MONUMENTA Westmonasteriensia, OR AN Historical Account OF THE Original, Increase, and present State OF St. PETER's, &c.

§. 1. AMong particular Fami∣lies* 1.1 and Generations of Men, those Genealogies and descents have been esteemed the most Noble and Illustrious which carry with them the greatest certainty of their existence for many Ages. So sumptuous Buildings and Religious Structures are in nothing more valued and set by, or sooner in∣vite the Eye of the curious Passenger to behold them, than when they bear

an outward shew and appearaece of venerable Age and reverend Antiqui∣ty: If therefore so great Honour and Renown be acquired by the real Anti∣quity of the first, and Respect by the seeming appearance of the last; I doubt not, That this Edifice of St. PETER's* 1.2 or the Abby Church of Westminster (which I have undertaken for my Pro∣vince at this time) will want either; as being attended with all these invi∣ting circumstances. For if we behold the Fabrick as it now stands, nothing so intire in this our Nation can seem more Venerable and Antique, or if we dive into her Histories and Records, we shall find those who have asserted her Original to bear date almost with Christianity it self, and that the Apostle St. PETER was the first who Erected* 1.3 a Christian Oratory or Chappel here: But upon what probable conjectures or humane certainties they have grounded this their Opinion, it is not my inten∣tion at present to discuss.

§. 2. Let it therefore suffice that about the latter end of the Second Age, we want not Authorities of good Cre∣dit and Reputation, who tell us; That

LUCIUS King of the Britans, who* 1.4 ruled here by permission of the Ro∣mans, having relinquished his Pagan Superstition and Heathen Idolatry, and imbraced the true Faith of CHRIST, sought as much as in him lay to Esta∣blish this his new Belief over all his Do∣minions, and as means conducing there∣unto commanded, That the Heathen and Idolatrous Temples should be abo∣lished, and in their rooms Christian and Religious Structures Erected, and that in this place where our Church of Westminster now stands, a Christian Oratory was Built by him and Dedi∣cated to St. Peter. But when the Per∣secution under Dioclesian and Maxi∣minian, the one in the East and the other in the West, grew so large and exten∣sive that it stretched it self to the re∣motest parts of the Roman Empire, and coming into Britain, became so violent and resistless that ev'ry where the Chri∣stians were put to death with most un∣heard of Cruelties and exquisite Tor∣ments, the Women deflowred, the* 1.5 Churches subverted, and in their places Temples again Erected to the Gods of the Heathen. This Church built here by Lucius, after one hundred and

thirty years, was immediately pulled down and turned into a prophane Tem∣ple of Apollo, so that in the same place where God had been devoutly worship∣ed before in his own Church, Idola∣trous abominations were afterwards performed, the place losing the memo∣ry of its former Christian Inhabitants became the head and principal seat where Pagans exercised their execrable Superstitions.

§. 3. How long this Temple of A∣pollo* 1.6 continued, or by what means it came to be destroyed: whether decay∣ed for want of those necessary repara∣tions which are requisite towards the support of such Structures? or that it fell down, and was overturned as some think by an Earthquake? I cannot be certain: For we hear no more thereof for almost three hundred years, and then we find it utterly subverted altogether in its ruins, and the place so overgrown with Briars and Thorns, with the Ri∣ver of Thames flowing about it; That the Saxons who were now the Inhabi∣tants, had given it a Name suitable to its new condition by calling it Thorney Island, or the Island of Thorns. Here

it was and on those Ruins of Apollo's Temple that Segebert or Sebert King of* 1.7 the East-Saxons, soon after his Conver∣sion to Christianity and his being Bap∣tized by the hands of Augustine the Mong, commanded another Noble Edi∣fice and Christian Church should be Erected and Dedicated to the remem∣brance of its former Patron St. Peter. And that there might not be wanting a sufficient number of Religious Persons continually to attend the Celebration of the Holy Sacraments and Services of this Church: He was at the same time induced by the persuasion of Mellitus who was then Bishop of London, to Build an adjoyning Covent, and libe∣rally to indow it for their better sup∣port* 1.8 and maintenance: which from the scituation thereof and in opposition to another that was placed on the East side of the City of London took the name of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is, the West-Monastery or Minster, as it is called at this day. Of the famed Miracle and Story of the wonderful Consecration of this Church at that time by St. Peter himself who list to read, may find it writ by AELRED Abbot of Rivauloe, in the Life of EDWARD the Confes∣sor,

as likewise in BARONIUS and ALFORDUS in their Ecclesiastical Annals, Bishop USHER in his rise and original of the Churches of Great Bri∣tain, with others.

§. 4. This Church and Monastery,* 1.9 with many more, was cruelly harrased and destroyed by fire, with all the Monks therein slain some Ages after the first institution, by the outrage of the barbarous and inhumane Danes, and so continued desolate and forsaken un∣till the days of King EDGAR, by whose care and bounty it was again new cased and re-edified, and by the vigilance of St. DUNSTAN, supplied with a small number of Monks of the Order of St. BENEDICT, set∣ting over them for their chief Gover∣nour or Abbot, the Bishop WOLSINE, who by his exemplary holiness and piety gat himself the renown of being placed in the Kalendar for a Saint; he died and was buried here, saith Mat∣thew of Westminster, about the year nine hundred fifty eight.

§. 5. Afterwards, when King ED∣WARD* 1.10 the Confessor came from his exile out of Normandy, and calling to mind the vows and promises he had then made to Almighty God in case of his restauration, grew much troubled, that having been some time in England, he had so long neglected to perform the same; wherefore he called an Assembly or Convocation both of his Clergy and Nobility, and related to them his intention of visiting the chief Pastor of the Church, and his going to Rome, according to the tenor of those Vows and Promises: But this resolution of his was diverted by the earnest intrea∣ties, and persuasions of his Subjects, who having but newly recovered a little breath from their former grie∣vances and oppressions, were fearful upon his so sudden departure that their peace might be disturbed, and themselves relapse again under their old burthens and vexations, so that laying before him (even with tears in their eyes, and hearts full of sorrow) the imminent danger the Common∣wealth must inevitably fall into upon his removal or withdrawing, sought

with all their endeavours that other measures might be taken, wherein him∣self might not be altogether disquieted for the non-performance of his Pro∣mises, nor they absolutely ruined by his absence. And therefore with all diligence Embassadors were dispatched away to the Bishop of Rome, who ha∣ving related the case, and procured a Breve from the Papacy for the dispen∣sation with the said Vows, they re∣turned again to their disconsolate Ma∣ster, informing him of their success, and the imposition injoyned him in lieu of his Promise, viz. That all the expences that he had prepared for his Journey should be distributed among the poor and indigent; and that he should build a new, or repair some old Monastery, to the honour of St. PETER.

§. 6. This then was the occasion that our old ruined Abby, (founded by King SEBERT, destroyed by the Danes, and re-edified by King ED∣GAR) now fallen into great decay, was thought on as a place most proper for such an undertaking; but much sooner was the performance thereof

put in execution, and the design ac∣complished, when this pious King un∣derstood that it was the express will and command of St. PETER himself that he should do so. If you will be∣lieve those who report that WULFI∣NUS (a man whose austerity of life and retirement from the world had gained him the reputation of being no small Prophet among his brethren) had orders in a vision to inform him.* 1.11 With all alacrity therefore he set him∣self to the work, commanding that his Estate, either in Gold, Silver, Jewels, or Possessions should be de∣cimated, and appropriated to the pul∣ling down the old ruined Church of King SEBERT, and the erecting a most stately Edifice in the place there∣of. He removed the Parish Church of St. MARGARETS (which then stood in the Cloisters of the old Abby) and built another in the Church-yard,* 1.12 that he might make more room for this his magnificent foundation, for as such it was reputed by those who were eye∣witnesses of it, which for august maje∣sty and excellent contrivance that Age could not parallel, affording a pattern of framing Churches in the figure of

a Cross, which in succeeding times was emulated (saith WILLIAM of Malms∣bury) with incredible expences. For the greater honour of this new erected Fabrick, in imitation of the glorious Emperour CONSTANTINE (as the learned SPELMAN observes) he cal∣led together an Assembly of all his chief Clergy and Nobility, that they* 1.13 might be present on the day of the solemn dedication of this Church, and witnesses of his Princely bounty and liberal Magnificence, which was shewn by the endowing it with large Posses∣sions, adorning it with high privi∣ledges, and exemptions, making it a perpetual Sanctuary, and habitation for Benedictine Monks (which he* 1.14 brought from Exeter and placed here) who should be subject to no other per∣son but to the King only. To these he confirmed it to be the place for ever (as it had been aforetime) of the Kings Constitution and Consecration; the Repository of the Royal Crown and Ensigns of Majesty; and gave to∣wards* 1.15 the same several rich Vestments, golden Crows and Scepters, a Dalma∣tick embroidered Pall, a pair of Spurs, Linnen Gloves, a Tortois-shell Comb

set in Gold, a Chalice made of an Onyx stone, bound about the foot with a Patten thereunto all of pure Gold, with some other Royal Gifts and Per∣quisites to be used on the days of the Inauguration or Coronation of our Kings and Queens, many of them re∣maining at this day preserved, and in the custody of the Dean and Chapter of* 1.16 this Church. All these Possessions, Pri∣viledges, and rich Gifts were ratified at the same time by his signing and sea∣ling three Royal Charters, and getting them confirmed by the Bishop of Rome, whose Bull was inserted in the body of the Great Charter according to the custom of that Age. After all* 1.17 which he fell sick, and soon after died, and was buried according to his desire in this his new Church of Westminster.

§. 7. One hundred and threescore* 1.18 years had now passed from the time of King EDWARD the Confessor, (during which space all the Kings and Queens of England had not been sparing in their Liberalities whilst living, nor forget∣ful by their Legacies when dead, to increase and multiply the Revenues of

this Monastery) when HENRY III. King of England, commanded the old Fabrick of King EDWARD to be ta∣ken down, and out of the largeness of his Princely mind, began part of that work which is now standing, laying the first stone thereof in the year 1220. and as an addition thereunto built a particular Chappel at the East end, and dedicated it to the Virgin Mary. But such was his misfortune at this time, that having begun a work, so ample and large, that it exceeded the bounds and incomes of his revenue, he was for∣ced to have recourse to means not alto∣gether so honourable as he could have wished to finish the same. For by a wile or stratagem he procured money of the Citizens of London, with which, and by the help of the Monks, (who very much enlarged it towards the West) at length, after fifty years time, and a won∣derful charge, it was finished.

§. 8. But long had not this Church* 1.19 of King HENRY continued, when a sudden fire hapning in the Palace hard by, and the wind driving the devou∣ring flames towards the Abby, it took hold of the Church, whereby the

Roof, which was then covered with Lead, and all the Timber therein was consumed, leaving nothing but the bare Walls as a mournful remembrance of its former splendour; which by the assistance of King EDWARD I. and II. with the help of the Abbots was again repaired, some of whom were especi∣al Builders and Benefactors to this Monastery.

§. 9. As SIMON LANGHAM,* 1.20 who being Abbot, (and afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury) he dischar∣ged a debt of 2200 marks, owing by this Covent to some Merchants: he gave 400 pounds towards the finish∣ing the body of the Church, Books to to the value of 830 pounds. And for∣gave this Church a debt which was owing him of 3954 pounds▪

§. 10. NICOLAS LITLINGTON* 1.21 Abbot, who from the foundation built the Hall and great Chamber called Hierusalem, with the West and South side of the great Cloister, his Arms re∣maining there at this day, viz. Quar∣terly Argent and Gules, in the second and third a Fret Or, on a Bend B. 3. Flowers∣de-lucies

of the third. He also erected the Granary which is now the dormito∣ry for the Kings Scholars, with the Tower adjoyning, and a Water Mill for the use of the same Abby.

§, 11. JOHN ESTNEY eased this* 1.22 Church of 3070 pounds which was owing to the See of Rome for the confirmation of their Abbots, and built the great West Window at his own charge.

§. 12. And JOHN ISLIP, who was* 1.23 a man of great Authority in the time of HENRY the Seventh, King of Eng∣land. He built that which is now the Deans House, repaired much of the Church and other buildings belonging to this Monastery, renewing all the Butteresses, and placing in the Niches thereof the Statues of all the Kings and Queens that had been Benefactors to the same.

§. 13. In this Abbots time it was that* 1.24 HENRY VII. before-mentioned in the year 1502. intending a more sum∣ptuous and curious Chappel to the ho∣nour of the Blessed Virgin, than what

King HENRY III. had already built, pulled down that Structure so reared by him, and erected that stately Edi∣fice now called by his name, which by LELAND, and other learned Antiqua∣ries, is stiled (not unworthy) Orbis Miraculum, or the wonder of the World. The King himself laid the first stone thereof, and forbad by his last Will and Testament that any but the Bloud Royal should be interred therein, expending in the raising and finishing this curious Fabrick the sum of ••1400 pounds only.

§. 14. From hence (as to the build∣ings* 1.25 about the Church) all things have continued without any eminent altera∣tion or change until these our days. But the Government thereof hath par∣ticipated of divers variations and turns of Fortune. For after it had remained* 1.26 almost a Thousand years under the re∣giment of Abbots and Monks; It was resigned up by WILLIAM BENSON the Abbot, and seventeen Monks, into the Kings hands (in pursuance of an Act of Parliament) on the sixteenth day of January in the 31. year of the Reign of King Henry VIII.

being able to expend by the year 3471 pounds, and two pence farthing: so great were then her constant revenues. Soon after the resignation in the year 1539. and that the Abbot was prefer∣red, but the Monks sent abroad to seek their fortunes, the King took the Revenues into his own possession, and ordered the Church to be go∣verned by a Dean and Prebendaries,* 1.27 placing therein BENSON, who had been the last Abbot, to be the first Dean. But in the year 1541. this Go∣vernment was dissolved; and the Church turned into an Episcopal See, having Middlesex for its Diocess, and THOMAS THURLEBY for its Bishop,* 1.28 who having much dilapidated and spent the Revenues allotted for its maintenance; after nine years he was removed from thence to the Bi∣shoprick of Norwich, whereby a se∣cond* 1.29 time it reverted to be governed by a Dean and Prebendaries. But when MARY Queen of England came to the Crown after the death of her Brother King EDWARD VI. it again changed its condition; for the Queen* 1.30 (having procured a Licence from her kinsman REGINALD POLE, who

was Archbishop of Canterbury, a Cardi∣nal, and the Popes Legate here in Eng∣land, for disanulling the former insti∣tution of a Dean and Prebendaries,) setled therein JOHN FECKNAM Ab∣bat, and fourteen Monks in the year 1556. But with her life this Govern∣ment likewise ended. And with the entrance of Queen ELIZABETH into the Throne it reassumed to be governed* 1.31 by a Dean and twelve secular Canons and Prebendaries, who turned it into a Collegiate Church, placing therein be∣sides petty Canons and others of the Quire to the number of thirty. Ten Officers belonging to the Collegiate Dyet, two Schoolmasters, forty Scho∣lars, and twelve Alms-men, with plen∣tiful maintenance for all; besides Stewards, Receivers, Registers, a Li∣brary-Keeper, Collectors, and other Officers, the Principal being the High Steward of Westminster, who is usually one of the prime Nobility. Most of* 1.32 these Revenues were embezled, and ••••crilegiously disposed of in the late Usurpation, after the Martyrdom of King CHARLES I. his present Maje∣sties most Royal Father, as Dean and Chapters Lands. But upon the happy

Restauration of our King to his Crown* 1.33 and Kingdoms they return'd again to their former Proprietors, and the Government continues the same at this day.

§. 15. As the Abbots of this Mona∣stery* 1.34 in former times had divers high Priviledges and Honours annexed to their Function, as to be intrusted with the custody of the Regalia, for the Co∣ronation of our Kings and Queens, and to have a place of necessary Ser∣vice on those days of Solemnity, to exercise Archiepiscopal Jurisdiction in their Liberties, and to sit as Spiritual Lords in Parliament, &c. so in all those* 1.35 Rights, except that of Parliament, the present Deans of this Collegiate Church succeed: who is likewise in Commission of the Peace within the City and Liberties of Westminster; and with the Chapter is invested with all* 1.36 manner of Jurisdiction both Ecclesiasti∣cal and Civil, not only within the City and Liberty of Westminster, but within the Precinct of St. Martins le Grand (which was first annexed thereunto by HENRY VII.) within the Walls of London: And in the other, from

that of the Archbishop of Canterbury. And when the Convocation is ad∣journed from St. PAULS (for the conveniency of being nigh the Parlia∣ment when they sit at Westminster) hi∣ther, the Bishops first declare (upon a* 1.37 Protestation made by the Dean there,) that they intend not thereby to vio∣late that high priviledge, (which was granted to this Church by King ED∣WARD the Confessor) viz That no Bishop or Archbishop may come there without leave of the then Abbot, but now Dean, first obtained.

§. 16. And as the Abbots in antient* 1.38 time were men generally well esteem∣ed, although chosen by the Monks, and no small Fa-vorites of their Princes, as may be gathered by the several places of great trust and honour that were be∣stowed on them; As to be Archbishops of Canterbury, Bishops of other Dioceses, Lord Treasurers, and Chancellours of Eng∣land, &c. so likewise have the Deans (since the Reformation) not come much behind them in the like dignities and special honours.

§. 17. By all which we may see* 1.39 how from Age to Age, especially for these last eight hundred years, what care hath been taken to add to the re∣putation of this our Church, by the several new erections, reparations, and bounteous gifts that have been heaped thereon, the great priviledges and im∣munities that have been granted there∣to with the particular favours of our Kings in advancing the Governours thereof, and all this as well since as before the Reformation, and the con∣tinuance thereof to this day.

A description or survey of the Abby Church of St. Peters Westminster with the Monuments, Tombs, and Grave-stones therein as they are now standing, &c.

§. 18. Having in the preceding* 1.40 discourse given you an information of the rise, progress, and continuance of this our famous Abby in its buildings in its Buildings, Government, and names of her Governours in general; I shall now enter into the particular description thereof by observing what is most wor∣thy our remembrance; and therein I care not if for once I play the Mysta∣gogus my self, and lead my noble Tra∣veller from one Tomb to another, from one monument to a second, and so to a third, until we have gone over them all, that his curiosity may not want a plenary satisfaction.

§. 19. If then we intend to take a view of her outward shape and pro∣portion, before we come to behold her beautious entrails, we shall see it* 1.41 best, and least confused on the North and South-east parts thereof, as being less incumbred with private buildings,

by which she seems in some places al∣together hid and obscured. On the South-East part you behold that curi∣ous Chappel of the Blessed Virgin, built* 1.42 by King HENRY VII. whose Battle∣ments, Windows, Supports, and Adorn∣ments speak no less the Magnificence of the Founder than the Mastership of the Inventer, and skill of the Work∣men; as being of that exact composure that nothing in the whole world of the same kind is said to exceed, if equal it. On the North part, you rather behold* 1.43 the Skeleton of a Church than any great comeliness in her appearance, being so shrivelled and parcht by the continual blasts of the Northern Winds, to which she stands exposed, as also the continual smoaks of Sea-Coal which are of a co∣roding and fretting quality, which have added more furrows to her declining years, that little of her former beauty now remains. On this side is a most noble Door or Portal, with a Porch thereunto that opens into the cross of the Church, and on each side thereof two lesser Portico's one of which only serves at present for the conveni∣ence of entering therein. This Porch* 1.44 in former times hath been of great

esteem and reputation, assuming to its self no less a name than that of the Porch of Solomon, that it hath been a cu∣rious, neat, and costly Porch in foregoing times, the remains thereof at this day do in some measure declare; for there∣in were placed the Statues of the twelve Apostles at full proportion, be∣sides a multitude of lesser Saints and Martyrs to adorn it, with several in∣taglio's, devices, and fret-works that helped to the beauty thereof: But that it came in any proportion to the state∣ly, rich, and noble Porch of King Solomon is not to be imagined; nor can we think that those who christened and gave it that name were so ignorant or vain as so to believe, but as a thing excellent in those times, and far sur∣passing any of the same kind; it was looked upon as a piece of work well deserving no common name, and there∣fore had the title of Solomons Porch ap∣propriated thereunto.

§. 20. But leaving the outward view of this ruinous building, let us* 1.45 see whether her entrails (the inside) be altogether as decayed and forlorn: For though she seems by her outward

shape and appearance to be cloathed with the disconsolate veil of Widow∣hood, yet if we enter by the great West door, which leads you into the body thereof, you will behold her sound at heart, not adorned with the gayeties of a new made Bride, yet en∣dowed with all the graces of a noble Matron, sufficient at once to attract the eyes and contemplations of the Ingenious to admire her, and frighten away the vanity of Idle Fools by her venerable countenance from despi∣sing her.

