On the South side of the Chancell, in a little part of this Church, called The Saltars Chappell, is a very faire Window, with the Portraiture or Fi∣gure of him that gave it, very curiously wrought upon it, with this Inscrip∣tion:

Thomas Beamont Salter, the Founder of this Chapell, and a worthy Benefactor to the Company of the Salters. 1629. This Window being then erected.

In the midst of this little Chappell, in a faire Marble Tombe, this man with his two wives lies interred. The words round about this Tombe, with the Verses, you may reade in page 391.

To the sacred Memory▪

Of that worthy and faithfull Minister of Christ, Master Richard Stocke, who after 32. yeeres spent in the Ministery, wherein by his learned Labours, joyn'd with Wisdome, and a most holy life, Gods glory was much advanced, his Church edified, Piety increased, and the true honour of a Pastors place main∣tained, deceased Aprill, 20. 1626. Some of his loving Parishoners have consecrated this Monument of their never-dying love, Ian. 28. 1628.

His situs exanimis Stocki sub pulvere Truncus, Quem quondam agnovit Pastorem Ecclesia Fidum: Istae suum nunc Sancta tenent Habitacula Sanctum, Quo Magn Vs Pan DV Cit oVes oVi Vmque magIstros.
Thy livelesse Trunke (O Reverend Stocke) Like Aarons Rod sprouts out againe, And after two full Winters past, Yeelds Blossomes and ripe fruit amaine.
For why, this worke of Piety, Performed by some of thy Flocke, To thy dead Corps and sacred Vrne, Is but the fruit of this old Stocke.

He departed this life the 14. of October, 1625. being of the age of 58. yeeres.
