Beneath this, is a neat tablet to _Joseph Parsons_, formerly a
prebendary of this cathedral, and _Letitia_, his wife; near which, is a
monument erected to his intimate friend _William Tournay_, D.D., also a
prebendary of this cathedral, and of St. Peter's, Westminster, and for
twenty-five years warden of Wadham College, Oxford, &c.
Adjoining, are the remains of an ancient shrine, supposed to be that of
_St. Ibba_.
Above this is a marble tablet to _Louisa Cole_, of the Vineyard.
On leaving the Lady Chapel, in the north aisle of the choir, is a
splendid monument to _Richard Trice_, beneath which is a handsome
double _piscina_.
Opposite to this, a small marble monument to _Frances_, wife of _Dean
Cosin_, who died March 25th, 1642; above which is an epitaph to
_Dorothy_, the wife of _Francis Standish_, formerly precentor of this
cathedral, who died in 1689.
Opposite, is another plain black marble slab, similar to that in the
south aisle, with a small brass inscription which marks the grave of
_Catherine of Arragon_.
On the north wall of the side aisle is a monument by the celebrated
Gibbons, with the following inscription--
"Sacred to the memory of _Constance_, daughter of _John May_, of
Rawmeare, in Sussex, Esquire; and of _Constance_, his wife, one of
the daughters and co-heiress of _Thomas Panton_, of Westminster,
knight and baronet, and wife of _John Workman_, prebendary of this
church, who, having by all christian virtues and good qualities,
been an ornament to her worthy family, and an honour to all her
relations in her life, resigned up her soul to God with admirable
patience at her death; she deceased in childbed at London; and,
together with her infant son, she was according to her desire, here
interred, where she had frequently worshipped God, in hope of a
joyful resurrection, September 30th, A.D. 1681."
Next, is a tablet to _James Duport_, formerly dean of this cathedral,
chaplain to Charles II., and professor of Greek at Trinity College,
Cambridge.
Adjoining, is another tablet to the memory of the _Rev. John Workman_,
M.A., formerly a prebendary of this cathedral, and rector of Peakirk,
&c.
Next, is a tablet to _William Rowles_, of Washingley, and _Ann
Wilkinson_, his daughter.
The next is to the _Rev. William Gery_, also a prebendary of this
cathedral, and Susannah, his wife, who lived together 47 years. This is
a very handsome tablet.
The last is a handsome tablet to the _Rev. William Waring_, A.M.,
formerly master of the grammar school, who died 1726, aged 66.
