Here the Countess of Derby lays down her pen for ever. On the 31st March 1664 she died.
The chaplain of Knowsley, after inscribing her name in his death register, wrote after it: “Post funera virtus”; and her memory and her works will live on in the hearts of the English people.
This noble friend, true wife and mother, loyal subject, Charlotte de la Trémoille, was the embodiment of all the significance of the motto of her house,
“Je maintiendrai.”
