The present volume, which contains the very important Register of St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, from its commencement in 1584 to the year 181 2, is the first of the Registers of the old parish churches of Shrewsbury that has been printed by the Shropshire Parish Register Society, and it forms the twelfth volume of the Registers of the Diocese of Lichfield.

It has been only possible to print it through the generous aid of the late Mrs. Seymour, the sister of the late Mr. Stanley Leighton, M.P.; founder of the Society. It will be tollowed in due course by the Registers of St. Chad's ; and, it is hoped, by those of the other old Town parishes also.

In this volume, as has beeu the plan adopted by the Council throughout, the Registers are not printed verbatim et literatim, but in abstract form, all mere verbiage being omitted, though every fact is recorded, and all occurrences, remarkable events, terriers, &c., given in the Registers are printed in full. The following abbreviations have been adopted : —

b. — bachelor gent. — gentleman,

bap. — baptized. h. of ind. — House of Industry.

bur. — buried. inf. — infirmary.

C. — Castle. labr. — labourer,

chr. — christened. lie. — license,

ch. w. — churchwardens. mar. — married.

Ch. yd. — Church-yard. p. — parish,

elk. — clerk. s. — son.

CO. — county. sp. — spinster.

d. — daughter. St. M. — St. Mary,

dioc. — diocese. w. — wife,

esq. — esquire. wid. — widow (or widower.)

wit. — witnesses.

Thanks are due to the Rev. Prebendary Poyntz, the late

Vicar of St. Mary's, and to the Rev. W. G. Pennyman the

present Vicar, for leave to print the Register, and for facilities

afforded in transcription and collation. Also to Mr. G. William

S. Sparrow for transcribing and collating the Register and seeing

it through the press, and for his most interesting historical

introduction; and to Miss Wight for the Index.

The Commissioners of King Henry VIII. stated that '* the Collegiate or parish Church of St, Mary was founded by King Edgar for the maintenance of a dean, seven prebendaries, and a parish priest," Though Edgar may have raised St. Mary's Church to the rank of a royal free chapel, it is probable that the church was founded at a mwch earlier date, St, Mary's stands upon the summit of the more Northern of the two hills which were enclosed within the walls of Shrewsbury, thus occupying the very centre of the site of the British Pengwern, The pillars of thje existing nave arcade stand upon the foundations of an earlier pre-Norman church, and these foundations are themselves built of stones, which give proof of having been used in a still earlier building.

Whatever may have been the date of its foundation, it is clear that St. Mary's was the most important) church in Shrewsbury in very early days. William of Malmesbury relates that the townspeople remonstrated with St. Wulfstan because he prayed in the oratory of St. Peter instead of the church of St, Mary. In 1332, St. Mary's church was chosen for the court of the papal legates for the adjustment of differences between the King of England and the Welsh princes.

From the time of King Edgar to that of Edward VI., St. Mary's was a Collegiate church governed by a dean and canons, while the vicar of the parish had the cure of souls. The Official was the Dean's deputy in the discharge of his Peculiar Jurisdiction as Ordinary of the Church ; he exercised authority over the chapelries of Albrighton, Astley, Berwick and the Clive, which are in consequence styled " Chapels Royal " in some of the old documents. A court book of the Royal Peculiar is still in existence.

The exemption of the Royal Free Churches from ecclesiastical authority gave rise to many disputes. In 1245, Innocent IV. authorised the Bishop of Lichfield to act as Ordinary in St, Mary's. Henry III. yielded to the Pope's demands, but Edward I., within ten weeks of his accession, forbade the Bishop to interfere in his royal free chapel of St. Mary. In 1253, a plea of Quo Warranto was tried at Westminster, because the Abbot of Haughmond had *' exercised a jurisdiction in the chapel of Fytteshoe," in defiance of the claims of the College of St. Mary. As a result, the chapel was surrendered to St. Mary's, but soon afterwards the question was referred to ' ' wager of battle,'* and when a duel had been " armed and foughten," and the abbot's represen- tative had proved victorious, the Dean and Chapter renounced their right. Edward II. declared St. Mary's his royal free chapel, and forbade Master Rigauld de Assino, Canon of Orleans, to exercise any imposts therein. The Bishop having no power of supervision, Edward III. appointed commissioners to visit St. Mary's, and a few other royal chapels in which several abuses were said to exist. By a writ of 1461, Edward IV. ordered the Bishop of Lichfield to desist from his attempts to exercise authority over St. Mary's. In 1662, immediately after the passing of the Act of Uniformity, " John Lord Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, Francis Lord Newport, Baron of High Ercall, Sir Walter Littleton, Knt., and Timothy Turner, Esq., were, by the Great Seal of England made commissioners for the Visitation of St. Mary's,

