NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. vii. MAY 17, 1913.

quartered by Earl Howe. The motto on the scroll " By the name of Howe " of course gives the clue to the landlord's name. Did any branch of the Howe family bear a wyvern for its crest ? Lord Howe has two crests, but neither of them is a wyvern, one being five ostrich feathers out of a ducal coronet, for Howe, and the other a popinjay, for Curzon.

JARMAN FAMILY (11 S. vii. 309). A branch of this family hails from Clipston, Northamptonshire. One Thomas Jarman became famous some sixty or more years ago as a composer of sacred music. He published an enormous number of tunes and anthems, many of which are still in use. My father was intimate with Jarman, and some years ago compiled a bibliography of his works. In 1891 he also caused to be erected over his grave at Clipston a suitable memorial in place of the original stone, which had then become decayed. This memorial contains the following inscription :

Sacred

to the Memory of

Thomas Jar man,

the Northamptornshire Composer of

Sacred Music,

born at Clipston December 21, 1776,

and died there February 19, 1861.

In admiration of his genius, a few

friends caused this stone to be

erected over his grave

in the year 1891.

Sweet son of song ! though lowly was thy lot Thy honoured memory ne'er shall be forgot.

Also

Sarah, his wife,

who died March 20, 1862,

aged 85 years.

I shall be glad to furnish further par- ticulars, if desired. JOHN T. PAGE, Long Itchington, Warwickshire.

ST. MARY'S, SCARBOROUGH (US. vii. 348). The Church of Scarborough, with its dependent chapels, was given to the house of Citeaux by Richard I. in 1197-8, for the souls of King Henry II., his father, and of others. The charter is printed in full in Henriquez, 'Menologium Cistertiense,' Antw., 16 (date ploughed off in my copy), p. 255. J. T. F.

Durham.

In Prof. Bonney's ' Cathedrals, Abbeys, and Churches,' 1891, there is an article by W. S. Cameron, in which the writer says :

"In a deed referring to this church executed in the 13th of Edward I. it is found that a grant of this, and all other chapels within the limit of the town, including the Church of St. Mary, was confirmed to

the Cistercians. Of the exact date of the founda- tion of the church there is no trace, but mention of it is found as far back as 1189."

In Hinderwell's ' Scarborough,' 1798, p. 82, there is this further note :

" The Cistercians, on their first establishment at Scarborough, which was prior to the reign of John, had only a solitary cell for the use of their com- munity ; but through the liberal indulgence of Henry III., who granted them a site for an Abbey, they were enabled to build a spacious edifice. The Church of St. Mary and of all other chapels, as- well within the walls of the t9wri as without, were confirmed to the Cistercians in the year 1285, 13th Edward I., and all right of the Crown in the Rectory was then given up."

He refers to Speed, Dugdale, and Burton as his authorities. WM. NORMAN,

Tanner in his c Notitia Monastica ' says : "The Church of St. Mary and some lands being given to the Abbat and Convent of Cistertium in France, some monks from that house and order were sent over, and had a cell here before the fourth year of King John. Upon the suppression, of the alien priories this was given to Bridlington Monastery, 1 Edward IV."

The latter was a priory of Black Canons dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

An excellent account of this church may be read in ' The History of Scarborough,' by Joseph Brogden Baker, 1882, pp. 139-82.
