Bailey plica terræ. See also Cowel under PITELL alias PIGHTELL; PILTA TERRÆ, and PICLE alias Pightell, Pictellum, in some places called Pingle, all which are synonymous words.

The meaning and etymology of the word Lopp are somewhat doubtful. My first impression was that it might be derived from the O.G. laube, a house, cottage, hut made with the leaves and branches of trees, any covered place (Gloss. Schilt, loubo, hutta) O. D. loove, a pent-house; or from laube (Gloss. Pez. loupa, umbraculum), a wood, from lauben orig. gelauben, gelaubon, from Gr. kaluptein, to cover, veil, hide. In France are several communes, towns, and villages, which would seem to be compounded of laube in the sense of wood. Indeed N. and S. Lopham, near Thetford, Fairlop, in the old forest (Hen-ault), Loppington, anc. Lopinton, and still more so Lopitone, co Salop, and Lopen, co. Somerset possibly had their names from the same root. Lopen is said to be situated in a well wooded country. My next idea was that lopp might come from the old word lope, a leap; from A. S. hlyp, hlip, hleop, found in many local names in England; as in Counterslip, Birdlip, Hindlip "hind's or deer's leap; " but this would hardly bear out the sense. Lopp might also be an abbreviated word. There was an ancient manorial fine called Ourlop (from the D. overloop). It might also be another orthography of loop, which may have formerly denoted a pen or fold for sheep.' In the S. of England, loop, according to Bailey, is "a rail of bars joined together like a gate, to be removed in and out at pleasure," and Halliwell gives the provincial word loop, "a gap in the paling of a park made for the convenience of the deer." The word lopp might also mean a certain part of a parish or village lopped off or separated from the rest for the purpose of grazing cattle; or even that part of the forest where the trees have been lopped. The Su-goth lopp, Isl. laup (from lopa, currere) means "the course both of rivers and animals"; laupsland," so much of a field as suffices for the sowing of the measure called a lop or lop; and lopa translates delibrare, decorticare. Cf. the surnames, Dunlop, Haslop, evidently derived from locality. Gray's Inn Square. R. S. CHARNOCK. Lopp. (p 189).-This is clearly the well known contraction for Lordship. EXTRANEUS.

WILLIAM LANGETON, RECTOR OF WELLS, 1376.

Many a book not professedly bearing upon the Eastern Counties, contains notes which may usefully be transferred to these pages."—East Anglian, p. 1.

Following the implied advice of this quotation, I transcribe from a very interesting book, Dr. Oliver's Exeter Cathedral,* some notes relating to a former incumbent of Wells, Norfolk, of whom Blomefield, in his list of Rectors of that Parish (vol. ix. p 285), has the following notice.

"1376 Mr. William Langeton, by Hugh Earl of Stafford, Lord of Tunbridge; he was prebend of Apeldurham, in the church of Boreham, and of Priestcomb in the church of Crediton, benefices belonging to the church of Chichester."

Roberts Exeter, 1861,

In Oliver's Exeter Cathedral, p. 238, it is said :

"In St. Mary Magdalene's chapel is the sepulchral brass of William Langeton, cousin of Bishop Stafford, canon of this cathedral and a well endowed ecclesiastic, who died at Clist on the same day that he made his will, viz. 29th January, 1413-14.

"He is represented kneeling and bareheaded, in an alb and richly embroidered cope, studded with the Stafford knot; with hands joined and supplicating in the words of the response at 'Matins for the Dead',-Domine Jesu secundum actum meum noli me judicare. The inscription below this interesting figure is as follows:

"Hic jacet Magister Willielmus Langeton, consanguineus Magistri Edmundi Stafford, Exoniensis Episcopi, quondam Canonicus hujus Ecclesie, quo obiit xxix die mensis Januarii, Anno Domini Millesimo cccc [tercio decimo cuius anime propicietur omnipotens deus. Amen.] *

"The rest has been despoiled, with the exception of Bishop Stafford's arms-Or, a chevron Gules within a bordure entoyred with Mitres proper."

