Waltenim Hungerford Dom. Himgerford ad V 



obit Vto cujus anime propritietur Deus. Amen." 



" Here lieth Priest of the Perpetua! Chantry founded 



at tlie Altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary, by Walter Hun- 

 gerford Lord Hungerford who died the 5th 



on whose soul may God have mercy. Amen." The 

 stone was raised a few years ago, and the skeleton of a 

 young man, with the teeth quite perfect, was discovered. 



No. 3. Sir Walter Hungerford. — In the S.E. comer of the 

 large chapel. He was seventh in descent from Sir Thomas 

 (No. I), and died 1595. A curious engraving of this Sir 

 Walter, on horseback, is published in Sir ß. C. Hoare's 

 " ^lodern Wilts." He was buried at first in a small vault 

 under the monument, but his body was afterwards re- 

 moved to a larger one, under the side chapel. The inscrip- 

 tion on this tomb is curiously cut. It runs round the 

 margin, beginning at the east end ; but on the third side, 

 next the south wall, the words require to be read back- 

 wards. It mentions also a son, who died before hiui. 

 "Tyme tryeth Truth quod (quoth) Water Hungerford 



Knyght who lyeth here And Edward hys sone 



to Gds (God's) mercy in whom he strust (trusts) for ever. 

 Ano. Do. 1585, The VI of Desbr." The latter date 

 refers to the son's death. The tomb is of freestone, 

 painted. 



No. 4. Sir Edward Hungerford. — In the N. E. corner of 

 the smaller Chapel. He was brother of Sir Walter, (No. 3). 

 The tomb is of the same pattern as the last. On the slab 

 is this inscription : — 



" Edward Hungerford, Knight, sonne to Walter, Lord 

 Ilungerford, and late Heire to Sir Walter Hungerford, 

 deceased the 5th daie of December, 1607: and lieth hei'e
