James I. On the western facade of Old St. Paul's Cathedral were statues of James and Charles I., removed during the Common- wealth ; they are shown in Hollar's view. In Clothworkers' Hall are statues of James and Charles, richly gilt. Aldersgate had a figure of James in high relief over the centre arch, and another figure of the king in his royal robes on the south side ; another statue was on Aldgate. In the Council Chamber of the Tower is a bust erected in 1608 by Sir William Wade. See also 1 S. i. 43.
Charles I. The statue at Charing Cross has been the subject of many poems, including one by Waller and one in the Harleian MSS. 7315 ; in the London Museum is a medal with a view of the statue. In the first half of the seventeenth century statues of Charles and Henrietta Maria stood in Great Queen Street ; they were removed in 1657. There are busts of Charles in Barber- Surgeons' Hall, London Museum ; Victoria and Albert Museum (by Le Soeur, signed and dated 1631). In Windsor Castle is a painting of Charles from three points of view, painted for Bernini, the sculptor of the bust destroyed by fire in 1698. (See also 1 S. ii. 54; iii. 260.) In 1678 Wren prepared designs for a mausoleum to
Charles, for which Parliament voted 70,OOOL
This memorial was never erected, but the*
designs still exist in All Souls' College^.

EAST HATLEY, co. CAMBRIDGE, BRASSES.
In Transactions of the Monumental Brass
Society, vol. iii. p. 28, the above brasses are-
fully described, as in Cole's MSS. y although,
the knight, the iascription plate, and the-
lower sinister shield are now missing. Cole
attributes these brasses, from the coats
given, to Roger Docwra and his wife*
Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Brockett off
Brockett Hall, co. Herts. I have seen the-
remains of the brasses, namely, the lady and
two shields (sacl to relate they are used for a.
standing for the church coalbox), and havfr
obtained rubbings. There is little doubt in-
my own mind that Cole's supposition i-
incorrect. Roger, above, was great-grand-
father of Sir Thomas Docwra, Lord Prior
