ratified by a decree in chancery, was laid out in lands of inheritance, 
the clear profits whereof and interest of money to be bestowed in 
wearing clothes, shoes, and stockings for men, women, and children, 
to be given on the first of November in some public place. 
The arms appear imp. Trelawny, on a nearly obliterated ledger 
stone, in the north aisle of the church of St. Andrew, and the 
names of various members of the family appear in the registers 
of St. Andrew and Charles parishes, and also on two ledger stones 
in the south aisle of Tamerton Foliott Church, impaling Mohun 
(a cross eng.), one for the Hon. Isabella Madock, wife of Samuel 
Madock, of Plymouth, merchant, and daughter of the Eight Hon. 
Warwick, Lord Mohun, of Boconnoc, in Cornwall. She died

1713, aged 70 years. She died 25th August, 1712, aged 15 years.

appear to have been any system, chronological or otherwise, 
followed in their arrangement. It is much to be regretted that we 
do not know more of its history than the fact of its being brought 
from the old workhouse, and set up in its present position by Mr. 
Peter Franklin Bellamy. 
With regard to armorial seals, as far as the older Corporation letters 
go, it would be quite useless to improve on what Mr. Worth has 
said in connection with records on which he is such an authority ; 
and therefore on that authority we may safely state that there are 
only two armorial seals among those documents ; namely, erm. on 
a bend three fleurs-de lis, Bury, used by Robert Berry in 1696 ; and 
the seal of Sir Francis Drake \ namely, quarterly first and fourth
