Extract

At your suggestion, I have lately obtained for the British Museum an object of some interest, which has proved to be the Stall-plate of Sir William Parr, K.G., Marquis of Northampton, and brother to Queen Katherine Parr.

It is a quadrangular plate of copper, gilt and enamelled, on which are engraved the arms of Parr with their quarterings.

It relates to a treaty of marriage between Katherine Parr and Lord Scrope's son, in which she shewed herself worthy of the encomium passed upon her by Lord Dacre— “the wisdome of my seid lady (Parr) and the god wise stok of the Grenes, whereof she is comen.” Some notices of the Parr family may be found in the Topographer and Genealogist, vol. iii. p. 352.
