This is a fine piece of statuary, surmounted by an urn, on each side of which is a trumpet, with large rich dra- pery, one side of which is entirely broken off ; in the centre is the coat of arms. The principal figure is represented in a dying posture, and at his feet a weeping figure. It bears this inscrip- tion : ' Thomas Tliynne, of Longleate, in Co. Wilts, esq. Who was barbarously murdered on Sunday, the 12th of Feb. 1632. ' Upon the pedestal, in relievo, the story of the murder is forcibly... depicted, but the figures are shamefully mutilated. The next is a neat tablet to general sir Thomas Trigge, who died Jan. 11, 1814, aged 72. Thomas Owen, esq. On this monument is a fine figure of a judge in his robes, leaning with his right arm on a cushion ; in his left hand was formerly a roll, and over him is an inscription shewing that he was son of Richard Owen, esq^ that from his youth he made the law his peculiar study, and that he died Dec. 21, 1598. Adjoining is a well executed bust of Pasquale de Paoli ; an excelient likeness.
