ned by Mr. Walbran, namely, the Chartulary of Fountains Abbey, is
at present in University College, Oxford, and perhaps some of the other
MSS. may be there also. A catalogue of the MSS. of this College has been
printed, compiled by the Rev. H.O. Coxe, of the Bodleian Library; but I
have not been able to consult a copy of it in London.

_Sir William Ryder_ (No. 12. p. 186.),--"H.F." is informed that Sir
William Ryder, Lord Mayor of London in 1660, lived at Bethnal Green,
received the honour of knighthood, 12th March, 1660 or 1661; died 30th
August, 1669; and was buried 9th September following at St. Andrew
Undershaft, London. He had two sons, one of whom was Thomas Ryder, who
was an equerry to King James II., and lord of the manor of Bilsington,
in Kent. He performed some service at the coronation of Queen Anne; and
his son, Sir Barnham Ryder, was knighted at the coronation of her
successor. The other son of Sir William Ryder was William Ryder,
gentleman. Sir William Ryder had five daughters:--1. Elizabeth, who
married Richard, son of Sir Thomas Midleton, of Chirk Castle in
Denbighshire, knight. 2. Priscilla, the wife of Richard Baylie, son of
Dr. Baylie, Dean of {283} Sarum. 3. Mary. 4. Anne. 5. Martha.--_Harl.
MSS._ 5801, 5802.

_Scole Inn._--In answer to the query (No. 16. p. 245.) respecting the
Sign and House at Scole Inn, I beg to refer to vol. ii. p. 142., of the
_History of Norfolk_, published by Crouse and Booth of Norwich, in 1781,
in 10 vols. 8vo.

I beg to state that I have impressions of two large prints, one of the
"House," and the other of the "Sign." They were published in
1740.--"Joshua Kirby," del., "John Fossey," sculpt.

I have also a smaller print of the "Sign" taken from the opposite
side--from the larger one--apparently by the same parties, but the names
of the drawer and engraver are cut off.

I think the Sign was not take down till after 1795, as I have a
recollection of having passed _under it_ when a boy, in going from
Norwich to Ipswich.

The sign was large and handsome, and extended across the road.

In _Kirby's Print_, it is stated to have cost Mr. James Peck, who was a
merchant at Norwich, 1057l.

The prints are not very scarce, and may be got at many of the
printsellers in London.

About twenty years ago I have seen hanging up on the wall of the
principal entry of this inn, a print of its original front, comprising
the various figure, coats of arms,
