[Possibly from the Wallers of Groombridge, county of Sussex. Thomas
Waller, of Lansdall, in that county, second son of Thomas Waller, of
Groombridge, had a son, Thomas, whose only daughter and heir,
Catherine, married Thomas Pope, of Henfield, county of Sussex. In such
cases the Christian name given by Clutterbuck may be wrong.--See the
Histories of Kent and Sussex for the account of the Wallers.]

_Life of St. Werburgh._--In King's _Vale Royal_, and other works on
Cheshire antiquities, reference is made to a _Life of St. Werburgh_ in
verse, by Henry Bradshaw, a monk of Chester. I am anxious to ascertain
whether the original MS. is now in existence; and, if not, in what
collection a _copy_ of the poem is preserved?
