The late Mr. Robert Pa lg rave made considerable Collections relating to his Family History, and presumed Ancestry, for many years, and up to the date of his death in 1841.
An investigation to establish the Pedigree of the Pulham Branch was commenced in 1873 by the Editors, and the proof of that Pedigree, for over three centuries, having led to and involved the accumulation of much valuable information con- nected with that and other lines of Palgrave, it was decided, at the request and cost of Mr. CHARLES GEORGE PALGRAVE, to arrange and print them in this form.
The Editors are greatly indebted to Mr. Charles Bridger for the long and painstaking assistance he has rendered in every step of the work.

PART I.
PALGRAVE, Palgrava in Domesday, a plea- f\(8^i^'" sant v '" a S e an ^ parish in the county of [ |?^ §yT Suffolk, on the borders of Norfolk, gave its name to a family so called ; but Blomefield, the historian of Norfolk, says that the Palgraves were "a very ancient family," and took their name from a place called Pagrave in the hundred of South Greenhowe in that county. An examination of early Palgrave records clearly establishes the co- existence of two main lines, who both eventually adopted one common form of surname : and this theory enables us to account for the frequency of its occurrence (and the impossibility of assigning all to one origin) in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It is worthy of re- mark also, that, while each of these wide-spreading families were at times styled variously " Pagrave " and

Soon after the Conquest a part of Pagrave in Norfolk was separated from the rest and became the village called Pagrave Parva, or Little Pagrave \ whilst the other part was distinguished as Pagrave Magna*
The lordship of the former, says the same authority, was for many generations held by the Pagrave or, as the name became, Palgrave family, and here they had a seat, to which they built a chapel and attached to it the tythes of the manor, so that this chapel became parochial, and it was for a long time independent of the adjoining parish of Sporle ; but ultimately the a/ivowson and rectory of Little Pagrave were con- solidated with the vicarage of Sporle, and the lofty and spacious church of the Virgin Mary at Sporle became th * HIornefielcTs Norfolk, vol. vi. pp. 119, 125, 127.
FAMILY OF PALGRAVE. 3
Sporle is believed to have been founded by Henry II., who was Earl of Anjou, and on the suppression of English alien priories in 1420 it became vested in the Crown, until King Edward VI. gave it to the College of Eton, with which college the patronage still remains. " The Chapel at Pagrave," says Blomefield, "had long been delapidated," but in his time (1736) its site was well known. Pagrave Parva, although it still retains its separate name, is included in the parish of Sporle- with- Pagrave, and the whole is now designated Sporle.
In the reign of Henry II. John de Pagrave, son of Thomas de Pagrave, gave to the monks of Castleacre a yearly rent ; and it appears by the register of that abbey that several of the Palgraves gave lands to it from time to time. (*)
By the will of Henry Palgrave, who died in 1527, it is found that his widow was jointured on the manor of Pagrave Parva ; and indeed their possessions at this place remained in the Palgrave family until the final dispersion of their estates in 1737.
By Domesday Book it will be seen that at the time of the Survey there was a town in the hundred of Erpingham, in the county of Norfolk, called Barning- ham or Berningham, the lordship of which, after the
b 2
MEMORIALS OF THE
Conquest, was held by the Bigots, Earls of Norfolk, under whom the ancient family of De Berningham were early enfeoffed. After remaining in the latter family for several generations, their possessions passed to the Hethersets, ( 2 ) by the marriage of John de Hetherset with Elizabeth, one of the sisters and coheirs of Richard de Berningham.
This John de Hetherset was the son of Sir Simon de Hetherset, lord of Cringleford in Norfolk, and one of the Justices Itinerant, by Cecilia his wife.
John Pagrave acquired the lordship of Berningham by marrying Sibilla, * one of the two daughters and coheirs of William de Hetherset, son and heir of John de Hetherset, who in 1337 was made guardian of the wool customs in Norfolk. ( 8 ) William de Hetherset married Eva, daughter of Sir John de Hetherset, Knt,
and, leaving no son, this ancient family became extinct in the male line.

riage entitled to quarter with the arms of Palgrave, which, according to Blomefield, were Az., a lion rampant arg., and for a crest a leopard's head regardant ppr*
A view of Berningham church from the north north-east is here given. A family named Winter was possessed of an estate at Berningham from a very early period.
John Winter, son and heir of William Winter, a representative for the county of Norfolk in 1409, married for his second wife Elizabeth, one of the two daughters and coheirs (already mentioned) of William de Hetherset and Eva his wife, and consequently sister of the wife of John de Pagrave. By her he acquired a considerable estate, which was thenceforth called Berningham Winter or Ton Berningham to distinguish it from the pos- sessions of the Palgraves in Berningham Northwood.
* Blomefield's Norfolk, vol. viii. p. 92 et seq. Blomefield gives for Heth- erset a "leopard salient." Other authorities, a "lion." Certain it is that the Palgraves of Berningham quartered Arg. a lion salient or on their monu- ments in Berningham church ; but there is no record of these arras at Heralds' College.
The Palgrave arms frequently occur with the variations of the lion being gold or silver on the blue field, and either simply "rampant" or rampant gardant. It is reasonably conjectured that the family did not bear arms till the Hetherset marriage, when the arms of the heiress-wife were adopted (as was frequently the case) as the cognizance of the descendants. — S. T.

( 4 )
John Pagrave, eldest son of John Pagrave and Sibilla (Hetherset) his wife, married, first, Margaret,t daughter of Clement Herward of Aldborough in Norfolk, ( 6 ) and, secondly, Anne daughter and heir of Henry Sturmer of the city of Norwich. The latter survived her husband,

t Blomefield calls this wife of John Pagrave the daughter of William Hanningfield ; and at " Hawsted Howse " in Suffolk, the seat of Roger Drury her third husband, the arms attributed to " Hanningfeild," Or a chev. sa., occur impaled with Drury. — Gage's Suffolk^ p. 443. William Hanningfield died 1426, leaving three daughters his coheirs, Elizabeth aged 4j Katherine aged 2, and Agnes aged 30 weeks. The second daughter, it is believed, married Henry Sturmer of Norwich, and Katherine Sturmer, widow, is mentioned in the will of John Banyard the second husband of the lady in question. It is just possible she may have been their only child and heir, as the Visitation states she was, or she may have been the Agnes mentioned in the Inq. /. m. f taken after the death of Wm. Hanningfield, as his youngest child, and on inheriting the estates of Henry Sturmer and Katherine his wife, after the death of the latter, was erroneously treated at the Visitation as heiress in blood.

An engraving of his monument in Barningham church is annexed. He left, by Urith, daughter of William Saunders of Ewell, Surrey, an only son, Sir Augustine Palgrave, who had been knighted by James I. at Hinchingbroke, 24th November, 1604. He filled the office of Sheriff of Norfolk in 161 7, in which capacity, when attending Chief Justice Montague at the Norwich Assizes, he advised the Chief Justice to take the chair at the annual open-air preaching, which, according to ancient custom, was held in the " Green Yard " of the cathedral. To this innovation John Mingay, the then Mayor of Norwich, would by no means submit, whereupon the Chief Justice had to give way to the civic authority, and consoled himself by blaming the High Sheriff for his officiousness.
Sir Augustine Palgrave married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Willoughby of Rysley in Derbyshire, by whom he had nine sons and five daughters. She " commended her spirit," as her epitaph records, in 1634, aged fifty- three. He and his wife were buried under a stately monument in the parish church of Berningham North wood, of which an engraving is here given.

