Notes of Brasses formerly existing in Dover Castle, Maidstone and Ashford Churches from the Surrenden Collection. By Herbert L. Smith Esq

in a pedigree of Bargrave's, whom he therefore thinks might have been a third husband.
   There is another pedigree in the College of Arms, in which Malweyn is given as a marriage previous to Athol. Thus although Bering marks the head-dress as Valoignes, throwing in his testimony in favour of that name, we are left to conjecture by which of her reputed husbands she found her place in Ashford. That she died there is specifically stated in the Inquisition. If he be correct, "Malweyn" in the Inquisitions and in our pedigree is a misreading for Valoignes. But the name is so frequently repeated in these Inquisitions as decidedly "Malweyn," that, till further evidence turns up, we must, however reluctantly, infer that in this instance Dering is in error. 
   In concluding this article, the writer trusts that if every difficulty is not cleared away, enough has been said to show the degree of interest attached to Bering's notes and sketches, and the monuments they elucidate.
