578 Description of Fotheringhay Church, Northampton. [XCI.

served the graves of her ancestors, the
Dukes of York, neglected amongst the
ruins of the choir. She therefore ordered

that their bodies should be removed into
the present Church, and deposited on
each side the communion-table*; giving
directions, at the same time, to her trea-
surer, that monuments should be erected
to their memory. These monuments are
a specimen of the bad taste of that age;
they are composed of fluted Corinthian
columns, supporting a frieze and cornice,
ornamented with the falcon and fetterlock;
a border of scroll-work, bearing grotesque
heads and interlaced with fruit and flowers,
surrounds an escutcheon on a tablet sur-
mounted by a ducal coronet.
the South side bears France and England
quarterly, with a label of five points, for
Edward, Duke of York, the founder, who
was killed at Agincourt; on the cornice
beneath was formerly this inscription:

That on

'Edwardus Dux Eboraci occisus erat anno tertio regni Henrici Quinti, anno Domini

1415'."

"On the monument on the North side, which is the counterpart of the other, is France and England quarterly, with a label of five points, impaling a saltire, surmounted by a ducal coronet, for Rich ard, Duke of York, who was killed at Wakefield, and his Duchess. Ciceley, daughter of Ralph Neville, first Earl of Westmorland. On the cornice above the base, were originally these words: Richardus Dux Eboraci obiit mense Januarii anno 270 regni Henrici Sexti, anno D'i 1460. Cicilia Uxor Richardi Ducis Eboraci obiit anno 10mo regni Henrici Septimi, anno Domini 1495.' It is remarkable,

that this monument should not also have

borne an inscription to the memory of Edmund, Earl of Rutland, killed by Clifford, whose remains were interred in the same grave with those of his father.

"Over each of these monuments is a wooden Tablet. That on the South is thus inscribed :-' Edward, Duke of York, was slain at the battle of Agincourt in the 3d year of Henry the 5th, 1415.' And on the Northern Tablet is- Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, nephew to Edward, Duke of York, and father to King Edward the 4th, was slain at Wakefield, in the 37th year of Henry the 6th, 1459; and lies buried here with Cicely his wife. Cicely, Duchess of York, was daughter

to Ralph Neville, first Earl of Westmorland'."

The area of the Church is fitted up with long pews of neat wainscot, erected in 1817, under the direction of Thomas Belsey, esq. the present owner of the estate. The old wooden seats were purchased by the Rev. H. K. Bonney; and of some of them are formed the pulpit and desk, which Dow ornament the neighbouring Church of King's Cliffe. Others of these seats are now in the parish church of Tansor. They exhibit a specimen of carved wood work, most beautiful now existing in the which may be ranked among the kingdom. Their form is that of the old Miserere, or monastic shelving stool, and resembles those which are to be seen in the Church of Beddington, Surrey, an engraving and description of which are given in the 7th vol. of the "Antiquarian and Topographical Cabinet."

Figure A. is from p. 396 of Dallaway's highly-interesting "Inquiries into the Origin and Progress of the Science of Heraldry in England," and exhibits the falcon and fetterlock, the well-known cognizance (connoissance) of the House of York, differing from that represented on the carved seats, in being open instead of closed.

Respecting this peculiar badge, I transcribe a curious passage from Dugdale, referred to by Dallaway, at P. 384. His words are as follow.

"Edward IV. The falcon on the fetter-lock was the device of his great-grandfather Edmond of Langley, first Duke of York, fifth son to King Edward the Third, who, after the King his father had endow. ed him with the Castle of Fotheringhay†, which he new built in form and fashion of a fetter-lock, assumed to himself his father's falcon, implying thereby, that he was locked up from the hope and possibility of the kingdom.

"Upon a time, finding his sons beholding this device set upon a window, asked what was Latin for a fetter-lock, whereupon the father said, if you cannot tell me, I will tell you, hic, hæc, hoc, taceatis,' revealing to them his meaning, and advising them to be silent and quiet, as God knoweth what may come to pass. This his great grand-child Edward the Fourth reported, and bore it, and commanded that his yonger son, royal Duke

+"i. e. the keep, or highest fortification thereof, according to our venerable chorographer Camden."
