 Devon Notes and Queries, 137 loi. Clyst St. Gborgb Flagon. — I enclose a photograph of a flagon exhibited in a loan collection of silver, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It bears the Exeter hall marks, date letter n, 1737, maker's mark indistinct. The arms are evidently those of Osborne, impaling ? It would be interesting to know how this vessel came to be alienated from the church of Clyst St. George ? John H. Buck. Vide Trans, Exeter Diocesan Architectural Society, 2 Ser., Vol. I, pp 93 and 155. The impaled coat is that of Duncombe, Co. Bedford, Bridgett Osborne being of that family.— Eds. 102. Rbynbll of Parker's Well. — Among the allega- tions for Marriage Licenses in the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, is this one, *^ Cupper, Richard, of Axbridge, co. Somerset, bachelor, 29, and Mistress Elizabeth Reynells, of Parker's Well, without South Exon, co. Devon, spinster, 24, at her own disposal. Alleged by George Cupper, of St. Gregory, London, gent., brother of said Richard, at Exeter Cathedral or elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury, 24 July, 1697." 1^^® registers of St. Leonard's parish do not commence until after 1700, therefore any particulars of owner- ship of the Parker's Well property in that parish before 1700 would be very welcome. Jenkins {Hist. Exeter, p. 440) says that Parker's Well was built by Henry Weymouth, Esq., on the site of a smaller house which had been the residence of CoUings. According to family papers Henry Waymouth, of Parker's Well, was related to William Reynell, or Renell (he generally signed without the ** y ") of Topsham Road, Exeter, attorney- at-law, my great-great-grandfather. Mr. Waymouth in- herited considerably from Robert Prudom, Esq., of Exeter, who died April 7th, 1792. The Gentlemen's Magazine describes Mr. Prudom as a well-known character in Exeter, and pos- sessed of considerable property. His will, proved April 14th, 1792 (P.C.C. 234 Fountain), contains several old Exeter names ; an extract may be of interest : — " All my clothes, except such as are of silk and my rufide shirts, to my servant John Gregory. To Elizabeth Coleridge, spinster, who now lives with me, plate, etc., in trust (Cousin Betty, as Mr. P. used to call her, who kept house for him, was a daughter of the Rev. John Coleridge, Vicar of Ottery). To Rev. Samuel Stennett of Muswell Hill, Middlesex, Doctor of Divinity, :C5oo. To Rev. George Coleridge, of Hackney, clerk, Richard Hart and Richard Hart the younger, both of Exeter, druggists,
