NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. vm. OCT. 12, 1907.

DIDDLEBURY, SHROPSHIRE : VlCAR AND

RECTOR. I do not think there are many instances where a clergyman is vicar of his parish church and rector of another church in the same parish. But this is the case with the vicar of Diddlebury. The parish church is a vicarage, and the church of Westhope in 1277 was a rectory with resident rector (Bishop Cantiloupe's Reg.). It is now served by the vicar of Diddlebury.

In bygone days there were other churches and chapels in this parish.

The sites of St. George in Sutton, Siefton Chapel, and Dinchope Chapel have not been located.

Of Corfham Chapel there are no remains.

Corf ton or Corveton Chapel is now in ruins.

The Mount is supposed to be the site of an ancient chapel. H. S. D. E.

SIGNS OF OLD LONDON. (See 10 S. vi 45, 424 ; vii. 445.) The following is a complete list of the London signs mentioned in the MS. ' Index Locorum ' to the Chancery Bills and Answers (original series) of James 1. (1603-25) :-

Blue Boar Inn, without Aldgate.

Horn Tavern, Fleet Street.

Golden Lion, afterwards George, Cheap- side, parish of St. Vedast.

Three Cranes, Vintry.

Goat Tavern, West Smithfield.

Rutland Place, Thames Street.

Antelope, Holborn.

Symonds Inn, Chancery Lane.

Saracen's Head Inn.

Bell Inn, West Smithfield.

White Bear Inn, Basinghall Street.

Swan, Bishopsgate.

Mermaid, Fleet Street.

Lily Pot (Messuage).

Swan with Two Necks, Lad Lane.

Three Pigeons, Fleet Street.

King's Head Tavern, Paul's Chain.

Black Spread Eagle, St. Bride, Fleet Street.

This list may be regarded as supplementary to that printed at the first reference. The signs are again given in the order in which they occur in the catalogue, the arrange- ment of which, it should be borne in mind, is not chronological. The second, fourth, and ninth signs are twice referred to, though this does not necessarily mean that two suits arose concerning each during the period covered. Occasionally a " bill " became detached from its " answer," with a result that the two documents were catalogued separately. WILLIAM MCMURRAY.

WE must request correspondents desiring in- formation on family matters of only private interest to affix their names and addresses to their queries, in order that answers may be sent to them direct.

SIR THOMAS WARNER'S TOMBSTONE. On 2 June, 1866 (3 S. ix. 450), a correspondent quoted the inscription on the above me- morial, and asked for particulars of the missing portions. We have searched sub- sequent numbers, but have been unable to trace any reply. We are endeavouring to trace the missing words, and have consulted Capt. Laurence- Archer's book on ' Monu- mental Inscriptions of the West Indies,' but find that the copy of the inscription there is likewise incomplete. Also the ' D.N.B.' does not help us at all. Information wilt be welcome. J. D. & SON.

EPITAPH ON BURNE-JONES. Could any reader favour me with the Latin inscription and its English equivalent on the tomb of Burne-Jones at Rottingdean ?

JOHN S. CRONE.

Kensal Lodge, Harrow Road, N. W.

MARSHAL NET. Is there any truth in the idea that he was of Irish-Scotch extrac- tion McNey, Macnay, &c. ? A. C. H.

' THE FAILURES OF CIVILISATION ' : " Mo- NADNOCK." Through the closing of the house 28, Herne Hill, so long associated with the Ruskins, there has come into my posses- sion a book bound in calf, gilt, and lettered on its front The Failures of Civilisation '- containing six articles, the first under the title just named, the others being as follow : ' Forty per Cent., ' The Great Problem Solved,' 'The Best and the Worst Side/ ' What to Do and How to Do It,' and ' Family Club-Life in England.' On the top right-hand corner of the first article " Nov. 1862 " is inscribed, and on the left- hand corner of the last article, in a similar handwriting, " Temple Bar, Oct., 1864," To judge from typographical appearance, all the articles appeared in Temple Bar. There are twelve white-paper ruled pages at the beginning and end of the book, and immediately following the last magazine article a cutting from an American news- paper has been carefully pasted. Possibly the book was a gift by the writer of the articles to Ruskin's father. The title, ' The Failures of Civilisation,' has a Ruskinian
