Monastery of Sion, Middlesex) was the first who quartered Warren, and transmitted it to his son the 3rd Earl, so this charge appears on his effigy, and not on that of the 1st Earl.

(5) The 1st and the 3rd Earls were K.G.'s, whilst the 2nd was not. The 1st Earl died 1504, and the 3rd 1572, which accounts for the last being the fresher monument.

(6) Margaret Beaufort (No. 3), second wife of the 1st Earl, alone wears a coronet, as she was Countess of Richmond in her own right,2 and mother of King Henry VII.

(7) Horace Walpole states that the effigies of the 1st Earl and both his wives are by John Hales, a pupil of Pietro Torregiano, who executed the monument of Henry VII. in Westminster Abbey.

(8) Dugdale, at the bottom of the drawing, states (a statement repeated in Harleian MSS. and by other authorities) that he was informed that the four images drawn above were brought to Ormskirk Church when Burscough Priory was destroyed, but though he is wrong in including No. 4, the four would be made up by including the Scarisbrick brass shown on plate 3.

1 THE WARREN QUARTER.-Elizabeth Goushill, mother of the 1st Earl of Derby, shared this honour with her maternal aunts and co-heiresses (the Fitz-Alans), who carried it into the families of Howard, Earl of Norfolk, and Neville, Earl of Salisbury, and probably, either survivorship or the danger involved in claiming to share any honours with the all-powerful family of the 1st Earl of Derby's first wife and her brother, Richard Neville," the king-maker," delayed its use as a quarter by the Stanley family.

On very questionable authority the 1st Earl of Derby is stated to have quartered it, but the first really reliable record of its adoption is in a Parliament Roll of 1512, when it was quartered by the 2nd Earl, and the difference in the armorials on these effigies accentuates the latter enrolment.

arch separating the Stanley Chantry and Mortuary at Burscough Priory, on which these effigies (Nos. 1, 2, and 3), probably once lay.

The present arrangement of these effigies is remarkable, as to the 1st Earl is allotted his first wife, whilst his second wife (the mother of King Henry VII.), now poses as the wife of her stepgreat-grandson, the 3rd Earl.

Dugdale's identifications on plate 4 relate (with the exception of the last) to the armorials on plate 3, but he omits Chaderton, Gerard, Chaney, and Banastre (except No. 13, which he attributes to Langton, who afterwards adopted it), and all the Stanley quarterings.

It is worth recording that before the Stanley vault was sealed up I, when a boy, went down into it and noted that the body of James, 7th Earl of Derby, was in one coffin and his head in another, the ends of both fitting each other at a reverse angle of 45°, indicating that at which the neck had been severed when he was executed in 1651.

I began this paper with the expressed intention of describing the heraldry of Ormskirk Church, and identifying its monuments as a practical example of the uses of heraldic study, and I hope it may stimulate others to apply the technicalities of the science to similar purposes.

AN OLD LIVERPOOL CAPTAIN AND

SON

HIS SHIP

By A. H. Arkle

Read 15th December 1906

OME years ago I became the possessor of an old Liverpool punch bowl, which will, I think, serve as a peg on which to hang some interesting reminiscences of early Liverpool.

The bowl is, as you will see, one of the typical Liverpool manufacture—that is, with a crude representation of a very old-fashioned-looking vessel, coloured, on the inside, with an inscription as follows: "Success to the Hero, Capt. Daniel Wilcox, 1780." On the outside are various scenes of a maritime character in Sadler's printing.

The late owner, a gentleman then living, I think, at Waterloo, had had it for some years, and pasted a note on the bottom outside, showing that he had verified for himself the facts, viz. that there really had been a vessel called the Hero, commanded by Captain Wilcox, and that she did sail from Liverpool for Africa in March 1780, the very year of the presentation of the article to the Captain.

I have been able to discover some further particulars both of the ship and her Captain, which may prove somewhat interesting to those-and there must be many such-who like to learn everything they can connected with old Liverpool. First, as regards the ship. I have made inquiries from Lloyd's Registry Office, London,
