Die well and live for ever,

Memoriae Sacrum,
William Ferrers, Citisen of London, second sonn of
Roger Ferrers of Fiddington, Gent., had 3 wives, with
whom he lived 50 years most lovingly, and by whom
hee saw himself a happy father and Grandfather; all
his Children died before him. Hee preferred many of
his Brothers, of his Kindred, and of his countrymen, and left
behinde him several Workes of Piety; as to the Poore
of this Place where he was borne £10 per annum.
To a Preacher in this Parish, and to the mending of the
Highways about Fiddington, To every one £5
yearly for ever. Moreover he gave £30 yearly for
ever towards a free school in Tewkbery, and £5
per annum to the Poore of that place, with several
Guiftes to the Poore, and other pius uses in and about
London. Hee likewise gave large Legacies both
in Lands and Monyes to his 3 Grandchildren,
Brothers and Kindred. Hee departed this Life the
26 Day of September 1625, and lies buried in Allhallows
Church in Lombard Street, London.
Thomas Ferrers, his Brother, and part Executor,
with love and care built this small Monument.
This monument doubtless commemorates William, the second son of Roger Ferrers described as of Corsham in the above pedigree.
In the Herald's Visitation of London, 1634, two pedigrees of Ferrers are recorded. To one of those families the same arms as on the monument are allowed, differenced with a martlet. The pedigree commences with Roger Ferrers of Hidington, co. Glouc. (doubtless Fiddington, the error arising from a mis-reading of the double “f”). This Roger was probably the same as Roger described as third son of Roger said in this pedigree to be of Corsham, and brother of William.

Bromley Saint Leonard
Tudor House, Lower Manor
From: "The Copartnership Herald", Vol. IV, no. 46 (December 1934)
http://www.mernick.org.uk/thhol/bromley4.html
Bromley Hall is the Manor House of the Lower Manor, and stands upon the site of the principal mansion in the original Manor of Brambeley where Lady Ida Triket held her customary Court in the reign of Richard I, to which reference has already been made.
The manor having passed into the possession of Holy Trinity Priory, Aldgate, the lands comprised therein were afterwards let on lease, the last being granted for the term of thirty years, from Midsummer 1509, to John Blount, esquire, of ''the manor and farm of Bramlegh, with all lands, meadows, &c. (except a tenement with garden and orchard in the tenure of John Chyrchman.)' The profits arising out of the manorial rights were reserved by the lessors. Before the lease ran out, however, the monastic property had beem seized by the Crown; and subsequently the Commissioners, acting on its behalf from time to time, granted fresh leases. On reversion to the Crown in 1606 the manor, then described as the Lower Manor, was sold outright. William Ferrers died in 1625 possessed of it, and in Bromley Church there is an interesting monument of this gentleman, of his wife and infant son. It is composed of alabaster, with panels of black marble. Under arches supported by pillars are the demi-figures, coloured and gilt, of William and Jane Ferrers. In a panel over the effigies there is this motto:-
Liue well, and dye neuer,
Dye well, and live eauer.
Beneath is a niche containing the figure of a sleeping child, who lies with his head on a golden tasselled pillow, and a rose in his hand. On either side on the panels below are these words
As nurses strive
theire Babes in bed to lay
When they too ly-berally
the wantons play.
Soe to prevente
his farther growinge crimes,
Nature his nurse,
gott him to bed betimes.
The inscription beneath is as follows:-
'Here lyes ye body of William Ferrers ye only son and heyre of Will Ferrers Esquire Citizen & Mercer of London, who tooke to wyfe Iane one of ye daught' of Sr. Peter Van-Lore, of London Knight by whom he had one childe, His Wyfe & childe dyed both before him and he departed this lyfe a month before his Father. He was a gentleman of religious sovle towardes God and a sweet behaviour towardes Menn and his death was by his kindred and generally mvch lamented. He dyed the 25th. of August 1625 and left his Vncle Thomas Ferrers his Executor who to the memory of him hath erected this monument.'
In this most pure and blessed shade
(Such by the sacred ashes made,
That here inhabit must) does lye
The man whose virtues cannot dye.
His alms, his prayers, his pyety,
Have sent his sowle abpve the sky.
Nature full well had taught his wyfe,
To sow her powers in pius lyfe
To God, to friend, to poore, to all,
Shee was as good as we dare call
Frail flesh: good passenger give prayse
To them who made such happy dayes.
Some readers may find it necessary to read the inscription more than once. They will be rewarded for their pains.
