PREFACE.

THE Council of the Society have much pleasure in
presenting the Twelfth Volume of the Journal to the
Members, with the hope that the Contents will shew no
falling off in interest and value.

The Yorkshire Deeds, for which the Society is indebted
to the kindness of Lord Grantley and Mr. Thomas Brooke,
F.S.A., are of great value, and are being carefully edited
by the practised skill of Mr. A. S. Ellis.

The History of the Wentworths of Woolley was placed
at the disposal of the Council by Miss Wentworth, who has
given every possible assistance in preparing it for the press;
the letters of the great Lord Strafford alone would have
justified the publication of this memoir.

The paper on the Brasses of the East Riding is a model
for all such papers, and it is intended, with the assistance
of Mr. Mill Stephenson, to continue the series to the North
and West Ridings,

The Council trust that the enlargement of the basis of
the Society, testified by its recent incorporation, will ensure
for the future Volumes of the Journal a continuance of that
cordial co-operation of Yorkshire Antiquaries and of all
who take pride in the History of the County, which has
hitherto been so cheerfully accorded.

The Writers alone are responsible for the opinions
contained in this Volume.
