    A History of the Borough and Town of Calne.
    Contemporary with the Norbornes were the Brownes, at first of Calne and later of Studley. In 1628 Benedict Browne, apparently then the head of the family, was elected one of the guild stewards of the borough, and between that year and 1660 he served the office five times. On Jan. 3rd, 1658 (O.S.), he and John Mayo, described as a mercer of Calne, as two of the burgesses of Calne, accepted from Edward Bayntun of Bremhill a bond in the penalty of £^QO to ti'uly serve the borough of Calne as a burgess in 190 Calne. Parliament. In this bond Benedict Browne is called a gentleman, showing that at this time the family was one of some position. The name of Benedict Browne also appears fifth in the list of the names of those parishioners of Calne who swore to maintain the covenant.^ On Jan. 5th, 1692, another Benedict Browne, presumably a grandson of the Benedict above mentioned, married Frances Angell, granddaughter of John Angell, called the Caterer, of Crowhurst, Surrey, and a descendant of Roger Angell, a Swiss captain, who took service under Henry VII., and fought with great valour at the battle of Bosworth. John Angell married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Robert Edolphe, and by her had twenty children. Amongst these was Justinian, whose grandson, John Angell, became possessed of great property, which by will he bequeathed to Benedict John Angell Browne of Studley, great-grandson of Benedict Browne and Frances, nee Edolphe. At the time of the testator's death in 1784 his heir was only six years of age, and the wording of the will was so involved that attempts were made by other descendants of John the Caterer to dispossess him. The Chancery suit which these instituted lasted for sixty years, and established a record for Chancery proceedings which is not likely to be soon surpassed. It ended in judgment being given for the defendant, who, however, had been in possession of the property the whole time.

    The Book of Constitutions of the Fraternity of the Mercers. This volume, as appears by a memorandum (in Latin) at the end, was written in August, 1614, by an individual named Benedict Browne. It is, with one or two exceptions, an almost exact copy of that which belonged to the Drapers ; there are several blank spaces at the commencement, evidently intended for some kind of illumination, which was never completed.

    Elizabeth Barnes, widow was buried the 14th day of September, 1576.

    Possibly the daughter of John Matthew of Braddon, Norths who left a will 9th April, 1557 written at the house of John Barnes, mercer of St Mary's Colechurch, London. From the Genealogical memoirs of the extinct family of Chester of Chicheley ..., Volume 1 By Robert Edmond Chester Waters
    John Mathewe of Bradden co. Northampton Esq. ^Vill dated 8tli April 1557. He then lying sick in the dwelling-house of one John Barnes Mercer of London in the Parish of our Ijady of Colechurch, made his noncupativc will as follows : to my three younger sons Thomas Robert and Richard Mathew £W each, my eldest son "William to see them paid and to give to my servants and to the poor of Bradden at his discretion. Administration with the Will annexed granted in C. P. C. I'ith Apiil 1557, to William Mathew son and heir of the deceased. [10 AVrastley.] John Barnes the Mercer, in whose house John Mathew died, was the husband of his daughter Elizabeth Mathew, and lived in Cheapside opposite to Mercers Chapel. Barnes was a notorious Puritan, and when the image of St. Thomas Becket over the gate of the hospital of St. Thomas of Aeon was mutilated in the night of 17th Feb- ruary 1554-5, Barnes was accused of being accessory to the outrage, and was compelled to restore the image at his own charge.

