and presently after she walked a-foot half a mile. Yon may think 

 what a fearful sight it was. Her Majesty would have ridden on 

 that horse again, but he would not suffer her to come on his back."' 

 (Jppendioe, No. xvii.) I think the horse showed great sagacity. 



From these letters, therefore, it seems, that Wulfhall ceased to- 

 be the residence of the Seymours about the year 1582, and that the 

 family began about that year to make Tottenham Lodge their 

 residence, such as Tottenham Lodge then was. 1 



Edward Earl of Hertford lived to the great age of 83, and is 

 buried under a magnificent monument in Salisbury Cathedral. 

 Though he was married three times, the remains only of his first 

 wife, Lady Katharine Grey, lie there also, having been removed from 

 the original grave in Middlesex. The Earl died in 1621. His son,, 

 Lord Beauchamp, had died before him, so that the next owner of 

 Wulfhall and Tottenham Lodge was the EarPs grandson,. 



William Seymour Marquis of Hertfobd. 

 From his history I can only select one event, but it is the one 



1 In 1640, Wulfhall Demaines were let by Wm. Marquis of Hertford, to 

 Tenants ; John Bransdon held part at £204 16s. Od. a year. Edward Savage, 

 another part, at £161 13s, 8d. The Hop Garden at £3 0s. 0d. } besides other 

 pieces. 



In August, 1654, William, Marquis of Hertford, leased, for seven years, to 

 Edward Savage, Sudden Park, in Great Bedwyn, by estimation, 240 acres, with 

 the House called the Lodge. Also a Barn at " Ulphal," called the Oat Barn,, 

 and another called the Old Barn, the house called the Wooll (or Well ? ) House,, 

 and the toft called Gate House Toft, all belonging to the site of the Manor 

 House of Wulf-hall. The old materials of Wulfhall, so far as they were of 

 any value, were carried to Tottenham. John Aubrey is the authority for this. 

 Writing about 1672, he says: "The house has been much bigger, and great 

 part pulled down within these 10 years, to build the house of Tocknam Parke." 



Of Tottenham Park, which he calls a " romancey place," he says (and he died 

 1696) : " Here is a new complete pile of good architecture." (N. H, of Wilts, 

 123.) The house he speaks of was much altered under the taste of the Earl of 

 Burlington, about 1717. Wings and a chapel were added in 1722. The late 

 Lord Ailesbury made further additions-, which have been continued since his 

 death. 



In Gough's Camden, Tottenham is said to have belonged to the Despencers, 

 temp. Edw. II., but this is quite wrong. Camden confounded it with Tockenham, 

 near Wootton Bassett.
