of Dorchester who by King Edward VI. was created Duke of Suffolk and afterwards to Adrian Stokes Esquire who set up this Monument to remember her she had a Daughter named Mary by her former Husband the Marquess of Dorcet who died in the year 1578. and was buried by her without any Monument Tomb or Grave-stone § 57. By this of the Dutchess of Suffolk is a little raised Tomb of grey Marble on the top of which are placed the Images of two small Children a Boy and Girl in Alabaster neither of them being above sixteen Inches in length at the feet of the Girl is a Lion couchant but part of the Boys feet and Tomb under him is broken away there being no Inscription or Epitaph thereon but are reported to be two Children of Edward III. King of England viz. William of Windsor so called because born at the Kings Castle of Windsor with his Sister Blanch of the Tower for that in the Tower of London her Mother was delivered of her both lying under this little Tomb. § 58. On the left hand of the door of this Chappel and not far from this little Tomb is a most noble raised Monument of grey Marble set about with twenty four little Images of various coloured Alabaster and white Marble under each of which are the blank Escutcheons remaining whereon had been as many several Coats of Arms depicted which are now wholly wholly worn away and decayed On this Tomb is an Image of admirable wrought Alabaster in his Coat Armour and a deep Shield on his left arm whereon is graven the Arms of England within a bordure of France and was placed here for John of Eltham Earl of Cornwal having two Angels on each side supporting his head and a Lion couchant at his feet carved and finely pictured of the same Alabaster with a Canopy covering the whole with delicate wrought Spires and Masons work every where intermixed and adorned with little Images and Angels according to the fashion of those times supported by eight Pillars of white stone of the same curious wrought work But there is no Epitaph or Inscription further to inform us He was the second Son of King Edward II. by Isabel Daughter to Philip le Bell King of France and took his Surname from the place of his birth viz. at Eltham in Kent he was advanced to the title of Earl of Cornwall by his Brother King Edward III. made twice Lieutenant of all England by the same King upon his Expeditions first into France and then into Scotland during his absence But attending his Brother in the tenth year of his Reign into Scotland he fell sick at St. Iohnstones Town and there died without Wife or Issue and was afterwards brought into this Chappel and here honourably buried and had this Monument erected to his Memory § 59. In the midst of the Area of this Chappel under a large grey Marble Tomb about two foot from the ground with her Effigies engraven thereon in Brass under a Canopy artificially pourtrayed adorned with Arms and devices of the same Brass with an Epitaph circumscribed in French all remaining intire at this day lies Elenore Dutchess of Glocester who was one of the Daughters and Coheirs of Humphrey de Bohun Earl of Hereford Essex Northampton and High Constable of England and Wife of Thomas de Woodstock Duke of Glocester Son to King Edward III. by whom she had a Son who died in his Infancy and a Daughter named Anne who was Wife first to Edward Earl of Stafford and afterwards to Sir William Bourchier Knight from this Anne by her first husband the atinent Dukes of Buckingham were descended and by her last the Bourchiers Earls of Essex she died on the third of October 1399. § 60. There is another raised Tomb of grey Marble somewhat higher than that of the Dutchess of Glocester adjoyning to Sir Bernard Brocas whereon is portrayed the Effigies of a man in Armour with his head on his Helm ensigned with a Crest and his feet supported the one by a Leopard the other by an Eagle with divers antient fashion'd Shields and Coats of Arms all engraven on curious wrought Brass fixed to the Marble and remaining intire at this day with an Epitaph in Latine Verse insculpt on the same brass plates just under his Effigies to inform us that Humphrey Bourchier Son and Heir of John Lord Berners lies there interred who married the Daughter and Heir of Frederick Tilney and lost his life in those Civil Broyls of the Houses of York and Lancaster taking part with Edward IV. against Henry VI. in the Battel of Barnet from whence he was brought and here intombed I know not how it came to pass but certainly there is a mistake in Mr. Camdens Collection of these Monuments where he places this Tomb to another Humphrey Bourchier who was Lord Cromwell and Son to Henry Earl of Essex who was slain at the same time at the Battel of Barnet and interred in this Chappel hard by the Monument of William de Valence without any further remembrance of him And for a confirmation that this Tomb was made for the former Humphrey Son of the Lord Berners not only the Verses of his Epitaph specifie in part as much but is most evident by his impaling the Coat of Tilney with quarterings remaining very visible at this day on the same Tomb. § 61. On the Floor or Pavement of this Chappel adjoyning to the foot of the Tomb of Elenore Dutchess of Glocester is a large grey Marble stone adorned with most excellent workmanship