In his will, dated 4 Jan., 1737-8, Edward Finch, canon residentiary of York, prebendary of Canterbury, and rector of Eyam, in the Peak of Derbyshire, desires to be buried "in York Minster, next to the body of my dearest friend and brother Henry Finch, late dean of York, deceased" (see No. 169). And he adds, " I positively appoint that there be no manner of expence in

putting my coffin into the grave which can possibly be spared, which I leave to the discretion of the person or persons who takes care of my burial, with this general direction, that whatever can be saved out of the useless funeral shew which the undertakers for funerals do usually procure or provide, the saving that expence will be most according to my intent and desire, for I would be put into my grave with the utmost decent privacy that can be contrived."

The corps of my prebend of Wetwang (wch hath fallen in to me), I devise the same to my nephew Daniel Finch, earl of Winchelsea and Nottingham, his heirs and assigns for ever.-All my estate at Knapton, in the county of the city of York, after the determination of John Fuller's interest therein, to the said Daniel and his brother John Finch, their heirs and assigns for ever.-My estates at Belton, co.

TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN DEALTRY, M.D.

"Last Thursday (March 25), about noon, died suddenly, as he was visiting his patients, Dr. Dealtry, aged sixty-five ; whose learning, great skill and sagacity in the healing art, thro' a long and extensive course of practice, crown'd with success, justly procur'd him an uncommon degree of medical reputation, and render his death an unspeakable loss to the public. His social virtues make his loss irreparable to his friends, relations, and family, in particular to his amiable and disconsolate lady. His charitable assistance to the poor, humanity to his patients, with singular politeness to all, gain'd him universal esteem, and will endear his memory to posterity.

Flatt'ry avaunt ! can Science name the Man, Whose Loss was greater since her Reign began ?' " York Courant.

Dr. Dealtry lived in Lendal, in the house now appropriated to the

residence of the Judges of Assize, which was erected by another eminent physician, Dr. Clifton Wintringham. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Langley, esq. of Wykeham Abbey, co. York, and by her, who died in 1812 (see No. 267), had issue, a son Peregrine (see No. 269), and two daughters, Elizabeth and Jane.

Charles Cowper, M.A., rector of Oswaldkirk and Foston, co. York, prebendary of Riccall, and 33 years canon residentiary, died at his house in the Minster Yard, Feb. 22, 1774, aged 82.

He was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge. Ordained deacon at York 8 June, 1718, and priest 25 Sept., 1720. On 21 June, 1732 he was instituted to the rectory of Foston. On 28 Jan. 1735-6, he was collated to the stall of Riccall. On 18th Feb. 1743-4, he was instituted Succentor Canonicorum, which office he retained until his death. His

institution to the rectory of Oswaldkirk has not occurred to me.

In his will, dated 7 Oct. 1773 [Pro. 22 March seq.], Charles Cowper, clerk, canon residentiary of York, appoints his daughters, Ann, wife of the Rev. Thos. Eglin, and Martha *29 wife of the Rev. John Pigott, joint executrices, and leaves a legacy to Mr. Allanson Cowper of the Bank, London. The testator was succeeded n his rectory of Oswaldkirk by his son-in-law Pigott.

Charles Allanson, esq., M. P. for Ripon, died at Bramham Biggin on Sunday, Sept. 17th, aged 54, and was buried in the cathedral on Thurs day evening, Sept. 28th, 1775, with great funeral pomp. " The procession began at the Mount, without Micklegate Bar, in the following order.-First, two men with flambeaux -then followed Mr. Marshall, the undertaker, with a man with a flambeaux on each side-six tenants, three and three, with two men with flambeaux on each side-two men with small branches, with four wax tapers in each-six mutes, three and three, with two men with flambeaux on each side-two small branches, as before-two large branches, with eight tapers and a flambeaux in each -the hearse and six horses, cover'd with velvet, and adorned with silk escutcheons, etc.-six men with flambeaux on each side-four servants, two and two, with two men with flambeaux on each side-a mourning coach and six horses, with three men with flambeaux on each side four servants, with two men with flambeaux on each side-a mourning coach and six horses, with three men with flambeaux on each side-two servants, with a man with flambeaux on each side.-The procession closed with his tradesmen and men with flambeaux. At the upper end of Blake-street the whole dismounted, and walked from thence in the same order to the cathedral, where the funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Cayley, one of the residentiaries. The coffin was covered with Genoa velvet, and richly ornamented." (York Courant.)

