^{page 2 note b} Sir Daniel Tyas.

^{page 2 note c} Knighted at Cropredy Bridge.

^{page 2 note d} Knighted for taking Wemes the Scot (General of Sir William Waller's Artillery) prisoner at Cropredy Bridge.

^{page 2 note e} Brother to Sir Francis, General of the Ordinance to Prince Maurice.

^{page 2 note f} Major-General to the army under the conduct of Prince Maurice in the West.

^{page 2 note g} At Liskeard, 3rd of August.

^{page 2 note h} Knighted at Crediton, July 30th.

Knighted at Crediton ; a Cornishman, Governor of St. Michael's Mount.

^{page 3 note a} In the field at the pursuit of the Earl of Essex's army, Captain of the Queen's troop.

^{page 3 note b} This was Anne, relict of Sir Edmund Fettiplace, and daughter of Sir Roger Alford. She died in 1651.

^{page 3 note c} Lord Bernard Stuart was Captain of the King's troop, to which the writer belonged.

^{page 3 note d} He married Margaret, daughter of Richard Aldworth, Citizen of London, and resided at Charlton.

^{page 3 note e} He alludes, no doubt, to a volume of Church Notes, but which form no part of the Diary

^{page 4 note a} Charles Tucker or Tooker, D.C.L. He married Christian, daughter of Richard Southby of Carswell, co. Berks. He was of the family of the Tookers of Maddington, co. Wilts., and was of Oriel coll. Oxford. He died 1659. C. 8, f. 119, Coll. Arm.

^{page 4 note b} All this glass has disappeared. The old house was pulled down ; but there are on some portions of the remaining walls the dates 1553 and 1567.

^{page 4 note c} Sir Thomas Vachell married 2dly, Sarah, daughter of Sir William Lane, of Horton, co Northampton.

^{page 4 note d} This was Letitia, 3d wife of Sir Thomas Vachell, and daughter of Sir Francis Knollys of Reading, brother to William Earl of Banbury. She subsequently became the second wife of Hampden, as mentioned in the Diary, and died in 1666.

^{page 4 note e} Sir Thomas Vachell married, 1st, Alice, daughter of Hugh Brooke.

^{page 5 note a} This inscription was in English ; the following one in Latin, but not beginning “Orate.” Vide C. 12. Coll. Arm.

^{page 6 note a} All these brasses were gone when I visited this church about 1827. They are all noticed by Ashmole as existing; and, as he commenced his Visitation in 1664 and concluded it in 1666, the Cromwellians, who are always accused of having perpetrated such spoliations, are, in this ease, most clearly exonerated.

Sir Francis Englefield was indicted for treason, fled the kingdom, was outlawed, and attainted 28 Eliz., when his estates were seized by the Crown. He died at Valladolid about the year 1592.

^{page 7 note a} This was probably Edward Stafford, son of Sir Edward Stafford, knt. by Mary, daughter of Sir William Forster, of Aldermaston, co. Berks, knight.

^{page 7 note b} This is the coat of Langford of Bradfield, from which family, and who had previously inherited it from the De la Beches, the Staffords derived it.

^{page 8 note a} This was the house, now partly pulled down, which belonged to Lord Falkland, and was purchased by Speaker Lenthall.

^{page 11 note a} This was the residence of a family of Symonds in no way related to our author. The extract from Hemingus has been corrected from Hearne's edition, 8vo. 1723, p. 264, with the exception of the word “gabello,” which appears preferable to “caballo,” as Hearne printed it.

^{page 15 note a} For an account of these games, see the Annalia Dubrensia, concerning “Mr. Robert Dover's Olympic games upon Cotswold Hills,” published 1636. See also Rudder's History of Gloucestershire.

^{page 16 note a} See an account of this monument in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1825, but the coats of arms are not mentioned. It is, in all probability, the monument of John Lord Lovel, father of Francis Viscount Lovel, who died 4 Edw. IV. The coat of Deincourt, his mother being an heir of that family, would seem to establish the fact.

^{page 16 note b} This is the crest of Lovel, viz. a talbot passant.

^{page 20 note a} He died in 1644–5, having married one of the Hampdens of Hartwell, distantly related to the great Parliamentarian.

^{page 21 note a} The last heir male of this family died in 1382, leaving one daughter and heir, who married, and had issue ; consequently the tradition that this church was built by the maiden daughters of the last lord falls to the ground.

^{page 22 note a} More anciently renowned for its tournaments.

^{page 24 note a} The wit and poet.

^{page 24 note b} This was the fight of Cropredy bridge, of which Clarendon gives a good account, and mentions Colonel Thelwell.

^{page 25 note a} These coats are so recorded by Nash, from Habingdon's MS.

^{page 26 note a} Symonds here remarks “Justieiarius I suppose,” but the monument commemorated John Throckmorton under-treasurer of England—the word was therefore themurarius.

