Lyd.
Of Lyd I haue spoken a little in another place, yet here giue me leaue to speake a little more vpon further information.* 1.1 In this Church of Lyd were two Grauestones of Richard Dering, who dyed in the raigne of king Ri∣chard the second, and Thomas his sonne, one of them had faire portraitures with ornaments engrauen thereon: but the losse of some of the brasse, with the remote absence of his posterity, haue giuen occasion for another name to superscribe that stone; although at that time the best, if not the onely names of note and gentrie there, were Septuanus and Dering: at which time Dering was here owner of Westbrooke, and of Deuge Marsh place, which name hath beene of great and ancient possessions in Lyd, Midley, Prom∣hill, and old Rumney, whereof a part was the leuell of foure hundred Acres of land, called yet by the name of Derings: and on the other side of Lyd aboue threescore Acres by the name of Derings Droff. From hence Iohn Dering Esquire, in the time of Henry the seuenth, was taken out of his house and carried into France, from whence by ransome he freed himselfe.
