JOHN PRINCE. 357 
The inscriptions are as follows: 
‘Ht pro omnibus benefactoribus hujus operis orate. 
Ricardus Toudor Alyn uxor ejus 
Varlet (?) Tailor Deonis ux. ei. 
Edwardus Lane Johanna ux. ei. 
Ricardus G‘wan (?) Alys ux. ei. 
Johes Godrogge Withan ux. ei. 
Johes Oldereve [the remainder of this portion of the inscription 
(if any) is hidden by the screen which surrounds this pillar] 
Johes Goderofy Isabel ux. ei. 
Johes Letin Alys ux. ei.” 
Which may be translated : 
“ And pray for all benefactors of this work. 
Richard Tudor Alice his wife 
Varlet (?) Tailor Deonis his wife 
Edward Lane Johanna his wife 
Richard G‘wan (?) Alice his wife 
John Goodridge Wealthy his wife 
John Oldereve 
John Goodridge Isabel his wife 
John Letin Alice his wife.” 
These pillars were a good deal out of the perpendicular, but 
have recently been restored to their proper position. The porch 
has a finely-groined ceiling supported on slender circular shafts, 
and on one of the carved bosses are the Pomeroy arms. 
On the north side of the church is an old altar tomb, on which 
were originally effigies and brasses, now removed; this appears to 
have been the tomb of Sir Richard Pomeroy, before referred to as 
the probable rebuilder of the church. In the north chancel chapel 
is a large Corinthian monument to the memory of Lord Edward 
Seymour (son of the Protector Somerset), who died in 1593, with 
his effigy, and those of his son, Sir Edward Seymour, Bart., and 
his wife and eleven children. 
The church also possesses a very handsomely-carved screen, the 
side of which towards the chancel has however lost its original 
elegant colouring, and has been grained. It has been a good deal 
mutilated, but on the panels at its base can still be traced the 
representations of many saints. The pulpit is of the same date as 
the screen, and the tower, which contains four bells, is square and 
embattled. On the western side of the south porch is an old slate 
sun-dial, with the date ‘‘ 1687” carved on it, having been erected 
while Prince was vicar.
