front in the recess between the large west doors and the small 
south west door, rather high, —bears for inscription— 
Sacred to the memory of Miss Harriett Mathews who 
died June 1768. 
Also of Thomas Mathews esqre grandson of the late 
Admiral Mathews who died April 23rd 1820 aged 77. 
Also of Diana relict of the above Thomas Mathews and 
daughter of Robert Jones of Fonmon Castle in the county 
of Glamorgan esqre who died 28th March 1822 aged 82. 
Also of Charlotte Jones, 3rd daughter of Robert Jones 
of Fonmon Castle, Glamorganshire esqre and niece of the 
above Diana Mathews, who died 29 Dec 1839 aged 62. 
This tablet requires some special remarks. Who Miss Harriett 
may have been does not appear but her presence shows an 
earlier connection with Bath. As to Thomas it must be observed 
that here as well as elsewhere he is esquire, not even captain. 
He accepted presumably the courtesy rank but personally never 
used it. The tablet differs again with the death date of the 23rd 
April instead of the 25th of the Journal or the 30th of the 
Chronicle. The fact would seem that both journals got behind 
with their news. The Chronicle means sunday week which 
would be the 23rd and the /ournal has adopted a useful 
misprint. Then the tablet tells that Diana was a daughter of 
Robert Jones and that Charlotte was also a daughter of Robert 
Jones and niece of Diana but how she became niece to Diana 
is left as a puzzle. By her will proved 27th January 1840* 
Charlotte calls herself third sister of Robert Jones, late of 
Fonmon, and 19 Portland Place, now of g Edgar buildings. 
There were then three Roberts. Robert i had Robert ii and 
Diana. Robert ii in turn had Robert iii and daughters, 
Charlotte being his third daughter and so niece of Diana, and 
equally third sister to Robert iit.
