, and Sir Edward Stanhope, of Grimston.

(50). Mr. William Ingram, ye sonn of Mr. Arthur Ingram, bur. 14th of 12ber, 1645.

Eldest son of Arthur Ingram of Knottingley, gent., and grandson of Sir William Ingram, LL.D., of York, who was buried in the Minster in 1625. (See No. 113.)

(51). Phineas Hodson, Dr. of Devinity, bur. ye 28th of November, 1646.

Phineas Hodson, whose parentage is unknown to me, was one of the

chaplains to king James I. On 2 May, 1608, he was instituted to the rectory of Sigglesthorne, which he resigned in July, 1624. On 25 Sept., 1611, he was collated to the chancellorship of York, which he held until his death. In 1634, he founded a Lectureship in York Castle, and endowed it with £25. per annum. He also left a rent-charge of £5. per annum for bread for the prisoners.

By his wife Jane (see No. 3), Dr. Hodson had twenty-four children, of whom only six appear to have survived him. In his will, dated 18 Nov., 1646 [Pro. 18 Feb. seq.], he mentions his sons Edward, Tobias, Timothy, Arthur, William, and John. To Tobias he leaves a "diamond ring won was bequeathed to me by my brother Eleazer Hodson decd."

The chancellor is said to have been ancestor of Sir Tho. Hodgson of Barnby Don, now represented by T. L. Hodgson, esq. of Highthorn, near Easingwould.

(52). Colonel Fairfax, bur. ye sixtenth of December, 1646.

In the absence of the christian name, it is not easy to identify Colonel Fairfax, but I believe him to have been the son of Francis, second son of Gabriel Fairfax, esq., of Steeton (Analecta Fairfaxiana, p. 176), and father of the Major Fairfax who died at York of wounds received in the battle of Marston Moor, and of whose will the following is the substance :- 1 Oct. 1644. I William Fairfax, Major of the Regiment of Colonel Lambert in the present service for the King and Parlamt, being now of perfect memory, praised be the Lord, albeit much weakened in the state of my body by many wounds lately received in the said service, and by reason of sicknes accompanyng the same.-As touching my temporal Estate, wch consisteth wholly (saving for some horses and armes, wth apparel and the like) in the arrerages of Pay now due unto me from the Parlament, both as Capteyne and Major, from the tymes of the dats of the severall Commissions to me till this tyme (saving such somms as I have received in part thereof), I doe hereby give and bequeath the said whole debts and arrerages of Pay, and all my goods whatsoever, unto my much honored and deare father Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Fairfax, whom I doe hereby make and constitute sole executor [Pro. 12 Nov. 1645, and administration granted to the executor].

Probably Elizabeth, widow of Sir Francis Ireland, of Nostel, Knt., and daughter of William lord Eure (S. Yorks. ii. 215). She was sister, I believe, to Colonel William Eure, who was buried in the Minster in 1644. (See No. 45.) Sir Fras.

(60). Lady Bethell, bur. ye twelfth of December, 1654.

This lady is not recorded in Dugdale's Visitation or in the pedigree in Poulson's History of Holderness, and I regret my inability to identify her.

The father of Mrs. Baddeley was a kind of Protestant Martyr, having got into the clutches of the Inquisition in Spain. Richard Baddeley was secretary to Tho. Morton, bishop of Durham, and wrote and printed his Life. (J. R.)

When the widow of Dr. Stanhope administered to his effects in 1644, she was joined in the bond by Tho. Baduley, esq., of Durham.

(63). Mr. Arthur Hodson, sonn of Dr. Hodson, bur. ye thirtenth of May, 1656.

(67). Sr. Thomas Danbe, bur. ye eightenth of August, 1660.

Sir Thomas Danby, of Thorpe Perrow, knt., lord of Mashamshire, died in London 5 Aug. 1660, and was buried (ut supra) in the north aisle of the choir. Son and heir of Christ. Danby, esq., of Farnley and Thorpe Perrow, by Frances, daughter of Edward Parker lord Morley, born in 1610 ; succeeded in 1624 ; high sheriff of Yorkshire in 1638 ; a colonel in the Royal army, and M.P. for Richmond in the Long Parliament. In 1630 he married Katherine, daughter of Christ. Wandesford, esq., of Kirklington. She died in childbed, 26 Sept. 1645. (Fisher's Mashamshire, pp. 271-276.)

