Monumenta Westmonasteriensia OR AN Historical Account OF THE Original Increase and Present State OF St. PETER's OR The Abby Church OF WESTMINSTER WITH All the Epitaphs Inscriptions Coats of Arms and Atchievements of Honor belonging to the Tombs and Grave-Stones TOGETHER With the Monuments themselves faithfully described and set forth With the Addition of three whole Sheets By H. K. of the Inner-Temple Gent. London Printed for C. Wilkinson and T. Dring at the Black-Boy and at the Harrow in Fleetstreet 1683. TO The Right Honorable HENRY Lord HOWARD Earl of Arundel c. Heir apparent to the Illustrious Prince Henry Duke of Norfolk c. And Earl Martial of England c. My Lord THe honour I have had for some years past of being of your Lordships acquaintance hath given me assurance of troubling your Greatness at present with a Dedication But when your Lordship shall understand to whose sacred protection your illustrious name is called upon and that no less than the dead Ashes of your noble Ancestors humbly lay themselves ●● your Honours feet branch'd ●● their several Stems and mix'd with those of the Bloud-Royal o● England I am confident my invitation will want wings and come too late compared to your Lordships fervent wishes and willing desires to embrace them For that innate piety wherewith your excellent Progenitors have in all ages signalized themselves is more particularly eminent in you as immediately deriving it from so great a stream of virtue as your renowned Father the present Duke of Norfolk Our Chronicles our Histories our Records are all full of the glorious Actions and puissant Name of the Howards The lofty Structures and Princely Fabricks dispersed here and there in this our Island of Great Britain silently speak the Magnificence of their Founders your Predecessors And those who have had the opportunity of being abroad and have passed through France Flanders Brabant Germany even to Rome it self can want no occasion of beholding the pious footsteps of your Religio 〈…〉 ce●●ors by those many marks o● 〈…〉 un●● and liberality they have left behind them And as if Europe alone were too little to have so great a name confined within its borders you have made a descent into Asia from thence into Affrick and planted your fame in no less than three parts of the habitable World To whom then My Lord could I more properly offer these my endeavours but to your self if for no other reason than that you inherit as well the virtues as the honours of such renowned Ancestors But when I shall declare That it was always my intentition to present your Lordship with the first fruits of these my poor labours ever since I had the honour of knowing your Lordship by reason of that affable disposition and generous temper I constantly beheld in your great mind I hope your Lordship will pardon my intrusion and give me leave upon your own account to subscribe my self My Lord Your Lordships most humble and most obedient Servant Henry Keepe TO THE READER OBserving when I was taking out the Inscriptions Epitaphs and Arms belonging to the Tombs and Funeral Monu●ents of this Church for my particular ●●tisfaction and delight what a daily con●ourse of Gentlemen and Ladies as ●ell Forainers as Natives led by their ●●riosity came to behold this so famous Mausolaeum or place of Sepulchre and Re●ository of our Kings Princes and chief Nobility with the Encomium's and prai●●s that were continually bestowed thereon ●et at the same time I could perceive a ●●nging kind of desire that some of the more iudicious and Inquisitive had to be better ●nformed than what this cursory sight ●●d the imperfect relation of the Tomb●ewer had given by their frequent in●●iry after some Historical Narration or ●rinted account concerning this Churches Antiquities and Memories But when they understood how among all the noted Churches of the neighbouring Nations round about her she only had the misfortune in this particular to be least attempted not without some shew of discontent and admiration at so great a neglect and carelesness of her inhabitants They went away full of dissatisfaction and dislike This consideration gave me the occasion of exposing these my Collections to the publick that if possible I might in so●e measure take off the Imputation and blame not without reason laid to our charge by reviving again the almost dead remembrance of this Churches greatness and former splendour and by leaving to Posterity the condition she continues in at this day And if herein I have been any ways serviceable to my worthy Countrymen and can oblige the Noble Stranger I shall esteem my pains and labour so well bestowed that I may be induced according to the favourable reception this Essay shall meet with in the world to travel further in the like kind hereafter Omitting therefore all tedious harangues and long discourses concerning this Churches reputation and renown as is usual on such subjects by reason of my designed brevity in the whole I shall only tell you that for Antiquity Princely Indowments large Priviledges and Immunities it always was and still remains inferiour to none of the most illustrious Churches either at home or abroad But in this is her principal glory that all our Kings and Queens at least from the days of EDWARD the Confessour have honoured it with their Inaugurations or Coronations and many of them made it the place of their burials and Sepulchres The Method that I have proposed in this undertaking is first to give you a concise and short Historical account of the Original foundation and continuance of this Church both in its Buildings and Government with the several alterations and vicissitudes it hath met with for the