Effigy of Sir Robert Grushill and Lady. THERE is a monument in Hoveringham Church, Nottinghamshire, to Sir Robert Goushill, or Grushill, and his Lady, Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Mowbray (that Duke of Norfolk who was banished by Richard the Second), daughter and heiress of Richard Earl of Arundela. We do not, however, think, in this single instance, that the drawing has been rightly appropriated on the face of the plate. The male figure evidently represents a Knight of the Garter, and it does not appear that Sir Robert Grushill was of that noble order. Unfortunately, Mr. Stothard omitted to write at the back of his drawing the name of the monument from which it was taken. After his death, one of his antiquarian friends informed his widow that it represented Sir Robert Grushill. The erroneous information was adopted for lettering the etching; and in supplying the notices for the different Effigies we have in vain endeavoured to rectify the mistake. We would not, however, by omitting the subject, deprive the collection laid before the public, of so elegant a specimen of costume, recorded by Mr. C. Stothards pencil, and faithfully etched by Mr. C. J. Smith. The Lady wears a crescent-horned head-dress, rich fret, and a coronet; the Knight, a costly wreath, in front of which is a spreadeagle, and his feet seem to rest on a bird of the same kind. In front of the basinet are the letters IHS. His head rests on his helmet, furnished with a mantelet and panache. He has the collar of SS round his neck. The gussets and brassarts of his armour are elegantly fluted. Below the cuirass, or plastron, is a clearly defined example of the piece of armour to which Mr. Stothard has alluded in one of his letters, under the name of "pance," "bark" or "barde preu." The tassets are, as usual, appended by straps; by which contrivance the free motion of the thigh was allowed. On the left knee is the garter; and over the greaves, below the knee, we think are indented lambrequins of leather or cloth.
Note a. See Thoroton's Nottinghamshire, by Throsby, vol. III. p. 62, where it is stated that, under Sir Robert Grushiil's head is a Moor's head crowned, which disagrees with the figure before us.
Robert Goushill: Before August 1401 he and Elizabeth Fitzalan Duchess Norfolk were married. She the daughter of Richard Fitzalan 9th Earl of Surrey 4th or 11th Earl of Arundel and Elizabeth Bohun Countess Arundel and Surrey.

MY DEAR SIR,
In the valuable collection of Original Letters edited by Sir Henry Ellis (Vol. II. second Series), I observe two in 1569 and 1570 from Lady Stanhope to Sir William Cecill, respecting the unhappy marriage of her daughter with Mr. afterwards Sir John Hotham of Scorborough in Yorkshire, and also Sir John's letter to Cecill, as "Master of the Wards and Lyveries," defending himself, and in which he expatiates on the "Stanhopes eville delinge many wayes," but with less asperity than the lady, who not only reviles him, but, in fact, the whole county of York, and says "especially in Yorkshire, where he may suborne men and women to say what he listeth to serve his devilishe purpose." The lady had purchased the wardship of Hotham, and married him to her daughter, but it appears that after all it was a bad bargain, as she had not purchased his love. The Lord Treasurer Burghley found time for everything, and this lady even troubled him after her death. I shall be glad if you think the letter which I inclose worthy of notice by the Society of Antiquaries; the foolscap sheet is very neatly folded up, and endorsed in Lord Burghley's business-like manner, "6. Ap. 1588, Sr Thomas Stanhoppe, Towchinge his Mothers funeralls." Anne Lady Stanhope was the widow of Sir Michael Stanhope, who was beheaded in 1551 on a charge of conspiring with the Protector Somerset, who had married his half-sister, to assassinate the Duke of Northumberland, the Marquess of Northampton, and the Earl of Pembroke, at a banquet at the Lord Paget's, but his chief offence appears to have been that he was brother-in-law to Somerset. His widow is described by Collins as having "kept continually a worshipful house, relieved the poor daily, gave good countenance and comfort to the preachers of God's word, spent the most of her latter days in prayer, and using the church where God's word was preached." Her son, Sir Thomas, dates his letter from Shelford1 in Nottinghamshire, a dissolved monastery, which with the manor had been granted by Henry VIII. to his father. Sir Thomas was ancestor of several noble families, and his letter shows the magnificence of his ideas, but the dole to the poor at his gate was probably only a continuance or revival of the old custom in the time of his predecessors the monks.
Believe me to be
Very faithfully yours,
RICHD. ALMACK.
ALBERT WAY, Esq., M.A., Director S.A.
Note 1. Shelford House was a garrison for King Charles the First, under the care of Philip Stanhope, son of the first Earl of Chesterfield, the grandson of this Sir Thomas Stanhope.

Thence, we saw Newstead Abbey [Map], belonging to the Lord Byron (age 48), situated much like Fontainebleau in France, capable of being made a noble seat, accommodated as it is with brave woods and streams; it has yet remaining the front of a glorious abbey church. Next, by Mansfield town; then Welbeck [Map], the house of the Marquis of Newcastle (age 61), seated in a bottom in a park, and environed with woods, a noble yet melancholy seat. The palace is a handsome and stately building. Next to Worksop Abbey [Map], almost demolished; the church has a double flat tower entire, and a pretty gate. The manor belongs to the Earl of Arundel (age 27), and has to it a fair house at the foot of a hill in a park that affords a delicate prospect. Tickel, a town and castle, has a very noble prospect. All these in Nottinghamshire.
