Canopied with a comely Arch of Freestone adorned with Arms and Masons-work which was made for George Flaccet Abbot of this Monastery but the Inscription and Epitaph round the ledge is torn away § 130. On this Tomb is placed a stone Coffin with a lid of the same and a Crucifix carved thereon wherein is yet to be seen the bones and Skelliton of an embalmed body much defaced as it should seem by the removal of this Capsula from some other place but whose body it is that lies therein I will not aver as meeting no evidence sufficient to confirm it But that it cannot be the body of Humfrey de Bohun Earl of Essex Hereford and Northampton who was Lord High Constable of England and the last of that name as the Officers of the Church have received it by Tradition is evident for that he was buried with his Father Grandfather and great-Grandfather in the Abby Church of Walden in Essex the antient repository of that noble Family as may be seen more at large in the Monasticon Anglicanum and in Sir William Dugdales Baronage of England yet two of his Children which he had by Elizabeth the Daughter of Edward I. were buried here viz. Hugh and Mary And there is a little Monument against the North Wall of grey Marble under that of Thomas Curey erected for them from whence this story might take its original I am inclined therefore to think that it were not improbable to believe it the body of Thomas Mylling Abbot of Westminster and Bishop of Hereford Privy Counsellour and Favourite to King Edward IV. and Godfather to his eldest Son Prince Edward who dying about the year 1493. was buried in the midst of this Chappel and that when the large Vault and Tomb which takes up a great part of the Area of this Chappel was made for Thomas Earl of Exeter and his Ladies this Coffin might be taken up and set by here and the rather for that in Camdens Collection of this Churches Monuments which were taken before the erection of the said Tomb there is no mention of such a Coffin as this which had it been here in his time I am persuaded he would not have overpassed without some observation thereon Yet further if we diligently take notice of the Coffin it self with the form of the Cross on the Cover and compare it with many more of the like fashion both at Canterbury York Durham c. wherein are conserved the bodies of some Bishop or Archbishop it will add to the confirmation of this opinion but I submit to the more Judicious in Antiquities of this nature § 131. The next to George Flaccet Abbot of Westminster lies Thomas Ruthall Bishop of Durham who was Secretary to King Henry VII and died in the year 1524. in a comely Tomb of Freestone with an arched Canopy variously adorned and set forth with Arms both of his See and Family under which is his Image in his Episcopal habit with a Miter on his head and a Pastoral staff in his left hand placing his feet on the back of a Lion couchant but there is no Epitaph or Table belonging thereto § 132. At whose feet is the third ancient Monument without a Canopy or any Inscription where on a raised Pedestal of Freestone lies the Image of a Mitered Abbot in the Vestments wherein he was accustomed to sing or say Mass with a Miter on his head a Crosier staff in his hand and a Ring on his finger a Spaniel Dog at his feet and two Angels supporting his Pillow all of the same Freestone curiously ingraved under which William de Colchester Abbot of Westminster is said to be interred § 133. Against the East Wall of this Chappel is a most magnificent and stately Monument about twenty six foot high where by an ascent of Greeses of black and white Marble you are led to a curious fashioned Tomb of an admirable composure framed of the Porphyry the Lydian Touch Serpentine Agate Alabaster and divers coloured stones finely wrought and adorned with Gold At the four corners whereof are as many Pyramids of black Marble Supported by Pedestals of the same whereon are placed threescore and four Shields of Arms painted in their proper colours with the names matches and quarterings belonging to that noble Family These Pyramids and the Tomb are overshadowed by a glorious arched Canopy every where beset with Coats of Arms Golden Slips Branches Pomegranates Roses c. with other flory and fruit-work very pleasant and delightful to behold on each side of the outward part of this arched Canopy are two Magnificent Pyramids of black Marble adorned with Shields Banners Pennons Cannon Culverins Musquetons Halberts Half-pikes Drums Fifes with other Instruments of War and warlike Trophies carved on the same Marble and gilt with Gold Over the Canopy are no less than twenty several Corinthian Columns supporting and composing various forms of Architecture diversly placed on the noble Arch whereby the whole becomes very beautiful and magnificent which was erected here by George Carey Lord Hunsdon Governour of the Isle of Wight Knight of the Garter Privy Counsellour and Lord High Chamberlain to Queen Elizabeth for his Father the Lord Henry Carey Baron of Hunsdon Governour of Berwick Captain of the Gentlemen Pensioners Justice in Eure on this side Trent Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter Lord High Chamberlain Privy Counsellour and Cousin German to Queen Elizabeth who died in the 71 year of his age anno 1596. and for his Mother the Lady Anne Daughter of Sir Thomas Morgan Knight § 134. By these two illustrious persons in the same Vault lies Thomas Carey second Son to Robert Lord Carey of Leppington Earl of Monmouth and Brother to the last Earl of that surname he was of the Privy Chamber to King Charles I. and greatly favoured by him but upon the death of that Royal Martyr he fell suddenly sick and died in the thirty third year of his age having a little Monument of white Marble against the North-east Angle of this Chappel placed of late to his memory § 135. Next to which directly North are two large Statues at full proportion The one of a man in Armour The other of a Lady in a Cypress Veil of white Marble both reposing themselves and resting their arms on a Table of black under a Canopy the Curtains withdrawn with an Atchievement of Arms all of curious wrought Alabaster but there is no Inscription or Epitaph which was ordered to be defaced upon the restauration of his Sacred Majesty by reason it was set up for one Collonel Edward Popham an opposer of his Majesties undoubted right to his Kingdoms but by the intercession of some of his Ladies Friends who had eminently served his Majesty the stone was only turned whereon the Epitaph was insculpt and the Monument permitted to remain Sed Nigro carbone notanda § 136.
