• Notes

  In the west aisle of the north transept of Westminster Abbey is an alabaster and black marble monument to historian Sir William Sanderson. This shows his bust and the Latin inscription can be translated: ing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">"Sacred to the memory of William Sanderson, Knight, Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the King, a man famous for his family, learning, untainted fidelity to his prince, his writings and integrity. He wrote in English (among other pieces) and published his history of the lives of Mary, Queen of Scots, James and Charles the First, kings of Great Britain. After great hardships sustained under the late tyranny of rebels, after daily fatigues at home and abroad (bravely overcome), after a full length of 90 years of this troublesome life (having still his understanding perfect), he went to a better, 15 July 1676. To her most deserving husband, with whom for 50 years he had lived very amicably, Bridget, daughter of Sir Edward Tyrrel, Knight, and mother of the Maids of Honour to the most noble and serene Queen Catherine, hath with tears erected this monument".
