NOTES AKD QUERIES.

moved, and as the object of record and memorial 

 was fully effected by the existing monuments, it 

 was thought needless to restore them. The re- 

 presentative of the family, however, who lives 

 about two hundred miles off, has lately insisted 

 on their being replaced, and the present incum- 

 bent, who had nothing to do with their removal, 

 and who objects altogether to such exhibitions in 

 the chancels of churches, is required to allow this. 

 I shall feel obliged to any of the readers of " N. & 

 Q," to inform me what is the law on this point, 

 and whether the incumbent can be compelled to 

 allow what he believes to be a simple exhibition 

 of family pride. It seems strange, that while 

 representations by painting of scenes in our Sa- 

 viour's life are objected to as of popish tendency, 

 the veriest daubs of rampant lions, griffins, and 

 bloody hands, are cherished with a most tenacious 

 devotion. E. B. 



Rump Songs. — I should be obliged to any cor- 

 respondent who could help to a solution of the 

 following. It is published in a Collection of the 

 choicest Poems and Songs relating to the late Times, 

 and continued by the most eminent Witts from A° 

 1639 to 1661 : — 



« The Riddle. 

 " S-hall's have a Game at Put, to pass away the time ? 

 X-pect no foul-play ; though I do play the Knave 

 I-have a King at hand, yea that I have : 

 C-Cards be ye true, then the Game is mine. 

 E-ejo3'ce my Heart, to see thee then repine. 

 A-that's lost, that's Cuckold's luck. 

 T-rey comes like Quarter, to pull down the Buck." 



Also of the following distich at the head of a 

 poem in the same collection, entitled " Chronos- 

 ticon DecoUationis Caroli Regis tricesimo die 

 Januarii, secunda hora Pomeridiana. Anno Dom. 



MDCXLVIII. ? — 



" Ter Deno Jan Labens ReX SoLe CaDente • 



CaroLVS eXVtVs SoLIo SCeptroqVe SeCVto." 



The third word in the first line is printed very 

 indistinctly ; it appears to be "Jan'." Libya. 



Cambridge. 



The California Trees. — Some years ago the 

 famous large trees of California were called Wash- 

 ingtonia gigantea, and are still so called, I believe, 

 in the States. When, and by whom, was the name 

 changed to Wellingtonia gigantea f or was the 

 latter name first given ? H. S. 



Boll of Manors, Sfc. — I have recently read a 

 roll concerning which I should be obliged by any 

 information. It is a list of manors and of ser- 

 vices by which land was held, at the time of its 

 compilation, in many of the parishes of an eastern 

 county.* For what reason, or by what authority, 

 such a document was made is not stated ; perhaps 

 because the beginning is lost. No date is to be 

 found; it must, however, be earlier than 1324, 

 for the " magister milite templi " occurs side by 



side with the " Prior hospital fertur." A person, 

 too, is spoken of as holding lands " A tempor' h r 

 attacii dni E r qui nunc est." The " h " is no 

 doubt Henry II. ; the Edward who now is, I take 

 to be Edward II. The roll is in private hands. 

 I shall be obliged to anyone who will inform me 

 why such a record was formed ; how its date is to 

 be ascertained ; and whether similar documents 

 are to be found in our public depositories. 



Glis p. Templ. 



Knights Templars' Lands. — Can anyone point 

 out to me anywhere, in print or manuscript, a 

 list of the lands held by the Knights Templars at 

 the time of their suppression in England ? Does 

 a chartulary exist of any of their houses ? 



Glis p. Tempi,. 



Pancroundel. — In the Anglo-Saxon boundaries 

 of Overton, near Marlborough (see Kemble's Codex 

 Diplom., vol. v. p. 237., Charter mcxx., occurs the 

 following : " Thence to the Pancroundel, in ih& 

 middle." In the same work (Charter mcclxvi.), 

 Abban Croundel is also mentioned as a boundary. 

 In the village of Sevington, also in North Wilts, 

 there is a field called in modern surveys Patcur- 

 nell, which sounds very like a corruption of the 

 former word. AVhat language does Pancroundel 

 belong to ? and what does it mean ? J. 



The Reformation in Ireland: Vallancey's " Green 

 Book." — Will some of your readers kindly oblige 

 me with the titles, &c., of early monographs, or 

 other works, printed or manuscript, directly or 

 indirectly treating of the introduction and pro- 

 gress of the Reformation in Ireland from 1530 to 

 1600, and the opposition it received, and sketches 

 of its promoters and opponents ; and if rare or 

 MS. point out their present depository ? I have 

 consulted the works of Sir James Ware and his 

 son Robert, O'Sullivan, Beare, and Rothe; the 

 State Papers of Henry Vllf., Shirley's Letters, 

 and the modern works of Phelan, Dean Murray, 

 Bishop Mant, and the Rev. Messrs. Brennan and 

 King ; but what I would wish to see are contem- 

 poraneous accounts on both sides. Perhaps Ge- 

 neral Vallancey's Green Booh, which Mr. Mokein 

 (2"*^ S. vii. 59.) states to be in his possession, 

 would apply the titles, &c., of some articles ; and 

 if this be so, Mk. Morrin would confer a favour 

 on the writer by pointing them out in the columns 

 of " N. & Q.," or in a letter addressed to the care 

 of the Editor. J. V. N. 



Portrait of a' Divine. — A friend has asked me 

 whether I remember to have heard of a divine of 

 the time of Queen Elizabeth, or from that to 

 Charles I., whose favourite motto was " ut potiar 

 patiar ? " Another question was, whether the 

 same person edited or translated Vincentius Li- 

 rinensis ? 



When I add that the object of the inquiries is