^{page 27 note a} See Brand's Popular Antiquities.

^{page 29 note a} These armorial bearings may be referred to the marriage of Florence, one of the daughters of William Darell by his wife Elizabeth, who was daughter and heir of Thomas Calston of Littlecote, co. Wilts, and who married Thomas à Bruges or Bridges of Coberly. The old manor-house has been long since taken down, and every vestige of the stained glass destroyed or disposed of.

^{page 32 note a} This family was ancient and of good repute. See I. C. 22, f. 130, in Coll. Arm.; also the pedigree of Barnard, f. 362.

^{page 33 note a} He gives a rude drawing of this castle, from which it appears that the towers were then surmounted by conical roofs in the French style.

^{page 35 note a} The church here is well deserving of notice, especially for its beautiful tower. Symonds could not have seen it, or he would, undoubtedly, have mentioned it. See an account of it in Phelps's Somersetshire, the author of which has omitted several coats of arms in glass in the different windows, many of them however mutilated or reversed. The principal coats are Quarterly, Berkeley, Botetourt, Somery, and Zouche of Mortimer, the same as on the monument, of which the author speaks, in the chancel, but in noticing which he calls the coat of Botetourt erroneously Mohun.

^{page 36 note a} Henry Mordaunt, second Earl of Peterborough, K.G., ob. 1697.

^{page 39 note a} Of a good family : see I. C. 1, f. 236, in Coll. Arm.

^{page 40 note a} Now pulled down

^{page 40 note b} Hugh Courtenay of Boeonnoe and his second wife, daughter of ———Beaumont.

^{page 41 note a} It is remarkable that Symonds makes no allusion to the fine church at Crediton.

^{page 42 note a} ? James Earl of Douglas, elected 3 Edw. IV

^{page 51 note a} She was third daughter and coheir of John Lord Mohun, one of the founders of the Order of the Garter, and sister of the wife of John Lord Strange.

^{page 54 note a} Afterwards Sir Edward Walker, Garter King of Arms.

^{page 60 note a} Camden's version is:—

By Tre, Ros, Pol, Lan, Caer, and Pen,

You may know the most Cornish men.—Remaines, p. 142.

^{page 65 note *} ? Colonel Edward Doyley, afterwards Governor of Jamaica.

^{page 68 note a} This and the two following coats ought clearly to be impaled and not quarterly.

^{page 74 note a} Between the preceding list of officers, &c. and this vocabulary, a leaf appears to have been torn out before the volume was acquired by the Museum. An extensive vocabulary of the Cornish language is given by Borlase.

^{page 75 note a} This assertion, so entirely destitute of proof, may be attributed to the prejudice of the writer against his opponents. Sir Richard Buller of Shillingham, the son of Mr. Francis Buller, was one of the members of the “rebel “Parliament. The Visitation of 1620 contains the family pedigree, from which it appears that, although the grandfather of Sir Richard became seated in Cornwall by his marriage with a coheiress of Trethurffe, he was, nevertheless, descended from a long line of ancestors (eight generations are given) in Somersetshire, and these “matches “so flippantly pronounced to be “false ”are recorded in that pedigree.

^{page 77 note a} This Commission occurs in the original some pages back, but is inserted here in order not to interfere with the narrative. In one corner is a shield bearing three chevrons, the coat of Grenville, with an inescocheon.

^{page 78 note a} Engraved in the Gentleman's Magazine for September 1844.

^{page 80 note a} These are the arms of Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter. He had frequent disputes with the Abbot of Tavistock, whom he excommunicated, and died in 1519.

^{page 83 note a} Sir Hugh Courtenay, one of the founders of the Garter.

^{page 83 note b} John, Baron Northwode, married the sister of Bishop Grandison.

What remain of these coats are noted in the Transactions of the Exeter Dioceaan Architectural Society, vol. iii. p. 105. For the “rebels sacrilege ”at Exeter see Ryves's Mercurius Rusticus, p. 158, &c. 5th edition, and which, if not exaggerated, must have been on their second occupation of that city.

^{page 84 note a} He became Baron Grandison on the death of his brother, and died in 1369.

^{page 86 note a} These seem to be variations of the coat of Weston. Vide aidea.

^{page 88 note a} Monument of Hugh 2nd Earl of Devon, and Margaret Bohun.

^{page 88 note a} Monument of Sir Peter Courtenay, son ofthe Earl, K.G.

^{page 89 note a} The Bishop was of earlier date. He died in 1150

^{page 92 note a} There is one other still remaining, viz. that of William Langeton, 1413.

^{page 95 note a} Henry Earl of Devon, created Marquess of Exeter 1525, K.G.

^{page 99 note a} All the armorial glass here, as generally elsewhere, has been destroyed or abstracted.

