On the same wall is newly fixed a small square table 
monument of white marble, inscribed in the following 
manner : — 
Sacred to the Memory 
of the Rev^ ANDREW ETTY, B. D. 
23 Years Vicar of this Parish : 
In whose Character 
The Conjugal, the Parental, and the Sacerdotal Virtues 
were so happily combined 
as to deserve the Imitation of Mankind. 
And if in any particular he followed more invariably 
The steps of his blessed Master, 
It was in his Humility. 
His Parishioners, 
Especially the Sick and Necessitous, 
as long as any Traces of his Memory shall remain, 
Must lament his Death. 
To perpetuate such an example, this Stone is erected ; 
As while Living he was a Preacher of Righteousness, 
So, by it, he being Dead yet Speakcth. 
He died April 8'^ 1784. Aged 66 years. 
[But the most interesting monument to the visitant of 
Selborne, that its church can ever contain, is one affixed to 
the south wall. A square tablet of white marble, surrounded 
by black and having a lightly ornamented margin and a label 
below bearing the arms of the family, is thus inscribed : 
In the fifth Grave from this "Wall are interred the Remains of 
The Rev*^. GILBERT WHITE, M. A. 
Fifty Years Fellow of Oriel College in Oxford, 
and Historian of this, his native Parish. 
He was the eldest Son of John White, Esquire, Barrister at Law, 
and Anne, his Wife, only Child of 
Thomas Holt, Rector of Streatham, in Surrey, 
whicli said John White was the only Son of Gilbert White, 
formerly Vicar of this Parish. 
He was Kind and Beneficent To His Relations, 
Benevolent to the Poor, 
and deservedly respected by all his Friends and Neighbours. 
He was born July 18, 1720, O. S. 
and died June 20, 1793.
