The Jervoises of Herriard and Britford, by H. F. T. 
Jervoise. A paper of thirteen pages, with six illustrations of family 
portraits and two reproductions from MS. cartulary of 1551. The 
Ancestor, No. 8, December, 1902. 
This is an important sketch of the history of this old Wessex family 
by the present head of the house. The first named Jerveys is found at 
Kidderminster. His son Richard settled in London in the early part of 
the sixteenth century, and became alderman in 1543 and sheriff three — 
years later. He amassed great wealth as a mercer, and among the — 
manors that he purchased in various parts of England was Britford, near 
Salisbury, which, after the lapse of three centuries and a half is still in 
the hands of his descendants. Richard’s grandson, Sir Thomas Jervoise, 
dubbed knight by James I. at Salisbury in 1611, made a great match 
with the heiress of Powlett of Herriard. He and his three sons fought 
on the Parliament side in the Civil War. To him succeeded another 
Thomas, High Sheriff for Hants and knight of the shire. A fourth 
Thomas built the present house at Herriard. His grandson, Tristram, 
who lived at Britford, spent much money in improving that estate, and 
re-purchased Stratford Tony, which his grandfather had sold to pay 
electioneering expenses. Tristram died unmarried and the estates passed 
to his younger brother, George. In another generation the name of 
Jervoise would have died out but that George’s daughter and only 
surviving child, the heir of Herriard and Britford, gave the old name to 
her husband, whose great grandson has written this short outline of the 
history of his people. Extracts from the household books and letters of — 
Sir Thomas Jerveys and an inventory of the goods of Sir Richard 
Powlett are given at the close of this valuable article. E. E. D. 
Salisbury. ‘Notes on Two Nevill Shields at Salisbury: by the Rey. 
E. E. Dorling. Three pages, one illustration. The Ane No. 8, 
January, 1904. 
A short account of two remarkable pieces of anemia glass in the 
‘‘ Halle of John Halle,’ Messrs. Watson’s china warehouse, on the New ¥ 
Canal, at Salisbury. The shields are those of Richard Nevill, Karl of 
Salisbury, and his son, the King maker, and were put up about the year- 
1470. Two monochrome reproductions of measured drawings by the 
writer of the article are given. These shields are of great interest and 
importance as genuine examples of fifteenth century armory. That of 
the’ elder Nevill is a quartered coat of four grand quarters: 1st and 4th, 
the indented fess of Montagu quartered with Monthermers’ eagle ; 2nd_ 
and 8rd, the silver saltire on gules of Neville differenced with the gobony 
label silver and azure, which he employed in token of his Beaufort descent. 
The great Earl of Warwick’s shield is one of the most remarkable of the 
many displays of his arms, being quarterly of seven coats arranged in
