	GREY DOLPHIN, A LEGEND OF SHEPPET.
		The Baron's beard was peaked; and his mustaches, stiff and stumpy, projected horizontally like those of a Tom Cat; he twirled the one, he stroked the other, he drew the buckle of his surcingle a thought tighter, and strode down the great staircase three steps at a stride.
		The Baron paused; his great soul was not to be shaken by trifles; he looked around him, and solemnly ejaculated the word "Humbug!"--then slinging the bridle across his arm, walked slowly on in the direction of the castle.
		In the abbey-church at Minster may yet be seen the tomb of a recumbent warrior, clad in the chainmail of the 13th century.

	Minster Abbey - Legend
		The story which survives today is that the baron, having, in a moment of anger, slain a monk who dared to disobey him on an important occasion and fearing the consequences of his terrible crime, resolved forthwith to supplicate the king for mercy, as such a sacrilegious act was accounted an almost unpardonable one.
		Naturally the baron was enraged, and doubly so when he turned round and espied, once more, that same old hag of twelve months agone, grinning at him in a hideous fashion.
		She told the baron that the bony mass, which he had unearthed with his kick was the skeleton head of 'Grey Dolphin', and fiercely reminding him of her prophecy, she vanished.

		Farmer also mentions that the Holmeses were descended from the Conynghams, family of the marquess of Conyngham and the Baron Minster of Minster Abbey in Kent.

		Twenty-one men and women from Iwerne Minster and Sutton Waldron never returned and he led the village in a subscription fund to build the memorial cross designed by Sir Gilbert Scott.
		A practical example of his concern for those who did return was Charlie Brooks; he had lost a leg and Ismay had him trained as a barber, a role he served in the village for many years.

		The Baron was going to throw the shells at his head; but paused in the act, and said with much dignity, "Turn out the fellow's pockets!" But the defunct had before been subjected to the double scrutiny of Father Fothergill and the Clerk of St. Bridget's.
		So the Baron called for his Sunday hauberk of Milan steel, and his great two-handed sword with the terrible name:--it was the fashion in feudal times to give names to swords: King Arthur's was christened Excalibar; the Baron called his Tickletoby, and whenever he took it in hand, it was no joke.
		Rapidly dismounting the Baron was loosening the girths of his demi- pique, to give the panting animal breath, when he was aware of as ugly an old woman as he ever clapped eyes upon, peeping at him under the horse's belly.

	Minster Lovell
		Adjacent to the River Windrush, the village of Minster Lovell dates from Saxon times when it would have straddled the border between Wessex and Mercia.
		The village originated as "Minster" in the twelfth century but it was nearly 200 years before it took on a more profound and subsequently famous role as the manor of William Lovell, Lord of the Manor of Minster Lovell and the seventh Baron, when he returned from service in France and settled in the village.
		Henry VII visited the manor on three occasions - 1493, 1497 and 1503, having, meanwhile, given it to the Duke of York who was then only 4 years old and who was later to become Henry VIII in 1509.
