“ The school education of Temple Chevallier was obtained at Bury St. Edmund’s and at Ipswich. At the University of Cambridge he had an eminent career. He took his first degree with honours as Second Wrangler. He was ordained as a clergyman in 1820, and proceeded to the degree of B.D. He was Vicar of the Parish of St. Andrew the Great in Cambridge, and Fellow and Tutor of St. Catherine Hall. In one year he was examiner both in Classics and Mathematics; “he is the only man who has been thus distinguished.” ”

“ Temple Chevallier, of Aspal — so styled in 1796. Next we find the Rev. Temple Fishe Chevallier, Rector of Badingham, in Suffolk [son of the above?] ; he married Sarah Edgecumbe. Mrs. Chevallier gave birth, on 19th October 1794, to twin sons — (1) Temple, (2) Richard Edgecumbe, and they were baptized privately the same day. I am not informed as to the younger son, but I am now to give a memoir of Temple, [1] who, though he may have seemed delicate when new-born, did, by “reason of strength,” reach the verge of fourscore years. ”

“ His eldest son, John Patterson Cobbold, Esq., M.P. (born 1831, died 1875) , had a son and heir, John Dupuis Cobbold, born in 1861, who is now of Holywells, Wise Bishop, and Capel Hall, and was one of his grandfather’s executors. The other executors were the testator’s sons, Thomas Clement Cobbold, C.B., born 1833 ”
