Cumb., and widow of Ambrose Pudsey, esq., of Bolton, co. York. He died unmarried, 10 Aug., 1676 (not 1675, as stated on his monument), his heirs being his sister Bridget, wife of Thomas Frewen, esq. (see No. 74 e), and his half sister Elizabeth, wife of Roger Talbot, esq., of Wood End. Will dated 9 Aug., 1676 [Pro. 23 Aug. 1676, adminn. to Roger Talbot, esq., the sole executor].

The monument of Chas. Layton was formerly affixed to the same pillar (B on the Plan) as that of Judith Frewen. It is now in the north aisle of the choir.

The verger was probably the same person as " John Newsome of the cittye of Yorke, yeoman," who made his will 16 Jan., 1678-9 [Pro. 8 June, 1680], and appointed his wife Mary and his son John joint executors.

Robert Feild was collated to the stall of Fenton at York, 3 Aug. 1670, and on the 3rd of Sept. following he was made sub-dean. On 2 May, 1671, he was collated to the rectory of Barton-le- Beans, Co.

On 27 April, 1675, he was made archdeacon of Cleveland ; and on 30 Dec. 1676 he was collated to the stall of Dunham. Dr. Feild died 9 Sept. 1680, aged 42, and was buried in St. Stephen's chapel (wherein his patron and benefactor archbishop Sterne, was afterwards interred), under a blue stone on which was formerly the following inscription:

"Hic jacet Robertus Feild, S. T. P. archidiaconus de Cleveland, necnon hujus ecclesiæ sub-decanus et præbendarius, qui obiit 9° Sept. anno Domini, 1680, ætatis sure 42." (Torre, p. 226.)

The will of " Robert Feild, Doctor in Divinity, Archdeacon of Cleaveland," who appears to have resided at Bishopthorpe, bears date 3 Sept. 1680. He bequeaths the moiety of a tenement in Wordington, Co. Oxon, to his niece Elizabeth, wife of Mr. Edward Foden of Stafford. To his sister Priscilla, wife of Vincent Savidge, he leaves an annuity of £20, and legacies of £50. each to his sister Mary Knight, and his niece Mary Blencoe.

Blencoe, clerk.- His nephew, Edward Foden residuary legatee and sole executor [Pro. 11 Sept. 1680].

" On the next Pillar of the North-Isle (of the choir) is a Hatchment with this Inscription :-` John Beverley of Great Smeaton dy'd Octob. 7, 1680."' (Gent, 125.)

John Beverley, esq., of Great Smeaton, co. York, muster-master of the West Riding, was the son and heir of Vincent Beverley, esq., by Mary, daughter of George Twisleton, esq., of Barley, Co. York. He married, first, Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Beaumont, esq., of Whitley ; secondly, Mary, daughter of John Dalton, esq., of West Hawkswell.

Baptized at Hornby 25 August, 1616; married there, 5 Aug., 1633, George Best, esq., of Middleton Whernho, who died in 1639. She afterwards became the wife of Francis Molineux, esq., of Mansfield, Co. Notts, whom she also survived.

" Grace Mollineux of the cittye of Yorke, widdow," made her will 19 Nov., 1680, and on the 9th of December following, administration was granted to Francis Molineux, gent., her son.

Thomas Tong, clerk, of the Bedern, York, died intestate, and on March 24th, 1680-1, administration of his effects was granted to his widow Eleanor. Possibly he was related to the Rev. Isræl Tonge, a native of Tickhill, and the discoverer of the Popish Plot of 1678.

1681. A Register*9 of those that have been Buried in the Cathedrall of St. Peter's in York since November the eleventh in 1691 (sic), when Nicholas Procter was made Clerk of the Vestry.

*9 The original Register commences here. As has been previously stated, the earlier entries have been copied from an older book, now supposed to be lost.

In the south aisle of the choir, " under the 6th window, by the wall side, lyes a white stone, about 2 yds & ½ long, having had a square plate at the head 2 inch broad, under wch now lyes Interred John Lake, advocate (son to John Lake, Bp. [of] Chichester), who was buried 27 Sept. (sic), A. D. 1682; in memorial of whom hangs still on a wooden frame over his grave his arms depicted, viz., Sab. a bend inter 6 crosletts botony fitche A."-Torre, 257. (See No. 81b.)

