long
established in Horncastle.

{44a} Mr. Fretwell was Curate of Horncastle and Rector of Winceby,
(_Directory of Horncastle_, 1791-2). He would appear to have been, for a
time, in sole charge of Horncastle, as we find that on one occasion (Feb.
23, 1790) "sensible of the distresses of the sick poor, he gave 1.5 g.
from the communion money to be laid out in Salop sago and Bowen's sago
powder, to be distributed at the discretion of the Faculty." (See
account of the Dispensary.)

{44b} The vault of Dr. Madeley is within the chancel rails, beneath the
tablet. His son was an officer in the 68th Regiment of Foot, in which
also a Horncastle man, named Walker, was sergeant.

{46} There is still, in Westminster Abbey, a chantry named "The Islip
Chapel," which is used as a Robing room, at the consecration of the
Bishops.

{50} A List of Institutions given in _Lincs. Notes & Queries_, vol. v,
p. 236 has the date of C. Monke's appointment, 24 Oct., 1558, and gives
his predecessor as Henry Henshaw. In a previous notice (_Ibidem_, p.
201) the latter is given as Henry Henshoo.

{57a} The patronage and manorial rights (as already stated) were
transferred to the Bishop of Lincoln, on the death of the Bishop of
Carlisle in 1856.

{57b} We may add that Dr. Madely also left a bequest of 50 pounds
towards a much needed church at Woodhall Spa; where through the energy of
the Rev. H. Walter, Vicar of the parent parish of Woodhall St. Margaret,
and Rector of Langton, the Church of St. Andrew was built before that of
Holy Trinity, Horncastle, the foundation stone being laid by Sir H.
Dymoke, April 2, 1846, and the consecration by Bishop Kaye taking place
Sep. 14, 1847; the architect in this case also being Mr. Stephen Lewin,
of Boston, a vicarage being built at the same time.

{59} All the coloured windows are by Messrs. Clayton & Bell.

{60} The sister of the present writer, who was a brilliant pianist,
frequently went to play to Mr. Clarke, and, as she touched the piano, he
would rouse himself and take his flute and try to accompany her. It is
not a little remarkable, that Mr. Clarke's widow, after a few years
married again, a Medical Practitioner, near Windsor, and committed
suicide by placing herself on the railway line, near that place, her
mangled remains being afterwards found on the line. Whether her mind had
been affected by her first husband's tragic death, who can say?
