Page 153 note 3 Of his parents' fourteen children he was the fifth surviving Son. All the Sons bore their Father's name, Edward, in addition to their other Christian names. Sir Bartle Frere was, in accordance with the custom in his family, baptized on the day of his birth.
Page 154 note 1 Vide Les Conquérants d'Angleterre. Robert Malet founded the Priory of Eye (Suffolk), in the Records of which mention is made of John le Frere as ‘Vavasseur’, and Tenant of lands in Eye.
In the pedigrees and deeds of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the name of Frere is written ‘le Frere,’ but as early as the third year of Edward III. (A.D. 1330) the Norman article had been dropped. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the same branch of the family spelt the name indifferently ffrere, Frere, Fryer, Frier, Freer.
Page 154 note 2 Richard le Frere purchased land in the parish of Sawbridgeworth in the Hundred of Braughling, Herts, in 1197—but he and his descendants not being Lords of the Manor, are difficult to trace. There is no proof of their being a branch of the Norfolk and Suffolk Freres. [Vide Cussan's, J. E.Hist, of Hertfordshire, published by Austin, S., Hertford, 1870, p. 79Google Scholar .]

The Will of Alex'. Frere of Occold, Esqre, is dated 1471 [Norwich Registry].
Page 155 note 1 The name of John Frier occurs among the 250 recipients of the first Charter constituting the East India Company, to which John Frere, ‘apparently the same person’, subscribed £250. The Harleston branch of the family emigrated to Barbadoes in the seventeenth century. In political opposition to the rest of the family, they were strong Parliamentarians, of whom the most prominent was Tobias (described in Royalist lampoons as a vehement partisan of the Roundheads). He was M. P. in Cromwell's second Parliament, and Secretary of the Committee of Sequestrations for the county of Norfolk and city of Norwich. His branch of the family terminated in an heiress who married Francis Longe of Spixworth (Norfolk), Esqre, whose family quarter the arms of Frere. In 1655 Captain Tobias Frere, Thomas Frere, and others, having petitioned the Council of State, obtained from the Lord Protector an order for 200 cases of pistols, 372 carbines, and 600 swords to be delivered out of the Tower for the use of Barbadoes. John Frere was Governor of Barbadoes circa 1720, and Henry Frere in 1790.
Page 155 note 2 The last male representative of the family in England, Captain John Hatley, R.N., first cousin to Susanna (Hatley) Frere, died unmarried in 1832, and is buried at Ipswich. He had sailed as midshipman on board the ‘Resolution’ with Captain Cook on his last voyage of discovery in 1776. A branch of the Hatleys emigrated to America, where they are still represented by their descendants, the Nortons of Boston, Virginia, U.S.A.
Page 156 note 1 Whether Gundrada was, as Speed maintains, fourth Daughter to Queen Matilda, and William the Conqueror, or daughter to Queen Matilda (the Conqueror's wife and third cousin) by a previous marriage, is discussed in the note on the marriage of the Conqueror in Mr. Freeman's third volume of the History of the Norman Conquest. (Clarendon Press, Edition MDCCCLXIX. Note N.) Mr. Freeman inclines to the latter view, but admits that the case cannot be said to be proved. Mr. Stapleton, quoted by Mr. Freeman, takes one view in this controversy, and Sir F. Palgrave the opposite.
On Gundrada's tombstone at Southover near Lewes the epitaph runs thus: ‘Stirps Gundrada Ducum decus evi nobile germen,’ &c. The word Ducum' is maintained by some to allude solely to Gundrada's maternal descent from the Counts of Flanders, of whose ‘mighty house’ Mr. Freeman says: ‘No line was so exalted as that of the Count of Flanders, which by successive intermarriages could boast of a descent from the Kings of Wessex, Italy, and Burgundy, and from the Imperial stock of the Great Charles’ (Freeman Vol. III. p. 81.) They also claimed descent (vide Will, of Poictiers, &c.) from the Emperors of Constantinople and the East.
