This pencase, of leather, or cuir bouilli, ornamented with gilt roses and crowns, was left by King Henry VI. at Waddington Hall, the seat of the Tempests, soon after the disastrous battle of Hexham, in 1463.

His lineal descendant, Mr. Thomas Lister Parker, of Brewsholme, presented this pencilcase to the present possessor. A print of this curious relic has been published by Mr. Shaw, in the second volume of his "Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages". The Hon. R. Curzon, jun.'.
