KIRKBY STEPHEN*
* Mr. Bellasis visited Kirkby Stephen Sept. 1874. and the late Canon
Simpson, (then vicar,) with whom he stayed, gave him every facility in his
work. He again visited it with Mr. E. R. Crump, Nov, 1888, and he has to
acknowledge the help afforded him in his final inspection from Mr.
Nathan Berry the obliging and intelligent sexton, to whom the Rev. H. J.
Feilden, in the latter's own absence, kindly referred Mr.Bellasis. Nearly
all the inscriptions lie south of the church, so it has not been deemed
necessary to mark the southern sites of the tombstones. Some few of the
inscriptions could not be properly deciphered. Thus one read thus much
"Departed this . . . 1789, father of 9 children . . . da. who were all the .
. . the fever." Or again "Here lies . . . dy of Ph . . . of Kirk . . . who
d. the . . . " Lastly, "In m. . . d. Nov. 2 . . . aged 25 y." A long low

1 Mr. Hodgson (see note p. 130) cites Machell the Antiquary's account
of all this heraldry, but neither of them identify the various coats &
Machell is occasionally shown by Mr. Hodgson to be inaccurate or incomplete
in his blazon. N. & B. I, 541, speak of 3 "defaced coats" only, at the west
end! Mr. Bellasis' while naming the quarterings &c., has added (in
brackets) the proper metals and tinctures, where Machell has not done so,
and even certain charges where the monument is imperfect. Mr. Hodgson
thinks it possible that in the latter's time the colours, so far as they are
given by him, were extant on the monument.
2 This N .E. corner has been knocked off by some violent catastrophe.
3 They look like saltires and are sometimes 8, sometimes 10 in number
here. See Mr. Bellasis' note in Cumbd. and Westmd Antiq. and Arch. Soc.
Trans., pt. 1, vol. iv.,p. 212.
4 This coat is really divided here per fess with the 3 lions in chief, and
3 ermine spots in base, but it may have been intended correctly as given
above.
5 The relative position of these supporters should be reversed. See Coll:
Arms, Sir E. Walker's Nobility.
6Bendy of 6 or 10, is another version, Segar III. 949.1040.
7As Ufflett heir immediately succeeds St. Philibert heir, according to the
genealogies, and the latter does not appear in her pedigree as introducing
another quartering, this coat has not been identified.
8Mr. Bellasis notes in base a straight and an indented line, Machell notes
both this coat and Montgomery with an engrailed border.
9i.e. Glover's Yorkshire Visitation 1584-5 (Coll. Arms 2nd D. 5.526), gives
a chief and no sinister canton.
10 i.e. This coat was borne by Mary Parke, who, although no heiress, was
mother of Cecily coheir to John Mortimer. (Coll. Arms, Segar's Baronage pt.
2, p. 790), Vert, an eagle displayed or, within a border az. is also another
Mortimer coat, (id).

O'er thy cold dust depriv'd of breath
No sculptur'd urn we raise
Nor mock the lonely house of death
With vainly pompous praise.
It could not reach th' unconscious ear
That mouldering lies below,
Nor from it could thy clay cold breast
A transient gladness know,
But treasur'd in each pensive mind
Thy monument shall be
Until life's troublous dream is past
Our tear shall flow for thee
Mary Ann Banks his sister died Feby. 27th 1831, aged 31.