Page 156 note 2 By this line of ancestry, Sir Bartle Frere was thirty-six generations in direct descent from Charlemagne, and thirty-two generations in direct descent from Alfred the Great: being directly descended from Gundrada's eldest son William de Warren, who married the Daughter and Heiress of the Earl of Vermandoize.
Gundrada's Daughter, Lady Adeline de Warren, who married Prince Henry of Scotland, was direct ancestress (by four generations) to K. Robert the Bruce, and is ancestress to the Dukes of Sutherland, Balfours of Burleigh, Sinclairs of Ubster, and many other illustrious Scotch families.
Page 157 note 1 From the Reynolds the Paston Letters passed into the possession of the Frere family. Some of these were published by Sir John Fenn (who had married Eleanor, daughter of Sheppard Frere, in 1766), the originals being presented to King George III.; some were sold to the University of Cambridge, where they still remain, and others are still at Roydon, unpublished.
Page 157 note 2 This noble family claims descent from Herveus Bituricensis (of Berri) of Domesday Book, who appears to have been identical with the Lord of St. Aignan in Bern, also Baron of Donzi subsequent to 1112. After the Domesday Survey he. received very large grants of lands in Lancashire which had been Earl Tostig's. The first of the name that is known was Count Hervey. In consequence of the ravages of the Normans in the neighbourhood of Nantes, Poitou, Anjou, and the Touraine, Rainulph Duke of Aquitaine, Duke Robert-le-Fort (Marquis and Count of France, and Ancestor of Hugh Capet), and Counts Godfrey and Hervey marched against them. Duke Robert-le-Fort was killed, and Count Hervey wounded or killed in giving them battle, A.D. 868. Eighteen years later ‘in the terrible siege of Paris by these barbarians’ in the reign of Charles-le Gros, King of France, when Counts Odo and Robert (son of Robert-le-Fort) valiantly defended the Capital, a tower in the fortifications that was held by twelve Franks became isolated, the bridge connecting it with Paris having been swept away by a sudden rise of the Seine. It was fiercely attacked by the Normans, and as fiercely defended, until being set on fire by the besiegers, the eleven survivors of the Frank garrison (for one had been already drowned in the Seine) were compelled to surrender, on promise of their lives being spared. The Normans slew all save Eriveus (Hervey), whom they spared on account of his good looks—albeit he taunted them with their treachery, and urged them to slay him also.
Thus did our Norman and Frank ancestors do their utmost to exterminate each other—but the wheel of destiny goes round, and it was as Norman nobles following a Norman Duke that the Herveys invaded England 200 years later, and as such that they received from the first Norman King of England the lands of the Saxon Tostig.
Page 157 note 3 Daughter to Thomas and Keziah [Hervey] Tyrrell, of Gipping; who was 10th child of Sir William Hervey and Lady Penelope, Daughter of Thomas Earl of Rivers and Widow to Sir John Gage, Bart., and sixteenth in descent from Herveus Bituricensis. Both Mother and Daughter are buried at Ickworth.
Page 158 note 1 During which time, as family records tell, his sister, Miss Eleanor Frere, never appeared in church without a handsome posy or badge of the Tory colours, which was visible to the entire congregation, when, service being over, she stood up in her pew, as was the fashion for ladies of her day, to receive the morning greetings of her friends and neighbours before leaving the church.
Page 158 note 2 Her Majesty, upon one of her progresses, being at the house of her Lord Chief Justice, suggested as a pastime that the ladies should toss pancakes, herself also taking part in the trial of skill. Mistress Flowerdew excelled the rest, and received from the Queen the promised prize to be conferred on the most able performer—a small kerchief broidered with seed-pearls which the Queen wore round her neck, and the little knots of seed pearls that adorned the front of her gown. Of these the kerchief, and three knots of the pearls, remain as heirlooms in the Frere family. Another version of the story runs that Mistress Flowerdew was showing the Queen how to make pancakes, and the fire being very warm the Queen feared she might afterwards take cold, and taking off her little kerchief threw it over Mistress Flowerdew's shoulders.
