Autobiography Simon D'Ewes. 05 Oct 1622. Upon Saturday, the 5th day of the said October, came my father with his family to London; and on Tuesday, the 15th day of the same month, I was admitted into the best part of my chamber, to which belonged a very fair and pleasant study; and I had a new chamber-fellow admitted into that which had formerly been my part. This gave me much content, and was a special furtherance to my studies for the time to come; beginning also myself, this term, to go to the Court of Star Chamber on Wednesdays and Fridays, in the forenoon, and to take notes of such cases as I heard there adjudged. On Monday, at night, November the 18th, after supper, our reader of New Inn, as be was accustomed in term-time, went thither to argue a case, or moot-point, with two students only of the same Temple, and I making one, performed the exercise with good success, this being the second public law-case I argued. The third being more difficult than either of the former, soon after followed, on Thursday, the 12th day of December, when I argued a like moot-point in our Middle Temple Hall, in law-French, after supper to my good content.

Evelyn's Diary. 05 Oct 1647. I came to Wotton, Surrey [Map], the place of my birth, to my brother (age 30), and on the 10th to Hampton Court [Map] where I had the honor to kiss his Majesty's (age 46) hand, and give him an account of several things I had in charge, he being now in the power of those execrable villains who not long after murdered him. I lay at my cousin, Sergeant Hatton's at Thames Ditton, Surrey [Map], whence, on the 13th, I went to London.

Evelyn's Diary. 05 Oct 1649. Dined with Sir George Ratcliffe, the great favorite of the late Earl of Stratford, formerly Lord Deputy of Ireland, decapitated.

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1663. Up with pain, and with Sir J. Minnes (age 64) by coach to the Temple [Map], and then I to my brother's, and up and down on business, and so to the New Exchange, and there met Creed, and he and I walked two or three hours, talking of many businesses, especially about Tangier [Map], and my Lord Tiviot's bringing in of high accounts, and yet if they were higher are like to pass without exception, and then of my Lord Sandwich (age 38) sending a messenger to know whether the King (age 33) intends to come to Newmarket, Suffolk, as is talked, that he may be ready to entertain him at Hinchingbroke [Map].

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1664. And thither anon come all the Gresham College, and a great deal of noble company: and the new instrument was brought called the Arched Viall¹, where being tuned with lute-strings, and played on with kees like an organ, a piece of parchment is always kept moving; and the strings, which by the kees are pressed down upon it, are grated in imitation of a bow, by the parchment; and so it is intended to resemble several vyalls played on with one bow, but so basely and harshly, that it will never do. But after three hours' stay it could not be fixed in tune; and so they were fain to go to some other musique of instruments, which I am grown quite out of love with, and so I, after some good discourse with Mr. Spong, Hill, Grant (age 44), and Dr. Whistler, and others by turns, I home to my office and there late, and so home, where I understand my wife has spoke to Jane and ended matters of difference between her and her, and she stays with us, which I am glad of; for her fault is nothing but sleepiness and forgetfulness, otherwise a good-natured, quiet, well-meaning, honest servant, and one that will do as she is bid, so one called upon her and will see her do it.

Note 1. "There seems to be a curious fate reigning over the instruments which have the word 'arch' prefixed to their name. They have no vitality, and somehow or other come to grief. Even the famous archlute, which was still a living thing in the time of Handel, has now disappeared from the concert room and joined Mr. Pepys's 'Arched Viall' in the limbo of things forgotten.... Mr. Pepys's verdict that it would never do... has been fully confirmed by the event, as his predictions usually were, being indeed always founded on calm judgment and close observation". B. (Hueffer's Italian and other Studies, 1883, p. 263).

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1665. I abroad to the office and thence to the Duke of Albemarle (age 56), all my way reading a book of Mr. Evelyn's (age 44) translating and sending me as a present, about directions for gathering a Library¹ but the book is above my reach, but his epistle to my Chancellor (age 56) is a very fine piece.

