But the most magnificent monument in
this chapel is against the east wall, where
stood the altar of St. John Baptist; this was
erected to the memory of Henry Carey,
first cousin to Queen Elizabeth, who, on
being denied the honours of peerage, laid
the disappointment so much to heart, that
he languished for a long time on a sick bed,
at which the Queen being moved, too late,
created him a Baron, and ordered the pa-
tent and robes to be laid before him, but
without effect.  He died on the 23d of
July 1596, aged seventy-two.

Here also is a monument to Thomas
Carey, second son to the Earl of Mon-
mouth, who is said to have died of grief
in 1648, at the age of thirty-three, on ac-
count of the untimely fate of his royal
master King Charles I.

Here are likewise a few antique monu-
ments, particularly one in which the figure
of a Bishop properly habited, lies under a
Gothic canopy.  This is supposed to be
erected for Thomas Rathal, Bishop of
Durham, who died in 1524.

And an ancient stone monument for
William of Colchester, whose effigies lie
with the head supported by an angel, and
the feet by a lamb.

St. Paul's Chapel, has on the left hand,
a lofty monument erected to the memory
of Sir John Puckering, Knt. and Lord
Chancellor in the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
in which office he died on the 20th of
April 1596.  His epitaph in Latin over
his effigies, is thus translated:
