NOTES AND QUERIES.

Dr. Stukeley with the manuscript of the Itinerary 
of Richard of Cirencester, which has led to so 
much curious discussion. It would be interesting 
to learn whether Bertram’s papers were be- 
queathed to any public library at Copenhagen. 
Sir James Thornhill was in the habit of making 
sketches and descriptive memoranda in his various 
travels and excursions, Some years ago one of 
his pocket-books was lent to me, in which he had 
not only written notices of the places visited, but 
made very cleyer pen sketches of seyeral objects. 
Whilst in my possession, I copied many pages, 
and also traced some of the drawings. Among 
the latter is a Market Cross at Ipswich, long since 
destroyed, also the Sessions House and the Custom 
House of Harwich, with various antiquities, &c., 
at Ryswick, Delph, Tournay, Brussels, and the 
Hague. I have often regretted that I did not 
curious facts and aneedotes. I have tried in vain 
to ascertain the name and address of the possessor. 
He was a country gentleman, and lodged in 
Southampton Row, Russell Square. The volume 
is dated 1711, and contains full accounts of build- 
ings and works of art. He says, “ Killigrew told 
King Charles that Ipswich had a large river with- 
out water, streets without names, and a town 
without people.” 
In July, 1817, I published a small volume en- 
titled Antiquarian and Architectural Memoranda 
relating to Norwich Cathedral, in which were two 
copper-plates, a ground-plan of the church, and a 
view of the west front; with woodcuts of the font, 
and of the Erpingham gateway, both engraved 
by John Thompson. 
sold by auction (by Mr. Southgate of Fleet Street), 
with the stock of the work, and have been resold 
by the purchaser. I have sought in vain to re- 
obtain the woodcuts, and shall be gratified to find | 
that it is still practicable. 
After many years’ search for the documents, &e., | 
referred to in this and my preceding letter, I am 
still reluctant to abandon their pursuit. That 
valuable collections are sometimes protected from 
destruction, in obscurity, for years, is shown by 
the loss and recovery of the well-known collection 
of Architectural Designs and Drawings by John 
Thorpe, now in the Soane Museum. That sin- 
gular and interesting series was in the possession 
of the Earl of Warwick, in the latter part of the 
last century. In 1807 I applied to his lordship 
for permission to examine it; but he informed me 
that Richard Cumberland, the author, had bor- 
rowed it many years before, in order to submit it 
to Lord George Germaine; and that it had not 
since been heard of. Thus, from before 1785, 
when Lord George Germaine died, the drawings 
were lost until about thirty years afterwards, when 
I purchased them for Sir John Soane, at the sale 
of the library of — Brooke, Esq., of Paddington 
Zhe plates, gud cuts ‘were | place of study ; nor till long after the establishment 
(probably a relative of the Earl of Warwick), into 
whose possession they had unaccountably passed.

THE MIDDLE TEMPLE. 
In Mr. Frederick Devon’s Pell Records, vol. iii. 
p- 34., there is an entry in the Issue Roll of Easter, 
41 Henry III. 1257, of a payment. 
“To the Brethren of the Middle Temple, £4. in 
part of £8. appointed alms for the support of three 
chaplains to celebrate divine service, at Master Term, 
in the 41st year, by writ patent.” 
And in p.88. is the following writ for payment 
at Easter Term, 4 Edward I. 1276 :— 
«© Pay out of our Treasury. from the day of the death 
| of the Lord King Henry, our Father, of renowned 
copy the whole volume, as it contained many | 
memory, for each year, to our beloved Master and 
Brethren of the Knights Templars in England, £8. 
| which our father granted to them by his charter to be 
received yearly at our Exchequer, for the support of 
three chaplains, daily for ever, to perform divine 
service in the New Temple, London, one of whom is 
to perform service for our aforesaid father, the other 
for all Christian people, and the third for the faithful 
deceased, as was accustomed to be done in the time of 
our aforesaid father. Witness, &c.” 
I presume that there can be no doubt that the 
grant referred to in the last extract is that which 
is mentioned in the first. But if so, what is meant 
by “ Brethren of the Middle Temple?” 
Both entries are before the suppression of the 
order, and it was not till long after the suppression 
that the Temple was occupied by the lawyers as a 
of lawyers there, that is to say, more than a hun- 
dred years after the date of the first extract, that 
the Temple was divided into two houses, called, as 
now, the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple. 
Added to which, the church of the Temple is in 
that division which is called the Inner Temple. 
Can any of your correspondents favour me with 
the precise words of the original record, or explain 
the meaning of the term used ? Epwarp Joss. 
MINOR QUERIES. 
Henry Lord Darniey. 
Can any of your readers inform me where the ee- 
lebrated Darnley, second husband of Mary, Queen 
of Scots, was born? His birth took place in 
England, where his father, Matthew Stuart, Earl 
of Lennox, was residing, being banished from 
Scotland. Henry VIII. gave the Earl his niece 
in marriage, and several estates in Yorkshire; 
amongst others, the lands of Jervaux Abbey, and 
the adjacent manor of West Serafton. Middleham 
Castle, which was then perfect, and belonged to the 
King, lies between these, and was probably at least
