Inscribed On The South Side Of The Altar At Otham Church, Kent



In God is all my trust.
Here lyeth the body of Thomas Hendley, esquire by degre,
The yongest sone of Jervis Hendley, of Corsworne in Cramkebrocke,
Gent'man known to be,
Who gave a house, and also land, the Fifteene for to paye,
And to relieve the people pore of this parishe for aye
He died the - - - day of - - - from Him that Judas sold
A thousand five hundredth and ninety yere, being eightie nine yeres ould,
Protesting often before his death, when he his faith declared,
That onlye by the death of Christ he hoped to be saved. (Query, spared!)
Christ is oure only Savior.
