though ordered to be repaired by Henry III., may not have remained in
such a dilapidated state in the time of Edw. II., that it may then have

_Walrond Family_ (Vol. ii., p. 134.).--Among my very numerous Notes
relating to the several families of this name, I find only the following
which appears likely to be of any interest to your correspondent in
connection with his Query.

"Mrs. Ureth, daughter of Lieut.-Col. Walrond, was married to
James Huish, Esq. of Sidbury, co. Devon, on the 25th July,
1684."

But it is probable that in so numerous a family there was more than one
colonel at that time. Your correspondent is, no doubt, aware that
Burke's _Landed Gentry_ states the names of the wife and children of
Colonel Humphrey Walrond, and that the monument of Humphrey Walrond,
Esq., who died in 1580, in the church of Ilminster, co. Somerset,
exhibits his coat armour quartering Polton, Fissacre, and Speke, and
impaling Popham and another coat, viz., Per fesse indented quarterly or
and sable, in each quarter an annulet counterchanged. This coat of arms
I shall be glad if your correspondent will enable me to assign to its
proper family.

S.S.S.
