PKOCKEDINGS FOR COMPOUNDING. 151 



Henry VIII. granted all the property to Francis Talbot, fifth 

 Earl of Shrewsbury. On the death of his grandson, Gilbert, 

 seventh Earl of Shrewsbury, without male issue, the manor and 

 rectory of Glossop passed with his younger daughter and co- 

 heiress, Alathea, in marriage to Thomas, fourteenth Earl of 

 Arundel and first Earl of Surrey. On the death of her husband, 

 in 1646, Glossop did not pass to their son, Henry Frederick, 

 fifteenth Earl of Arundel — and in whom the dukedom of Norfolk 

 was afterwards revived — but remained, as part of her dowry, with 

 the Countess Alathea. Adherence to the Roman faith was the 

 excuse for seizing this property. When the Parliamentary 

 Commissioners visited Glossop in 1650, they reported that the 

 impropriate tithes alone were worth £^S°-
