In the middle Ile of this Church is thus written.

Trinitas in vnitate.

Here lies buried the body of Richard Hills, Mariner, one of the eldest Bro∣thers and Assistants of the Compa∣ny of the Trinity, and his two wives; who while hee lived in this place, gave liberally to the poore, and spent bountifully in his house: and after many great troubles, being of the age of 80. yeeres and upward, de∣parted this life without issue, upon the 16. of February, 1614.

This was made at the charge of Robert Bell.

Though Hills be dead, Hills Will and Act survives, His Free-Schoole, and his Pension for the poore; Thought on by him, performed by his Heire, For eight poore Sea-mens children, and no more.
