NOTES AND QUERIES.

FBEMLAND, ESSEX, AND GUNPOWDER PLOT. In ' A History of the Gunpowder Plot,' by Philip Sidney, p. 212, it says : " Baynham seems to have been sent to Rome
 * as the result of the deliberations of Garnet,

Catesby and Mounteagle, when meeting together at Fremland (Essex) in July, 1605." Where is Fremland, Essex ?

G. H. W.

"XiT": WHO WAS HE? Mr. Austin Knight sketched a statue of him in 1918 at the "Hollands," Langton, near Tunbridge Wells. There is another image similar at Felixstowe ; also, there was a third sold at an auction sale, I believe, in Lewes in 1918. Any information beyond this I should greatly appreciate. W. WILLS CLINTON. 126 Inchmery Road, Catford, S.E.6.

BELL TAVERN, BROAD STREET, BRISTOL. ' Bristol, Past and Present,' says it was built in 1569 by John Willis, the Chamber- lain, and Latimer records that it was accidentally burnt down in 1672. Other particulars would be thankfully received. The exact site is specially desired.

WM. SANIGAR. 205 Avon Vale Road, Barton Hill, Bristol.

J. SHAKESPEAR, Lieut. -Col.

14 Alexandra Court, Maida Vale, W.9.

J. J. KLEINSCHMIDT. I have several engravings by this engraver. Who was he ? They contain in one or two cases some writing in what is apparently old German, and appear to be at least two hundred years old. H. W. B.

"Now THEN ! "What is the earliest known case of these two adverbs being used together in the sense which they now bear ?

H. W. B.

GEORGE SHEPHERD appears to have belonged to a family of artists who did topo- graphical work. There are many water colours of old London buildings executed by him during the earlier years of the nineteenth century (about 1800-30), and they are good records. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd did a vast number of topographical drawings of a similar kind between, say, 1820 and 1855, some of them are in the Grace

Collection, B.M. Were they father and son ? Perhaps some reader of ' N. & Q.' could kindly tell me. Redgrave's 'Dictionary of Artists of the English School ' throws no light on the subject. George's surname is occa- sionally spelt Shepheard. PHILIP NORMAN.

GAVELACRE : PLACE-NAME. Can any of your correspondents kindly help me in the following matter ?

I have some property in Hampshire, on the river Test, part of which (including the house) is called Gavelacre. What is the meaning and origin of this name, which dates back to mediaeval times ? It has of late frequently been transformed into Gravelacre, but this is an obvious corruption. All the old documents spell it Gavelacre, and a large shallow on Bransbury Common, just below my land, is locally called Galacro Shallow.

Could the name have any connexion with the law of Gavelkind which, however, does not prevail in, Hampshire or with " gavel," an old name for an auctioneer's hammer ? . I should be grateful for any suggestion. R. K. HODGSON.

War thill, Aberdeenshire.

DAVID POWELL. (See 10 S. x. 125.) Who was the David Powell, an English priest at Brussels, who was in receipt of 121 florins a year from Philip II. about 1575 ? See ' Messager des Sciences Historiques ' (Gand, 1865), p. 286 note.

JOHN B. WAINE WRIGHT.

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED.

1. Can any one kindly tell me where the words quoted below are to be found? I believe they are by Rossetti, but cannot find them in my edition of his works.

If you were April's lady. And I were Lord in May, We 'd throw for Spring with flow'rs, If you were April's lady, Arid I were Lord in May. Bath. C. LINCOLN.

2. Know'st thou not their language and their ways? ROLAND AUSTIN.

Gloucester Public Library.

3. Thoreau concludes chap. viii. of Walden ( * The Village') with this passage between quotation marks :

" You who govern public affairs, what need have you to employ punishments ? Love virtue, and the people will be virtuous. The virtues of a superior man are like the wind tlie virtues of a common man are like the grass ; the grass, when the wind passes over it, bends."

Can any of your readers tell me the author ?
