List of Bishops buried in or near London.

In memoriam Samuelis Ellis, Generosi, viri sui dilectissimi, (qui antiquam gentis ejusdem de Kiddal in agro Eboracensi familiam probis & piis moribus magis honestavit, & per totum nuperæ Tyrannidis, & vitæ provectioris cursum, summam erga Deum & Regem intemeratum servavit fidem) Isabella amatissima ejus pariter & mœstissima conjux, &c. hoc Sepulchrale Saxum, novissimum quod possit, amoris Monumentum posuit. Ob. 6. Octobr. M DC LXXVIIIo. Ætat. autem suæ LXXIII. Buried here by his Desire, near Elizabeth his Daughter, who dyed of the Plague.

Hic jacet Claudius Champion de Crespigny è Gallia natali solo pro fide profugus, animam Deo reddidit anno ætatis LXXV. Salutis M DC XCV. Apr. 10.

And thus having, at length, visited the Monuments of the Dead in so large a Compass, I end this long Perambulation, with a List of all the Bishops of both Provinces, buried in London, or within the Bills of Mortality, with their Names, their Sees, Dates of Burial, and the Churches, where: Accurately collected by a diligent Antiquary, and sent to me. By which, any who are minded to know the Inscriptions on the Monuments of the said Bishops, may soon turn to and find them in the foregoing Book, only by observing in what Churches they were buried: Though, perhaps, by this Time demolished in those Churches.
