t This marriage is shewn on the next shield : viz. on tlie dexter side, the Tropenell arms, and, on the sinister side,
impaled az. and gu. three lions rampant argent, powdered with ermine, armed with gules, for Rous. There is an altar-
tomb, of good workmanship, in a chantry, formerly belonging to the Tropenells, at the north side of the church at
Corsham, under which Roger Tropenell and his wife lie buried. It is, in design, very similar to that shewn in
Plate VIII., Ecclesiastical Architecture, but smaller. Two sides of it are seen, the other two heing placed against the
north and east walls; the south side has three quatrefoils, in wliich are as many ohlong sliields, with a mantle falling over
at top and hottom. The shields are slightly curved. Tlie centre one, on the south side, bears the Tropenell and Rous
arms impaled in one ; the left hand (tlie heraldic dexter') bears tlae Tropenell arms, and the riglit (tlie heraldic sinister) has
the Rous arms. The west end has one quatrefoil, in wliich is a shield, similar to the others, bearing the Rous arms.
The east end must have heen ornamented, and probahly had the Tropenell arms. The north side seems never to have
heen ornamented, but designed to ahut against the wall.
| This marriage is shewn on the same screen, at No. 5, on the same plate : viz. on the dexter side of the shield, the
Tropenell arms as hefore, and, the sinister side, az. tliree roaches ar., within a bordure or, for Roche.
§ This marriage is also shewn on the same, at No. 4: viz. as before, on the dexter side the Tropenell arms, and on
the sinister, ar. a chevron sa. between three bears’ lieads erased of the same, for Ludlow of Ilill Deverill. Sir Richard Colt
Hoare gives the latter, in his History of Modern Wiltshire, among the arms of the families in the Hundred of Heyteshury,
and also the same, but martins' instead of bears’ heads in anotlier page. In the pedigree there given of Ludlow,
the fourth daughter of William Ludlow, the first of that name, as of Hill Deverill, marries Thomas Trapnell, or Tropenell,
of Chavile, co. Wilts, Esq. The Christian name of this lady is not mentioned; but it must have been Agnes, and not
Margaret, since Margaret, who was tlie eldest daughter, married William Sandes, and at a court held at Corsham “upon”
“ the Morrow of Saint Bartliolomew tlie Apostle, in the twentyeth Year of the reign of Kivg Ilenry, the Sixth after”
“ the Conquest, came Thomas Tropenell, who holds of the Lord to him and his Heirs, according to tbe custom of the ”
“ mannor, &c. One Mess e and one Yard Land, with the appurts in Neston called le Eyres, and surrendered into the”
“ hands of the Lord the Messuage and Yard Land afores d, with tlie appurts, to the use of himstlf and Agnes liis wife, ”
“ Robert Hungerford, Knight, and Robeit Hungerford, Esq.” (their Attorneys). This must have been on liis marriage,
as he was admitted tenant to the same Messuage “ At a court lield tliere on Monday next after the feast of the Body of ”
“ Christ, in the sixteenth Year of the Reign of King Henry, the Sixth after the Conquest,” which seems to have been
his first purchase, for which he paid “ to the Lord for a Herriot, 12 shillings, according to the antient custom,” and
“ for a Fine 13 shillings and 4 pence.”—Copies of Court Roll and Surrenders of Lands, Sjc., in Corsham, in the same MS.