§. 21. For the figure of this Church,* 1.46 you will find it built in the form of a Cross, whose Vault and side Isles are supported by eight and forty Pillars of Grey Marble, each distant from the other eight foot, and from thence another row of lesser Pillars, double the number of the first, and of the same Marble to the upper Roof or Vault sixty foot. The Vault it self being supported by these Pillars, whose Arches turn not upon the Semy-Cir∣cle, (according to the Roman manner of Architecture practised in our days) but meet in acute Angles, in imitation

of the Gothick way of building, and dividing themselves into several Squares, compose a most stately Roof, wrought with divers figured stands, and in some places curiously gilt with Gold. The length being 360* 1.47 foot onely to the Stairs of the Chap∣pel of our Lady or HENRY VII. within the Walls. The breadth of the Nave 75 foot, of the Cross 195 from the Chappel of St. BENEDICT on the South to that of St. ERASMUS on the North 114 foot; from the Chap∣pel of S. EDMUND to that of St. JOHN BAPTIST 126 foot; and from that of St. NICOLAS South to that of St. PAUL on the North 95, all being in your view as you enter the Church; and adding thereto the Chappel of the Blessed Virgin or King HENRY VII. which contains 122 foot in length, and 62 in breadth: The whole Fabrick will be no less than 482 foot long with∣in the Walls thereof, as I have measu∣red it by a Line; a very noble and large Structure, almost equalling in length St. PETERS in Rome, St. PE∣TERS in York, &c. and surpassing many famous Churches and Temples, as that of Solomon, only 60 Cubits

long; the Temple of DIANA in Ephe∣sus, 425 foot; and the great Moske at FEZ, long 150 Cubits.

§. 22. There are in this Church no less than ten Chappels, (besides those* 1.48 two of the Kings, or the Chappels of St. EDWARD, and the Blessed Virgin, and those of St. KATHERINE, and St. ANNE, of whose situation I am ignorant) viz. on the South four, those of St. BLASE, St. BENEDICT, St. EDMUND, and St. NICOLAS; on the North six, those of St. AN∣DREW, St. MICHAEL, St. JOHN EVANGELIST, St. ERASMUS, St. JOHN BAPTIST, and St. PAUL, which serve to flanck up this Church notably to its advantage and credit. On each side the body or Nave under every Window, and between each Pillar, you have the names in antient English or Saxon Letters, and under them the Coats of Arms of the several Kings, Princes, and Noblemen, who flourished when HENRY III. re-edi∣fied this Church.

About fifty and five foot* 1.50 from the great West Door in the midst of the body or Nave to the Screen that separates the high Altar from the Shrine of St. EDWARD, and the Chappel of the Kings, being near 152 foot in length, and 32 in breadth, is a place set apart for the Quire, with all decent conveniences for the celebrati∣on of divine Service, and preaching the Word of God; where (by the Pulpit) is a most comely Picture of* 1.51 one of our Kings sitting in the Orna∣ments and Chair of Coronations, which is said to be the Picture of RI∣CHARD II. King of England; it is very beautiful to behold, and well done, considering the distance of years since it was made: And that it was de∣signed for him is greatly confirmed by the report our Historians give of his incomparable beauty, and admirable features, and that his Picture, placed in the Kings Collection at his Royal Palace of Hampton-Court, differs very little therefrom. Ascending from this Picture by two or three Greeses or steps, until you come to the Rails that compass in the High Altar, you there behold that noble and most glo∣rious

inlaid Floor still remaining in∣tire,* 1.52 that was done by the command and charge of RICHARD de Ware, Abbot of Westminster, in the year 1260. where in most artificial Work and de∣lightful Figures you have the Jasper, the Porphyry, the Lydian, the Touch, the Alabaster, and the Serpentine stones, so laid and wrought to the Spectators satisfaction that you are unwillingly drawn from the sight thereof; round the Squares and great Circles, in Let∣ters of Brass, are some of the Verses still remaining, which when entire were thus to be read, concerning the durati∣on of the World.

§. 24. On the North-side of this* 1.53 Area was this Abbot buried, next to the Tomb of AIMERY de VA∣LENCE Earl of Pembroke, after he had been Lord Treasurer of England, and Abbot of this Monastery twenty three years, he died on the Second of December 1283. but nothing now remains on his Grave-stone to distin∣guish it from the rest. Not far from* 1.54 him was THOMAS HENLEY Abbot of Westminster interred. And RI∣CHARD SUDBURY, another Abbot of this Monastery, with Sir THOMAS CLIFFORD, Governour of Ber∣wick, but all the Brass and Inscriptions are torn away. On the South-side was Queen ANNE, Wife to King RI∣CHARD III. and Daughter to RI∣CHARD NEVILL Earl of War∣wick, interred, who died not without suspition of Poyson, anno 1484. By whom lies WALTER WENLOCK* 1.55 Abbot of Westminster, and Lord Trea∣surer of England, who died at his Man∣nour of Pireford in Gloucestershire, on the twenty fifth day of December, 1307. after he had governed this Church twenty six years, having a

decent Marble-stone plated, and laid over him by the South Door entering the Chappel of St. EDWARD, of which there is nothing continuing at this day, save a guess at the stones only. There are five noble Monuments still remaining, three on the North, and two on the South part of this Sacriste, but no Inscriptions or Epitaphs on any of them, nor are they visible but by withdrawing the Hangings, which are hung before them for the better adorn∣ing this place.

§. 25. The first on the South is a* 1.56 Tomb of Freestone unfinished, with these two Letters insculpt thereof A. C. and this 1557. and a little Ballister or Rail thereto adjoyning, which was de∣signed to remember ANNE of Cleve, Queen of England, Sister to WILLI∣AM Duke of Cleve and Gulich, whom King HENRY VIII. repudiated when he took to Wife the Lady KATHA∣RINE HOWARD; she died in the year 1557. and lyeth buried here at the head of King SEBERT.

§. 26. The next is an antient Sepul∣chre* 1.57 of stone, Arched, where in a lea∣den Chest enclosed in Touch, lie the remains of SEBERT King of the East-Saxons, and ETELGODA his Queen, who in the year 605 began the foun∣dation of this Monastery, as I have de∣clared elsewhere; he died on the last day of July in the year 616. and she the thirteenth of September 615. after they had finished this worthy design; and therefore in the year 1307 their bodies were removed by the Monks of this Abby from the old Church, erected by King EDWARD the Confessor, and placed here hard by the Sepulchre of the Kings. The Canopy erected over this Tomb of eight panes of delicate carved Wainscot, contained as many painted Figures, of St. PETER, St. JOHN BAPTIST, King SEBERT, King EDWARD the Confessor, &c. with divers Verses of Questions and Answers under each of them, which are all defaced and washed away, and only a Table of Verses adjoyning to the Tomb (which you will find among the Mounmental Inscriptions) is still remaining to inform you who it is that lies there deposited.

§. 27. On the North side, next to the Chappel of St. EDWARD, in a most noble Monument of Freestone, canopied, painted, and adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, his Image thereon cross legged lies EDMUND* 1.58 CROUCHBACK, Earl of Lancaster, and younger Son of HENRY III. who was born at London on the sixteenth day of January, anno 1245. about eight years after he was invested by the Pope into the Dominion of Sicily, made Earl of Chester, and Lord High Steward of England during life, and after the death of his first Wife AVE∣LINE went into the Holy Land, after∣wards returning, he was by his Brother King EDWARD I. made Earl of Champaigne; he founded the house of Nuns, called the Minoresses with∣out Algate in the Suburbs of London, and going into France, he died at Bayon, from whence his body was brought, and honourably interred in this place, and this Monument erected to his memory. This great Earl, by BLANCHE, his second Wife, Daugh∣ter to ROBERT Earl of Artois, (third Son to LEWIS VIII. King of

France) Widow of HENRY King of Navarre, Earl of Champagne and Bry had Issue three Sons, THOMAS, HENRY, and JOHN, and a Daugh∣ter, who died with her Brother JOHN in France without Issue.

§. 28. Next to this Tomb of ED∣MUND Earl of Lancaster is such another like Monument, very beauti∣ful to behold, Canopied, and gilt with Gold, with an Image thereon for AY∣MER* 1.59 de Valence, (third Son to WIL∣LIAM Earl of Pembroke, who was Son of HUGH le BRUN Earl of Marche, in the Confines of France and Poictiers, by ISABEL his Wife, Widow of King JOHN, and sole Daughter to the Earl of Angolesme, who took his Surname from the place of his Nativity, and being Brother to HENRY III. by his Mother, in June 1247 was sent for into England, &c) who was a great Souldier in the Wars of Scotland, Flanders, France, &c. he was Guardian of the M••rches of Scotland, Lieutenant and Captain General of all the Souldiers there, Ge∣neral of the Kings Forces from the River of Trent Northwards un∣to

Roxborough in Scotland: But go∣ing to Rome he was taken prisoner by JOHN MOILLEY a Burgundian, and sent to the Emperour, being obliged to pay 20000 pounds for his ransom. After which he was again in the Scotch Wars, and Governour of Rockingham Castel, and at the ta∣king of THOMAS Earl of Lancaster at Borough Brigge in the County of York, but being one of those who gave sentence of death upon him at Pomfrat, as he was attending Queen ISABEL into France, anno 1323. he was murthered on the twenty third of June the same year; his body being afterwards brought and buried here: He had three Wives, but had no Issue by any. His first was BEATRIX Daughter to RALPH de NEAL Con∣stable of France; his second, one of the Daughters of the Earl of Barr; and his last was MARY Daugh∣ter to GUY de CASTILION Earl of St. Paul.

§. 29. At the head of AYMER de VALENCE is the third and last Mo∣nument on this North side, which is likewise a very beautiful Tomb of

Alabaster and gray Marble, Canopied with curious worked stone, and gilt with Gold, her Image lying thereon at full proportion, for AVELINE* 1.60 Countess of Lancaster, first Wife of EDMUND CROUCHBACK Earl of Lancaster, and fourth Son of HEN∣RY III. (as is before said in the de∣scription of his Monument.) She was esteemed a Lady in her time far sur∣passing all others in beauty, and was the Daughter and Heir of WILLIAM de FORTIBUS Earl of Albemarle, she was Countess of Holderness, and by her Mother Countess of Devon and the Isle of Wight, leaving her Inhe∣ritance to the House of Lancaster, and her body to be buried in this place, dying in the year 1269. without any Issue.

§. 30. The rest of the Monuments about this Church are very numerous and noble, Persons of the greatest dignity and honour being permitted by the Licence of the Prince only to be buri∣ed in the Chappels thereof, of whom we shall speak when we come to the particular places wherein they are de∣posited. In the mean time we will

take a survey round the body of the Church; and beginning on the East∣side of the North Cross, the first Monu∣ment we meet with will be that of the Lady MARY JAMES, Wife of Sir* 1.61 JOHN JAMES, and Daughter to Sir ROBERT KILLIGREW, Vice∣chamberlain to Queen MARY, who died in the year 1677. being a neat Mo∣nument composed of a large Pedestal of black Marble, on which is the Epi∣taph, and an Urn of white, admirably polished, encompassed with an Iron Grate, garnished and adorned with Gold. By which on a Pillar adjoyning to the Chappel of St. Michael is a small Monument of white Marble for GRACE SCOT, Daughter of Sir* 1.62 THOMAS MAULEVERER Baronet, who died in the year 1645. And against the Screen of the said Chappel of St. Michael is a most noble Tomb and Monument of black and white Marble, garnished and adorned with Arms, and warlike Trophies, on whose Pedestal are placed the Images at full* 1.63 proportion of WILLIAM Baron Ca∣vendish. Viscount Mansfield, Earl of Ogle, Earl, Marquess, and Duke of Newcastle, with MARGARET his

Dutchess, Daughter of Sir CHARLES, and Sister to the Lord LUCAS of Col∣chester, who was esteemed in her time a Lady of great learning and bountiful Magnificence beyond the usual qualifi∣cations of her Sex. The Duke caused this Tomb to be made in his life-time, soon after the death of his Dutchess, and being scarce finished, he died him∣self on the twenty fifth day of Decemb. in the year 1676. aged 84 years, and was buried here.

§. 31. On the North side of this Cross are two small Monuments placed against the Wall; The one, towards* 1.64 the West for Sir WILLIAM SAN∣DERSON, of Alabaster, with the Busto or head of the same, he was Gen∣tleman of the Chamber to the King, and writ the History of MARY Queen of Scots, King JAMES, and King CHARLES the First, worthily vin∣dicating them from the vile aspersions of some virulent Pens of those times; he died in the year 1676. The other, towards the East, or black Marble for Collonel THOMAS BLAGGE, an emi∣nent* 1.65 and faithful server of his King and Country in the late unhappy Wars,

and since made Governour of Yar∣mouth, in which Office he died in the year 1660.

§. 32. On the West side of this Cross is a small black Marble stone to remem-Doctor* 1.66 WILLIAM JOHNSON, one of the Kings Chaplains, many of whose learned Writings are abroad in the world; he died in the year 1666.

§. 33. On the North side the Nave is a little Monument of black Marble and Alabaster, adorned with Arms, for ELI∣ZABETH EDMONDS of Sussex,* 1.67 who died in the year 1667. Next to whom are two Tablets of black Mar∣ble, with an Epitaph and Arms for PE∣TER* 1.68 HEYLYN D. D. a Prebendary, and Sub-dean of this Church, who (among many others) writ that famous Cosmography and Geography of the whole World; he lies here without any date of his death. Beyond whom is a very curious Monument of black and white Marble, set up by Sir Edward de* 1.69 Carteret Knight, to the memory of his Son Edward, a Child of seven years of Age, who died in the year 1677.

Below this you have another neat Mo∣nument of white Marble, adorned with warlike Trophies for RICHARD le* 1.70 NEVE Esquire, Captain of one of his Majesties Ships of War called the Ed∣gar, wherein he lost his life valiantly fighting against the Hollanders in the year 1673. Hard by this, under the Arms of Iohan. de Dreux comes Richmondie, is a small Monument of white Marble, adorned with Arms for GILBERT THORNBURGH, one* 1.71 of the Kings Servants, who died in the year 1677. The next is a little Monu∣ment of black Marble, with the Image of a woman kneeling in Alabaster, to remember SARAH STOTEVILE,* 1.72 first Wife to EDWARD ELLIS Esq and then to Doctor OTHOWEL HILL, J. C. who died in the year 1631. And lastly under the Arms of Guilielmus de Malpas is one large intire black Marble stone, veined and streaked with white, set up without a Pedestal against the Wall, to commemorate PENELO∣PE,* 1.73 the Wife of RANDOLPH EGERTON, and Daughter of ROBERT NEDHAM Viscount Kilmurray in the Kingdom of Ireland, who died in Childbed in the year 1670.

§. 34. On the South side the Nave is a Table of Arms placed to remember one Peers Gruffith Esq who died in* 1.74 the year 1628. Next to which, on the East side the great South door that en∣ters the Cloisters, is a comely Monu∣ment of black and white Marble, with an Epitaph in Hebrew, Greek, and* 1.75 English for Carola, Daughter of Roger Harsnet, and Wife of Sir Samuel Mor∣land Baronet, who died in the year 1674. A little higher is another Mo∣nument of black and white Marble, adorned with several warlike Trophies, and on the Pedestal the representation of a Sea-fight well designed in basso relievo, to remember two Friends who lost their lives together with the vali∣ant Earl of Sandwich in the year 1672.* 1.76 viz. Sir Charles Harbord, and Clement Cotterel Esquire. Not far from this is a little Monument erected for Bridget, the Wife of Charles Radley Esquire, of white Marble, adorned with Arms. A small Monument by the little South door of* 1.77 the Cloister is placed for Sir Richard Bingham a man famous for his warlike Acts at home and abroad, of which his Epitaph gives you a particular; he died in the year 1598.

§. 35. On the West side the South Cross is a small Monument of black and white Marble, set up to remember that learned Antiquary William Cam∣den,* 1.78 Clarentieux King of Arms, with his demy Effigies leaning on a Book, on whose leaves are insculped Britan∣nia: his Writings are highly esteemed by all men of Learning; he died in the year 1623. Next to him lies that Ma∣gazine of Literature, (but especially for his experience in the Oriental Tongues) Isaac Casaubon, J. C. who* 1.79 died in the year 1634. Then have you a Monument of white Marble placed for Thomas Triplet, D. D. and one of* 1.80 the Prebendaries of this Church; who died in the year 1670. Beyond whom is another small Monument of white Marble for Sir Richard Coxe, Knight,* 1.81 who died anno 1623. A little lower are two other Monuments of white Marble, the one for Isaac Barrow, S. T. P.* 1.82 and one of the Kings Chaplains: The other for William Outram, S. T. P. Ca∣non* 1.83 of this Church, and Archdeacon of Leicester, an eminent and learned Wri∣ter; who died in the year 1679. and Dr. Barrow in the year 1677.

§. 36. On the South side of this Cross, hard by the little East door, is a decayed Tomb of grey Marble, very much defaced, and nothing of the an∣tient Inscription remaining, which was in Latine, but of late there is another in English to inform you that Edmund* 1.84 Spencer, a most excellent Poet, lies there intombed, who indeed had a sweet and luxuriant fancy, and expressed his thoughts with admirable success, as his Fairy-Queen, and other Works of his sufficiently declare; and pity it was such true Poetry should not have been imployed in as true a subject; he died in the year 1596.

§. 37. Next to him, on the East side of the same Cross, is a little Monument of white and black Marble, with a Busto or head crowned with a Laurel, for Michael Drayton, another memo∣rable* 1.85 Poet, who rectified the fault com∣mitted by Spencer in applying his Geni∣us to the Histories and Antiquities of his own Nation, and native Country, witness his Poly-Olbyon, which the learned Selden hath worthily embel∣lished with his notes; he died in the

year 1631. And now come we to the first and last best Poets of the English Nation Geffrey Chaucer, and Abraham Cowley, the one being the Sun just ri∣sing, and shewing its self on the English Horizon, and so by degrees increasing and growing in strength till it came to its full Glory and Meridian in the in∣comparable Cowley, whose admirable Genius, hard to be imitated, but never equalled, hath set the bounds to suc∣ceeding times. Chaucer lies in an anti∣ent* 1.86 Tomb, Canopied, of grey Mar∣ble, with his Picture painted thereon in plano, with some Verses by; he died in the year 1400. And Cowley hath* 1.87 on a curious Pedestal of white Marble a stately Urn placed thereon, and environed with a Grate by the com∣mand and charge of the noble and illustrious Duke of Buckingham; he died in the year 1667. universally lamented.

§. 38. On the South side of the Quire are three stately Monuments, the first Westward is that of Thomas* 1.88 Owen, one of the Justices of the Com∣mon Pleas, who died in the year 1597, being a noble Monument of

Alabaster, Marble, and divers coloured stones, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, his Image lying thereon in his Scarlet Robes in full proportion. The* 1.89 next for Sir Tho. Richardson, Speaker of the House of Commons, and afterwards Lord Chief Justice of England, who died in the year 1634. being a fair Tomb of black Marble, neatly adorned with curious wrought Brass, with his demy Effigies in his Judges Robes and Collar of S's, all of the same Brass gilt. The last is an Alabaster Tomb, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold where on a Quilt is placed the Image* 1.90 in Armour of William Thynne, a famous Commander at Muscelborough Field, and in the Scots Wars, who died in the year 1600.

§. 39. On the North side of the same Quire you have a noble Monu∣ment of Alabaster, Marble, and di∣vers coloured stones, whereon is placed the Image at full proportion in his* 1.91 black tufted Gown of Sir Thomas Hes∣ket, the Queens Attourney for the Court of Wards and Liveries, and one of the Council of the North, who died in the year 1600.

§. 40. And thus you have what Tombs and Monuments are to be found round about the Body, Alleys, and the Cross of this Church: We will now see what persons are deposited under the several Grave-stones that have any Inscriptions thereon. And first in the midst of the Body or Nave there lies Gilbert Thornburgh, (whose Tomb I* 1.92 have mentioned before,) who was Servant to the King, and died in the year 1677.

§. 41. In the North Alley, the bo∣dy of Anne, Wife of Sir George Rad∣cliffe,* 1.93 and Daughter of Sir Francis Trappes, who died in the year 1659. Ben. Johnson a Poet Laureat, and so* 1.94 universally famous for the Dramma, that at this day his Works are in great estimation. Martha, Wife of Gervase* 1.95 Price Esquire, one of the Kings Ser∣vants, who died in the year 1678. There are Grave-stones likewise placed for Edward de Carteret, Carola Morland,* 1.96 Mary James, Bridget Radley, William Outram, and Abraham Cowley, nigh their Monuments.

§. 42. In the South Alley lies Judith,* 1.97 Daughter of Sir Justinian Isham Baronet, who died in the year 1679, having a grey Marble stone placed here for her. And a little lower, the Lady Anne Mor∣land* 1.98 under a stone of black Marble, who died in the year 1680.

§. 43. In the North Cross is a Grave∣stone* 1.99 for Sir Henry de Vic Baronet, and Chancellour of the Garter, who died in the year 1672. Another antient grey Marble stone for Didacus Sanchez, a* 1.100 Spaniard, he died in the year 1557. And one more for Mary, the Wife of Thomas* 1.101 Willis M. D. and Daughter of Samuel Fell S. T. D. Dean of Christchurch, and now Bishop of Oxford, who died in the year 1670. and with her lies her Daughter Catharine, who died in 1667.

§. 44. In the South Cross, over∣against Cowleys Tomb, are some re∣mains of a man in Armour, with a broken Inscription round the Verge, ingraven on Brass, whereby may be gathered that one Robert Haule lies* 1.102 there, who was murthered in this

Church on the eleventh of August, Anno Dom. 1378. In the same Southern Cross lies John Osboldston Esquire, one* 1.103 of the Kings Servants, he died in the year 1666. Another Grave-stone for Samuel Bolton, D. D. one of the Kings* 1.104 Chaplains, and a Prebend of this Church, he died in the year 1668. Another to Sir William Davenant, a* 1.105 Poet Laureat, and memorable for his excellent Poems, natural fancy, and Dramatick Poesie in our time. Ano∣ther for Thomas Chiffinch, Servant to his* 1.106 Majesty; he died in the year 1666. And lastly, Thomas Parr, a man remark∣able* 1.107 for his long life, who had lived in the Reigns of ten Kings and Queens of England, being born in the year 1483. in the time of Edward IV. and died in the year 1635, in the Reign of King Charles I. being of the age of 152 years.

