One of the earliest entries decipherable is as follows: "1582", the
2nd of December, buried Robert Waterman, kylled with a tree". In 1600 "a
poor man whose name is unknown" is mentioned as having died in a "doggie
kennel". While in 1612 it is stated that "on Tuesday, the one and
twentieth of July, was here entombed the body of the Right Hon. Edward
Lord Beauchamp, who deceased as week". This was a son of Lord Beauchamp,
who secretly married the Lady Arabella Stuart in the reign of James I and
was imprisoned in the Tower for thus wedding a lady of royal descent
without the king's consent. "In 1675 a "poore traveling man" was buried,
and in 1708 a note is appended to the registration of the marriage of
John Perkins
and Mary Overs,
stating that they "made a rude distrubance and abused ye people coming out
of the church" - London Telegraph.
