If it be demanded why the title of “knight” was not put on his tomb, but only “esquire,” it may be answered that he was knighted by the Emperor Charles V., and Queen Elizabeth would suffer no foreign honour to be worn by her subjects in her dominions, saying, “Her sheep should be known by her mark only.” The knight lies buried in the east corner of the north aisle of this church. His effigy in complete armour is on a brass plate on the stone. He gave £4 4_s._ yearly from the rental of houses in St. Giles’, that the great bell of St. Peter’s Mancroft Church should ring at four o’clock every morning and eight in the evening for the benefit of travellers. The following epitaph in this church is a specimen of good versification for the time in which it was written, 1616:— “Here Richard Anguishe sleepes for whom alyve Norwich and Cambridge lately seemed to strive; Both called him son as seemed well they might; Both challenged in his life an equal right: Norwich gave birth and taught him well to speake The mother English, Latin phrase, and Greeke; Cambridge with arts adorned his ripening age Degress and judgment in the sacred page; Yet Norwich gains the vantage of the strife, Whiles there he ended where began his life. September XXIII. Ao Dni. 1616.” The church is a large handsome cruciform structure of freestone mixed with flint, begun in 1430 and finished in 1455. It is a good example of the perpendicular style, and is the finest parish church in the city. It is 212 feet in length, and 70 feet in breadth, with a noble tower 98 feet high, covered with paneling, and containing an excellent peal of 12 bells, a clock, and chimes. The bells weigh 183 cwt. 2 qrs. 14 lbs., and were exchanged for an old peal of ten in 1775, at a cost of £800 raised by public subscription.
