 72 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. vn. JULY 24, 1920. and in 1773 became the father of Dr. Thomas Young. Is anything known about the conversion of the Young family to Quaker- ism ? I should also like to obtain a list of the descendants of Thomas and Sarah, and to know whether any living members ol the family are Quakers. Was Rebecca Young who died at Clifton about 1860 a member of this family, and a Quaker ? A portrait of Dr. Thomas Young from the painting of Sir Thos. Lawrence is in the Victoria Hall, Milverton, but I do not know where the original portrait may be found. E. W. BRUNSKILL. Cark-in-Cartmel, North Lanes. CROYDON PARISH CHURCH : ARCHBISHOP HERRING'S TOMB. In 1867, when Croydon Parish Church was partly burnt down, the tombs of the three Archbishops of Canter- bury were almost wholly destroyed. That of Archbishop Whitgift, who played so important a part in the history oi Croydon, has been replaced by a very handsome reproduction of the old memorial. The second Archbishop's tomb has been par- tially restored. In the place of the third that of Archbishop Herring there is simply a brass plate indicating its former position. Can any one tell me if there exists any engraving or other picture of Archbishop Herring's monumental tomb, either with the other two Archbishops' tombs, or singly or a copy of the inscription that was upon it ? H. T. G. SOURCE OF ANECDOTE WANTED. It is said that at the utterance of the famous line in Terence (' Heaut. Tiin.' i. i 25) Homo sum ; human! nihil a me alienum puto, when the play was first acted, the whole of the audience rose to their feet. The autho- rity given is St. Augustine, but the state- ment does not seem to be in St. Augustine's works. (Cf. The Spectator, No. 502). G. H. J. WORDS OP SONG WANTED. Could any reader give me the words of a song called ' We're just plain folks,' the first verse of which begins To a mansion in the city Came a couple old and grey. I once heard it sung in a country inn. A. GARDINER. AUTHOR OF QUOTATION WANTED. Can any reader refer me to the origin of these lines, from a poem wherein a sceptical and cynical priest says to a soldier : So here's to you my brave hussar, My exquisite old soldier. C. MARSH BEADNELL. SNOW : A SHIP'S NAME. How does a- sloop of war in former times obtain this name ? What is its derivation ? Upton. K B * CATHARINE MACAULAY AND ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBBOOK. (12 S. vii. 30.) IN February, 1910 a long note of appeared in ' N. & Q.' s.v. Catharine Ma- caulay see 11 S. i. 101, 142. If W. B. H. will refer to it he will find answers to nearly- all his queries, and more. The statue is in the Town Hall, Warrington.. This Town Hall used to be Bank Hall, the- seat of the Patten, eventually the Wilson- Patten, family. In 1872 it was sold to the corporation by Col. the Right Hon. John Wilson Patten, and became the Town Hall. The statue had come into the possession of" the family in the way described in my note- Instead of removing it, Col. Patten (after- wards Lord Winmarleigh) gave it to the- Corporation. I have some dim memory of being told many years ago that he disliked it, as would be natural considering how greatly his political opinions and his reli- gious beliefs differed from those of Mrs. Macaulay. I have no doubt that the statue was never within the altar -rails of St. Stephen's, though it was on the East side of the church. The sole inscription on the statue itself,. i.e., on the base, was in 1908, "History I. F. Moore Delin* et Sculpt." TO this was added at my suggestion " Catharine Macaulay | Historian | 1731-1791 I Presented to the Corporation | by Colonel the- Right Honourable | John Wilson Patten, M.P., 1872." As to the time and circumstances of the removal of the statue from St. Stephen's I cannot add much to what I wrote (pp. 102 r 103 of the reference) : - " Exactly when or why the statue was removed from the church I have failed to find out I am inclined to think taking into consideration', the dilatory courses of the Joint Vestry [St.. Stephen, Walbrook, and St. Bennet, Sherehog],. and the fact that they did not, apparently^ succeed in getting any answer from Dr. Wilson,- that though the action or threatened action of the Joint Vestry may have been contributory to- the event, anger at the marriage [of Mrs. Macaulay and William Graham] was the final cause which*
