and relations, of the families of Vere, Cavendish, and Holles, whose eminent virtues he inherited, and was particularly distinguished for his courage, love to his country, and constancy in friendship: which qualities he exerted with great zeal and readiness, whenever the cause of religion, his country, or friends, required. In the reign of Queen Anne, he filled, with great capacity and honour, the several employments of Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, and Privy Counsellor, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of Middlesex and Nottingham, and of the county and the town of Nottingham, and of the East and North Ridings in the county of York; Lord Chief Justice in Eyre, North of Trent, and Governor of the town and fort of Kingston upon Hull: to all which titles and honours his personal merit gave a lustre that needed not the addition of the great wealth he possessed. He was born January 9, 1661-2, and died July 15, 1711. He married the Lady Margaret, third daughter and heiress of Henry Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, by whom he left issue only one child, the Lady Henrietta Cavendish Holles Harley, who caused this memorial of him to be erected in 1723."

WILLIAM CAVENDISH, Duke of Newcastle. -This monument is likewise a stately piece of architecture. Under a rich canopy of state lie, in a cumbent posture, on a double mat, "the loyal Duke of Newcastle (as the inscription beneath sets forth), and his Duchess his second wife, by whom he had no issue; her name was Margaret Lucas, youngest sister of Lord Lucas, of Colchester, a noble family; for all the brothers were valiant, and all the sisters virtuous. This Duchess was a wise, witty, and learned lady, which her many books do well testify; she was a most vir

tuous

tuous, loving, and careful wife, and was with her Lord all the time of his banishment and miseries; and when he came home, never parted from him in his solitary retirements."-So far the English inscription. The Latin shews farther, "that he was a Knight of the Bath, and Baron Ogle in right of his mother, Viscount Mansfield, and Baron Cavendish of Bolesover, Earl of Ogle, Earl, Marquis, and Duke of Newcastle upon Tyne, Lord Lieutenant of the counties of Nottingham and Northumberland, First Lord of the Bedchamber to King James I. Guardian to prince Charles, Privy Counsellor, and Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter; that, for his fidelity to the King, he was made Captain-General of the forces raised for his service in the North, fought many battles, and generally came off victorious; that when the rebels prevailed (being one of the first designed a sacrifice) he left his estate, and endured a long exile. By his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter and heir of W. Bassett, of Staffordshire, Esq. he had two sons and three daughters; Charles, who died without issue, and Henry, heir to his honours; Jane, married to C. Cheyney, of Chesham, Bucks; Elizabeth, to John Earl of Bridgewater; and Frances, to Oliver Earl of Bolingbroke. He died December 27, 1676, in his 84th year."

On the adjoining pillar is a little monument to the memory of CLEMENT SAUNDERS, Esq. Carver in Ordinary to Charles II. James II. and William III. son of Sir W. Saunders, Knt. of the county of Northampton. He died August 10, 1695, aged 84.

Made only her dear Scott,

But Virtue, Worth, and Sweetness, Widowers.

Sir PETER WARREN.-This is a magnificent monument of white marble, to the memory of that gallant Admiral, done by Roubiliac. Close to the wall is a large flag hanging to the flag-staff, and spreading in natural folds behind the whole monument; before it is a fine figure of Hercules placing Sir Peter's bust on its pedestal; and on the other side is the figure of Navigation, with a laurel wreath in her hand, gazing on the bust with a look of melancholy, mixed with admiration. Be hind her a cornucopia pours out fruit, corn, the fleece, &c. and by it are a cannon, an anchor, and other decorations. The inscription is as follows:

Sacred to the memory of
Sir PETER WARREN,

Knight of the Bath, Vice-Admiral of the Red
Squadron of the British Fleet, and
Member of Parliament

For the city and liberty of Westminster.
He derived his descent from an ancient
family of Ireland;

His fame and honours from his virtues and abilities.
How eminently those were displayed,

With what vigilance and spirit they were exerted In the various services wherein he had the honour to command,

And the happiness to conquer,

Will be more properly recorded in the annals of GREAT BRITAIN.

On

On this tablet, Affection with Truth must say, That, deservedly esteemed in private life, And universally renowned for his public conduct, The judicious and gallant officer

Possessed, in the amiable qualities of the friend,
The gentleman and Christian :
But the ALMIGHTY,

Whom alone he feared, and whose gracious protection he had often experienced,

L

Was pleased to remove him from a place of honour
To an eternity of happiness,
On the 29th day of July 1752,
In the 49th year of his age.

Sir GILBERT LORT.-This stately monument is chiefly ornamented with cherubs and family arms, and is inscribed to the memory of Sir Gilbert Lort, of Stockpole, in Pembrokeshire, Bart. by his sister, Dame Elizabeth Campbell, relict of Sir Alexander Campbell, of Colder, in Scotland, Bart. Sir Gilbert died Sept. 19, 1698, in his 28th year. She died September 28, 1714, in her

49th year.

Over Sir Gilbert Lort is a small handsome monument, consisting of a bust and naval ornaments, to the memory of JOHN STORR, Esq. of Hilston, in the county of York, Rear-Admiral of the Red Squadron of his Majesty's fleet. He was born August 18, 1709; died January 10, 1783, and interred near this place.

A small tablet up high, with an inscription in Latin to the following effect:

William Vincent, D.D. Dean of this Collegiate Church, caused this tablet to be erected as a perpetual monument of his affection.

"Sacred to the memory of HANNAH, his most beloved wife; the fondest and most prudent mother, handsome without pride, pleasant without

The Right Honourable CHARLES JAMES FOX is represented on a mattress, falling into the arms of Liberty. Peace (with the olive-branch and dove) is reclining on his knee. An African thanking him for the part he took in the cause of Freedom.

Sir THOMAS HESKETT.-Turning to the right, and against the screen of the choir, is a fine old monument, whereon lies the effigy of a gentleman at full length in a tufted gown; and underneath, upon the base, a lady kneeling. By the inscription these appear to represent Sir Thomas Heskett, Attorney of the Court of Wards of Liveries in Queen Elizabeth's time; and Julian, his wife, who caused this monument to be erected. He died October 15, 1605.

Dame MARY JAMES.-A very neat monument, being an urn, wreathed, and crowned with a Viscount's coronet on a handsome pedestal. By the inscription it appears that this lady was wife of Sir John James, of the ancient family of the Lords of Hosterick, in Holland, and daughter of Sir Robert Killigrew, Vice-Chamberlain to Mary, Queen to Charles I. She died November 6, 1677.

HUGH CHAMBERLEN, M. D. and F. R. S.The principal figure on this monument lies, as it were, at ease, upon a tombstone, leaning on his right arm, with his hand upon his night-cap, and his head uncovered. In his left hand he holds a book, indicating thereby his intense application to study. On each side are the emblems of physic
