"A mural tablet,"* says Hunter, "used to hang on the north wall of 

 the church, with a Latin inscription, which gave an explanation as to 

 the cause for his burial in Treeton Church. The inscription may be 

 thus rendered : " Edward Bradshawe late of the Society of Gray's Inn 

 in London and one of its oldest members, also of Litton in the County 

 of Derby Esq. who, sojourning in this County while a plague was raging, 

 died full of years and honour 22 Dec : 1665 and was buried near this