(68). Mr. Hudson, bur. ye twenty ninth of April, 1663.

(69). Mr. Young, bur. ye fifth of May, 1663.

(69a). " Dr. Marsh, ye reverend deane of Yorke, was buried in ye Cathedrall church the 15th of October, 1663." (Par. Reg., St. M.-Ie-B.)

In the south aisle of the choir, " by the wall side, under the 5th window, lyes a blue stone about 2 yds & z long, & plain, under wch was buried Richard Marsh, Dean of York, who dyed A.D. 1663 ; and an Escocheon of his Arms, depicted on a wooden frame, still hangs over him :-Gu. a Nagg's head couped ar.-Marsh (Impaling) Qrly. B. & Gu., on a bend A. 3 boars passt. sab., & a border 0.-Grice." (Torre, p. 257.)

Richard Marsh was born at Finchamstead, co. Herts, in 1585. On 17 Oct., 1614, he was collated to the vicarage of Birstal, co. York, which he resigned in 1662. On 30 Dec. 1625, he was collated to the stall of Rampton at Southwell. On 28 June, 1634, he was nominated to the prebend of Husthwaite at York, and installed 6 Aug. seq. On Sept. 25th in the same year, he was collated to a stall at Ripon. In 1636 he proceeded D.D. at Oxford. On 12 April, 1638, he was instituted to the vicarage of Halifax, and became shortly after an active justice of the peace for the West Riding of Yorkshire. In August, 1641, he succeeded Hen. Wickham (see No. 12) as archdeacon of York. When the deanery became vacant by the death of Scott in 1644, Dr. Marsh was nominated his successor, but could not take possession till after the Restoration, when he was installed 20 Aug., 1660. In 1662 he resigned the vicarage of Halifax, and his stall at Ripon, and dying October 13th, 1663, was buried (ut supra) near archbishop Hutton.

Dean Marsh was thrice married. His first wife was a Miss Stephens ; his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Robt. Batt, esq. of Oakwell Hall, near Birstal, died in childbed ; his third wife, who survived him, was Frances, daughter of Mr. Grice of Wakefield. (See No. 74 a.)

Probably Catherine, eldest daughter of Sir Francis Armitage of Kirklees, Bart., baptized at Hartshead 7 Dec. 1630. (See No. 39.)

(70a). The most Reverend Father in God Accepted, Lord Archbishop of York, primate of England, metropolitan, departed this mortall life at his house at Bishop's Thorpe near York (newly repaired at his great charge), on Monday the 28th of March 1664, in the 76th yeare of his age. After his death his corps was privately removed to York, & there for divers dayes deposited in that decent state that was suitable to the dignity of so greate a prelate ; and on Tuesday, the 3d of May was with all solemnity interred under the greate east window of the Cathedral church of St. Peter : the chief mourner was Mr. Stephen Frewen, the sole executor & only surviving brother of the defunct.

Arms.-The See of York impaling ermine, four bars azure, a demi lion rampant proper issuant in chief gules.-Frewen.

Accepted Frewen, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, was translated to the see of York, 22 Sept. 1660, and enthroned on the 11th of October following. In his will, dated 22 May, 1663 [Pro. 23 July, 1664], he bequeaths "to every Bishop of this kingdome a ringe (none to be under the value of 30s.) haveing this inscription, 'Neg3 melior sum quam patres mei. 1 Re : 19. A. F.'"

(71). Captaine Sidnam, bur. ye sixtenth of August, 1664.

Probably George, second son of John Sydenham, esq., of Brimpton, Co. Somerset, who is said by Burke (Extinct Baronetage) to have been a major in the king's army, and to have died in 1664-5, leaving a daughter Susan, who died unmarried in 1666.

