Bevis Tower, science declares, was named probably after another Bevis--there was one at the Battle of Lewes, who took prisoner Richard, King of the Romans, and was knighted for it--while Arundel is a corruption of "hirondelle," a swallow.

Mr.Lower mentions that in recent times in Sussex "Swallow" was a common name in stables, even for heavy dray horses.

But before accepting finally the swallow theory, we ought to hear what Fuller has to say:--"Some will have it so named from _Arundel_ the _Horse_ of _Beavoice_, the great _Champion_.

I confess it is not without precedence in _Antiquity_ for _Places_ to take _names_ from _Horses_, meeting with the _Promontory Bucephalus_ in Peloponesus, where some report the _Horse_ of _Alexander_ buried, and Bellonius will have it for the same cause called _Cavalla_ at this day.

But this _Castle_ was so called long before that _Imaginary Horse_ was _foled_, who cannot be fancied elder than his Master Beavoice, flourishing after the Conquest, long before which _Arundel_ was so called from the river _Arund_ running hard by it."
