216 THE ESSEX NATURALIST.
In a separate panel is the portrait of a lady which Lady Lloyd says is
Mary, the wife of Sir Eliab Harvey. It is evident, however, that she is
wearing a dress of the same period as the rest of the family, so that she
is probably Amye (1596-1645), the daughter of Joane Halke, and sister
to the men of the family. She marriad George Fowke in 1615 and was
the mother of children, but beyond this nothing is known about her.
I always feel that this painting is of a very Channing and delightful lady.
I cannot but feel that this group of family portraits is intensely
interesting. The various members of the Harvey family were as remark-
able for their mutual affection as for their quick tempers. William
Harvey, even when he became old and irritable, found a warm welcome
with Daniel and Eliab, and his will shows that he wished every member
of the family, even down to his godchildren, to have some souvenir,
no matter how small, by which he might be remembered.
On the left of the fireplace is a portrait of a gentleman in the dress
of Charles II's time. I cannot but think this must be Sir Eliab Harvey
of the Restoration period, and the heir of Eliab.
The family group in the dress of Queen Anne period is signed by-
Sir Godfrey Kneller. The man in the picture is possibly the grand-
father of Admiral Harvey ; anyhow, I should think he is the man who
built the room in 1700. There are also portraits of three ladies in the
dress of the eighteenth century, and finally, a portrait of a gentleman in
the dress of Queen Anne's period.
All the portraits in this room are reproduced in autotype on the left-
hand side wall of the hall of the Royal College of Physicians in Pall Mall.
Passing along the shrubbery path, called the "Admiral's Walk,''
after that Admiral Harvey of whom we had just been hearing, the public
road was regained and a further half-mile brought us to Chigwell village,
where tea was taken in the so-called "Chester Room" of the "King's
Head" inn.
After tea the School, founded by Archbishop Harsnett in 1629, was
visited, Mr. Fellows, the second master, acting as a most efficient guide ;
the original schoolroom, the Headmaster's Dining Room with its typical
"Adams" mantelpiece and frieze, the Chapel, built as a memorial to
old Chigwell boys killed in the Great War of 1914-18, and the Assembly
Hall were in turn inspected. In the last named a formal meeting of the
Club was held, with Miss G. Lister, vice-president, in the Chair, when
the East Ham Central Public Library (Mr. O. W. Stone, librarian) was elected
an Institutional Member of the Club, and a cordial vote of thanks was
passed to Mr. Fellows for his instructive guidance.
Followed a visit to the near by Church, where, in the absence of the
vicar, Mr. Salmon read a brief account of the architectural features of
the building and some time was profitably spent in inspecting the many
memorials of past worthies, the magnificent brass to Archbishop Harsnett,
once vicar of Chigwell, claiming chief attention.
At about 6.30 o'clock the party dispersed, after a most enjoyable day.
The Club has visited Chigwell on several previous occasions, and
much additional information concerning it is given in the reports of
those visits, given in the Club's Journ. of Proceed., II, p. xxxiv, and in
the Essex Naturalist, vol. xvii, p. 113.
