MAURICE GREENE, MUS. DOC. 

 (2°« S. X. 234.) 



The Rev. Thomas Greene, D.D., vicar of St. 

 Olave's in the Old Jewry, married Mary, third 

 daughter of Maurice Shelton, Esq., of Shelton in 

 Norfolk, and Barningham in Suffolk, by Eliza- 

 beth, his wife, sister of Sir Robert Kemp, Bart., 

 of Gissing in Norfolk.* 



The Right Rev. Thomas Greene, D.D., Bishop 

 of Ely in 1723, was the son of Thomas and Sarah 

 Greene, of St. Peter's Mancroft, Norwich, where 

 he was born ; he married Catherine, sister of the 

 Right Rev. Charles Triranel, D.D., Bishop of 

 Norwich, 1707 — 1721, and had issue by her seven 

 daughters and two sons, viz. the Rev. Thomas 

 Greene, D.D., Fellow of Corpus Christi and Jesus 

 Colleges, Prebendary of Ely, and Chancellor of 

 Lichfield ; and Charles Greene, barrister-at-law, 

 registrar of the diocese of Ely. 



A short account of this Bishop Greene, with a 

 list of his writings, is given in Robert Masters's 

 History of Corpus Christi College, J. Bentham, 

 Cambridge, 1753; where his arms" are (probably 

 by mistake) described as az. three bucks trip- 

 pant, or. 



Mr. blasters mentions the Rev. John Green, 

 D.D., Regius Professor of Divinity in 1749"}", and 

 Master of Corpus Christi College in 1750; but 

 refrains from making any remarks on him, as he 

 was living at the time of the publication of the 

 work. Blomefield describes the arms of Dr. 

 Thomas Green, Bishop of Ely, as per pale gul. and 

 az. a chevron between three bucks trippant, or. 



Now in Wilby church, in Suffolk, there are 

 monuments in memory of various members of the 

 Green family, the arms thereon being, per pale 

 az. and gul. a chevron between three bucks trip- 

 pant, or; and, turning to Page's Continuation of 

 the Suffolk Traveller (p. 433.), it appears that Mr. 

 Thomas Green, author oi Euphrasy, was descended 

 from the Greens of Wilby in Suffolk, and that a 

 Memoir of him, 



" with a critique on his writings, and an account of his 

 family connections, was written by his intimate friend, 

 the Rev. James Ford, B.D., then of Ipswich, now (1844) 

 Vicar of Navestock, in Essex, for presentation among the 

 more immediate and intimate friends of the deceased ; 

 from which work we select the following particulars. . . . 

 On the paternal side he was related to Dr. Thomas Green, 

 Bishop of Ely ; and on the maternal nearly allied to . . . 

 Archbishop Sandcroft, and honest Tom Martin of Pal- 

 grave." 



* See Blomefield's Norfolk, 8vo., V. 269. 

 f See Cambridge Calendar. 



Several Greenes, bearing the same arms as the 

 Wilby branch of the family, are mentioned in 

 Blomefield's Norfolk, to which W. H. Husk is re- 

 ferred ; and it is hoped that this Note may assist 

 him in making out the connexion (if it exists) 

 between Dr. Maurice Greene and Bishop Greene.

LAWRENCE OF STUDLEY AND KIRKBY 

 FLEETHAM. 



(2'"» S. X. 116.) 



Spalatro is not quite accurate in his account 

 of this family. The Studley property was be- 

 queathed in 1845, to the late Earl de Grey, by Miss 

 Elizabeth Sophia Lawrence; and the monument 

 of which he speaks is at Kirkby Fleetham, near 

 Catterick, and not at Patrick Brompton. 



As the inscriptions on two of the Lawrence 

 monuments at Kirkby Fleetham have been incor- 

 rectly printed in Dr. Whitaker's Histo7-y of liich- 

 moTidshire, the present opportunity of handing 

 down an accurate transcript in " N. & Q." may 

 be taken with advantage. On a handsome monu- 

 ment by Flaxman is the following : — 



Near this Monument, 



Erected to his Memory, 



Lie the Remains of 



William Lawrence 



of SaiDt John's College in Cambridge, 



A.B. and F.A.S. 



The onlv son of William Lawrence Esq''<=.

William Aislabie, Esq'■^ of Studley Royal, 



In this Count3'. 



He died on the 8th Day of November, a.d. 1785, 



In the 22nd year of his Age. 



At this early Period 



His gentle manners and interesting Character 



Had so powerfully conciliated 



The Afifection and Esteem of all v.'ho knew him, 



That a longer Life 



Would rather have added to the Number, 



Than have encreased the Attachment 



Of his Friends. 



' For since the first Male Child 



To him, who did but yesterday suspire, 



There was not a more gracious Creature born.' " 



" By the Remains of his Son 



Are deposited Remains of the above mentioned 



William Lawrence Esq""". 



Who died in the 76th year of his Age 



On the 2nd Dav of September 



A.r>. 1798, 



Having sat as a Representative 



For the Borough of Ripon, 



In six Parliaments." 



" This Tablet 



Is inscribed to the Memory of 



M" Anna Sophia Lawrence, 



Who departed this Life 



On the '28th Day of July, a.d. 1802, 



In the 75th Year of her Age.