Salop, being a royal Peculiar Jurisdiction, and put out the curate, Mr. Francis Tallents, for not subscribing according to the Act of Parliament." All Royal Peculiars have been transferred to Episcopal Jurisdiction by an Act of Parliament of modern times.

The present church dates from about the middle of the 12th century, when nave, chancel, transepts, and low central tower were erected. A few years lat«r, another tower was built at the west end. Between 1 190 and 12 10, great changes took place. One bay was added to the chancel, which was then vaulted ; chapels were built leading out of the transepts and connected with the chancel ; the arches of the central tower were re-built ; aisles were added to the nave, and a south porch built. Several doorways and windows also date from this period. In the 14th century, the upper room of the porch was built ; the chapel on the north side of the chancel was altered ; the chapel on the south side was pulled down and re- built on a much larger scale. Late in the 15 th century, the central tower and the vaulting of the chancel were removed ; the clerestory was added along the whole length of the building ; the fine panelled roof was put over the nave ; the upper part of the tower and the spire were built. At the same time, or a little later, windows were inserted in the south aisle ; the upper room of the porch was rebuilt, with a staircase to approach it. The north aisle was made uniform with the south in 1651 : the work is good for the Commonwealth period, though inferior to that of the middle ages. The church was restored by Mr. Pountney Smith in 1864 — 70.

The church has several times been damaged by gales. After the great storm of 28th October, 1579, the Trinity Chapel was restored, partly at the cost of St. John's College, Cambridge, and partly by the School, so that the scholars might use it as a chapel. Another restoration of the church was necessitated by the fall of a great part of the spire on 12th February, 1894.

St. Mary's is famous for its glass, which dates from the early years of the 14th century, coming from many lands. Most of the glass was placed in the church between 1840 and 1850, under the direction of the Rev. W. G. Rowland, then vicar. Among the most remarkable windows is one of three lancets, on the north side of the chancel. The glass is arranged in panels, illustrating the life of St. Bernard. It is said to be the work of Albert Durer. It was originally in the Abbey of Altenberg, but was removed, for safety, when Napoleon I. invaded Germany. On the dissolution of the Abbey, the glass was taken to London to be sold, but it was not disposed of till more than thirty years later, when Mr. Rowland bought it in 1845, for £425. The east window is supposed to have come from one of the Friary Chapels in the town ; after- wards a part of it was in the east window of old St. Chad's, but part was in private hands. In 1791, when it was decided to build a new church of St. Chad, this glass was given to St. Mary's, the missing panels were recovered, and, with the addition of some new work, the east window of St. Mary's was filled. It is a Jesse window, and at the foot is this inscription, in Norman French : ' ' Pray for Sir John de Charlton who caused this glass to be made, and for the Lady Ha wis his companion." No doubt the glass was executed during the lifetime of Sir John ; he died in 1 353. Like that of the Lady Chapel in Lichfield Cathedral, most of the glass came from the Belgian Abbey of Herchenr ode.

In 1584, the stone altar was removed, " having been sometimes used for idolatry." It was discovered in 1870, broken in pieces, and these now lie buried beneath the present altar, which was then made in exactly the same size and shape.

