        Gent. Mag. December, 1832.
        The family of Nicholas is well known as firm Royalists. Sir Edward, or as he is generally called Mr. Secretary Nicholas, ... but he was not immediately related to the family at Manningford, for his arms were different (see them engraved in Simon's Seals, pi. xxxi).
        Sir Oliver Nicholas, the father of the husband of Mrs. Jane, was cupbearer to King James I. and carver to King Charles the First, and left his own principles of loyalty to his son Edward. The marriage of the latter with Miss Lane was blest with only one son, who died unmarried before both his parents, at the early age of twenty-two; but he was soon followed to the grave by his mother; and they lie side by side within the altar rail. Near them is Mr. Nicholas himself; and another stone commemorating the death of some one who died in 1722, aged 63. As nothing but " Nicholas, esq." and the dates remain, it might be a brother or a second wife of Mr. Nicholas, though 20 years younger, as the former wife was 10 years older. His own monument is erected against the north wall of the chancel, with this inscription :

        " Hie infra sita sunt reliquiffi viri memoria dignissimi, Edvardi Nicholas, armigeri, hujus pagi Toparcha?; qui, tarn ecclesia; quam Monarchic Anglicana, fidei inviolata;, amicitia? fabularum exemplis non secundum, patientia? nullis dolorum eruciatibus expugnabilis, et festivitatis ingenii qua delicias omnium se reddidit. Frustra renitente podagra diuturna, exemplum posteris celebre reliquit: et tandem, iixequieto morbo fractus, et vita- ct inonim liominum pertsesus, animam cgit lubens, cal. Maii decimo tertio, anno salutis 1706, artatis 77."

        There is only one other monument, with this inscription on a shield :
        "HE ARE I. AYES THE BODY OF ELIZ. HIND. BVRIED JU'Y 5, 1675."
        The stone is situated among the graves of the Nicholas family.
