THE MONUMENTAL BRASSES OF WARWICKSHIRE.

Translation:— 
Sacred to the memory of Anne Chambers. Near this 
place lies buried the body of Anne the dearly beloved wife 
of John Chambers of Woodend in this parish gent.; who 
departed in the Lord Feb. 15, 1050, in the 35tli year of her 
age, being the sole surviving daughter and heiress of Edward 
Bayleys late of Haselor. She left behind three sons, to wit, 
William, Edmund and John Chambers, and one daughter 
Elizabeth—by the same husband. 
Stay, prithee, and ask whose ashes these are : 
here lietli Affection, virtue, beauty, and modesty. 
She was a modest maid, a dutiful wife, a loving 
mother, who mid much ’grief is buried in this tomb. 
Worthy indeed to have lived to .a hale old age yet 
she was snatched away, the hope and pride of her 
race. Ere she had lived thirty and five years, grim 
fate forbade her longer to survive. Affection, virtue 
avail nought, nought beauty and modesty, nor youth : 
death seizes everything anon. So now Anna, fare 
thee well: thrice, yea, four times blessed art thou 
whose hap it was to live and die in Christ. 
John Chambers composed this. 
Edmund Chambers engraved it. 
William Chambers presented it.
