 viz., a lion's head affront y per pale argent and azure, and a unicorn 

 statant ermine, maned and unguled or, before a sun in splendour of the 

 last, appear on either side of the monument. Lastly, near the heads 

 of the effigies of the earl and countess kneels a man in armour 

 bearing on his left arm a shield of the Seymour augmentation. 



The last monument which I have to describe is that of Sir John 

 Mompesson and his third wife Catherine Paginton (or Packington) . 

 Sir John died in 1627, and his monument, which stands against 

 the wall of the south choir aisle in the bay next to that of Bishop 

 Mitford, bears a close resemblance in style and treatment to the 

 Hertford monument. The figures of Sir John and Dame Catherine 

 lie under an arch, on the summit of which is a coat bearing Mom- 

 pesson quarterly of 6 impaling Paginton quarterly of 4, as follows : — 

 Mompesson, quarterly of 6. 1 and 6. Mompesson — Argent, a lion 

 rampant sable, charged on the shoulder with a martlet or, in chief a 

 mullet gules for difference. 2. Grodwyn — Gules, a chevron ermine 



1 Wrongly blazoned on the monument.
