blance in person and sympathy of
affection subsisted, as scarcely to have
been paralleled in any other instance.
Risden, in his survey of Devon, re-
lates the following singular facts re-
garding them. " Nicholas and An-
drew Tremayne were twins and
younger sons of Thomas Tremayne,
esq. of Cullacumbe, in this county ;
they were so like in all their linea-
ments, so equal in statures, so co-
loured in hair, and of such resem-
blance in face and gesture, that they
could not be known the one from the
other ; no not by their parents, bre-
thren, or sisters, but privately by some
secret mark, or openly by wearing
some several coloured ribond or the
like : which in sport, they would
sometimes change to make trial of
their friends' judgments, which would
often occasion many mirthful mis-
takes. Yet somewhat more strange
it was, that they agreed in mind and
affection as much as in body ; for what
one loved, the other desired ; so on
the contrary, the loathing of the one
was the dislike of the other. Yea !
such a consideration of inbred power
and sympathy was in their natures,
that if Nicholas was sick and grieved,
Andrew felt the like pain, though
they were far distant and remote from
each other ; this too without any in-
telligence given unto either party.
And what is farther observable, if

Andrew was merry, Nicholas was so
affected although in different places ;
which they could not long endure to
be, for they ever desired to eat, drink,
sleep, and wake together. Yea! so they
lived and so they died. In the year
1564 they both served in the wars at
Newhaven, in France (now better
known by the name of Havre de
Grace), where in this they something
differed (though it heing in that which
was without them, was not much in
them) that the one was a captain of
a troop of horse, and the other a pri-
vate soldier ; but still with the same
sympathy of affection. Being both
to ti e last degree brave, they put
themselves into posts of greatest ha-
zard. At length one of the brothers
was slain, and the other instantly
stepped into his place, and there in
the midst of danger, no persuasion
being able to remove him, he was also
slain."*

WELD, lijts Eminence Caroinal THOMAS, of Lulworth Castle, in the county of Dor-
set, b. 22nd January, 1773. This distinguished prelate,
prior to taking; orders in the church of Rome, espoused

Clifford, by whom he had an only daughter,

Mary-Lucy, m. in 1818, to Hugh-Charles, present
Lord Clifford, of Chudleigh, and died in May,
1831, leaving issue.

Upon the decease of his wife, Mr. Weld became a Ro-
man Catholic clergy-man, and was soon afterwards pro-
moted to a bishopric. He obtained a cardinal's hat in
1829. His Eminence has for several years devoted his
time, and large fortune entirely to the wants and services
of the unfortunate, and has justly acquired the highest
reputation for piety and benevolence. Mr. Weld is the
first Englishman who has had a seat in the Conclave
since the pontificate of Clement IX. He inherited his
paternal estates at the decease of his father in 1810.






Hmcaaf.



The family of Weld is presumed to de-
rm* from Edrick, sumamed Wild, or Syl-
\aticus, who was nephew to Edric, Duke
of Mercia, husband of Edina, daughter of
King Ethelred. From him descended

This gentleman was governor of Portland
Castle. He purchased in 1641, from the
Howard family, the Manor of Lulworth,*



The first possessors of this manor are said to
have been the de Lolleworths ; but the powerful
family of the Newbubghs held it as early as the
reign of John. Christian, the sole heiress of
Sir Roger Newburgh, carried the estate in 1514,
to her husband, Sir John Marney, Lord Marney,
and her second daughter, and eventual heiress,
Elizabeth Marney, marrying Thomas, Lord
Howard, of Bindon, conveyed it, with several
other considerable estates in Dorsetshire, amongst
which was the manor of Bindon, to the Howards,
from whom, as stated above, it was purchased in
1611, by Humphrey Weld.

county of Dorset. He m. Clare, youngest
daughter of Thomas, Lord Arundel, of War-

ion



Mr. Weld " lived," says Hutchins, " in
great credit and hospitality at Luhvorth,
maintaining a good correspondence and har-
mony with the neighbouring gentry and
clergy, nor did difference of opinion create
reserve or distance ; although he ever be-
haved as a peaceful subject, he was ordered
into custody in 1745, on account of his name
being mentioned in a treasonable anonymous
letter dropped near Poole ; but his imme-
diate and honourable discharge is the most
convincing proof of his innocence." He d.
8th December, 1761 , and was s. by his eldest
son,