    Mercers' Company, London, Registers of Writings, ii, fol.11-11v: The tithe of the parsonage of Colechurch in London, gathered by Lereriche Forster Clerke AD 1558
    Bartholomew Baron, mercer, obtained a lease from the Mercers' Company of the tenement and seld called the Crown (104/33). 3) In 1529-30, L10 was received from Bartholomew Barnes for the rent of a great tenement, either 142/1 or 2. 4) A Batholomew Barnes, mercer, was tenant of 145/39 and 105/1A from 1539, and in 1540 he gained the lease of 105/1B and 105/2. In or after 1548, Bartholomew Baron (d. 1548) or his son John Baron, citizen and mercer, acquired 105/1B-2. In 1551, John Baron, with his wife Elizabeth, granted and quitclaimed in the tenement with shops etc., representing 2 and probably 1B, lately occupied by his father and now by himself, to Robert Browne, citizen and goldsmith. In 1555, Robert Browne and his wife Margaret granted the same tenement back to John Baron, who still occupied it. John Barnes (probably identical with John Baron) occupied a house in this part of the parish (the last house listed in the tithe assessment) in 1558. Possibly 1B-2 was the messuage and curtilage which Thomas Cranfield and Edward Ockelshawe recovered from William Leonard, mercer, in 1573; Leonard called Bartholomew Barnes, mercer, to warrant. 5) In 1548, Thomas Baron, citizen and mercer, acquired 145/39 and 105/1A. In 1550 Baron recovered a messuage in St. Pancras parish which may have been part of the settlement of 39. 6) In 1595, Edward Baron or Barnes, citizen and mercer, acquired 145/39 by bargain and sale and by a recovery in which Thomas Wade and John Brown recovered on Baron's behalf. In 1623 Baron granted the property to his sister Julian Stile, widow, by means of a fine. 7) Bartholomew Barne, mercer, was in possession at his death in 1548 of the 2 messuages occupying 104/43. Barne's heir was his son, Thomas Barne. 8) In 1585, Bartholomew Barnes, citizen and mercer, was granted 105/8-9A. 9) In a tithe account of 1602, a Mr. Barnes or Barnesh, was a tenant in 105/22B. 10) The Black Bull (11/8A1) was leased to Edward Barnes, citizen and mercer, from 1605, at L10 rent. Barnes assigned his lease to James Elwick, who paid the L10 rent from 1605 to 1607. 11) Richard Barnes succeeded as tenant of 11/8C in 1554; he paid the L6 rent until 1597. No renewals of Barnes' lease are noted and it may have been a very long one, possibly that granted in 1537-8. In his will of 1597, proved 1598, Richard Barne, citizen and mercer, parishioner of All Saints parish, left his messuage and buildings in Westcheap known as the Swan and the Harp, in which he carried on his trade of mercery, to his son Edward and his heirs. Edward Barnes paid the rent from 1597 to 1640. In 1611 he was granted a new lease of 21 years; the term was extended to 24 years in 1613. In 1634 Edward Barnes was granted another 21-year lease of the messuage in Honey Lane from 1637. In 1638 Mr. Barne paid tithe for a house in Honey Lane worth L16 p.a., and Mr. Nicholson paid tithe for a house worth L13 p.a. It is probable that these 2 houses together comprised 8C, which a few years later was known to have been divided. Edward Barnes was succeeded as rent-payer by Mrs. Katharine Barnes, widow, from 1640 to 1643.]
    Foxes Book of Martyrs
    John Barnes Mercer
    Stephen Gardiner accused him of vandalising the statue of Becket which stood over the Mercers' chapel in Cheapside. 1563, p. 1081; 1570, pp. 1705-06; 1576, p. 1456; 1583, p. 1529.
    This account of the repeated iconoclasm against the statue of Becket first appears in the 1563 edition and was reprinted without alteration in all subsequent editions. Foxe was certainly drawing on oral sources for this, very probably John Barnes or a member of his family or household. Foxe presents Barnes's grievances in the matter sympathetically, and in some detail. The repeated attacks on the statue are widely reported in other sources (see Brigden, p. 593).

    Furthermore, this foresaid fourteenth day of February, the lord chancellor, and other his fellow bishops, caused the image of Thomas Becket, that old Romish traitor, to be set up over the Mercer's chapel door in Cheapside in London, in the form and shape of a bishop, with mitre and crosier. Howbeit within two days after his erection, his two blessing fingers were first broken away, and on the next day (being the seventeenth of February) his head also was stricken off. Whereupon arose great trouble, and many were suspected; among whom one Master John Barnes, mercer, dwelling over against the same chapel, was vehemently by the lord chancellor charged withal, as the doer thereof; and the rather, for that he was a professor of the truth. Wherefore he, and three of his servants, were committed to prison; and at his delivery (although it could not be proved upon him) he was bound in a great sum of money as well to build it up again as often as it should be broken down, as also to watch and keep the same. And therefore, at this his compelled charges, the image was again set up the second day of March then next ensuing: but, for lack belike of careful watching, the fourteenth day of the same month in the night, the head of that dangerous beast, over whom there was such charge given, was again the second time broken off: which thing was so heinously taken, that the next day, being the fifteenth day, there was a proclamation made in London, that whosoever would tell who did strike off his head, (though he were of counsel, and not the principal doer,) he should have not only his pardon, but also one hundred crowns of gold, with hearty thanks. But it was not known who did it.