Page 159 note 1 Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Under-Reader of Greek. His silver divining cup was in Mrs. Frere's possession, and bequeathed by her at her death to her youngest Son. His ‘crystal ball’ and magic mirror are now in the British Museum. He travelled to lecture on Euclid in Paris, and was in favour with Queen Elizabeth, who made him Chancellor of St. Paul's Cathedral, and with her whole court and Privy Council visited him at Mortlake, also honouring him with interviews at Whitehall, Windsor, and Richmond; and whose horoscope he cast. In 1583 his house was ransacked by the mob, and his library of 4,000 volumes destroyed, upon the supposition that he had dealings with the devil. Camden calls him ‘Nobilis Mathematicus,’ and his Diary has been published by the Camden Society.

Page 160 note 1 The Greenes were traditionally reputed to be descended from a branch of the ancient family of Greene, of Greene's Norton and Boughton, Northamptonshire, of whom, says a county history, ‘There were six Sir Thomas in succession in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Two of them were Lords Chief Justices of England in the reign of Edward III., and they held a large number of manors. The line ended in two co-Heiresses, one of whom married a Vaux of Harrowden. Catharine Parr's mother was a Greene.’
Mrs. Edward Frere had one Brother, Edward, who died young, and three Sislers—Arabella, m. P. R. Hoare, of Luscombe, Devon, and Kelsey Manor, Kent, Esqre; d. leaving issue: Charlotte Alice, of Porth Mawr, Co. Brecon; m. I., R. Wilkins, Esqre; and II., Edward Seymour, Esqre, R.N. d.s.p.: Angelina Frances; m. G. M. Hoaie, of Mordon Hall, Surrey, Esqre; d. leaving issue.
Page 161 note 1 Humphrey Chetham and his elder Brother James were descended from Galfridus de Chetham, a man of great consequence and several times Sheriff of Lancaster, temp. Hen. III. From him descended Chetham of Chetham, Crumpsall, Nuthurst, Clayton and Turton, Lancashire, whose Great-grandson was Henry Chetham, Father to Humphrey. Many of the family are buried in the Lady Chapel of Manchester Cathedral, where the Font was presented as a Memorial of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Frere by their children.
Page 161 note 2 Some of the very many sources from which the above information is summarised or quoted include Hume's ‘Hist. England,’ Freeman's ‘Norman Conquest,’ the ‘Memoir of the Right Hon. John Hookham Frere,’ by his Nephew the Right Hon. Sir Bartle Frere, Bart., prefixed to his Works, 2nd Edn. B. M. Pickering, 1874; the ‘Frere Pedigree’ College of Arms; ‘Pedigree of the Family of Frere of Roydon in Norfolk, and Finningham in Suffolk,’ compiled by George Frere, Esq., and privately printed; ‘Pedigree of the Family of Frere of Roydon in Norfolk, and Finningham in Suffolk,’ compiled by Horace Frere, Esqre, which contains much valuable information collected from MSS. in the British Museum, Monumental Records, Parish Registers, Registers of Wills at Norwich, Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds, &c, privately printed, 1874; the ‘Visitation of Suffolk 1561,’ Visitation of the County of Suffolk, 1664, MSS. family papers and documents at Roydon Hall, Wressil Lodge, and in the possession of many members of the Frere family, also the Pedigrees of Jenkins of Carog, the Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair of Ubster, Bart, the Rev. Sir Vyell Vyvyan of Trelowarren, Bart; ‘The Hervey Pedigree’ (Bristol, Marquess), privately printed; and a very interesting paper on the Family of Hervey published in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology by its President the Rt. Rev. Lord Arthur Hervey, the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, October 2, 1856.