of Brass whereon is lively pictured as he was accustomed to sing or say Mass with a Miter on his head and a Crosier Staff in his hand the Effigie of a Bishop with so much of an Epitaph round the Verge still in being to inform us that Robert Walby Bishop of Durham afterwards of Chichester and then Archbishop of York died on the fourth day of January in the year 1390. and was buried here § 62. More towards the East on the same Pavement is another grey Marble stone with five Plates of Brass whereon are engraven as many Coats of Arms with a Miter in the midst and round about the Verge an Epitaph insculpt on the like Plates of Brass giving us to understand that Henry Ferne who was the eighth Son of Sir John Ferne Knight was Master of Trinity College in Cambridge and afterwards Bishop of Chester who died in the year 1662. at the age of fifty nine years and was here deposited The Chappel of St. Nicolas § 63.

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.

According to my promise I have now given you what information you could reasonably expect in a subject of this nature without imposing any thing upon you for truth that hath not the stamp and evidence of antiquity to confirm it I shall therefore trouble you a little longer by leading you out of the Church into the adjoyning Cloysters which you are let into by two Doors on the South side thereof by that towards the West was the Picture of our Saviour Christ nailed to the Cross the B. Virgin standing on one side and S. John on the other curiously painted and very pitiful to behold and round about the sides of these Cloysters were other noble Paintings with variety of Verses alluding to the History of the foundation and the Figures thereon on every side opposite to the Walls where now are only frames of wood was fine glazed Windows of tinctured glass of divers colours and over the entrance into the Chapter-house on the East-side of this Cloyster which is now the way likewise into the Library was placed the Statue of the blessed Virgin with our Saviour in her arms and two Angels on each side all richly enamelled and set forth with Gold and blue some Vestigia or footsteps of all which are still remaining whereby to judge of the former splendour and beauty thereof § 188. For those Monuments of the dead which are to be found about these Cloysters I shall not observe the like order and method as I did in the recital of the foregoing Monuments in the Church and Chappels esteeming most of them of that inferiour nature that reading their Epitaphs and Inscriptions you will receive light enough concerning them To which I shall refer you and you will find towards the latter end of this Book among the Monumental Inscriptions But there are four Grave-stones on the South side of this great Cloyster that deserve our particular inspection and for that they have no manner of Epitaph or Inscription now remaining I shall not only inform you to whom they belong but give you the antient Verses formerly insculpt about them § 189. The first is a plain white Marble stone heretofore covered with Plates of brass under which lies Vitalis Abbot of Westminster in the time of William the Conquerour who died anno 1082. and had this Epitaph ingraved thereon Qui nomen traxit è vita morte vocante Abbas Vitalis transiit hicque jacet § 190. At the feet of Abbot Vitalis is a grey Marble stone the Effigies of an Abbot carved deep thereon a Pastoral Staff in his right hand but no Miter on his head under which Gislebertus Crispinus Abbot of Westminster who died anno 1114. in the time of King Henry I. was interred with these Verses formerly inlaid round the ledge in brass Hic Pater insignis genus altum virgo senexque Gisleberte jaces lux via duxque tuis Mitis eras justus prudens fortis moderatus Doctus quadrivio nec minùs in trivio Sic tamen ornatus nece sexta luce Decembris Spiramen Coelo reddis ossa solo § 191. There is another stone of white Marble at the feet of Gislebertus whereon is carved the Image of an Abbot with a Miter Ring and Pastoral staff in his right hand of the same Marble under which lies Laurentius another Abbot of this Monastery who first obtained from Pope Alexander III. to him and his Successors Abbots the priviledge to use the Miter Ring and Gloves he died anno 1176. and had these Verses ingraven round his Tomb. Clauditur hoc tumulo vir quondam clarus in orbe Quo praeclarus erat hic locus est erit Pro meritis vitae dedit illi laurea nomen Detur vitae laurea pro meritis § 192. That large and stately plain black Marble stone which is vulgarly known by the name of Long Megg of Westminster on the North side of Laurentius the Abbot was placed there for Gervasius de Blois another Abbot of this Monastery who was base Son to King Stephen and by him placed as a Monk here and afterwards made Abbot who died anno 1160 and was buried under this stone having this Distich formerly thereon De regum genere pater hic Gervasius ecce Monstrat defunctus mors rapit omne genus § 193. There were likewise buried in this Cloyster P. Vowel who died anno 1557. Gabriel the Son of Gawin Goodman by Helena his Wife a Child he died anno 1576. Anne Birkhed aged 102 years died anno 1568. and Christopher her Son anno 1596. Edward Bernard a Kings Scholar died anno 1584.

