" Here under this stone lyeth the hodie of the late Dame Jane ENGLEFrELD, 

 widowe of Sir Francis Engleiield Bart., deceased : eldest daughter of Anthony 

 Browne Esq. eldest son to Henry Lord Viscount Mountague of Cowdray in the 

 Countie of Sussex. She departed this life the 17'!^ September 1650 aged 75 

 years. Of your charitie say one Ave and a Pater-noster." 



The last line is remarkable in a CJmrch so late as 1650. This 

 Lady was of Fasterne near Wotton Basset. One of her grand- 

 daughters married a Thomas Stokes Esq., (a name connected with 

 this Parish,) which may account for her interment here, (see Ex- 

 tinct Barts. "Englefield.") 



In S.E. corner. 1652. (John Aubrey's Father.) 

 " Hie jacet quod reliquum est Richaedi Awbrey Armigeri, qui obiit 22 die 

 mensis Octobris, mdclii." 



It was Aubrey's intention to erect a little tablet of white marble 

 " about an ell high or better," to both his parents, but this was 

 never done. The inscription prepared by him was as follows : — 



"P.M. EicnAEDi AwrEET Armig. filii imici Johannis Awbrey de Burlton 

 in Agro Heref. : filii tertii Gulielmi Awbrey L.L.D'is et e Supplicuni Ubellis

^Of his father Aubrej' adds that " Alexander Brome hath an 

 Elegie on him in his poems, (his Christian name having been 

 omitted) ; which he made at the request of his next neighbour and 

 friend Mr. Isaac Lyte late Alderman of London, my kinsman : " 

 (and Founder of the Almshouses at Kington). At the time of 

 writing this Epitaph his mother was living, as he adds, " I would 

 have a blank of two lines for my mother." He has also left on a 

 scrap of paper lying amongst his MSS. at Oxford, an inscrij^tion for 

 a monument to himself, from which, as he did not die until 1697, 

 it would seem that he expected an earlier death. The memorandum 

 consists of a shield, bearing six quartcriiigs, " Aubrey, Einon,