The Chappel of St. Blase.

§. 45. Having informed you of all the Tombs and Grave-stones (and to whose memory they were there posi∣ted,) that you meet with in any part of the body and side Iles of this so

famous Church, we will now enter in∣to the particular Chappels thereof, and beginning in the South Cross, where the Dial and Clock stands, and the place made use on at present as a Revestre, was formerly a Chappel dedicated to Saint Blase, in which Chappel Ni∣colas L••••lington, Abbot of Westminster,* 1.108 whom I have mentioned before, was bu∣ried in the year 1386, after he had go∣verned this Monastery twenty five years. And Edward a Monk of West∣minster, who was Son of Owen Tuddor by Queen Katharine, the Widow of Henry V. and Daughter of Charles VI. King of France; he was Brother to Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Un∣cle* 1.109 to King Henry VII. There is nei∣ther Inscription or Epitaph remaining to distinguish their Grave-stones from the rest. From hence going to the East-side of this Cross, and next to Cowleys Tomb is a little

Chappel of St. Benedict.

§. 18. Which is sometimes called the Deans Chappel, by reason some of the Deans of Westminster have been buried therein, for whom there are

two Tombs remaining. On the South side, that of Gabriel Goodman, S. T. D.* 1.110 and Dean of this Church forty years; he founded an Hospital and School at Ru∣thin in Denbighshire, the town where he was born; but dying on the Seven∣teenth day of July in the year 1601. aged 73. was buried here, and had a Monument of black and white Marble, with his Statue kneeling thereon, erected to his memory, and is yet in being. On the North side one of his Predecessors (under a raised Tomb of grey Marble, having his Effigie engra∣ven thereon in Brass, with Arms and Epitaphs,) was interred, viz. William* 1.111 Bill, S. T. D. who was Master of Tri∣nity College in Cambridge, President of Eaton, Dean of this Collegiate Church, and grand Almoner to the Queen; a man liberal in his gifts to this Colledge, by several pieces of Silver Plate, and other Largesses bestowed thereon; he died on the fifteenth of July, in the year 1561. Next to him, on the same North side, is an antient Tomb of Free∣stone, mixed with grey Marble and Brass, with the Image of Alabaster, re∣presenting an Archbishop in his Pontifica∣libus, under a Canopy of the same stone,

placed there to remember Simon Lang∣ham,* 1.112 that famous Monk, Prior, and Abbot of this Monastery, afterwards Bi∣shop of Ely, London. and Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishop of Praenest in Italy, Cardinal S. Sextus, Chancellour and Lord High Treasurer of England, and the Popes Legat here; he died in the year 1367 at Avenion, and was buried in the House of the Carthusi∣ans there, which himself had founded, but afterwards his bones were tran∣slated, and interred here, hard by the Altar of St. Benedict. Against the* 1.113 East Wall of this Chappel is a most stately Monument, above twenty six foot high, most nobly adorned with Corinthian Columns and Pyramids of Alabaster, Porphyry, Lydian, and di∣verse coloured Marble, variously wrought, and curiously gilt with Gold, on whose Pedestal is the Image of a Countess in her Robes of estate, cum∣bant at full proportion, being erected by the command of Edward Earl of Hertford, and Baron Beauchamp; (Son of Edward Duke of Somer∣set, &c. Ʋncle to King Edward VI.) to the memory of his Wife the Lady Frances, who was Daughter of William

Baron Howard of Effingham Knight of the Garter, High Admiral to Queen Mary, Lord Chamberlain and Privy Seal to Queen Elizabeth, and Son of Thomas Duke of Norfolk; she died in the year 1598. In the midst of the Area of this Chappel is a noble Tomb of black and white Marble, whereon are placed the Images of Lyonel Cranfield Earl of* 1.114 Middlesex, who was Lord High Trea∣surer of England, with that of the Lady Anne his second Wife; he died in the year 1645.

§. 47. Next to this Chappel you are let into the Area (or passage that leads you round the Chappel of the Kings,) by an Officer of the Church, who attends there to wait upon all persons that are desirous of seeing the Monuments within, whose Fee is what the particular bounty of each Gentle∣man shall think convenient to give him; you may therefore save the civil Offi∣cer that trouble, and better inform your self by taking these directions; The first place you are led into on this South side will be the Chappel of St. Edmund the Archbishop, but be∣fore you enter therein I would not

have you overpass a little Monument between the Chappel of St. Bene∣dict and this of St. Edmund, being a small raised Tomb, adorned with di∣verse* 1.115 coloured stones, and Arched, under which are the Effigies of four Children painted thereon in plano, but there is no Inscription or Table belong∣ing thereto; in this Tomb are inclosed the bones of Richard, John, and Ka∣tharine, Children of King Henry III. and was set up by Edward I. King of Eng∣land for three of his Sons and a Daugh∣ter, which he had by Eleanor his Queen, Daughter of Ferdinand III. King of Castile, viz. John, Henry, Alphonsus, and Eleonore. From this Tomb we go into the

Chappel of St. Edmund.

§. 48. On the right hand of the en∣trance you have a very antient Tomb of grey Marble, about three foot high, adorned with divers Coats of Arms, which serves as a Pedestal to support a Wainscot Chest, covered over with* 1.116 plates of Brass richly enamelled, and thereon the Image of William de Va∣lence Earl of Pembroke, with a deep

Shield on his left Arm, in a Coat of Male, with a Surcoat all of the same enamelled Brass gilt with Gold, and beset with the Arms of Valence, viz. Bar∣rule Ar. & B. an orle of Martlets Gules; round about the inner ledge of this Tomb is most of the Epitaph remain∣ing in the antient Saxon Letters, and the rest of the Chest covered with Brass, wrought in the form of Lo∣zenges, each Lozenge containing either the Arms of England, or that of Va∣lence, alternately placed one after the other, enamelled with their colours. Round this Chest have been thirty little Brazen Images, some of them still remaining, twelve on each side, and three at each end, divided by certain Arches, that serve as Niches to inclose them: And on an outward ledge, at the foot of each of these Images are placed a Coat of Arms in Brass, en∣amelled with their colours. This Wil∣liam de Valence (for whom this curi∣ous Tomb was made) was Son of Hugh le Brun, Earl of March in the Confines of France and Poictiers by Isabel his Wife, Widow of King John, &c. as I have said before in the description* 1.117 of his Sons Monument, and being half

Brother to King Henry III. was by him advanced to great honours, who ha∣ving married Joan, the Daughter of Warren de Montechensey, died in the year 1304, and had this Monument erected to his memory.

§. 49. On the West side of this Chappel, and next to the Tomb of* 1.118 William de Valence Earl of Pembroke is a most noble Monument for one of the Successors of that renowned Fa∣mily of the Talbots Earls of Shrews∣bury, viz. Edward the eighth Earl thereof, who died on the eighteenth of February 1617. aged 57 years, and the Lady Jane his Countess, who was the eldest Daughter, and one of the Co-heirs of the last Lord Ogle of that name. On a large Table of black Mar∣ble, supported by a stately Pedestal of Alabaster, and six Corinthian Pillars, lie their Images at full proportion, in their Mantles of Estate, painted, and gilt with Gold; at his feet, is placed a Talbot passant, and at hers, a Griffons head coped, with the Effigies of a fe∣male Child beneath them, all under a sumptuous arched Canopy of curi∣ous wrought, and diverse coloured

stones, adorned with large Columns, warlike Trophies, Cherubims, Stems of that illustrious Family, Coats of Arms, and Epitaphs.

§. 50. Beyond which, more to∣wards the South, is a comely Monu∣ment of Alabaster, and various co∣loured Marble, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, with three little Images on their knees, under as many arched Canopies of black Marble and figured Alabaster. In the midst is that* 1.119 of Sir Richard Pecksal Knight in Ar∣mour, who was Master of the Buck∣hounds to Queen Elizabeth; On one side of whom is that of his first Wife the Lady Eleonore, who was Daugh∣ter of William Pawlet, Marquess of Winchester, Lord High Treasurer of England, by whom he had four Daughters, whose Statues help to beau∣tifie the Pedestal of this Monument: on the other, his second Wife, who was likewise named Eleonore the Daughter of J. Cotgrave, who after the death of this her first Husband was re∣married to Sir John Savage of Cheshire Knight, and caused this Monument to be erected to his memory.

§. 51. Next to this, within the Wall* 1.120 directly South, between two Pillars of the Chappel Windows, is an antient Canopied Tomb, adorned and enriched with Gold according to the fashion of those times, under which is an em∣battelled Pedestal of grey Marble, ha∣ving thereon the Image of a Knight in Armour, reposing his head on his Helm, ensigned with a Blackamores head for a Crest, and his feet suppor∣ted by a Lion couchant, with a deep Shield on his left arm, almost broken away, with eight lesser Escutcheons placed on the breasts of as many Che∣rubims, diversly set about the Tomb, but all the painting wholly decayed and worn away, nothing remaining but a piece of a broken Inscription in Brass on the ledge of the imbattelled Pedestal, whereby we may understand that this Monument was erected for one Sir Bernard Brocas Knight, Cham∣berlain to Anne Queen of England, who was Wife to King Richard II.

§. 52. Against the same Wall, but* 1.121 more towards the East, is a noble Mo∣nument of Alabaster, black, and vari∣ous coloured Marble, Canopied and adorned with Corinthian Pillars, Coats of Arms, and gilt with Gold, on whose Pedestal is placed the Image of a man at full proportion, leaning on his left side, and supporting his head by his left Arm in his Robes of Estate, with an∣other little Image of an Infant at his feet, all in curious wrought Alabaster, painted and gilt with Gold, environed with a Grate, and an Epitaph in La∣tine, Greek, and English, set up here to remember John Lord Russel and his Son Francis a Child, by the Lady Elizabeth his Wife, Daughter of Sir Anthony Coke Knight, and Widow of Sir Thomas Hobby; he was Son and Heir to Francis Russel, who was the second Earl of Bedford of that surname, but dying before his Father in the year 1584. and his Son Francis, anno 1580. was buried here, leaving behind him only two Daughters, viz. Anne and Elizabeth.

§. 53. Which Elizabeth is said to* 1.122 have bled to death by a prick she re∣ceived in the fore-finger of her left hand by a Needle, but with what truth I know not: Yet the Monument placed here for her within the same Grate with her Father by the Lady Anne her Sister seems not obscurely to point out as much: For on a Pedestal of black and white Marble, shaped after the figure of a Roman Altar, made Co∣lumn wise, is set the Statue of this young Lady, reposing her self in a cu∣rious wrought Osier Chair, all of poli∣shed Alabaster, melancholily inclining her cheek to her right hand, and with the fore-finger of her left only ex∣tended, directs us to behold the deaths head placed at her feet, silently intimating, that from thence sprung the Malady that brought her to the grave; wherefore we may not irrationally con∣jecture, that having touched an Arte∣ry with the invenomed Needle, the infection might so suddenly disperse it self (well known to able Physicians,) that in a short time it might occasion her death, which by the Ignorant might be imputed to the simple prick

of her finger, a thing altogether un∣likely and absurd.

§. 54. Next to this Columnial Mo∣nument* 1.123 is another of the same form, but somewhat larger, composed of Alabaster and white Marble, with the Statue of a noble Youth thereon, fur∣nitured and equipped like a Roman He∣ro, with Helm, Shield, Coat of Male, Buskins, Sandals, &c. of polished Marble, which the illustrious Earl of Clare caused to be erected for his third Son Francis Holles, who returning sick from the Wars in Flanders and the Low-Countries, died at the age of eighteen years, and was buried here, anno 1622.

§. 55. Between these two Altar-like* 1.124 Monuments, are two little Tombs fix∣ed to the Wall above them against the East side of the Chappel, both of Ala∣baster and black Marble, adorned with small Corinthian Pillars, set about with Arms, and gilt with Gold: The one, which is next to the door, for the La∣dy Katharine Knowles, chief Lady of the Bed-chamber, and Cousin German to Queen Elizabeth, and Wife to Sir

Francis Knowles Knight, Treasurer of the Houshold to the same Queen; she died at Hampton-Court on the fifth day of January 1568. and was honou∣rably buried in the floor of this Chap∣pel. The other, for the Lady Jane* 1.125 Seymour Cousin-German to Edward VI. King of England, and Daughter of Edward Duke of Somerset, Earl of Hertford, Viscount Beauchamp, and Baron Seymour, who dying a Virgin on the nineteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord 1560, at the age of nineteen years was buried here, and had this small Monument erected by her Brother the Earl of Hertford to her memory. But the Latine Verses mentioned by Stow and Camden to have been placed on this little Tomb are not here now, but only the English Inscription.

§. 56. In the Area or floor of this* 1.126 Chappel, not far from the Monument of Francis Holles, is a raised Tomb of Ala∣baster, about five foot from the ground, adorned with Arms and In∣scriptions, and gilt with Gold; joyning to the four corners thereof are as many Corinthian Pillars, supporting a Table

of black Marble, whereon is placed the Image at full proportion in her Robes of Estate, and at her feet a Li∣on couchant, with a rich Jewel pen∣dant at the end of a Chain, encompas∣sing her neck, and falling between her breasts, all curiously wrought, and ad∣mirably pollished, in white Marble, erected here for the Lady Frances Dutchess of Suffolk, anno 1563. she was a Lady of great extraction, being Daughter to Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk, and Mary the French Queen, who was the Daughter of Henry VII. King of England; she was married first to Henry Grey Marquess of Dorchester, who by King Edward VI. was created Duke of Suffolk; and afterwards to Adrian Stokes Esquire, who set up this Monument to remember her; she had a Daughter named Mary by her former Husband the Marquess of Dor∣cet, who died in the year 1578. and was buried by her without any Monu∣ment, Tomb, or Grave-stone.

§. 57. By this of the Dutchess of* 1.127 Suffolk is a little raised Tomb of grey Marble, on the top of which are placed the Images of two small Chil∣dren,

a Boy and Girl in Alabaster, nei∣ther of them being above sixteen Inches in length, at the feet of the Girl is a Lion couchant, but part of the Boys feet and Tomb under him is bro∣ken away; there being no Inscription or Epitaph thereon, but are reported to be two Children of Edward III. King of England, viz. William of Windsor, so called because born at the Kings Castle of Windsor, with his Sister Blanch of the Tower, for that in the Tower of London her Mother was delivered of her, both lying under this little Tomb.

§. 58. On the left hand of the door* 1.128 of this Chappel, and not far from this little Tomb is a most noble raised Mo∣nument of grey Marble, set about with twenty four little Images of various coloured Alabaster and white Marble, under each of which are the blank Escutcheons remaining, whereon had been as many several Coats of Arms depicted, which are now wholly whol∣ly worn away and decayed. On this Tomb is an Image of admirable wrought Alabaster, in his Coat Ar∣mour, and a deep Shield on his left

arm, whereon is graven the Arms of England within a bordure of France, and was placed here for John of El∣tham, Earl of Cornwal, having two Angels on each side supporting his head, and a Lion couchant at his feet, carved and finely pictured of the same Alabaster, with a Canopy covering the whole with delicate wrought Spires and Masons work, every where inter∣mixed and adorned with little Images and Angels according to the fashion of those times, supported by eight Pillars of white stone of the same curious wrought work: But there is no Epi∣taph or Inscription further to inform us. He was the second Son of King Edward II. by Isabel Daughter to Phi∣lip le Bell King of France, and took his Surname from the place of his birth, viz. at Eltham in Kent, he was ad∣vanced to the title of Earl of Corn∣wall by his Brother King Edward III. made twice Lieutenant of all England by the same King upon his Expeditions first into France, and then into Scot∣land, during his absence. But atten∣ding his Brother in the tenth year of his Reign into Scotland; he fell sick at St. Iohnstones Town, and there

died without Wife or Issue, and was afterwards brought into this Chappel, and here honourably buried, and had this Monument erected to his Memory.

§. 59. In the midst of the Area of this* 1.129 Chappel, under a large grey Marble Tomb, about two foot from the ground, with her Effigies engraven thereon in Brass, under a Canopy artificially pour∣trayed, adorned with Arms and devices of the same Brass, with an Epitaph cir∣cumscribed in French, all remaining intire at this day, lies Elenore Dutchess of Glocester, who was one of the Daughters and Coheirs of Humphrey de Bohun Earl of Hereford, Essex, Northampton, and High Constable of England, and Wife of Thomas de Woodstock, Duke of Glocester, Son to King Edward III. by whom she had a Son, who died in his Infancy, and a Daughter, named Anne, who was Wife first, to Edward Earl of Stafford, and afterwards, to Sir William Bourchier Knight, from this Anne by her first husband, the atinent Dukes of Buck∣ingham were descended, and by her last, the Bourchiers Earls of Essex; she died on the third of October 1399.

§. 60. There is another raised Tomb* 1.130 of grey Marble, somewhat higher than that of the Dutchess of Glocester, adjoyning to Sir Bernard Brocas where∣on is portrayed the Effigies of a man in Armour, with his head on his Helm, ensigned with a Crest, and his feet sup∣ported, the one by a Leopard, the other, by an Eagle, with divers antient fashi∣on'd Shields, and Coats of Arms, all en∣graven on curious wrought Brass, fixed to the Marble, and remaining intire at this day, with an Epitaph in Latine Verse, insculpt on the same brass plates just under his Effigies, to inform us, that Humphrey Bourchier, Son and Heir of John Lord Berners, lies there interred, who married the Daughter and Heir of Frederick Tilney, and lost his life in those Civil Broyls of the Houses of York and Lancaster, ta∣king part with Edward IV. against Henry VI. in the Battel of Barnet, from whence he was brought, and here intombed. I know not how it came to pass, but certainly there is a mistake in Mr. Camdens Collection of these Mo∣numents, where he places this Tomb to another Humphrey Bourchier, who

was Lord Cromwell, and Son to* 1.131 Henry Earl of Essex, who was slain at the same time at the Battel of Bar∣net, and interred in this Chappel, hard by the Monument of William de Valence, without any further remem∣brance of him: And for a confirmati∣on that this Tomb was made for the former Humphrey, Son of the Lord Berners, not only the Verses of his Epitaph specifie in part as much, but is most evident by his impaling the Coat of Tilney, with quarterings re∣maining very visible at this day on the same Tomb.

§. 61. On the Floor or Pavement* 1.132 of this Chappel adjoyning to the foot of the Tomb of Elenore Dutchess of Glocester is a large grey Marble stone, adorned with most excellent workman∣ship of Brass, whereon is lively pictu∣red, as he was accustomed to sing or say Mass, with a Miter on his head, and a Crosier Staff in his hand, the Effigie of a Bishop, with so much of an Epitaph round the Verge still in being, to in∣form us that Robert Walby, Bishop of Durham, afterwards of Chichester, and then Archbishop of York, died on

the fourth day of January in the year 1390. and was buried here.

§. 62. More towards the East, on* 1.133 the same Pavement, is another grey Marble stone, with five Plates of Brass, whereon are engraven as many Coats of Arms, with a Miter in the midst, and round about the Verge an Epitaph insculpt on the like Plates of Brass, giving us to understand, that Henry Ferne, who was the eighth Son of Sir John Ferne Knight, was Master of Trinity College in Cambridge, and afterwards Bishop of Chester, who died in the year 1662. at the age of fifty nine years, and was here depo∣sited.

The Chappel of St. Nicolas.

§. 63. On the right hand, as you* 1.134 come into this Chappel is an antient decayed Tomb of Freestone, with the Image of a Lady lying thereon at full proportion, in her Robes of Estate, under a wooden Canopy, curiously painted with Azure, and decked with Stars of Gold, with our Saviour on the Cross; Supported by Wainscote Pillars,

and neatly adorned with excellent car∣ved Spires, and Coats of Arms de∣picted thereon, erected here to con∣tinue the remembrance of Philippa, one of the Daughters and Coheirs of John Lord Mohun of Dunster, who was first married to the Lord Fitz-Walter, afterwards to Sir John Golosre Knight, and lastly to Edward Plantagenet Duke of York, (Son of Edmund of Langley, fifth Son of King Edward III.) who was killed at the Battel of Agincourt; she died, and was buried here in the year 1474.

§. 64. Beyond this Tomb, towards* 1.135 the West, under an Arch in the Wall, lies the Image of a woman at full pro∣portion, leaning on her left Arm, in a Cypress vail, all of a mouldering stone, which being decayed by reason of its brittleness, and that the Monu∣ment is very plain, seems to be of much greater Antiquity than really it is, ha∣ving no Inscription, Paintings, or adornments but a Coat of Arms, where Cecill with quarterings, Impaling Man∣nors is to be seen, and was here placed for the Lady Elizabeth, sole-Daughter and Heir of Edward Mannors Earl

of Rutland by Isabel his Wife, Daugh∣ter of Sir Thomas Holcroft, of the Vale Royal in the County of Che∣ster Knight; she was Wife of Sir William Cecill Knight, commonly cal∣led Lord Burleigh, Son and Heir ap∣parent to Thomas Earl of Exeter, by whom she had Issue William called Lord Ross; she departed this life the eleventh of May, anno 1591. and lieth here, as the entering thereof in the Heralds Office, and those Arms above, placed over her Effigies do sufficiently testifie.

