[P117]

HENRY KELSALL (of Reading)

Henry  Kelsall  of  Reading (circ 1470) was a clothier there but as his name and
those of his married sisters show was connected with East Cheshire.

He was made a burgess in 1475 and was elected to represent Reading in Parliament
in  1482.  He  died  in  1493.   His  will  directs  his body shall be buried in
St.Lawrence Reading on the W. of the 'altar  of  fern'.  He  bequeathed  to  his
brother  Thomas  K.  his lands at Reading and also lands at Southampton which he
had inherited from another brother Roger K. If Thomas K. dies, the estate was to
pass  to the next heir male of Thomas K. In default of these, to pass to the men
named to keep up a mass in the church.  In default the money to be given to  the
churchwardens  of  the Lady Chapel at Knottisford (Knutsford) Cheshire. Money is
left for a stone for himself and his wife Agnes.

Bequests to:
I   Margaret Bosden my sister and her daughters Maude and Margaret B.
II  Son and daughters of my brother Thomas K.
III Janet Twiston, my sister.
IV  Charles K., son of my brother Roger; Elizabeth K, daughter of Roger, and  to
    the "mynnchen" (Abbess) of Romsey, and Ann daughter, and Thomas K. a son -

V   Cousins at Knutsford, children of his sister Elizabeth Madox -

    "I  will  and  charge  that a tenor bell be made according to the four bells
    that now hang in the steeple of St.Lawrence Reading to the sum of     ,  the
    scripture to be made about the same bell "Henry, the bell of Fern".

The bell was erected 1498-99, and there is a record of its consecration -

Has  been subsequently recast but is still called 'Harry'. His grave stone still
exists, but has been much mutilated and the brass stolen. It was shown to me  in
1893  inside the church, under the tower over West Porch, on the right hand side
- no name.

From the Registers of the Church we find:

     1519 Randal Kelsalis modir [?] buried.
     1529 Randall Kelsall obiit
     1541 Elizabeth Kelsall (Kelmshall)

R.K. was probably a near relative, as he was specially excused fees  for  having
the bell rung -

        For these and further details vide History of St.Lawrence
        Reading by Rev. C. Kerry.
