opened a round one of considerable size, which affords an agreeable 
light, and renders that chantry the most cheerful part of the edifice. 
The church and chancels have all covered roofs, ceiled about the year 
1633 ; before which they were open to the tiles and shingles, showing 
the naked rafters, and threatening the congregation with the fall of a 
spar, or a blow from a piece of loose mortar. 
On the north wall of the chancel is fixed a large oval white marble 
monument, with the following inscription ; and at the foot of the wall, 
over the deceased, and inscribed with his name, age, arms, and time of 
death, lies a large slab of black marble : 
Prope hunc parietem sepelitur

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 Revd. 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 speaketh. 
He died April 8'^, 1784, aged 66 years.
