is
in memory of "Clement Madeley, DD., 42 years Vicar, who died Good-Friday,
1845, aged 73;" also of his wife Martha, who died 1807, and of his son
Houghton, who died 1838, erected by his daughter, M. A. Dymoke, {44b}
wife of Rev. John Dymoke, Champion.

In a glass covered case in the north aisle of the chancel are three
volumes of Foxe's _Book of Martyrs_, 1632 edition, these were formerly
chained to a desk, and parts of the chains remain. They were given by
Nicolas Shipley, gentleman, in 1696, who also presented a brass
chandelier of 24 sockets; he was among the benefactors to the poor of the
town. The present glass case and desk on which the case rests, were
given by the late Vicar, the Rev. A. Scrivenor. Along with these vols.
are "The History of the Old and New Testaments, gathered out of sacred
scripture and writings of the fathers, a translation from the work of the
Sieur de Royaumont, by several hands. London, printed for R. Blome, I.
Sprint, John Nicholson and John Pero, 1701." There are some good old
engravings of "The Work of Creation," "The Temptation and Fall of Man,"
"The Expulsion from Paradise," "The Murder of Abel," "Ishmael Banished,"
&c. The first of these is dedicated to "Her sacred Majesty, Mary, by the
grace of God, Queen of England, Scotland, France, Ireland, &c., by Her
Majesty's most obedient servant Richard Blome." The next is dedicated to
"Her sacred Majesty Katherine, Queen Dowager of England," by the same;
another is dedicated to "Her Royal Highness Ann, Princess of Denmark;"
and other plates are dedicated to various Lincolnshire worthies, some of
these are rather damaged, and the fine old bible is imperfect.

Various old documents may here be quoted, which give items of interest
connected with this church. In _Lincolnshire Wills_, 1st series, edited
by Canon A. R. Maddison, F.S.A., 1888, is that of James Burton of
Horncastle, of date 9 June, 1536, which mentions the lights burnt in the
church at that time before different shrines; these were in all 23, of
which 7 were in honour of the blessed virgin, one was called "The light
of our Lady of Grace," another "Our Lady's light at the font." Mention
is also made of a "St. Trunyan's light;" this last saint is connected
with a well at Barton-on-Humber, but nothing further is known of him
under that name. It has been suggested that it is a corruption of St.
Ninian (_Lincs. Notes & Queries_, vol. i, 149), and in connection with
this it
