of Worcester (says a writer in the publication called "Notes and
Queries"), is Cotheridge Court, the manorial residence of the
Berkeleys. The Mr. Berkeley who held it at the date of the battle of
Worcester was a stout Royalist, and went to help the fallen fortunes
of his King. It so chanced that he had two piebald horses, who were
exactly like each other, "specially Sambo," as the niggers say. He
made one of these horses his charger, and rode him to the fight. When
Cromwell had gained his "crowning merits," Mr. Berkeley escaped to
Cotheridge as best he might; and planning a very skilful ruse, left
his exhausted charger at one of the farmhouses not far from the court.
He then betook himself to bed, and, as he had foreseen, a troop of
crop-headed Parliamentarists now made their appearance before his
doors and sought admittance. Mr. Berkeley was ill in bed, and could
not be seen. Fudge! they must see him. So they go to his bed-side. "So
you were fighting against us at Worcester to-day, were you?" say the
crop-heads. "Me!" says Mr. Berkeley, faintly and innocently; "why, I am
sick, and forced to keep my bed." "All very fine," say the crop-heads,
"but you were there, my dear sir, for you rode a piebald charger, and
were very conspicuous." "It could not have been me," says the sick
man, "for though I certainly do ride a piebald charger when I am in
health, yet he has never been out of the stable all day. If you doubt
my word, you had better go to the stable and satisfy yourselves." So
the crop-heads go to the stable, and there, of course, find piebald
No. 2, as fresh as a daisy, and evidently not from Worcester. So
they conclude that they had mistaken their man, and leave the sick
Mr. Berkeley to get well and laugh at the ruse he had so successfully
played upon them.
After his flight from Worcester and concealment at White Ladies, the
King appeared as "Will Jones," attired in a leather doublet, with
pewter buttons, a pair of old green breeches, a green "jump coat," a
pair of stockings with the tops cut off, a pair of stirrup stockings,
a pair of shoes cut and slashed to give ease to his feet, an old grey
greasy hat without a lining, a "noggen shirt" of the coarsest linen,
his hands and face made of a "reechy complexion" with the aid of walnut
leaves. He attempted to reach Wales, but got no further than Madeley,
being obliged to return, as there were no means of crossing the
Severn, without danger. He returned to his shelter in Staffordshire,
and quitted his suit for a new grey one, as the holiday attire of a
farmer's son, and thus as "Will Jackson" he rode before Mrs. Jane Lane,
and ultimately effected his escape.
In Martley church is still, I believe, an inscription to Lettice
Lane, sister to the above Mrs. Jane Lane, who rode with Charles II,
disguised as her servant, on his retreat to the south-west coast. On
the floor of the old church of Knightwick (recently closed) was also
a plain stone to Grace Lane, another of the same family. It is said
that his Majesty halted at Knightwick, and was glad to turn shoeblack
at the Talbot inn, to avoid the suspicion of pursuers. Colonel Lane,
of Bentley, Staffordshire, had property at Knightwick, and the young
lady, with her royal master, probably rested here on that account.
The gold pouncet box given by the King to Mrs. Jane Lane during their
journey from Bentley to Bristol, after the battle of Worcester, and
a beautiful portrait (a miniature) of Colonel Lane, were exhibited
by Miss Yonge, at the Archæological Institute Meeting at Shrewsbury,
October, 1855. On the former are engraved, on a lozenge, the arms of
the Lane family, with the canton of England granted as an honourable
augmentation. These interesting relics were in the possession of Dr.
