Sec7'etary of the Yorkshire Archceological Society J LEEDS : iiiN Will 1 i,iii;ai) & Son. Ai.fukd S irrki', Hoar Lank 1909 2>/9 PREFACE. An attempt has been made in the following pages to give a copy of all the Inscriptions on the Monuments and Grave Covers which are now to be seen inside the church ; and also of all Inscrip- tions of both classes, of which there is any record in printed books, or in the manuscripts of private individuals. Many inscriptions on grave covers, which are now either covered by pews or are lost, have been preser\'ed to us by two industrious Halifax antiquaries, Messrs. E. J. Walker and S. T. Rigge, F.S.A. Apparently, Mr. Walker began to make his copies in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, for on folio 7 of his MS., which has been generousl}' placed at my disposal by Mr. William Farrer, F.S.A. , in reference to the inscriptions in the Holdsworth Chapel, occurs the following note : ' ' Upon the floor of the chapel — some of these were taken by my son, C.J.W., when the chapel was cleaned ; the bulk by m3^self in June, 1865, when the old unsightly pews adjoining the screen were all pulled away and the whole floor levelled, hot water pipes ])ut in, and the entire chapel fiUed with open stalls. — E.J.W." There appears to be no other indication in the MS. as to when these copies of tlie inscriptions were taken. This MS. passed into the hands of the late John Stansfeld, of Leeds, and bears his autograph signature and the date 3^^. Perhaps more accurate copies of the inscriptions are those made by Mr. Rigge, which have been kindly lent to me by Mr. J. W. Clay, F.S.A., who also sent me copies of most of the monumental inscriptions which were taken by him and Mr. Lister a good many years ago, witli a view to their jmblication in the Yorkshire ArchcBological Journal, in a similar way to what was done in regard to those in EUand Church. The task, however, was ne\er completed. The editor has personally checked or copied ever\' inscription now visible in the church, all of wliich are included in this work. He has added those to be found in iln- printod liistories of Halifax, 718847 VI PREFACK. those preserved b}- Mr. Rigge which are not now to be seen, and those copied b}' Mr. Walker which are not inchided in any of the above categories. When the inaccessibility of some of the monuments and the almost obliterated condition of some of the inscriptions on the grave covers is taken into consideration, some mistakes are un- avoidable, but e\'ery care has been taken to eliminate error as far as possible. The grave co\-ers, too, suffered considerably in the restoration of the church, when a good many of them were cut down, v\ith the consequent loss of portions of their inscriptions. The heraldry on the monuments presents some difficulty. It is probably not always accurately portra3^ed, but an endeavour has been made to describe it as it is, rather than what, perhaps, it ought to be. My thanks are due to Mr. Clay and Mr. Farrer for the loan of Rigge's and ^^'alker's MSS.; to Mr. John Lister, M.A., for his ever- willing assistance on many points on \\'hich I have consulted him ; to Mr. C. C. Hodges for his note on the Early Grave Covers ; to Mr. H. P. Ivendall for the photographs from which the plates ha\'e been reproduced ; and to the Rev. Canon Savage for the facilities he has given me in the task of copying the inscriptions. E. W. CROSSLEY. Dean House, Triangle, Halifax, July, 1909. CONTENTS. » PAGE I. Monumental Inscriptions.

Dr. Favour in his will left Fdmond Brearcli ffe " Barowe's Phisicke in Englishe."

He practised Physic in this Town with great success about 63 years. To his Patients he was very attentive & humane ; to the Poor benevolent & charitable. He was ready in lending pecuniary Assistance to most who applied to him, but slow in calling in Debts. He was a man of few Words, yet affable & pleasant with his Friends. From his medical Abilities, his general Knowledge, & gentle Manners he was much respected by all who knew him. He was a rare instance of Temperance & Sobriety, water being his common Drink from his youth & for many years he never tasted animal Food. This strict Regimen did not prevent his taking much Exercise & undergoing great Fatigue : for he was almost daily on Horseback over the neighbouring Hills in every season & in all weather. Though so far advanced in life, yet his Hand continued steady & his Judgment clear, so that he died not of old age but of an acute disease ; & in the blessed Hope that he should not dwell for ever with (Corruption. 1 The figure "9," though not painted like the rest of the inscription, is clearly cut in the inarljle.

It is possible that John King, vicar of Halifax 1389-1438, was an early member of the family of King of Skircoat. Bairstow was in possession of the Kings in 1553, when William Kinge of Skircote, th'elder, bequeathed " Wairstowe (obviously a misspelling in the register of wills for ' Bairstowe 'j house " to his youngest son William {Halifax Wills, ii, 88). The elder branch of the family in 1618 was seated at Willow Hall. 3 In his will, dated 9 March, 1639, he left a silver tobacco pipe to his cousin John King, and a sum of money to be distributed to the poor of Skircoat on the first Saint Thomas' Day after his decease, a date selected by several other members of his family in making similar bequests.