There is a peal of ten bells, eight of which were cast in 1775 ; these w«»re made out of the six old bells, with new metal added. From the time of its institution until quite recently, the curfew was rung on the great bell of St. Mary's. At the burial of Joan Lidgeley, in 1623, we are told in the Register

St. Mary's, Shrewsbury. ▼.

that " Ringing for her the great bell of St. Maries was broke." In 1810, the two treble bells were added. These were re-cast in the followiug year, with no inscription except the name of their founder and the date. The rest are inscribed as follows : —

'* We were all fixed here by voluntary subscription, in the year 1775."

'* Happiness to all worthy contributors."

'* Success to the Worshipful Company of Drapers."

*' Unanimity and welfare to all the inhabitants of Salop."

" Peace and Felicity to this Church and Nation."

" Prosperity to St. Mary's Parish."

" E. Blakeway, M.A., Minister, J. Watkins, J. Warren, E. Elsmere, H.

Kent, Churchwardens. ' ' ** May all whom I summon to their grave, enjoy everlasting bliss."

To each inscription is added, " Pack & Chapman, London, Fecit 1775." An old bell from Battlefield, cast by Abraham Rudhall, was hung in a turret at the south-west angle of the chancel in 1871. The bells have been re-hung during the present year. The two treble bells have again been re-cast, and now bear the following inscriptions : —

** W. G. Penuyman, Vicar. Edw. Burd, Wm. Alltree, A. E. Lloyd Oswell, H. Steward, Churchwardens."

" Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be."

The church possesses some valuable and interesting old plate : —

A pre-Ref ormation chalice ; circ. 1 540.

A paten ; circ. 1 540.

A chalice ; 1636.

A paten cover to chalice ; 1636.

A flagon ; 165 1.

Two candlesticks ; 1686.

A credence paten ; 1703.

Two alms-dishes ; 1704.

A chalice ; 1766.

A paten cover to chalice ; 1766.

The chalice of 1636 has this inscription : " The guift of Roger Clarke, citizen and grocer of London, 1636" ; the paten also was presented by Roger Clarke, though it is not inscribed. This chalice and paten are said to have been those used when Charles I. made his protestation in St. Mary's (see below).

The flagon, of 1651, has the arms of the Corbet family, with the following dedication : ' ' Deo et Sacris Ecclesiae Parochialis Beatae Mariae Salopiae D.D.D., Elizabetha Relicta D. Vincentii Corbett de Moreton-Corbett, Baronett, Anno Salutis, 1695."

The candlesticks bear the monogram " A.Y." ; a table of benefactions states that they were the gift of Dame Abigail Yeomans, relict of Sir Robert Yeomans, Bart., of Redland, in the County of Gloucester.

The credence paten was " The gift of Mr. William Mintern, 1703."

The chalice and paten of 1766 have the arms of Morhall engraved upon them, the chalice having this inscription : ' ' The gift of Richard Morhall, of Onslow, Esq., 1766, to the parish church of St. Mary in Salop."

There is also an alms-dish of Old Shefiield plate, with silver edge, presented by Archdeacon Owen in 1826.

▼i The Register ey

The Register consists of the following volumes : —

Vol. I. 1584 to 1 69 1. 220 pages, 13 inches by 6i inches. The earlier part of

the book is a copy, made in 1640. Vol. II. 1691 to 1732. 150 pages, 14 inches by 6 inches. Thos. Dawes signs

each page to November, 17 14, and John Lloyd the remainder of the book. Vol. III. 1733 to 1775. 1 34 pages, 14 inches by 6^ inches. John Lloyd, Minister,

'signs till 19th September, 1742 ; then " John Lloyd," (another hand),

till 3rd February, 1742/3, after which Ben. Wingfield, Minister, signs

till 1763, and E. Blakeway till the end of the volume. John Rowland,

Curate, signs one page, at the end of 1762. Vol. IV. 1776 to 1806. 160 pages, 14 inches by 7^ inches. E. Blakeway signs

till 1 79 1, and John Brickdale Blakeway the remainder. Vol. V. i8o7toi8i2. A large book, 13 inches by 8 inches, of which only 46

pages are used. vSigned by J. B. Blakeway, Minister. Vol. VI. 1754 to 1 77 1. Marriages, 44 pages, 16 inches by 10 inches. Vol. VII. 1771 to 1783. Marriages, 128 pages, 9 inches by 14 inches. At

the other end is a banns book, of which very few pages have been used. Vol. VIII. 1783 to 1804. Marriages, 200 pages, 15 inches by 9 inches. Vol. IX. 1804 to 18 1 2. Marriages, 220 pages, 15 inches by 9 inches.

