Erected at the charge of Sir William
Platers, Knight and Baronet, anno 1662.'
To which he adds the note:—
'Hee departed this life the 19th of Aprill anno 1668—idem[699], east side.'
Here Anthony Wood makes the query:—
'Who doe you meane by this person that died 1668?' And Aubrey answers:—
'Sir William Platers. I doe not enter him here as a worthie, but he does implere locum. He was a merry man in the raigne of the Saints. Mercurius Aulicus made a good sport with him and Henry Martin.'
[AT] Aubrey gives in trick the coat: 'bendy wavy of six argent and azure'; but leaves blank the coat it impales.
[AU] James Palmer, B.A., of Magd. Coll., Cambr., 1601/2; B.D. 1613; vicar of St. Bride's, Fleet Street, 1616-45.
