There were numerous memorials to Elizabeth in London, in- cluding those in St. Mildred's Church, Bread Street ; St. Mary Magdalen, Old Fish Street ; St. Martin Ongar ; St. Michael, Wood Street ; St. Pancras, Soper Lane ; St. Peter, Paul's Wharf; St. Stephen, Coleman Street ; St. Thomas the Apostle ; Bridewell Precinct; St. Olave's, Southwark; All Hallows the Less ; All Hallows the Great ; St. Mary Overy ; St. Mildred's Church, Poultry ; St. Lawrence Jewry ; and St. Mary Staining. There are busts at Nicholson's Wharf and St. Olave's Grammar School, Bermondsey (over doorway of central tower), and at the " Queen's Head," St. John's Lane, Clerkenwell (1595).

Particulars are desired of the statue in Cumnar Church.

James I. On the western facade of Old St. Paul's Cathedral were statues of James and Charles I., removed during the Common- wealth ; they are shown in Hollar's view. In Clothworkers' Hall are statues of James and Charles, richly gilt. Aldersgate had a figure of James in high relief over the centre arch, and another figure of the king in his royal robes on the south side ; another statue was on Aldgate. In the Council Chamber of the Tower is a bust erected in 1608 by Sir William Wade. See also 1 S. i. 43.

Charles I. The statue at Charing Cross has been the subject of many poems, including one by Waller and one in the Harleian MSS. 7315 ; in the London Museum is a medal with a view of the statue.

There are busts of Charles in Barber- Surgeons' Hall, London Museum ; Victoria and Albert Museum (by Le Soeur, signed and dated 1631). In Windsor Castle is a painting of Charles from three points of view, painted for Bernini, the sculptor of the bust destroyed by fire in 1698. (See also 1 S. ii. 54; iii. 260.)

EAST HATLEY, co. CAMBRIDGE, BRASSES. In Transactions of the Monumental Brass Society, vol. iii. p. 28, the above brasses are- fully described, as in Cole's MSS. y although, the knight, the iascription plate, and the- lower sinister shield are now missing.

I have seen the- remains of the brasses, namely, the lady and two shields (sacl to relate they are used for a. standing for the church coalbox), and havfr obtained rubbings. There is little doubt in- my own mind that Cole's supposition i- incorrect. Roger, above, was great-grand- father of Sir Thomas Docwra, Lord Prior
