Above are the arms of Pierrepont in marble — semee of cinquefoils, 

 a lion rampant, in the dexter chief a crescent charged with a label of 

 three points for difference ; and upon the doors two crests are painted 

 — a fox passant proper, and a lion rampant (to sinister) sable. 



Against the north wall, and close to the last-described monument, 

 is that of Sir John Evelyn — of grey marble — containing within a 

 semi-circular arched niche, and shut in by iron doors, a fine life-size 

 bust of white marble, with flowing hair, a falling collar, like bands, 

 and closely-buttoned coat. The pediment is surmounted by an urn, 

 on either side of which is seated a female figure in an attitude of 

 grief. Behind rises an obelisk bearing the arms and crest of Evelyn. 

 Upon the base is this inscription : — 



P.M. 



Of S' John Evelyn of West Deane in y' county of Wilts. 

 Here lyes (what, Reader Thou shalt seek in vaine 

 In other tombs) a long liv'd hapy man, 

 Whose minde and Body kept soe just apace 

 Thro' all y° various turnings of his Eace, 

 That neither fail'd ; till y" soul went away 

 His sence remain'd, and Death out-run decay. 

 To him y" Great, To him y° Meane repair'd. 

 The one's Adviser, and the other's Guard ; 

 Peace by him dwelt, t'was his delightful toyl 

 To make New Friends, and Foes to reconcile, 

 And what he taught, he did himselfe commende 

 Kinde to his Foes, & Faithful! to his Friends.