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
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 â—hâ— Workmen taking up the steps enâ—â—ring the Chappel belonging to the White Tower they found these bodâ—â—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. Wife of Thomas Monke Esquire his lineal Ancestor he was descended from Edward Grey Viscount Lisle Son to the renowned John Talbot sometime Earl of Shrewsbury by Margaret his Wife of that valiant Earl from the famous Richard Beauchamp Earl of Warwick and Aumarle Regent of France whose eldest Daughter and Co-heir she was he had by Letters Patent bearing date the seventh day of July in 12 Car. 2. these several Dignities and Titles of honour conferred upon him and the Heirs Males of his body viz.

Edward Mountague his Companion both in life and death was Son and Heir to Sir Sydney Mountague de Hinchinbrooke in the County of Huntingdon Knight who was youngest Brother to Edward the first Lord Mountague of Boughton This Edward no less than his fâ—llow-Souldier the Duke of Albemarle by land became intrusted with the like power of being Admiral by Sea and by the same Usurpers where for a time both of them were forced to disguise their honest thoughts by a seeming compliance with their unjust tyranny By which means they became the chief and happy Instruments without any opposition of restoring again the Laws Liberties Peace and Tranquillity of these Kingdoms and their lawful Sovereign after twelve years exile to his undoubted Right and Inheritance For which good services he was made Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter a Baron of this Realm by the Title of Lord Mountague of S. Neots in Com. Hunt Viscount Hinchinbrooke and Earl of Sandwich But being Vice-Admiral to his Royal Highness James Duke of York and Albany in the Sea-fight between the English and the Dutch on the twenty eighth of May Anno 1672. had his Ship called the Royal Iames most unfortunately set on â—irâ— where he lost his life in the forty seventh year of his age his body being afterwards found on the Sea Coast was taken up and brought to Westminster in great state and here honourably interred He married Semina Daughter to John Lord Crew de Stene in Com. North. and had Issue six Sons Edward Sydney Oliver John Charles and James and four Daughters Jemina Paulina Anne and Katharine § 90. On each side of the Founders Tomb are two small Chappels In that on the North is a most Magnificent and stately Monument for George Villers that Great Duke of Buckingham who was slain at Portsmouth with a Ponyard in his Expedition to the Isle of Rea by the impious hands of Felton a Lieutenant under his Command in the year 1634. â—e married Katharine the Daughter and Heir of the Earl of Rutland and had several Children by her viz.

