VISIT OF ABP. THEOBALD TO NORFOLK OR SUFFOLK.

Would you insert the following extract from "Chronica de Tempore Regum Angliæ, Stephani, Hen. II, and Ricardi I, Gervasii Monachi Dorobornensis sive Cantuarensis," "Twysden's Scriptores x, vi, p. 1364," with this question. Does the writer mean that Abp. Theobald came to Framlingham, in Suffolk, or Framingham, near Norwich? His visit to either has not been noticed before, I think.-C. E. A.

Line 25. "Audiens autem archiepiscopus [Theobaldus Cantuarensis] indolent, volensque suis utcumque subvenire, relicto Sancto Audomaro ad portum de Graveninges mare cum suis intravit, et prospero cursu in terra Comitis Hugonis Bigod apud Goseford applicuit. Cui occurrens idem Comes cum magno eum suscepit honore, et quam diu in terra sua esse voluit, sedulo necessaria ministravit; statuto autem termino totam terram quæ regis [Stephani] imperio subjacebat interdixit, nec à sententia destitit, donec episcopi Robertus scilicet Londoniensis, Hylarius Cicestrensis, Willielmus Norwicensis, pluresque alii nobiles ad eum venirent in Northfole apud Framelingeham castellum Comitis, et tandem inter ipsum et regem pace composita, inde illum cum honore et lætitia Cantuariam deducerent."

* I expect this long list of crimes against the inhabitants of one village was the result of the rooting out of a gang of thieves.

QUERIES.

THE FAMILY OF ARCHER.

I take the liberty of asking whether any explanation has yet been given of the disappearance from Sudbury and Bury St. Edmund's, Suffolk, in the middle of the 17th century, of the following persons who belonged to a large family of the name:

1630. Edward Archer, Nicholas Archer, Anthony Archer.

These persons seem to have deserted Suffolk, and I think that Nicholas Archer, of Barbados, whose daughter Margaret married Mr. Cripps, in that island, in 1643, was identical with him of Sudbury; and that the Edward Archer, "recalled from Barbados and preferred to the living of Hinton, in England, in 1660" (but who seems never to have been inducted), was the Edward already named; while " Anthony I take to be the Captain, buried at Shadwell, in 1682, and who is mentioned in the Calendar of State Papers. I have gone very deeply into this question of identity, but am not yet perfectly satisfied.

J. H. LAWRENCE ARCHER.

OLD CHURCH PLATE, ECCLESIASTICAL VESTMENTS, &c.

Will any correspondent give me instances of old Chalices or other pieces of church plate existing in East Anglia, with the inscriptions upon them. I know of the Pakefield (near Lowestoft) chalice, dated 1337, and I hope many exist of the 14th and 15th centuries. Any instances of ancient altar cloths, remains of ecclesiastical vestments, funeral palls, &c., will be most acceptable.-JOHN PIGGOT, Junr.

TRIANGULAR CHURCH TOWERS.

The tower of All Saints church, Maldon, Essex, is triangular. Would any correspondent inform me if this is unique, and if other examples have formerly existed but now destroyed.-JOHN PIGGot, Junr.

Norfolk Tumbler.-In Dom. State Papers, James I, vol. 47, No. 33, Sir Edward Coke mentions that he sends to Salisbury a Norfolk Tumbler, to play in Salisbury Warren. I fancy I have heard the name of tumbler was originally given to the greyhound. Is this so?-WALTER RYE, Chelsea,

Chance Bone.-John Langley, in his translation of The Works of Polidore Vergil (London, 1663), referring to the game of "Talus," says, "this game (as I take it) is used of children in Norfolk, and they call it the chance bone, they play with three or four of these bones together: it is either the same or very like to it." Is this game known now in the county? Is it allied to that known in the south as "dibs," played with five knuckle bones of sheep?-WALTER RYE, Chelsea.

NOTES.

A GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF QUARLES.

The following pedigree is all the information I have hitherto gleaned relating to the family and descent of Francis Quarles, the author of the Emblems.
