"Those whom in youth love joined, death's day of gloom
With little warning sank into the tomb;
He, Dacre's seed, first yielded to the blow,
She lingered on in weariness and woe;
Their hearts responsive beat till life's calm close,
Together here the bones of each repose,
United by one grave,—in faith they lie,
One blissful meed awaits them in the sky."
In Chiddingly Church there exists a noble monument to the memory of Sir John Jefferay, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer.
He died full of years and honours in the year 1578.
