Aedes Althorpianae, or, An account of the mansion, books, and pictures of Althorp : the residence of George John Earl Spencer to which is added a supplement to the Bibliotheca Spenceriana . of water in Oldthorpe; but this seems to have been only anextension of some property previously acquired there; for it iscertain that Althorpe, so called, was purchased by this Sir JohnSpencer as early as the year 1508. The same Sir John afterwardspurchased Newbottle and Brington, and died in the year tomb, with the recumbent figures of his wife Isabella,and himself, is the most ancient of those seen in the chapel ofBrington church. It is in the rich gothic style of that period, and heads of the old pews in the chancel. As these are undoubtedly of the end ofthe xivth or beginning of the xvth century, and as it is not very improbablethat the same fate of decapitation, or destruction, which has befallen their com-panions, may in a few years attend these—I present the reader with the follow-ing specimens ; taken, the one from the left, and the other from the right, onentering the chancel. That, to the left, is St. Margaret. The right may be—any thing the reader pleases. ^fh,. ^.. .
