| Notes |
- Sir Nicholas Carew.
....Sir Nicholas Carew, at an early age, was introduced to the court of Henry the Eighth, where he soon became a favourite, and was made one of the gentlemen of the privy chamber.. .His majesty....removed him from his person, and sentenced him to an honourable banishment, appointing him governor of Ruysbank, in Picardy; to which government he was forthwith commanded to repair, much against his inclination. This little offence, however, was soon past over, ... and as a more substantial mark of his favour, the king appointed him master of the horse, an office of great honour,... and afterwards created him knight of the garter (fn. 31)...in the year 1539, he engaged in a conspiracy, as we are told by our historians (fn. 32), with the marquis of Exeter, the lord Montacute, and Sir Edward Neville;... the trial was summary, and the conspirators were all executed. Sir Nicholas Carew was beheaded on Tower-Hill, the 3d of March 1539; when he made, says Holinshed, "a godly confession, both of his fault and superstitious faith."
.... Sir Nicholas Carew was buried in the church of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, ... A small monument to their memory, supported by Corinthian columns, was preserved when the church was rebuilt, and is placed against the west wall of the porch. The inscription merely enumerates the persons interred there, amongst whom are Sir Nicholas Carew, K.G. his wife Elizabeth, his daughter Mary, and her husband Sir Arthur Darcy. The arms and quarterings of the Darcys and Carews are almost obliterated with white paint, which has disfigured the whole monument.
