Goddard Brass in Aldbourn Church.

HE Goddard brass, a plate of which is given in the present number of our Magazine, was recently discovered in the Upham Aisle of Aldbourn Church in this county, on removing some decayed pew floors. From a comparison of dates, as well as from the style of the dress, and the pedigree of the Goddard Family supplied in "Burke's Landed Gentry," it is, most likely, a memorial of Richard Goddard of Upham, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Walrond, Esq., of Aldbourn, and had by her three sons and one daughter. There are "matrices" of other smaller brasses, probably shields of arms, at the foot of the slab, but as they are lost, no evidence can be obtained from arms in support of the above opinion.

Against the wall immediately above the place where this brass was discovered, is a monument to the memory of a Goddard, his wife, three sons and one daughter. At the top are the usual Goddard arms, quartering either what is a second coat of Goddard (granted in 1536 to William Goddard, and mentioned in Burke's Armoury, as the arms of Goddard of London, and East WoodHay, co. Hants); or, it is the record of a Goddard marriage with an heiress of the same name, but of a different family. Other shields of arms, once on this monument, are now quite obliterated; and the monument itself bears no inscription. The figures of father, mother, three sons and daughter, are kneeling in order.

The Rev. Francis Goddard, Vicar of Hilmarton, who has with considerable labour collected all particulars relative to Goddard pedigree, says that "The monument with figures at Aldbourn is believed to be that of Thomas Goddard, his second wife, and their children his will dated 1609." The style of dress would decide the question. As regards the brass there can be little doubt; and we may consider it a valuable addition to the collections of Wilts Brasses so carefully made and published with so much good taste by Mr. Edward Kite of Devizes, a few years since; a work with which, all the members of the Wilts Archæological Society are probably acquainted.

Richard Goddard of Upham, named on the brass, was, no doubt, the donor of the tenor bell in Aldbourn Church. See Wiltshire Magazine, vol. ii., p. 67.

The translation of the inscription is as follows:—

day

"Here lies Richard Goddard, formerly of Upham, and Elizabeth his wife, which same Richard died - A.D. 14—, and the aforesaid Elizabeth died July 14th, A.D. 1482, on whose souls God have mercy. Amen."
