(11) Saint Crosses : — St. Cross. 



(12) Horset : — Horseheath, co. Cambridge. 



(13) Walcomstow : — Walthamstow, co Essex. 



With regard to the above notes, " Clavaunce " is of course 

 Clevancy, in Hilmarton, co. Wilts; while as to Horset," such was 

 anciently the usual spllieng of Orsett,co. Essex, while " Horseheath" 

 was apparently more usually written " Horsethe." 



The " testament," dated 27th April, 1512, and the testament, or 

 codicil, dated 26th April, 1515, were enrolled, consecutively (Roll 

 237 [51]), on the same day as the above will, and are calendared 

 by Dr. Sharpe (pp. 623-4) Two years later, viz., on Monday next 

 before the feast of St. Botolph the Abbot (15th Jane), 1517, yet 

 another will of William Calley, draper, was enrolled, intermediate 

 in date between the documents already given, and which, it would 

 seem, was never proved in the Prerogative Court. Dr. Sharpe's 

 account of it (p. 625) is as follows : — 



Calley (William), draper.— To the Master and Wardens of the Guild or 

 Fraternity of the Blessed Mary of the Drapers of London and brethren and 

 sisters of the same he leaves divers tenements in the parishes of All Hallows 

 de Honylane, S. Mary Wolchirche, and S. Margaret de Briggestrete, comprising 

 a tenement called " le Gote on the hope " situate in the first-mentioned parish, 

 charged, among other things, with the maintenance of a chantry in the church 

 of S. Mary Wolchirche for the souls of Bichard Shore, late Alderman [of 

 Farringdon Ward Without] and draper, Beatrice, wife of the same, and others, 

 and also with the observance of an obit, &c, in manner as directed . . . 

 [the rest of the will is wanting] . Dated 15 April, A.D. 1513.

Even then the testamentary directions of William Calley were 

 not exhausted. Three years after his death, on Monday next before 

 the feast of St. Simon and St. Jude (25th October), 1518, the 

 following document was enrolled, which we have again taken from 

 Dr. Sharpe's abstract (p. 627) : — 



Calley (William), draper. —To Elizabeth, late wife of John Peke, esquire, 

 he leaves a certain messuage and garden, of which he was solely seised in 

 trust, called " Longestone," situate in the parish of St. Botolph without 

 Aldersgate, for life ; remainder to the Master, Wardens, " Brethern " and 

 " Sistern " of the Guild or Fraternity of our Blessed Lady of Drapers of
