—(But I well remember that Dr. Alsop, at his funerall, sayd that he was 80, wanting one; and that he was the eldest of 9 brethren.)
He lies buried in a vault at Hempsted in Essex, which his brother Eliab Harvey built; he is lapt in lead, and on his brest in great letters
Dr. William Harvey.
I was at his funerall, and helpt to carry him into the vault.
In the library at the Physitians' Colledge was the following inscription above his statue (which was in his doctorall robes):—
Gul. Harveus, natus A.D. 1578, Apr. 2. Folkston, in Com. Cantii, primogenitus Thomae Harvei et Joannae Halk: fratres germani, Tho. Jo. Dan. Eliab. Mich. Mat.: sorores, Sarah, Amey.
Under his white marble statue, on the pedestall, thus,
Gulielmo Harveo,
Viro
Monumentis suis immortali,
Hoc insuper
Coll. Med. Lond.
Posuit.
