Southwell's residence at St. Faith's has now quite disappeared. The old hall at Bowthorpe was replaced by a new house about the year 1660, when the property passed away from the Yaxley family, but the hall at Melton still stands, and so does the picturesque old hall at Cossey, though now reduced to insignificance by the glorious modern mansion. ^ Every one of these county squires was a conscientious Catholic, and every one of them was suffering for the sake of his religion at the time that Gera...rd passed by on his way to Norwich. The Recusant gentry in Norfolk were not all treated with equal severity : a great deal depended upon the power of a man's friends in high quarters — not that the Eecusants ever escaped altogether from pains and penalties, but that the laws were so outrageously tyrannical that they did not bear being carried out with full rigour against any but a minority, upon whom extreme measures might be tried with safety — with this minority it was only a question of time when they would find themselves stripped of their lands and turned out into the world as beggars.