FAMILY OF PALGRAVE. 9

John Palgrave, their eldest son and heir, was created a baronet 24th June, 1641. He married first Elizabeth, daughter of John Jermy of Gunton (") in Norfolk, who died in 1634, and secondly, Anne, daughter of Sir William De Grey of Merton, Norfolk, ( 12 ) and widow of Cotton Gascoigne, Esq., of Illington in Norfolk. ( 13 ) She survived her second husband, Sir John Palgrave, and died on Christmas Day, 1676, and was buried in the chancel of the church of St. Peter H ungate, Norwich, where there is a monument to her memory bearing the shields of Gascoigne (single), De Grey (in a lozenge), and Palgrave (single). Annexed is an engraving of this monument. The Palgrave arms also appear in stained glass. They had one daughter, Ursula, who married first William Barsham of Colkirk, and secondly Samuel Smith of Colkirk, Norfolk, and upon her issue by the second marriage the Palgrave estates ultimately devolved, as will be presently seen.
John Palgrave was returned to Parliament for the county of Norfolk in 1640; and although created a baronet by Charles I., in the following year we find him in strong hostility to the Crown. This, however, does not prove any change in his political opinions. It may be that the honour was forced upon him for the sake of the fees which attended it ; but it is strong
IO MEMORIALS OF THE
evidence of his social position at that time and of his ability to sustain this title. In 1642 he was made a commissioner for the maintenance of an army in Norfolk, and in the following year was appointed a commissioner for sequestering the estates of delinquents, and also a commissioner "for the relief of the Commonwealth." He was on the Committee of the Associated Counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridge, Hertford, and Huntingdon, to which Leicester was afterwards added. In 1643 h e was one of the Earl of Manchester's com- missioners for the surrender of King's Lynn, and on the 15th of February following he was named in the Ordinance for the defence of the kingdom and for the levying of money, and in September of that year he was appointed to treat with Prince Rupert at Newark.
In 1650 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace for the county of Norfolk, and his last appointment appears to have been that of Commissioner of Assessments in 1656. He never despaired of the Commonwealth, for in April, 1660, when a "Healing Parliament " was called, Sir John Palgrave consented to stand for the borough of Great Yarmouth, having that notorious regicide Miles Corbet as his colleague. They were elected by the corporation, who at that time claimed the sole right of voting for burgesses to Parliament, in exclusion of

the freemen at large. The latter however determined to assert their right to vote, and nominated Sir John Potts, Knt. and Bart., of Mannington in Norfolk, and Sir William D'Oyley, Bart., of Shotesham in Norfolk. The bailiffs made a return of Sir John Palgrave and Miles Corbet, and were ordered by the corporation not to sign or seal any other indenture which might be tendered to them. A petition to Parliament was then presented complaining of the return made by the bailiffs. It was referred to a Committee of the House of Commons, and Mr. Bailiff Emperor and Mr. Bends, the Town Clerk, went to London to defend what they considered to be the privileges of the corporation. The committee decided that the freemen at large were entitled to vote, and they ever after retained this pri- vilege until disfranchised in 1848. Palgrave and Miles Corbet were unseated, and Potts and D'Oyley declared duly elected, and they, being royalists, no doubt voted for the unconditional return of King Charles II. Miles Corbet fled to the continent, but was afterwards cap- tured, and ultimately hanged at Tyburn. Nothing apparently happened to Sir John Palgrave after the loss of his seat, for we hear of him no more.
He died in 1672, aged sixty-seven, and was buried at Berningham North wood, and was succeeded in the c 2

baronetcy by his eldest son Sir Augustine Palgrave, who married first Barbara, daughter and heir of Cotton Gascoigne of Illington, and secondly Catherine, daughter of Sir William Spring of* Pakenham, Suffolk, ( 14 ) and thirdly Anne, daughter of Sir Richard Grubham Howe of Wishford in Wiltshire. ( 16 ) Sir Augustine Palgrave was one of the Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber, and at the coronation of James I. his name stands at the head of the list of those in attendance on that occasion.
In Sandford's book of the " Grand proceeding to " their Majesties Coronation from Westminster Hall to "the Collegiate Chufch of Saint Peter in Westminster "on Thursday, 23 rd of April, being the Festival of " St. George in y c year of our Lord 1685," there is a plate representing the " Gentlemen of y c Privy Cham- ber" in their habits, four abreast, the first being, as is supposed, " Sir Augustine Palgrave, Baronet."
The annexed plate is from a drawing made from the above-mentioned engraving, and is believed to represent Sir Augustine Palgrave. He died in 1629, aged eighty- one, and was buried at Berningham North wood.
Urith, daughter of Sir Augustine Palgrave, born in 1661, was married at Berningham North wood in 1683 to Haynes Barlee, who was son of Haynes Barlee, Esq., and Mary his wife, daughter of William

Riddlesden of London. He was a captain in the Essex Trained Bands, Deputy Lieutenant of, and in the Commission of the Peace for, that county. He died 6th July, 1691, in the twenty-seventh year of his age, and was %< invaulted," as his epitaph terms it, in Clavering church, Essex. (**)
By his third marriage Sir Augustine Palgrave left an only son and heir, Sir Richard Palgrave, Bart., who died at Norwich in 1732, aged forty-four, and was the last of his race, buried in the Church of Berningham Northwood. Dying unmarried, and there being no known living male descendant of the first baronet, the tide became extinct.
A suit in Chancery was then instituted, and under a decree of that court, the estates, which had been for centuries vested in the Palgrave family, were sold and dispersed, and the purchase-money divided among the four daughters of Samuel Smith of Colkirk, who was the son of Ursula Palgrave (by Samuel Smith her husband,) already mentioned as the daughter of Sir John Palgrave, Bart. ; they being declared to be the next of kin and coheiresses at law of Sir Richard Palgrave, the last baronet.

In the middle ages the duty upon wool exported formed a considerable item in the king's revenue from customs.
These duties were usually farmed.
Thus we find, by the Abbreviatio Rotulorum origiualium, that the celebrated Yarmouth Admiral, John Perebrown, farmed the king's customs on all wool exported. R.

(4) P. 6. Berningham Winter.
This lordship, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, passed into the possession of the great Norfolk family of Paston, and in 161 2, instead of the former hall, which was then pulled down, Sir Edward Paston, Knt., erected the present mansion, which continued with his descendants until 1756.
In 1775, it came into the possession of the Mott family, the present owner being John Thomas Mott, Esq., who is the principal land owner in the parish. The west or entrance front of the hall remains in its original state, and presents a fine example of the style prevailing in the reign of James I., in which the double dormer is a conspicuous feature. The drawing-room is a good specimen of the Elizabethan style of internal decoration.

22 THE PALGRAVE FAMILY.
Anne Drury of Norwich, widow, "late wife of Roger Drury, Squyer," by her will, proved in 1 503, desired " to be buryed in the hows of the Blak Ffryers in Norwich, by the grave of John Pagrave, sutyme my husband." She bequeathed to Henry Pagrave, her "neve," her "stondyng pece all gilt," with her father's and mother's arms thereon. To Anne Pagrave her " best gown," and to Margaret Drury a gown " next the best." She made Henry Pagrave one of her executors, and Sir Robert Drury, Knt, supervisor.
A branch of the Drury family established itself at Great Yarmouth in the sixteenth century, where, upon what had been the precinct of the Dominicans or Black Friars, Roger Drury erected a dwelling-house, which remains to this day, and has a cut-Hint front which is a good specimen of the style of architecture then prevailing. — See Per lustration , vol. ii. p. 432.

