Note 118b — Chapter XVII · MARTYRDOM OF DERYK [118b] CARVER.

By reference to the signatures of the principal inhabitants to the “Auncient Customs,” Page 37, it will be seen that this is the orthography of the name, as written by the son of the martyr. And it is fair to presume that at the time of his signature, 1580, he was a person of no mean importance, and had a vanity that his name should be correctly spelt, as he is the only person who inscribed to the document, that prefixed Mr. to his signature. Fox writes it Derrick. The breweries established next after Carver’s, were the Ship Street Brewery, by Wichelo, known in modern times as Wigney’s Brewery, now no longer in existence; and West Street Brewery, by Mighell, now the extensive establishment of Messrs. Vallance & Catt.
