Trifid Speedwell; at Methwold, between the two windmills and the warren lodge; in the gravel pits two miles beyond Barton-mills; on the ridge of a hill where a small cart-way crosses the road to Lynn and elsewhere in the grass thereabouts, also on the sandy fallow fields, half a mile to the east of Icklingham.

THE PRINCIPAL WORKS,

That have been Published in Illustration of the

Topography, Antiquities, &c. of
Suffolk.

BISHOP KENNET, in his Life of Somner, seems to hint that Sir Simonds D'Ewas designed a survey of this county; what progress he made is not known, there being but few pieces on this subject among his collections in the Harleian Library. He mentions his collections for part of Suffolk in his Prolegomena on Domesday, MS. Harl. 623. Bishop Nicolson was disappointed in his search for them, we know not on what authority, among Dodsworth's, at Oxford. Sir Simonds is buried in Stow-Langtoft church.

Dr. Thomas Beckham's collections for this county, 1602, 4to. were bought at Mr. Ives's sale by the Earl of Surrey; as were also those of Mr. Blomefield's, in two 4to. and two fol. volumes: Taxations and Inquisitions, four large folios, with indexes, very valuable: Abstracts of Patents, the places alphabetically ranged, folio. Another valuable folio of like abstracts of patents, licences of alienation, &c. with complete descriptions of persons and places. Inquisitiones Post Mortem, for Suffolk, t. c. i. collected by Edward Wenyeve; with an index of persons, folio; and a folio brought from Framlingham Castle, given by Martin to Le Neve, 1737, intitled, "Sir John Howard, Knt. first Duke of Norfolk, Account of his Steward of Lands and Houses; wherein are many particulars of the prices of Eatables, Drink, and other matters, worth notice." In several pages is Sir John's own handwriting.

An Alphabetical List of the Arms and Crests of the Gentry of the county of Suffolk, as well ancient as modern; collected from the best authors, and most authentic manuscripts, by the Rev. Joseph Brokenham, rector of StokeAsh and Little Thornham, in Suffolk, 1713, 4to. the largest collection for this county, perhaps, ever extant. It contains a list of 730 coats of arms. A true copy, 1765, with addenda, by Mr. Fenn. The original was in Mr. Martin's library, but disposed of in his life time.

This county was surveyed in 1702, and the two following years, by John Kirby, of Wickham, who published "The Suffolk Traveller; or, a Journey through Suffolk in which is inserted the true distance in the roads from Ipswich to every market-town in Suffolk, and the same from Bury St. Edniund's. Likewise the distance in the roads from one village to another; with notes of direction for travellers; as what churches and gentlemens' seats are passed by, and on which side of the road, and the distance they are at from either of the said towns: with a short historical account of the antiquities of every market town, monasteries, castles, &c. that were in former times. Ipswich, 1735.' 12mo.

Some account of a body, believed to be that of the Duke of Exeter, found in uncommon preservation, under the ruins of Bury Abbey; with some reflections upon the subject; by Charles Collignon, M D. F. R. S. and professor of anatomy at Cambridge, make Art 33 of vol. lxii. of the Philosophical Transactions.

In Archæologia, III. 311, are remarks on this abbey, with a correct plan and elevation of it, by Edward King, Esq.

Five Views of the Abbey Gate have been published: one by W. Millicent, engraved by E. Kirkhall, with this inscription: A View of the Gatehouse belonging to the Abbey, in St. Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk. It being uncertain when this was built, I shall leave it to the more learned to judge, whether before or after Edw. I. the wall, which enclosed the Abbey, being built in his time.'

A second, by Messrs. Buck, 1738, dedicated to Sir Jermyn Davers, Bart. then proprietor of the abbey ruins. This view was engraved in the Universal Magazine, 1759, and though only a perspective one, is much the most accurate in the style and ornaments of the building, though it has not done them the justice they deserve.

A third is prefixed to Dr. Batteley's book, but when taken is not expressed it exhibits the two unmeaning towers formerly placed on the gateway, but is, in other respects, indifferent enough.

A history of Ipswich, from the Saxon times, down to the death of Charles I. in 800 folio pages, by Mr. Bacon, its recorder, town-clerk, and representative, under Cromwell, is likely to remain iu MS. according to the character given of it, for inaccuracy, by the editors of Kirby's book.
