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.