Sir William Yelverton was a Judge of the King's Bench in 1444, and was made a Knight of the Bath in 1460 ; and by Jane his first wife, daughter of Sir Oliver le Gros, was father of Sir John Yelverton, Esquire to the body of Edward IV.

Peter his brother, who was knighted by Charles V. for the winning of Tunis, in 1538, was allowed, with other augmentations, "a sword in pale, point down- wards, sticking into a Moor's head." A branch of the family settled at Great Yarmouth. For further particulars see Perlustration, vol. i. p. 109. Thomas Rede of Beccles married Theophila, one of the two daughters and coheirs of William Leman of Beccles (descended from an ancient Suffolk family) and by her left two daughters and coheirs, one of whom married the Rev. Richard Turner of Great Yarmouth, and the other the Rev. Samuel Lovick Cooper of Great Yarmouth, (see Perlustration, vol. ii. p. 202) ; the latter was the mother of Sir Astley Cooper, Bart., the celebrated surgeon.
The Rev. Rede Cooper, second son of the Rev. Samuel Lovick Cooper, assumed the name and arms of Rede only, by royal sign manual, in pur- suance of the will of his maternal uncle, and succeeded to the Rede property at Beccles, and to other estates inherited by the Redes from the Wingfield, Naunton, and Leman families. —See Gage's Suffolk,
(10) P. 7. FERROUR.
John Ferrour, Steward of the Manor of Gressenhall, Norfolk, by his will, made in 1483, gave lands there "to keep his anniversary." The north transept of the parish church at Gressenhall was called Ferrour's Chapel. A family of this name flourished at Norwich in the sixteenth century.
Robert Ferrour was twice Mayor of Norwich, as was William his son, who died in 1577. Richard Ferrer, son of the latter, filled the same office in 1596, and died in 161 6.
Richard Ferrour, or Ferrier, as the name became, son of the last-mentioned Mayor of Norwich, came to Yarmouth, where he appears to have soon taken root, for in 1643 he was chosen one of the bailiffs. His descendants, during that and the succeeding century, repeatedly filled the office of mayor, and also represented the borough in Parliament.

The family of Barlee came originally from Barlee, or Barley, in Hertfordshire, and settled at Albury in that county : had possessions at an early period at Clavering in Essex.
Henry Barlee filled the office of Sheriff of Herts and Essex in 1466.
William his son forfeited the family estates by joining Perkin Warbeck in 1550. His son Henry was Sheriff of Essex and Herts in 1524. Under the will of Palgrave Barlee of Clavering, some of the family estates passed to Catherine, the only daughter of William Buckle of Ditchingham, by Bridget his wife, daughter and at length heir of Edward Hobart, Esq., by Catherine his wife, daughter of Haynes Barlee and sister of Palgrave Barlee, both of Clavering, whereupon Catherine Buckle obtained a grant of the name and arms of Barlee — Barry, wavy of six, sa. and erm., with a canton for difference.— See Perlustration, vol. iii. p. 265.

Gray addressed a letter to Mr. Palgrave in 1758, when the latter was paying a visit to Scotland, and again in 1765, when he was making a tour in France and Italy. ( 6 ) The literary associations of Mr. Palgrave were not confined to the Poet Gray at the University of Cambridge, for Gibbon, in the Autobiography (published by Lord Sheffield after Gibbons death) describing his life in England between 1765 and 1770, during "the "winter months in London," mentions that "a weekly " convivial meeting was established by myself and other " travellers, under the name of the Roman Club."

Riding one day with his brother, who had an impediment in his speech, his horse ran away with him and ultimately threw him. Some rustics, to whom the Rector's person was unknown, found him stunned and speechless. Supposing the above-mentioned defect to be the result of the accident, they endeavoured to force the head straight on the shoulders, when the brother rode up and with much sputtering and difficulty made them understand that "the gentleman was born so."
He died at Brighton, 5th November, 1799, aged sixty-four, " Amidst/ ' says the Ipswich ^ourna/ f "a "concurrence of his sorrowing parishioners, who on " the death of their worthy rector lamented, in common "with all who knew him, the loss of a man in whom "every benevolent, social, and amiable quality of the "heart that could endear him to his fellow creatures "were combined."

He had the liberty of keeping hounds, and following game anywhere within the manor. Another tenant held seven acres of land by being the lord's hangman. All other services were remitted, but whenever a thief was hanged in the manor, he was obliged to perform this hateful office by reason of his tenure.

Notwithstanding these mishaps he persevered, and having obtained the command of a third privateer, he made amends for former failures by capturing many rich prizes, and was enabled to retire with a sufficient fortune. He settled in London, where he was much esteemed and respected ; became one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, and a Director of Greenwich Hospital. He was regarded as an authority on all naval matters, and, it is said, was consulted by Lord Sandwich when First Lord of the Admiralty.

He also carried on an extensive business as a Ship- owner and Corn Merchant at Great Yarmouth, and was selected to attend upon the minister, Mr. Pitt, in conference on the subject of the trade of the town.
He took an active part in local politics and municipal affairs. He was a strong adherent of the Whig party at a time when Radicals and Liberals were unknown by those names, and he was a warm supporter of Thomas William Coke of Holkham (afterwards Earl of Leicester) in his frequent contests for the representation of Norfolk in Parliament, when that county was undivided, and when freeholders alone were entitled to vote. Mr. Palgrave was a frequent guest at the annual Holkham Sheep Shearing, ( 8 ) to which all the celebrated agriculturists
• When a child, the only one of a large family who survived infancy, he was sent to Pulham to be nursed, a circumstance which is confirmatory of the traditional connection of the Yarmouth family of Palgrave with that place. It is a singular fact that the lady he married was also the only one of ten children who lived to maturity.
H
5 of this and other counties were usually invited. He entered the Yarmouth Corporation in 1774, and filled the office of Mayor in 1782 and again in 1805. So popular was he that on one occasion the freemen pro- posed to nominate him as a candidate for the repre- sentation of the town in Parliament, an honour which he declined. He married 16th April, 1771, Elizabeth, only surviving child of Robert Thirkettle ( 9 ) of Flegg Burgh, Norfolk, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Samuel Tolver. Mrs. Palgrave died 19th October, 1805, aged fifty-seven, and was buried at Coltishall. Mr. Palgrave died at the Manor House there on 9th November, 1822, aged seventy-seven, and was buried in Coltishall church. ( 10 )

The annexed portrait of William Palgrave (private plate) was engraved by the late Mrs. Dawson Turner from a painting commenced by Sir Thomas Lawrence and finished by Lane in 1816, now in the possession of Mr. Thomas Palgrave of Bryn-y-gynod.
By the above marriage he left three sons, viz. —

3. Robert, born 12th July, 1780; ob. 2nd November, 1804, unmarried.
And six daughters, whose numerous descendants down to the present generation will be found presently.
Robert Palgrave, the third and youngest son of William Palgrave, early evinced a taste for learning, and was sent to the University of Cambridge, where he obtained the Gold Classical Medal, which is now in the possession of Mr. Simpson of Norwich. At college he formed a friendship with Thomas Denman, after- wards Solicitor General to Queen Caroline, and Lord Chief Justice of England, created Lord Denman in 1834.
For some youthful indiscretion they were, as an im- position, ordered to repeat three hundred verses from memory. In order to lighten the burden they resorted to the following expedient. Denman went up at the appointed time and repeated one hundred and fifty verses, when Palgrave stepped forward and repeated the remaining hundred and fifty. " Oh ! " says the impositor, 44 1 see how it is ; but you shall not escape so easily " another time."
Having accepted the appointment of Registrar of the High Court of Admiralty at Gibraltar, he died there of Yellow Fever in 1 804.

