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 encounter or chase on the other with which Figures the whole work is interlaced 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 sufficient 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 admirable workmanship on which Pedestal are placed the Images all of solid 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 commendations and virtues of that excellent Prince and Queen which I have transcribed for your satisfaction and you may find among the Monumental Inscriptions § 79. At the head of his Grandfather 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 Florence 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 Chappel you have several of the Ancestors 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 adorned with gilded Brass Arms an Epitaph 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 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 Margaret Queen of Scots his Wife eldest Daughter to King Henry VII She married Mathew Stuart Earl of Levenox 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 Monuments of Margaret Countess of Richmond and Margaret Countess of Levenox 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 Corinthian Pillars of black Marble the Capitals and Pedestals gilt the Architrave 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 rebellious 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 England he commanded her body to be translated from thence and here honourably to be intombed in a Vault underneath her Monument § 83.
