"Thomas Smith, whose name so frequently occurs in these accounts, was most probably afterwards of Campden, Co. Gloucester; he had also a grant of the manor of Lyersocle, Co. Heref. jointly with his son-in-law, Hugh Walshe, which was confirmed in the 35th of the same king. That Smythe was a man of considerable importance, may be inferred as well from his matrimonial alliances, as from the inscription on his monument, in which he is described, '_a pueritiâ suâ aulicus_.' In the College of Arms there is a grant to Thomas Smith, by Christopher Barker, dated Boulogne 1544, and afterwards confirmed by Gilbert Dethick, from which it appears that he was at Boulogne in that year; probably attendant on the court there. Elizabeth, the first wife of Thomas Smith, was daughter and coheir of Eustace Fitzherbert, and relict of Edward Smith, of Cresing Temple, Co. Essex, by whom she had two children. By Thomas Smith it is not clear from the pedigrees, which exhibit some discrepances, that she had issue. His second wife was Katharine, daughter of Sir George Throckmorton, of Coughton, relict of Robert Winter, of Hoddington; Co. Wigorn, by whom he had a numerous family. He was Sheriff of Gloucestershire in the years 1571 and 1593 and died 1593. Over the place of his interment near the altar of Campden Church, on the north side, is a canopied monument of the time with his figure in knight's armour of the size of life. On the compartments between the pedestals under the columns are bassi relievi, representing his two wives, seven sons and six daughters. On the western face of the monument, are the arms of Smith, viz. a Fess between three Saltires; and in another escotcheon, the Crest, viz. two Amphibamies indorsant. On the south side are three escotcheons, the westernmost with the arms of Smith. The next towards the altar, Smith impaling Throckmorton; and Olney, Spyne and Bosson, quarterly. The last, Smith's impaling Fitzherbert in the first and fourth, and two other coats quarterly. Against the north wall of the chancel is the following inscription:--'Hic jacet vir verus Christianus Thomas Smith Armiger quondam Manerii di Campden Dominus, a pueritiâ suâ aulicus, qui suo tempore fuit e consiliis Regis Marchiæ Walliæ bisque Vicecomes comitatus Gloucestriæ, ac justiciarius pacis ejusdem comitatus usque ad extremum ætatis, qui habuit duas uxores; primam Elizabetham Filiam et hæredem Eustatii Fitzherbert Armigeri, secundam Katharinam filiam Georgii Throckmorton Militis cum filiis et filiabus ut hic patet qui obit die ... Anno Dom. MDXCIII.'
