        The inscription runs : ' Sacred to the Memory of WILLIAM GORE Youngest Son of WILLIAM GORE Esf.: He was Loyal to his KING Unshaken in his Principles And a Friend to his COUNTRY. In private Life Affable & Amiable of distinguished Hospitality. Liberal to the Poor Benevolent to all. Having no Issue ; the Ancient Family Estates descend to JOHN GORE of Bourton Estf: He departed this Life with great Eesignation the 25th day of Jan?: 1769. aged 68. This Monument was erected by EDWARD GORE of Kiddington in the County of Oxon . Es.: to perpetuate the Memory of a most Affectionate Eelation and by his Will a generous BENEFACTOR.' Beneath is a shield tinctured bearing the Arms of Gore, impaling May (see p. 13 and n. of History). It is conjectured that as the Winter shield seems out of place here, and not suitable for the Winter Monument, that John Gore caused it to be made, and that it represents the daughter of that monument, and the family of the first wife of John, who is only known by her Christian name of Temperance. Underneath is the second, of white marble, inscribed with very large letters : ' Here Lyeth the Body of Elizabeth Wife of EDWARD GORE Esq*: Ob. Dec r . 6th. 1718.' She was the wife of Edward, second son of the second William Gore, who G.E.O. says was buried February 14th, 1727, so he survived her nine, not three years as on p. 13 of History.
