Another, on a child who was killed by a horse,— 
“My parents dear, weep not for me, I pray, 
The thing by which I caught my death, I met upon the Quay.”’ 
“Here lyeth the body of Thomas Neat, of Ride, in the Isle of Wight, 
who departed this life 27th May, a.p. 1674. 
‘“‘ Here lyeth him who once did bear 
Command of men and ships who were 
His own, besides a merchant too. 
Yet this and all would nothing doe 
To keepe from death when Christ doth call 
To come to him that made us all. 
But he we hope with Christ doth rest, 
With whom it’s best for all to rest.” 
In the yard is the tomb of James Devoit, 
who left France in 1685, and was for thirty- 
two years minister of the French Reformed 
Church here and at Stonehouse. He died in 
1723, aged 65. 
The stone, of which I give an engraving 
(copied from a rough sketch), is, or was until 
lately, in the North-yard, and appears to be a 
very early Christian memorial. 
A very gloomy entry in 1661 is as follows: 
“Item: Paid for a shrowde for the old Cruble, 
2s. 6d.” Why the remains of this old gentle- 
man should receive such attention does not appear. There is no 
similar entry, and with it we may quit this somewhat melancholy 
part of my subject. 

And now to come to the Church. Excepting the tower, there 
is nothing imposing or attractive on the outside. Perhaps the best 
view is from the bottom of St. Andrew’s Place, where the south 
transept, the ivy-covered roof-loft staircase turret, and the south 
porch, added to the effect gained by the proximity .of the abbey, 
form a somewhat pleasing picture. But the east end, with its long 
flat front and mean doorway, and the north aisle, the recent additions 
to the transept of which have not much improved matters, are poor 
in the extreme. But the interior is, in my opinion, a noble one; 
at least it ought to be so. It is a fine specimen of a Devonshire 
Perpendicular church, Now that the forest planted within its area .
