where ye North Chancell stood, which
belong’d to them.

One of them, was for Sr. Thomas KEMPE
and his Lady.

They formerly had Brass Plates,
and Portraits upon Them, which have
been stolen away since ye Chancells fell.

Close by these, was a Stone for
Sr. Thomas KEMPE, and Beatrice his Wife.

This was used at The Rebuilding the
Steeple, to make Steps up to it.

Several other Stones were sold by
The Church Wardens, when the Chancell
& Steeple were rebuilt, which was
in ye Years 1705 and 1706.

WEEVER says it had ye following
Inscription.

Hic sistunt Ossa Thomae KEMPE,
Marmore fossa, Cujus opus Pronum
Se probat esse bonum.
Dum vixit letus, fuit, et Bonitate
repletus, Munificus viguit,
Pauperibus tribuit.
Jungitur huic Satrix Virtutum
Spousa Beatrix,
Que partitur Opes,
sponte juvans inopes.
Ex his processit, ut Ramus
ab Arbore crescit, Cleri Presidium,
Dux Sapiens Ovium. Christo Lectoris
Mens cunctis supplicet Horis,
Ut Patris Deitas luminet has Anima
