family encountered a representative of the fraternity on this bridge, then only about a yard wide, and very probably guarded, at best, by a wooden railing. The layman flung the clerk headlong into the deep pool, from which he would have some difficulty in extricating himself; but I fear he would not succeed so well in the consequent legal proceedings with his powerful adversaries.

Henry VIII., though perhaps he might be influenced by selfish motives, did but follow the general current opinion in heading, as he did so successfully, the Reformation. The general suppression of the monasteries is specially interesting to us as connected with this Abbey. Henry VIII. previous, and, as it resulted, preparatory to that event, appointed three visitors, Doctors Legh, Layton, and Ap. Rice, ecclesiastical lawyers in holy orders, be it remembered, and, in spite of all said to the contrary, there is good reason to believe honest men. Legh was the visitor of the northern district. The site of this Abbey and some of the lands of the old foundation were granted to him. His widow married Sir Thomas Chaloner, who subsequently purchased the site and a portion of the lands of the Priory of St. Bees. Legh had an only daughter, who was provided for, ultimately, by the lands of Nostell Priory in Yorkshire; and Calder passed to Thomas Legh, Dr. Legh's nephew, whose son Ferdinando sold it to Sir Richard Hutton, the just judge who decided against the legality of ship money. He exchanged it with a Kighley for Goldsborough; the latter subsequently sold it to Sir Richard Fletcher of Hutton; and the county histories will tell you how it passed to its present venerable and respected owners.

The Curwens of Workington Hall and Kindred Families.

Reprinted from the Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archæological Society, Part I., Vol. V., p. 181; Part II., Ibid. p. 311.

PART I.

CANT justice has hitherto been accorded by the genealogists to the Curwen family, and it is hoped that the following account, imperfect though it may be, will show more clearly than any former attempt the antiquity of a family which, in this respect, can be equalled by few and surpassed by none. I have not sought specially at the Record Offices for information, but, so far as I am aware, I have exhausted all other accessible sources. I am greatly indebted to Henry Fraser Curwen, Esq., for allowing me access to all the documentary evidences in his possession, and to other members of the family for their assistance; and it is my pleasure now, as it has been on former occasions, to acknowledge the kindness of many clergymen who have allowed me to inspect without stint their respective parish registers; and though I regret to say the result of a search among the muniments of Camerton produced little beyond the conveyances to the family at present, and for one hundred and seventy years, in possession of the property, none the less am I obliged for the privilege accorded.

I have adopted, as the basis of my pedigree, one drawn up in the year 1789 by John Charles Burke, Somerset Herald, and John Atkinson, Rouge Croix. I have derived assistance from
