LANGLEY, NORFOLK.-NO. 6 (VOL. II, P. 292.) Allow me to say a few more words about Langley church. Mr. Daveney states that a collection of stained glass, bequeathed to Lady Beauchamp by Mr. Hamp, was by her distributed amongst the churches within the family patronage. If the coats of arms in the windows at Langley were part of his bequest, it would be interesting to know whence they originally came. Many of them are the arms of families connected with Langley and the neighbourhood, as those of Berney, Hobart, and Gawdy. The churches in the Beauchamp patronage are Langley, Thurton, Buckingham, Hassingham, Chedgrave, Ashby, and Carleton. There is no stained glass in the windows at the two latter, and I do not think there is any at Chedgrave or Hassingham. It is so long since I visited Buckenham, that I cannot speak positively with regard to that church. At Thurton there are only two coats of arms in stained glass, viz :-The Royal Arms, and in another window "Or, a text A between three birds Sable." In Langley church there are some monuments to the Berneys and Hobarts. On the chancel floor : 1. Here is interred ye body of Mary Berney, late wife of Robert Berney, Gent., and one of ye Daughters of James Hobart, of Haleshall, Esq. She having attayned almost to ye age of threescore and eighteene yeares, Exchanged this life for a better vpon ye sixt day of July, 1652. 2. Here lyeth interred the body of Edward Hobart, Esq., who deceassed the 16 day of May, Ao D'ni, 1638. On the north wall of the chancel, near the altar :- Memoriæ Sacræ Ornatissimi vereq' Pii Viri Edvardi Hobart, Armigeri, Johannes Hobart nepos svvs infinitis modis divinetissimus animi indicia humillime dedicat..

I hope to send notices of their monuments at some future day. There is another monument in Langley church, which is, I think, of sufficient interest to deserve preservation in the East Anglian. On the north wall of the chancel : Elizabetha Colombine Johannis et Maria Brewer filia pientissima Pauli Colombine, A.M. Juventa adhuc florente Paulo post vitam Primogenitæ datam Proh dolor suam amisit. Ano Chr 17660 Et. 250 Near to the spot which gave Eliza birth, See her in bloom of youth to dust return! See her enshrined within this hallow'd earth, And Love, and Friendship weeping o'er her urn! With evr'y mild attractive grace endow'd, The Babe just wak'd to light, she fondly press'd- To Heav'n resign'd, she blessed her child, and died. It still appears to me remarkable that a pre-Reformation priest should have been buried under an altar stone. I know that after the Reformation. inscribed altar stones are not uncommon. There is one at Bolton Abbey, in Yorkshire. I do not think that the church of Rome would have so desecrated them; indeed, it was not till the time of Edward VI, that they were ordered to be removed from their ancient use. Perhaps your correspondent Extraneus could throw some light upon this subject. G. W. M. 4. (Floor of middle aisle). Rev. Sam.
