[St. Pauls.] Faringdon Ward within. [Monuments.]

chard Beauchamp, late Earl of Warwicke, (which dyed in Roane) and of Dame Elizabeth his Wife. The which Elizabeth was Daughter and Heyre to Thomas, late Lord Berkly, on his side; and on her Mothers side, Lady Lisle, and Tyes. Which Countesse passed from this World the fourteenth day of June, in the yeere of our Lord 1468. On whose Soule JESUS have mercy. Amen.

Wenlocke, by his last Will, dated 1477. appointed, that there should be dispended upon a Monument, over the Lady of Shrewsbury, where she is buried, afore Jesus, 100l. He left Sir Humphrey Talbot his Supervisor. This Sir Humfrey Talbot, Knight, Lord Marshal of the Town of Callis, made his Will the Year 1492. He was the younger Son of John Earl of Shrewsbury, and Margaret his Wife. He appointed a Stone to be put in a Pillar, before the Grave of his Lady Mother in Pauls, of his Portraiture and Arms, according to the Will of John Wenlock. But for want of room and lightsomness in that Place, it was concluded, that the Image of Jesus should be curiously painted on the Wall in Paul's Church, over the Door that entreth into the said Chappel of Jesus; and the Portraiture also of the said Lady Margaret, Countess of Shrewsbury, kneeling in her mantle of Arms, with other of her Progeny: All which was so performed, and remaineth till this Day.

In the Chappel of Jesus, Thomas Dowroy, William Lambe, 1578. and many other have been interred.
