Part 8 (1/2)

By the records of the Church he appears to have been a great benefactor to it; he ornamented the grand west window with some n.o.ble paintings on gla.s.s of which some little still remains. He gave the screen to the Chapel, and presented two images gilt for the altar of St. Peter and St. Paul, and one for the chapter house. He paid the King 1,000_l._ on account of the merchants, and 3,700_l._ to the Court of Rome, due for the confirmation of abbots.

A little to the left, on another gravestone, plated with bra.s.s, is the figure of an armed Knight, resting his feet on a lion, and his head on a greyhound, which, as the register informs us, represents Sir JOHN HARPEDON, Knight, who died in 1457.

Adjoining this is a gravestone, on which have been the figures, in bra.s.s, of THOMAS BROWNE and HUMPHREY ROBERTS, two monks of this Church, who died in 1508.

On the right as you enter the Chapel is another gravestone, on which has been the effigy of Sir THOMAS PARRY, Knight, Treasurer of the Household, Master of the Court of Wards and Liveries to Queen Elizabeth. He died December 15, 1560.