    In response to your Iwardby query below, you may wish to consult the book, Fitznells Cartulary, edited by C.A.F. Meekings and Philip
    Shearman, published in 1968 as Surrey Record Society, Vol. 26. On pages cx-cxxiv of that book is a good account of the Iwardby family.

    According to Meekings and Shearman, Sir John Iwardby, of Fitznells, Surrey (died 1525), married (1st) Katherine Neville (died prior to 1476); (2nd) before 1485 Sanche Carewe, daughter and co-heiress of Nicholas Carew, of Carshalton, Surrey; and (3rd) Jane, daughter of John Agmondesham, of Leatherhead. Sir John Iwardby was the father of one son, John, by his 1st marriage, who died in infancy; and, by his 2nd marriage, he had one daughter, Jane (wife of John St. John and Nicholas Saunder). Jane Iwardby inherited her father's manor at Fitznells. If correctly set forth, Jane (Iwardby) (St. John) Saunder would not possess a Neville descent. However, she would have a valid descent from King Henry II through her paternal grandmother, Margaret Fiennes, wife of Nicholas Carew, Esq., of Beddington, Surrey.
    SANCHIA CAREW. Married, as his 2nd of 3 wives, Sir John
    Iwardby (d. 1525), on whom Carshalton Manor, co. Surrey was settled in 1514. Great Purley, Berkshire was her share of the estate of her brother.

    In 1535 the last abbess of Nunnaminster leased the demesne to her relative Edward Shelley for 40 years from 1554, but, lawfully or otherwise, John Burdon continued to occupy it after that date and it passed to his son-in-law Geoffrey Provender who surrendered it in 1573. (fn. 134) It was then leased to Robert Nicholas (d. 1592) and passed to Edward Nicholas, presumably his grandson (d. 1623), who was succeeded by his son Robert. (fn. 135) The farm was still held by Robert in 1639 when a lease was granted to his kinsman Sir Edward Nicholas (d. 1669), then a clerk to the Privy Council and later Secretary of State to Charles I and Charles II. (fn. 136) Robert Nicholas apparently gave up his interests in the farm to a Mr. Goddard, (fn. 137) from whom it was sequestered in 1648, (fn. 138) but members of the Nicholas family perhaps retained their interests in it until the manor was bought by Sir Edward's son Edward.

    Introduction
    This property, at the E. end of the parish, was bounded to the W. by 11, to the N. and E. by properties in St. Lawrence Jewry parish, and again to the E. by 104/35. In 1459 it was said to have a frontage to Cheapside of 22 ft. 2 in. (6.76 m.), and to extend 167 ft. 7 in. (51.08 m.) N. from the street. (fn. 1)
    On the street frontage the property corresponded to no. 101 and part of no. 102 Cheapside in 1858.

    From: 'All Hallows Honey Lane 11/12', Historical gazetteer of London before the Great Fire: Cheapside; parishes of All Hallows Honey Lane, St Martin Pomary, St Mary le Bow, St Mary Colechurch and St Pancras Soper Lane (1987), pp. 102-104.
    In 1536 the parish let the Bull Head to George Barnes, alderman, for a term of years at £15. rent. The charges for the chantry, amounting to £7. 13s. 10d. p.a. in all, were borne jointly with a property in the parish of St. James Garlickhithe, and the combined annual value of the two after all expenses excluding repairs was £17. 1s. 8d. Barnes appears to have been resident here, probably with John Marre, in 1541; in 1544, however, Barnes, was noted in the subsidy list for this parish, but not assessed because he was charged under Broad Sreet ward. This probably indicates that he was not resident in 12 by that time. George Barnes alias Baron, alderman, acquired 11 in 1544, and in December 1548, with Henry Becher, haberdasher, bought 12, still held by Barnes on lease but now in the occupation of John Marre and Henry Hayes, from the Crown for £224. All the quit-rents were said to be discharged except for the 6s. 8d. payable to Barnes as owner of 11, but the 8s. payable to the owner of 104/35 was still being paid in the 17th century. (fn. 11) For the later history of 12, see under 11/11-12.