^{page 101 note a} Henry Lord Daubeney, created Earl of Bridgewater 1538.

^{page 102 note a} The Editor is indebted to Sir F. Madden for the suggestion that this officer was the son of Mr. John Bill the King's Printer.

^{page 106 note a} This and the two following documents are alluded to, and commented upon, by Clarendon ; and one sentence of this somewhat mutinous petition is quoted. The editor is not aware that they have, hitherto, been printed at length.

^{page 107 note a} See before, p. 49.

^{page 111 note a} For the quarterings of Poulet see Fun. Cert. I. 31, f. 23, Coll. Arm.

^{page 113 note a} Collins gives only two sons.

^{page 114 note a} Collins gives only two daughters.

^{page 115 note a} Eight other shields of arms as then existing “in Mr. Lewston's house” are given Harl. MS. 1427, fol. 43 b.

^{page 123 note a} This is an error.

^{page 123 note b} An error ; Viscount Howard of Bindon, co, Dorset.

^{page 124 note a} Hutchins notices these inscriptions as having been copied by Symonds, but does not give the arms.

^{page 125 note a} Misprinted by Hutchins “at Bed… in Bedfordshire,” vol. i. p. 135.

^{page 127 note a} See Clarendon, who likewise admits the atrocities committed at divers times by this man, especially in Ireland.

^{page 128 note a} The pedigree of this family with their arms, and going back three generations anterior to this individual, is in 1 C. 22, f. 34. Coll. Arm,—but vide postea. He was a “rebel”!

^{page 130 note a} Perhaps for Sir Stephen Popham, temp. Hen. VI.

^{page 130 note b} The two Hartgills, but not knights.

^{page 131 note a} An error. Robert Lord Hungerford ob. 1459.

^{page 131 note b} The Bishop who consecrated was William Ascough, or Askew. Inf. Rev. J. E. Jackson, of Leigh Delamere, whose Hungerford Collections are most extensive and valuable.

^{page 131 note c} This and some of the preceding impalements with Hungerford are reversed.

^{page 133 note a} See 2 C. 22, f. 364, Coll. Arm. Pedigree of Gorges.

^{page 133 note b} See Hoare's History of South Wiltshire, Cawden Hundred, p. 31, where are two folio engravings of this monument.

^{page 134 note a} Symonds's omissions may be found in the Description of Salisbury Cathedral, 4to. 1774, p. 70.

^{page 135 note a} There was no bishop of the name of Young.

^{page 135 note b} He died 1523. His monument does not exist, nor is it given in the work before mentioned, published in 1774.

^{page 135 note c} Giles de Bridport, ob. 1262.

^{page 136 note a} This expression, twice used, may be thus explained. He had sided with the Parliament!

^{page 136 note b} Engraved in Gough's Sepulchral Monuments and in Carter's Ancient Sculpture and Painting.

^{page 140 note a} In some cases the above coats differ from those recorded by Gough in the Sepulchral Monuments.

^{page 143 note a} He was son of one of the clerks of the Privy Seal. See Vis. Berks C. 12, Coll. Arm.

^{page 143 note b} John Chamberlayne, married to Anne, daughter of…. Bushell, of Netherhaven, co. Wilts, was of Donnington Castle, 1623. Vide C. 18, Coll. Arm. f. 114.

^{page 144 note a} Query if not more south-east, viz. on Greenham Common, where, as well as on the Wash Common, the battle took place.

^{page 147 note a} Dr. Usher, bishop of Armagh, preached before the King at Christchurch.

^{page 149 note a} At the side of a former page is this memorandum: “The cannon was throwne downe under Dennington castle, and the horses lost.”

^{page 150 note a} The site of Hall Place may be identified by Ambrose field, where there is a tradition of a chapel attached to the mansion, said to have been dedicated to St. Ambrose.—Inf. F. A. Carrington, Esq. the owner. By careful comparison with a rubbing, this strange doggrel seems just intelligible, with the exception of the word “Ellermis.”

^{page 153 note a} Probably Sir Sampson Foliot, living temp. H. 3 and Edw. I.; see Hundred Rolls, vol. i. p. 13, “gone.”

^{page 153 note a} Symonds, from the same reason no doubt, failed to notice the chapel, now known as the Darell aisle, containing vestiges of very interesting brasses of that family, though then perhaps, like the rest, “ gone.”

^{page 154 note a} A great portion of this mansion, not mentioned by Lysons, still exists, and is occupied as a farm-house. The arms over the porch have disappeared, as also those which were in the church.

^{page 156 note a} She was the daughter and coheir of John Lord Berners.

^{page 157 note a} There is some discrepancy between these arms as given by Symonds and those drawn by Ashmole, C. 12, f. 114. Coll. Arm. See also the Unton Inventories, edited by Mr.John Gough Nichols, 1841, 4to.