"Under ye lanthorn (at the foot of the same stone under which John Richardson, subchanter, was buried):-' Here lyeth the body of Anthony Wright, B.D., late sub-chanter of this Cathedrall, who departed this lyfe 28th day of April, A.D. 1682, aged 62.' " (Torre, 208.)

Anthony Wright was admitted to serve the cure of St. Sampson's, 5 June, 1665, and on the 8th of the same month he was instituted to the rectory of St. Saviour's, York. In 1679 he was appointed subchanter of the Vicars Choral.

He was probably related to Nicholas Procter, Clerk of the Vestry.

At the east end of the middle choir, " on S. side the N. great pillar, lyes a blue stone, about 2 yds long, wth this Inscription engraven upon it :-' Michael, the youngest son of Sr William [Dalton] of Hawkswell, knt., lyeth here interred, who departed this life 5th day of Novbr 1682, in the 11th year of his age.' To make room for this was a little white stone taken up (& now layd in the N. Quire, yet near the other), on wch was this Inscription engraven :-'Here lyethe Elizabeth Wyvell, daughter of X'pofer Wyvell, Esqr. & Margarete his wyfe, whyche dyed the xiii. of Aprill, in the yeare of our Lord God, 1565."' (Torre, 271.)

" Lady Dalton," mother of Michael, was Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Marmaduke Wyvell, bart., of Constable Burton, great- grandson of the above-mentioned Christopher and Margaret Wyvell.

John Dalton, grandfather of the above Michael, was buried here in 1644. (See No. 48.)

"At south corner of partition wall over the vaults lyes a blue marble, about 2 yds long, wth this Inscription engraven at the head :- ` Hie facet Maria filia dni Johannis Mallory nuper de Studley, militis, defuncti, ac nuper uxor Georgii Aislaby de civitate Ebor.,

Richard, son of Simon Sterne, esq., of Mansfield, co. Notts, matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge, 8 July, 1611. In 1634 he was elected Master of Jesus College, and in the same year was instituted to the rectory of Yeveston (Yeovilton ?), co. Somerset. On 2 December, 1660, he was consecrated bishop of Carlisle, over which see he presided until his translation to York in 1664. Archbishop Sterne married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Dickenson, esq., of Farnborough, co. Hants, by whom he had thirteen children. Several of his descendants are buried in the Minster, and will be mentioned afterwards.

On a blue stone, in the north aisle of the choir:-" Hic jacet Robtus Sorsby, S.T.B. Precentor hujus Ecclie Cath., Natus Sheffeld', Educatus Cantebrigite Collegii Emanuelis, qui obijt 15° die mens' Augusti, ano Dni 1683, eetatis sure 74." (Torre, 224.)

Son of Robert Sorsbie of Sheffield, cutler (the first Master of the Cutlers' Company), by Catherine Clayton, his wife. Baptized at Sheffield 25 March, 1599.*10 (Hunter's Hallamshire, p. 224.)

On 2 Sept., 1661, Robert Sorsbie was collated to the precentorship of York, and on 30 Sept., 1662, he was instituted to the rectory of Birkin.

*10 If this date be correct, Dr. Sorsbie was 84 when he died, and not 74, as stated by Torre. Gent says, "septuagesimo quinto."

On a blue marble stone at the east end of the middle choir :-" In memoriam Marmaduci Cooke, canonici et prebendarii prebendæ de Riccal, mæstissima conjux Elizabetha Cooke, cui triste sui desiderium reliquit, marmor hoc poni curavit. Obijt 7mo kal. Jan. ano Eræ Christianæ 1684, ætatis suæ 60 " (Torre, 274). Gent says (p. 130) he " Lies near abp. Frewen."

Marmaduke, the eldest of the six sons of Robert Cooke of Campsall, all of whom were in holy orders, was baptized at Hooton Paynel in December, 1625. He was educated at Catherine Hall, Cambridge, and ordained deacon and priest by Henry, bishop of Elphin, 14 May, 1653. In 1654 and 1658 he occurs as master*11 of the Free School at Doncaster. On 21 August, 1660, he was instituted to the rectory of Kirk Bramwith. On 2 March, 1660-1, he was collated to the stall of Riccall at York, which he held till his death. On 5 November, 1663, he was instituted to the vicarage of Leeds, which he resigned 25 July, 1677.

