grey horse for the Ladies' Plate, and in 1751, also at Barnet, on 

 September 26, he ran his nutmeg grey, " Frosty-face." Again, 

 in September, 1758, at Chipping Norton, his chestnut, " Smiling 

 Tom." 



In 1753, his sister-in-law, Lady Caroline Harpur, in a letter 

 now at Calke Abbey, mentions that Mr. John Harpur is gone to 

 France, and has sent a bureau and another piece of furniture to

 Edward. In their mother, Lady Harpur's, will she leaves her son

In the S.E. Window are the arms of Despenser and Basset. 



In a south Window the arms of Aylesbury and another, bearing
