With respect to the four Devon religious liouses mentioned, Hartland, Newenham, Plympton and Tavistock, no doubt Dug- dale's 'Monasticon,' Oliver's 'Monasticon ' ^and Tanner's ' Notitia ' have been consulted, together with the authorities cited there. In addition to these references, attention may be called to James Davidson's 'History of Newenham Abbey ' and to J Brooking Howe 'Contributions to a History of the </istercian Houses of Devon. ' According to Notes and Gleanings (Exeter) v. 56, a chartu- lary of Newenham was among the Phillipps MSS., with Mr. Fitzroy Fenwick of Thirles- tane House, near Cheltenham, in 1892. As to the 'Red Book of the Abbot of Newenham,' see Devon N. & Q., iv. 251. As to the Cornish lands of Plympton, it may be worth while to refer to ' Cal. of Patent Rolls,' 1292, p. 496, and 1332, p. 304, wid to 'Letters and Papers,' 1546, March No. 504 (43), and Notes and Gleanings, iv. 26. Inquiry might be made at Mount Edgcumbe for a fifteenth century MS. Rental of Plympton. Other references may be found in the classified Index to the various series of MSS. in the British Museum and to the Charters and Rolls there.

Of any actual cartulary of the Hospita of St. John the Baptist (not St. John of Jerusalem) of Bridgwater, I know nothing. The foundation charter is given in Rotuli Chartarum, vol. i, part 1, p. 204, dated Jan. 17, 1215. Robert de Boy ton obtained licence July 9, 1283 [Cal. Pat. 1281-92, p. 69], to give to the Hospital the church of Lanteglos, and Wm. de Moncketon, June 12-, 1285 [Ibid., p. 176] the church at Moor- winstow. Hitherto I have found no re- ference to these .advowsons among Bridg- water archives/ T. BRUCE DILKS.

ROBERT ROE OF CAMBRIDGE (12 S. vii. 349). In the earlier half of 1830 Edward FitzGerald wrote from Paris to his friend John Allen, then a Cambridge under- graduate :

" If you see Roe (the Engraver, not the Haber- dasher) give him ray remembrance and tell him I often wish for him in the Louvre." JSee vol. i., p. 3, of FitzGerald's 'Letters and Literary Re- mains,' edited by W. Aldis Wright (1889).

C. S. Calverley, who took his first degree in 1856, has, in 'Hie vir, hio esi t * tut- lines :

Bought me tiny boots of Mortlock, And colossal prints of Roe,

referring apparently to the well-known picture-shop on King's Parade. What con- nexion, if any, this had with Robert Roe, the engraver, is unknown to me.

EDWARD BENSLY.

DAME MARGARET GREVILL (12 S. vii. 370) The pedigree and coat of arms of the Grevill family, of Milcote Manor, two miles from Stratford-on-Avon, will be found in the Harleian^Society's publications : Camden & Tetherston, * Visitation of Warwick

shire,' 1877. Roy. Svo. Muridy & Phillimor*, 'Visitation of Worcester

shire,' 1888. Roy. Svo.

This branch of the Grevilles was related to the Earls of Warwick, upon whom several good genealogical works are available. Like Shakespeare, they were also related to the Arden family. See. therefore, Stopes, 'Shakespeare's Family,' 1901. Svo. For a more detailed account of the tragedies which befell this Milcote race, refer to Stopes, 'Shakespeare's Warwickshire Con- temporaries,' 1907. 8vo., pp, 161-172. The omission of these Grevills, and many other notabilities from the 'D.N.B.,' it is hoped will now be remedied by a broader outlook at Oxford, when the necessary revision takes place. W. JAGGARD, Capt.

The wife of Sir Edward Grevill of Milcote* Knt., was a daughter and co-heir of William Willington, of Brakston, in Warwickshire, but her Christian name is not given in the Visitations or Peerages. The arms of Wil- lington are a saltire vair, but if they are placed, as -described by your correspondent, in the fourth quarter of the shield, the arms on the monument must be those of Dame Margaret's son, by whom it was presumably erected.