§. 65. Next to this is a Monument* 1.136 of Alabaster, Porphyry, and diverse coloured stones, adorned and gilt with Gold, having on the Pedestal the Image of a young man and woman kneeling, with a little Babe in swadling bands between them, and on a Table suppor∣ted by this Pedestal is a large Statue of a Lady at full proportion combant, in her Robes of Estate of the same Ala∣baster, painted, and gilt with Gold, and environed with a Grate, where the Lady Winifrid, Marchioness of Win∣chester is said to be intombed, she was descended from the antient Family of

the Bruges, first married to Sir Richard Sackvile Knight, Chancellour of the Ex∣chequer, by whom she had the Lord Buckhurst, and the Lady Dacres of the South, with other Children, after∣wards to John Paulet Marquess of Winchester, whose Widow she died in the year 1586.

§. 66. On the South side of this* 1.137 Chappel is an antient Tomb in the Wall of grey Marble, with his Por∣traiture ingraven on Brass in his Episcopal habit, with a Miter on his head, and a Crosier Staff in his hand, canopied with an Arch of curious wrought stone, under which William Sutton alias Dudley, Bishop of Durham lies interred; he was the Son of John Lord Dudley, and died about the year 1482. as may be gathe∣thered from part of an Epitaph still remaining in Brass round the Verge of his Tomb.

§. 67. Here is a most noble and* 1.138 Magnificent Monument towards the Southeast part Angle of this Chappel, set up against the same Wall by the command and charge of William Cecill,

Lord Burlegh to the remembrance of his Wife and Daughter, being twenty four foot high, containing divers Arches and Canopies supported by Corinthian Pillars and adorned with Pyramids, of Porphyry, Lydian, Touch, and various coloured Marble, curiously carved, and gilt with Gold. On the upper part of this Monument under a small Arch is a little figure of an anti∣ent man praying on his knees, and in his Parliament Robes, with the Collar and Jewel of the Order of St. George about his neck, to represent the afore∣said William Cecil Lord Burlegh, Lord High Treasurer of England, Privy Counsellour to Queen Elizabeth, and Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, who died on the fourth day of August in the year 1598. and lay in state in this Church six days; after∣wards he was translated to Stam∣ford, where in St. Martins Church his body was interred. On the Pede∣stal are two Images at full proportion cumbant in their Robes of Estate of Alabaster, painted, and adorned with Gold, the furthermost of Mildred Lady Burlegh, Wife of the above-said Willi∣am, she was the eldest Daughter of

Sir Anthony Coke Knight, by Anne the Daughter of Sir William Fitz-Williams Knight, who was a Lady of no less eminent in her time for her extraordi∣nary Charity, than for her Piety and great Learning, being well versed in the Greek and Latine Tongues; she had many Children by her Husband, all dying in their Infancy except Anne, Robert, and Elizabeth. She died in her grand Climacterick year on the fourth day of April 1589▪ and was buried from her house at Westminster in this Chappel. The other of her Daughter the Lady Anne, Countess of Oxford, who maried Edward Vere, Lord High Chamberlain of England, and the seven∣teenth (of the name of Vere) Earl of Oxford, by whom she left Issue only three Daughters, who dying at the Queens Palace of Greenwich on the fifth day of June 1588. was brought and interred in the floor of this Chap∣pel. On each side of this Pedestal are two Canopies, supported by some little Corinthian Columns, curious∣ly painted with Azure, and gilt with Gold, underneath each of which is a Deaths-head enchased in Crystal, with with these words, Mors Janua vitae,

and Mors mihi Lucrum; by the latter, at the head of their Mother and Grand∣mother are three little Images of female Children kneeling, the Lady Eliza∣beth, the Lady Bridget, and the Lady Anne Vere, and by the former, at the feet of his Mother and Sister the figure only of a Youth kneeling, for Robert Cecill, Son of the above-mentioned William and the Lady Mildred his Wife, who married Elizabeth Brook, Daughter of the Lord Cobham, all living when this Monument was erected.

§. 68. Beyond this, against the East* 1.139 Wall, is another comly Monument, where under an Artificial Canopy, the Curtains withdrawn, and held up by two Corinthian Pillars of divers colou∣red Alabaster and Marble, adorned and gilt with Gold, are two Images kneeling at a Table, the one of a Knight in Armour, placing his left hand on a Deaths-head: The other of his Lady, with a Book lying before her on the same Table, praying and lifting up their eyes towards the Azure Sky, representing an Artificial Heaven, painted on the roof of the Canopy,

beset with Cherubims, little Angels, and gilded Stars: On the out-side of the same Monument are many larger figures of Angels, naked Youths, and Cupids, all of polished Alabaster, with a Fame standing on a bleeding heart, with a device and Motto, being set up here by Sir George Fane of Buston Knight, in the County of Kent, for the Lady Elizabeth his Wife, who was Daughter of Robert Baron Spencer of Wormleighton, who died in the year 1618.

§. 69. Under this Monument, close* 1.140 to the Wall, is an antient plain raised Tomb of grey Marble, with an In∣scription in Brass round the ledge still remaining, and some Coats of Arms on the Pedestal, whereby may be ga∣thered, that Nicolas Baron Carew, and his Wife the Lady Margaret, who was the Daughter of Sir John Dinham Knight, were here intombed; he dy∣ing on the sixth day of December in the year 1470. and she on the thir∣teenth day of the same month and year following.

§. 70. Next to this Tomb is a most* 1.141 noble Monument twenty four foot high, admirably adorned with curious wrought stones, Pyramids, and Co∣rinthian Columns of Porphyry, Lydian, and various coloured Marble, where under a large Arch, set forth with di∣vers ingenuities, Coats of Arms, and other Adornments, and rich gildings, is the Image of a Lady, lying at full proportion in her Robes of Estate, painted, and gilt with Gold, and en∣vironed with an Iron Grate, being erected by Edward Earl of Hertford to the remembrance of his Mother the Lady Anne, Dutchess of Somerset, who was the Wife of Edward Seymour Duke of Somerset, Earl of Hert∣ford, &c. Knight of the most noble Or∣der of the Garter, and Ʋncle to King Edward VI. She was the Daughter of Sir Edward Stanhope Knight, by Eli∣zabeth his Wife, Daughter of Sir Foulke Bourchier Lord Fitz-warin, who by his Father was descended from Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Glocester, Son to King Edward III. She died on the sixteenth day of April anno 1587. in the ninetieth year of her age, having

Issue by her Husband three Sons, and six Daughters, and was here in∣terred.

§. 71. Before this Monument of the* 1.142 Dutchess of Somerset, on the Area, is a late erected Tomb of a curious form, whose Pedestal is composed of four large Cherubims of rough Alabaster, which support a square Table of ad∣mirable polished black Marble, rising every way from the Superficies to a convenient height, whose Angles are all conjoyned, and covered by a Ducal Coronet of white Marble, encompas∣sed with an Iron Grate, and gilt with Gold, under which lies the Lady Jane Clifford, Wife of Charles Lord Clif∣ford and Dungarvan, Son and Heir apparent to Richard Earl of Burling∣ton, &c. She was the Daughter of William Duke of Somerset, Grand∣daughter to Edward Earl of Hertford, and Great-grand-daughter to Edward Duke of Somerset, who was Uncle King Edward VI. and therefore had this Monument erected for her hard by her Great-grandmothers. She had Issue five Sons, and six Daughters, de∣parting this life on the twenty third of

November 1679. in the 42. year of her Age.

§. 72. On the left hand of the door* 1.143 as you come into this Chappel is a lit∣tle Table Monument of one intire black Marble stone placed on a Pedestal of Alabaster, adorned with Arms, Epitaphs, and gilt with Gold, for Elizabeth the Wife of Sir Robert Cecill Knight, Son of William Lord Burlegh, Lord High Treasurer of England, and Privy Coun∣sellour to Queen Elizabeth. She was the Daughter of William Brooke Lord Cobham, and as a remembrance of her had this Tomb placed here by her Husband in the year 1591.

§. 73. In the midst of the Pavement* 1.144 of this Chappel is a most noble Tomb, composed of a black Marble Table, of one intire Lydian stone, curiously po∣lished, and supported by a Pedestal of black and white Marble, embellished with divers carved Figures, Coats of Arms and Masons work. On this Ta∣ble is placed the Image of a Knight in ••ompleat Armour Cap à Piè, support∣ing his feet by a Lion couchant; with ••nother of his Lady, her feet resting

on the like Lion, vested with a Man∣tle of Estate, and having on her head the Coronet of a Countess, all wrought and graved out of curious white Mar∣ble, and was set up here by George Vil∣lers, the first Duke of Buckingham of that surname, to the remem∣brance of Sir George Villers Knight, his Father, and the Lady Mary Beau∣mont, Countess of Buckingham, his Mother.

§. 74. On the South side of this* 1.145 Tomb is a small Pyramid of white Marble, on the top of which is placed a golden Cup, whose Pedestal of black Marble, adorned with Arms, Epi∣taphs, and gilt with Gold, informs us, that the heart of Anna Sophia an Infant (Daughter to Christopher Har∣lee Count Bellomont, Praefect of Paris, Privy Counsellour to the French King, and his Embassadour here in England, by the Lady Anne Robota his Wife) is posited in the aforesaid Chalice, who died in the year 1605.

§. 75. On the East side the Pave∣ment* 1.146 of this Chappel, by the base of the Tomb of the Lady Jane Clifford, and not far from that of the Lord Carew, is a plated Grave-stone of grey Mar∣ble, whereon the Effigies of a Knight in Armour is lively engraven, with an Epitaph, and at each corner a Coat of Arms, informing us, that under that Stone lies the body of Sir Humphrey Stanley Knight, one of the Gentlemen of the Bed-chamber to King Henry VII. who died on the twelfth day of March anno 1505.

§. 76. Leaving this Chappel, and keeping straight forward we go up by an easie ascent of twelve Greeses or steps of Freestone thorough three Portico's, which lead us to as many brazen doors, nobly and richly ador∣ned with Grate-works, Roses, Port∣cullises, and Flowers de Liz, the several badges of the Founder, which lets us into the

Chappel of the B. Virgin Mary,

§. 77. Or King Henry VII. as it is* 1.147 vulgarly called, by reason that he com∣manded it to be erected, and was at the charge thereof. This Chappel, so much admired by Strangers, and esteemed by us, rather exceeds in beauty and ex∣cellent contrivance than equals the same thereof, for if we respect the ad∣mirable Architecture, and most noble Roof, we there behold a most delight∣ful* 1.148 sight. On either side we are enter∣tained with no less than 120 several* 1.149 Statues of the Primitive Saints and Martyrs, and round about other lesser Images and Antick figures, so excel∣lently carved, and curiously ingraven, that many experienced in the Art of Painting have not neglected the copy∣ing them; the curious workmanship of the Staules, with the rest of the* 1.150 fine wrought Wainscot, that serves to adorn this Chappel, ought not to be passed over without your observati∣on; nor are the Windows (where* 1.151 with this Chappel is further embelli∣shed) to be neglected, every light composed of Diapered and well painted

glass, each Pane containing either a Red Rose, the Badge or Cognizance of the House of Lancaster, or a Text H, the Initial Letter of this Kings name, each crowned with a Royal Dia∣dem. But above all, the magnificent and glorious Monuments and noble* 1.152 Tombs of those illustrious Princes who have been interred and depo∣sited here deserve a more particular description.

§. 78. To begin then with that of* 1.153 the Founder of this admirable Fabrick, which stands at the upper end of this his Chappel, being all of solid Brass, about eighteen foot in length, six in breadth, and nine in depth; open on the top, with a continual Battlement going quite round, where in the midst of every Square, and at each Angle is a great Rose, representing so many Bulwarks encompassing a Royal Fort; whilst on the under part of this state∣ly Structure, supporting these Battle∣ments, are divers Pillars full of Ni∣ches, and in each Nich were as many brazen Statues gilt with Gold, with other Images, of the Apostles, Fathers, and Doctors of the Church; which in

great part are now stolen away: The work that fills up the spaces and squares between each of these Pillars from the bottom to the top is all Grate∣work, representing the nature of a Vine, curling and twining its branches to and fro for the conveniency of the Dragons and Greyhounds to en∣counter or chase on the other, with which Figures the whole work is inter∣laced. Round about the cross bars, which go quite round the midst of this Tonument, is an Epitaph in Latine Verse, made to the commendations of the Founder: On the North and South side of this Case, or Fence, or rather small Chappel, to the noble Tomb within, you have two brazen doors, which are seldom opened by reason the Grate-work gives Spectators a suffici∣ent view of the Tomb: Which Tomb is a Pedestal of about five foot from the ground, of black Marble, every way adorned with gilded brass, of ad∣mirable workmanship: on which Pe∣destal are placed the Images, all of so∣lid Brass, and gilt with Gold, in their Royal Habiliments, of that great King Henry VII. of England, and Elizabeth his Queen, Daughter of Edward IV.

under each of whose Images are divers Inscriptions in Brass gilt, to inform you from whence they derived their Linage and Descent. On the outside of this brazen Monument there be two antient Tables in writing, with many Verses, composed by Skelton, the Kings Orator and Poet Laureat, as he stiles him, in which he blazons forth the com∣mendations and virtues of that excel∣lent Prince and Queen, which I have* 1.154 transcribed for your satisfaction, and you may find among the Monumental Inscriptions.

§. 79. At the head of his Grand∣father* 1.155 King Henry VII. was Edward VI. K. of England France, and Ireland, interred under a brazen Altar, artificially wrought, and gilt with Gold, of which there is nothing now remaining. He was Son to Henry VIII. by Jane Seymour his Queen, being crowned the twenty eighth of January 1546. and died the sixth of July 1553. (as it is supposed) of an untimely death. The Altar and Sepulchre, before mentioned, wherein the body of King Henry VII. resteth, was made and finished in the year 1519. by one Peter a Painter of Flo∣rence,

for which he received no more than one thousand pounds sterling for the whole stuff and workmanship, so cheap and so excellent was work in those days.

§. 80. On either side of the same* 1.156 Chappel you have several of the An∣cestors and Successors of the Founder interred. On the South side, behind the staules of the Quire, towards the East, is a noble raised Tomb of black Marble, curiously wrought, and ador∣ned with gilded Brass, Arms, an Epi∣taph round the Verge, and environed with a Grate, whereon is placed the Image of a Lady in her Robes of Estate, all of solid Brass, and gilt with Gold, with the model of two Pillars on each side her, after which form she caused the noble structures which she erected to be composed, under which lies Margaret Countess of Richmond and Derby, one of the Daughters and Heirs of John Duke of Somerset, by Margaret the Daughter of the Lord Beauchamp of Powick. She was first married to Edmund the Son of Owen Tuder, by whom she had Henry VII. King of England, and afterwards to

Edward Stanley Earl of Derby. She built two Colledges at Cambridge, Christchurch, and St. Johns, instituted a Divinity Lecture in either University, gave much to religious Houses, and indowed her Foundations with ample Revenues, and after she had seen her Grandson King Henry VIII. crowned, she died in the year 1509.

§. 81. At the lower end, towards* 1.157 the West of this side of the Chappel, is a comely Tomb of Alabaster, black and diverse coloured stones, and on the Pedestal six little Images of young men kneeling, with two women all of the same Alabaster, set about with Arms, and gilt with Gold, lies the Image at full proportion, in her Robes of Estate, curiously painted, and gilt with Gold, of Margaret Countess of Levenox, Daughter and sole Heir of Archibald Earl of Auguise, by Marga∣ret, Queen of Scots, his Wife, eldest Daughter to King Henry VII. She married Mathew Stuart Earl of Le∣venox, by whom she had Henry Lord Darly, Father to King James VI. of Scotland, and first Monarch of Great Britain. She died anno 1578.

§. 82. Between these two Monu∣ments* 1.158 of Margaret Countess of Rich∣mond, and Margaret Countess of Le∣venox, is a most stately Monument, erected by the order of King James for his Mother, Mary Queen of Scots, whose Image in her Royal Habiliments, painted, and gilt with Gold, is placed on a noble Pedestal of curious wrought Alabaster, overshadowed by an arched Canopy, supported by eight Corin∣thian Pillars of black Marble, the Ca∣pitals and Pedestals gilt, the Archi∣trave adorned with Arms, and the whole of an admirable composure. This Lady for whom this Monument was framed was Daughter and Heir to James V. King of Scotland, the Son of James IV. and Margaret his Queen, eldest Daughter to King Henry VII. of England. She was married to Francis the Dauphin, afterwards King of France, by the name of Francis the Second, after whose death she married the Lord Darly, by whom she had James her Son and Heir, during whose minority, being driven by her rebelli∣ous Subjects from her Kingdom, and casting her self upon the protection

of Queen Elizabeth, she underwent the hard fortune to be imprisoned almost twenty years, and at last was beheaded in the forty sixth year of her age anno 1587. being buried at Peterborough, but upon the coming of King James to the Crown of Eng∣land, he commanded her body to be translated from thence, and here ho∣nourably to be intombed in a Vault un∣derneath her Monument.

§. 83. On the North side of this* 1.159 Chappel, behind the Staules, you have another most Magnificent and Royal Monument, made altogether after the same fashion with that of Mary Queen of Scots, the Canopy supported by Corinthian Pillars, set about with Arms, with the Image thereon of Elizabeth Queen of England, in her Royal Habiliments, painted, and gilt with Gold, which was erected like∣wise by the order of King James, for Mary Queen of England, France, and Ireland, (Daughter to Henry VIII. by Katharine, Daughter to Ferdinand King of Spain, who succeeded her Brother King Edward VI. to his Crown and Kingdoms, anno 1553. who after

her marriage with Philip II. King of Spain, died in the year 1558.) and Elizabeth ••er Sister, Daughter likewise of King Henry VIII. by his second Wife Anne Bullen, who after she had reigned forty four years, four Months, and eight days, died on the twenty fourth day of March anno 1602. and was buried in the same Vault by her Sister, just under this Tomb.

§. 84. At the upper end of this* 1.160 North side, towards the East, within a Baluster, or Rail of Iron, you have three small, but curious Tombs; that towards the North is a Child in a Cra∣dle made of Alabaster, finely engra∣ven, and gilt with Gold, being set on a Pedestal of black Marble, and was placed here likewise by the order of King James for his Daughter Sophia an Infant, who was born on the 22 day of June, anno 1606. and died three days after.

§. 85. The other towards the South,* 1.161 is a neat raised Tomb of Alabaster and Touch, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, whereon is placed the Image of a Child lying at length, and

leaning on her left Arm, composed of white Marble, and lively painted, for another Daughter of King James Mo∣narch of Great Britain, viz. Mary, who died on the sixteenth day of De∣cember anno 1607. being two years, five months, and eight days old.

§. 86. Between these is the third,* 1.162 where, in the Wall is a Nich cut on purpose, and a curious Altar of black and white Marble, admirably polished, with two Crowns, and as many golden branches of Palm, with an Epitaph en∣graven on the Pedestal, informing us, that his present Majesty Charles II. Mo∣narch of Great Britain, commanded this to be erected to revive and per∣petuate the remembrance of his Kins∣men those Princely Youths who were most barbarously smothered to death with Pillows in the Tower of Lon∣don, by the cruelty of their unnatural Uncle King Richard III. viz. Edward V. King of England, and Richard Duke of York his Brother, whose bodies, so long sought for (but in vain) by reason of the sudden death of the Priest who buried them, were lately found by undoubted circumstances on

the seventeenth day of July 1674. after* 1.163 196 years obscurity: For some alte∣rations being ordered to be made in the Tower of London about this time, and ••h•• Workmen taking up the steps en••••ring the Chappel belonging to the White Tower, they found these bod••••s there-under deposited; which our most Royal Sovereign, out of his noble and compassionate nature, pitying their unjust punishment, and hard fortune, commanded with all decency and reverence to be transla∣ted, and reinterred here, among ashes equally as Royal as their own, which was performed accordingly, anno 1678.

§. 87. At the head of Mary and Elizabeth, Queens of England, in a small Vault, capable of no more than two Coffins, are deposited in leaden Chests George Monke Duke of Albe∣marle, and Edward Mountague Earl of Sandwich. These loyal and most worthy Gentlemen, who as yet have no Monuments erected for them, but their Banners, Pennons, Guidons, and other Ensigns of honour, are hung up here as Trophies of their incomparable

fame. The Statue of the Duke of Al∣bemarle, in compleat Armour, with his Parliament Robes as a Mantle cove∣ring them, with the Collar of the Order of St. George round his neck, a Battoon in his hand, and a Coronet on his head, is likewise placed in a Press of Wainscot further to remember him.

