64 Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries. 65. Dorothy Worth. — (VIII., p.59, par. 62). — In reply to this query, Dorothy Wadham, daughter of Giles Wadham of Barton, Somerset, occurs on the Wadham pedigree as the wife of Humphry Worth. Giles Wadham was uncle of Nicholas Wadham, the founder of Wadham College, and third son of Sir Nicholas Wadham of Merefield, who died 1542. W. R.-U. . Hospital of St. John, Bridgwater. — I should be glad to know where the Chartulary of the Hospital of St. John, Bridgwater, is now? Has any portion of it been published ? The Master and Brethren were patrons of the livings of Davidstowe and Lanteglos by Fowey, Morvvenstowe and Bovey Tracy, and their records may furnish the names of vicars of these places whose institutions are not recorded in the Episcopal Registers of Exeier. J. H. R. . Robert Wenyngton. — The November, 1915, issue of The National Review contains an interesting and instructive article entitled " The Germans in England," in which appears : — " And why is Wenyngton forgotten, that stout man of Devon, who, with an inferior force attacked the Lubeck fleet, and brought it triumphantly into the Solent ? " And on page loi is given an account of this action. Any particulars about this gallant Devonian would be welcomed. S. Grose.

68. West Country Clock and Watch Makers (VIII., p. 204, par, 166). — I have an old Grandfather's Clock with long mahogany case and a silvered face which shows the date of the day of the month and the age of the moon. I know that it is over 70 years old. It has the name of William Pike of Totnes, but no date. Probably he was of the same family as James Pike, a west country man mentioned on page 205. pu f_ i9i~' A. F. Taylor.

69. Captain Thomas Cuttle. — A correspondent has found at the local library, that a Captain Thomas Cuttle, commanding the Admiral's ship Pelican, sailed from Plymouth on Nov. 15, 1577. Can anyone tell me who this Cuttle was? None of the histories of Plymouth mentions him.
