On the South side of the Chancell,
in a little part of this Church, called
The Saltars Chappell, is a very faire

wrought upon it, with this Inscrip∣tion:

of this Chapell, and a worthy Benefactor
to the Company of the Salters. 1629.

In the midst of this little Chappell,
in a faire Marble Tombe, this man