The Sydenhams held property in Yorkshire. Sir Thos. Posthumus Hoby, knt., lord of the manor of Hackness, who died s. p. in 1641, settled the greater part of his estates upon the elder brother of the above George, whom he designates in his will, dated 28 March, 1640, as " my dearely beloved and esteemed cosen John Sydenham, the eldest sonne and heire of John Sydenham, late of Brimpton in the county of Somersett, esq. deceased, by my neere kinswoman Alice, his then wife, that was the daughter of Willm. Hoby, late of Hales in the county of Glocester, esq. likewise deceased." To " my cosen George Sydenham, the younger brother of the aforesaid John," the testator bequeaths the sum of £300.

John Sydenham, the "esteemed cosen," was created a baronet 28 July, 1641, and dying in the following year, was succeeded by his son, Sir John-Posthumus Sydenham.

(72). Goustoves, ye sonn of Dr. Stones, bur. ye sixtenth of February, 1664.

A son of Dr. Christopher Stone, chancellor of York. (See No. 98.)

(73). Mrs. Prinse, bur. ye twenty of March, 1664.

(74). Captaine Looid, bur. ye twenty third of March, 1664.

(74 a). "Mris Frances Marsh, ye relict of Deane Marsh, was buried in Yorke Minster ye 25th of Julii, 1665." (Par. Reg., St. M.-le-B.)

In her will, dated 3 April, 1665 [Pro. 11 Aug. seq.], "Frances Marsh of the citty of Yorke, widdow, the late wife and Relict of Richard Marsh, Docr. in Divinity, late Deane of the Cathedrall and Metropoliticall Church of St. Peter in Yorke," bequeaths all her lands, etc., at Plewicke, in the parish of Sandal Magna, co. York, to her "loveing sisters Anne Grice and Susanna Grice, their heirs and assigns for ever." She mentions her nephew John Grice, esq., and bequeaths £10. to Richard Grice, of Wakefield, gent.

Frances Marsh was the dean's third wife, and the daughter of Mr. Grice of Wakefield. (See No. 69a.)

(74b). Marmaduke Carver, rector of Harthill, died in August, 1665, and was buried, according to Torre (p. 254), in the south aisle of the choir, near the 5th window, under a white stone, on which was formerly a broad plate bearing an inscription to his memory. Torre and Drake give copies of this inscription, but as they differ from each other, and are evidently very inaccurate, I append the version printed by

Mr. Hunter in his History of South Yorkshire (i. 145) :-

LECTOR, SI PIETATIS AMATOR, SI DOCTRINÆ ESTIMATOR, SCIAS QUANTUS SUB HOC LAPIDE THESAURUS SITUS EST. MARMADUCUS CARVER, ECCLESIÆ HARTILLIENSIS QUONDAM RECTOR, CHRONOLOGLÆ ET GEOGRAPHIÆ SCIENTISSIMUS, LINGUARUM PERITUS, CONCIONANDO PREPOTENS. QUI CUM SCRIPTIS, AD INVIDIAM USQUE, DOCTIS, VERUM TERRESTRIS PARADISI LOCUM ORBI MONSTRASSET, AD CELESTEM QUEM PRÆDICANDO AUDITORIBUS COMMENDAVERAT, CUJUS ADEUNDI INGENTI DESIDERIO TENEBATUR, MORIENDO TRANSLATUS EST . . . DIE AUG. 1665.

Marmaduke Carver was ordained deacon 23 Sept. 1627, and priest 9 March seq., by the Archbishop of York. On 2 Jan. 1636-7, he was instituted to the vicarage of Skipwith, which he appears to have held about four years. His institution to Harthill has not occurred to me. In his will, dated 10 Aug. 1665 [Pro. 19 June, 1666], Marmaduke Carver of Harthill, clerk, bequeaths to his son Edward " the Orientall Bible and the Orientall Dictionary, in full satisfaction of his portion." He mentions his other children, Marmaduke, Charles, John, Anne, Elizabeth, and Abigail Carver, and appoints his wife Anne sole executrix.