The name of Palgrave does not appear in any Yarmouth municipal record, except that we find, in 1618, John Palgrave was in possession of part of the site of the then dissolved convent of the Grey Friars at Great Yarmouth. Some account of this Franciscan Priory will be found in the Appendix to Manship's History of Great Yarmouth. A small portion of the cloister, now occupied as a dwelling, alone exists, and is represented in the annexed engraving.
In 1692, when it was expected that King William III. would land in Great Yarmouth on his return from an expedition to the Continent, a Mr. Palgrave of that day was sent express from Yarmouth to Sir Thomas Allin, a* Somerleyton, to beg the loan of his coach and horses for the accommo- dation of His Majesty. The King landed and was entertained at the house of Mr. Bailiff Robins on the South Quay.

Captain Thomas Palgrave purchased a messuage, then and still called the " Manor House," an ancient tenement called " Postills," and an estate of about >"0 acres of land at Coltishall, a parish and small town of some an- tiquity on the high road between Norwich and North Walsham. in the hundred of South Krptngham, Norfolk. This estate was then held, as it still is, of "the Provost and Scholars of the King's College of Blessed Mary and " St, Nicholas of Cambridge,* and had been acquired by that college in the eighteenth year of King Edward I\\ The rent, invariably reserved to the college on every renewal of the lease, was 27** 4/. yearly on the 10th iVtober, with one quarter v at and after the customary measure theretofore used in Cambridge of sixty-seven pints to the busheP of "good and mer-

There were assembled "men from all parts of Europe to witness the practical working of a system " of husbandry of which Mr. Coke was considered the founder. We sat " down each day upwards of five hundred to dinner in the state apartments. u There were plenty of speeches, principally on the science of agriculture.

WILLIAM PALGRAVE, the eldest son of William Palgrave, of Coltishall, and Eliza- beth (Thirkettle) his wife, was born on the ioth of September, 1771. The conflict in which this country became engaged with revolutionary France towards the close of the last century, led to the formation of Corps of Volunteers, of all arms, throughout the kingdom ; and in 1 794 some troops of mounted yeomanry were raised in Norfolk, so called as being principally composed of farmers finding their own horses.
This spirit of resistance to threats of invasion reached the town of Great Yarmouth, where a troop of "Yarmouth Gentlemen of Yeomanry" was formed, in which, on the 20th June, 1798, young Palgrave was commissioned by the Duke of Portland, as

Lieutenant; and in the gay uniform of his corps the young officer forthwith had a likeness taken, which is now in the possession of his eldest surviving son, Thomas Palgrave, Esq., of Bryn-y-gynog, and has been engraved expressly for this work by Mr. Joseph Brown. He is represented in the large white cravat then recently introduced by George, Prince of Wales. On the 1 8th of October, 1798, Mr. Palgrave was married at St. Paul's, Covent Garden, to Elizabeth, only daughter of Samuel Barker, Esq., of Great Yar- mouth. (*) They resided in George Street until 1 808. Mr. Barker had then purchased an old house on the South Quay, Great Yarmouth, which had previously been a tavern called the Three Crattcs, but which had been more recently converted into a bank- ing house, in which Messrs. Gurneys and Co., of Norwich, commenced their business at Yarmouth in 1775. This old building Mr. Barker demolished, and on its site erected a spacious mansion, which became the family residence of Mr. Palgrave until he re- moved from Yarmouth in 1826. The peculiarly toned white bricks with which this house was erected were made on the Holkham estate, and were a present from Thomas William Coke, Esq., of Holkham, after-

wards Earl of Leicester, with whom the Palgraves, father and son, had been on friendly terms.*
At the age of thirty-four Mr. Palgr&ve was appointed to the Collectorship of Customs at the Port of Great Yarmouth. Offices of this kind, then of considerable emolument, were at that time frequently obtained through political influence and without any previous experience in the service. It was, however, univer- sally admitted that Mr. Palgrave discharged his important duties with marked ability, and not only to the satisfaction of all with whom he had any official intercourse, but with the approbation of the heads of his department, then called "Commissioners of Customs," by whom Mr. Palgrave was usually selected to enquire and report upon irregularities occurring at any out-port in England, and on other official matters.
In 1824 he held an important Inquiry at Norwich, and for his services on that occasion was presented with a silver salver of the value of two hundred

guineas (now in the possession of Thomas Palgrave, Esq.), inscribed as follows : — " Presented to William Palgrave, Esq., Collector of " Customs at the Port of Great Yarmouth, by the Mer- chants and Manufacturers of the City of Norwich, to " express their sense of his official conduct in regulating " the drawback granted to them by Government on "the Repeal of the Duties on Silk in April and May " 1824, on which occasion he united the most considerate "regard for the convenience of the Trade with the " most vigilant attention to the interests of the State." *
* When George IV. was returning from Scotland the royal yacht anchored unexpectedly in Yarmouth Roads on the 31st January, 1822. The then Mayor (John Danby Palmer, Esq.) was advised that as a mark of respect he ought to go on board. Accordingly, accompanied by the Town Clerk and some members of the Corporation and other friends, a boat was launched from the beach ; but as she approached the royal yacht, the Mayor's boat, like all others, was warned off. Captain Claxton, R.N., who was with his worship, in vain shouted " The Mayor ! the Mayor ! " but no notice was taken from the yacht except by repeated calls for " The Collector ! the Collector ! " Teste me ipso. No Collector was however there ; and after waiting a short time the anchor was weighed and the yacht proceeded. The mystery was solved by the next post, which brought an official letter to the Collector of Customs, giving him notice that it was intended to anchor in Yarmouth Roads, and requesting him to be prepared with a supply of milk and fresh provisions. Alas ! there were no telegrams in those days !
On another occasion, the services of Mr. Palgrave were required by royalty. When the Duke of Clarence, afterwards William IV., and his Duchess, afterwards Queen Adelaide, landed at Yarmouth, they went to the Angel Hotel in the Market Place, and in the evening the Collector of Customs was sent for, and was received by the Duchess (the Duke being

He was particularly fond of music, and was himself a skilful player on the violoncello. It was through his exertions that a musical society was established at Great Yarmouth in 1814, when a concert-room was erected at the rear of the Town House on the South Quay, which room was afterwards and still is used as a Public Library. This society flourished so long as Mr. Palgrave resided in Great Yarmouth and had the management of it, but when he left the town it fell away.
Mr. Palgrave, like his father, entered the Yarmouth Corporation, and, after filling the subordinate offices, was elected Mayor in 18 14, after the "Inquest" had "laid" from Monday morning till Wednesday afternoon before they could agree on their verdict. This delay arose from no dislike to Mr. Palgrave, who was uni- versally popular, but in consequence of a difference which then existed in the Corporation as to the nomi- nating of Commoners.
The mode of electing a Mayor of Great Yarmouth was so peculiar that some account of it may not be unacceptable here. It was in this wise. Annually on the anniversary of " the Decollation of St. John disabled by fatigue) and was informed that the royal party were short of money and required some assistance to reach London, which was of course readily supplied.