Arden, who married a lady of the Lane family, and they were presented
by Miss Arden to their present possessor. In "Colston's Life and
Times" is the following interesting allusion to the progress of the
royal fugitive:--"At the close of the year, the vessel which conveyed
the body of the Lord-Deputy Ireton, who had died of the plague, at
Limerick, came into King Road, 'notice of which having been forwarded
to the Mayor of Bristol, he sent a boat, covered with black, in which
the corpse was brought to the city. When the body was landed, a velvet
pall was placed over the coffin, and the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common
Council, in their formalities, and the Governor and his officers, with
a multitude of citizens, attended the body. On this occasion the great
guns were fired from the castle and fort.' Nearly coincident with the
above, a horseman, with apparently his mistress seated behind him, on a
pillion, entered Bristol at Lawford's Gate. He was unknown, unnoticed;
but between him, and the ashes that with gloomy solemnity were paraded,
there was a connecting link--connecting yet repulsive. They were the
ashes of a fallen foe, the mortal remains of an enemy--of one who had
sentenced to a traitor's doom the august sire of the menial who now
journeyed through a city, whose allegiance to him and his cause had
been severed, where there awaited a thousand arms to deliver him to
captivity, perhaps to death. The place is evidently familiar to the
rider. He made no inquiries, but conducted his horse unheeded through
the streets. He arrives in view of the lofty bulwarks of the castle,
its towers and gigantic keep. Their sight may have called forth latent
memories, for here the horse was stayed, turned aside, as though the
travellers would take a passing survey of the stately pile; but this
was all; they halted not to rest at inn or hostelry, nor dismounted to
refresh the steed, but quietly and leisurely continued their course,
through a narrow gloomy street, over the bridge, and thus in safety
passed from out the ancient town, unsuspected, unchallenged, and
unknown. How strange are life's vicissitudes, its contrasts! A king,
disguised--passing obscurely through a half hostile city! The mortal
remains of the son-in-law of the usurper of his kingdom received with
military honours and Royal etiquette. In one quarter, pomp and state
following the ashes, as would befit a monarch's obsequies; in another,
a deserted crownless sovereign, in lowly garb, eludes the pursuit of
his enemy, and passes in safety to a less doubtful shelter from the
city, of which he was the lawful lord. In after years, all this quaint
and gorgeous pomp will be displayed to welcome this fugitive, and he
will be escorted triumphantly through its lately hostile bosom."
* * * * *
In reference to the Civil Wars in this county, the following extracts
from Dugdale's Diary will be found to possess some interest:
"March 22, 1644. This night, ---- brother to Fox ye tinker
(wch. keeps a garrison of rebells in Edgbaston House, com.
Warr.) entred Sturton Castle, com. Stafford, with 200 men from
---- to plant a garrison there.
"May 3 [1644].--Sr. Tho. Littleton, of Frankley, com. Wigorn,
taken prisoner by a p'ty of horse (sent by Fox, the tinker from
Edgbaston) to Ticknall Mannor near Beaudley."
John Fox "the Tinker," as he is here and before called, and "that rogue
Fox" as the Royalists sometimes term him, appears to have been a very
active officer, and no small annoyance to his adversaries. Amongst
the papers of the republican Earl of Denbigh, who was commander in
chief of the forces in the counties of Warwick, Worcester, Stafford,
and Salop, is a memorandum, made about March, 1643-4, of a commission
granted to John Fox to be colonel of a regiment to consist of six
troops of horse and two companies of dragoons, and a commission to
Reynold Fox to be his major. The same collection (which is arranged
in two large folio volumes) contains several letters from Fox, during
his occupation of Edgbaston House, where nothing but the enthusiasm of
party could have kept his ill-clothed and ill-paid soldiers together.
Indeed, at one time, he confesses that he durst not leave them to wait
upon his Lordship, "for feare of mutunyes and a _general departure_."
Fox signs in an illiterate manner, and his letters are always in the
writing of another hand, probably that of a German, as he mentions
"Hampton, Brewood, and the Dorpes [villages] thereabouts." By referring
to October 5, following, it will be found that the united forces from
Worcester and Dudley Castle were not able to unkennel him in his little
garrison at Edgbaston, but "returned without doing anything;" or--as
Fox would probably have said--were repulsed with loss. Odious enough
in the eyes of the Cavaliers, for his successful opposition, he was
surcharged with being one of King Charles's executioners: "Some have a
conceit that he that gave the stroke was one Collonell Foxe, and the
other Captain Joyce, who took the King from Holmby, but that is not
believed."--Journal of the Earl of Leicester, in Sydney Papers, by
Blencowe, p. 61.
"October 5.--Forces went out of Worcester and joyned with others from
Dudley Castle to recover Edgbaston House from ye Rebells. Returned
without doing anything."
