The monumental inscriptions in Dedham church nearly 70 years ago, some of which I failed to discover, and an interesting account of John Rogers, may be found in the appendix to Parson's Monuments of Kent; in which, with a small collection of detached epitaphs, he gives three churches not in Kent: viz., Hadleigh, where rest the remains of Mr. Parson's ancestors; Dedham, his birth place; and Lavenham, the scene of his education; and in a memoir of Mrs. Elizabeth Long, of Clapham park, whose maiden name was Rogers, may be found a fuller account of the Rev. John Rogers, of Dedham, with records of other members of the Rogers family, most of whom were connected with East Anglia.

F. G. WEST,

CHURCHWARDENS' ACCOUNTS.

Many thanks to J. G. N. for the interest he has taken in unravelling some of the crooked and obscure words and entries, given in the extracts from the old churchwardens book of Bungay Saint Mary, and for calling my attention to others.

Since the January number of the East Anglian came to hand, I have compared the published extracts referred to, with the original, and find that Rob'it, twice so printed at page 375, should have been Rob'rt, the error most likely arising from my imperfectly written manuscript.

P. 375. Paten nayle. The third letter in the first word, though looking like t, is probably intended for 7: if so, it becomes palen (i.e. paling nail), and as it is immediately followed by tenter hooks, I think it should be so read, these hooks to the present day being used on pales, as preventatives against depredators.

P. 376. A fyrl syrplesse. May not this be read frill surplice.

P. 423. Mendyng the feayers on the porche. I cannot discover ffyschepond's occupation.

P. 424. "Itm. for viij ffoote in a noy' plank, and ffor x ffoote of hokyn bord ffor the mendyng off the berys." The marks of contraction over “in” and "noy" were omitted in the printing. I would venture a suggestion as to the probability of "hokyn bord" being simply oaken board.

In 1540, the following entry occurs, shewing that these boards were sold by the long hundred scale, of six score feet.

"Itm. payd to nycholas myldwell for vxx [five score] foote of hokyn bord at ijs. iiijd. the hundryd ijs. ixd."

Chynglyn, for church windows-shingles are the narrow pieces of wood placed at intervals across the bell chamber windows, to allow a free escape of sound; this word should be read shingling.

Itm. for iiijoz ymnalls.-Whatever the last word is, it certainly commences with the letter y. The letters over the numerals, tho' looking like oz, are most probably intended for or. A friend has suggested its probable reading to be "four other ymnalls" (i.e. four other hymnalls).

In 1540, there are several entries relating to the leading of the church beside the extracts given by me at page 425; viz.

"Itm, payd to larwood for a lod of sond for ye plumer ijd.”

"Itm, payd to ye goodman wrote for ledd vli. (£5).”

"Itm, for a Days bord of ye plumm' when he mad ye shod iijd."

[ocr errors]

'Itm, payd for ffettchyn of ye schaffts and the panne fro' the castell iijd." "Itm, payd to Thurketyll for carying home the schaffts & the mold to metyngh'm castell iijd."

"Itm, payd to Robert Thurketyll for carying the Asches to the waschyn & home ageyne to churche vd."

It seems by these entries that the ashes washed, were lead ashes, and the temporary shod, the load of sond for the plummer, and the panne, or mold (mould) probably for casting the led into, borrowed from Mettingham Castle, mentioned above, affords pretty conclusive evidence that the lead was cast or shot on the spot.-GRAY. B. BAKER, Bungay.
