A small woodcut has been met with, showing the Moot Hall, Stocks and Market Cross. A few years ago, some of the " Newcastle " stones were unearthed on the site of the building, and some pieces of the old " Crosse " form part of a rockery in a garden near the old " Markett Stead " or I am mistaken. pd Mr John Bace the Chiefe Constable for the Marshalcies and mayned soldiers for half a year due March 25th 1639 00 13 00 pd Tho : Boone for doeinge busines for the Towne for the tyme before the Towne Clerke w'as chosen 03 00 00 Paid George Dawson for stones that he brought from Newcastle to pave the Crosse 120 .. .. .. . . 03 13 00 More to him for freight for bringinge them 01 07 00 To James Birch for caryinge of his brother- inlawe out of towne t<yBli thorough 00 02 00 Paid to a Messenger that came from Nor- wich that brought writings from Mr Peart, proctor there out of the Arches the some of . . . . . . 01 16 04 Geven the messenger for his chargs paines and for servinge citacons . . . . 01 00 00 Paid John Beale for pavinge the Crosse with stones and for settinge stones about the Market stead for fowre daies worke for himself and thre servants at 4s 4d the day together 00 17 04 for 7 loads of lyme a load of sand and for doeinge some worke about the roofe of the Crosse 00 06 08 Paid to Belt the Smith for yron worke for a newe beere . . . . . . 00 06 00 pd Mr Squier Bence money that he laid out for Armes viz : for Mr Beemond for a partezan staffe and trimynge 01 06 00 More for a Rapier . . . . 01 00 00 More for a belt .. .. 00 14 00 More for Tho : Boone a Rapier 00 16 00 for a belt .. .. .. 00 14 00 for a fether . . . . . . 00 06 00 To Payne that he paid for cloathes for the woman that lave in the howse . . 00 06 00 to a woman for washinge the woman 00 01 06 pd for takinge doWne the cradle and rope of the beakon and carryinge it to the storehouse . . . . . . . . 00 00 06 Paid Thomas Payne for keepinge of a poore woman that was brought to Towne by passe called Ann Vincent for 7 weeks at 15d the weeke . . . . . . 00 08 09 16 RECEIPTS. 40 It is difficult to understand why the " ould woman that came from Newcastle " was buried in the church. I have searched the lists of inscriptions on brasses and stones in the church and fail to find any mention of a burial in 1639 or 1640. Did the " ould " lady (for she must be of " quality " to be buried in the church) come from New- i castle with the stones, and was the journey | too much for her ? Some of Mr. John Bedingfield's " opinions," still exist ; his annual fee is certainly not excessive. The Cheney Bequest is annually dis- tributed.
