On the north side of the chancel close to the wall is a fairetable monument erected of black and white marble, with the sta-tues of a man and his wife lying at full length, and divers childrenkneeling at the head and feet, to the memorie of Sir Henry Leewho married Eleanor Wortley. This Sir Henry Lee died 1633.[?]But this Eleanor married thrice after his death, viz. Eatcliffe. ARMS OF SIR HENKT LEE,KNIGHT AND BARONET. Sir Henry Paget, brother-in-law of Sir Henry Lee, succeeded his father,William Lord Paget, and was the second lord, being summoned to Parliament in the8th year of Queen Elizabeth. He married Catharine, daughter of Sir Henry Knevett,knt. and had issue Elizabeth, an only daughter and heiress, who married Sir HenryLee, knt. and the same therefore, in all probability, as is mentioned above. By somethe issue of this marriage is said to have been only one daughter ; others state thatthere were no children, the wife dying young, and this latter view is certainly con-firmed by the fact that Thomas Paget succeeded his brother as third lord, and wassummoned to Parliament in the 13th year of Elizabeth. This would not have beenthe case if his niece, the Lady Elizabeth Lee, had been alive, or had died leavingissue, for the title, being a barony in fee, would have passed to her or to her issue.—Vide Jordans History of Ens
