“Here is ye buried under this Grave
Harry Haweis. His soul God save.
Long tyme steward of the Yle of Wyght.
Have m’cy on hym, God ful of myght.”
The date is 1430.
Another “brass” upon a stone pillar bears six verses setting forth the worthy deeds of one William Serle:
“Thus did this man, a Batchelor,
Of years full fifty-nyne.
And doing good to many a one,
Soe did he spend his tyme.”