devise was on such occasions resorted to to mitigate the stringency of the custody.
To meet the difficulties of a protracted "lay" in 1813, the Inquest made a double return, naming Mr. Palgrave and Mr. Jacob Preston; but this verdict could not be received, and they were shut up again, and eventually nine of the twelve agreed to elect Mr. Preston.
When a sufficient number of Common Councilmen were not found to form an Inquest, the Mayor was accustomed to nominate " Commoners " from the Free- men to make up the number. This was supposed to give the Mayor an undue influence in the choice of a successor, and was therefore resisted by Mr. Palgrave and others.
In 1826 Mr. Palgrave was promoted to the Collector- ship at Dublin, then esteemed one of the prizes in the service, and he held this appointment until his death, which occurred at Dublin on the nth of January, 1838, being then in his sixty-eighth year. He was buried in the Mount Jerome Cemetery at St. Harold's Cross, Dublin.
His widow removed to Liverpool, where she died on the 23rd of March, 1863, aged eighty-three, and was buried in the family vault at Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin.

(1) P. 68. Barker.
Samuel Barker, the father of Mrs. Palgrave, was descended from a family of that name long resident at Lowestoft. In 1643 Sir Edward Barker was, with others, taken prisoner by Oliver Cromwell at Low- estoft, and carried to his head-quarters at Somerleyton Hall in Suffolk.
John Barker, fishing merchant at Lowestoft, was a sufferer by the great fire which happened there in 1644.
Samuel Barker, an eminent merchant and " a great friend of the poor " at Lowestoft, married Margaret Arnold, of an old Lowestoft family, by whom he had two sons, John and Samuel. The former was one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House and a Director of Greenwich Hospital. He acquired a considerable fortune, and died in London in 1787, aged 8o» and was buried with much funereal pomp at Lowestoft in a mausoleum in the churchyard there, for the erection of which he had bequeathed jCs°° and also ;£iooo, the interest of which was to be applied in keeping the same in repair, an obligation which is still observed. For many years previous to his death, he distributed annually ,£250 among poor and infirm sailors, their widows and children. There is a portrait of him painted by John Jones (but erroneously ascribed to Sir Joshua Reynolds) which represents the old gentleman attired in black velvet, seated at a table on which are maps and papers ; and in the background is seen the entrance to a harbour.
This picture was engraved at the expense, it is said, of 500 guineas, and a

limited number of impressions only were taken before the plate was destroyed, so that the prints have become extremely rare.
The picture itself was discovered in London many years ago by Mr. John Barker, Mrs. Palgrave's brother, and by him brought to his house at Norwich, where it continued until his death in 1855 > anc * it remained the property of his widow, until it was purchased by Mr. Charles George Palgrave, and it now hangs in the hall of Shaddingfield Lodge, Great Yarmouth.
John Barker of Lowestoft had an only sister Elizabeth, who married Richard Church. They had a son, John Barker Church, of whose extra- ordinary career, both in this country and in North America (where he had gone before the breaking out of the War of Independence) a full account has been published.

Samuel Barker, the other son of Samuel Barker of Lowestoft, settled in Great Yarmouth as a merchant and shipowner, and filled the office of Mayor in 1800, and in that capacity had the honor of entertaining Lord Nelson on his landing at Great Yarmouth after the victory of Aboukir. There the hero met the Mayor's daughter, and in a letter to Mr. Barker in the following year, he says, " I beg my respects to Mrs. Palgrave."
After the Battle of Copenhagen, when Nelson's flag was flying on board the 67. George in Koige Bay, he addressed the following letter to Mr. Barker.
" St. George, Koige Bay, April 27th, 1801. " My dear Sir,
" I feel truly sensible of your kind congratulations on the success of His Majesty's arms ; the spirit and zeal of the Navy, I never saw higher than in this fleet, and if England is true to herself she may bid defiance to Europe. The French have always in ridicule called us a nation of shopkeepers, so I hope we shall always remain, and like other shopkeepers, if our goods are better than those of any other country, and we can afford to sell them cheaper, we may depend upon our shop being well resorted to. If I land at Yarmouth, I shall most assuredly pay my personal respects to you, not only as a Gentleman who has shewn me great civilities, but also as the Chief Magistrate of a borough of which I have the honour to be a freeman.

In July following Nelson was compelled on account of his health to resign his command, and again landed at Great Yarmouth. After remaining some time in the town he proceeded to his house at Merton in Surrey, which the hero had then recently acquired. From that place he wrote to Mr. Barker, saying, " I never shall forget all your goodness to me ; and if ever I am " placed in a situation to shew my gratitude I trust I shall not be found " wanting."
In acknowledgment of the hospitality of Mr. Barker to naval officers, Captain Hardy presented him with a model of the Admiral's barge, with the figure of Nelson seated at the stern, and rowed by the jolly tars of that day, with their ample pigtails. It remained in Mr. Barker's possession until his death, but what subsequently became of it is not known.
As an example of the social habits which prevailed at the commencement of the present century, it may be mentioned that Mr. Barker, when mayor, gave as usual his Inauguration Dinner at the Town Hall on Michaelmas Day, to as many guests as the tables would accommodate. He was also Captain of a Company of Volunteers, who were entertained else- where ; but when a sufficient number of guests had left the Hall at night, the Volunteers " marched in, preceded by their band, and caroused " till three or four o'clock in the morning."
Mr. Barker died in 1812, leaving two sons, the Rev. Samuel Loney Barker, who was run over and killed in the streets of London, and John Barker, who (being deaf) was accidentally knocked down and killed in the streets of Norwich.
Barker of Lowestoft and Yarmouth bore, Barry of ten or and sa., over all a bend gu. An emblazonment of their arms on vellum was presented by Sir William Woods, Garter, to the above-named John Barker, Esq., of Norwich.

(2 P. 74. William Parr Palgrave,
The eldest son of the Collector was named after the celebrated Dr. Parr, who then resided at Norwich, and with whom the Collector and his father were intimate. The doctor occasionally paid a visit at Coltishall, one bond of union with the Collector being a mutual fondness for tobacco. The doctor, it is said, always indulged in a pipe after dinner, and before com- mencing operations used, whoever happened to be present, to desire the servant to bring his " smoking coat.*

(4) P. 75. William Barker Palgrave,
The second but eldest surviving son of William Palgrave the Collector. When his father was selected for Dublin, he commenced business in that city as a merchant and shipowner; and his brother Charles George Palgrave joining him, the firm became W. B. and C. Palgrave and Co., and their extensive shipping and mercantile transactions necessitated the establishment of a house in London.
Ireland is much indebted to this enterprising firm for opening out a direct steam communication with many foreign countries ; and they are well known for their early and large importations of cattle from abroad into Ireland and^England.
There is a portrait of Mr. Charles George Palgrave at Shaddingfield Lodge.

