The total amount of the above debts is £$0 12s. Thomas Paynter witnessed Anne's Will and that of her husband. William, who was the " wryghter " of Anne's, may have been attached to the Church at Harwich or Dover- court, but I do not find his name in Newcourt's Repertorium. In most cases at that period Wills were written by clerics, and there being no standard of orthography, the spelling is often grotesque ; but we have carefully followed it in all
Rcinold and Matthew Marvin 65 cases. Among the debtors, Peter Leger is called " meser," ? messor, a provincial word for a "lord's bailiff." Thomas Cooper, the "berebruerof ypswych," is very likely the one of that name mentioned above.* The " Town Marche " was, I presume, the esplanade on the southern border, long a favorite promenade. The " selond beme " (? scale and beam) and "wayghts" in the "shope," given to her son, show that he probably succeeded to his father's business. 11 Robert 3 {John 2 Robert 1 ), was born in 1489 or earlier, probably at Great Belstead, another name for Washbrook according to a local history, or a part of that Parish, f fourteenth century Washbrook had two Churches ; In the one was in a hamlet called Felchurch, which with Hamer Hall in that vicinity, belonged to the Dartford Priory, and was near Sproughton ; as Robert's father was a tenant by copy-hold of the Prioress (see his Will, p. 36 supra), his land must have been in that hamlet. Some ruins of the old Church re- mained in the middle of the last century, but when it fell is not known, and its name and that of the locality seem to have been forgotten. This neighborhood, however, is thought to be that once called Great Belstead ; the date of its ab- sorption I have been unable to find. The other Church, as previously stated, is dedicated to St. Mary ; the living, united * See No. 20, pp. 40, 41. The Rev. C. H. Evelyn White, in his "Old Inns and Taverns in Ipswich," has much curious information on the peculiar customs of the brewers there, and the local laws regulating the business in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Bylston (p. 56) where Anne's daughter Barker lived, is now called Bildcs- ton; it is eleven miles north-west of Ipswich. t Kirby, " Suffolk Traveller," p. 69, edition of 1764.