Volumes I. to V. are of parchment, volumes VI. to IX. of paper. They are bound in parchment covers, with the exception of volume IX., which has a cloth and leather binding. Volumes II. to V. have metal fastenments. The marriage registers contain the usual printed forms. The whole Register is in good preservation and has been well kept, except that part which belongs to the period of the Civil War.

A notable feature of the Marriage Register, 1754 to 18 12, is the obvious disregard of uniformity in the spelling of surnames. It is not uncommon to find three members of the same family spelling their surname in three diflferent ways. Again, as often as not, the bride and bridegroom spell their names differently from the clergyman or parish clerk who filled up the rest of the entry. A very large proportion of the persons married, and of the witnesses, were illiterate, and there was little if any change in this respect between the j^ears 1754 and 18 12. Where the witnesses attempt to sign their own names, it is very often impossible to decipher them with any degree of certainty. No importance whatever must be attached to the spelling of witnesses' names. By comparing one entry with another, and in other ways, the transcriber has done his best to give correct renderings, but he has been obliged to add a note of interrogation in many cases.

A list of Registers made in 18 13 shows that the paper books of Christenings and Burials from 1755 were then in existence, in addition to the copies on parchment.

The Domesday Survey states that in Edward the Confessor's time 8t. Mary's Church held lands in Bur tunc, Heslie, and Mitton, with half a hide in the Hundred of Overs, and a virgate in the Manor of Meole. This is incorrect, for the land in the Hundred of Overs was held by St. Mary's in Bromfield, and not by St. Mary's in Shrewsbury. The church continued to hold the same possessions under the Conqueror, but was soon afterwards deprived of them. The Domesday Manor of Burtune (Broughton), was divided between the Churches of St. Mary and St. Chad, the former holding Clive and Sansaw, the latter Broughton and Yorton. Heslie i« the modern Astley. Mitton is in the parish of Fitz.

The landed property of St. Mary's must not be confused A\'ith lands within the parochial jurisdiction of the church. Within the walls the parish of St. Mary consists of the North-Eastern quarter of the town, whilst immediately outside it embraces the suburb of Coton Hill. It extends far into the country,

St. Mary's, Shrewsbury. vii.

including Berwick, Almond Park, Newton and Rose Hill. The chapelries of Clive and Astley are still within St. Mary's parish, but that of Albrighton was made a separate parish in i860. The parish of Leaton, with Bomere Heath, was formed at the same date, and includes land formerly within St. Mary's parish. A few of the place and street names mentioned in the Register require some comment here. Houghley, now Hafifley, is in Battlefield parish, and close by, but a little nearer Shrewsbury, is Hencote pool, which is probably the lake near Harlescott referred to in the Register. Most of the streets mentioned are still to be found under the same names. Both Shoemakers' Row and the High Pavement were names of the street now known as Pride Hill, at the top of which stood the Cross. Beyond the Cross was that part of Castle Street which in the Register is called Raven Street, and still further on, the School House Lane ran along the front of the Grammar School, and into the street again nearer the gate. Just outside the Castle Gate was a part of the Ellesmere road known as Back Street. The street leading from the Cross towards Dogpole was called Ox Lane. The " Shuts " were narrow alleys, connecting the principal streets with each other.

Many public buildings are mentioned in the Register. The Castle^ built in Norman times, contained the royal free chapel of St. Michael. Restored under the Stuarts, it was of considerable importance during the Civil War. There are frequent references in the Register to soldiers of the garrison. The Castle was dismantled in the reign of James II., and it is now a private house.

The Council House was the meeting place of the Council of the Marches, during the frequent visits of the President and his Court to Shrewsbury. The President had his oflBcial residence at Ludlow. The Council was created by Edward IV., and was dissolved in 1689. We find the burial of the " Porter to the Councell's palace gate " in 1614.