    St. Bartholomew's Priory was dissolved in 1539 and 11 was sold in 1544 to George Baron or Barne, citizen and alderman, and George Baron, gentleman, for 15 years' purchase of £18. 2s. 8d., though part of the property included in that valuation had previously been granted rent-free for life to the Dales by the Crown. Sir George Barne, citizen and alderman, died in 1558, having devised 11 to his wife Alice for life, with remainder to his sons George and John; the premises were valued at £41. He had also, with Henry Becher, bought the adjoining tenement (12), a former chantry property, in 1548, but this was not mentioned in his inquisition post mortem, and might therefore have been held by feoffees at his death. (fn. 12)

    From: 'All Hallows Honey Lane 11/11', Historical gazetteer of London before the Great Fire: Cheapside; parishes of All Hallows Honey Lane, St Martin Pomary, St Mary le Bow, St Mary Colechurch and St Pancras Soper Lane (1987), pp. 97-101.

    William Ettys lived in 2 in 1540, when the tenement was viewed to settle a dispute between the rector and churchwardens of St. Christopher, and Bartholomew Barnes, mercer, tenant of 145/39, which with 105/1A now belonged to the church of St. Mary le Bow. The viewers found that the little shop towards the street (1B) measured 8 ft. 1 in. (2.46 m.) E.-W. by 12 ft. 9 in. (3.89 m.) N.-S., and was 9 ft. high (2.74 m.); all above the shop belonged to Barnes. Behind the shop, the tenement (2) measured 42 ft. 2 in. (12.85 m.) N.-S. by 21 ft. 9 in. (6.63 m. E.-W.) at either end, between Barnes' land (145/39) and the lane. The rector, churchwardens, and parishioners then leased the tenement and shop, giving the measurements as before, to Barnes for 99 years at £3 rent. Barnes, who was also about to rebuild 145/39, was to pull down the tenement and rebuild it before Christmas 1542 with oak timbers of the same scantlings, and with as many storeys, as he was bound to rebuild the adjoining tenement. Thereafter he was to repair. William Ettys was to continue to live there after the rebuilding at the same rent or fine that anyone else was prepared to pay. The churchwardens could enter to view and distrain for arrears, and acquitted Barnes of all charges except the rent. Barnes was bound in £100 to perform these convenants. A view taken of 145/39 in 1542, when that had been rebuilt and 105/1A, the part of 105/1 associated with it, was 'now in taking down', gave slightly but not substantially different dimensions (8 ft. 4 in. by 12 ft. by 10 ft.; 2.54 m. by 3.66 m. by 3.05 m.) for 1B, the shop belonging to 105/2. (fn. 4)
    In 1543-4 and 1546-7 the churchwardens of St. Christopher's owed 10s. rent to the Crown, formerly due to Kilburn Priory, for a tenement in the parish of St. Mary Colechurch. This quit-rent was extinguished when the property itself passed to the Crown in 1548. The endowment of John Whatele's chantry was then worth £10. 13s. 4d., less chantry, obit, and quit-rent charges, including £1 to 'Lady Nerford's priest.' The property, probably incorporating 1B as well, was granted in September 1548 to William Gunter and William Hobson, together with 145/39 and 105/1A, and other properties, at 18 years purchase. 105/1B and 2 were valued at £3, according to the lease to Barnes, less £1 quit-rent to Lady Nerforde (sic). Gunter and Hobson, who bought many properties in London at this date and disposed of most of them very rapidly, probably sold 1B-2 to Bartholomew Baron (d. 1548) or his son John Baron, citizen and mercer. In 1551 John Baron, with his wife Elizabeth, granted and quitclaimed in the tenement with shops, cellar(s), solar(s), etc., representing 2 and probably 1B, lately occupied by his father and now by himself, to Robert Browne, citizen and goldsmith. In 1555 Robert Browne and his wife Margaret granted the same tenement back to John Baron, who still occupied it. (fn. 5)
    John Barnes (probably identical with John Baron) occupied a house worth £6. 13s. 4d. p.a. in this part of the parish (the last house listed in the tithe assessment) in 1558. Robert Mathewe occupied this house in 1571. Possibly 1B-2 was the messuage and curtilage in the parish of St. Mary Colechurch which Thomas Cranfield, mercer, and Edward Ockelshawe, haberdasher, recovered from William Leonard, mercer, in 1573; Leonard called Bartholomew Barnes, mercer, to warrant. In 1574 the communicants in Robert Mathewe's household consisted of himself, his wife, and 4 servants. Mr. Draper held the last house in the parish list in 1602, and Edward Draper in 1612 and 1619- 22. Mr. Abel, holding a house valued at £24, is the most probable tenant or occupant in 1638. (fn. 6)