§. 88. This George Monke was Son* 1.164 to Sir Thomas Monke of Potheridge in the County of Devon Knight, who having much delighted from his youth and practised a military course of life as well in forain parts as at home, after the Martyrdom of King Charles I. and the expulsion of his Royal Issue, was intrusted by the Usurpers with the command of one of their Armies, and made General in the North. But such was the integrity of this illustrious Hero, and true loyalty to his Masters Chil∣dren, that he held correspondency with the King during his exile, and only waited the opportunity (which was afterwards put into his hands) of restoring him to his Kingdoms; for which good services, and that by the Lady Frances, Daughter and Coheir

to Arthur Plantagenet, natural Son to King Edward IV. Wife of Thomas Monke Esquire, his lineal Ancestor, he was descended from Edward Grey Vis∣count Lisle, Son to the renowned John Talbot, sometime Earl of Shrewsbu∣ry, by Margaret his Wife, of that va∣liant Earl from the famous Richard Beauchamp Earl of Warwick and Au∣marle, Regent of France, (whose eldest Daughter and Co-heir she was) he had by Letters Patent, bearing date the seventh day of July, in 12 Car. 2. these several Dignities and Titles of honour conferred upon him, and the Heirs Males of his body, viz. Baron Monke of Potheridge, Beauchamp, and Teyes; Earl of Torrington, and Duke of Albemarle, and shortly after instauled Knight of the most noble Or∣der of the Garter. He married Anne the Sister of Sir Thomas Clarges Knight, and died on the fourth of January 1669. leaving Christopher his Son and Suc∣cessor. A Cenotaph was here erected, with his Statue thereon, standing ma∣ny days in the body of this Church, and on the day of his interment there was a most solemn Funeral Pomp, with all the Nobility and chief Gentry

of the Kingdom attending him to the Grave, by the express order, and at the charge of our present Sovereign, to whom he was most dear.

§. 89. Edward Mountague, his Com∣panion* 1.165 both in life and death, was Son and Heir to Sir Sydney Mountague, de Hinchinbrooke, in the County of Huntingdon Knight, who was youngest Brother to Edward the first Lord Mountague of Boughton. This Edward (no less than his f••llow-Soul∣dier the Duke of Albemarle by land) became intrusted with the like power of being Admiral by Sea, and by the same Usurpers, where for a time both of them were forced to dis∣guise their honest thoughts by a seem∣ing compliance with their unjust tyranny. By which means they be∣came the chief and happy▪ Instruments, without any opposition, of restoring again the Laws, Liberties, Peace, and Tranquillity of these Kingdoms, and their lawful Sovereign, after twelve years exile, to his undoubted Right and Inheritance: For which good ser∣vices he was made Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, a Baron of

this Realm, by the Title of Lord Moun∣tague of S. Neots in Com. Hunt. Viscount Hinchinbrooke, and Earl of Sandwich. But being Vice-Admiral to his Royal Highness James Duke of York and Albany, in the Sea-fight be∣tween the English and the Dutch, on the twenty eighth of May, Anno 1672. had his Ship, called the Royal Iames, most unfortunately set on ••ir••, where he lost his life in the forty seventh year of his age, his body be∣ing afterwards found on the Sea Coast was taken up and brought to Westmin∣ster in great state, and here honoura∣bly interred. He married Semina Daughter to John Lord Crew de Stene in Com. North. and had Issue six Sons, Edward, Sydney, Oliver, John, Charles, and James, and four Daugh∣ters, Jemina, Paulina, Anne, and Ka∣tharine.

§. 90. On each side of the Foun∣ders* 1.166 Tomb are two small Chappels: In that on the North is a most Magni∣ficent and stately Monument for George Villers, that Great Duke of Bucking∣ham, who was slain at Portsmouth with a Ponyard (in his Expedition to

the Isle of Rea) by the impious hands of Felton, a Lieutenant under his Command, in the year 1634. ••e mar∣ried Katharine the Daughter and Heir of the Earl of Rutland, and had se∣veral Children by her, viz. M••ry, Charles, (who died in their i••••••ncy) George the present Duke of Bucking∣ham, and Francis. This Tomb for its admirable composure of Lydian, Touch, and divers rich Marbles, and curious Statues of solid Brass, and gilt with Gold, is scarce to be equalled in all Europe, for on the East Wall of this Chappel there runs up a Com∣partment from the Pavement to the Roof of black and white Marble, richly adorned, wherein all that is ex∣cellent in Architecture, Carving, Ma∣sons work, or Sculpture, is there to be seen; the variety of noble Columns, Embattlements, Arches, Niches, Pe∣destals, Architraves, Statues, and infi∣nite other Figures, all wrought in stone, or burnished Brass, gilt with Gold, make •• sweet harmony of com∣posure, the little Hymens extingui∣shing their Torches, and weeping Cu∣pids neglecting their imployments, with those large•• Statues of Mars,

Neptune, Pallas, and Bounty, that are placed at the four corners of the Pe∣destal, before as many▪ noble Pyramids of black Marble, set about with War∣like Trophies, and supported from their Pedestals by sixteen Deaths heads of gilded Brass, are subjects expressing an universal mourning: But when we behold the Statue of this illustrious Hero himself, with that awful Majestick countenance mixt with greatness and affability; and the Image of his Lady lying by him, with a Fame at their feet, even bursting her self, and Trum∣pets to tell the news of his so sudden fall, we cannot but be concerned, yet pleased to see such lively representati∣ons and speaking figures, which seem really to be affected with a sense of sor∣row and disconsolation.

§. 91. On the South side of the* 1.167 aforesaid Founders Tomb is the other Chappel, wherein is another Majestick and Prince like Monument, little in∣feriour to that of the Duke of Buck∣ingham, but of another manner of composure, for on a large raised Pede∣stal of black Marble, richly adorned with curious wrought Brass, gilt with

Gold, and set about with Arms, are placed the Images of of Lodowick Stu∣art, Duke of Richmond and Levenox, Earl of Newcattle upon Tine, and Lord Darnley, Lord High Chamber∣lain of Scotland, and hereditary Ad∣miral, Lord High Steward of his Ma∣jesties Houshold, first Gentleman of the Bedchamber, Privy Counsellour, and Cousin German to King James, and Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter; with the Lady Frances his Wife, Daughter of Thomas Lord Ho∣ward of Bindon, Son to the Duke of Norfolk, &c. The Statues of these two illustrious persons all of solid Brass, gilt with Gold, in their Robes of Estate, lying upon the aforesaid Pe∣destal, under a stately Canopy, tho∣rough wrought, and curiously engra∣ven, of the same gilded Brass, resting it self on an Architrave of black Mar∣ble, supported at the four corners by the Statues of Faith, Hope, Charity, and Prudence, which serve as mour∣ners in their Cypress Vails, continually to attend, and seem to lament their departure, in which posture their Fi∣gures are lively expressed all of the same Brass; on the top of this Canopy

is a Fame and round about divers Cen∣cers, Angels, Hymens, Cupids, and other Imagery work, by which the whole becomes very curious and mag∣nificent.

§. 92. At the feet of this Duke and* 1.168 his Dutchess, against the East Wall is a small Pyramid of black and white Marble, with an Urn placed on the top, and a Coronet encompassing the 〈…〉〈…〉 gilt with Gold, for Esme Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Levenox, who was Son of James Stuart Duke of Richmond, &c. And the Lady Mary his Wife, only Daughter of George Duke of Buckingham. This Esme died at Paris on the fourteenth day of August 1661. in the eleventh year of his Age▪ from whence he was brought and interred here.

§. 93. These are all the Monuments and Tombs that we meet with above ground in this stately Chappel, except the Image of Lodowick Stuart Duke of Richmond, as above, and his Dut∣chess, which are placed in a Press of Wainscot, not far from their Monu∣ment, in their Robes of Estate. But

under-ground, and in the Vaults there are many more.

§. 94. In a Vault on the North side* 1.169 the Tomb of King Henry VII. was James King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, interred in a Chest of Lead covered with black Velvet, with Anne Queen of Eng∣land his Wife, Grandfather and Grandmother to our present Sove∣reign.

§. 95. At the East end of this Chappel, under the great East Win∣dow is another large Vault, with a light belonging thereto wherein are depo∣sited in Chests of Lead, covered with Velvet these persons following, viz.

§. 96. Charles Earl of Doncaster,* 1.170 eldest Son of James Duke of Mon∣mouth, (Baron of Tinedale, Viscount Doncaster, and Knight▪ of the most noble Order of the Garter, natural Son to his present M••jesty) by the Lady Anne, Daughter ••nd sole Heir to Fran∣cis Earl of Bucklugh in Scotland, he died on the ninth of February 1673. aged one year five months, and fifteen days.

§. 97. Next to him lies the Dutchess* 1.171 of Southampton, Daughter of Sir Henry Wood, and Wife of Charles Fitz-Roy, (natural Son to King Charles II.) Duke of Southampton, Earl of Chichester, Baron of Newbery, and Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter.

§. 98. By whom is posited Charles* 1.172 Fitz-Charles, (natural Son to his pre∣s••••t Majesty) Earl of Plymouth, Viscount Totnes, and Baron Dart∣mouth, who in the Expedition of Tangier 1680. against the Moors, fell sick of a Fever, and died there, but was afterwards brought and interred here.

§. 9••. By him lies the noble Earl of* 1.173 Ossery, one of the Privy Council to our Royal Sovereign, Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, and eldest Son to James Duke of Ormond, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

§. 100. On the North side of this* 1.174 Chappel is another spacious Vault wherein are these following persons interred, viz. The Lady Arabella Stu∣art,

whose Coffin, wherein her Corps do repose, is the furthest next the North Wall of this Vault, much shat∣tered and broken, that her Skull and great part of her body may be seen, she was only Daughter and Heir to Charles Earl of Levenox, (by the Daughter of Sir William Caven∣dish Knight,) and Cousin-German to King James.

§. 101. Upon this of the Lady Ara∣bella* 1.175 is placed the Chest or Leaden Coffin, wherein Mary Queen of Scots, (Mother to King James, who was decollated by Queen Elizabeth, and was brought from Peterborough hi∣ther,* 1.176 as I have said before) lies in∣tombed.

§. 102. Nigher the entrance of the* 1.177 Vault by the same North Wall is the leaden Chest of Henry Duke of Glo∣cester, fourth Son to King Charles I. and youngest Brother to his present Majesty, who died of the small Pox, soon after the restauration, anno 1660.

§. 103. On this Coffin of Prince* 1.178 Henry Duke of Glocester lies Henry Frederick his Uncle, ••ho was the ••••dest Son of King James, and Prince of Wales, the l•••••• or case wherein ••is body •••• unwrapped is shaped after the figure of his body, and so to be distinguished ••••om the rest of the Cof∣fins i•• th•• 〈…〉〈…〉 Vault; he died in the 〈…〉〈…〉 bowels ar•• buried in 〈…〉〈…〉 of the Vault, a•• the head of the Princess Royal, as may be 〈…〉〈…〉 by an Inscription graven thereon in 〈…〉〈…〉

§. 104. On the South side of this* 1.179 〈…〉〈…〉, at the lower ••nd, is a large 〈…〉〈…〉 of Lead, covered with black Velvet, wherein the Corps of Anne (first Wife to his Royal Highness, Prince James Duke of York, only Bro∣ther and Heir now living of his present Majesty,) do repose; She was Daugh∣ter to Edward Earl of Clarendon, and sometime Lord Chancellour of England, who died at her Palace of St. Iames's on the last day of March, anno 1671. in the 34 year of her age.

§. 105. In the midst of the Vault,* 1.180 between the Lady Arabella Stuart and this Anne Dutchess of York, lies the Princess Royal (in a large Coffin or Chest of Lead) the Lady Elizabeth, eldest Sister to his present Majesty, and Mother to Henry now Prince of Orange and Nassau; She died on the twenty first of December, anno 1660.

§. 106. On this is another leaden* 1.181 Chest for the Princess Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia; she was the only Daughter of King James the sixth of Scotland, and first of England, Wife to Frederick King of Bohemia, and Prince Elector of the Empire, Sister to King Charles the First, A•••••• to his present Majesty, and Mother to his Highness Prince Rupert, Count Pala∣tine, and Duke of Cumberland; she died at Leicester-house on the thirteenth of Februarr, anno 1661. in the sixty sixth year of her age.

§. 111. Charles Duke of Cambridge,* 1.186 fifth Son of James Duke of York, &c. by the Lady Mary D'Este his second Wife, who died at St. Iames on the twelfth day of December, anno 1677. aged only thirty five days, he lies in a leaden Coffin, covered with Velvet, on the feet of his great great Grandmother Mary Queen of Scots.

§. 112. The Lady Henrietta, third* 1.187 Daughter of James Duke of York, &c. by Anne his first Wife, who died at St. Iames's on the fifteenth day of November, anno 1669. aged about ten months, and is deposited in a leaden Coffin, covered with black Velvet, on her great Uncle Henry Frederick Prince of Wales.

§. 116. Note that at the feet of most of these leaden Chests, except those of the smallest Children, are several Urns or Pots of lead, covered with black Velvet, wherein their bowels are conserved.

§. 117. There is a small Vault ad∣joyning* 1.191 to this, wherein are only two Coffins of lead, the one on the other, the undermost of which is very much shaken and decayed, so that the Ske∣leton and perched skin of the interred is to be seen, being the remains of Charles Earl of Levenox, youngest Son to Matthew Earl of Levenox, and the Lady Margaret his Countess, Grandfa∣ther and Grandmother to King James, he died anno 1576.

§. 118. In the other Capsula or Chest* 1.192 of lead is the body of the aforesaid Margaret, Mother to Charles Earl of Levenox, and Grandmother to King James, of whom I have said more in the description of her Monument, under which this Vault is made; she died anno 1578.

§. 119. Coming down the stairs of this Chappel the same way we went up, the first place we meet with on the North side is

The Chappel of St. Paul,

Wherein are these Monuments, viz. on* 1.193 the right hand of the door as you come in is an ancient Tomb of Freestone, on whose Pedestal are several Coats of Arms, carved and encompassed with the Garter, on each side of which are two Lions sejant, and as many Eagles, each of them supporting a Standard or Banner with the Arms of Robsert and Bourchier, with quarterings: On this Pedestal are two Coffins of lead, in∣closed and covered with Wainscote and Oaken boards of a coped form, under a low arched Canopy of the foregoing stone, without any Inscripti∣tion, Table, or Epitaph, but therein are deposited the remains of Lodowick Robsert Lord Bourchier and his Lady. This Lodowick, or Lewis, being an Ali∣en, born in the parts of Henault, and succeeding Sir John Robsert Knight in the Captainship of St. Saviour le

Viscount in Normandy was made a free Denizen of this Realm in the sixth of Henry V. created Knight of the Bath in the eighth year of his Reign, and was by Letters Patents at Trois in Champaine constituted the Kings Standard-bearer, and afterwards Knight of the Garter, and one of the Executors to that King. He married Elizabeth Daughter and Heir to Bartho∣lomew Lord Bourchier, Widow of Sir Hugh Stafford Knight, and had sum∣mons to Parliament by the Title of Lord Bourchier in the 3, 4, 5, and 7 of Henry VI. he died anno 1431. and had this Monument erected to his memory▪ being adorned and set out with many Arms of the Nobility both of England and Henault, and several Sentences intermixed in letters of Gold.

§. 120. On the South side of this* 1.194 Chappel, next to this Tomb of Lodo∣wick Robsert Lord Bourchier, is a stately Monument, above twenty six foot high, of admirable Workman∣ship, composed of Lydian, Alabaster, and Touch: The joyning of the Com∣partments, with the Capitals and Pe∣destals

of the Ionick and Corinthian Columns are framed of artificial wrought Brass. The demy Effigies of a Lady is placed towards the top, of curious Statuary work of the same brass, gilt with Gold, within an Oval of black Marble, below which is an Altar of the same stone sweetly car∣ved, with other adornments, and was erected by that Loyal Gentleman Fran∣cis Lord Cottington Baron of Han∣worth, to remember the no less ho∣nourable and virtuous Lady Anne his Wife, who was the Daughter of Sir William Meredith of the County of Denbigh Knight, and dying on the twenty second day of February, anno 1633, in the thirty third year of her age was buried here, leaving Issue be∣hind her, only one Son and one Daugh∣ter, viz. Charles, and Anne.

§. 121. At the foot of this Monu∣ment* 1.195 is another noble Tomb, lately erected for her Husband, the Lord Francis Cottington of Hanworth, where on a Table of black Marble, supported by six Columns of Lydian and white, placed on an ascent of three Greeses, and environed with a Grate, lies his

Statue at full proportion, on a Quilt, with the Staff of his Office, and co∣vered with a Cloak, all well designed and insculpt in fretted Alabaster. He was Chancellour of the Exchequer to King Charles I. Master of his Court of Wards, Constable of the Tower, Lord High Treasurer of England, and twice Embassadour in Spain, where at length he died in Exile, soon after the bloudy Rebels had murthered his Roy∣al Master, and usurped his Inheri∣tance; but by the pious care of that worthy Gentleman, his Nephew and Heir Charles Cottington Esquire, his body was in the year 1679 translated from Valadolid in Spain, where he died, and honourably interred here, who gratefully erected this Monument to his memory.

§. 122. More to the Southeast An∣gle* 1.196 of this Chappel is another noble Monument, twenty four foot in height, of Alabaster, Marble, and divers co∣loured stones, set about with Corin∣thian Pillars, supporting a stately Ca∣nopy, all curiously wrought, and gilt with Gold, under which lies the Image of a Lady at full proportion, in her

Robes of Estate, painted and gilt with Gold; for Frances Countess of Sussex, who was the Daughter of Sir William Sydney Knight, and Wife to Thomas Ratcliff Earl of Sussex; whose boun∣teous liberality to all sorts of people▪ but especially to Schools of learning and learned men, hath gained her a never dying fame; she died, and was buried here, anno 1589. with this comely Monument erected over her.

§. 123. Next to this, against the East* 1.197 Wall, is a well composed plain Monu∣ment of black and white Marble, ha∣ving but an half Canopy, supported by Dorick Pillars, with the Image of a man in his robes of Estate and Viscounts Coronet, leaning on a Pedestal, all formed of the like black and white Marble, for a remembrance of Sir. Dud∣ley Carleton Knight, Baron of Imber∣court, and Viscount Dorcester, who (after many imployments, and fre∣quent Embassies, wherein he had served his Prince with great faithful∣ness and honour) died at Westmin∣ster, and was buried here anno 1631.

§. 124. Beyond which is a curious* 1.198 Monument, with his Image cumbant, in an embroydered Gown, at full pro∣portion, his feet supported by a Phea∣sant Cock, and on the Pedestal the Images of four Sons, and as many Daughters, all on their knees, covered with a large Canopy, supported by Corinthian Pillars, adorned with Arms, of Alabaster, Marble, and di∣vers coloured stones, painted, and gilt with Gold, for Sir Thomas Bromley Knight, Lord High Chancellour of Eng∣land, and Privy Counsellour to Queen Elizabeth, who died in the year 1587.

§. 125. By this, on the North Wall,* 1.199 is another neat Tomb of black and white Marble, adorned with Arms, with a Pedestal of the same, whereon are placed the Images of a Knight in Armour, cumbant on a Quilt, with his Lady, whose feet are supported by a Bear couchant, all of white polished Marble, with an Epitaph informing us, that Sir James Fullerton Knight, Gen∣tleman of the Bed-chamber to King Charles I. lies there interred; but the

blank Table, whereon (if I conjecture aright) his Ladies Epitaph was de∣signed to be ingraved, leaves us in the dark concerning her, and hath been neglected by those who had the charge thereof.

§. 126. There is a more stately Mo∣nument* 1.200 on this North side, about twen∣ty four foot in height, on whose Pede∣stal of white Marble lie the Images at full proportion of Sir John Puckering, in his embroydered Gown, and his La∣dy, with eight lesser Figures of three Boys, and five Girls kneeling at the foot of the said Pedestal, all of various coloured Alabaster, painted, and gilt with Gold, with a large Canopy over∣shadowing them, finely wrought, and supported by Corinthian Pillars, with other Statues of the Purse and Mace∣bearer, Coats of Arms, Pyramids, and adornments of the same coloured Ala∣baster, Lydian, Porphyry, and white Marble. Tis Sir John was Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, and Privy Counsellour to Queen Elizabeth, who died anno 1596.

§. 127. On the Pavement of this* 1.201 Chappel is a noble raised Tomb, en∣compassed with an iron Grate, where on a curious Pedestal of Alabaster, set about with Arms, painted with Gold and blue, are the Images of a Knight in Armour, with the Collar, Jewel, and Man∣tle of the Garter, reposing his head on his Helm, and supporting his feet by a Lion couchant; and his Lady, all of white pollished Marble, under which lies buried Sir Giles Dawbney Knight, who was Lord Lieutenant of Calis, Lord Chamberlain to King Henry VII. Knight of the most noble Order of the Gar∣ter, and Father to Henry Lord Dawb∣ney, the first and last of that surname, Earl of Bridgwater, with Elizabeth his Wife, descended from the antient Family of the Arundels in Corn∣wall; he died anno 1507. and she 1500.

§. 128. There lie buried likewise in this Chappel Charles de Granada a noble* 1.202 Spaniard; Elizabeth Countess of Or∣mond, Daughter of Thomas Lord Barkley; John Viscount Thurles, a* 1.203 Child of Thomas Earl of Ormond, by

the Daugter of John Lord Sheffield; Michael Bishop of St. Asaph; Sir Ar∣thur* 1.204 Gorge's Lady, who was the Daugh∣ter and Heir of Henry Howard Viscount Bindon: And Katharine Countess of Northumberland, one of the Daugh∣ters and Co-heirs of John Nevil Lord Latimer, who was the Wife of Thomas Percy Earl of Northumberland, none of them having any Monuments, Tombs, or Grave-stones. From this you are led to

The Chappel of St. Iohn Baptist,

§. 129. Where on the right hand of the Entrance, along the South side, are* 1.205 three ancient Marble Tombs, and a stone Coffin: The first is a plain raised Tomb of grey Marble, about a yard from the ground, Canopied with a comely Arch of Freestone, adorned with Arms and Masons-work, which was made for George Flaccet Abbot of this Monastery, but the Inscription and Epitaph round the ledge is torn away.

