Balicourt, Long, and Watkins.
The Rev. Henry George Watkins, M.A., Vicar of Potter’s Bar, has in his possession a brass seal with arms, and around it is inscribed Sebast. Balicourt, 1684. He ​has also a portrait of M. Sebastian Balicourt, pasteur of Metz, born at Verdun in 1660. That intrepid minister preached in defiance of the Revocation Edict, but being pursued he concealed himself in the house of a friendly grocer, a New Catholic, who packed him up in a barrel with care, addressed to Berlin. He arrived safely, and ministered to the French refugees till his death on 4th February 1731. His son, Simon Balicourt, ultimately settled in England, and died in Wood Street, London, 1st December 1757.