Dr. Cooke married, first, at Doncaster, 24 June, 1657, Mary, daughter of Robert Bladworth, of that town, and by her (who died in March, 1667, aged 33) had, with other issue, a daughter Mary, who married, at York Minster, 21 August, 1683, Mr. Thomas Crosland, 72 of Cobcroft, in the parish of Womersley ; secondly, 5 January, 1668, Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Atkinson, alderman of Leeds, but he left no male issue by either wife. In his will, dated 13 May, 1684, Dr. Cooke bequeaths £7 each to the churches of Riccall and Kirk Bramwith, " to buy a silver vessel, be it flagon, chalice, or paten, for the service Of God's holy altar there for ever." His brother, William Cooke, LL.D., was president of Jesus College, Cambridge, and chancellor of Ely. They had a grant of the following arms :-Argent on a fess azure between three crescents gules as many doves or.

In the nave, near the west door :-" Here lyeth the body of Robt. Grave, junr., who was verger of this church 24 years, & dyed in ye 68th year of his age, On 14 Jan., A.D. 1684." (Torre, 145.)

Charles, second, but eldest surviving, son of Sir William Howard (grandson of " Belted Will ") by Mary, eldest daughter of William lord Eure. Created baron Dacre of Gillesland, viscount Howard of Morpeth, and earl of Carlisle, 20 April, 1661. Married Anne, daughter of Edward, lord Howard of Escrick, and sister of William lord Howard of Escrick, who was buried here in 1694 (see No. 118). She died in 1696.

" Charles Earle of Carlisle, beinge not very well in health," made his will 16 January, 36 Chas. II., 1684-5 [Proved 20 March seq.]. He bequeaths to his son, Edward lord Morpeth, " all that my lease of the mannor of Carlisle ; " -also " the remaninge terme of an annuity or pension of one thowsand pounds per annum, granted unto me by his Mane that now is, upon exported coales ; "- and " unto my dearly beloved wife, Ann Countess of Carlisle, the use of all my plate, linnen, picktures, hanginges, beddinge, brass, pewther, and all other my houshold stuffe and impliments of houshold, during the terme of her naturall life ; " -remainder " to and for the use and benifitt of my right heires."

In the north aisle of the choir, "on side of N. wall, lyes a white stone, under wch lyes buried Jane Thweng, wth this Escocheon of Arms hanging in a wooden Frame over her, we" this Inscription: - Qrley 19t. & last A. a fess gu. inter 3 popingayes vt. 2d & 3d. A. on a chevr. B. 3 garbs O.

Here lyeth the body of Jane Thweng, coheir to Thomas Thweng, Esqr., late of Kilton in Clyveland, who dyed 12 Decbr., in the 26th year of her age, A. D. 1685 ; who now rests in peace, waiting for the Resurrection of the jest.'" (Torre, 222.)

Jane Thweng, daughter and co-heiress (with her sister Ann) of Thomas Thweng, esq. of Kilton (who died in 1678), by Jane, eldest daughter of Sir Joseph Cradock, Knt., LL.D. of Richmond, died at York, intestate, administration of her effects being granted, 1 April, 1686, to her mother, who was then the wife of George Tocketts, esq. of Tocketts. Mr. Theophilus Young & Madam Jane Tocketts, were mars at St. Mary's, Castlegate, 6 Feb. 1695-6.

The lady Henrietta Maria, daughter of James Stanley, earl of Derby, and widow of Richard lord Molyneux, married. 27 February, 1654-5, William Wentworth, earl of Strafford, and died 27 December, 1685. See No. 122. The following inscription to her memory, written by her husband, remains in the church at Wentworth :-

"The lady Henrietta Mary Stanley, countess of Strafforde, second daughter to the most noble and excellent lord James earle of Derby, who died a martyr for his king and country the 15th October, 1651, and that matchless lady Charlotte Tremoille, countesse of Derby, daughter to Claude duke of Tremoille and Charlotte Brabantine de Nassau, second daughter to William prince of Orange, by Charlotte de Bourbon, princesse of Orange. This noblest lady was borne the 17th November, 1630. She was the most beloved child of her princely parents ; and, as her most noble father was so highly obliging as to have long wished it, she was married to William earle of Strafforde the 27th February, 1654. And to the inexpressible griefe of her afflicted husband, she died of a spotted fever at London, upon the 27th of December, 1685.

