_Collar of SS._ (Vol. iv., p. 147.).--In answer to the request of MR. E.
FOSS, respecting effigies having a collar of SS., I beg to inform you
that in the church of St. Lawrence, Isle of Thanet, is a brass of
Nicholas Manston, Esq., A.D. 1444, who wears the above decoration. Near
St. Lawrence, is the hamlet of Manston, in which is an old farmhouse
called Manston Court, attached to which are the ruins of a chapel.
Query: Who was Nicholas Manston?
