predecessors of the last lord were all named Ralph. 
52a, ‘‘It is necessary to observe that Edward the First is sometimes called 
Edward the Fourth, the three Saxon monarchs who bore the name of Edward

cathedral, from 1306 to 1315. In the latter year he was consecrated Bishop 
of Salisbury, where he died on March 14th, 1329.

The farura was an apparel or lace sewn on to the long edge of the linen

England can be given, than in the following note, which was kindly written

(Bemrose aud Sons, Derby, 1881,) by the authors of this paper, by Henry 
Bradshaw, Esq., Librarian of the University Library, Cambridge. Though 
not written to illustrate this inventory, it will be found to cover every

In the old Church of England, the Services were either— 
(1) For the different hours (Mattins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, 
Vespers, and Compline), said in the Choir. 
(2) For Processions, in the Church or Churchyard. 
(3) For the Mass, said at the Altar, or 
(4) For occasions, such as Marriage, Visitation of the Sick, Burial, etc., 
said as occasion required.
