_Crown Jewels once kept at Holt Castle._--I remember reading many years
since (I have forgotten both the title and the subject of the work) that
the _crown jewels_ were once deposited in Holt Castle, about five miles
from Worcester, for greater safety. Can any of your kind correspondents
inform me when and upon what turbulent occasion it was thought necessary
to forward them to the above stronghold on the banks of the Severn, and
who resided there at the time?
