WOOttOll SaSSett. In The Connoisseur, September, 1904, p. 11, an 



admirable full-page illustration from a photograph is given of a beautiful 

 piece of steel open work, which is thus described : — " The Protector's 

 danger is perhaps more vividly presented by a relic in the possession of 

 Mr. Charles Berners, of Woolverstone Park, Ipswich, a gentleman who 

 is descended from Mrs. Claypole, Cromwell's daughter. This is a 

 portable steel lock and hasp of fine and elaborate workmanship, which 

 Cromwell during the later years of his life carried with him and placed 

 upon his bedroom door wherever he slept. There are two keys pre- 

 served with the lock, one of which was entrusted to his body servant, 

 the other for his own use. The lock, as appears from the photograph, 

 bears the inscription, ' Richard Hewse of Wootton Bassett in Com. Wilts, 

 fecit.' It is beautiful both in design and execution, and, apart from its 

 history, is a very interesting specimen of the excellent metal- work of 

 the period."