"She was of middle stature, excellent shape and grace, and in her beautiful eyes and mien appeared the surpassing virtues of her soule, the greatest life, modesty, affability, and goodnesse I think imaginable. Never wife did more truly and passionately love her husband, and for his sake all that were friends to him. Shee had in a most eminent degree, largenesse of heart, wisdom, and piety, worthy of a far better fortune than, by the sufferings of her husband and both their families, she found. Her excellence is impossible to bee expressed, consequently for me to shew that honour to her memory I desire to doe. But in this poore church I chiefly leave the marks of it ; the place for the worship of God being fittest for the memoriall of a saint, and daughter of a saint. May this admirable lady and the renowned stock shee came from, bee ever remembered with the highest honour, by me and all my family and name, while there remains any of them upon earth, and bee never forgot by posterity, though she left none. The Lord of his infinite mercy joyne mee again unto her in everlasting blisse. Amen. An. Dom. 1689. Strafforde." (Hunter's South Yorkshire, ii. 88).

At the funeral of the above countess of Strafford, a scandalous and disgraceful scene occurred in the Minster. As a compliment, and also as a matter of precaution, a company of Sir John Reresby's grenadiers, at that time quartered in York, was directed to accompany the funeral procession. The soldiers met the hearse at the Windmills beyond Micklegate Bar. When they got to the Minster, at the choir door, " they stood on either side of the corps, to let the same be carryed quietly in, and to hinder the rabble from stealing the escutcheons off from the pall and herse, and to let the clergy and gentry that attended the corps to go quietly in."-The mob and the military soon came into collision, when the latter were very roughly handled, and had to withdraw from the Minster. Richard Hewit, gent., who witnessed the scene, was "credably informed the escutcheons of the deceased countesse that were placed round the quire weere all torne downe before the service was donn ; and, when the corps was brought to the place of interrment, whilst the Deane was in performing the service," he saw " severall persons teare doune the escutchions that were placed over the place of interment." (Depositions from Work Castle, ed. Surt. Soc., pp. 279-281.)

In the north aisle of the choir, " under the wall side, by the vaults, lyes a blew stone about 2 yds long, where is engraven this Inscription:' Here lyeth the body of William Spinke, gent., late of Dalby in the North Riding of Yorkshire, who departed this Life (being aged 64 years) the 6th of March, A.D. 1685.' His arms hanging up in a wooden frame are these :- B. on a chev. inter 3 crosses patee fitche A. as many pomeg'tes." (Torre, 220).

Christopher Stone was ordained deacon, 24 May, 1635, and priest 24 September, 1637, by Thomas, bishop of Durham. On 5 December, 1640, he was instituted to the rectory of Dalby. On 20 July, 1655, he was appointed rector of Sigston by the commissioners of Oliver Cromwell. On 7 February, 1660-1, he was collated to the chancellorship of York, which he held until he died. On 5 May, 1663, he was instituted to the rectory of Scrayingham, receiving on 20 May seq. a dispensation from the archbishop of Canterbury to hold that living jointly with Sigston. This latter he exchanged on 27 August, 1669, for the rectory of Beeford, which he ceded shortly before his death, and the former he resigned 30 December, 1679.

Dr. Stone married Grace, daughter of William Robinson of

Leeds, by whom he had issue Margery, wife of Miles Gale, vicar of Keighley, and Beatrice, wife of Henry Holme, vicar of Paul. Another daughter, Anne Stone, married at the Minster, 29 August, 1719, Robert Spearman, esq. of Thornley, co. Durham, and was mother of Mary, wife of James Rowe, lord mayor of York in 1749 and 1768.

ÆTATIS SUÆ 28

Tobias Wickham of York died intestate, and on 14th August, 1691, administration of his effects was granted to his widow Anne, who is erroneously, as I believe, called Amy in the above inscription. Sir Stephen Thompson does not mention a daughter Amy in his will, dated 17 Oct. 1687. His daughter Anne was then the wife of Metcalfe Weddell, esq. of Earswick, who died in 1688, and probably his widow became the wife of Tobias Wickham. She appears to have afterwards married Dr. Charles Palmer, rector of Long Marston, and canon of York. See Nos. 139, 140.