They were probably, (Gules), three crescents (or), a chief (ermine) — Fui.NETBY (;!iide Foster's Yorkshire Visitations, 1^84-3 and 1612, p. 331). The wife of Gerard Soothill, whose daughter and heiress married Gilbert Lacy, was a Fulnetby heiress (ibid.). * These arms are also possibly a Soothill quartering. ■'' Quoting from Dr. Johnson, Walker gives the inscription as, "Here lieth enclosed the body of John Lacye, of Bricrelcy esq ; who was buried the 19"' day of August in the year of our Lord God "; and tliat under the arms of Lacy were the words, "Orate pro anima Magistri Joannis Lacye" (Walker's Halifax Registers, p. 20). Although this is a comparatively late date for such an inscription, a number of similar instances have been recorded. " " Johne Lacye de brearley esquire sepult. xix Augustii 1585 " {Hx. Reg.).

He bought Woodhouse, now called Wood Hall, in Skircoat, and resided there. He was a justice of the peace. Buried at Halifax 17 April, 1703. He is said to have given some valuable books to the Parish Church Library, which to-day contains several works with the names of different members of the Sterne family written in them. Tiie word "benefactor" on this tablet, with the date " 1701," certainly seems to show that it commemorates some benefaction made to the church in his lifetime. Should it refer to a gift of books, the tablet was probalily originally placed in the library, for which it would be quite suitable. In his will, dated 28 May, 1696, he gave "all my bookes of Divinity unto the eldest of my sons for ever that shall goe or enter into Orders. lUm I give and bequeath all the rest and residue of my bookes whatsoever unto Richard, my eldest son, for ever" (Original IVilZ). 2 In 1735 li<-' I'^^'l '" ^ messuage, owned by Samuel Stead, situated in Crown Street nigh unto the Cloth Hall (Will of Sam.

The Halifax historians, Watson, Jacobs, Crabtree, and Walker, all give 'Mcccccxxx' as the date recorded on this brass, the first and last of them giving a filate showing this year. Mr. Mill Stephenson too, in his article on " Monumental Brasses in the West Riding'" ( Vor/:.';. Arch, [ournal, xv, 18), has Ijeen led into the same error, and publishes an illustration taken from a rubbing showing ' MCCCCCXXX.' Yet it is quite certain that it should read "Mcccccxxxix."' The mistake in the rubbing has occurred in this way. Line 4 of the inscription undoubtedly ends with 'mcccccxxx,' but line 5 begins with ' ix,' which is just as clear as the portion of the inscription which precedes it, the rest of line 5 having been obliterated. Line 5 is shown in the illustra- tion referred to as wholly obliterated, which is incorrect, the rubber having neglected to take the impression of the ' ix,' with which the line begins. If there was any doubt, the Register confirms ' MCCCCCXXXIX.'

There are in the church five early grave-covers (four in the south porch and one beneath the westernmost window in the south wall) without any inscriptions, but of sufficient interest to deserve recording here 1 Copy of the inscription on the tablet which it is proposed to erect to the memory of Archdeacon Brooke, Jan. i, 1909. The wording of this inscription may be slightly altered. 2 This date is a misinke, as William Palden, who made his will on March 7, 1535-6, directed that his body should be buried afore the altar within the new chapel, lately builded by Maister Doctor Haldesworthe upon the south part of the parish church of Saint John Baptist of Halifax [Halifax IVtHs, i, 103-4).

INSCRIPTIONS IN HALIFAX PARISH CHURCH. 147 No. I, measuring 5 ft. 8 in. by about 24^ in. tapering to 17I in., is perfect. The head of the cross is formed by sinking the stone around it. The stem and calvary are simply incised. The slab also has the shears incised upon it. (See plate II.) Mr. C. C. Hodges writes that this slab dates from c. 1150, and adds that the symbol is the smallest specimen of the great clipping shears for dressing cloth that he has seen — in this case a trade and not a sex symbol. The shears in the latter case are more elongated and pointed. No. 2 is also perfect, except that it has been broken in two, and measures 5 ft. 4 in. by i6|in. tapering to 13! in. It is in all respects similar to No. i except that it has no shears upon it. No. 3 has the bottom part cut off, and one of the top corners has also been broken off. It measures 4 ft. by about 19^ in. tapering to isfin. The cross-head is worked in the same manner as in No. 5. The stem of the cross is incised. No. 4 has the bottom part cut off and a large piece on one side of the neck of the cross cut out, and measures 3 ft. 6 in. by 18 in. tapering to 15^ in. The arms and head of the cross terminate in trefoils formed by sinking the ground around them. The stem is incised. No. 5, which is the one beneath the window in the south aisle, is only the head of a grave-cover. It measures 19 in. by 15 in. tapering to 14^ in., and bears a cross-head formed by the arcs of four circles, which meet so as to form four loops, through which passes a band which forms a lozenge. (See plate III.) Mr. Hodges writes of this slab that it is of a peculiar design, but in its present incomplete state he can only say that it may date anywhere from 1 180-1300. Unfortunately, No. 3, which is similar, is also imperfect. INDEX NOMINUM. An asterisk (*) following a page number signifies that the name occurs more than once on that page.
