        A NOTE ON THE BRASS TO PHILIP CAREW, 1414, AT BEDDINGTON.
        BY THE LATE J. C. CHALLENOR SMITH, F.S.A.
        COMMUNICATED BY MILL STEPHENSON, F.S.A.
        IN regard to the curious brass of Philip Carew, 1414, at Beddington, some information has now come to light enabling us to identify with certainty the surname of Philip's mother, Mercy. Mr. Stephenson, guided by the heraldry of the brass, suggested that she was of the Delamare family, but her will gives satisfactory evidence that she was of a family of Hayme, as indeed appears also in the pedigree inserted in Lysons' Environs, I, 53. Mercy Carew married again after the death of Nicholas her husband and makes her will-...as Mercy Ormesby. The will was made on Monday, October 25, 1451, by licence first sought and obtained of her husband, Arthur Ormesby, esquire. She is to be buried in the church of the Friars Preachers near Ludgate, London, " juxta sepulturam Stephani Hayme patris mei ibidem. . . . Volo quod funeralia mea hujusmodi fiant honeste cum quinque cereis quolibet careo ponderante septem libras cere et cum sex torchijs quolibet torchio ponderante tresdecim libras cere." ... to Joan Tregos and her daughter Mercy certain jewels of silver and gold ... to the said Mercy Tregos a primer late belonging to the said Stephen my father ... William Fyssher farmer of my manor of Purley (Berks) . . . my manor of Pery in the parish of Harmondesworth, Middx. to be sold . . . my lands in the parish of Holy Trinity, Algate, London."
        The will was proved May 12, 1453, and is registered at fo. 298, b. Kempe (Lambeth). Vol. XXV

        The puzzle of the two Carew impalements remains unsolved. Apparently one of them must represent Carew and Hayme, but I cannot ascertain what the Hayme arms were. The combined Christian and surname Stephen Hayme occurs repeatedly in early Cornish records and I find very little trace of the name Hayme outside Cornwall. A legatee with the distinctly Cornish name (Mercy) Tregoos is mentioned in the will.

        Nicholas Carew's will, ...was technically the testament. It was made on Tuesday, August 26, 1432; whilst the will, dealing with the real estate, was executed on September 3 following -the day preceding that of the testator's death. In the transcript of the testament there is a provision for the soul of "Stephen Hayne" but unfortunately the father of the former wife is not named.

        As appears from his will, Arthur Ormsby, the second husband of Mercy Carew, was possessed of substantial property in Southwark and there is an allusion to him, as of that borough, in the patent rolls 1434.