Edward Drew, of Broadhants, Devon, had, with other children, Georgina Caroline, now Marchioness of Salisbury.
Serjeant Firth, when the Recordership of Great Yarmouth became vacant by the resignation of Mr. Joddrell, became a candidate for that office; but Mr. Alderson, although not coinciding with a majority of the corpo- ration in politics, was elected, when, it is pretended, he gave vent to his satisfaction in some lines beginning with —
" Recorder I am, but I don't care a d
" For the mayor and the whole corporation."

The ancestors of the Turners of Yarmouth were small landed proprietors at Kcnnington, a village in Norfolk now united to Mulbarion, the property (purchased in 1570) descending from father to son for many genera- tions, until the present century, when it was sold. The founder of the Yarmouth family was Francis Turner, who was bred to the law, and having settled in Yarmouth, married the daughter of Thomas Godfrey, then Town Gerk, and eventually succeeded to that office in 1710, but died at the early age of 38 in 1719, leaving a son, the Rev. Francis Turner, who by Sarah his wife, daughter of James Dawson, Esq , had issue (t) Francis, an eminent surgeon; (2) Joseph, who was Senior Wrangler in 1768, Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge, and ultimately
104 NOTES TO PART VI.
Dean of Norwich ; (3) Richard, who through the influence of the Dean became Incumbent of Great Yarmouth ; and (4) James, the youngest, who became the resident partner of the firm of Gurneys and Co. of Norwich, when they first opened a bank at Great Yarmouth. The latter, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of John Cotman, Esq., (of an old Yarmouth family) was the father of Dawson Turner, Esq., who married Mary, the eldest daughter of William Palgrave, Esq.
Dawson Turner was born at Great Yarmouth in 1775, an< * was entered at Pembroke College, Cambridge, under the care of his uncle, the then Master ; but his father dying in the following year he was compelled to leave the University to supply his father's place in the bank. Business could but slightly interfere with his devotion to literature, and the name of Dawson Turner soon became known especially for his acquirements in Botany, in furtherance of whicli science he published some valuable works. In 1797 he was elected a Fellow of the Linmcan Society. Few individuals have been more distinguished by literary honors, cither domestic or foreign. He became a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Society, and others of less importance, whilst the foreign societies into which he was elected arc too numerous to mention. He formed an extensive library, was indefatigable in the collection of autographs, and was possessed of a small but choice collection of pictures. His best known illustrated books are Blomefield's History of Norfolk, 1 1 vols., swelled into 70, now in the Library of the British Museum. He also wrote and published A Tour in Normandy, and other works. In 1848 he issued his Sepulchral Remin- iscences, a very useful work for local genealogists, a new edition of which, extending to the churchyards and cemeteries down to the present time, is much required.

(3) Page 91. Sir William Jackson Hooker.
He claimed to be descended from the Secretary of Ireland who was a con- tributor to Hollingshed's Chronicles, and was of the same family of which Richard Hooker, author of the Ecclesiastical Polity \ was a member. He was the only surviving son of Joseph Hooker, Esq., of Exeter. He received his education at the Grammar School at Norwich. His turn for natural history early developed itself, and he made many botanical tours, the most important of which was that in Iceland, of which he gave an account in his Tour in Iceland, which was printed at Keymer's press, in Great Yarmouth. On returning from Iceland he narrowly escaped a terrible death. The ship on board which he was a passenger caught fire, and his only means of escape was the chance of a passing vessel. His father-in-law, Mr. Dawson Turner, proved a valuable and able assistant to him in his unwearied literary labours. He first settled at Halesworth in Suffolk, and in 1820 he accepted the Regius Professorship in the University at Glasgow, where he received the degree of LL.D. Here he published many important botanical works, and formed that Herbarium which became the finest in Europe. In 1841 he was ap- pointed to the Directorship of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, which he retained until his death. The honour of knighthood was conferred on him in 1836 in consideration of his scientific services. He was a D.C.L. of Oxford, and a Fellow of most of the scientific societies. He died at Kew at the advanced age of 81. He was succeeded in the Directorship of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew by his son, Joseph Dalton Hooker, Esq., M.D., C.B., who on the 2nd of June, 1877, was gazetted a Knight Commander of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India.

(S) Page 91. Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, K.CS.I.
Joseph Dalton Hooker was born at Halesworth, Suffolk, on the 30th of June, 1 8 17. He was educated at the High School and University of Glasgow, and having imbibed from childhood a strong predilection for natural-history pursuits, collecting and examining, as opportunity offered, plants, minerals, and insects, his interest in such subjects was largely increased by the society which he met at his father's house ; for the rooms of Professor Hooker at Glasgow were the resort of scientific travellers, especially those engaged in arctic exploration. Among the associates of his youth were Franklin, Parry, Ross, Richardson, and indeed travellers from all parts of the world. Hence the reading of books of travel became a passion with him, and at the age of twenty-two he accompanied, officially as Assistant-Surgeon, but in reality as Naturalist, the famous expedition of Sir James Clark Ross, for the purpose of investigating the phenomena of terrestrial magnetism in the south circumpolar seas. And so actively did Hooker avail himself of the opportunities afforded by his visits to the various antarctic Islands, in addition to those in the vicinity of the Australian continent, that a grant of ^1000 was awarded by the Government to assist in the description and publication of his collected specimens. The botanical results of this adventurous voyage, worked out by Dr. Hooker in a manner quite unprecedented for its picturesque and philosophical detail, were pub- lished in six quarto volumes of closely-printed pages, illustrated with 500 coloured plates.
On the return of Dr. Hooker to England, the describing of his plants, coupled with the arduous duty of collating his specimens with those collected by previous voyagers, preserved in the herbarium of the British Museum, occupied the principal share of his attention until 1846, when he accepted the appointment of Botanist to the Geological Survey. His researches in connection with the duties of this office were directed more especially to the coal plants, and he contributed some valuable papers on the subject to the publications of that institution.
Dr. Hooker having acquired a knowledge of the botany of the temperate zones, now felt a desire to explore that of the tropics. In 1847 he under- took an important botanical mission to the Sikkim and Nepal Himalayas ; his chief object being to collect facts for a geographical distribution of plants. He sent home rich collections both of dried and living plants, amongst the latter of which must especially be mentioned a magnificent series of new Rhododendrons, which now form conspicuous ornaments of our gardens and
THE PALGRAVE FAMILY. IO/
greenhouses. From drawings and specimens of these, transmitted by him to England, Sir William Hooker edited a superb folio volume, entitled Rhododendrons of the Sikkhn-Himalaya.
In the Autumn of 1849 he was joined by Dr. Campbell, the political resident at Darjceling. Ti'^eiher they crossed the jealously-guarded frontier of Tibet, remaining two days on the forbidden grounds north of the snowy range. On their return into Sikkim, the natives of that country, with the short-sighted policy of semi-civilized people, seized and threw them into prison, thinking thus to extort a more favourable treaty from Dr. Campbell. For six weeks they were detained ; after which their return to Darjeeling was connived at. the natives being dismayed at the intelligence that an English force was advancing to their rescue. In the course of this journey Dr. Hooker surveyed the territory of Sikkim, from the plains of India to the frontier of Tibet, and from Bhotnn in the east to Nepal in the west, This map IH published by the Trigonometrical Survey of India.
On his return to England in 1851 he published a narrative of his expe- dition, under the title of Himalayan Journals, or Notes of a Naturalist in Bengal, the Sikkim and Nepal Himalaya, the Khasia Mountains, &•£.
In 1856 the botanical establishment at Kew, with its museums, herbarium, and library, had so largely increased, that an appointment was created for him under his father as Assistant-Director. He became a Vice-President of the Royal and Linncan Societies, and it is in the Transactions of these Societies, especially the latter, that his principal botanical papers have been published, His most important work is a new Genera Plantarum, written in conjunction with Mr. Bent ham, on the plan of Endlicher's famous work, of which the first Part appeared in 1862. He was also one of the authors engaged In the preparation of a valuable series of the Floras of the British Colonies, now publishing under the authority of the GoTCTMnenfc He has also published The Student's Flora of the British Islands, the most scientific account of British plants which has hitherto appeared. He is M.D. of Glasgow, C.B., D.C.L. Oxford, LL.D, Cambridge and Glasgow, Correspondent of the Institute of France, and Member and Correspondent of all the scientific acadamies on the Continent and in America. He was elected President of the Royal Society in 1872, and in this capacity took the chair at the Norwich meeting; and in 1877 finally appointed a Knight of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India.