towards the West being the first Tomb on that side you have under an antient large Arch in the Wall a little Monument of grey Marble on which is portraitured and finely ingraven the Effigies of a Knight in Armour reposing his head on his Helm crested with an Unicorns head coped and crowned and at each of the four corners a Coat of Arms insculpt of the same brass with several Caskets and Coffers with an Inscription in part remaining round the Verge of the Tomb whereby may be gathered that Sir Thomas Vaughan Knight who was first Chamberlain to Edward Prince of Wales and afterwards Treasurer to his Father King Edward IV. lies underneath § 137. Here is a most noble Tomb in the midst of this Chappel raised about five foot from the Pavement of black and white Marble the Pedestal set about with fourteen Escutcheons of Arms and on the top the Images at full proportion of an Earl in his Parliament Robes with the Collar George and Mantle of the Garter and his Countess in her Robes of Estate with a Garb supported by two Lions rampant placed on a Torce under the feet of the Earl and a Griffon passant under those of his Countess all of the aforesaid white Marble admirably polished and curiously ingraven with an Epitaph round the Verge expressing that Thomas Cecill Earl of Exeter and Baron Burleigh Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter and Privy Counsellour to King James lies there interred together with his first Wife whose Image that is on the Tomb the Lady Dorothy Nevill Daughter and one of the Co-heirs of the Lord Latimer As likewise his second Wife the Lady Frances Bridges of the noble Family of the Lord Shandois whose Effigies is not here though there be left room on the North side of her Husband as it should seem for that purpose § 138. On the South side by the foot of this Tomb at the head â—f the entrance into the Lord Hunsdons Vault was Charles Howard a Child of two years old interred anno 1670. having a little stone placed over his Grave he was the third Son of Charles Earl of Carlile § 139. Coming from this Chappel of St. Iohn Baptist on each side the entrance are two little Monuments of Alabaster black and white Marble with some small Figures thereon adorned with Arms and Epitaphs That on the West for Juliana Crew Daughter of Sir Randolph Crew Knight Lord Chief Justice of England â—y Juliana Clepesby his Lady who was the Daughter and Heir to that antient Family in the County of Norfolk She died on the twelfth of April anno 1621. § 140.

Where by opening a door on your right hand you are let into the undercroft being something dark by reason of the vicinity of the houses erected in the Church-yard almost adjoyning to the Windows Yet you may see a plain Marble Table supported by four small Pillars of wrought Brass and fixed to a Pedestal of the same stone where formerly had been placed the Skeleton in his shrowd curiously insculpt and composed of Alabaster with an Epitaph circumscribed and several Verses thereon which are all now taken away except the Table c. under which was John Islip Abbot of Westminster interred The fame of this Abbot with his benefactions to this Church I have discoursed on elsewhere yet I forgot to tell you how he designed a stately Tower and Lanthorn with a goodly Chime of Bells to be placed therein over the midst of the Cross of this Church but finding the foundation of the old Pillars too weak to support his Structure the Bells were set up in one of the Western Towers where they remain to this day Moreover he caused this Chappel to be made and dedicated to St. Erasmus and adorned the Roof with curious Masons work and neat Carvings with several devices and intaglio's and many rebus's a fancy much in esteem about that time alluding to his name as sometimes you have one slipping boughs in a tree otherwhile an Eye with a slip of a tree and again a Youth slipping from a bough of a tree with a Label proceeding out of his mouth with I slip thereon and the like The whole Vault being interlaced with his Coat of Arms viz. Erm a Fess between three Weesels Gules and such like devices as are the Windows in the Oratory above full of the same But before we take our leaves of this obscure place yet well deserving our pains of seeing we must not let pass the memory of a noble Gentleman who hath a Monument placed here for him § 142. Against the East Wall whereof is a comly Tomb of black and white Marble on whose Pedestal is the Epitaph and on one side the Image of a Knight in Armour lively representing the Original with his Lady on the other excellently figured in curious wrought Alabaster adorned with weeping Cupids and mournful Hymens extinguishing their Torches with Arms and Paintings which was erected by the Lady Alice Daughter of Thomas Fanshaw Esquire the Kings Remembrancer for Sir Christopher Hatton Knight of the Bath her Husband Son and Heir to Sir Christopher Lord High Chancellour of England by whom she had twelve Children He died on the tenth day of September 1619. There is a small Table of black and white Marble against the Wall on the East side of this Chappel nigh the Windows that let in