ADDENDA. 



Garth Family, p. 248. — The Garths were of Co. Pal. Durham, and settled 

 chiefly at Headlam and Gainford. The annexed Pedigree, showing the con- 

 nexion of one hranch of the family with Devizes, has heen kindly furnished by 

 the Rev. J. Ward, Rector of Wath, Yorkshire. 



Arms. — William Garth of Headlam was in the List of " Disclaimers" at the 

 Heralds' Visitation of Durham in 1615 ; but his grandson of the same name and 

 place, had the arms at the head of the Pedigree allowed in 1666. It is probable 

 that they had been used by the family at least two centuries before the latter 

 period, for the Garths who were settled at Morden in Surrey in the year 1500, 

 but whose exact connexion with the family at Headlam is not ascertained, have 

 always borne the same arms. Their Crest is an Indian Goat argent, attired, 

 eared, collared, and lined, or. 



Haynes, or Haines Hill, the seat of the present representative of the Garth 

 family, is in the parish of Hurst, Berks, in which is the liberty of Broad Hinton, 

 a curiously insulated part of Wiltshire. It was, according to Lysons, the seat 

 of Sir Thomas Windebank, Clerk of the Signet, and the birth place of his son, 

 Sir Francis, Secretary of State to Charles the First. At a later date it was the 

 property of the Colleton family, from whom it appears to have descended to 

 Charles Garth, Esq., who took the surname of Colleton, and was uncle to the 

 present owner. 



Coventry Family, p. 253. — The following additional notices, relating appa- 

 rently to this family, have been kindly furnished by Mr. James Waylen : — 



" John Coventry of Wilts receives [8 Hen. VI.] letters patent for the repay- 

 ment to him, and others associated with him, of a loan of £10 which they had 

 advanced to the late King, Henry V." — Parliamentary Rolls. 



"3 Hen. V. John Coventry receives value for old coin sent, by him and 

 others, to be re-minted at the Tower, to the amount of £585 18s. 4^." — Ibid. 



[Supposed to be the same person, because associated with other apparently 

 Wiltshire names, such as John Alleyn, Alleyn Forman, Thomas Burbage, &c] 



Gorett's Dole. — This bequest, together with a similar one of Sir Thomas 

 Newman and Robert Paynter, has been already noticed at p. 252-3. The fol- 

 lowing items, selected from the Churchwardens' accounts, will serve to show 

 the manner in which they were formerly complied with : — 



1499. It. pd. for Gobbett dole xvij s - iiijd- 



pd. for y e - dole of Sir Thos. Newman & Robt Painter vj s - iiij d - 



1550. pd. for bread for Gobett's dole and carrying xx s - iiij d - 



1573. pd. for xx dozen of bread xxs. 



Entries similar to these occur annually during the 15th, 16th, 17th, and part 



of the 18th centuries.
