The Visitation of Yorkshire in the Years 1563 and 1564 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Visitation of Yorkshire in the Years 1563 and 1564

It may interest some Members of the Harleian Society to learn, that in the house in which this Work has been completed, there lived and died - it being their own freehold - two Yorkshire Worthies, both. Of them natives of the City of York itself. F I mean, first, Henry Swinburne, b.c.l. Of Oxford, Author of'two well-known books on Testaments and Espousals,' who was buried in York Minster 24th February, 1623-4, and whose monument still remains in the North Aisle Of the Choir. And secondly, Sir Thomas Herbert, Of. Tintern, co. Monmouth, and of Middle ton Quernhow, co. York, Baronet, baptized at the Church of St. Crux, York, 4th November, 1606, and buried there 3 March, 1681-2; a member of Jesus College, Oxford, and of Trinity College, Cambridge (wood's 'athenae,' ed. Bliss, VI., p. 15) who in 1634 published a folio volume of his Travels in Persia and the East Indies; but who is still more honourably known, as having been the devoted attendant of King Charles the First during several years Of imprisonment, and one of the Mourners at the hasty and unworthy burial of his Royal Master.