Edward Weld, esq. of Luhvorth, b. in
1741 ; to. first, in 1763, Juliana, daugh-
ter of Robert, Lord Petre ; and espoused,
secondly, in 1775, Mary-Anne, youngest
daughter of Walter Smythe, esq. of Bram-
bridge, in the county of Hants, but had no
issue. He d. in 1775, and his widow mar-
ried Thomas Fitzherbert, esq. of Swin-
nerton, whom she survived, and has since
held a distinguished place in society as Mrs.
Fitzherbert. Mr. Weld was s. by his
only surviving brother,

Sir John Stanley Massey-Stanley, bart. of

* Within the ground of Lulworth Mr. Weld
afforded an asylum to the Monks of Le Tkapp,
when those austere brothers were driven from
France by the revolution. The following account
of this monastery is extracted from the " Monthly
Magazine" of October, 1800, and from the " Gen-
tleman's Magazine of 1813. " I paid a short
visit in the course of last summer to Lulworth
Castle, the seat of Mr. Weld. At eight o'clock,
of a pleasant morning in the beginning of July, I
left Dorchester, in company with two other gen-
tlemen, one of whom had previously visited the
monastery, and kindly undertook the office of
guide. After a ride of about eleven miles over
downs, covered with flocks of sheep, we declined
on the right into a small valley, overhung with
woods. The view at the extremity of this valley
is beautifully terminated by the English Channel,
and in its centre stands Lulworth Castle, an
antique Gothic edifice, consisting of four round
towers, connected by as many curtains. As
strangers are permitted to see the inside of this
castle, we alighted at the principal entrance, on
each side of which are two Latin inscriptions ;
the one commemorating the extended toleration
granted to the Roman catholics in 1780, the other
recording a visit from his majesty King George
III. with which Mr. Weld was honoured. After
gratifying ourselves bv an inspection of the edi-
fice, we proceeded through the fields for about a
mile, before we reached the monastery. This
building is constructed of very rude materials,
and in a very rude manner. The grounds at-
tached are about one hundred acres, which are
cultivated by the monks, with the assistance of a
carter and his boy. The community rise at one
o'clock in the morning, winter and summer ; the
choir brothers then begin their devotions, and
continue in the chapel until nine, when each goes
to some manual labour, in the garden, on the
roads, or the grounds, until eleven, when there is
a short service, which lasts about half an hour.
Then to labour again until half past one, when
they return to prayers for half an hour, and are
then summoned to their frugal meal. After this
meal is over, the only one which they have during
the four-and-twentv hours, they return thanks to
God, and adjourn to the chapter room, where they
continue to read or meditate until the dav is
nearly over, when they once more go to prayers,
and retire to their dormitories about eight o'clock,
having spent the whole day in abstinence, morti-
fication, labour, silence, and praver. Every suc-
ceeding day, like the former, continually hastening
the grave that lies open. The severity of this rigid
order requires no common devotee ; perpetual si-
lence restrains them in the greatest enjoyment of
life, perpetual abstinence, mortification, and pe-
nance, poverty and prayer, seem more than human
nature is capable of undergoing, and unless the
minds of the religious were buoyed up by the fer-

He succeeded to the estates at the decease of his father in 1781, and served the
office of sheriff of the county of York, in 1784.

Mary, daughter of Robert Tanfield, of Dan-
by, and had with other issue,

William, Lord of Danby, and Yafford,
who m. the heiress of John Fretvile,

who m. the heiress of John Ays-

daughter of Ralph Fitz-Randal, and se-

vour of their devotions, they could not keep them-
selves alive. They abstain wholly from meat, fish,
and fowl, and, during Lent, from butter, milk,
eggs, and cheese. They seem, nevertheless, per-
fectly content. The monks observe perpetual
silence, scarcely even look at each other, and
never speak but to the prior, and then only upon
urgent occasions. They never wander from their
convent without permission of their superior,
but go each morning cheerfully to such work as
they are directed to perform. As we passed these
poor, humble, unoffending monks at their work,
they received us with courtesy and humility, but
never spoke. The most perfect silence and tran-
quillity reigned throughout this little vale, with
nothing to interrupt it but the convent bell, and
the dashing of the waves upon the shore : even
the winds of heaven are restrained from visiting
this place too roughly, for the down protects it
from their fury."

In 1142, De Clare, Earl of Gloucester, took
the castle of Lullward for the Empress Maud.



In 1615, when King James I. came to hunt in the
park and Isle of Purbeck, he was hospitably en-
tertained at the castle of Lulworth, as were also,
