In my former paper I mentioned the Hutton monuments in 
the Choir of St. Andrew of the demolished church, and referred to 
the effigies of Mr. Anthony Hutton and his wife Elizabeth, so 
minutely described by Bishop Nicolson in 1704. The inscriptions, 
according to the Bishop, were two in number, one was— 
“Here lyes interr’'d Anthony Hutton Esqr who was a Grave, 
faithful and judicious Counsellor at Law, and one of the Masters 
of the High Court of Chancery; Son and Heir of that renowned 
Kt S' William Hutton of Penrith; and was matched into the 
Noble Family of S' Thomas Burdett of Bramcourt in the County 
of Warwick Baronet, by the marriage of his vertuous sister 
Elizabeth Burdett; whose pious care and religious bounty hath 
erected this marble tomb to perpetuate the memory of such a 
worthy Commonwealth’s-man, and of so dear a Husband who 
dyed the roth of July, 1637.” 
The second inscription was— 
“ Here lies the Portrature of Elizabeth Hutton, the wife of the 
late deceased Anthony Hutton ; who, though living, desired. thus 
to be placed in token of her union with him here interr’d, and of 
her own expected mortality.” 
How long the widow continued to gaze upon her own sepulchral 
effigy and expect her death, the burial registers inform us by the 
following entry which I think there can be no doubt refers to her :— 
1673—Elizabeth Hutton, gentlewoman, widow, buried. 
She therefore lived in widowhood 36 years after the erection of 
the monument. This contrasts curiously with a similar case in 
Cornwall, where the widow erected effigies of her deceased husband 
and herself, and married another husband within three months. 
These Hutton Hall monuments, along with other brasses and 
tablets, recorded by Bishop Nicolson in 1704, have been missing 
ever since the church was rebuilt in 1720-22. It is probable they 
were taken to Hutton Hall for security while the church was being 
rebuilt, with the intention of re-erecting them in the new chureh 
when completed, but the misfortunes of the Hutton family at that
