POPES, (Hertfordshire) in the p. of Hatfield-Bishops, had that name from its ancient owners; from whom it passed to the
Stalworths, whose heirs sold it to Will. Tooke; and in 1664 it was sold to Step. Ewre and Josh. Lomax, who next year
conveyed it to Daniel Shauterden of Eltham in Kent; who sold it to colonel Tho. Taylor, and Taylor to Sir David Mitchel;
whose nephew, John Mitchel, was lately, if he be not still, the possessor.
