. The history and antiquities of the county of Buckingham. ° die mensis Octobris A*^ Dni 1385. Within the rails, at the east end of the aisle, isan altar-tomb of jet. In the central coinpartment,in relievo, the arms of Wesl, impaling two chev-rons within an engrailed border : on others, a scullcrowned with laurel or bay, a snake, and variousemblems. Between the panels, on narrow slips of black marble, the figures of a celestial personage,with a nimbus ; the right hand in a posture ofbenediction, the left holding a cross : a mournfulfigure, in a long robe, with a staff: a figure, withdishevelled hair, pointing to the Sun in the firma-ment, his left hand on the top, and left foot onthe tread of a spade, placed on the globe of theearth. These are on the north side. On thesouth remain only the fainter outlines of twomourners, and a skeleton holding a scythe, withemblems, on the panels. At the west end is a plate of brass, with aTemple or Sepulchre, having a lofty arch in thecentre, under which is a shield, containing thearms of West, as before :. ^i«-4.,^
