Summary

Description
English: Mural monument in St James' Church, Swimbridge, Devon, to Tristram II Chichester (1624-1654) of Hearsdon in the parish of Swimbridge. He was the eldest son and heir apparent of Tristram I Chichester (1595-1672) (dates per tudorplace.com) by his wife Eleanor (family unknown) (1603-1647), descended from the prominent Chichester family of Hall in the adjoining parish of Bishop's Tawton. He married wife unknown (identifiable by her as yet unidentified heraldry on the monument) by whom he had 4 daughters, mentioned in his will but not by name. (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.184 "Chichester of Hearsdon").

Top insription:

"Tristram the sonn of Tristram Chichester of this parish, Gent., was here interred the 30th day of March 1654 aetatis suae 30" (i.e. "of his age 30")

The central panel contains the following verse under the line Defunctus ad viatorem ("Dead man to traveller"):

Stay thou that passest by look here & see,
An image of thine own mortalitie,
If genteel birth or youth or the loud call,
Of friends could have repreiv'd me I had all,
But sith nor these nor many helps beside,
Could sheild me from that stroak wherof I dy'de,
Be thou admonish'd so to watch and ward,
That death may not assail thee unprepar'd
