The following inscription on a monument which has long since disappeared, is 

 remarkable. It is recorded that " at the east end of the Chancel Charles Godwin, 

 Bishop Godwin's son, and Dorothy his wife " lie under a flat stone thus inscribed — 



" Prceiiiit Oorothea 

 Seqiietur Carolus 

 Ambii resurgent." 



God-wyn the one, God-won the other. An entry in the burial register informs us 

 tha Dorothy Godwine was buried the .^seventh day of May, 1638.