§. 130. On this Tomb is placed a stone Coffin, with a lid of the same, and a Crucifix carved thereon, where∣in is yet to be seen the bones and Skel∣liton of an embalmed body, much de∣faced, (as it should seem by the re∣moval of this Capsula from some other place,) but whose body it is that lies therein I will not aver, as meeting no evidence sufficient to confirm it. But that it cannot be the body of Humfrey de Bohun, Earl of Essex, Hereford, and Northampton, who was Lord High Constable of England, and the last of that name, (as the Officers of the Church have received it by Tradition) is evident, for that he was buried with his Father, Grandfather, and great-Grandfather, in the Abby Church of Walden in Essex, the antient reposi∣tory of that noble Family, as may be seen more at large in the Monasticon Anglicanum, and in Sir William Dug∣dales Baronage of England; yet two of his Children, which he had by Eliza∣beth* 1.206 the Daughter of Edward I. were buried here, viz. Hugh and Mary. And there is a little Monument against the North Wall of grey Marble, under

that of Thomas Curey, erected for them, from whence this story might take its original; I am inclined therefore to think that it were not improbable to believe it the body of Thomas Myl∣ling,* 1.207 Abbot of Westminster, and Bishop of Hereford, Privy Counsellour, and Favourite to King Edward IV. and Godfather to his eldest Son Prince Ed∣ward, who dying about the year 1493. was buried in the midst of this Chap∣pel, and that when the large Vault and Tomb (which takes up a great part of the Area of this Chappel) was made for Thomas Earl of Exeter, and his Ladies; this Coffin might be taken up and set by here; and the rather for that in Camdens Collection of this Churches Monuments, which were ta∣ken before the erection of the said Tomb, there is no mention of such a Coffin as this, which had it been here in his time, I am persuaded he would not have overpassed without some ob∣servation thereon. Yet further, if we diligently take notice of the Coffin it self, with the form of the Cross on the Cover, and compare it with many more of the like fashion, both at Canterbury, York, Durham, &c. wherein are con∣served

the bodies of some Bishop or Arch∣bishop, it will add to the confirmation of this opinion; but I submit to the more Judicious in Antiquities of this nature.

§. 131. The next to George Flaccet* 1.208 Abbot of Westminster lies Thomas Ruthall, Bishop of Durham, (who was Secretary to King Henry VII. and died in the year 1524.) in a comely Tomb of Freestone, with an arched Canopy, variously adorned, and set forth with Arms, both of his See and Family, under which is his Image in his Episcopal habit, with a Miter on his head, and a Pastoral staff in his left hand, placing his feet on the back of a Lion couchant, but there is no Epitaph or Table belonging there∣to.

§▪ 132. At whose feet is the third* 1.209 ancient Monument, without a Cano∣py, or any Inscription, where, on a raised Pedestal of Freestone, lies the Image of a Mitered Abbot, in the Vest∣ments wherein he was accustomed to sing or say Mass, with a Miter on his head, a Crosier staff in his hand,

and a Ring on his finger, a Spaniel Dog at his feet, and two Angels sup∣porting his Pillow, all of the same Freestone, curiously ingraved, under which William de Colchester, Abbot of Westminster is said to be in∣terred.

§. 133. Against the East Wall of this* 1.210 Chappel is a most magnificent and stately Monument, about twenty six foot high, where by an ascent of Gree∣ses of black and white Marble you are led to a curious fashioned Tomb of an admirable composure, framed of the Porphyry, the Lydian, Touch, Ser∣pentine, Agate, Alabaster, and di∣vers coloured stones, finely wrought, and adorned with Gold: At the four corners whereof are as many Pyramids of black Marble, Supported by Pede∣stals of the same, whereon are placed threescore and four Shields of Arms, painted in their proper colours, with the names, matches, and quarterings be∣longing to that noble Family. These Pyramids and the Tomb are over∣shadowed by a glorious arched Canopy, every where beset with Coats of Arms, Golden Slips, Branches, Pomegranates,

Roses, &c. with other flory and fruit∣work, very pleasant and delightful to behold; on each side of the outward part of this arched Canopy are two Magnificent Pyramids of black Marble, adorned with Shields, Banners, Pen∣nons, Cannon, Culverins, Musquetons, Halberts, Half-pikes, Drums, Fifes, with other Instruments of War, and warlike Trophies, carved on the same Marble, and gilt with Gold. Over the Canopy are no less than twenty several Corinthian Columns, support∣ing and composing various forms of Architecture diversly placed on the noble Arch, whereby the whole be∣comes very beautiful and magnificent; which was erected here by George Ca∣rey Lord Hunsdon (Governour of the Isle of Wight, Knight of the Garter, Privy Counsellour and Lord High Cham∣berlain to Queen Elizabeth) for his Fa∣ther the Lord Henry Carey Baron of Hunsdon, (Governour of Berwick, Captain of the Gentlemen Pensioners, Ju∣stice in Eure on this side Trent, Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, Lord High Chamberlain, Privy Coun∣sellour, and Cousin German to Queen Eli∣zabeth, who died in the 71 year of his

age, anno 1596.) and for his Mother the Lady Anne, Daughter of Sir Tho∣mas Morgan Knight.

§. 134. By these two illustrious per∣sons,* 1.211 in the same Vault, lies Thomas Carey, second Son to Robert Lord Ca∣rey of Leppington, Earl of Mon∣mouth, and Brother to the last Earl of that surname; he was of the Privy Chamber to King Charles I. and greatly favoured by him, but upon the death of that Royal Martyr he fell suddenly sick, and died in the thirty third year of his age, having a little Monument of white Marble against the North-east Angle of this Chappel, placed of late to his memory.

§. 135. Next to which, directly* 1.212 North, are two large Statues at full proportion; The one, of a man in Ar∣mour; The other, of a Lady in a Cy∣press Veil, of white Marble, both re∣posing themselves, and resting their arms on a Table of black, under a Ca∣nopy, the Curtains withdrawn, with an Atchievement of Arms, all of cu∣rious wrought Alabaster, but there is no Inscription or Epitaph, which was

ordered to be defaced upon the restau∣ration of his Sacred Majesty▪ by rea∣son it was set up for one Collonel Ed∣ward Popham, an opposer of his Ma∣jesties undoubted right to his King∣doms, but by the intercession of some of his Ladies Friends, who had emi∣nently served his Majesty▪ the stone was only turned whereon the Epitaph was insculpt, and the Monument per∣mitted to remain,

Sed—

§. 136. On the left hand of the* 1.213 door of this Chappel, towards the West, being the first Tomb on that side, you have under an antient large Arch in the Wall a little Monument of grey Mar∣ble, on which is portraitured and fine∣ly ingraven the Effigies of a Knight in Armour, reposing his head on his Helm, crested with an Unicorns head, coped and crowned, and at each of the four corners a Coat of Arms in∣sculpt of the same brass, with several Caskets and Coffers, with an Inscrip∣tion in part remaining round the Verge of the Tomb, whereby may be gathered, that Sir Thomas Vaughan Knight, who was first Chamberlain to Edward Prince

of Wales, and afterwards Treasurer to his Father King Edward IV. lies un∣derneath.

§. 137. Here is a most noble Tomb* 1.214 in the midst of this Chappel, raised about five foot from the Pavement of black and white Marble, the Pedestal set about with fourteen Escutcheons of Arms, and on the top the Images at full proportion of an Earl in his Par∣liament Robes, with the Collar, George, and Mantle of the Garter, and his Countess in her Robes of Estate, with a Garb supported by two Lions ram∣pant, placed on a Torce under the feet of the Earl, and a Griffon passant un∣der those of his Countess, all of the aforesaid white Marble, admirably po∣lished, and curiously ingraven with an Epitaph round the Verge, expressing that Thomas Cecill, Earl of Exeter, and Baron Burleigh, Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, and Privy Counsellour to King James, lies there interred, together with his first Wife (whose Image that is on the Tomb) the Lady Dorothy Nevill, Daughter and one of the Co-heirs of the Lord Latimer: As likewise his second Wife

the Lady Frances Bridges, of the no∣ble Family of the Lord Shandois, whose Effigies is not here, though there be left room on the North side of her Husband, as it should seem for that purpose.

§. 138. On the South side, by the* 1.215 foot of this Tomb, at the head ••f the entrance into the Lord Hunsdons Vault, was Charles Howard, a Child of two years old, interred anno 1670. having a little stone placed over his Grave, he was the third Son of Charles Earl of Carlile.

§. 139. Coming from this Chappel* 1.216 of St. Iohn Baptist (on each side the entrance) are two little Monu∣ments of Alabaster, black and white Marble, with some small Figures there∣on, adorned with Arms, and Epi∣taphs. That on the West for Juliana Crew, Daughter of Sir Randolph Crew Knight, Lord Chief Justice of England, ••y Juliana Clepesby his Lady, who was the Daughter and Heir to that antient Family in the County of Norfolk. She died on the twelfth of April, anno 1621.

§. 140. The other on the East for the Lady Jane Crew, one of the Daugh∣ters* 1.217 and Co-heirs of Sir John Pultney of Mistertonpultney in the County of Leicester Knight, and Wife of Sir Clyppesby Crew Knight, she died in the thirtieth year of her age, anno 1639. and had this little Monument erected by her Husband for her. Pas∣sing from these Monuments, we are led to

The Chappel of St. Erasmus,

§. 141. Where by opening a door on your right hand you are let into the undercroft, being something dark by reason of the vicinity of the houses erected in the Church-yard, almost ad∣joyning to the Windows: Yet you may see a plain Marble Table, suppor∣ted by four small Pillars of wrought Brass, and fixed to a Pedestal of the same stone, where formerly had been placed the Skeleton in his shrowd, curiously insculpt, and composed of Alabaster, with an Epitaph circum∣scribed, and several Verses thereon, which are all now taken away, ex∣cept the Table, &c. under which was

John Islip, Abbot of Westminster in∣terred.* 1.218 The fame of this Abbot, with his benefactions to this Church, I have discoursed on elsewhere, yet I forgot to tell you how he designed a stately Tower and Lanthorn, with a goodly Chime of Bells to be placed therein, over the midst of the Cross of this Church; but finding the foundation of the old Pillars too weak to support his Structure, the Bells were set up in one of the Western Towers, where they remain to this day: Moreover he cau∣sed this Chappel to be made and dedi∣cated to St. Erasmus, and adorned the Roof with curious Masons work, and neat Carvings, with several de∣vices and intaglio's, and many rebus's (a fancy much in esteem about that time) alluding to his name, as some∣times you have one slipping boughs in a tree; otherwhile, an Eye with a slip of a tree; and again, a Youth slipping from a bough of a tree, with a Label proceed∣ing out of his mouth with I slip thereon, and the like. The whole Vault being interlaced with his Coat of Arms, (viz. Erm▪ a Fess between three Weesels Gules,) and such like devices, as are the Windows in the Oratory above

full of the same. But before we take our leaves of this obscure place, (yet well deserving our pains of seeing,) we must not let pass the memory of a noble Gentleman who hath a Monu∣ment placed here for him.

§. 142. Against the East Wall where∣of* 1.219 is a comly Tomb of black and white Marble, on whose Pedestal is the Epi∣taph, and on one side the Image of a Knight in Armour, lively representing the Original, with his Lady on the other, excellently figured in cu∣rious wrought Alabaster, adorned with weeping Cupids, and mournful Hy∣mens, extinguishing their Torches, with Arms and Paintings, which was erected by the Lady Alice, Daughter of Thomas Fanshaw Esquire, the Kings Remembrancer, for Sir Christopher Hat∣ton Knight of the Bath her Husband, Son and Heir to Sir Christopher, Lord High Chancellour of England, by whom she had twelve Children. He died on the tenth day of September 1619. There is a small Table of black and white Marble against the Wall on the East side of this Chappel, nigh the Windows that let in light from the

South side of the Church, containing a further Encomium of this worthy Gentleman.

§. 143. There was likewise buried* 1.220 here without any Tomb or Grave∣stone the Lady Anne, sole Daughter and Heir of John Mowbray Duke of Norfolk, Wife to Richard Duke of York, Son to King Edward IV. but she dying without Issue, the Dukedom of Norfolk came to the Family of the Howards.

§. 144. Ascending from this under∣croft by a pair of stone Stairs into the Oratory it self, wherein nothing re∣mains but some of the rebus's in the Windows, as I have said before: It being at present made use of before. It being at present made use on as a re∣pository for those Statues of our Kings, Queens, and Princes of the Bloud Royal, which lay on their Cenotaphs when their Exequies were celebrated in this Church; being here preserved in their Robes of Estate with their Royal Ha∣biliments and other Ensigns of Maje∣sty, in Presses of Wainscote, viz. Edward III. King of England, and

Philippa his Queen, Henry V. and Queen Katherine, Henry VII. with Elizabeth his Queen, and Henry Frederick Prince of Wales in one Press, with Queen Eli∣zabeth, King James, and Queen Anne his Wife in the other. Descending again by the same Stairs, and leaving this Chappel on our right hand, we cross over the Area to a wooden frame of four or five steps, that brings us in∣to that other most noted Chappel of this Church, viz.

The Chappel of St. Edward the Confessor.

§. 145. Because his body was translated hither from the old Church of his own erection to this of King Henry III. where he had a new Tomb and Shrine (covered with Gold,) built for him in the midst of this Chap∣pel by the same King, a great part thereof to be seen at this day. It is likewise called the Chappel of the Kings, for that many of our Kings and Queens, until the time of King Henry VII. were accustomed to be bu∣ried therein: But before I shall enter into a description of any of their par∣ticular

Monuments, I shall take leave to say something concerning this reli∣gious King, and the Feretory made here for him.

§. 146. He was the Son of King* 1.221 Etheldred and Emma his Queen, who (being long deprived of his Inheri∣tance by the usurpation of Canutus, Ha∣rold, and Hardi••nute the Danes, that had murthered his Brother Edmund, and occasioned his flight into Nor∣mandy for his protection,) at leng••h was restored to his Crown and King∣dom, where he became so eminent for his sanctity, and remarkable for his holiness, that he was observed to be the first who obtained that extraordi∣nary priviledge from God in curing a disease of swelling in peoples throats, which was afterwards thereof called the Kings Evil, and hath since been derived to all his Successors. He was so compassionate and pitiful towards his Subjects sufferings and oppressions, that he remitted the annual Pension of 4000 pounds, called Danegelt, to the English Legates; So chaste, that he is said not carnally known his own Wife; and so patient, that he was

scarce ever seen to be angry. But after his death, the many infirmities and cures of all sorts of diseases, which are reported immediately to have followed at his Tomb, was the chief motive that persuaded William the Conquerour to adorn his Sepulchre with a rich Shrine, sparkling with Gold and Sil∣ver. Six and thirty years after this, his body being taken out of the ground, and being found intire and uncorrupt, with his joynts as flexible as if they had been alive, and his Garments pre∣serving their former freshness, struck such an admiration in the beholders, that every where the news thereof ••ung for a miracle, and therefore his body on the thirteenth day of October, in the year 1163, was translated by Thomas of Becket Archbishop of Canter∣bury, in the presence of King Henry II. and another costly Shrine prepared wherein to place it; and on which day he was solemnly Canonized by the Bull of Pope Alexander III.

§. 147. After this, upon the re∣building of this Church by King Hen∣ry III. his body was removed out of the old Church of his own erection into this Chappel prepared for him, on which day a magnificent and Royal Feast was kept in the Palace hard by as a commemoration of it, and a third Shrine prepared whereon to place the other two and inclose his sacred body, part whereof is remaining at this day. The upper part of this Feretory which we now behold was all covered with Plate of the purest Gold, so artificially wrought by the most cunning Gold∣smiths, and set about with pretious stones, that it amounted to an inestima∣ble value, the under part (which is still in being) was framed by the com∣mand, and at the charge of Richard de* 1.222 Ware, Abbot of Westminster, with a part of those stones, and by the same workmen, which composed the Pave∣ment before the High Altar, curiously adorning it with chequered and fine shining coloured Marble: On each side the Base of this Feretory are three small Niches divided by Serpentine Co∣lumns, supporting the Arches for the

sick and infirm to repose themselves when they came hither; and I have seen a large Chest or Coffin, bound about with strong bands of Iron, lying about the midst of the inside of this Shrine, where I suppose the body of that pious King may still be conserved. There is now an Inscription in Letters of a late hand, gilt with Gold round the midst of this Marble frame, which you will find among the Monumental* 1.223 Inscriptions, but heretofore there were other Verses ingraven on the same stone after this manner:

Anno milleno Domini, cum septuageno, Et bis centeno, cum completo quasi deno, Hoc opus est factum, quod Petrus duxit in actum, Romanus civis, homo, causam noscere si vis Rex fuit Henricus sancti praesentis amicus.

The Floor of this Chappel was likewise at the same time, and by the same Abbot, inlayed with the like stones, a great part remaining though something defaced at this day.

§. 148. Under which Pavement, on* 1.224 the North side the Feretory of St. Ed∣ward, lies Editha Queen of England his Wife, who was Daughter to Good∣win that treacherous Earl of Kent, she was a Lady of a singular piety and sweet modesty, died in the year 1074. but hath no Monument or Grave-stone erected for her.

§. 149. On the South side the same* 1.225 Shrine, under this beautious Floor, was Matilda Queen of England inter∣red; she was the Daughter of Mal∣colme King of Scots, and Wife to King Henry I. who brought unto him divers Children, viz. William, Richard, and Mary, who perished by shipwrack, and Maud the Empress, Wife to Henry V. Emperour, and Mother to King Hen. II. of England. This Queen would every day in Lent walk from her Pa∣lace to this Church barefoot and bare∣legged, and wearing a Garment of hair; she would wash and kiss the feet of the poorest people; and give them Alms; she founded the Priory of Christchurch without Aldgate, and the Hospital of St. Giles in the

Fields nigh London; she built the Bridge at Stratford over the River Lea, and repaired many of the Highways, and afterwards anno 1118. dying, was buried in this Church with∣out any Tomb or Monument.

§. 150. Under the same Pavement* 1.226 was John and Margaret, two Children of William de Valence Earl of Pem∣broke, interred, having two small stones of grey Marble placed over them without any Inscription, between the Shrine of St. Edward and the Tomb of King Henry V.

§. 151. Henry, Son to Richard King* 1.227 of the Romans, and Earl of Corn∣wall, (who was the Second Son of John King of England) returning from the Holy Land, whilst he was hearing Mass at Viterbium in Italy, was slain by Simon and Guido, Sons to Simon Mountford, Earl of Leicester, Anno 1269. his body being buried in the Monastery of Hailes, but his heart placed in the Coffin with St. Edward.

§. 152. On this Pavement is a large* 1.228 grey Marble stone, beautifully adorned and set about with fine Imagery work in curious wrought Brass, between the Shrine of St. Edward and the Tomb of Philippa his Mother, the Inscripti∣on being torn away, under which lies Thomas of Woodstock, (sixth Son to King Edward III.) who was Earl of Buckingham, and Duke of Gloce∣ster, a man of great Nobility and Re∣nown, whom Richard II. his Nephew betrayed, and afterwards caused him to be barbarously murthered at Calis, anno 1397. He married Elenore, one of the Daughters and Co-heirs of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, (who lieth buried in St. Ed∣munds* 1.229 Chappel, as I have declared be∣fore) by whom he had Issue one Son, and three Daughters, viz. Humphrey, who died without Issue; Anne, who was Wife of Edmund Earl of Stafford; Joan, who died unmarried; and Isa∣bel, who was a Nun at the Minoresses in London.

§. 153. Towards the North side of* 1.230 this Chappel at the foot of the Tomb of King Edward I. is another large grey Marble stone, fairly set forth with fine ingraved brass, whereon is the Effigies of a Bishop in the Vestments of his Office, with a Miter on his head, and a Pastoral staff in his right hand, with the Pictures of the twelve Apostles, divided, and embroidered on either side of him, and other artificial Image∣ry work about it; the Epitaph round the Ledge being worn away, but was here placed by the command of Ri∣chard II. (whose Favourite he was) to the memory of John Waltham the twen∣ty sixth Bishop of Salisbury, anno 1388. He was constituted Master of the Rolles 1382, then Keeper of the Privy Seal, and in the year 1391. Lord High Treasurer of England, in which Of∣fice he continued until his death, which hapned in the year 1395. and was buried in this place.

§. 154. Here is likewise on the West* 1.231 side the Feretory of St. Edward, hard by the Skreen that separates the High Altar from this Chappel, the Chair or

Seat whereon our Kings are accustomed to be Inaugurated and Crowned. It ap∣pears extreamly antient both in its fa∣shion and materials, being made of so∣lid, hard, firm wood, with a back and sides of the same, under whose Seat, supported by four Lions curiously car∣ved insteed of feet, lies that so much famed stone whereon the Patriarch Jacob is said to have reposed his head in the Plain of Luza, it is of a blewish steel-like colour, mix'd with some eyes of red, triangular rather than any other form, and being broken resem∣bles a Peble. The ruines of the Chair it self shews that heretofore it hath been fairly painted, and gilt with Gold, but at present it is much defaced; you have a small Table of Verses hanging* 1.232 thereon, but by reason they give us little light concerning the antient story of this stone and Chair, I shall trouble your patience with a short Narrative thereof, which is reported to have been first in Gallicia of Spain at Bri∣gantia; where Gathel King of Scots there sate on it as his Throne. Thence it was brought into Ireland by Si∣mon Brech, first King of Scots, who transplanted it into that Isle about

seven hundred years before Christ. It was brought out of Ireland by King Ferguze, abut 370 years afterwards, into Scotland; and in the year of our Lord 850 was placed at the Abby of Scone (in the Sheriffdom of Perth) by King Kenneth, where the Corona∣tion of his Ancestors usually had been celebrated, who caused this Distich to be ingraven upon it,

Ni fallat vatum, &c.

