Description:Excerpt from Visitacion of Staffordschire The Visitation contained in the following pages was made by Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, as deputy to his father-in-law, William Flower, Norroy King of Arms. Glover, who was made Somerset Herald in 1571, was born at Ashford in Kent in 1543. Erdeswick styles him "the only sufficient man in his time for armorye and descents in this land," and Sir William Dugdale considered him "the best Herald that did ever belong to the office." So high was his reputation for professional skill and unwearied attention, that the contemporary provincial Kings of Arms sent him on several occasions to visit the counties in their marches; and, besides Staffordshire, he either visited or assisted in the Visitations of the several counties of Chester, Derby, Durham, Lancaster, Northumberland, and York. But his "Somer too soone set,"for he died at the early age of forty-five in 1588. The manuscript from which the Visitation here printed is transcribed is a small folio in the William Salt Library, which I have ventured to designate "The Stukeley MS." It has a somewhat curious history. Inside the cover is written in a large bold hand: "Wm Stukeley.This book I redeem'dfrom a shop whereit was to be usedas waste paper, 1756, and given to Eardley Wilmot." This is the handwriting of the learned antiquary Dr. William Stukeley, who was born in 1687, and died in 1765.
