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

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 into 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 Chappel 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 buried therein But before I shall enter into a description of any of their particular Monuments I shall take leave to say something concerning this religious King and the Feretory made here for him § 146. He was the Son of King Etheldred and Emma his Queen who being long deprived of his Inheritance by the usurpation of Canutus Harold and Hardi●nute the Danes that had murthered his Brother Edmund and occasioned his flight into Normandy for his protection at leng●h was restored to his Crown and Kingdom where he became so eminent for his sanctity and remarkable for his holiness that he was observed to be the first who obtained that extraordinary 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 Silver 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 preserving 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 Canterbury 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 rebuilding of this Church by King Henry 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 Goldsmiths and set about with pretious stones that it amounted to an inestimable value the under part which is still in being was framed by the command and at the charge of Richard de Ware Abbot of Westminster with a part of those stones and by the same workmen which composed the Pavement 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 Columns 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 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 the North side the Feretory of St. Edward lies Editha Queen of England his Wife who was Daughter to Goodwin 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 Shrine under this beautious Floor was Matilda Queen of England interred she was the Daughter of Malcolme 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 Palace 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 without any Tomb or Monument § 150. Under the same Pavement was John and Margaret two Children of William de Valence Earl of Pembroke 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 of the Romans and Earl of Cornwall 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 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 Inscription being torn away
