They were the par- ties who, about this time, also erected a tomb for John Shirley, father of George, still remaining in the church of Bredon-on- the-Hill, in the county of Leicester. The neighbourhood of Burton is celebrated for alabaster. At the end of the executorship accounts is a copy of the indenture between Mr. Shirley and the Royleys for the erection of the tomb. It is worded in a very similar manner to that for John Shirley, before referred to, and which is printed in " Stem- VOL. VIII. . xxxiiii' vi"* mata Shirleiana," p. GO. Here, however, an effigy of a lady was to be also contracted for. This agreement will be found appended to these extracts from the Fermor accounts. (See p. 185.) ■* Freasadowe, Ital. frisada, which, ac- cording to Florio, signifies " the stuffc called frizado," probably a finer kind of frize or rugg-cloth. lie gives also, " Frisetia, fine frize, cotton, bayes, or penystonc ; also fine frizado." — Ital. Diet., 1611. Durance was possibly the same tissue which was termed " cloth of lasting."
