Uploader's Comments

Henry Worth, Armiger, lies beneath this tomb. Worth distinguished in his grandfathers for thirty ages. His worthy virtues and worthy constancy shine, His worthy faith and worthy love of religion. No one was more upright than he was, nor a great lover of what is right; Outstandingly deserving and worthy in name and in fact, He passed away not by dying, he only disappeared and Goes away worthy to be numbered in the heavens above. He lives in his son Henry and his grandson Henry So that he stock of the ancient house being renewed may not fall. He died August 3 rd in the year of our Lord 1606, of his age 72
