NOTES AND QUERIES. [n s. v. MAR. 30, 1012.

history with which I am acquainted is found in Hutchins's ' Dorset,' 1861-73 ed., vol. ii. p. 159. There is given the descent of the Brodrepps of South Mapperton from Richard Brodrepp of Huntspill, near Bridg- water, showing connexions with the Strodes, William Wake, Archbishop of Canterbury, the Mohuns, and others. Furthermore, there is given a valuable account of the Broadrepps' house at South Mapperton :

" In the parlour there were formerly the pictures of Mr. Broadrepp and his lady, co- heiress of the Morgans : on the frame of another picture ' Robert Morgan,' and near the head of the picture ' 1560, set. 51.' "

Details of the building of South Mapper- ton Church by Richard Brodrepp in 1704, and the monuments to the family, as well as extracts from the registers, will be found in vol. ii. pp. 161-3.

Although I do not know of any extended pedigree of the South Mapperton Brodrepps, there is much material in existence for such a work, and the following wills may be found at the references given, portions of them being included in the Rev. F. Brown's ' Somerset Wills.' privately printed, 1889, Fourth Series, pp. 116-18 :
