William Bancroft was born in this parish. 

 Afterwards, by the providence of God, Arch- 

 bishop of Canterbury ; who, after he had lost 

 all which he could not keep with a good con- 

 science, returned hither to end his life, where 

 he begun it, and professeth here, at the foot of 

 his tomb, that, as naked he came forth, so 

 naked he must return ; the Lord gave, and 

 the Lord hath taken away ; as the Lord 

 pleaseth, so come things to pass; blessed be 

 the name of the Lord.
