Cornwall (England : County) -- Biography
Cosowarth, and Denham: by his latter, the daughter of Sir Robert
Denis, two sons and two daughters; the elder, even from his young
years, began where his father left, and with so temperate a course,
treadeth just in his footsteps, that he inheriteth, as well his love
as his living. The younger brother followeth the Netherland wars, with
so well-liked a carriage, that he outgoeth his age and time of service
in preferment. Their mother equalleth her husband's former children,
and generally all his kindred, in kind usage, with her own, and is by
them all, again, so acknowledged and respected.'
But here we are anticipating a little, and must return to the hero
of the engagement with the Scotch pirate. The victor was at length
himself vanquished by the all-conquering one; and Sir John's monument
is still to be seen in Stratton Church, in which place he was buried,
probably either from his connexion with the Grenvilles[35]--great
patrons of that church as well as of all the other churches in the
neighbourhood--or else, perhaps on account of his family having resided
at Ebbingford (Efford) near Bude Haven, hard by. Indeed, one Raynulfe
Arundell was lord of Albaminster and Stratton so early as the days of
Henry III.
On Sir John Arundell's tomb in Stratton Church he is represented in
brass, lying between his two wives--Mary Beville, of Talland, and
Juliana Erisey, of Erisey. Below the feet of his first wife stand
the sons, Richard, John, and Roger; under the second are ranged the
daughters, 'Margereta, Marie, Jane, Phelipe, Grace, Margeri, and
Annes.' The inscription is:
'Here lyeth buryed Sir John Arundell, Treryse, Knyght, who, praysed be
God, dyed in the Lorde the xxv daye of November in the yeare of oure
Lorde God a MCCCCCLXI., and in the III^{xx} and VII yeare of his age,
whose soule now resteth with the faythfull Chrystians in our Lorde.'
Carew has told us something of 'Jack of Tilbury's' son John, but only
makes a short reference to a Sir Thomas Arundell, who I cannot help
thinking must have been one of the Trerice family, although some
authorities refer him to the Lanherne branch. He was, together with Sir
John Tregonwell and others, appointed, in 1535, to be a Commissioner
for the suppression of all religious houses 'of the sume of ccc marks
and under;' and the rough reception which they met with at the Priory
of St. Nicholas, Exeter, may be read in Dr. Oliver's 'Monasticon
Diocesis Exoniensis,' p. 116.
He had been one of Wolsey's Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber, was made
Knight of the Bath at Anne Boleyn's coronation, and was appointed
Receiver-General of the Duchy of Cornwall, 1549.
