They occur on a tomb of one of the Petty family, in Wanstead church, viz. :-Quarterly, Or and Az., over all on a bend Vert three martlets of the first.

The following monumental inscriptions are in the chancel of Finchingfield church, Essex. The family they commemorate inherited an estate called Sculpins, in that parish, from the Meades. I believe that they became extinct in the male line on the death of John Marshall, in 1760. I should be glad to know if any connection can be traced between them and Stephen Marshall, the celebrated divine, who was sometime Vicar of Finchingfield, and whose daughters, Anne and Rebecca, are well known to the readers of Pepys's Diary. On the floor of the chancel these : Under this stone lies the body of Sir John Marshall, Kt., obiit 21 of January, 1724, ætatis suæ 82. Arms-Marshall. Dame Dorothy, the wife of Sir John Marshall, of Sculpons, in this parish, Knight, obiit April 26, Anno Dom. 1685, ætatis 45. Arms-Marshall, impaling, a chevron Ermine between three trefoils for Meade. Dame Lucy, the wife of Sir John Marshall, of Sculpons, in this parish, Knight, obiit June 11th, Anno Dom. 1699, Ætatis 46. Arms-Marshall, impaling, three cronels for Wiseman (nearly obliter ated). On the north wall of the chancel : To the memory of John Marshall, Esq., second son of Sir John Marshall and Lucy his wife, late of Sculpins, in this parish. This monument was erected by his nieces, Anne and Lucy Marshall, as a testimony of their gratitude and respect. He departed this life, November 28, 1760, aged 66. Arms-Marshall, viz.:-paly of six Gules and Ermine, on a chevron Or three griffins' heads erased Gules.-G. W. M. Arms of Suffolk Towns.-Can any reader of the East Anglian refer me to a work, where I may find the arms, crest, and badge, borne anciently by the various towns within the counties of Norfolk, and especially Suffolk? Such a work may, perhaps, also include the arms of Guilds, &c.— W. H. S. Sope House (vol. II, p. 365).—In the extracts from the Churchwardens' Books of Forncet St. Peter, occurs this item :-"1705, May 17. Paid at the Sope House, upon the perambulation, 148. 6d." There is also a Soap House hill at Halesworth. What is the meaning of this?—L. Bail, the handle of a pail or bucket. Whence is this word derived? Phillips, New World of Words, has "BAILS, (among seamen) hoops set over the stern of a boat to bear up the tilt, especially when they lodge in a harbour." It appears to be a different word from "to bale out water from a boat.-BETA. The East Anglian. SEPTEMBER, 1866. NOTES. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF EAST ANGLIA. Mr. John Greaves Nall has just published a well-looking, bulky tome, of upwards of 700 fcp. 8vo pages, entitled, "Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft; a Handbook for Visitors and Residents, with Chapters on the Archæology, Natural History, &c., of the district; a history with Statistics of the East Coast Herring Fishery; and an Etymological and Comparative Glossary of the Dialect of East Anglia." (Longmans & Co.) The Guide Book proper contains a vast amount of information that everybody would like to know; but it is in the chapters on the herring fishery, and on the dialect of East Anglia, that the attractiveness and value of the book consists; and the more intelligent of the visitors to these two thriving places of resort, whether for recreation or for commerce, will be glad to have the history of the great staple of the coast so fully and yet so clearly presented to them; while the antiquary, the philologist, and the curious, will welcome the author's new glossary of the very striking dialect of this great Anglo-Saxon and Danish district. Many of our readers may think that what could be done to illustrate the common speech of this province, has been done by Moor and Forby; but a cursory glance over Mr. Nall's pages will shew that such is not the case. His glossary is by no means a transcript of Forby, nor does it supersede that vocabulary. The philologist will have to consult both authorities before pronouncing with confidence on the etymology of any word that it may be his lot to meet with in early East Anglian literature, or hear from the mouths of that noble race of men, who reflect so much lustre on the East Anglian seaboard. We should have been glad if the author had given us more of the terms and phrases peculiar to this class, for much remains to be done, by comparing the marine language of our several coasts, in elucidating the early vicissitudes to which our island has been exposed, Sope House (vol. III, p. 6).-The Norfolk Arms public house at Forncet, is generally known as the Sope house. The Manor Courts have been held there time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. I have thought it a corruption of Soke house.-G. A. C, |