And to be inclosed in this wooden Chair; Afterwards when Edward I. King of England had overcome John Balliol King of Scots in many Battels, he returned in the year 1297 to Eng∣land, bringing with him great Spoyls, among which this Throne, with the Crown and Scepter of their Kings, were likewise taken, and offered by him here at the Shrine of St. Edward, and ever since hath been made use on as the accustomed Throne whereon our Kings do usually ••it on the days of their Inauguration. As to the Pro∣phesie insculpt on this Stone, it seems happily to be accomplished sometime since, when James VI. King of Scot∣land came to the Imperial Crown of England, whose Grandson and Heir,

King Charles II. our present Sovereign, now enjoys it.

§. 195. The North side of this* 1.233 Chappel is taken up by three noble Tombs; That towards the West is a plain Monument of grey Marble, rai∣sed about five foot from the ground, being on the right hand of the entrance, without any Inscription or adornments, more than a Table of Verses, hanging by to inform you, that Edward I. King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Lord of Ireland, and Son to King Henry III. (by Eleanor, Daughter to the Earl of Province) lies there intombed. He took to Wife Eleanor, Daughter to Ferdinand III. King of Castile and Lions, who war∣red often with the Scots, and that successively, won Barwick, &c. and in the years 1308. died, and was buried here.

§. 156. Eleanora, first Wife to this* 1.234 Edward King of England, lies under that neat Tomb Northeast of the Fe∣retory of St. Edward, whose Pedestal is composed of Freestone and grey Marble, whereon are the Arms of

England, Castile, Leon, and Pon∣tois ingraven, with a Sepulchre painted on the backside, (to be seen in the Area) with divers Monks pray∣ing thereat, all in plano; on this Tomb is her Image in curious wrought Brass, gilt with Gold, her hair dishevelled, and falling in very comly order on her shoulders, her head crowned under a ••ine Canopy supported by two Cheru∣bims of the same curious gilded Brass, half encompassed (on her left side) with a screen of Iron, wrought through in divers pleasant forms and delightful figures, an Epitaph carved on the ledge in French, and a Table hanging by in La∣tine and English Rhime, to tell us fur∣ther that she was only Daughter to Ferdinand III. King of Castile and Leon, by Joan his second Wife, Heir to Guydo Earl of Ponthieu, by which the Earldom of Ponthieu, devolved of right to the Kings of England▪ She was Mother of King Edward II. and died in the year 1298.

§. 157. Between these two lie the* 1.235 Father of this Edward King of Eng∣land, viz. Henry III. under a most sumptuous Monument, made Altar∣wise,

of three ascents, the first, con∣taining only a plain Pedestal of grey Marble, wherein there be several Am∣bries and Lockiers, made use of here∣tofore to lay up the Vestments and rich Copes belonging to the Altar of St. Ed∣ward. The other is a composure of curious work, framed of diverse co∣loured Marbles and glittering stones, re∣sembling those on the Feretory of S. Ed∣ward, chequered, and gilt with Gold, supported at each corner by four twisted or Serpentine Columns of the same speckled Marble, all brought from beyond the Seas by his Son Edward on purpose to adorn this his Fathers Se∣pulchre, on the top whereof is placed his Image in his Royal Habiliments, of solid Brass, curiously wrought and gilt with Gold, having a Lion at his feet, an half Canopy over his head, and an Epitaph in French round the ledge, all of the same gilded Brass, with a Table of Verses hanging by to let us know, that this Henry King of England, Son of King John, by Isabel, Daughter to the Earl of Angolesme, was a pious Prince, and highly to be commended for all virtues. He built the Chappel of our Lady▪ as I have said elsewhere;* 1.236

pulled down the Church of K. Edward, and erected that which is now standing, giving thereto many Royal Gifts, of Copes, Jewels, and rich Vessels, that it equalled in Riches all the Churches on this side the Alps; he made a golden* 1.237 Chest and Coffin wherein to repose the Reliques of St. Edward, adorned his Shrine, translated his body into this Chappel prepared for him, and was himself, after he had reigned fifty six years and eighteen days, buried on the North side thereof, under this stately Monument, anno 1273.

§. 158. There is another small Tomb* 1.238 of black and grey Marble, on the North side of this Chappel, at the feet of King Henry III. which hath formerly been adorned with Brass, and a little Image thereon, but at present there is nothing remaining but part of the Model (be∣ing one Pillar thereof) of the Chap∣pel of King Henry VII. to whose Daughter the Lady Elizabeth, which he had by his Queen, the Daughter of King Edward IV. this little Monument was placed, who died in the year 1493. being not much above one year old, and was buried under.

§. 159. There are likewise on the* 1.239 South side of this Chappel, or the Fe∣retory of St. Edward three stately Mo∣numents, and one little Tomb. To∣wards the East lies Philippa Queen of England, Wife to King Edward III. She hath a curious neat black Marble Tomb, with her Image thereon of po∣lished Alabaster, her head crowned, and supported by two Angels of the same; round about the Pedestal are thirty sweetly carved Niches, wherein had been placed as many Images, with their Coats of Arms at their feet, ex∣pressing who they were, in Alabaster painted and gilt with Gold, as the re∣mains of some of them at this day de∣clare, which when intire were as fol∣lows. At the head, William Earl of Henault, Father to the said Queen; John King of France; Edward III. King of England her Husband; Lo∣dowick, the Emperour; and Edward, Prince of Wales, her eldest Son. At the feet, the King of Navarre, the King of Bohemia, the King of Scot∣land, the King of Sicily, and the King of Spain. On the left side of the Tomb, Jone Queen of Scotland;

John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall; Jone, Princess of Wales; Lionel, Duke of Clarence; Isabel, Countess of Bedford; John, Duke of Lanca∣ster; Jone, Dutchess of Clarence; Edmund, Earl of Cambridge; Jone, Dutchess of Lancaster; and Thomas, Earl of Buckingham. On the right side, the Empress, Mother to the said Queen; her Brother also, Marcus, Duke of Gelderland; Eleanora, Dutchess of Gelderland; John, Earl of Henault; Mary, Dutchess of Bri∣tain, Lodowick, Duke of Bavaria; the Countess of Pembroke; Charles, Son to the King of France, and the Duke of Brabant. There is no In∣scription or Epitaph about this Tomb, but a Table of Verses in Latine, and English Metre, declaring her exempla∣ry piety and virtues, and that she was Daughter of William of Bavaria, Earl of Henault, who died in the year 1369. and was buried here.

§. 160. By her, in another sum∣ptuous* 1.240 and noble Monument, lies Ed∣ward III. her Husband, whose Image all of solid Brass, and gilt with Gold, in his Royal Robes, is placed on a

frame of the same Brass, circumscribed with an Epitaph in Latine, and fixed to a Pedestal of grey Marble, round about which are many little Images still remaining, all of solid brass, richly en∣amelled, and gilt with Gold, repre∣senting the Sons and Daughters of this mighty Prince; on the right side was Edward, Prince of Wales; Jone of the Tower given in marriage to the King of Spain; Lionel, Duke of Clarence; Edmund, Duke of York; Mary, Dutchess of Britain; and Wil∣liam of Hatfield. On the left side, Isabel, Lady of Coucy; William, of Windsor; John, Duke of Lanca∣ster; Blanch of the Tower; Mar∣garet, Countess of Pembroke; and Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Glo∣cester. This Edward, the third of that name, King of England since the Conquest, was Son to Edward II. by Isabel, Daughter to Philip le Bell King of France, whose Brother dying with∣out Issue, and she being the next Heir, this King Edward first laid claim to the Crown of France in right of his Mother, (notwithstanding their▪ Sa∣lique Law, by which the Females are barred from the Inheritance,) and

prosecuted the War so successfully that he won Calais, recovered Aquitaine and Normandy; took John, King of France; and David King of Scots Prisoners, and adding the Arms and Title of France to his own, after he had reigned fifty years he died, and was buried here under this noble Monument, having a Table of Verses* 1.241 affixed thereunto in English and Latine meeter.

§. 161. At the head of King Ed∣ward* 1.242 III. is the other stately Monu∣ment on this South side the Feretory of St. Edward, composed much after the like form with that foregoing, having two Images placed on a frame, and circumscribed with an Epitaph, all of solid brass, gilt with Gold, on a Pedestal of grey Marble, meanly adorned, whereunto is a Table affixed, informing us, that Richard II. King of England and France, and Lord of Ireland, with his first Wife Anne, who was Daughter to Wenceslaus King of Bohemia, and Emperour of the Germans, who died anno 1394. lie there interred. This Richard was Son to Edward, Prince of Wales, by Jone,

Daughter to the Earl of Kent. After he had reigned twenty two years, he was deposed by Henry of Lancaster, and not long after (anno 1399.) was mur∣thered, and buried at Langley among the Dominicans; but in the year 1414. his body was removed from thence by Henry V. King of England and no∣bly intombed here at Westminster, who caused to be erected this Monu∣ment over him.

§. 162. Between this Tomb of King* 1.243 Richard and that of Edward III. is a little small raised Monument of grey Marble, whereon hath been the Effi∣gies of a Child engraven on Brass, now taken away, but so much of the Epi∣taph remaining, whereby may be ga∣thered, that under that small Tomb lies Margaret, Daughter and fifth Child to Edward IV. King of Eng∣land and France, and Lord of Ire∣land by the Lady Elizabeth his Wife, who was born the nineteenth day of April, Anno Dom. 1472. and died the eleventh of December following.

§. 163. On this Tomb stands an old* 1.244 rusty Sword, seven foot in length, and eighteen pounds in weight, with a Buckler or deep Shield, which are reported to be made use on by Ed∣ward III. in his Wars in France, and are placed on this Tomb adjoyn∣ing to his Monument as a remembrance thereof.

§. 164. The East side of this Chap∣pel* 1.245 of St. Edward is taken up by that magnificent Monument of Henry V. King of England, enclosed within a small Chappel by it self, arched, of cu∣rious worked stone, and set about with admirable carvings, Intaglio's, and de∣vices, as trees of Palm, Harts Royal, and Swans gorged, with Crowns, and chained thereunto. On the South side whereof is graved the Cavalcade and Ce∣remony of his own Coronation, and on the North that of his Queens, with the Archbishops, Bishops, and Nobility of the Realm assisting. On each side the curious Iron doors, composed of grate work, beholding the Shrine of St. Ed∣ward, are two large Statues of Mitered Abbots, with several other lesser Images

of holy men and devout women among the Primitive Christians in the adjoyn∣ing Niches: In the Chappel it self is a raised Tomb of grey Marble, whereon is nothing remaining but part of a wooden Image without the head, which being made (as it is said) of Silver, was sacrilegiously stolen from thence by the impious hands of some pretenders to Reformation, who have likewise deprived and stripped it of the fine embroydered and gilded Plates of brass, wherewith it was all over cove∣red, leaving us nothing now to behold but the frame to which they were affixed On the South side of this Tomb is a Wooden Chest or Coffin, wherein part of the Skelleton and per∣ched body of Katharine Valois his* 1.246 Qu. (from the waste upwards) is to be seen; of whom many fabulous stories are reported for her lying here: But the truth is, that when Henry VII. cau∣sed the old Chappel of our Lady (at the entrance whereof this Queen was in∣terred) to be pulled down, the Work∣men finding her Coffin among others to be well nigh perished and decayed, what remained of her body was ta∣ken thence, and placed in this Capsula

nigh her Husband, where it hath con∣tinued ever since: Which is not fre∣quently shewn to any, but as an espe∣cial favour by some of the chief Officers of the Church. Over this Tomb is the Oratory or Chantry Chappel▪ where the Obiits of this King and Queen used to be celebrated, and their Anniver∣sary's kept, there being two doors on each side the entrance, with stairs to ascend into the same, where the Saddle which this heroick Prince used in the Wars in France, with his Shield and other warlike furniture is to be seen. On the backside of this noble Monu∣ment towards the Area hath been seve∣ral paintings and other adornments, which are now washed away and de∣faced; but there is still remaining an antient Table in Latine and English meeter hanging thereon. This Henry* 1.247 was the Son of Henry IV. King of England, and France, and Lord of Ireland, who vanquished the French in many Battels, was by his Father made Regent of France, and after his death crowned King at Paris, who having married Katharine Valois, Daughter of Charles VI. King of France, leaving Issue by her Henry VI.

King of England, &c. he died anno 1422. and was buried here. His Queen Katharine afterwards married Owen Teudor, descended from Cadwallader, the last King of the Britains, by whom she had Edmund Earl of Richmond, Father to King Henry VII. Jasper Duke of Bedford, and Edward a Monke of Westminster. She died anno 1437.

§. 165. The West side of this Chap∣pel* 1.248 of the Kings is wholly taken up by the Skreen that separates the high Al∣tar from this place, on the upper part whereof there is some indifferent Car∣ving in Freestone, wherein much of the Life of St. Edward and the antient History of this Church is represented. There are two doors, one on each side the same Skreen, that serve more particularly on the days of the Coronation of our Kings and Queens for the conveniency of their retiring out of the body of the Church to refresh and recreate them∣selves here, where likewise they are divested of the Crown and Robes of St. Edward, by the Lord High Cham∣berlain of England, after the So∣lemnity ended at the Altar, and again

arrayed in those rich and Royal Robes provided for them to wear that day, for which end there is a Traverse ere∣cted here on those days of Solemnity covered with Tapistry, and hung round with Arras for the greater splendour and Magnificence.

§. 166. Coming back again (down* 1.249 the same Stairs by which we ascended into this Chappel) into the Area, on the North side we may take notice of these few Monuments and Grave-stones; against the the back of the Tomb of Aveline Countess of Lancaster, is a small neat Monument of white Marble and Alabaster, adorned with Arms, and an Epitaph, nigh which there is a large Grave-stone of black Marble on the Pavement, both placed as a remem∣brance to that eminent and Loyal Pre∣late Brian Duppa, Tutor to his present* 1.250 Majesty, who was Dean of Christ∣church, Bishop of Chichester and Sa∣lisbury, and upon the Restauration of the King to his Kingdoms after his Ex∣ile, was made Bishop of Winchester, and Prelate of the Garter, who dy∣ing anno 1662. in the seventy fourth year of his age was interred here.

The Monument against the South Wall, being but lately erected for him.

§. 167. In this Area lies John Doughty,* 1.251 S. T. D. and a Prebendary of this Church, under a black Marble stone hard by the former, he died anno 1672, aged seventy five years. John Windsor, Ne∣phew* 1.252 to Sir William, lies under a stone covered with plates of brass obiit 1414. By whom lies William Amundisham, a* 1.253 Monk of Westminster, under another plated stone, he died anno 1420. A lit∣tle higher is another fair Marble stone, covered with brass plates, and their Effigies graven thereon, for two more Monks of the same Abby, viz. Thomas* 1.254 Brown, and Humphrey Roberts, dying anno 1508. A fourth plated stone is here to be seen, with Verses thereon, for one William Couper belonging to* 1.255 the Archbishop of York. Something lower is another Grave-stone for George Wild Esquire, who died anno* 1.256 1649.

§. 168. In the South Area, hard by* 1.257 the Chappel of St. Nicolas, to∣wards the ascent of King Henry the Se∣venths, is a comely Monument of Ala∣baster and white Marble, with an Urn placed on the top, for to remember Sir Thomas Ingram Knight, Chancel∣lour of the Dutchy of Lancaster, and one of his Majesties most honourable Privy Council; he died anno 1671. There is a small Monument of Alaba∣ster and black Marble, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, with the Busto or head of Richard Tufton Es∣quire,* 1.258 between the Chappel of St. Ed∣mund and St. Nicolas, who died anno 1631, and had this Monument erected here by his Brother Sir Hum∣phrey Tufton for him. Against the North Wall, on this side the Area, adjoyning to the Tomb of Henry V. is another small Monument of Alabaster, adorned with Arms, and plates of brass, several little Images carved thereon, with his head in the midst of the same brass gilt, for Robert Aiton Esquire, famous for* 1.259 his Writings, Embassies, & exemplary Charity, who died at Whitehall, anno 1638.

§. 169. On the Pavement are these* 1.260 Grave-stones, towards the West, James Cranfield Earl of Middlesex, who died anno 1652. And Lionel Cranfield, Earl of Middlesex, one of the Bed∣chamber to his present Majesty, and second Son to Lionel, who was Lord High Treasurer of England, he died anno 1674. By whom likewise lies his* 1.261 Mother the Lady Anne, who died anno 1669. and Edward Cranfield, who died anno 1649. Not far from these is a grey Marble stone, with a plate of brass thereon for Thomas Bilson Bishop of Winchester, and Privy Counsel∣lour to King James, obiit anno 1616. There is a large grey Marble stone, with a little part of an Inscription, and a Coat of Arms still remaining in the brass, whereby so much light may be gathered that it was placed there for Sir John Golofre Knight, who was se∣cond* 1.262 Husband to Philippa Lady Mo∣hun, afterwards Dutchess of York, he died anno 1396. By him is another plated stone for Cecill Ratcliff, chief* 1.263 Gentlewoman to the Lady Dudley. For the rest of the stones I can be at no certainty to whom they belong, and

therefore I shall leave them without troubling you with my conjectures, on∣ly giving you the names of some who are* 1.264 said to be here deposited. Rich. de Bar∣king Abbot of Westm. chief Baron of the Exchequer, and Lord Treasurer of England, who died an••o 1246, he was buried in our Ladies Chappel, and had a Tomb of Marble set up for him before the Altar there, which in the time of William de Colchester, Abbot likewise of this Monastery, was taken down by Frier Combe, a Sacrist of this Abby, who laid a fair plain Marble stone over him, with an Epitaph inscribed in brass, which stone (among many others) was removed at the time when King Henry VII. built the new Chappel, and was placed at the foot of the steps ascending towards the same, on the East side of this Area. Henry, eldest* 1.265 Son of King Henry VIII. by Queen Katharine of Spain, died an Infant, and was buried at the entrance into the Chappel of St. Edward. Ralph Selby▪ Doctor of Laws, who died anno 1420, was buried under a plated stone of grey Marble on the South part of this Area. Anne Buxal, Daughter of* 1.266 Sir Alain Buxal Knight, and Wife to

Sir John de Beverley, she died on the* 1.267 second day of October, anno 14••6, and was buried under a plated Marble stone, not far from Ralph Selby. By her likewise lies her Husband Sir John Beverley Knight, under a like stone.

§. 170. In the Chappel of St. Ed∣mund were buried Margaret, D••ugh∣ter* 1.268 of Henry Clifford Earl of Cum∣berland, Wife of Henry Earl of Der∣by, who died anno 1596. and George* 1.269 Brideman▪ Custos of the Queens Pa∣lace at Westminster, he died anno 1580. By whom is likewise interred his Wife, who died anno 1590. Before the high Altar was buried one John* 1.270 Leeke, said to be an Archbishop, but I can find no such man in my Cata∣logues of the Archbishops of Canter∣bury and York, and therefore I can say no more of him. And now lea∣ving this part of the Church, by the Monument of Brian Duppa, Bishop of Winchester, we are let into the North Cross again, where on the right hand, and against the East side are three small Chappels: The first is

The Chappel of St. Iohn Evangelist,

§. 171. The Skreen whereof was* 1.271 made and adorned with several Car∣vings and Coats of Arms, by John Est∣ney, Abbot of this Monastery, painted, and gilt with Gold, who lies on the South side under a grey Marble Tomb, with his Effigies thereon curiously en∣graven on brass in the Vestments of his Office, with a Miter on his head, and a Pastoral Staff in his right hand, ha∣ving an Epitaph round the Verge, some part only remaining at this time sufficient to inform us that he died on the twenty fourth day of May, anno 1438.

§. 172. Next to this is another grey* 1.272 Marble Tomb adjoyning to the head of Abbot Estney, whereon is the Effigies of a Knight in Armour, curiously engra∣ven on brass, and reposing his head on his Helm, with several Coats of Arms about the Tomb wrought in the same brass, but the Epitaph round the ledge is torn away, under which lies Sir John Harpedon Knight, who died anno 1457.

§. 173. On the South side of this* 1.273 Monument is another grey Marble Tomb, covered with a large stone, be∣ing nine foot long, and four foot broad, where round the Ledge is still remaining in brass an Epitaph, but the Verses and Coat of Arms (wherewith the top of this Marble stone was fur∣ther adorned) are wholly perished, under which lies Sir Thomas Parry Knight, Treasurer of the Houshold, and Master of the Court of Wards and Liveries to Queen Elizabeth, who died on the fifteenth day of December, anno 1560.

