The wanderers reared God's dome of prayer,
And rest in sculptured memory there.

The present Stone Chapel—originally the King's Chapel— founded by Royalty, was finished by the generosity of individuals. Charles Apthorp, Esq. the son of John, gave 5000l. sterling, a very large sum for the Provinces at that period, about the middle of the eighteenth century.

His Marble Monument with a very fine Latin Inscription, by his Son, still remains in the Chapel, which Monument covers the Tomb of the truly noble-minded race of Apthorp.

How erst the shield, whose crested pride.

The Crest, if not the whole Armorial Bearing, is thought or said to have been conferred upon the Battle Field by Richard.


Soon to that honour sanctioned tomb,
The remnant of the race shall come,
Cold, slumbering by its relics lay,
Unconscious of the kindred clay.