At an early age he showed signs of the ability which distinguished him in later years. When but eight years old, he translated the Battle of the Frogs and Mice, attributed to Homer, from Latin into French ; and before he had attained his twentieth year he had contributed many articles to the minor periodicals of the day, and, not many years later, he became a regular contributor to the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews. Being one of the Municipal Corporation Commissioners, he was knighted in 1831, and received the order of the White Horse of Hanover, in acknowledgment of his contributions to constitutional and parliamentary history. About that time he suggested to Lord Spencer a scheme for collecting the public muniments, which were scattered in many different repositories, under one management. This was effected by his energy, and in 1838 he was appointed Deputy Keeper of the Public Records, which were, by his exertions, systematically arranged and placed in the well-planned repository in the Rolls Court, Chancery Lane, where they were rendered as secure as possible, and can be easily inspected.
The historical works which gained him an European reputation were The Rise and Progress of the English Commonwealth, published in 1832; an historical story called The Merchant and Friar, published in 1837 ; and The History of Normandy and England, published in 1851, which he was unhappily prevented by failing health from completing on his original plan.
He died at Hampstead 8th July, 1861, aged 72.
On his marriage with Elizabeth, second daughter of Dawson Turner, Esq., he, with the assent of William Palgrave, Esq., the then head of the family, assumed by Royal license the name of Palgrave, and obtained from the Herald's College the following coat of arms : Per pale as. and gu. a lion rampant arg., on a canton or an escarbuncle of the second ; and for the crest, on a wreath of the colours between two branches of palms ppr. a leopard's head affronte'e erased arg., charged on the neck with an escarbuncle sa. t with the motto " Laudans invocabo Dominum."

Whereas Thomas Palgrave of Bryn-y-gynog in the Parish of Lansaintffraid in the County of Denbigh, Esquire, in the Commission of the Peace for the said County, eldest surviving son of William Palgrave, formerly Collector of Revenue and Customs of the Ports of Great Yarmouth and afterwards of Dublin, deceased, hath represented unto The Most Noble Henry, Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal, and Hereditary Marshal of England, that the Pedigree of his Family has been duly recorded in the College of Arms, and by which it is shewn that he is the seventh in descent from William Palgrave of Pulham St. Mary Magdalen in the County of Norfolk, whose elder Brother, Thomas Palgrave, died on the Sixth day of March One thousand six hundred and thirty-eight, and to whose memory a monument still exists in the Church of St Mary Magdalen, Pulham, having thereon the Arms of the Family of Palgrave, namely, a Lion rampant, and a Crescent for difference.

The variations in the Palgrave arms referred to in the note, page 5, and the many ajmorial illustrations with which the monuments at Northwood Barningham are embellished, seem to require special notice and explana- tion ; and the more so as some of these armorials, as will be presently shown, are either entirely erroneous or at least irreconcileable with the known descents and alliances of the family.
As to the Palgrave lion, it has already been, and is here again suggested, that it was the bearing of Hetherset, and adopted by the Palgraves on the marriage with the heiress. In the Visitation of Norfolk in 1563 (College of Arms, G 1, 79 b ) the pedigree, entered by Clement Palgrave, has for arms, Dexter, quarterly, 1 and 4, Azure, a lion rampant gardant or, for Palgrave; 2 and 3, Gules, a maunche ermine, obviously for Hetherset, to which name I find this coat assigned in the books, as well as to that of Berningham (see ante, p. 4). Thus it would appear that the Palgraves adopted at that time a quarterly coat, as from the Hethersets. The impalement (sinister) is Reade. It may here be mentioned that in two collections of Norfolk arms (College of Arms, 2 G 13, 6j h y and H 16, 63) this quarterly coat, impaling Reade, is in error entered as that of John Palgrave.
In the Norfolk Visitation of 161 3 (College of Arms, C 15, 27 b ) Robert Palgrave of Thuxton (see ante, p. 30) entered his pedigree. The quarterly coat is allowed to him, with a crescent for difference, but the lion is argent, not or, and he impales Pigeon.
In a collection of Yorkshire arms (College of Arms, D 9, 42** and 43) Palgrave is entered alone and impaled with Pennington (see the marriage, ante, p. 17), and in these instances we have the variation of the lion {argent) being rampant and not gardant.
So far the Heralds. We will now see how the Palgraves by degrees piled up arms for themselves. The brass to Henry Palgrave, who died 11 Oct.
1 90 APPENDIX.
15 16, has four shields — 1, Palgrave, the lion rampant and gardant ; 2, Pal- grave impaling Glemham (wife of Henry) ; 3, Palgrave impaling (device defaced, but probably Yelverton, Henry's mother) ; and 4, Glemham im- paling Brandon (Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Brandon, and mother of the wife of Henry Palgrave.)
By 1611, when John Palgrave died and a monument was raised, they had, in imitation of the elaborate armorial display of that age, by hook or by crook, accumulated nine quarterings, which, in a shield, surmounted the monument, and (though making allowances for original mistakes in the representation or marshalling of the coats, and for subsequent wrong colour- ing) it is impossible to read these quarters from any light of the pedigree. John Palgrave had a right to quarter Hetherset, Bemingham, Sturmer, Yelverton, and Glemham, with any other arms those may have " brought in," but instead of this we have an impossible shield, — 1 and 9, Azure, a lion rampant (not gardant) and argent for Palgrave; 2, Azure, a lion ram- pant gardant or, query for Hethersett; 3, Gules, a maunche ermine, query for Berningham; 4, Gules, a chevron argent between three plates, which coat is entered to the name of Stormyn, and may be meant for Sturmer; or, if wrongly coloured, for Glemham, whose arms were Or, a chevron gules between three torteaux ; ^ Ermine^ a chief indented gules, is on the books to the Sieur de Morteigne and to Hengrave and Brome. Its introduction here cannot be accounted for. The same observation applies to 6, Argent, a fess between two chevrons sable, which is given to the name Honington; 7, Sable, two chevronels or, does not appear to be a known coat ; 8, Per pale dancette'e argent and sable, six wrens, two, two, and two counterchanged, is the coat of Wren, but why here is not known.
The monument of John Palgrave contains eight other shields. The five surrounding the half-circle, on which is the inscription to his memory, are as follows, Palgrave in each case having the argent lion, and rampant only : —
1. Palgrave impaling Saunders (wife of John), Sable, a chevron ermine between three bulls' heads cabossed argent.
2. Palgrave impaling Willoughby (wife of Sir Austin), Or, two bars gules charged (two and one) with three maunches ermine,
3. Ridlesden, Argent y a chevron between three cross crosslets fitche'e sable, impaling Palgrave. (Elizabeth, daughter of John).
4. Jermy, Argent, a lion rampant gardant gules, impaling Palgrave. (Jane, daughter of John).
5. Dexter, a blank; sinister, Palgrave. (Intended for Margaret, daughter of John, shortly afterwards married to John Pope, LL.D.)
THE PALGRAVE FAMILY. 191
The three other shields on the base are : — 1, Palgravc impaling Glemham (wrongly coloured) ; 2, Palgrave impaling Yelverton, Argent, three lions rampant and a chief gules ; and 3, Palgrave impaling Argent, a chevron azure between three squirrels sejant ppr. ; a coat assigned to Holt, but the presence of which here is unaccountable.
The next in chronological order of the monuments is that to Margaret Pope, the daughter of John Palgrave, who died in 1621. Here again we have another heraldic puzzle. The monument is surmounted of a shield with six quarters in the dexter (presumably belonging to Pope, but into which it is not necessary to enter), and twelve in the sinister for his wife Margaret She thus added four to her father's shield, viz., Argent \ on a bend sable three mullets of the field ; a coat which appears elsewhere on the monument, and is only found to the name of Entwistle, 2, Sadie, a chevron between three cross crosslets argent; which cannot be accounted for, except it is a mis-coloured representation of Ridlesden. 3, Sable, a fess between two chevrons or; which is assigned to the name of Gerbridge. And 4, Sable, a cross engrailed or; which is the coat of Ufford, but may " have been intended for Willoughby. It should be observed that the colour- ing of the sixth quarter in this achievement, Azure, a fess between two chevrons argent, differs from that on the shield of John Palgrave before described.
The six other shields on this monument are as follows : —
1. Palgrave (lion not gardant) impaling Saunders.
2. Palgrave impaling the three mullets on the bend, as in the shield above.
3. Pofie, Or, three chevronels gules, on a canton of the last a mullet of the field.
4. Palgrave.
5. Palgrave impaling Azure, a bend within a bordure engrailed argent; a coat borne by no family connected with the Palgraves.
And 6. Glemham impaling Brandon.
In 1639 Sir Austin Palgrave died, and a monument was raised to him, which is surmounted by an achievement of thirteen quartcrings ; the twelve as on the monument of his sister Margaret Pope, and an extra one (the second, and immediately following Palgrave), viz., Gules, a bend between three escallops or; arms which, entered to IVignall or IVigenall, would seem, like many others, to be introduced without any ground or pretence whatever.
Of the six minor shields on this monument we find— 1, Palgrave alone. 2, Palgrave impaling a chevron between three roundels, intended for

