FOOTNOTES.
{35} Did this designation—arising, we presume, from making frequent
attestations—give rise to “Attenbrooke,” “Addenbrook,” and similar
surnames?
{37} On another page we have spoken of a later member of this family,
who, by indenture, dated 29th of May, 1706, bequeathed a sum of money to
the poor of Madeley, and of Comerford Brooks, who, in consideration of
the said sum, £40, and a further sum of £30 paid him by Audley Bowdler
and others, granted three several cottages in Madeley Wood, the rent and
profits of which were to be devoted to the use of the poor of the parish
of Madeley, in such manner as the grantees, with the consent of the vicar
and parish officers, should think lit. This is the latest notice we have
obtained. The Basil Brooke here spoken of is the one also previously
referred to in our introduction, as fourth in descent from a gallant
knight in the reign of King Charles, and who is said to have secreted his
Majesty in a square hole behind the wainscoating of the chapel, which the
inmates of the Court-house describe as “King Charles’s Hole.” Of the
charity we shall speak under the head of “Benefactions,” later on.
{40} It was from a subsequent sale of this property that the old
Poor-House was built.
{54} For further particulars relating to King Charles’s Visit, see
Appendix.
