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 female Child beneath them all under a sumptuous arched Canopy of curious 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 towards the South is a comely Monument of Alabaster and various coloured 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 of Sir Richard Pecksal Knight in Armour 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 Daughter of William Pawlet Marquess of Winchester Lord High Treasurer of England by whom he had four Daughters whose Statues help to beautifie 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 remarried to Sir John Savage of Cheshire Knight and caused this Monument to be erected to his memory § 51. Next to this within the Wall 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 embattelled Pedestal of grey Marble having 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 supported 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 Cherubims 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 Chamberlain to Anne Queen of England who was Wife to King Richard II. § 52. Against the same Wall but more towards the East is a noble Monument of Alabaster black and various 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 another 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 Latine 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 have bled to death by a prick she received 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 Column wise is set the Statue of this young Lady reposing her self in a curious wrought Osier Chair all of polished Alabaster melancholily inclining her cheek to her right hand and with the fore-finger of her left only extended 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 conjecture that having touched an Artery 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 unlikely and absurd § 54. Next to this Columnial Monument is another of the same form but somewhat larger composed of Alabaster and white Marble with the Statue of a noble Youth thereon furnitured and equipped like a Roman Hero 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 Monuments are two little Tombs fixed to the Wall above them against the East side of the Chappel both of Alabaster 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 Lady 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 honourably buried in the floor of this Chappel The other for the Lady Jane 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 Chappel not far from the Monument of Francis Holles is a raised Tomb of Alabaster about five foot from the ground adorned with Arms and Inscriptions 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 Lion couchant with a rich Jewel pendant at the end of a Chain encompassing her neck and falling between her breasts all curiously wrought and admirably 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

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 wherein is yet to be seen the bones and Skelliton of an embalmed body much defaced as it should seem by the removal 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 repository of that noble Family as may be seen more at large in the Monasticon Anglicanum and in Sir William Dugdales Baronage of England yet two of his Children which he had by Elizabeth 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 Mylling Abbot of Westminster and Bishop of Hereford Privy Counsellour and Favourite to King Edward IV. and Godfather to his eldest Son Prince Edward who dying about the year 1493. was buried in the midst of this Chappel 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 taken 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 observation 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 conserved the bodies of some Bishop or Archbishop 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 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 thereto § 132. At whose feet is the third ancient Monument without a Canopy or any Inscription where on a raised Pedestal of Freestone lies the Image of a Mitered Abbot in the Vestments 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 supporting his Pillow all of the same Freestone curiously ingraved under which William de Colchester Abbot of Westminster is said to be interred § 133. Against the East Wall of this Chappel is a most magnificent and stately Monument about twenty six foot high where by an ascent of Greeses of black and white Marble you are led to a curious fashioned Tomb of an admirable composure framed of the Porphyry the Lydian Touch Serpentine Agate Alabaster and divers coloured stones finely wrought and adorned with Gold At the four corners whereof are as many Pyramids of black Marble Supported by Pedestals of the same whereon are placed threescore and four Shields of Arms painted in their proper colours with the names matches and quarterings belonging to that noble Family These Pyramids and the Tomb are overshadowed 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 Pennons 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 supporting and composing various forms of Architecture diversly placed on the noble Arch whereby the whole becomes very beautiful and magnificent which was erected here by George Carey Lord Hunsdon Governour of the Isle of Wight Knight of the Garter Privy Counsellour and Lord High Chamberlain to Queen Elizabeth for his Father the Lord Henry Carey Baron of Hunsdon Governour of Berwick Captain of the Gentlemen Pensioners Justice in Eure on this side Trent Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter Lord High Chamberlain Privy Counsellour and Cousin German to Queen Elizabeth who died in the 71 year of his age anno 1596. and for his Mother the Lady Anne Daughter of Sir Thomas Morgan Knight § 134. By these two illustrious persons in the same Vault lies Thomas Carey second Son to Robert Lord Carey of Leppington Earl of Monmouth 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 North are two large Statues at full proportion The one of a man in Armour The other of a Lady in a Cypress Veil of white Marble both reposing themselves and resting their arms on a Table of black under a Canopy the Curtains withdrawn with an Atchievement of Arms all of curious wrought Alabaster but there is no Inscription or Epitaph which was ordered to be defaced upon the restauration of his Sacred Majesty by reason it was set up for one Collonel Edward Popham an opposer of his Majesties undoubted right to his Kingdoms but by the intercession of some of his Ladies Friends who had eminently served his Majesty the stone was only turned whereon the Epitaph was insculpt and the Monument permitted to remain Sed Nigro carbone notanda § 136.
