Fane, Elizabeth

Translation from Latin: The Lady Elizabeth Fane, remarkable for her ancient descent, but more for her own virtue, daughter of Robert, Baron Spencer of Wormleighton, and wife to the honourable Sir George Fane, of Burston in the county of Kent, Knight. A chaste, modest and pious wife, who in most ardent ejaculations, frequently repeated with a loud voice, recommended her soul to her Redeemer. In the year of our Lord 1618, with great fame [fama], of her age 28, of her marriage 10, leaving no issue. Her most afflicted husband, to this matchless wife, hath gratefully placed this monument, who, as his effigy is placed near hers, so intends their ashes shall be united.
