_Discovery at Nuneham Regis_ (Vol. vi., pp. 386. 488. 558.).--Nuneham Regis
was granted to John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, in the seventh year of
King Edward VI.; but as it was forfeited on his attainder, in the first
year of Queen Mary, and immediately granted by her to Sir Rowland Hill,
knight, and citizen of London, from whom Sir Thomas Leigh, knight, and
alderman of London, almost immediately acquired it; and as he exercised the
right of presentation to the vicarage in the first year of the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, there is no probability of the body of John, Duke of
Northumberland, being removed from the Tower of London to Newnham.
The letters T. B. on the clothes on the body at Nuneham are distinctly
worked in Roman capitals, like those on a common sampler. I have seen them.