§. 174. In the midst of the floor of* 1.274 this Chappel is a most stately and Soul∣dier-like Monument, every way suta∣ble to the person for whom it was made, viz. for Sir Francis Vere Knight, descended from the illustrious Family of the Veres Earls of Oxford. He was Captain General of the English Forces in the united Netherlands in the time of Queen Elizabeth; and Governour of the Briel and Portsmouth, whose learned Commentaries, set forth by himself in the English Tongue, shews

him no less a Master in the Art of War than learned in other Sciences; he died anno 1698, and had this noble Tomb erected for him by the Lady Eliza∣beth his Wife, where on a Pedestal of well polished black Marble, and an Epitaph in gilded letters round the Verge, lies his Image wrapped in a Night-gown, and reposing himself on a quilt, all of figured Alabaster, over which is a Table of Lydian or Touch, shadowing this Image in the nature of a Canopy, supported at the four Corners by as many Martial Knights in Armour, inclining their right knees towards the ground, and resting the Tomb on their shoulders, whereon is placed his Helm, Corsset, Curiass, Vi∣brace, Gauntlet, Spurs, and Shield, which together, with the Statues themselves at full proportion are all composed of admirable white Mar∣ble: That for curiosity and neat∣ness this Tomb seems little inferiour to any of the more magnificent Monuments I have described else∣where.

§. 175. Against the East Wall of this* 1.275 Chappel, at the feet of his fellow Souldier and Kinsman Sir Francis Vere, is another 〈…〉〈…〉nument erected by John Earl of Clare, to the remem∣brance of his Bro••••er Sir George Holles Knight, a great Souldier, and Serjeant Major General over the English Forces in the Low-Countries, who dying at London, anno 1626. was buried here. On a Pedestal (whereon is the Epi∣taph, with a Town beleaguered, well designed in basso relievo, and two weep∣ing Pallas's in dejected postures lying on each side thereof, with Owls, the Emblems of Sagacity and Vigilance, standing by them,) is a commanding Statue of curious white polished Mar∣ble, boldly insculpt, and altogether furnitured like a Roman Hero, one of his eyes (supposed to be lost) covered with Sables, a Mantle falling from his shoulders, a Shield on his left Arm, whereon are depicted the Matches of his Family, and a Com∣manders Battoon in his right hand, seeming, like old Nestor, to be directing his Battallions even after his death.

§. 176. In this Chappel, without any Monuments, Tombs, or Grave-stones,* 1.276 lie Thomas the first Lord Wentworth. Richard Knevet Esquire, one of the Gentlemen Pensioners to Queen Eliza∣beth, who died on the first day of No∣vember,* 1.277 anno 1559. Sir Edward Rogers Knight, Controller of the Houshold to Queen Elizabeth, who died anno 1568.* 1.278 William Rogers his Grandson, anno 1593. Sir James Crofts Knight, Controller of* 1.279 the Houshold likewise to Queen Eli∣zabeth, who died anno 1590. Eliza∣beth,* 1.280 the Daughter of Sir John For∣tescue Knight, who died on the twenty first of May 1597. And Sir Edward* 1.281 Spragge Knight, who lost his life at Sea against the Hollander anno 1673. Next to this is

The Chappel of St. Michael,

§. 177. Where there is only (on the* 1.282 East side) one Monument of Alaba∣ster, Marble, and divers coloured stones, with the Image of a Lady in her Robes of Estate, lying at full length, with two Children kneeling on the Pe∣destal, all of the same Alabaster,

adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, for the Lady Katharine St. John's, the Daughter of Sir William Dormer Knight, and Widow of John Lord St. John's of Bletso, by whom she had Oliver, who died an Infant, and Anne, married to William Lord Ho∣ward of Effingham, eldest Son to Charles Earl of Nottingham, Lord High Admiral of England. This Lady caused this Monument to be made in her life time, not long surviving after, who died on the twenty third day of March, anno. 1614.

§. 178. There were likewise buried* 1.283 in this Chappel, without any Monu∣ments, Sir Hugh Vaughan Knight, with Anne his Wife who was the Daughter of Henry Earl of Northumberland, and Widow of Thomas Hungerford. Sir Thomas Wharton Knight, afterwards* 1.284 Lord Wharton, who married the Daugh∣ter of Robert Earl of Sussex, and was buried here Anno 1572. Elizabeth, the* 1.285 Wife of Sir John Boorn Knight, Secre∣tary to Queen Mary, she died on the twenty second day of June anno 1576. And Sir William Trussel Knight, who* 1.286 was Speaker to the House of Com∣mons

at the deposition of King Ed∣ward II.

§. 179. This Chappel, with part of the Chappels of St. Iohn Evange∣list and St. Andrew, are now taken up, and the Monuments almost cove∣red by the Scaffolds placed here, be∣ing made use of at present for the lower Convocation House for the Deans, Prebends, and Doctors, &c. as that of King Henry VII. is for the Arch∣bishops and Bishops when the Parliament sits at Westminster, which I should before have informed you, as likewise that in the same Chappel Divine Ser∣vice is celebrated the••e every Morning at six of the Clock for the conveniency of the Scholars and the devout peo∣ple thereby inhabiting.

The Chappel of St. Andrew.

§. 180. Which is the last, yet not* 1.287 the least for beauty and comliness, the Skreen thereof being richly adorn∣ed with curious carvings and ingra∣vings, and other Imagery work of Birds, Flowers, Cherubims, Devices, Mot∣toes, and Coats of Arms of many of

the chief Nobility painted thereon, as Dukes of York, Bedford, Cambridge, &c. The Earls of Lancaster, Exeter, Derby, &c. The Lords Bea••champ, Bardolph, Mohun, Hu••gerford, Stafford, Ormond Nevil, Grey, Per••y. Molineux, Fitz-John, all done by the command, and at the charge and cost o•• Edmund* 1.288 Kirton, Abbot of Westminster (about the time of King Edward IV.) who lies buried on the South side of the Chappel, under a plam grey Marble Tomb, with an Epitaph in brass round the Verge, who died anno 1466.

§. 181. Against the East Wall is a* 1.289 slight Monument of Alabaster and black Marble, adorned, and gilt with Gold for Sir John Bourgh Knight, Son of William Lord Bourgh (descended from the noble Hubert de Bourgh, Lord Chief Justice of England and Earl of Kent, in the time of King Hen∣ry III.) and the Lady Katharine, Daughter of Edward Clinton Earl of Lincoln, Lord High Admiral of Eng∣land. This Sir John was eminent ••or his martial prowess having been twice Knighted in the Field, first by the

Earl of Leicester, Captain General, and Governour of the United Nether∣lands; afterwards at the Battel of St. Andrews by Henry IV. King of France and Navarre, but boarding a Spanish Caract, laden with Gold, Spice, and Pretious stones, he was most un∣fortunately slain on the seventh day of March, anno 1594. in the thirty second year of his age, and had this little Me∣morial placed here for him.

§. 172. Here was likewise buried* 1.290 Thomas Lord Boroughs, Knight of the honourable Order of the Garter, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who died prosecuting the War against the Earl of Tyroen, then in rebellion,* 1.291 anno 1597. And Henry Noel, one of the Gentlemen Pentioners to Queen Elizabeth, who died on the twenty sixth of February, anno 1596. both without any Monuments or Gravestones.

§. 183. In the midst of this Chap∣pel* 1.292 is a most magnificent and noble Mo∣nument, erected for Sir Francis Nor∣ris Knight, afterwards Baron Norris of Rycote, memorable for his warlike actions in the Spanish Netherlands.

On the Pedestal, raised on three ascents, composed of black Marble, and Ala∣baster, is his Effigies, curiously carved, and ingraved all in Armour of white Marble, richly gilt and adorned with Gold, on each side of whom are the Images of three young men kneeling, in Armour, framed of the same Alaba∣ster, and gilt with Gold, over-sha∣dowed by a glorious Arched Cano∣py, supported by eight Corinthian Pillars, of divers coloured stones, set forth with Arms, and other adornments, but there is no Inscri∣ption or Epitaph belonging there∣unto.

§. 184. Many more persons of note have been interred in this Church, whose Monuments are decayed and gone, or the Inscriptions worn or torn off from their Grave-stones, as Rachel* 1.293 Brigham, Daughter of Nicolas Brig∣ham, who had a marble stone laid over her, hard by Chaucers Tomb, anno 1557. William Benson, Abbot of Westmin∣ster,* 1.294 and first Dean of this Church, (after King Henry VIII. had disowned the Supremacy of Rome,) was bu∣ried as you go into the Revestry.

William Bedell, who was Treasurer to* 1.295 Cardinal Woolsey (Archbishop of York, and Lord Chancellour of England,) with Cicely his Wife; and Sir Francis* 1.296 Allen Knight, a famous Souldier in the Low-Country Wars, all these lying in the South Cross. In the North Cross lies John Redman, S. T. D. who was* 1.297 Master of Trinity College in Cambridge, and a Prebend of this Church, he died anno 1551. Bartholomew Dodington,* 1.298 a learned man, and Greek Professor in the University of Cambridge, who died on the twenty second of August, anno 1595. George Burden, Receptor* 1.299 of this Collegiate Church. John Gryffith, descended of an antient Fami∣ly in Wales, he died anno 1597. And Thomas Brown, first chief Master of the* 1.300 School, then a Prebend, and afterwards Sub-dean of this Church, who died anno 1585. May 2.

§ 185. There were likewise buried here other memorable persons, for whom I cannot ascertain any particu∣lar place, ziz. Harold, base Son of King* 1.301 C••ute, after the death of his Father, was elected King of England by the Danes, who caused Queen Emma, his

Fathers Wife, after he had spoyled her of her riches, to be banished, deprived Prince Aelfred (the Son of King Aethel∣red, and Brother to King Edward the Confessor) of his eyes, and after he had reigned four years, died at Ox∣ford, anno 1040. and was buried here, saith Matthew of Westminster. John* 1.302 Lord Wells, Knight of the Garter, who married Cecily, the Daughter of King Edward IV. and died without Issue, was also here interred. Sir Fulk de Novo-Castro* 1.303 or New-castle, a famous Knight, whose body for its Nobility, and re∣lation to the Bloud Royal of England, was commanded by King Henry III. in his own presence, to be buried here, anno 1247. Richard de Wendover* 1.304 Bishop of Rochester, having the re∣putation of an holy man was inter∣red here by the Kings Order, anno 1250.

§. 186. Here was likewise buried Hugolin, who was both Chamberlain* 1.305 and Treasurer to King Edward the Con∣fessor: Edwin, Abbot of this Monastery* 1.306 in the time of the same King: Sir Geof∣frey Mandevile Knight Seni••ur, and Athelarda his Wife; and Geoffrey Man

devile Junior: Sir James Berners Knight:* 1.307 Oliver de Durdens, a Baron of this Realm, and Brother to King Henry III.

§. 187. According to my promise I have now given you what informa∣tion you could reasonably expect in a subject of this nature, without impo∣sing any thing upon you for truth that hath not the stamp and evidence of an∣tiquity to confirm it, I shall there∣fore trouble you a little longer by lead∣ing you out of the Church into the adjoyning Cloysters, which you are* 1.309 let into by two Doors on the South side thereof, by that towards the West was the Picture of our Saviour Christ nailed to the Cross, the B. Virgin stand∣ing on one side, and S. John on the other, curiously painted, and very pitiful to behold, and round about the sides of these Cloysters were other noble Pain∣tings, with variety of Verses, alluding* 1.310 to the History of the foundation, and the Figures thereon; on every side opposite to the Walls (where now are only frames of wood) was fine glazed* 1.311 Windows of tinctured glass of divers colours; and over the entrance into* 1.312 the Chapter-house (on the East-side of this Cloyster, which is now the way likewise into the Library) was placed* 1.313 the Statue of the blessed Virgin with

our Saviour in her arms, and two An∣gels on each side, all richly enamelled, and set forth with Gold and blue, some Vestigia or footsteps of all which are still remaining whereby to judge of the former splendour and beauty thereof.

§. 188. For those Monuments of* 1.314 the dead, which are to be found about these Cloysters, I shall not observe the like order and method as I did in the recital of the foregoing Monuments in the Church and Chappels, esteeming most of them of that inferiour nature, that reading their Epitaphs and In∣scriptions you will receive light enough concerning them. To which I shall refer you, and you will find towards the latter end of this Book among the Monumental Inscriptions: But there are four Grave-stones on the South side of this great Cloyster that deserve our particular inspection, and for that they have no manner of Epitaph or Inscripti∣on now remaining, I shall not only in∣form you to whom they belong, but give you the antient Verses formerly insculpt about them.

§. 189. The first is a plain white* 1.315 Marble stone, heretofore covered with Plates of brass, under which lies Vita∣lis Abbot of Westminster in the time of William the Conquerour, who died anno 1082. and had this Epitaph in∣graved thereon.

Qui nomen traxit è vita, morte vocante, Abbas Vitalis transiit, hicque jacet.

§. 190. At the feet of Abbot Vitalis* 1.316 is a grey Marble stone, the Effigies of an Abbot carved deep thereon, a Pa∣storal Staff in his right hand, but no Miter on his head, under which Gisle∣bertus Crispinus, Abbot of Westmin∣ster, who died anno 1114. in the time of King Henry I. was interred, with these Verses formerly inlaid round the ledge in brass:

Hic Pater insignis, genus altum, virgo, senexque, Gisleberte jaces, lux, via, duxque tuis. Mitis eras, justus, prudens, fortis, moderatus, Doctus quadrivio, nec minùs in trivio. Sic tamen ornatus nece sexta luce Decembris Spiramen Coelo reddis & ossa solo.

§. 191. There is another stone of* 1.317 white Marble, at the feet of Gislebertus, whereon is carved the Image of an Abbot, with a Miter, Ring, and Pasto∣ral staff in his right hand, of the same Marble, under which lies Laurentius, another Abbot of this Monastery, who first obtained from Pope Alexander III. to him and his Successors Abbots, the priviledge to use the Miter, Ring, and Gloves, he died anno 1176. and had these Verses ingraven round his Tomb.

Clauditur hoc tumulo vir quondam clarus in orbe, Quo praeclarus erat hic locus est, & erit, Pro meritis vitae dedit illi laurea nomen: Detur & vitae laurea pro meritis.

§. 192. That large and stately plain* 1.318 black Marble stone (which is vulgarly known by the name of Long Megg of Westminster) on the North side of Laurentius the Abbot, was placed there for Gervasius de Blois, another Abbot of this Monastery, who was base Son to King Stephen, and by him placed as a Monk here, and afterwards made Ab∣bot, who died anno 1160, and was

buried under this stone, having this Di∣stich formerly thereon.

De regum genere pater hic Gervasius ecce Monstrat defunctus, mors rapit omne genus.

A Princess descended of noble Li∣nage, being Daughter to the worthy Knight Sir Edward Stanhoppe by Eli∣zabeth his Wife, that was Daughter to Sir Foulk Bourchier Lord Fitz-wa∣rin, from whom our modern Earls of Bath are sprung, Son was he to William Lord Fitz-warin, that was Brother to Henry Earl of Essex, and

Many Children bare this Lady unto her Lord of either sort, to wit, Ed∣ward Earl of Hertford, Henry, and a younger Edward, Anne Countess of Warwick, Margaret, Jane, Mary, Katharine, and Elizabeth, and with firm faith in Christ, and in most mild manner rendred she this life at 90 years of age, on Easter day the sixteenth of April, anno 1587.

The Earl of Hertford Edward her eldest Son, in this doleful duty careful and diligent, doth consecrate this Mo∣nument to his dear Parent, not for her honour, wherewith living she did abound, and now departed flou∣risheth, but for the dutiful love he beareth her, and for his last testification thereof.

Septimus Henricus tumulo requiescit in isto* 1.407 Qui Regum splendor, lumen & orbis erat;

Rex vigil & sapiens, comes, virtutis amator, Egregius forma, strenuus atque potens. Qui peperit pacem regno, qui bella peregit Plurima, qui victor semper ab hoste redit: Qui natas binis conjunxit Regibus ambas Regibus & cunctis foedere junctus erat. Qui sacrum hoc struxit templum statuitque sepulchrum Pro se, proque sua conjuge, proque domo. Lustra decem atque annos tres plus compleverit annis: Nam tribus octenis regia sceptra tulit. Quindecies domini centenus fluxerat annus Currebat nonus, cum venit atra dies, Septima ter mensis lux tunc fulgebat Aprilis Cum clausit summum tanta corona diem. Nulla dedere prius tantum tibi saecula Regem Anglia, vix similem posteriora dabunt.

Septimus hic situs est Henricus Gloria Regum* 1.408 Cunctorum, ipsius qui tempestate fuerunt, Ingenio at{que} opibus gestarum & nomine rerum, Accessere quibus naturae dona benignae: Frontis honos, facies augusta, Heroica forma: Junctaque ei suavis conjux perpulchra, pudica, Et foecunda fuit, foelices prole parentes, Henricum quibus octavum terra Anglia debes.

Hic jacet Henricus ejus Nominis sep∣timus,* 1.409 Angliae quondam Rex Edmun∣di Richmondiae comitis filius, qui die 22. Augusti Rex creatus statim post apud Westmonasterium die 30.

EULOGIUM* 1.411 Per Skeltonida laureatum Oratorem Regium.

Huc pia Calliope propera mea casta puella Et mecum resona carmina plena Deo: Septimus Henricus Britonum memorabilis heros, Anglica terra tuus magnanimus Priamus. Attalus hic opibus, rigidus Cato, clarus Acestes Sub gelido clausus marmore jam recubat. Sic honor omnis, opes, probitas, sic gloria Regum, Omnia mutabunt mortis ad imperium.

Anglia num lacrymas? rides, lacrymare quid obstas? Dum vixit lacrymas: dum moritur, jubilas. Tanta tamen penses, dum vixerat Angligenenses Vibrabant enses: bella nec ulla timent, Ʋndique bella fremunt nunc, undique praelia surgunt. Noster honor solus filius ecce suus. Noster honor solus, qui pondera tanta subire Non timet: intrepidus arma gerenda vocat. Arma gerenda vocat, superi sua coepta secundent Ʋt quatiat Pallas aegida saepe rogat: S••rs tamen est versanda diù, sors ultima belli Mirmidonum Dominus Marte silente ruit. Et quem non valuit, validis superare sub armis Mars: tamen occubuit insidiis Paridis: Nos incerta quidem pro certis ponere rebus Arguit, & prohibet Delius ipse pater. Omnia sunt hominum dubio labentia fato, Marte sub incerto militat omnis homo: Omne decus nostrum, nostra & spes unica tantùm, Jam bene qui regnat, hunc Jovis umbra tegat. Ʋt quamvis mentem labor est inhibere volentem, Pauca tamen liceat dicere pace sua; Pace tua liceat mihi, nunc tibi dicere pauca Dulce meum decus, & sola Britanna salus. Summa rei nostrae remanet, celeberrime Princeps, In te praecipuo qui modò sceptra geris. Si tibi fata favent, faveant precor atque precabor, Anglia tunc plaude, sin minùs, ipsa vale.

Polichronitudo Basileos.

Flos Britonum, Regum speculum, Salomonis imag••, Septimus Henricus mole sub hac tegitur, Punica (dum regnat) redolens rosa digna vocari, Jamjam mar••e••c•••• ce••levis umbra fugit. Multa nover••an••••s ••ortunae, multa faventis, Passus: & in••ractus tempus utrunque tulit.

Nobilis Anchises, armis metuendus Atrides, Hic erat: hunc Scotus Rex timuit Jacobus. Spiramenta animae vegetans dum vescitur aura, Francorum populus conticuit pavidus. Immensas sive divitias cumulasse quid horres? Ni cumulasset opes forte Britanne luas. Ʋrgentes casus tacita si mente volutes: Vix tibi sufficeret aurea ripa Tagi Ni sua te probitas consulta mente laborans Rexisset satiùs, vix tibi tuta salus. Sed quid plura cano: meditans quid plura voluto, Quisque vigil sibi sit, mors sine lege rapit: Ad Dominum qui cuncta regit pro principe tanto, Funde preces quisquis carmina nostra legis.

Rifrigerii sedem, quietis Beatudinem, Luminis habeat claritatem.

O noble and victorious man. Trust not unto thy strength,

For all are subject unto death, And all must hence at length. Most cruel fate from worldly stage Hath rest a worthy Wight; For whom all England mourned loud To see his doleful plight: Edward is dead, which was adorn'd With divers graces here, A King or fragrant Nardus hight, A gratious Princely Peere. In heart, the which was Lybard like, Right puissant, void of fear: Most ••ow to strife, discreet, and wise, And gracious every where. In Arms a Gyant fierce and fell, Attempting famous Facts, Most prudent did subdue the proud By feat of martial Acts: In ••••nders Fortune gave to him By lot right good success; In Wales he wan: the Scottish rout With Arms he did suppress. This King without his like alive Did firmly guide his Land: And what good nature could conceive, He had it plight at hand. He was in justice, and in peace, Excelling: Laws took place, Desire to chase all wicked works Did hold this Kings good grace.

He now doth lie intombed here, Which f••rthered each good thing, Now nought he is but dust and bones, Which was a worthy King. The very Son of God, whom erst This King did love right deere Hath given to him immortal blisses For his good living here.

So though I had Tully his eloquence, Or of Seneca the grave morality, Or of Solomon the perfect sapience, Or the sweet Ditties of Dame Calliope; Yet might I not in Prose, or other ditty, Accordingly advance this Princes fame, Or with due honour to enhance the same.

Considering his Acts, whereof parcel appear In this rude work, with many more left out, The time also was less than ten year▪ That he so shortly brought all things about, By divine grace furthered out of doubt, That mightful Lord he holy his ghostly knight With grace & honour to pass this worlds ••ight:

Sicut de lignis per aquam depellitur ignis Sic mala commissa fiunt donando remissa, Reddet ad usuram quod quis dat nomine Christi, Nam vitam puram pro parvo dat Deus isti.
