Sir Henry Spellman

When his daughter-in-law (Sir John's wife) returned home from visiting her neighbours, he would always ask her what of antiquity she had heard or observed, and if she brought home no such account, he would chide her (jestingly). He said to Sir William Dugdale, we are beholding to Mr. Speed and Stowe for stitching up for us our English History. It seems they were both taylers.