light from the South side of the Church containing a further Encomium of this worthy Gentleman § 143. There was likewise buried here without any Tomb or Grave-stone the Lady Anne sole Daughter and Heir of John Mowbray Duke of Norfolk Wife to Richard Duke of York Son to King Edward IV. but she dying without Issue the Dukedom of Norfolk came to the Family of the Howards § 144. Ascending from this undercroft by a pair of stone Stairs into the Oratory it self wherein nothing remains but some of the rebus's in the Windows as I have said before It being at present made use of before It being at present made use on as a repository for those Statues of our Kings Queens and Princes of the Bloud Royal which lay on their Cenotaphs when their Exequies were celebrated in this Church being here preserved in their Robes of Estate with their Royal Habiliments and other Ensigns of Majesty in Presses of Wainscote viz. Edward III. King of England and Philippa his Queen Henry V. and Queen Katherine Henry VII with Elizabeth his Queen and Henry Frederick Prince of Wales in one Press with Queen Elizabeth King James and Queen Anne
under which lies Thomas of Woodstock sixth Son to King Edward III. who was Earl of Buckingham and Duke of Glocester a man of great Nobility and Renown whom Richard II. his Nephew betrayed and afterwards caused him to be barbarously murthered at Calis anno 1397. He married Elenore one of the Daughters and Co-heirs of Humphrey de Bohun Earl of Hereford and Essex who lieth buried in St. Edmunds Chappel as I have declared before by whom he had Issue one Son and three Daughters viz. Humphrey who died without Issue Anne who was Wife of Edmund Earl of Stafford Joan who died unmarried and Isabel who was a Nun at the Minoresses in London § 153. Towards the North side of this Chappel at the foot of the Tomb of King Edward I. is another large grey Marble stone fairly set forth with fine ingraved brass whereon is the Effigies of a Bishop in the Vestments of his Office with a Miter on his head and a Pastoral staff in his right hand with the Pictures of the twelve Apostles divided and embroidered on either side of him and other artificial Imagery work about it the Epitaph round the Ledge being worn away but was here placed by the command of Richard II. whose Favourite he was to the memory of John Waltham the twenty sixth Bishop of Salisbury anno 1388. He was constituted Master of the Rolles 1382 then Keeper of the Privy Seal and in the year 1391. Lord High Treasurer of England in which Office he continued until his death which hapned in the year 1395. and was buried in this place § 154. Here is likewise on the West side the Feretory of St. Edward hard by the Skreen that separates the High Altar from this Chappel the Chair or Seat whereon our Kings are accustomed to be Inaugurated and Crowned It appears extreamly antient both in its fashion and materials being made of solid hard firm wood with a back and sides of the same under whose Seat supported by four Lions curiously carved insteed of feet lies that so much famed stone whereon the Patriarch Jacob is said to have reposed his head in the Plain of Luza it is of a blewish steel-like colour mix'd with some eyes of red triangular rather than any other form and being broken resembles a Peble The ruines of the Chair it self shews that heretofore it hath been fairly painted and gilt with Gold but at present it is much defaced you have a small Table of Verses hanging thereon but by reason they give us little light concerning the antient story of this stone and Chair I shall trouble your patience with a short Narrative thereof which is reported to have been first in Gallicia of Spain at Brigantia where Gathel King of Scots there sate on it as his Throne Thence it was brought into Ireland by Simon Brech first King of Scots who transplanted it into that Isle about seven hundred years before Christ It was brought out of Ireland by King Ferguze abut 370 years afterwards into Scotland and in the year of our Lord 850 was placed at the Abby of Scone in the Sheriffdom of Perth by King Kenneth where the Coronation of his Ancestors usually had been celebrated who caused this Distich to be ingraven upon it Ni fallat vatum c. And to be inclosed in this wooden Chair Afterwards when Edward I. King of England had overcome John Balliol King of Scots in many Battels he returned in the year 1297 to England bringing with him great Spoyls among which this Throne with the Crown and Scepter of their Kings were likewise taken and offered by him here at the Shrine of St. Edward and ever since hath been made use on as the accustomed Throne whereon our Kings do usually â—it on the days of their Inauguration As to the Prophesie insculpt on this Stone it seems happily to be accomplished sometime since when James VI. King of Scotland came to the Imperial Crown of England whose Grandson and Heir King Charles II. our present Sovereign now enjoys it § 195. The North side of this Chappel is taken up by three noble Tombs That towards the West is a plain Monument of grey Marble raised about five foot from the ground being on the