Pendant from the arch a lozenge of Arms: An eagle displayed sable on a canton or a fess dancetty between six billets ermine (Parkyns). Impaling Argent a lion rampant double queued sable (Cressy). Inscription: This Monument is Sacred to the memory of Dame Anne Parkyns, Relict of the late, and Mother to the now Thomas Parkyns of Bunny, Baronet. She came a Blessing into the family at Bunny, whether we consider her Birth (either as descended from the ancient family of Cressey of Berkin in Yorkshire, who came in with William the Norman and whose Mother was Grandaughter to the Earl of Dorset, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth from whom the present Duke proceeds,) or her plentifull Estate as an Heiress, or the wisdom of her Conduct in it. Her principles in Religion were truly Christian deeply Grounded and adorned with a suitable Conversation. She had 3 sons, Cressey was her eldest; Thomas Luctator, her second; and Beaumont her youngest: 2 daughters Cathrine and Anne. She Answered the end of her Creation in being kind to her Children and Grandchildren and long and often denied her self many conveniences due to her Quality, fortune and years that she might see them live plentifully in her life time. She joyned with her son Sir Thomas Parkyns to Qualifie the poor Vicarage of Bunny for the Queens bounty (as appears by the stone set up in the Church wall:) left a good annuity to the school and the support of the poor widdows: there and though many good things may deservedly here be written of her, yet nothing can be said to tarnish any part of her happy Character. For the sake of her family and as a reward of her Piety, God was pleased to draw out her precious life to a Good and great Age. She died January the 11th 1725, Aged 92 years-. (Photo Oct 2015).
