_Derivation of "Wellesley"_ (Vol. viii., p. 173.).--In reply to J. M., I think the following particulars I may not be uninteresting to him. There is good reason to believe that the name of Wellesley was derived from an ancient manor about one mile south of Wells, called Wellesleigh, which once, belonged to the Bishops of Bath and Wells. It is certain that a family called "De Wellsleigh" lived, and held considerable lands in this manor at a very remote period. In 1253, a Philip de Wellsleigh, and in 1349 another of the same name, are recorded as holding part of the manor of the Bishops of Bath and Wells. These lands, with the serjeanty and office of bailiff and "cryer of the hundred," passed into the family of the Hills of Spaxton, A.D. 1435. In 7 Henry VII., John Stourton held half a knight's fee in this manor: "formerly held by William de Wellsleigh." I have an original deed in my possession dated 26th Edward I., being a feoffment or grant of lands in Dinder (an adjoining parish) by William Le Fleming, "Dn̄s de Dynder," in which "Thomas de Welesleȝe" and "Robert de Welesleȝe" (so the name is spelt) are, among others, named as witnesses. This manor was held by the Bishops of Bath and Wells until the time of Ralph de Salopia (succeeded A.D. 1329, died A.D. 1363), who gave it to the vicars choral of the cathedral, by who it has been held down to the last year (1852), when they sold the fee of it to Robert Charles Tudway, Esq., M.P. for Wells. INA. Wells. _Penny-come-quick_ (Vol. viii., pp. 8. 113. 184.).--Your correspondents on the subject of this name do not appear to be aware that there is a place also so called in Ireland: a small public-house, and one or two others, on the high road between Wicklow and Arklow, near the sea-shore, three miles north of the latter town. In Taylor and Skinners Road Maps of Ireland (1776), it is spelled "Penny-_con_-quick." I have been there, and do not think that the site countenances H. C. K.'s ingenious etymology. C. _Eugene Aram's Comparative Lexicon_ (Vol. vii., p. 597.).--MR. E. S. TAYLOR will perhaps be glad to know that specimens of the above _Lexicon_ were printed at the end of a small work published about twenty-five years since by Mr. Bell of Richmond (Yorkshire), entitled _The Trial and Life of Eugene Aram_. NORRIS DECK. Cambridge. _Wooden Tombs and Effigies_ (Vol. vii., pp. 528. 607., &c.).--At Sparsholt, Berks, in the south transept are two female effigies of wood, under sepulchral arches, richly carved in stone: one of them is engraved in Hollis's _Monuments_. At Burghfield and Barkham, in the same county, are also wooden effigies of the fourteenth century. At Hildersham Church, Cambridgeshire, within the altar rails, on the north side, is a wooden monument of a knight and his lady: the knight cross-legged, and drawing his sword. They are said to be the effigies of Sir Thomas Busteler and lady, temp. Edward II. NORRIS DECK. Cambridge.