I would remind non-genealogists that every Family represents numerous extinct Families, the records of whom being merged in those of their later representatives, are often neglected or forgotten; and that the additional information, on such a subject, that might be acquired by antiquarian research, is practically unlimited. It may be also noted that one person may be variously descended through different lines from one Ancestor, each line furnishing an equally correct, though different version of his descent.
Any further information regarding the Families mentioned will be gladly received by me. That quoted is, to the best of my knowledge, accurate.

Page 166 note 1 It is narrated of Mr. Greene, that in paying the post-boy when changing horses at an Inn, he habitually showed the courtesy for which he was famous, by taking off his hat to him and making him a low bow, thanking him at the same time for having ‘brought him so far in safety’
Page 167 note 1 At Llanelly Church there was one service on each Sundany, the services being alternate Sundays in Welsh and English. On the ‘Welsh’ Sundays Mr. Frere read the Church prayers at home, to his family, and such of the household as did not understand Welsh.

Page 168 note 1 Molly took no small pride in her long Welsh pedigree, professing herself much aggrieved when His Majesty King George IV. came to Wales that he did not come and see her—‘who was descended from so many of his cousins the early Welsh Princes!’ Molly had been ‘Sewing Maid’ at Llansanfraed, and was thence promoted to be Maid and Nurse. Of her sayings some were probably well-known adages, others the result of her own observation—as, of the improbability of finding a reputable member in a disreputable family: ‘You don't often find a tame Duck in a wild Duck's nest.’ Of children: ‘They’ re careful (i.e. anxious) comforts!' Of a foolish person: ‘He's not Solomon's eldest son.’ Of rumours and slanders: ‘There's some folk will say anything but their Prayers!’ Molly lived to a great age. She married, firstly, Jarrett, a Charcoal-Finer at Llanelly Forge; and, secondly, Morgan, one of the Clydach Grooms, and died and was buried at Llanelly. Sir Bartle Frere always spoke of her with the greatest regard and affection. He took his Wife and Child down to Wales to see her when he first returned from India; she had died before he returned to England for the second time.
Page 172 note 1 The annual cost of instruction of a Day Scholar at the Bath Grammar School in 1827 was £16 or £17, a large sum at that date. The cost for a Day Scholar at the same school now is £12 per annum, which includes £3 for Greek.
Page 172 note 2 Of the books of Travels that he had read before he was twelve years old, he in after life could only remember the names of some, of which he noted down the following:—
Brace's ‘Travels.’
Acerbi's ‘Travels in Norway.’
Horneman's ‘Travels.’
Burckhardt's ‘Travels in Arabia.’
Cook's ‘Voyages.’
Anson's ‘Voyages.’
Dampier's ‘Voyages.’
Bligh's ‘Voyage of the Bounty.’
Macartney's ‘Embassy to China.’
Herne's ‘North America.’

Shaw's ‘Travels in Barbary.’
Ferris's ‘Collection of Voyages and Travels.’
Daniel's ‘Field Sports in the East.’
Clarke's ‘Travels.’
Pallasser's ‘Travels.’
‘Robinson Crusoe.’
‘Penrose's Journal’ (Castaway West Indies). The author, a sailor, died at Bristol. The main incidents in the book were real events in his own life. Of this book the Rt. Hon. J. H. Frere told his nephew that he considered it the only imitation of Robinson Crusoe he had ever met with that at all approached it in interest.
‘Gulliver's Travels.’
‘Travels of Silvester Tramper.’
‘Wonders of Nature and Art.’
Levaillant's ‘Travels.’
Percy's ‘Reliques of Ancient Poetry,’ and the travels of Lieut. J. B. Holman, R. N., a blind traveller in Russia, were also among the favourite books of himself and his Sister at this date.
Page 173 note 1 The Rev. Joseph Hunter was at one time a Unitarian minister. He subsequently became a Churchman. He was in his later years a Sub-Keeper of the Public Records.