right hand of the entrance without any Inscription or adornments more than a Table of Verses hanging by to inform you that Edward I. King of England Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine Lord of Ireland and Son to King Henry III. by Eleanor Daughter to the Earl of Province lies there intombed He took to Wife Eleanor Daughter to Ferdinand III. King of Castile and Lions who warred often with the Scots and that successively won Barwick c. and in the years 1308. died and was buried here § 156. Eleanora first Wife to this Edward King of England lies under that neat Tomb Northeast of the Feretory of St. Edward whose Pedestal is composed of Freestone and grey Marble whereon are the Arms of England Castile Leon and Pontois ingraven with a Sepulchre painted on the backside to be seen in the Area with divers Monks praying thereat all in plano on this Tomb is her Image in curious wrought Brass gilt with Gold her hair dishevelled and falling in very comly order on her shoulders her head crowned under a â—ine Canopy supported by two Cherubims of the same curious gilded Brass half encompassed on her left side with a screen of Iron wrought through in divers pleasant forms and delightful figures an Epitaph carved on the ledge in French and a Table hanging by in Latine and English Rhime to tell us further that she was only Daughter to Ferdinand III. King of Castile and Leon by Joan his second Wife Heir to Guydo Earl of Ponthieu by which the Earldom of Ponthieu devolved of right to the Kings of England She was Mother of King Edward II. and died in the year 1298. § 157. Between these two lie the Father of this Edward King of England viz. Henry III. under a most sumptuous Monument made Altar-wise of three ascents the first containing only a plain Pedestal of grey Marble wherein there be several Ambries and Lockiers made use of heretofore to lay up the Vestments and rich Copes belonging to the Altar of St. Edward The other is a composure of curious work framed of diverse coloured Marbles and glittering stones resembling those on the Feretory of S. Edward chequered and gilt with Gold supported at each corner by four twisted or Serpentine Columns of the same speckled Marble all brought from beyond the Seas by his Son Edward on purpose to adorn this his Fathers Sepulchre on the top whereof is placed his Image in his Royal Habiliments of solid Brass curiously wrought and gilt with Gold having a Lion at his feet an half Canopy over his head and an Epitaph in French round the ledge all of the same gilded Brass with a Table of Verses hanging by to let us know that this Henry King of England
thereunto On the South side whereof is graved the Cavalcade and Ceremony of his own Coronation and on the North that of his Queens with the Archbishops Bishops and Nobility of the Realm assisting On each side the curious Iron doors composed of grate work beholding the Shrine of St. Edward are two large Statues of Mitered Abbots with several other lesser Images of holy men and devout women among the Primitive Christians in the adjoyning Niches In the Chappel it self is a raised Tomb of grey Marble whereon is nothing remaining but part of a wooden Image without the head which being made as it is said of Silver was sacrilegiously stolen from thence by the impious hands of some pretenders to Reformation who have likewise deprived and stripped it of the fine embroydered and gilded Plates of brass wherewith it was all over covered leaving us nothing now to behold but the frame to which they were affixed On the South side of this Tomb is a Wooden Chest or Coffin wherein part of the Skelleton and perched body of Katharine Valois his Qu. from the waste upwards is to be seen of whom many fabulous stories are reported for her lying here But the truth is that when Henry VII caused the old Chappel of our Lady at the entrance whereof this Queen was interred to be pulled down the Workmen finding her Coffin among others to be well nigh perished and decayed what remained of her body was taken thence and placed in this Capsula nigh her Husband where it hath continued ever since Which is not frequently shewn to any but as an especial favour by some of the chief Officers of the Church Over this Tomb is the Oratory or Chantry Chappel where the Obiits of this King and Queen used to be celebrated and their Anniversary's kept there being two doors on each side the entrance with stairs to ascend into the same where the Saddle which this heroick Prince used in the Wars in France with his Shield and other warlike furniture is to be seen On the backside of this noble Monument towards the Area hath been several paintings and other adornments which are now washed away and defaced but there is still remaining an antient Table in Latine and English meeter hanging thereon This Henry was the Son of Henry IV. King of England and France and Lord of Ireland who vanquished the French in many Battels was by his Father made Regent of France and after his death crowned King at Paris who having married Katharine Valois Daughter of Charles VI. King of France leaving Issue by her Henry VI.
