fancies, with his garland and singing robes about him, 

 might without apology speak more of himself than I 

 mean to do, yet for me sitting here below in the cool 

 element of prose, a mortal thing among many readers of 

 no Empyreall conceit, to venture and divulge unusual 

 things of myselfe, I shall petition to the gentler sort, it 

 may not be envy to me."

Kitclienham Family (2""* S. iv. 9.) — "William 

 Kitcbenham, who died in 1676, left by will (as is 

 presumed) the yearly sum of 10s. foi* ever to the 

 "ancientest poor" of this parish (Wadhurst, 

 Sussex). This money has been always paid out 

 of a farm called Foxes, and one field in it has 

 always been known as Kitchenham Fields. It is 

 distributed by the vicar oti Ascension Day to ten 

 of his most aged parishioners. There is a further 

 stim of 10s. paid yearly from the same estate, 

 under the same bequest, to the minister of the 

 parish for the time being, for preaching a sermon 

 on Ascension Day. The present owner and oc- 

 cupier of Foxes Farm is Aylmer Haly, Esq. 

 (Commissioners' Reports on Charities, vol. xxx. 

 (Nov. 26, 1836), fo. 746. 



In Berry's Sussex Oenealogies, at fol. 334. there 

 is a pedigree of Gardner, of the Visitation 1634, 

 which declares Loora, daughter and sole heir of 

 John Kitchingham of Ashburnham, in co. Sussex, 

 to have been married to John Gardner of Ruspar, 

 CO. Sussex, whose great-grandson and heir was 

 aged nine years at the date of the Visitation, in 

 which the arms of Kitchingham quartered with 

 Gardner are given as, " Argent on a chevron 

 quarterly, Gules and Sable between three Eagles 

 displayed of the last, as many bezants." 



In the Catalogue of Cambridge Oraduatea, 1787,

The Braose Family (2°^ S. 5ii. 3S0. 412. 476.) 

 — Attention has lately been called in " N. & Q." 

 to the family of Braose. Allow me a little space 

 for some corrections in their early history. Dug- 

 dale's errors hold to the present time. In Ba- 

 ronage, \. 414., he states that William de Braose 



(temp. William the Conqueror) married the daugh- 

 ter of Judhel of Totenais ; that his son Philip mar- 

 ried Berta, daughter of Milo, Earl of Hereford ; 

 that William, bis son, was the same who died in 

 exile in 1212. Making the two Williams one per- 

 son created a difficulty as to their wives. The 

 younger married Maud St. Waleric. What should 

 be done with Berta, the wife of the elder ? Dug- 

 dale transfers her to Philip. What should be done 

 with Philip's wife ? Transfer her to William, his 

 father ; and suppose that, when William, his son, 

 called Judhel de Totenais " avus," he must have 

 meant great grandfather. These mistakes may be 

 corrected from Dugdale himself. (See Mon , 1st 

 edit., i. 319. Fx BiU. Cott. Jul. D., xi. fol. 26.) 



We find the name of Philip's wife in a charter 

 to Sele Priory (Mon. i. 581.) " Hanc confirma- 

 tionem Philippi concessit uxor ejus Aanor et 

 Wittus fil' suus," &c. Aanor was doubtless the 

 daughter of Judhel. 



In another charter to Sele (Mon..y ib.) William, 

 Philip's son, says, "Ad hoc testes idoneos adhib'eo 

 Bertam conjugem meam, Philippumfratrem meum" 

 so that Berta was wife of William ; and he bad a 

 brother Philip, which Philip is mentioned in 2 Job. 

 (Rot. Obi, p. 94'.) as uncle to the William who 

 died in 1212, and must have been then more than 

 eighty years of age, if his was the charter to Sele, 

 one of the witnesses to which was Seffrid, Bishop 

 of Chichester, 1125 to 1148. Agreeing with what 

 I have written is a pedigree by Roger Dodsworth 

 in the Bodleian Library, iii. 12.

Rudhalls, the Bell-founders, Sfc. (2"^ S. iii. 76.) 

 — Although the copy of the Catalogue of the 

 Rudhalls' Bells, respecting which S. M. H. O. 

 inquires, does not appear to occupy that place on 

 the walls of the Bodleian Library to which his 

 memory assigns it, another exemplar may be 

 found in that library among the Browne Willis 

 MSS. (folio, vol. xliii. 25.), the title of which I 

 subjoin : 



«' A Catalogue of bells cast by the Rudhalls of Glou- 

 cester from 1648 to Lady-Day, 1751, for sixteen cities in 

 forty-four several counties, the whole number being 2972,

Printed at Gloucester, on a large sheet. The 

 same volume contains also the following lists :
