Barony of Wokingham. Prince Oeorge of Denmark. 



It appears from the Patent Rolls (1 Will. & M. part ii., No. 15), 

 that the King and Queen, on his marriage with the Princess Anne 

 (afterwards Queen Anne), granted on the 6th day of April, 1689, 

 to Prince George of Denmark and Norway, the Barony of Ock- 

 ingham, in the county of Berks, Earldom of Kendal, in the 

 county of Westmoreland, and the Dukedom of Cumberland. 

 Prince George died 1708, when all these titles became extinct. 



Wokingham Token. 



In the reign of King Charles the Second, the principal trades- 

 men of a great number of towns issued tokens. 



There was one issued by Mr. William Anderson, of Wokingham ; 

 one of these was given to me by Mr. G. T. Prince of Reading. 

 The device on one side is the inscription " Will. Andaeson," sur- 

 rounding the Grocer's arms ; and on the other In. Ockingham, 

 surrounding the initials W. A. within a circle. This token was 

 not known in Wokingham till I brought it there, and is supposed 

 to be unique. [See woodcut, p. 68.]
