 PALGRAVE. 

[Communicated by Col. W. G. Probert, O.B.E.]

1. Breastplate of Elizabethan period.

2. Helmet (this piece disappeared sixty years ago).

3. Sword (this piece disappeared sixty years ago).

All the above pieces were preserved in the parvise until sixty years ago, when the floor of the parvise was taken away to give space to the porch. At this time the armour was taken away. In 1897 the late Sir Francis G. M. Boileau, Bart., took great interest in the matter, and through his endeavours the breastplate was restored, and it now hangs over the south door, where it was placed by the present rector, the Rev. E. G. Savery.
