Found in Bignor Church an alabaster and slate plaque dedicated to Thomas Sefton Baptised 5/12/1607-30/03/1631. 'Scared to the memory of our father Thomas Sefton' Traveller attend. Outside the walls of this chancel sleep the bones of Thomas Sefton, who lived through the happy years of James and Charles before the peace was broken and saw the golden age of the Church. Lancashre was his mother County, Brasenose his foster mother. He reached his climateric and died. Three sons survived him. The eldest practising as a surgeon, made three voyages to the Indies and died at Surat. The second flying from the horrors of Civil War went to Africa. He knew also the downfall of Charles. The third keeping his home and cultivating his fields- a hppy lot lived to a serene old age. Pass on traveller let not thy piety disturb these ashes. He injured none; in peace let him rest. He dies March 1631. |
