1). Monument to Thomas Farnham 1574. Stone wall monument. Two aedicules; Thomas Farnham with four sons, his wife Anne nee Eyre with two daughters. Here lodgeth Thomas Farnham late esquire/ Who hath his Howse in darkenes as you see/ He saieth to rottenes Thou art my Sire/ And to the wormes my Brethren must thou bee/ His Bloud had some times Heat his nostrells Breath/ The one nowe chillde the other chokte by Death/ His Linadge fr’m a Knight his Life Unstainde/ His hand not slack in Bountie to the Pore/ But neither Bountie Life nor Linadge Gainde/ Release from Death nor anye Vertues more/ Yet such his Vertues as if Death had Sense/ (Might Pardon crave and move Death to dispence) The Dead even Cry The Livinge are but Vaine/ Howses of Earth Tht must to (Ruins) fall/ From Dust to Dust and Ashes back againe/ This (D)o(om)e is written in the Fleshe of all. This Lawe was sett them from their Mothers wom/ A Crade(ll) for their first Their last a Tombe/ But Blessed is the Man whose first and last/ Is like that Mans that lies Enterred here/ Whose Bodie thoughe in Dust his Soule doth Tast/ The hidden Manna which is Aungells’ cheere/ He Christ beneath Christ Honours him Above/ (He lovde his Lorde and Him his Lorde doth Love). No date on the monument, but the high ruff collars date, and the number of children identify Thomas Farnham of Quorndon d1574.