The Grammar School was closely connected with St. Mary's Church, and many of the masters are mentioned here. In 1551, Edward VI. granted the revenues of the College of St. Mary's to found the Free Schools. Queen Elizabeth ordered ' * Thomas Ashton, clerk, then chief School-master,' ' to draw up rules for the nomination of the Curate of St. Mary's. In 1578, Ashton's Ordinances vested the appointment in the Bailifl^s and chief School-master ; he must be a burgess's son, brought up in the school, and a graduate ; the school was to pay twenty pounds per annum for his stipend.

St. Mary's Almshouses, at the west end of the churchyard, were founded about 1460, by Degory Water, draper, who was buried in the Trinity Chapel, 28th July, 1477. He lived in the almshouses himself, and it was his custom to go with the inmates " dailye to our Lady's Church, and to kneel wyth them in a long pew in the quire made for them and himself." These alms- houses received several endowments. Among the rules was one that " Each person admitted was to bring with them a winding sheet, with 4d. wrapt up in it to pay for their burial." The almshouses were re- built in 1825.

In the entry of i8th December, 1681, we read that John Bfeavon was the first that died in the Hospital at Little Berwick. These almshouses are in the park of Berwick House, having been founded by Sir Samuel Jones in 1670.

The entries of burials from The Infirmary are very numerous. Salop Infirmary was founded in 1747. The present building, occupying the same site, was erected in 1830.

" The Raven " is mentioned as early as 1619 ; *' The S tunns " in 1643, and •' The White Heart " in 1669.

The ^' Jarsey-Schoole^' (1650), was established during the reign of James I., or perhaps at an even earlier date. It was a charitable scheme for

viiL Thk Bboisteb of

the employment of the poor children of Shrewsbury. In the Corporation accounts for 1613 is this item : " Paid to John Hill, Jersey worker, for his house-rent this year, £3 — 6s. — 8d." In 1627, it was ordered " that the Jersey house be made a work-house. " " Jersey cloth ' ' was manufactured there, and attached to the house was the " Jarsey- School.." The following entry occurs in the Abbey Church accounts for 1636 : *« Paid Richard Edgerton for his paynes about the children for the Jarsie School, 6d." The Jersey House, which was in School Court, was afterwards used as a County prison.

There are many references to prisoners, who in early times were confined in the upper castle-gate and in the towers on the bridges. The Prison and the ' ' gaole ' ' are first mentioned in 1 586. Occasionally the words ' ' executed and buried ' ' occur, but from the large number of burials of prisoners it seems probable that many had been put to death even though the fact is seldom stated. In February, 161 7, we read of " Fourteene prisoners convicted at the Assizes and buried here." In 1628, occurs the burial of " A prisoner prest to deathe," the penalty imposed on those who refused to plead and thus saved their property from forfeiture. As already stated, the Jersey House was used as a County Prison ; a new gaol was built close by in 1705, and this was superseded by the present Prison in 1793. The House of Correction, or Bridewell, adjoined the former prison. The prison is sometimes referred to as the "Counter." Occasionally we read of prisoners living in other houses, e.g., " One Mr. Powell from Mr. Meriden's, he being there for debt." (1649).

In 1759, a house for the reception of orphans from the Foundling Hospital in London was opened in Dog-lane. When old enough, the children were moved into the House of Industry. The latter was closed in 1774, and it was afterwards used for the confinement of prisoners, chiefly Dutch, taken in the American War. In 1784, the town bought the building for a general House of Industry, or Workhouse. It now forms part of Shrewsbury School.

The Register frequently mentions the linen-yard factory, in Ditherington. This was a very up-to-date building, established in 1796. It contained two steam engines, and in its construction it forms an early instance of the use of iron in place of timber. Archdeacon Owen states that its founders ' ' are entitled to just praise for their humane and judicious attentions to the health and morals of the numerous young persons whom they employ." The building is now known as the " Shropshire Mai tings."

