Yarmouth.
* 1.1This Towne is beautified with a spatious faire Church, hauing a won∣drous high Spire Steeple, built by Herbert the first Bishop of Norwich, in the raigne of William Rufus. All the funerall Monuments of antiquitie in this Church, are vtterly defaced; Inscription nor Epitaph now remaining, except that this may passe current for one.
* 1.2Elyn Benaker, mercy dooth craue,God on her Sowl mercy more haue.
In the three and twentieth yeare of King Edward the Third, happened a most grieuous and lamentable Plague in this Towne, which brought (within the compasse of one yeare) seauen thousand,* 1.3 fiftie, and two per∣sons, to their graues: the which is witnessed by an ancient Latin Chrono∣graphicall Table, hanging vp in the Church. The Parsonage which was yearely worth before the sicknesse, seuen hundred Markes, was afterwards scarse worth forty pound by yeare.
* 1.4The bodies of all the dead were buried in the Church and Church∣yard, and in such and such places of the same, as the Townesmen can shew you at this day.
