_Sir Thomas Elyot_ (Vol. viii., p. 220.).--Particulars respecting this once
celebrated diplomatist and scholar may be collected from Bernet's _Hist.
Reformation_, ed. 1841, i. 95.; Strype's _Ecclesiastical Memorials_, i.
221. 263., Append. No. LXII.; Ellis's _Letters_, ii. 113.; _Archaeologia_,
xxxiii.; Wright's _Suppression of Monasteries_, 140.; _Lelandi Encomia_,
83.; Leland's _Collectanea_, iv. 136-148.; _Retrospective Review_, ii.
381.; _Privy Purse Expenses of Princess Mary_, 82. 230.; Chamberlain's
_Holbein Heads_; Smith's _Autographs_; Fuller's _Worthies_
(Cambridgeshire); Wood's _Athenae Oxonienses_, i. 58.; Lysons'
_Cambridgeshire_, 159.
The grant of Carlton cum Willingham in Cambridgeshire to Sir Thomas Elliot
and his wife is enrolled in the Exchequer (_Originalia_, 32 Hen. VIII.,
pars 3. rot. 22. vel 221.); and amongst the Inquisitions filed in that
Court is one taken after his death (_Cant. and Hunt._, 37 vel 38 Hen.
VIII.).
I believe it will be found on investigation, that Sir Richard Elyot (the
father of Sir Thomas) was of Wiltshire rather than of Suffolk. See Leland's
_Collectanea_, iv. 141. n., and an Inquisition in the Exchequer of the date
of 6 or 7 Hen. VIII. thus described in the Calendar: "de manerio de
Wanborough com. Wiltes proficua cujus manerii Ricardus Eliot percepit."