Mr. Allanson was the only son of William Allanson, esq. of Sion, co. Middlesex, and great-great-grandson of Sir William Allanson, knight, lord mayor of York in 1633 and 1655, of whom an interesting memoir is given by Mr. Davies in " The Life of Marmaduke Rawdon, of Yorke " (ed. Camd. Soc., p. 125). He married, first, Mary, daughter of Daniel Turner, esq. M.D. She died s. p. in 1762, and was buried in the Minster (see No. 207). Secondly, in 1765, Elizabeth, eldest daughter and co-heiress of William Aislabie, esq. of Studley. She also died s. p. in 1808. At Mr. Allanson's decease his estates passed to his cousin George Winn, esq. of Little Warley, co. Essex (only son of Pelham Winn, esq. of South Ferriby, co. Linc., by Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Gilbert Wighton, by Elizabeth, sister of the above-named William Allanson, of Sion), who assumed the additional*30 surname of Allanson in 1776, and was made a baronet in the same year. In 1797, he was raised to the Irish peerage with the title of lord Headley, baron Allanson and Winn, of Agadoe, Co. Kerry. His great-nephew, Charles Allanson Winn, is the present lord Headley.

*29 In 1766, Charles Allanson, esq. of Bramham Biggin (see No. 218), bequeaths £1000. each to Anne and Martha Cowper, daughters of the Rev. Mr. Cowper of Oswaldkirk.

*30 According to Mr. Allanson's will, dated 29 Sept. 1766, he was to take and use the surname of Allanson only, but on 2 Nov. 1776, administration was granted to him as Sir George Allanson Winn, Bart.

Elizabeth Hassell, daughter of "Mrs. Jane Hasell ", who was buried here in 1745 (see No. 190), died unmarried 6 Feb. 1776. In her will, dated 1 July, 1759, she bequeaths all her lands, etc. at Ampleforth, Co. York, to her niece Dorothy Comber.-To the Blue Coat Boys' and Grey Coat Girls' Schools she leaves the sum of £40., and to the poor of Ampleforth and Oswaldkirk £30. She desires, "when I die, to be buried at the Minster at York, unless I should order it otherways." In a codicil, dated 8 May, 1771, she leaves £20. to the York County Hospital, and £5. to the poor of the Minster at York [Proved 14 March, 1776, and administration granted to her niece Dorothy, wife of the Rev. William Comber, clerk].

Mary, youngest daughter and coheiress of Anthony Wharton, esq. of Gilling-Wood Hall, Co. York (by Margaret, daughter of Sir William Hicks, bart., of Beverston Castle, Co. Glouc.), died unmarried, at her house in Micklegate, 21 May, 1776, aged 77. In a codicil to her will, dated 17th June, 1771, she desires to "be buried in the Minster very private, and none but my servants attend my funerall". Her freehold messuage, &c., in Micklegate she bequeaths to her sister Margaret Wharton, spinster, her heirs and assigns absolutely for ever.-This is the eccentric " Peg Pennyworth", who will occur afterwards. See No. 238.

Ann, widow of John Barker, upholsterer (see No. 215), and daughter of John Skilbeck of York, gent., died intestate 27 Oct. 1776, aged 67, and on 6 Dec. seq. administration of her effects was granted to Thos. Barker, esq., her son, and only next of kin.

