A little further the Tese receives the River Wellop or Wallop, upon which stand three Towns of that Name, Upper, Middle, and Nether [ ] Wallop, which give Name to a very ancient and honourable Family out of which have come several famous Men, and among others, Sir John Wallop, who with 800 Men only, landed in Normandy in 1513, burnt twenty one Towns, and all the French Ships in the Ports of Staples, Fraport, &c. And Mr. Wallop the Councellor, whom K. William III. made Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer, tho' he had by his Pleadings rendered himself obnoxious to the Displeasure of the Court in the two foregoing Reigns.
One of this Family, Robert Wallop Esq; siding with the Parliament in their Wars against King Charles I. and being something concerned in that King's Death, was with the Lord Monson and Sir Henry Mildmay, condemned to have his Estate confiscated, to be degraded from all Titles and Arms of Gentility, to be drawn from the Tower thro' the City to Tyburn on a Sledge, on Jan. 10, 1661. with an Halter about his Neck, and suffer Imprisonment for Life.