Sturmer or Glemham. 3, Palgrave impaling the three mullets on the bend above named. 4, Palgrave impaling Yelverton. 5, Palgrave impaling Saunders, And 6, Palgrave impaling Willoughby (the three maunches on the two bars).
Sir John Palgrave, first baronet, who doubtless authorized this monument to his father's memory, entered his pedigree at the Visitation in 1664 (College of Arms, D 20, 170). The official return of the arms allowed at this Visi- tation are entered in a separate volume (College of Arms, D 2i # , 11), and here, to the credit of the Heralds, the simple coat of Palgrave only (and as u Azure, a lion rampant argent") is entered for Sir John ; but at the foot of the pedigree a "tricking" is added of the thirteen quarters on the then recently-erected monument to Sir Austin, but without names or other usual indications of official recognition. They may have purposed identifying them on their return to their records, but they remain to this day, and will probably always remain, an assemblage of fanciful heraldry.
It should be stated, however, that in an exemplification of the twelve quarterings of the Pastons (College of Arms, Philp 34, ioo, b ), the following, as named and numbered, occur : —
7. Ermine, a chief indented gules, H engrave.
8. Argent, a fess between three crescents gules, Watsam (not borne by Palgrave.)
9. Azure, a lion rampant gardant or, Hetherset; and,
10. Sable, a fess between two chevrons or, Gerbridge*
Other variations in the Palgrave arms should be noted. John Pagrave of Coleford, co. Somerset, bore, Azure, a lion statant argent; and for crest, A rhinoceros or (College of Arms, Misc. Gts. 1, 117, and 4, 138).
Gules, a lion rampant gardant or, collared argent, debruised by a bendlet azure, is entered to Simon Paldegrave (College of Arms, Vin. Ord. 250), and the same coat is found to Polgrave and Poldegrew, corruptions of the name.
The same authority (fo. 226) gives Azure, a lion passant argent to the name of Palegrave. Or, a lion rampant gardant azure, is also entered to the name of Pagrave (College of Arms, E. D. N. Ind.) ; and in the same volume the rhinoceros crest is noted as borne by a Norfolk family of the

name, though it has not appeared in any of the investigations relating to them and comprised in this book.
In 1730 (8th June) Thomas Lubbock, son of Richard Lubbock and Elizabeth his wife, eldest daughter and coheir of Thomas Palgrave (see p. 55), had a grant of arms for Lubbock, which see in extenso, p. 183 ; and his descent from the, Palgraves was commemorated in the crest as follows, A stork rising ppr., reposing the dexter foot on an antique shield charged with the arms of Palgrave, being Azure, a lion rampant gardant argent (College of Arms, Gts. 8, 75 b ).
In 1796, on the entry of the Pedigree of the Northwood Barningham family, consequent on the law-suit referred to on the extinction of the line of the baronets (see p. 13), the arms are given as Azure, a lion rampant gardant or (College of Arms, N 3, 51).
In 1825 (2nd July) the following were exemplified to Sir Francis Palgrave on his taking that name, Per pale azure and gules, a lion rampant argent, on a canton or an escarbuncle of the second. Crest: Between two branches of palm ppr. a leopard's head affronte'e erased argent charged on the neck with an escarbuncle sable (College of Arms, Gts. 35, 217). See the grant in extenso, p. 185.
The only subsequent official dealing with the arms was the grant and confirmation to Mr. Thomas Palgrave, which see in extenso, p. 187.

Note, — The discrepancy in the date of the death of Thomas Palgrave in the Patent and in the Tabular Pedigree arises from the evidence of the monument having been required in establishing the claim to the arms (and on which monument the date is 6th March, 1638), and the evidence of the register (which gives it as 11 th May % 1638) being of course accepted in preference by the examiners of the Pedigree.
These alterations have already appeared in the preceding pages.

Celebrated as a grammarian, is spoken of in most biographical notices as a native of London. Although unable to assign any place to him in the Norfolk Pedigrees, there are circumstances which suggest his connection with the North wood Barningham line. He was tutor to Mary Tudor, Dowager of France, and wife of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, to whom the Palgraves were, as has been shown, related through the Glemham marriage. Again, Frances Pennington (ne'e Palgrave) was in the household of the Dowager, who, with her second husband, stayed for three days at Great Yarmouth, and " took great liking for the same, promising that they would procure the King's Majesty himself to come to see it." — Manship the elder, p. 22. A contract for printing one of John Palgrave's works has been edited, from the original in the Record Office, by Mr. FurnivaJl, for the Philosophical Society.