sp●ce of fifteen hundred years or more And although therein I may seem to differ from many others who have sprinkled th●ir greater Works with something concerning this Abby yet I have done it upon such grounds and taken my evidence from such authentick Records and Testimonies that I have little reason to doubt of the certainty or truth thereof In the next place for that I could not have the Fabrick with the Mon●ments therein so represented to your eye by their Icon's as I could wish the charge and cost far exceeding a private undertaking I have endeavoured by giving you a lively description of each Tomb and Monument by words to fix some Sentiments and delightful Ideas thereof in your mind And lastly I have added all the Epitaphs Inscriptions and Tables as they are now remaining by which such inanimate Creatures are wont to tell us why they are there posited and for whom In collecting these Epitaphs and Inscriptions notwithstanding the gre●● care to preserve them to the contrary I found many liable to the same sate with others elsewhere either wholly worn away by the malevolence of time or defaced by the injury they receive by negligent and heedless Passengers To supply this defect I have

dedicated to Saint Blase in which Chappel Nicolas L●●lington Abbot of Westminster whom I have mentioned before was buried in the year 1386 after he had governed this Monastery twenty five years And Edward a Monk of Westminster 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 Uncle to King Henry VII There is neither 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. and Dean of this Church forty years he founded an Hospital and School at Ruthin in Denbighshire the town where he was born but dying on the Seventeenth 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 engraven thereon in Brass with Arms and Epitaphs was interred viz. William Bill S. T. D. who was Master of Trinity 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 representing an Archbishop in his Pontificalibus under a Canopy of the same stone placed there to remember Simon Langham that famous Monk Prior and Abbot of this Monastery afterwards Bishop 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 Carthusians there which himself had founded but afterwards his bones were translated and interred here hard by the Altar of St. Benedict Against the 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 diverse coloured Marble variously wrought and curiously gilt with Gold on whose Pedestal is the Image of a Countess in her Robes of estate cumbant at full proportion being erected by the command of Edward Earl of Hertford and Baron Beauchamp Son of Edward Duke of Somerset c. Vncle 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 Middlesex who was Lord High Treasurer 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 Gentleman shall think convenient to give him you may therefore save the civil Officer 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 before you enter therein I would not have you overpass a little Monument between the Chappel of St. Benedict and this of St. Edmund being a small raised Tomb adorned with diverse coloured stones and Arched under which are the Effigies of four Children painted thereon in plano but there is no Inscription or Table belonging thereto in this Tomb are inclosed the bones of Richard John and Katharine Children of King Henry III. and was set up by Edward I. King of England for three of his Sons and a Daughter 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 entrance 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 plates of Brass richly enamelled and thereon the Image of William de Valence 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 remaining in the antient Saxon Letters and the rest of the Chest covered with Brass wrought in the form of Lozenges each Lozenge containing either the Arms of England or that of Valence 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 enamelled with their colours This William de Valence for whom this curious 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 of his Sons Monument and being half Brother to King Henry III. was by him advanced to great honours who having 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 William de Valence Earl of Pembroke is a most noble Monument for one of the Successors of that renowned Family of the Talbots Earls of Shrewsbury 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 Marble supported

a Child in a Cradle made of Alabaster finely engraven 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 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 Monarch of Great Britain viz. Mary who died on the sixteenth day of December anno 1607. being two years five months and eight days old § 86. Between these is the third 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 engraven on the Pedestal informing us that his present Majesty Charles II. Monarch of Great Britain commanded this to be erected to revive and perpetuate the remembrance of his Kinsmen those Princely Youths who were most barbarously smothered to death with Pillows in the Tower of London 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 196 years obscurity For some alterations 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 translated 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 Albemarle 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 Albemarle in compleat Armour with his Parliament Robes as a Mantle covering 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 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 Children 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.
