traces of it are now visible. The following extract from BURTON'S Monasticon
Eboracense, p. 366, relates to this monument:"Lady Ross of Orryby, by will, proved 29th August, 1394 (18 Richard II.) ordered her
corpse to be laid by her husband, Sir John, in the monastery of Reival in Yorkshire; and
ordered 1001. for a marble tomb, like that of Dame Margery de Orryby, her mother, in
Boston church."
None of the monuments mentioned by Mr. HOLLES can now be identified,
although the floors of the nave and aisles are filled with slabs on which were
formerly figures and inscriptions. We have alluded to the few brasses or
portions of them which at present remain.
The inscriptions on the principal monuments now existing are as follow: -
-In VNave, on the Floor near the Font.
Ar. on a chevron gu. 3 escallops. CREST. A stork with an escallop in its bill.