The testator was succeeded in the rectory of Harthill by his son Edward, who was instituted 28 Nov. 1665.

(74c). "Sir Thomas Carnaby, whoe was unfortunately slaine by one Harland, was buried in Yorke Minster ye 22th of Septemb: 1665." (Par. Reg., St. M-le-B.)

Sir Thomas Carnaby was killed in an affray with Richard Harland in his house in Blake-street, 20 Sept., 1665 (Deps. from Work Castle, ed. Surt. Soc.), and was buried in the north aisle of the choir, eastward of the altar, under a blue stone, on which was formerly the following inscription:-

Here lieth the Body of Sir Thomas Carnaby, Knight and Colonel, who served his King and Country in the Time of King Charles I. and King Charles II. valiantly and faithfully. He died at the Age Of 46, the 20th Day of September, Anno Domini, 1665. Veni Domine Jesu." (Gent. 131.)

Torre (p. 221) gives a contracted version of the above inscription, and adds, " His Lady lyes also buried there, who dyed (blank) 1690." This was, doubtless, Dame Eleanor Carnaby of York, widow, who will be mentioned afterwards. (See No. 106.)

(74d). " John Richmond, our Parish Clarke, was buried in ye Cathedrall Church ye 14th of March, 1665." (Par. Reg., St. M.-le-B.)

(74e). Judith, wife of Thomas Frewen, esq., died 29 Sept., 1666, and was buried in the Lady Chapel, near archbishop Frewen, under a large blue slab, on which is the following inscription :-

Arms.-Frewen (as in No. 70a) impaling (Or), a fess wavy between three wolves' heads erased (gules).-Wolverstone.

The first portion of the above inscription is nearly a copy of that on her monument (now in the north-east corner of St. Stephen's chapel, but formerly affixed to the south-east side of the pillar marked B on the plan), which reads as follows :-

Thomas Frewen, esq. of Brickwall, co. Sussex, husband Of the above Judith, was the son and heir of Stephen, younger brother of Accepted Frewen, archbishop of York. He married, secondly, in 1671, Bridget, daughter of Sir Thos. Layton of Layton, co. York, and co-heiress (with Elizabeth, wife of Roger Talbot, esq., of Wood End) Of her brother Charles. (See No. 81f.) She died at Brickwall, and was buried at Northiam, 11 Sept. 1679.

(74f). " Robert Graves, ye old Verger, was buried in ye Cathedrals Church ye 16th of Februarie, 1666." (Par. Reg., St. M.-le-B.)

" Here lyeth the body of Robt Grave, who was Verger of this Church 38 years, & dyed aged 85 years, A. D. 1666. Under wch is cutt 2 shin bones in Saltire, & death's head in Chief, wth this Motto below, 'Memento Mori."' (Torre, 145.)

The "old verger" was buried in the nave, near the great west door. Perhaps he was of the same family as Hugh Graves, lord mayor of York in 1578, who was a younger son of Robert Graves of Cleckheaton in the West Riding.

(74g). " Edward, ye sonne of Mr. Richard Robinson, was buried ye 22th of Septemb: 1667. This childe was afterwards taken up & buried with ye mother in ye Minster." (Par. Reg., St. M.-le-B. )

(74h). " Ellenor, ye wife of Mr. Richard Robinson, was buried in ye Cathedrall Church ye 28th of September, 1667." (Par. Reg., St. H.-le-B.)

Eleanor Robinson and her infant child were buried, I believe, in the north aisle of the choir. Torre says (p. 221), -" At foot of last (Sir Tho. Carnaby,-see No. 74c), by the Pillar, lyes another blew stone, with this Inscription ingraven at the head, viz., 'Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth Robinson, daughter of . . Danby, Esq. . . . wife of Robert Robinson, Esq., being of . . years of age, who dyed 2 . day of Sept. A.D. 1667. Veni, Domine Jesu."

