The J ervoises 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. 3, 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 Kichard 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 Bichard 

 Powlett are given at the close of this valuable article. E. E. D. 



Salisbury. " Notes on Two Nevill Shields at Salisbury: by the Rev. 

 E. E. Dorling. Three pages, one illustration. The Ancestor, No. 8, 

 January, 1904. 



A short account of two remarkable pieces of armorial 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, Earl 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 I ] 

 and 3rd, 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