^{page 157 note b} Sir Edward Unton's will was proved 1582.

^{page 158 note a} The present stone (Vide Ashmole's Berks) is not the same, but restored in 1658 : “the former,” he says, “was pulled down in the Civill Wars about 1643.” But it was in 1646 that the church received material injury, during the siege of the adjoining manor-house.

^{page 161 note a} A coat of “Greene ”is here sketched : viz. Argent, on a chevron sable between three acorns slipped proper, a “granado ”or.

^{page 162 note a} The print-seller whose name is attached to many portraits and other engravings, now rare.

^{page 164 note a} Henry the Fifth and his three brothers, but carelessly copied.

^{page 169 note a} There is a drawing of this glass in C. 36, f. 31, Coll. Arm. Three shields of arms are also given, viz. 1, Or, two lions passant azure ; 2, England ; 3, Bushbury.

^{page 169 note b} Vide for these, C. 35, f. 18, 39, &c. Coll. Arm.

^{page 170 note a} Sir Thomas Stanley married Margaret the daughter and coheir of Sir George Vernon of Haddon, co. Derby, called “King of the Peake.” Vincent's Derby, f. 11, Coll. Arm.

^{page 171 note a} John Arundel, Bishop of Lichfleld 1496, translated to Exeter.

^{page 175 note a} This must be an error. The male is a Peshall, and the female coat is not that of Cotes. Thomas Grosvenor of Bellaport married Isabella, daughter and coheir of Richard Peshall.

^{page 179 note b} Not the coat of Mohun, nor was there any match of Beaumont and Mohun.

^{page 183 note a} It is difficult to interpret this, unless the writer meant to stigmatize the wife also as a Rebel. That Sir William was plundered by the Royalists, and that his wife was a most exemplary and religious woman, may be seen by reference to Nichols's Leicestershire, vol. iii. p. 155, &c.

^{page 184 note a} Francis the second Earl, and his wife Catherine Pole.

^{page 190 note a} The celebrated Colley Cibber is deduced from the Wyrleyes and Keynes. See pedigree, Baker's Northamptonshire, vol. i. p. 356.

^{page 190 note b} In a former page of the MS. (fol. 8 b), where the “Garrisons in Warwickshire ”were commenced but erased, this man is described as “Tinkar Fox governour, sometime tinkar, and livd in Woodstock”.

^{page 191 note a} Sir Francis Leigh, created Baron Dunsmore and Earl of Chichester.

^{page 195 note a} William Mucklow.—See Ped. C. 30, f. 89, Coll. Arm.

^{page 195 note b} A line is afterwards inserted : “Sir W^m. Vavasour first Governor of Heref.”

^{page 198 note a} There is a drawing of this figure, C. 25, f. 3, Coll. Arm. where also many of the coats here recorded, are given.

^{page 203 note a} Grandfather of Robert Earl of Oxford.

^{page 204 note a} See the account of this (somewhat) apocryphal personage, in Coxe's Monmouthshire, with the references to Leland, &c.

^{page 221 note a} These coates are given in C. 34, f. 95, Coll. Arm., as also the preceding coats in glass, though with some variations. See also the pedigrees of Bradburne and Sacheverell, Vincent 146.

^{page 221 note b} All these tombs are described in C. 34, Coll. Arm. See also the pedigree of Cockayne, same MS., and in Vincent 146.

^{page 222 note a} Ralph Lord Basaett of Drayton, K.G. ob. 1390. See a drawing of this monument, C. 36, f. 58, Coll. Arm.

^{page 226 note a} Robert Derham was Fellow of Peter House, Cambridge, and incumbent of Stathern.

^{page 229 note a} For an account of these monuments, &c., see Nichols&s Leicestershire.

^{page 234 note a} No doubt a heart; and the legend absurd.

^{page 236 note a} This is the monument of Sir Richard Herbert of Ewyas, ancestor of the Earls of Pembroke and Carnarvon.

^{page 237 note a} These are the eight children of Sir Richard Herbert of Ewyas ; William was created Earl of Pembroke, 1551.

^{page 253 note a} See Vincent's Wales, and Le Neve's Baronets, Coll. Arm. Sir Henry Salusbury married the daughter of Sir Thomas Middleton.

^{page 267 note a} Matilda Mowbray, niece of Sir Walter Clifford. See Gough's Camden, vol. ii. p. 458.

^{page 267 note b} The date given in Camden is May 1,1507 ; in C. 25, f. 4, Coll. Arm. May 10, 1527. The well-known compiler of the Voyages, &c. was of this family.

^{page 268 note a} This and the monuments of Hakluyt and Barnaby are given in C. 25, f. 4, Coll. Arm.

^{page 268 note b} This part of the manuscript was purposely torn away, as will be seen by the Diary i the following page.
