HELMSLEY. 409 



are various devices on painted glass, on either side 

 of the altar table is an ancient stall, and in the same 

 part of the building are various inscriptions on mo-, 

 numents, which the limits of my work will not allow 

 me to insert. Passing on to the south transept 

 after beholding a neat and elegant pulpit, are seen 

 various escutcheons of the noble family of the Dun- 

 combes, one has the Duncombe arms alone ; and 

 others bear the Duncombe arms quartered with the 

 arms of alliance. 



In the same transept is a flat stone, with the effi- 

 gies of a knight and his lady, which I conceive be- 

 longs to the family of the Manners, whose crest is 

 a peacock, which appears to be the device on the 

 head of that stone. 



In the east wall of the north transept, are two 

 exceedingly neat monuments raised to the memory 

 of several branches of the family of Mr. Sandwith, 

 surgeon of Helmsley. 



One records the death of William Sandwith, 

 Esq. surgeon, who died August 1808, on his pas- 

 sage from Bombay, aged 52 years, after an absence 

 of 30 years from his native place. 



On this monument, besides the inscription, is a 

 female figure weeping over an um, having in her 

 right hand, a staff with a serpent twisted round it, 

 the emblem of the medical profession ; and at the 

 bottom of the monument is a serpent formed into 

 a ring, (the extremities of its body meeting) which is 

 a just emblem of eternity. The other monument is in 

 memory of Robert Sandwith, who died April llth, 

 J$18 aged^ 37 years. Mary Swale died July 27tiif