A list of trades and occupations will be found in the Index. The " Packel- maker " (1608), was probably a maker of pack-saddles. A ' ' Clicker " ( 1 799), is one who stands at the door of a shop to invite customers. A " Heckler " (181 1), or hackler, is one who separates the coarse part of flax or hemp from the fine, as the " Jersey-comber " (1709/10) separates the finest part of wool. The " Shearmen " (1600) constituted an important gild in the town ; their work lay in dressing the coarse cloth, chiefly from Wales, after it came to Shrewsbury. Dressers of hemp and flax are frequently mentioned. A " Holt-maker " (1686) may have been equivalent to a halt- maker, a halt being " a strong hamper, such as is used with a pack-saddle." A ' ' Bendman ' ' (1809) probably had some connection with the hardware trade.

The word Fensor (161 1 and 1613) is somewhat puzzling. A fencer is an instructor in the use of the foils, but it has been suggested that the original reading was Tensor, and that the transcriber of 1640 mistook the " T " for an " F. " Tensors were ' ' persons who, not being burgesses, traded in the town, for which liberty they paid such fines as the Court Leet imposed upon them." A note of 1664 in the Corporation Records shows that money thus obtained was spent in entertaining the judges at assizes. The burial of '*a prisoner for selling of ale," presumably without a licence, is recorded in the Register in 161 5.

St. Maby's, Shrewsbury. ix.

The office of public or town preacher was created towards the close of the 1 6th century. Some of the principal people of the neighbourhood subscribed for a learned divine to live in the town and to preach on all public occasions, and on every Sunday afternoon, in St. Mary's. A little later, the Corporation endowed the preachership, and from time to time other gifts were made for the same purpose. With the money thus obtained, an estate at Coton Hill was bought in 1621, and in 1626 some property at Edgerley was purchased. The Corporation confiscated the Coton estate in the Rev. Benjamin Wingfield's time, because he also held the first portion of the living of Pontesbury.

Perhap.s the most interesting part of the Register is that which includes the Civil War period. King Charles arrived at Shrewsbury on 20th September, 1642, and stayed two days at the Council House. After a brief visit to Chester, the King returned to Shrewsbury on September 27th, where he remained till 12th October. At this time he was making special efforts to secure the support of the Roman Catholics, and it seems probable that he found it necessary to re-assure his Protestant subjects. On the last Sunday of his visit ' ' The King took a protestation, and the Sacrament upon it, in St. Mary's Church, in our town, to defend the true Protestant religion, established by Queen Elizabeth and his Royal father." Thus wrote Basil Waring, one of the Common Councillors, in a letter dated at Shrewsbury on i8th October, 1642, and the " protestation " was also reported in " Special Passages," a Parliamentary journal of the time. It is strange that Clarendon does not mention it, though he was with the King during his stay at Shrewsbury. The gilt paten and chalice then used are still preserved in St. Mary's Church. Charles - appointed Sir Francis Ottley governor of the town. Prince Rupert came to Shrewsbury on 19th February, 1644, taking up his quarters at a house at the west end of St. Mary's. In July, Sir Fulke Hunkes became governor ; he was succeeded by Colonel Broughton, who, in October, gave place to Sir Michael Earnley. The Register records the baptism of the "daughter of the Princ his secretary," on 9th January, 1644/5. "The Princ ' ' was Prince Maurice, who had ' ' succeeded his brother Rupert in the care of Wales and the Marches, though without his title of President." Six weeks later, the Committee at Shrewsbury wTote to the speaker : ' ' We also tooke ... all Prince Maurice, his magazine, divers carriages, bagge and baggage of the Prince." The town had fallen on the night of February 21st, being surprised by the Parliament's forces from Wem, under Col. Mytton. Under the Register entries of September ist and November 26th, 1643, it is stated that many names ' ' weare tome when the towne was taken. ' ' This of course refers to the original paper book, of which the existing version on parchment is a copy. It has been said that the Puritan Dr. Betton, who left the town in 1642, tore out the Register of 1643 and 1644 when he was reinstalled as vicar after the capture of Shrewsbury by the Parliament. This is a mistake ; whoever kept the Register during Dr. Betton 's absence omitted to mention the years, and consequently anyone looking carelessly through the Register might suppose that it contained no burials of 1643, and no burials or baptisms of 1644. It is true that the Register of this period is very incomplete, but it certainly records some of the burials and baptisms of both the years in question. A curious circumstance helps to prove this : among the burials is the entry " Aug. 30, Lady Lee, of Acton Burnell." Now Lady Lee was b^^ried at Acton Burnell on August 31st, 1643, and no doubt the entry in St. Mary's Register refers to her death, or perhaps to a service held in St. Mary's Church before the removal of her body to Acton Burnell. On July 30th, 1645, we read of the rejoicings of a great victory of the Parliament in the West. This victory was the capture of Bridgewater by Fairfax on July 23rd, unless the triumph of the same general at Langport on July loth is meant. Humphrey Mackworth, governor of Shrewsbury under the Parliament, sent troops to surprise Bridgnorth in September, 1645 ; they took the town but failed to take the castle. The Register records the burial of a " Lieftennant to Captaine Davenport ; also his corporal to Collonell Hunt who were slaine at Bridgnorth. ' ' The Royalist garrison at High Ercall was a constant menace