Note 1. Instructions concerning erecting of a Library, presented to my Lord the President De Mesme by Gilbert Naudeus, and now interpreted by Jo. Evelyn, Esquire. London, 1661: This little book was dedicated to Lord Clarendon by the translator. It was printed while Evelyn was abroad, and is full of typographical errors; these are corrected in a copy mentioned in Evelyn's "Miscellaneous Writings", 1825, p. xii, where a letter to Dr. GoDolphin on the subject is printed.

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1666. Up, and with my father talking awhile, then to the office, and there troubled with a message from Lord Peterborough (age 44) about money; but I did give as kind answer as I could, though I hate him. Then to Sir G. Carteret (age 56) to discourse about paying of part of the great ships come in, and so home again to compare the comparison of the two Dutch wars' charges for Sir W. Coventry (age 38), and then by water (and saw old Mr. Michell digging like a painfull father for his son) to him, and find him at dinner.

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1666. After dinner to look over my papers, and comparing them with some notes of his and brought me, the sight of some good Navy notes of his which I shall get. Then examined and liked well my notes, and away together to White Hall, in the way discoursing the inconvenience of the King's being thus subject to an account, but it will be remedied for the time to come, he thinks, if we can get this over, and I find he will have the Comptroller's business better done, swearing he will never be for a wit to be employed on business again.

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1666. Thence I home, and back again to White Hall, and meeting Sir H. Cholmly (age 34) to White Hall; there walked till night that the Committee come down, and there Sir W. Coventry (age 38) tells me that the Subcommittee have made their report to the Grand Committee, and in pretty kind terms, and have agreed upon allowing us £4 per head, which I am sure will do the business, but he had endeavoured to have got more, but this do well, and he and I are both mighty glad it is come to this, and the heat of the present business seems almost over. But I have more worke cut out for me, to prepare a list of the extraordinaries, not to be included within the £4, against Monday.

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1666. So I away from him, and met with the Vice-Chamberlain (age 56), and I told him when I had this evening in coming hither met with Captain Cocke (age 49), and he told me of a wild motion made in the House of Lords by the Duke of Buckingham (age 38) for all men that had cheated the King (age 36) to be declared traitors and felons, and that my Lord Sandwich (age 41) was named. This put me into a great pain, so the Vice-Chamberlain (age 56), who had heard nothing of it, having been all day in the City, away with me to White Hall; and there come to me and told me that, upon Lord Ashly's (age 45) asking their direction whether, being a peere, he should bring in his accounts to the Commons, which they did give way to, the Duke of Buckingham (age 38) did move that, for the time to come, what I have written above might be declared by some fuller law than heretofore. Lord Ashly (age 45) answered, that it was not the fault of the present laws, but want of proof; and so said the Chancellor (age 57). He answered, that a better law, he thought, might be made so the House laughing, did refer it to him to bring in a Bill to that purpose, and this was all.

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1667. Up, and to the Office; and there all the morning; none but my Lord Anglesey (age 53) and myself; but much surprized with the news of the death of Sir W. Batten (age 66), who died this morning, having been but two days sick. Sir W. Pen (age 46) and I did dispatch a letter this morning to Sir W. Coventry (age 39), to recommend Colonel Middleton, who we think a most honest and understanding man, and fit for that place. Sir G. Carteret (age 57) did also come this morning, and walked with me in the garden; and concluded not to concern [himself] or have any advice made to Sir W. Coventry (age 39), in behalf of my Lord Sandwich's (age 42) business; so I do rest satisfied, though I do think they are all mad, that they will judge Sir W. Coventry (age 39) an enemy, when he is indeed no such man to any body, but is severe and just, as he ought to be, where he sees things ill done.

Pepy's Diary. 05 Oct 1667. At noon home, and by coach to Temple Bar to a India shop, and there bought a gown and sash, which cost me 26s., and so she [Mrs. Pepys] and Willet away to the 'Change [Map], and I to my Lord Crew (age 69), and there met my Lord Hinchingbrooke (age 19) and Lady Jemimah, and there dined with them and my Lord, where pretty merry, and after dinner my Lord Crew (age 69) and Hinchingbroke [Map] and myself went aside to discourse about my Lord Sandwich's (age 42) business, which is in a very ill state for want of money, and so parted, and I to my tailor's, and there took up my wife and Willet, who staid there for me, and to the Duke of York's playhouse, but the house so full, it being a new play, "The Coffe House", that we could not get in, and so to the King's house: and there, going in, met with Knepp, and she took us up into the tireing-rooms: and to the women's shift, where Nell (age 17) was dressing herself, and was all unready, and is very pretty, prettier than I thought.

