of Sir John Arundell, of Llanherne, by Katherine, daughter of 

 Sir John Chideock ; and afterwards, Katherine, daughter of Sir 

 John Wadham, and relict of William Brouning, of Melbury. 

 He was one of the esquires deputed to attend Catharine of 

 Aragon in her progress to London from the West in 1501, and 

 died three years after, leaving a son, Sir Gyles the elder. 



The shield to the dexter belongs to the effigy, and bears the 

 arms of Sir Gyles Strangwayes, the younger, son of the above 

 Henry Strangwayes, Esq., by Margaret, sister to Thomas, Earl 

 of Rutland. Sir Gyles was born 1524 ; married, in 1547, Joan, 

 daughter of Sir John Wadham, of Merifield, co. Somerset, and 

 Edge, co. Devon, sister and co-heir of Nicholas Wadham, 

 founder of Wadham College, Oxford. Sir Gyles died in 1562. 

 It is related that a member of the family was killed in the Seine 

 in the same year (see Froude's History, Vol. VIII. , p. 437). 

 Could this have been Sir Gyles the younger ?

 husband below a monument l on which is the following in-
