In the new Chancel are two very fair Monuments erected against the South and North Walls.
| |
|
That against the South Wall, is with two Arches; where are the Effigies of Sir Michael Hicks, Kt. and his Lady, both lying at Length: He in the Habit of a Knight; she with a mourning Veil, leaning their Head on their Hands. Over the Man is this Epitaph:
| |
|
In obitum Clariss. viri D. Michaelis Hickes, Equitis aurati, &c.
Quæ volui vita vidi, dulcissima nuper
Pignora, Consortem charam, sortemq; beatæ
Prolis; Erant nati gemini, nata una parenti.
Optabam Christum: hinc morti succumbo, Lubensq;
Consortem, Sortem, Natos, natamq; relinquo.
| |
|
Me tua mors viduam fecit: tu jam viduatus
Connubium Christi, non viduandus habes.
At junctam hoc tumulo me sponsam rursus habebis.
Sic tua semper ero, quæ tua nuper eram.
| |
|
This fair Monument originally stood against the East Wall in the old Chancel. Which Wall being to be taken down for the building of a new Chancel, (that Part of the Church being found necessary to be enlarged) the said Monument was carefully taken down, and the new Building being finished, it was set up again in the Place where now it stands.
| |
|
Opposite against this Monument on the North Side, Sir William Hicks, Kt. and Bart. in his Life Time erected that magnificent Monument that appears there for Sir William Hicks, Bart. his Father, for himself and his Lady, in three stately Marble Statues; he and his Lady standing, and in the Middle between them his Father, with a Truncheon in his Hand, as Lieutenant of Waltham Forest, and one of the Deputy Lieutenants of the County, lying on one Side. The Monument hath this Inscription:
