and heiress of Henry Bradbourn, of the Hough, or Hulland, in 

 the parish of Ashbourn, in this county. 



It appears from the visitation of Derbyshire made in 1569 and 

 1612, that this John erected a painted window in Staveley Church, 

 which at that time exhibited the Arms of Babington and Dethic, 

 and bore this inscription, " Orate pro bono statu Dni Johis 

 Babington qui istam fenestram fieri fecit." 



Sir John Babington was slain at the battle of Bosworth, by Sir 

 John Blount, Provost Marshal, in 1485. It seems more than 

 probable that his body was conveyed from Bosworth to Kingston 

 (one of his estates much nearer Bosworth than Dethic), and since 

 his widow was interred at Radcliff, close by, in the following year, 

 I presume that he was buried there. An incised alabaster slab, 

 bearing a female effigy, surrounded by a marginal inscription, may 

 still be seen in the north chancel aisle of Radcliff Church. It has 

 " Hie jacet Isabella Babyngton quonda uxor Johis Babyngton de 

 obiit vij The rest is quite obliterated. 



Burke says she died on the 18th of March, i486. (In case of 

 the restoration of Radcliff Church, this Society should have an eye 

 to this valuable memorial.) 



Beatrice, married to Ralph Pole, of Wakebridge. 



Anne, married to James Rolleston, of Lea. She died in 1507. 

 Her husband was living in 15 18. 



Their brass memorial now lies on the south side of the sacra- 

 rium, at Ashover. It was probably removed from the Rolleston 

 Chapel at the east end of the north aisle about the year 1798. 



Elizabeth, married to Ralph Frauncis, of Foremark, in this 

 county. 



Margaret, married to Edmund Pilkington, of Staunton, Derby s - 



Isabel, married to John Rosell, of Radcliff, Notts., and 



Cecily, married to Thomas Samon, of Annesley Woodhouse, 

 Notts. 



Sir John Babington was succeeded by his son, Thomas Babington, 

 of Dethic, Sheriff of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, in 1498, who 

 married Editha, daughter of Ralph FitzHerbert of Norbury. He died 

 on the 13th of March, 1518, and was interred bythe side of his wife,