X. The Registkb op

to the Roundheads. The house there belonged to Francis Newport, whose father had been created Baron Newport of Ercall, in return for a payment of six thousand pounds, during the King's visit to Shrewsbury. Ercall fell in March, 1646, and we find in the Register, " March 27th, Captaine Couper, of Longner, whoe was shott at Arkoll when the siege was there " ; and, " March 30th, Thomas Maninge who was shot at Arcl." After their success at High Ercall, the Parliament soldiers marched on to Bridgnorth. They took the town, but the castle held out, surrendering after three weeks' bombard- ment. The Register notes the burial of ' ' WiUiam Steevens, shot at Bridgnorth. ' With the fall of Ludlow in May, 1646, the King lost his last remaining garrison in Shropshire.

*'A recusant in gaole" is mentioned in 1594. Roman Catholics were first described as "Popish Recusants" in the Act of 1592, which imposed severe penalties upon them.

In 1640, Dr. Betton, and, in 1678, Robert Fowler are described as Rectors of St. Mary's.

Jefferie Beddoe, butcher, buried in 1640, is called *' One of the 48." Two years previously Charles I. had granted the town a new charter, which, among other changes, substituted a mayor for the two bailiffs, and provided for the election of forty-eight common councilmen.

In 1645, the baptism is recorded of " Mary, daughter of the lord of the Foryed." Anderson, in "Shropshire: its early history and antiquities," says : ' ' The manor of the [Abbey] Foregate was granted by Elizabeth to Robert Newdigate and Arthur Fountayne, who next day conveyed it to Richard Prynce, Thomas Hatton, and Thomas Rock, gentlemen, and the heirs of the survivor. Hatton was the survivor, and the manor continued in his family till 1654, when it was conveyed to Sir Richard Prynce, Knight, son of the original joint-grautee, whose descendant, the Earl of Tankerville, is now lord of this manor. ' '

In 1654 and 1657, under the Commonwealth, we find marriages by certificate of a Justice of the Peace.

We read of children " Sprinkled at ye Conventicle " on June loth and July 6th, 1 701. These baptisms took place at High Street Presbyterian Church, Shrewsbury, and they are entered in the Register there. ' ' A daughter of George Souter, Sprinkled at ye Meeting House " on March 2i8t, 1702/3, is more fully described in the High Street Register as " Mr. George Souter's daughter Abigail."

A terrible outbreak of plague occurred in 1604. From June to March 1 19 burials are recorded, most of them before November. In the corresponding period of the previous year there were 1 5 burials, and in the same months of 1605, 21 burials. The plague had been very severe in other parts of England in 1603. The Register tells us that " the infection was suspected " in 163 1, but the next outbreak of plague appears to have occurred in 1650, when so many deaths took place from this cause between July and October that the Parliament feared for the safety of their garrison. Deaths from " Chin-Cough " are mentioned in 1795. This is the complaint now called " Whooping-Cough." In 181 1, a death from " Cholera Morbus " is recorded.

