 328 NOTES AND QUERIES. [io" s. iv. OCT. 21, im. say whether it is now so called. I learn, however, that a similar structure in the churchyard of Clun, Salop, also bears this name. It is variously written Scallenge, Scallange, and Scallions. I have searched such dictionaries as are accessible to me, but do not find the derivation of the name. I ask your kind assistance. W. PHILLIPS. Canonbury, Shrewsbury. DUCIEMORE.—Although a former query did not obtain a reply of even conjecture, I shall, being still so far away from the British Museum Library, be grateful for the meaning of the place-name Duciemore or Duciemoor. N. H. W. ROBINA CROMWELL.—She married first Dr. Peter French. What children had she besides the daughter who married Archbishop Til- lotson ? She married secondly Dr. Josiah Wilkins, Bishop of Chester. What children had they 1 (Mrs.) E. E. COPE. 13, Hyde Park Mansions, W. CIVIL WAR EARTHWORKS.—I am desirous of obtaining a list of the existing remains of entrenchments thrown up by either side during the progress of the Civil War in the seventeenth century. I have notes of several examples, but my list is probably far from complete, and I shall be glad to be favoured with notes of such remains in any part of the country. I. CHALKLEY GOULD. Loughton. CAMPION FAMILY. — Can you, or any of your readers, tell me whether there has ever been published a genealogy of the Campion family of England 1 If so, by whom was it written, and where could a copy be pur- chased 1 If not, could you tell me of any member of the family who is interested in the family genealogy '. H. CLIFFORD CAMPION, Jun. 4235, Regent Street, Philadelphia, Pa. EVANS : SYMONDS : BERING : GARDEN.—I have come into possession of a number of English MSS., among which are a few letters from persons whose names I cannot find in any biographical dictionary. Can any of the readers of 'N. <fe Q.' help me in this matter? I am anxious to know something about the following persons:— Edward Evans.—His name is signed to a letter addressed to William Upcott, the antiquary. The letter is not dated, but appears to have been written from London. Thomas Symonds.—His name is signed to a number of letters of a most interesting character, addressed to William Upcott. He appears to have been upon the most friendly terms with the antiquary. The date of most of the letters is 1835. S. Hering.—This man's name is signed to a letter addressed to his nephew, and is dated from Paris, 17 June, 1831. It would appear from the letter that the nephew, whose name was J. Hering, was the author of a book about Egypt; but I cannot find a descrip- tion of any such book in a work on English literature. The nephew was at the time living at 9, Newman Street, London. Thomas Garden (or Gordon ?).—Mr. Gar- den's name is appended to a letter addressed to William Upcott. I understand from the letter that its writer had collected a library composed almost entirely of books on angling, and thaAie was about to sell the collection at auction. The letter is without date. FREDERIC ROWLAND MARVQJ. 537, Western Av., Albany, New York. LAMB'S GRANDMOTHER.—Canon Ainger, in his lecture ' How I traced Charles Lamb in Hertfordshire,' republished in The Comhitt Magazine for May, 1904, stated that the gravestone marking the spot where Lamb's grandmother lies buried bore, when be visited it in 1881, a " plain and brief inscrip- tion, ' Mary Field,' with the date of death, August 5, 1792, being just decipherable through the stains of time." Visiting Wid- ford recently, I found that the inscription states that Mrs. Field died 31 July, 1792. There are carved, in addition, these lines from Lamb's poem of ' The Graudame':— On the green hill top Hard by the house of prayer, a modest roof And not distinguished from its neighbour-bain Save by a slender tapering length of spire. The grandame sleeps.—CHARLES LAMB. Moreover, though the inscription is appa- rently not of very recent workmanship, it is easily legible. Can any reader give the exact date of Mrs. Field's death ? And what enthusiast placed Lamb's lines on the stone t It may be noted that Canon Ainger, in his memoir of Lamb in the "Men of Letters" series, remarked that time and weather h»n effaced even name and date (p. 21). EDWARD M. LAYTON. THE DEVIL AND ST. BOTOLPH.—In • Boston in the Olden Times,' by Roger Quaint, there is a story of St. Botolph which appears to be a traditional legend. It runs, in brief, M follows:— The saint's chapel is supposed to ha^* occupied a site at the south-western corner of the existing parish church. When he »*s strolling near it one evening he found before