Roger Whitley's Diary. 05 Oct 1690. Sonday, I went to church in the morning; soe did Bidolph, Sydney & Swetnam; Tomkinson went about 9 towards Dysert & to the Audit; Morgan & Huson came in the afternoone to prepare for the Audit; Mosse, Ward & Barber were with me, at night, discoursing of work.

On 05 Oct 1698. Theophilus Hastings 7th Earl Huntingdon (age 47) wrote to Grinling Gibbons (age 50): "I desire you to forbear the carving of the arms till you have finished the rest of the monument, and to not go about them till you first aquaint me".

Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine Volume 1955 V56 Page 4-11. The barrow was opened on Monday, October 5th, 1807, and the exceptionally large number of eight men was employed for ten days. During this time Hoare seems to have visited it only once. In the early part of the week he was exploring Roman remains near Marlborough, and on the 9th drove to Everley, where he met Cunnington (whom in the diary he calls his Magnus Apollo) and went riding with him in search of barrows and earthworks. On the 10th he drove to Marden and saw the work in progress; but a fall of sand when the floor was nearly uncovered interrupted it; and he records in his diary "I left Marden and ascended the chalk hills," and after visiting a number of earthworks, "returned to Everley, gratified and benefited as usual by my ride amongst the Britons."

Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine 1885 V22 Pages 234-238. "Monday, 5 October [1807]. Sessions opened. Walked with Rev. Mr. Francis, of Mildenhall, to a spot where several remarkable Roman antiquities have been discovered. This field is situated just beyond the first milestone, on the left of the road to London — it is a pasture land and has produced many skeletons — and Roman coins are daily found by the labourers employed in digging and sifting gravel. The field is called St. Margaret's Mead. The Rev. Mr. Francis showed me a great many coins of Diocletian, Antoninus, and others, found here — also fragments of black and red glazed Roman pottery, a small brass key, another article with a grotesque head of an animal — hollow, like a spout — also an interment or sacrifice of the bones of a cock and a cat — the leg with the spur attached to it of the former, and the jaw and teeth of the latter. A most singular vessel was found there about the year 1807, and the mutilated fragments are still preserved by Mr. Francis, who procured an exact drawing to be made of it immediately after its discovery. It was made of thick oak wood ribbed with iron hoops, had two iron handles and plated with thin brass on which are embossed various devices. An iron hollow bar goes across the two uprights A and B — it contained some burnt human bones, which seem to prove its having been formerly appropriated to sepulchral uses. Near it was found a perfect and beautiful little cup similar in design to the one lately discovered near Boreham, Warminster, and given by Mr. Cunnington to Miss Bennet, of that place — it varies however in having six instead of four indentations, and has a mixture of red with the black, resembling bronze Mr. Francis has kindly promised to send me more particular accounts in writing of the time when these discoveries were made. He has had a plan made of the grounds, one of which is called "Barrow Field" from a tumulus he remembered once there.

Thomas Bateman 1846. Upon reopening the remains of a barrow [Garratts Piece Barrow [Map]] upon Middleton Moor, explored by Dr. Pegge in 1788, on the 5th of October, 1847, a few small articles were recovered which indicate that the tumulus existed in times long anterior to the deposit of the very remarkable Saxon antiquities therein discovered and described in the earlier part of this section and which farther tend to strengthen the idea that in this part of the country there exist no barrows purely of Saxon origin. The articles with, the exception only of some fragments of light-coloured kiln-baked pottery, are of Celtic manufacture and usage, consisting of pieces of stags' horns, instruments of flint, amongst which was one of elongated shape very neatly chipped; and, lastly, remains of bone instruments, one of the latter presenting a very neat example of the lance-head of that material, being nicely worked into form out of the leg-bone of some small animal. Similar points are seen to some of the arrows brought from New Zealand.
