Bocton Malherb.
At Bocton Malherb, saith learned Clarentieux, hath dwelt a long time the familie of the Wottons, out of which in our remembrance flourished both Nicholas Wotton, Doctor of the Lawes, who being of the priuie Councell to king Henry the eighth, King Edward the sixth, Queene Mary, and Queene Elizabeth, sent in Embassage nine times to forraine Princes, and thrice chosen Committee about Peace betweene the English, French, and Scottish: liued a goodly time, and ranne a long race in this life with great commendation of pietie and wisedome: and also Sir Edward Wotton, whom for his approued wisedome in weightie affaires, Queene Elizabeth made Controller of her house, and King Iames created Baron Wotton of Merley. If you would know any more, reade Hollinshead, who hath written a Trea∣tise of this family from Richard Wotton, who flourished in the raigne of King Edward the first, vnto these Wottons, who yet do liue in our memory.
This Church is honoured with the sepulture of many of this noble pro∣genie, but I haue no inscription nor Epitaph for any, saue onely for him who was twice Lord Maior of London. The first time in the third yeare of king Henry the fifth: the second in the ninth of king Henry the sixth.
Here lyeth Nicholas Wotton Esquire. ...twice Lord Maior of London. ....who was borne the 26. of October, 1372. and dyed Septem. 14. 1448. ....being 76. yeares of age.