His will, printed in the Appendix of Illustrative documents, contains inter alia, these bequests.

"Item lego Ecclesie parochiali de Wellys juxta Walsyngham Norvicensis diocesis, unum Missale unum ordinale et unum librum pupilla oculi nuncupatum necnon unum par vestimentorum videlicit pro presbitero, diacono, et subdiacono cum una capa ejusdem secte emendum per executores meos ad valorem decem librarum."

"Item volo quod inter pauperes parochianos Ecclesie mee de Wellys predicte distribuantur 668. 8d. juxta meorum executorem discrecionem."

Will proved 7 Feb., 1413-14, and property sworn not to exceed £211. 118., 63d. We learn from it that he had ceased to be prebend of Apeldurham, but that in addition to that of Priestcombe in the church of Crediton, he was also a prebend or canon of the Collegiate church of Ottery St. Mary, both in the diocese of Exeter.-A.

The "Seven Hills" between Thetford and Bury.-I well remember the Seven Hills between Thetford and Bury, and after those on the west of the Road were levelled, I made every enquiry if any antiquities had been found, but could not learn of any, and the late Mr. Page, of Ampton, who lived so near, also told me he never heard of any being found.-JOSEPH WARREN.

Coat of Arms (p. 189).-Blomefield in his "History of Norwich" (ed. 1741, p. 827), informs us that the arms on the Hall monument in the church of St. George Colegate, Norwich, were " Arg. on a chief indented Gu. a chaplet, 3 Talbots heads erased 4%., 2 and 1." On what authority has J. Simpson attributed to the Hall of Norwich, the arms he gives. I cannot find them in Edmonson under Hall.-A.

Rev. Mr. Shewell, of Lowestoft.-Can any of your readers furnish me with particulars respecting the Rev. Mr. Shewell-his christian name -who is mentioned in John Wilde's will, as occupying certain Fish-yards in the year 1735.—A. C.

the word pe composed of tea. Gai-ias-won, we derive from the combination, "the smaller town on the Gar," or, in modern language, "little Yarmouth"; which he considers a very singular coincidence. Supposing the name to be of British origin, it might be derived from gor llys, "the high court or hall"; but I am disposed to think it much more likely that the first part of the name is derived from some rocks in the vicinity, or from the name of the original owner of the place; and that Gorleston or Garleston simply denotes "the enclosure or town of Gorle or Garle." We still have Garle as a surname. There is Garlie Bank, co. Fife; Garlies, co, Stirling; Garlies town, co. Wigtown, founded by the Earl of Galloway, when Lord of Garlies; Garleton, and Garleton Hills, co. Haddington; Garlinge, near Margate, and the rocks called the Grylls or Garles near Lesneweth, in Cornwall.

THE HARVEY FAMILY OF NORWICH.

There is no name more intimately associated with this old city by every tie domestic or political and for a period extending over so many generations, than that of this wealthy family. There were no honors the citizens had to give, but they gave, and liberality and hospitality was showered in return on every grade. The civic honors have been repeatedly lavished upon them, and always maintained with justice, dignity and splendour. The welfare in every bearing of the citizens, was never more carefully guarded, than when the representation of the city in Parliament was confided to their charge. In the Peninsular war the long and distinguished services of one who has but recently passed away were rewarded with honors and high promotion. The honor of serving the office of High Sheriff of the county has been repeated in the family, but when the extreme dangers of invasion threatened the Country they headed the patriotic effusion of the citizens, to repel the attempts of the most inveterate foe England ever knew.

The attachment to their place of burial is a sufficient proof of filial regard, and as the unusual number of forty bodies now rest in one vault, it may be recorded at least as a rare occurrence. So many monuments to the members of this family are now accumulated in St. Clement's Church, that the consequences to which every effort of man is liable, may blot for ever from the world in one short hour, memorials which are cherished by their descendants, advantageous to the annalist, and important to the city, but which, if once lost can never be recovered. To record their inscriptions in your pages will rescue them from every danger of obliteration and do honor where honor is due.-H. DAVENEY.
