An inscription found in the 13th century church in Exton.
Note that the alphabet 's' is written as 'f'. However, in the words
"losses", it is written as 'Lofses' and
"imprisonments" as 'imprifonments. |
| Here resteth Baptist Noel Lord Viscount Campden, Baron of
Ridlington and Lemington. Lord Lieutenant of the County of Rutland. His
eminent Loyalty to his two Sovereigns, King Charles I, and his Conjugal
Affection to Four Wives; his Paternal Indulgence to Nineteen Children; his
Hospitality an Liberality to all that desired and deserved it
(notwithstanding inestimable Losses in his Estate, frequent Imprisonments
of his Person, Spoil and Havoc of several of his Houses, besides the
Burning of that Noble Pile of Campden) have justly rendered him the
Admiration of his Contemporaries and the Imitation of Posterity. He left
this Life for the Exchange and Fruition of a better, the 29 day of
October, in the LXXI (71st) year of his Age A.D. MDCLXXXIII (1683). |
