NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2°A S. V. 117., Mar. 27, '58. 



Tv)o Brothers of the same Christian name (pas- 

 sim.) — In the churchyard of Dunsbourn, near 

 Cirencester, I found an old tombstone of 1611, — 

 ♦' To the memory of John JeflFeries, who had viii. chil- 

 dren, nil. sonnes and iiii. daughters, as follows ; — 

 John, George, Thomas, Mm, 

 Elizabeth, Anne, Susannah, Elizabeth."

King Johns Treasure (2"* S. iii. 126.) — Mr. 

 Sansom asks if there is any tradition as to the 

 precise spot where King John's treasures were 

 lost? As a boy I often went from Norwich to 

 Leicester by the Yarmouth and Birmingham mail, 

 and have had a spot pointed out to me as the 

 exact place by the coachmen and guards with 

 whom I travelled. It is on the left hand side of 

 the road from Lynn to Long- Sutton, and about 

 halfway between the two places. It is a dark- 

 looking, stagnant pool of water, and I always 

 knew it by the name of " King John's Hole." I 

 can also very well remember that it was said that 

 some of the treasure had been dug up while 

 draining the land on the banks of this pool.
