‘and they feem to have been reduced to 
about thirty-five in the time of Henry

the churches then remaining between 1 502

to have been reduced to about fifteen.

Bury, I went into the noble parifh church 
of St. Mary, whither the tomb of Henry 
VIII’s fitter, Mary queen of France, 
(afterwards married to Charles Brandon, 
Duke of Suffolk) was removed from the 
Conventual church, at the diffolution of the 
abbey, together withherbody. Themonu- 
ment, which I fketched in my rough coarfe 
manner, was placed clofe to the rorth- 
eaft wall near the high altar of this fine 
parochial, which ftands but a little tg the 
north ef the mott ftately conventual 
church. ‘The tomb is a very plain one, 
of the altar fafhion, compoted of ftone, 
and covered with a table of grey marble. 
About fifteen years before 1 was there, 
as I was told upon thefpot, the weit end 
of the monumen: fell in, wh:n fome peo- 
ple, out of curiofity, going in through the 
hole with a candle, difcovered this inicrip- 
tion on the leaden cofha—
