NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. n. NOV. 4, WIG.
Francis Talbot, then Lord Talbot and after-
wards fifth Earl of Shrewsbury, held a com-
mand in the royal army sent against the
rebels in 1536, and thus there is a possible
connexion. See ' The Pilgrimage of Grace,'

In my younger days I made an attempt to identify some of the persons named in the -account of the funeral ot Francis, Earl of Shrewsbury. Shortness of time prevented .my going very fully into the matter. MAJOR LESLIE may, however, find something like an answer to his question in my notes which appeared in the ' Sheffield Miscellany,' pub- lished in 1897. CHARLES DRURY.

WILLIAM OF MALMESBURY ON BIRD LIFE
XN THE FENS (12 S. ii. 189,253). Fuller, in
repeating the legendary number, makes a
characteristic comment on it :
" Lincolnshire may be termed the Aviary of England, for the Wild-foule therein ; remarkable for their,
" 1. Plenty ; so that sometimes, in the month of August, three thousand Mallards, with Birds of "that kind, have been caught at one draught, so large and strong their nets ; and the like must be the Reader's belief." ' The Worthies of England,' ed. 1811, vol. ii. p. 2.

ARMS CUT ON GLASS PUNCH-BOWL (12 S. ii. 268). Apparently the original owner of the punch-bowl must have been William Winde of Bexley, Kent, esquire, Chamber- lain to the Princess Sophia. He died Intestate about the end of 1741 " without any known relation." He was of the Norfolk stock, and was son of Capt. William Winde, the noted architect, by Magdalen, daughter of Sir James Bridgeman. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of George Stawell of Cotherston, Somerset, -esquire, and widow of Sir Robert Austen of Bexley, Baronet. See Surrey Archceol.

PORTRAITS IN STAINED GLASS (12 S. ii. 172, 211, 275, 317, 337). In one of the windows of the hall of Manchester College, at Oxford, are portraits of several of the tutors of Warring- ^on Academy, from which well-known but short-lived institution (1757 to 1786) Man- chester College is lineally descended. I cannot give a list of them, but recollect likenesses of John Aikin, D.D., and of Gilbert
Wakefield, B.A., editor of Lucretius. The
others would probably represent Dr. Taylor
of Norwich, Dr. Priestley, and Dr. William
Enfield, who were also at one time or
another tutors of the Academy. B. B.
Kippington Church, near Sevenoaks, con- tains a number of portraits on glass of members of the family of the late Mr. W. J. Thompson, the founder.
I noted in ' N. & Q.' some years ago the interesting modern portrait on glass in a small window in the tower of Cropthorne Church, in Worcestershire, the subject being a former sexton. W. H. QUARRELL.
The following is a list of the portraits in the stained-glass windows of the narthex of All Saints' Church, Clifton, Bristol : Canon Newbolt, Bishop King of Lincoln, Canon Body, Dean Randall, Canon T. T. Carter, Father Benson, S.S.J.E., Dr. Liddon, Pre- bendary Montague Villiers, Archbishop Benson.
I may edd that all these portraits are remarkably good.

There is an authentic portrait of Henry VI. in Provost Hacomblen's Chantry, King's Chapel, Cambridge. A. G. KEALY.
EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ARTIST IN STAINED GLASS (11 S. xii. 379 ; 12 S. i. 174). Stained glass, like manuscripts, does not surrender its secrets at once, and you have sometimes to affirm successive convictions of your own before reaching the truth which you are never certain of finding out.
In a recent examination of the glass in Upper Hardres Church (Kent) I had the pleasure of finding the real name of the eighteenth - century restorer scratched, as usual, with a diamond on a bit of white glass. I read it " L. T. Son," if I do not make any mistake.
As for the Lombardic letters around the thirteenth-century medallion representing the Blessed Virgin between two kneeling figures, the words " Salamoni " and " Philipi" must be the respective names of these. Salamon is the patronymic for well-to-do Jews in mediaeval times ; Philip would be the unknown Christian debtor who was killed and afterwards brought to life again by St. Nicholas, according to the ' Legenda Aurea,' by Jacobus de Voragine.
I quote the following passage from the Caxton edition :
" There was a man that had borrowed of a Jew a sum of money and sware upon the altar of