    Histoy of Catholic Since 1534
    Harpsfield, John, D.D., born in Old Fish Street, in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, London, was the grandson of Nicholas Harpsfield, Esq. This gentleman in 1472 was in the custody of Bishop Wayneflete, and detained in the episcopal prison of Wolvesey Castle, having been indicted and convicted of homicide, and subsequently claimed from the king's prison as
    a clerk by the bishop, in accordance with the ecclesiastical laws, as entitled to the benefit of clergy. The offence was committed at Windsor Castle on Aug. 21, 1471, and the bishop's commission for his purgation and delivery from Wolvesey prison is dated Aug. 29, 1472, so that he probably obtained his release before the close of the year.

    John Harpsfield studied his classics with his younger brother Nicholas, at Winchester School. Thence removing to New College, Oxford, he was made a fellow in 1534, and completed his degrees in arts. Afterwards he was appointed chaplain to- Dr. Bonner, Bishop of London, and being inducted into a good benefice in that diocese, resigned his fellowship about I55 x
    In the beginning of Mary's reign, having been created D.D., he was promoted to the archdeaconry of London, about 1554, in the place of John Wymsley. In 1558, shortly before the queen's death, he was made dean of Christ Church, Norwich, the former dean, John Boxall, having other duties to-
    perform.

    When Elizabeth ascended the throne Dr. Harpsfield was obliged to resign his deanery to John Salisbury, suffragan of Thetford, in 1560. He was then committed prisoner to the Fleet, where he remained about a year, when he was discharged upon finding surety that he should not act, speak, or write
    against the established church. The remainder of his life was spent in great retirement and devotion in the house of one of his relations in St. Sepulchre's parish, where he died, Aug. 19, 1578.

    He was buried in the parish church, as appears from the letters of administration taken out by his nearest relative, Anne Worsopp. It was probably at this lady's house that he resided. She was the widow of John Worsopp, gent, and daughter of Richard Baron, Esq., citizen and mercer of London, by his wife, Alice Harpsfield. This Baron's father, Peter, of Saffron Walden, co. Essex, was a serjeant-at-law, and was drowned in the Thames.

    Fox charges Dr. Harpsfield with persecution, but it must be remembered that he was obliged to carry out the measures against the so-called reformers by virtue of his office. There is no record that he exceeded the commands of the Council, or that he infused animosity into their execution.

    Description Will of Oliver Style of Wateringbury, Kent Date 06 June 1622 Catalogue reference PROB 11/139 Dept Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury

    Much of the north wall of the chancel beyond the choir seating is taken up by the Style monument, which was erected by Sir Thomas Style in 1626 in memory of his parents Oliver and Susan Style. Oliver Style was the son-in-law of John Bull. Oliver Style (1542 - 1622) purchased Wateringbury Place and lived there until his death at the age of 80 in 1622. He was the son of Humphrey Style, Charles Stuart’s cupbearer, whose memorial brass remains in Beckenham parish church. The figures on the monument have some of their old colour still left; that of Oliver Style is in a scarlet and ermine robe, Sir Thomas being dressed in armour. An extraordinary figure on this tomb is that of a partly cloaked skeleton with an angel, under an arch and among coloured flowers and cherubs, with the words: “death to me is an advantage; all men must die”, a good enough philosophy for skeletons! A ledger stone in memory of Sir Thomas Style has been moved from the chancel to the floor of the tower, and may be seen on request.

    There is a marriage entry for July 31, 1721 for a John Russell of Playden and Sarah Bowen of Rye.

    In the Rye records there is an entry of marriage on 7th Feb. 1748 for a John Russell and Elizabeth Godfrey. John Russell listed as a seaman.

    Also on 18th April, 1784 an entry for a John Russell(sen), widower and a Sarah Bean. This may account for the recollection of Bourn Russell that his grandparents were John and Sarah Russell of Bexhill?