There are several references to Dutch soldiers between 1690 and 1694, brought here, no doubt, for service in Ireland under William III. The Royal Volunteers are mentioned in 1759, the Shropshire Regiment of Militia in 1802, the Army of Reserve in 1803, and the Volunteer Shrewsbury Infantry in 1806.

St. Maby's, Shrewsbury. xi.

The church contains many interesting monuments. In the Trinity Chapel is an altar- tomb, upon which rests the effigy of a Crusader, probably Sir John de lieybourne, of Berwick, who died in 1348. A slab of alabaster was erected in 1463 to Nicholas Stafford and Katherine his wife, with their kneeling figures engraved upon it. Among many others, there are memorials of members of the following families : — Lyster of Rowton, Morhall of Onslow, Sandford of the Isle, Gardner of Sansaw, Lloyd, Burney, Dawes, Price, Phillips, Hotchkiss, Barker, Evans, Hanmer, Blayney, Betton, and Wingfield. Most of the flat gravestones on the floor were destroyed when the church was re-paved in 1797. Among monuments of more recent date is a statue of Dr. Samuel Butler, headmaster of Shrewsbury 1798 to 1836, and afterwards Bishop of Lichfield till his death in 1839. His grave is on the west side of the churchyard, just within the rails. Near the west door is a monument, with recumbent effigy, to the memory of Brigadier- General Charles Robert Cureton, who was killed in action at Ramnagar, in the 2nd Sikh War, in 1848.

Admiral Benbow was born within St. Mary's parish in 1653, though his baptism is not recorded in the Register. His sister, Elinor, was baptized here 7th July, 1646. Sir Timothy Turner, chief justice of South Wales and Recorder of Shrewsbury, who became King's Sergeant (Attorney-General) in 1670, was buried at St. Mary's in 1677. Charles, son of James and Anne Macburney, baptized 5tli May, 1726, was afterwards known as Charles Burney. He studied music under his half-brother James, organist of St. Mary's, and afterwards under Dr. Arne. He took the degree of Mus. Doc. at Oxford, in 1769. His best known work is the History of Music. Burney was the father of Madame D'Arblay (Fanny Burney), who \vrote " Evelina " and other novels. Sneyd Davies, a poet, who became Archdeacon of Derby and Pre- bendary of Lichfield, was baptized at St. Mary's, 31st October, 1709, and George Costard, a well-known astronomical waiter, was baptized here in the following January.

Ashton's Ordinances for presentation to the living of St. Mary's have already been mentioned. In 1801, the right was vested in the body corporate at large, expressly excluding the head-master from any share in selection. In 1832, the advowson passed to trustees nominated by the then governing body of the School, but in accordance with the Public School Act of 1868, the new governing body disposed of the right of presentation, and since that date the living has been in the gift of the Bishop of Lichfield.

The reader who desires further information about St. Mary's Church should consult " Notes on St. Mary's Church," by Archdeacon Lloyd (which gives a very full account of the stained glass), and " A short History of St. Mary's Church," by Miss F. A. Macleod. Owen & Blakeway's " History of Shrewsbury," is still the standard authority for the history of the town, while the Rev. T. Auden's "Shrewsbury," in the Ancient Cities series,

amply fulfils the author's endeavour " to write a readable book

acceptable to the average reader, who, knowing something, wishes to know more about an interesting place. ' ' All these works have been freely used in the compilation of this Preface. A full history of the architecture of St. Mary's Church is about to appear in the Rev. D. H. S. Cranage's " Churches of Shropshire ' ' ; Mr. Cranage most kindly supplied the brief architectural notes here given.

The account of the Church Plate is based upon an article by T. Stanley Ball, which was published in the ' ' Shrewsbury Chronicle ' ' in September, 1905.

This Register forms part of the late Mrs. Seymour's generous gift to the Society in memory of its founder, the late Mr. Stanley Leighton, M.P. It is printed by permission of the Vicar, the Rev. W. G. Pennyman.