Page 174 note 1 Bitton Rectory. This grey gabled stone Gloucestershire house, with its long walk where flowers blossomed as they did no otherwhere, and its sombre yew trees, with the splendid church towering behind it, and the Brook and Mead blazing with kingcups and crocuses in front, was formerly owned by a branch of the mighty house of Seymour; this had dwindled, however, in prosperity until it was represented by two Brothers, who were little more than Farmers or Drovers. One of these having taken cattle in to sell at Bristol (market), quarrelled with his Brother on his return home as to the price he had received for them, and in a fit of fury shot him in a small powdering-closet opening out of one of the bedrooms. His Brother fell mortally wounded, and the murderer, flinging away his gun under the yew trees at the end of the long-walk, mounted his horse and rode to Bristol. He was pursued, and detected by having given gold in payment at the turnpike he had passed on his way. He was tried, condemned to death, and executed; but the family interest was strong enough to enable his relatives to procure possession of his body after execution,, and he and the brother he killed are buried together under the altar of the Church of St. Mary at Bitton. The last descendant of their race, an old woman named Dinah Hard-wicke, died at Bitton a few years ago. Adjoining the Rectory is the former Vicarage, and a great tithing-barn, formerly used by my Father and his Brother Richard as a lathe-room. Mr. and Mrs. Frere are buried in Bitton churchyard. Two of their Daughters to whom memorial windows are placed in the church are also buried at Bitton. Beyond the churchyard are the Bitton Almshouses built by my Father's Brothers and Sisters, as a memorial to their Parents, and towards the building of which he gave the ground.
Page 175 note 1 Mr. E. Frere predeceased his eldest brother, and therefore never inherited Roydon; his eldest surviving son subsequently succeeded to it.

Page 179 note 1 The following summary of his work at College is extracted from the Hailey-bury Class Lists of that date:—

Term ending December, 1832.
Prize in English Composition.
Prize in Drawing.
And ‘Highly Distinguished’ in other departments.
Total number of Students in College this Term, 32.
Term ending May, 1833.
Prize in Mathematics.
Second Prize in Law.
Prize for best English Essay.
Prize in Drawing.
And ‘Highly Distinguished’ in other departments.
Total number of Students in College this Term, 27.
Term ending December, 1833.
Gold Medal in Classics.
Gold Medal in Law.
Second Prize in Mathematics.
Prize in Drawing.
And ‘Great Credit’ in other departments.
Total number of Students in College this Term, 30.
Left at the end of his third term, December 1833. [No Student was admitted to Haileybury before he was sixteen, nor allowed to leave before he was eighteen years of age and had been at least two Terms at College. Men spent usually three or four Terms at College. But if they entered at seventeen years of age, they were allowed to leave at the end of their second Term, if they had passed a sufficiently high examination.
It was only Students too young to leave at the end of their third Term who had to remain for a fourth, unless they failed to pass the examination with any degree of credit.
A student who could pass the second Term Examination with a Certificate of ‘Highly Distinguished’ could leave, if eighteen years old, as Mr. Bartle Frere could have done, had he not preferred to remain.
A Medal was never given to any Student leaving before the end of his third Term, and only conferred on Students on their leaving College.
It was a remarkable thing that at the end of 1833, all the fourth Term, all but four of the third Term, and all but two of the second Term Students passed out of College.]
‘Frere left College as a 1st Class Man, and ranked as 1st for Bombay.’
Page 180 note 1 These essays Dean Jeremie had bound, as he usually had those that were considered by him of special importance by his favourite pupils. He pointed to some books high up on his bookshelves, in Lincoln, when Sir Bartle Frere went to call on him there in 1868, and said to him, ‘Do you remember your English Essays? There they are.’ He had expressed his intention of making Sir Bartle Frere his literary heir, but I believe no written record of such wish was ever found, and after his death his library was sold and dispersed; and though I have endeavoured to do so, I was never able to trace the ultimate fate of the essays.