Except as to date, this inscription differs widely from the Belfrey register. Torre, however, was not always accurate, and at the time he took his "church notes," the above "blew stone" was evidently considerably worn. There can be little doubt, I think, that instead of Elizabeth, #Danby, and #Robert, we should read #Eleanor, #Carnaby, and Richard. Licence to marry Richard Robinson, esq., of York, and Mrs. Ellenor Carnaby was granted 26 Sept. 1666. To which of the numerous branches of the Robinson family the above Richard belonged, it has not yet been discovered. His wife was probably a daughter of Sir Thos. Carnaby. (See Nos. 74 c, 106.)

(74i). Anne, wife of Philip Prince, gent., died 1 March, 1667, and was buried in the south aisle of the choir. Torre says (p. 250), By the wall side lyes a new spotted marble, at the head whereof is engraven this lozenge Escocheon :- (Sab.) an Inescocheon inter an orle of 8 owles (0.),-and underneath this Epitaph, viz. -'Hic jacet Anna filia Joh'is Calverley, armigeri, et uxor Philippi Prince, generosi, cujus anima 1mo die Martii ano Dni 1667 ad superos migravit, ætatis suæ 33. Et corpus conditum prope exuvias Mathei Hutton, nuper Archiepi Ebor., proavi ejus. Christi redempta ad Christum expectat ; Vixit post funera virtus:' "

The escocheon and epitaph seen by Torre have disappeared, and in their place I find the following restoration of the old inscription :-

HIC JACET ANNA FILIA

Anne, eldest daughter of John Calverley, esq., of Eryholme (son and heir of Sir John Calverley, of Littleburne, co. Durham, by Anne, daughter of Matthew Hutton, archbishop of York), was baptized at Eryholme, 19 May, 1635, and married there, 27 Aug,, 1663, to Philip Prince, of York, goldsmith. She died s. p.

Sir William Ingram, of Little Cattal, co. York, Knt., second Son of Sir Will. Ingram, LL.D., of York, one of the Council of the North, by Catherine, daughter of John Edmonds, of Cambridge, gent. Born about 1600; married Catherine, daughter of Sir Edward Greville, of Milcote, co. Warwick, by whom he left no issue.

In a codicil to his will, dated 24 Sept., 1669, 21 Chas. II., Sir William Ingram desires "that my body may be buryed in the upper end or east end of the Quire or Chancell of the Minster or Cathedrall Church of Yorke, as neare as conveniently may be to the grave of my late deare Father. Item, I doe further will, devise and appoynt that one hundred pounds shalbe disbursed out of my personal estate, and bestowed in and about my funerall expences." The original will has not occurred to me, neither have I discovered when probate was granted, but a copy is entered in the register among wills proved in the months of November and December, 1669. This does not agree with the date of death on his monument. The latter, it should be observed, is now in the north aisle of the choir. In Torre's time it was affixed to the wall behind the altar screen, in the position marked C on the Plan.

(80a). " Mr. Joseph Michelwaite was buried in ye Cathedrall Church ye 30th of March, 1670." (Par. Reg., St. M.-le-B.)

Joseph Micklethwaite, of York, gent., second son of Joseph Micklethwaite, esq., M. D., of Swine (see No. 66). He was aged 26 in 166&, and died unmarried. By will, dated 29 Sept., 1669 [Pro. 5 April, 1670], he bequeaths his house in Lendal to his sister Anne, wife of Thomas Dickinson, esq., of Kirkby Hall (lord mayor of York in 1648 and 1657). (See No. 166.)

" Mr. Charles Procter, ye Minister of Darrington, was buried ye 27th of Septemb: 1670, in ye Minster." (Par. Reg., St. M.-le-B.)

On 4 May, 1635, Charles Prockter was ordained deacon and priest by Francis, bishop of Ely. On 15 Aug., 1666, being then S. T. B., he was collated to the vicarage of Darrington, co. York, which he held until his death. He was probably of the same family as Thos. Procter, verger, and Nichs. Procter, clerk of the vestry, who are both interred in the Minster. (See Nos. 84, 165.)

[Here occurs a chasm of nearly 12 years. The next burial in the Minster Register is dated 27 March, 1682.]
