Limerick Castle. He was the author of a book called “ The Practice 
of Quietness,” and some others.! Gabriel Sangar, who died in 
1678, also appears in the biographies as an author. He refused to 
conform in 1662, and was ejected (See Calamy). Peter Adams, his 
successor, was also a writer. The name of his book I have not 
recovered at this moment, but a copy of it used to lie in the vestry 
of Steeple Ashton Church. It had a ring and a chain to fasten it 
to a desk, and was given by his widow, to be read by any of the 
congregation, whilst they were waiting for the coming of the 
minister. There are some curious documents in some of the old 
parish books, among them an inventory of goods belonging to the 
church before the Reformation.’ 
1George Webbe, son of the Rev. Hugh Webbe, Rector of Bromham, was 
born there in 158]. He entered first at University College, Oxford, in 1598, but 
became in the same year a scholar of Corpus Christi College. When 24 years 
old he was made Vicar of Steeple Ashton, being inducted, 14th May, 1605. In 
1621 he was inducted to the Rectory of St. Peter and St. Paul, in Bath, where 
he kept a school. In 1624 he was made D.D., and Chaplain to Charles I., and 
Bishop of Limerick 1634 to his death 1641. There is an engraving of him by 
Slater, prefixed to his ‘‘ Practice of Quietness,” with arms, the See of Limerick 
impaling, for Webbe, a cross between four faleons. He translated some plays 
of Terence. Several of his family were buried in Bromham chureh-yard, and 
by their merchant’s mark were evidently clothiers. A Hugh Webb, gentleman, 
occupied Bewood, temp. CharlesI. In Steeple Ashton Register are five entries 
of the baptism of the Bishop’s children. Theophilus, 1607; Dorcas, 1608 ; 
Abraham, 1610; Hugh, 1612; George, 1614—5. 
2TLaurence Eliot, appointed 1771, was an active member of the ‘‘ Feathers 
Tavern Association.” Samuel Hey, 1787 to 1828, was third son of Richard 
Hey, of Pudsey, near Leeds. His eldest brother was John Hey, Norrisian 
Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, and the next elder brother was William 
Hey, one of the most eminent surgeons of his day in Yorkshire. [See Whita- 
ker’s Loidis and Elmete, p. 84, for his portrait.] A younger brother was Dr. 
Richard Hey, Fellow of Sidney, Cambridge. Samuel, the Vicar, had been 
Fellow and Tutor of Magdalene College. He was buried in the chureh-yard. 
The pedigree of Hey is given in ‘‘ Thoresby’s Ducatus Leodiensis,” p. 4. The 
‘¢Vicar’s Library” was left by Mr. Hey. There are some papers and tracts 
purchased by him from Mr. Richard Wainhouse, once Vicar of Keevil, and some 
pocket books of parochial notes by one Baggs, clerk to Mr. Hicks sen. [a 
- lawyer], and also parish clerk.
