Pailer, "a tankard of silver, parcel gilt"; to Alice Hall, "one morning gown" and 20_s._; and to her god-daughter, Elizabeth Darley, one silver spoon. The residuary legatees and executors are Robert Man, and Francis Nevill, the son of Edward Nevill. Witnesses--William Payler, Anne Payler, Thomas Wanton, Alice Darley, John Stevenson, Katherine Blenkarne. We have here one or two facts showing the intimacy that subsisted between the families of Edward Turner and Mrs. Eymis. Alice Hall, one of her legatees, was the widowed sister of Edward Turner; Robert Man, her executor, was one of the supervisors of Edward Turner's will; Katherine Blenkarne, one of the witnesses of Mrs. Eymis's will, was a daughter of Edward Turner; John Stevenson, another witness, was most probably the person of that name who married Margaret Willowbie, another daughter of Edward Turner. Mrs. Eymis had reason to be proud of her descent. Her father, Sir Edward Nevill, a younger brother of George Nevill, Lord Abergavenny, was a distinguished ornament of the court of Henry VIII. in its palmiest days. He was one of "the noble troop of strangers" who formed the royal masquing party when the King visited Wolsey, and first saw Anne Boleyn. A few years after that event, he incurred the displeasure of the suspicious Henry, and was brought to the scaffold upon a charge of being implicated in the pretended conspiracy of Cardinal Pole and his brothers. [15] A monumental brass to the memory of the testator's "very good friend, Mr. Thomas Wood," is still preserved in the church of Kilnwick Percy, near Pocklington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, where he was buried in the month of October, 1584. The inscription has not, I believe, been printed:-- "Thomas Wood Gentilman, who in warfare hath be, He fought in Scotland, in Royall armyes thre, Lyeth now buried, in this grave hereunder. Of Bulloign when it was English, Clerk comptroller; Of the Ward Court, sixe and twenty yeres together Depute Receyvor; of Yorkshire once eschetor; Clerke of the Statut, in London noble cytye; Collector of Selby, with tenne pound yerely ffe. For thought wordes or deeds which to God or man were yll, Of bothe he askt forgyveness with glad hart and will. He buylt th'owse hereby, and this churche brought in good case: God grant his wyfe and sonnes to passe a godly race.--Amen." In the seventeenth century, Mary Wood, the grand-daughter of this Thomas Wood, and the niece and heiress of his eldest son, Barney Wood, married Sir Edmund Anderson, Baronet, and carried the estate of Kilnwick Percy into that family, by whom it was long enjoyed. Kilnwick Percy is now the beautiful seat and domain of Admiral the Honourable Arthur Duncombe, M.P. The Rev. M. A. Lawton, vicar of Kilnwick Percy, has obligingly favoured me with a copy of the above inscription.
