' Loss AND GAIN ' : ' FROM OXFORD TO ROME' (11 S. vi. 429). The latter is said on the title-page to be by " A Companion Traveller" (Miss Harris of Windsor).

" The authoress subsequently became a Catholic, and publicly expressed her deep regret for many of the unauthorised statements, or false impres- sions, concerning the Church of Rome in the above work." ' Handbook of Fictitious Names,' by Olphar Hamst, London, 1868, p. 4.

HELLIER GOSSELIN. Errwood Hall, Buxton.

MAIDENS' GARLANDS (11 S. vi. 251, 335, 412). When I last visited'the Church of St. Mary, Beverley, in June, 1889, there was a maiden garland of 1680 suspended in the south aisle of the nave. About the same time I saw another but I speak from memory in this case in Holy Island Church, Northum- berland. R. B R.

South Shields.

GREAT GLEMHAM, SUFFOLK (11 S. vi. 369, 457). I may add that brief, but valuable and suggestive biographies of two members of the Glemham family viz., Edward Glem- ham of Benhall, Esq., the famous voyager, and Sir Thos. Glemham of Little Glemham, the Royalist are to be found in vol. xxi. of the ' Dictionary of National Biography.' T. W. OSWALD -HICKS.

FULWOOD : HALLEY : PARRY : PYKE (11 S. vi. 303, 415). The manor of Middle- ton-by-Youlgrave was purchased on 5 Oct., 1598, by two brothers, Francis and Thomas Fulwood, but they sold it, in 1621, to their elder brother George.

They were the sons of John Fulwood of Middleton, yeoman. George, the eldest son, was born about 1558. He was knighted in 1606, and was one of those recommended by the Earl of Shrewsbury in 1609 for the office of Sheriff for the county of Derby. This office he filled in 1611. He was twice married, and, dying in 1624, left children bv both wives. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Christopher, who was probably born in London about 1590.

Christopher exerted himself much in the cause of King Charles I., and succeeded in raising a force from the Derbyshi e miners of over 1.100 men. He built an embattled house at Middleton, the ruined foundations ,of which still exist, and are known locally as Middleton Castle, the farm on whose lands they are being called the Castle Farm. His house was attacked by the emissaries of Sir John Gell of Hopton in 1643, at a time when he was unprepared. Christopher Ful- wood managed to escape into Bradford

Dale, just below his house, but was hotly pursued, and shot near a large stone where he was endeavouring to hide. This stone is still shown to the curious. He was mortally wounded, captured, and was being conveyed to Lichfield, but died from his wounds on the way.

He left two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, but they were compelled to leave their Derbyshire home and seek an asylum among friends in London. There they lived for a while in poverty, and died, leaving no trace.

Francis Fulwood, after disposing of Middleton, would appear to have gone into the neighbourhood of Chesterfield, for we find from the registers of that place the following :

1624, Feb. Franciscus Fulwoodde generosua sepult. xiij.

From the Youlgrave registers we get the following :

Burial.

1605/6 [sic], Aug. 20. Anne, da. Geo. Fulwood, gen. Mulier honesta et religiosa.

Baptism?.

1614, Jan. 15. Francis filius d'ni Georgii Fullwoodd, militis.

1611, Jan. 15. George filius Christopher

arm' est primogenitus.

And amongst the list of implements :

One flagon given by Christopher Fullwood, Esq., of Myddleton.

An article on Christopher Fulwood the Royalist was contributed by the late Mr. Thomas Bateman, to The Reliquary, and appears on p. 89 of vol. i.

With regard to the family of Halley, I may state that the name is of frequent occurrence in the registers of Taddington.

The following is a short pedigree which appeared in The Reliquary :

William de Hally, temp. Edw. I.

William de Hally, Bailiff of the Peak Forest, 11 Edw. II.

I Robert de Hally, living 5 Edw. III.

Hugo de Hally, 25 Edw. III.

Robert de Hally, 10 Ric. II.

I may conclude with adding that the late Mr. Bateman had a very fine collection of Derbyshire pedigrees in MS., with the arms emblazoned in proper colours, bound in vellum. This was sold at the dispersal of the Bateman heirlooms, and I believe was purchased by the Duke of Devonshire, and is now in the library at Chatsworth.