Henrietta Digby, of Hutton Bushel, died at York, unmarried, on Sunday, Dec. 22nd (?) 1776, aged 65. She was one of the daughters of John Digby, esq. of Mansfield Woodhouse, Co. Notts, and coheiress (with Philadelphia, wife of Sir George Cayley, bart. of Brompton, Lucy, wife of George Osbaldeston, esq. of Hutton Bushel, Margaret, wife of George Cartwright, esq. of Ossington, and Frances, wife of Sir Thomas Legard, bart., of Ganton) of her brother John.

Her niece, Dorothy Cartwright, married, in 1756, Henry Willoughby, esq. of Birdsall, afterwards 5th baron Middleton, and was mother of Henrietta, countess of Scarborough (baptized in York Minster, 29 July, 1766), and Dorothy, wife of Richard Langley, esq. of Wykeham Abbey. See No. 278.

Canon Berdmore, who died at his house in the Minster Yard, was the son, I believe, of the Rev. Samuel Berdmore, rector of Cotgrave, co. Notts, and prebendary of Bugthorpe at York. He was ordained deacon by the bishop of St. Asaph, 6 March, 1736-7 (the curacy of Cotgrave giving him a title), and priest by the same, 20 March seq. On 22 March, 1736-7, he was collated to the vicarage of Bishopthorpe, and instituted to the perpetual curacy of Acaster Malbis, resigning both livings in 1758. In 1743 he was collated to the stall of Bugthorpe, void by the death of (his father ?) Samuel Berdmore. On 1 June, 1748, he was instituted to the rectory of St. Crux, York.

On 25 June, 1748, " the Revd Mr. William Berdmore, Rector of St. Crux in the City of York, & Mary Herring of the same city," were married at the Minster, by licence from Dr. William Herring, LL.D., father of the bride.

On 24 May, 1768, he was instituted to the vicarage of Ferry Fryston, and shortly afterwards to that of St. Martin's Coney-street, holding both livings until his death. " He was a gentleman of worth, genius and learning, and much respected by his parishioners and a numerous acquaintance." (York Courant.)

Mr. Bridges left a widow Mary, and a daughter Elizabeth, wife of the Rev. Thomas Roger Filewood, rector of Mickleham, co. Surrey. See Nos. 246, 256.

MARY HER SISTER
WHO IS INTERRED IN THE SAME VAULT
DIED MAY 21st, 1776, AGED 77.

The wealthy and eccentric Mrs. Margaret Wharton, of whom Hutton, in his " Trip to Coatham," gives some amusing anecdotes, and whose character is portrayed by Foote, in a farce called " Peg Pennyworth," by which name she was afterwards popularly known.

This singular lady derived her descent-as did also her noble contemporary, Hugh, duke of Northumberland -from an alderman of York, John Bean, inn-holder, lord mayor in 1545 and 1565, whose daughter Mary married at St. Martin's, Micklegate, 6 Aug. 1554, Anthony Wharton, esq. of Regell Grange, co. Westmerland. The freehold messuage in Micklegate, which Mary Wharton bequeathed to her sister Margaret in 1771 (see No. 220), and in which the latter resided for some years, had belonged to alderman Bean.

Mrs. Margaret Wharton is said to have attained the great age of 102 years (Minster Reg., Gent. Mag., 1791, Grainge's Yorkshire Longevity, &c.) Her epitaph, however, records that she died "inn the 97th Year of Her age," and the following extracts from the parish register of Low Leyton in Essex, kindly communicated by the Rev. John Pardoe, the vicar, tend to show that she was still younger :

" Anne ye Daughter of Anthony Wharton Esqire & Margaret, his wife", bap. 10 Aug. 1695.

" Margaret ye Daughter of Anthony Wharton Esqre & Margaret, his wife," bap. 24 April, 1697.

The above Anne, who was the eldest daughter of Mr. Wharton, married Ambrose Stevenson, esq. of the Manor House, co. Durham, and was mother of Ann, the wife of John Hall Stevenson, esq. of Skelton Castle, author of "Crazy Tales."
