Ao Dni 1863 by Frecheville L. Ballantyne Dykes Esq of Dovenby Hall a 
descendant & representative whose ancestor William Dykes married 21st 
Edward IV Christiana dr & coheir of Sir Richard Salkeld Knt of Corby & 
Jane his wife dt & heir of Roland Vaux of Tryermayne the last descendant of 
Sir Roland. 
Of the original inscription not a trace remains. But the tomb 
on which it is alleged to have been formerly seen is in the north 
transept. That there lived in the reign of King John a Sir Roland’

himself eminence in his profession and the gratitude of his numerous pupils. 
To his talents and industry that school is mainly indebted for the celebrity it 
has attained. He died 29th June, 1860, aged 68 years. His body is interred 
near the north-eastern corner of the adjoining churchyard. This tablet is 
erected by his widow, Elizabeth Catherine Addison, March 1862. 
Mrs. Addison has not exaggerated her husband’s merits, which. 
on a marble tablet in the chapel of Guy’s Hospital are still more 
highly eulogised in these words : 
While earning for himself by his discoveries | a distinguished place in the 
records of Medical Science | He no less effectually secured | through the able 
and zealous discharge of his duties | at this Institution | the attachment and
