The Dome of this Monument (now taken down) was supported by 8 Pillars of Black Marble; Among the Ruins of which Dome, and other loose Stones, wch. are piled up in an Heap, in this Chancell, I found the Following Inscriptions – Whether or not there was any more belonging to it, I don’t know. *One of the EARLS of WINCHELSEA in Compleat Armour, and his Countess, lying by him, with a Coronet on her Head. Round the Verge of the Marble on which they lie, are the following Names, in Capitals.
