Notes and Queries, Number 189, June 11, 1853

To the list of churches having detached towers may be added the church of Chittlehampton, near South Molton, Devon. It is several years since I last visited the spot, but I have a distinct recollection of the fact.

    J. Sansom.

Amongst your list of towers separate from the church, I think you have not mentioned Westbury on Severn, near Gloucester.

    H. H. Gibbs.

Add to your list of Detached Church Towers, the magnificent Norman tower at Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk.

Vincent Family (Vol. vii., p. 501.).—The representative of Augustine Vincent is Thomas Wentworth Edmunds of Worsbro', W. Barnsley, in the county of York, the son of the late Wm. Bennet Martin of the same place, Esq., who has assumed the name of his great-uncle, Francis Offley Edmunds. There is a memoir of Augustine Vincent, by Mr. Hunter, published, I believe, by Pickering, Piccadilly, which shows the descent, and may perhaps throw light on Francis Vincent. The name, I believe, is still common at Finedon in Northamptonshire.

    F. O. Martin.

Stoudon Place, Brentwood.

Pronunciation of "Coke" (Vol. vi., p. 16.).—In a list of books "printed and sold by Richard Chiswell," at the end of a copy of Cave's Lives of the Fathers, 1683, in my possession, the following occurs among the folios: "Lord Cook's Reports in English." This is exactly fifty years after his death.

Query. The quotation

"Heu quanto minus reliquis versari," &c.

is from Shenstone's Epitaph on Miss Dolman. See "N. & Q." Vol. iv., p. 73.

F. B. The etymology of Apron is very doubtful. Minshew and others derive it from afore one; while Todd again derives it from the French napperon.
