The Church Heraldry of North Will shire. 



But llio only point for my purpose is that tho northern invaders when they 

 followed the Romans gave their name, as tho Romans had done before them, to 

 these camps, and that their name of " Bury " had for them the same signifiance 

 as "castle " had for the Roman, and signified the secured or sheltered dwelling- 

 place of a tribe or clan, and that they were in fact the primitive towns of the 

 earliest inhabitants of otir island, and coeval with Abury. Thus Barbury, 

 Rmgsbury, Bury Town, Bury Hill, bear their silent and lasting witness to the 

 Saxon use of these ancient dwelling-places, and as their tenure of them was long, 

 and indeed until civilization superseded them with better towns, their distinctive 

 name has kept its hold in our common use, whilst the Roman name has lingered 

 more rarely among us. 



I am' well aware that I shall in this lengthy paper have given no new light 

 to many of your members. All that I can hope to have done is to have brought 

 together some scattered information and to have shaped it after my own ideas 

 on this subject.
