On a brass plate:

TO THE MEMORY OF

The most religious and orthodox Christian,

The most loyal subject, and most ancient, and most Serviceable member of this Corporation,

WILLIAM GUY,

Of Water-Crook, gentleman,

Who died the 25th day of December, 1683;

Aged 84 years.

Had loyalty been life, brave Guy thou had then,
Stood Kendal's everlasting Alderman,—
Nay, could the joint united force of all,
That's good or virtuous over death prevail,

Thy life's time thread, no time or fate could sever,
And thou still liv'd to pray King live for ever.'
But thou art gone, a proof such virtue is,
Too good for earth and only fit for bliss ;
And blissful seats, where if blessed spirits do,
Concern themselves with any thing below;
Thy prayers the same thou still dost supplicate,
For CHARLES life, for England's Church and State;
Whilst to thy just eternal memory,

Envy and malice must in this agree,

None better lov'd or serv'd his Prince than thee.

Kendal church-yard.

HERE LIETH THE BODY OF

JOSEPH HALL, M. A.

Sometime Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford;

And late Rector of Wey-Hill, Hants.

Who,

By the help of good natural talents,
And a constant application to literature,
Acquired to a masterly perfection,
The knowledge of various languages,
Ancient and modern;

Of Philosophy, through all its branches;
Of Divinity his principal profession,

Such uncommon attainments, with an open
Ingenuous temper,

And the firmest integrity of heart,

Rendered him a most valuable and faithful friend; An useful and ornamental member of society; An excellent College tutor,

An accomplished and respectable parish Minister.

He departed this life in Kendal,
July 13, 1756;

On a piously intended visit to his aged parent,
Mr. Nicholas Hall, of Lazonby, Cumberland;
Who caused this monument to be erected
In memory of so deserving and dutiful a son.

Heversham church.

Between two arches in the north Aisle of the Chancel, belonging heretofore to the Bellinghams, and now to the Earls of Suffolk and Berkshire, is an elegant monument with the following Inscription :

HERE LYETH THE BODY OF THE

LADY DOROTHIE BELLINGHAM,

Daughter of Sir Francis Boynton, of Barenston, In the County of York, Knt.

And Wife to Sir Henry Bellingham, of Heslington,
In the County of Westmorland, Knt. and Bart.
She dyed the 23d of January, 1626; Aetat suæ 32.

Thrise six year told, brought up by parents dear,
Daily by them instructed in God's fear;

Twice seven years more I liv'd to one betroth,
Whose means,-yea life were common to us both;
Seven children in that space to him I brought,
By nature perfect and of hopeful growth.
His parents unto me, dear as mine own,

There loves were such as to the world's well known;
But ere that one year more her course had run,
God in his mercie unto me hath shewn ;
That all these earthly comforts are but joys,
Being compar'd with those celestial joys;
Which thro' the blood of Christ are kept in store,
For those in whom his word has rul'd before;
To labour borne I bore, and by that form
I bore to earth, to earth I straight was borne.
