431


Between 1445 and 1450 Prudde did much work at Eton College, both in the old Chapal and in the Hall (Willis Clark's ' Architec- tural History of Cambridge').

In 1447 we find him working at Green- wich Palace, both inserting new glass and repairing older work (see Hasted's' Kent') ; and in the same year he undertook " to glase all the windows in the New Chappell in Warwick " (the Beauchamp Chapel), which contract was duly carried out (see Dugdale's ' Antiquities of Warwickshire ').

Could any reader give me information concerning other work done by Prudde else- where ? Also any record of his death, or the appointment of his successor as " King's Glazier " ? JOHN D. LE CONTEUB.

He appears, as Col. Mellionere, as one of the three Grooms of the Bedchamber (400J.) to the Duke of Cumber- land in 1741, till 1753 or 1754. He trans- ferred to second lieutenant-colonel 3rd Troop of Horse Guards, Jan. 13, 1741, till it was reduced, Dec. 25, 1746 ; was wounded at Dettingeri, 1743, and Fontenoy, 1745 ; and was second lieutenant-colonel 1st Troop thereof, April 15, 1748, and first ditto, July 12, 1749 to Aug. 21, 1754.

Charles Hamilton made captain therein, August, 1743.

Robert Walkinshaw bore an unu.sual name, and it is not too far-fetched to con- jecture that he was the son of Robert Walkinshaw, who was made major of the 25th Foot, July 17, 1717.

Query if Samuel Gowland was of kin to Ralph Gowland, M.P. Durham, 1761 to 1762, whose parentage I should be glad to find ? John Gowland was appointed in 1761 one of the two Apothecaries to the King's Person, with a salary of 3201. 5s.
