us.vii.Feb. 1,1913.] NOTES AND QUERIES. OM the period of the Guild of the Holy Cross [of Stratford-on-Avon] there are mentions of persons living here, butit is difficult to make a just distinc- tion between ' Wilmcote,' on the other side of Stratford, and ' Winoote,' as the two names are often spelt in the same way The County his- torians, as usual, tell us little of so small a Manor; but Richard Wincote held it 9 Henry VII., but in the reign of Edward V. George Throgmorton was its lord, and Robert his son followed him." The distinction between " Willicote " and " Wincote " is shown as early as 1305, when " John de Woncote " and " Master Hugh de Wylicote " were witnesses to a deed preserved among the Corporation muniments of Stratford-on-Avon. William Grevile (" the flower of the wool merchants of England "), who died 1 Oct., 1401, and is buried at Chipping Campden, was twice married. His first wife, who died 10 Sept., 1386, was Marion, daughter of .Sir Jolin Thombury. William Grevile settled the Milcote property (referred to in the query on p. 49, ante), on Joan, his second wife, with remainder to his sons, John and Lewis. John held the manor after his mother's death, and was married twice : first to Sibyl, daughter of Sir Robert Corbet; and secondly to Joyce, daughter of Sir William Cokesey. He was succeeded by another Jolin. This John left 501. towards the building of the church at Weston-on-Avon, and married, according to Mr. Bloom. Anne, daughter of Sir William Vampage, and had by her several children, of whom Thomas, Anne, and Margaret are mentioned in his will. His son Thomas took the name of Cokesey. I cannot quite reconcile some of the particulars of the family given by Mr. Bloom with those on p. 20 of ' The History and Antiquities of Chipping Campden,' by P. C. Rushen (1911), and shall be interested to learn the grounds for thinking that Anne Vampage, rather than Joan Wincote. was the wife of John Grevile who died in August, 1480. . A. C. C. ' The Letter H to his Little Brother Vowels ' (11 S. vi. 468).—I think the booklet desired by your correspondent Mrs. C. L. Gilbert-Cooper will be ' Poor Letter H,' published many years ago, perhaps by Groombridge. It was a little square green-paper-backed treatise on the use and abuse of H, and was very good as far as it went. Till recently I had my copy, and, if I can find that it is still with me, I shall be pleased to lend it to your corre- spondent, if she so desires. S. Compston. Rawtenstall. Monuments at Warwick (11 S. vii. 9. 57).—Such a list may be seen in the work attributed to W. Field in the following in- ventory. Fuller particulars of each work quoted may be seen by consulting the pages given of my ' Shakespeare Bibliography,' to be found at the principal New York public libraries :— Brewer (J. N.), Topographical Description of the County of Warwick, 1814, p. 32. Brief Description of the Collegiate Church of St. Mary, Warwick [bv W. Field ?], 1820, p. 32.

On pp. 681-2 and p. 729 will be found a list of 142 other works relating to War- wickshire, some of which would also be helpful. William Jaggard. Mr. Delafield might refer to the valu- able and well-illustrated ' Description of the Beauchamp Chapel at Warwick,' by the Staffordshire antiquary Richard Gough— my copy. " a new edition," is dated 1809—■ and to Stothard's 'Monumental Effigies of Great Britain ' (Hewitt's edition, published in 1876) for the inscriptions in the Beau- champ Chapel. Probably Gough's ' Sepul- chral Monuments of Great Britain ' would also be useful. S. A. Grundy-Newman, F.S.A.Scot. Walsall. William Carter, Artist (11 S. vi. 410; vii. 13.)—I possess an engraving of St. Peter's. Tewin, Herts, taken from the north-east side, which shows the tomb of Lady Anne Grimston at the left-hand corner of the picture. It is dedicated to the Rev. the Master and the Fellows of Jesus College, Cambridge, by their " Obedient Servant J. C. Carter." It was published by Anthony Knight, St. Andrew Street, Hertford, and although not dated, it must be forty years or more since it appeared. J. C. Carter and William Carter may possibly be related to each other. These few particulars may help Mr. T. Cann Hughes to find out more about the latter. L. H. Chambers. Amersham.
