Saint Leonards Shordich.

So called of the Sordiches Lords thereof:* 1.1 one of which familie, namely, Sir Iohn Sordich knight, flourished in the raigne of king Edward the third; as appeares by this deed of grant to his Chaplaine William Croston, here re∣sident.

Ann. Reg. Regis Edwardi tertij duodecimo. This knight serued in the warres vnder Ed. the third in France; and is remembred in our Annals, Ann. 14. Ed. 3.

Vnder this defaced Monument, Sir Iohn Erlington knight, with Marga∣ret his wife, daughter and heire to Thomas Lord Itchingham, widow to William Blount, sonne and heire to Walter Blount, the first Lord Mount∣ioy, lye entombed.

In this Church diuers honourable persons lie buried, of whom (because they dyed but in these later dayes) I shall speake hereafter. The plates with the Inscriptions of such Monuments as were of more Antiquitie, were all taken away for couetousnesse of the brasse, by one Doctor Hanmer (as I haue it by relation of the Inhabitants) Vicar of this Church, which he con∣uerted into coine, and presently after (ashamed belike of such a detestable act) went ouer into Ireland, and there ignominiously ended his dayes.
