"Here is the place of James Harington, of Exton, Knight with his wife, Lucy, daughter of William Sidney, Knight, by whom he had 18 children, of whom 3 sons and 8 daughters entered into marriage. The eldest son John, Knight, married the heiress of Robert Kelway, surveyor of the Courts of Wards and Liveries.
The second, Henry, Knight, married one of the heiresses of Francis Agar, The third, James, Esquire, one of the heiresses of Roberts Sapcots, Esquire. The eldest daughter, Elizabeth, was married to Edward Montague, Knight, The second, Frances, to William Lee, Knight, The third Margaret, to Don Benito de Sisneros, a Spaniard, of the family of the Dukes of Fantasgo, The fourth, Catharine, to Edward Dimmock, Knight.
The sixth, Mabel, to Andrew Noel, Knight, The seventh, Sarah had for her husband Lord Hastings, heir of the Earl of Huntingdon. The eighth, Theodosia, Lord Dudley of Castle Dudley.
The said James and Lucy lived 50 years in Wedlock. She died first in her 72nd year. He departed this life when eighty years old, in the year of man’s redemption 1591, the 34th of Queen Elizabeth. Both appointed as their sole executor their son James, who, to perform his duty to his parents, and to leave testimony of his filial affection to posterity erected and dedicated this monument to their lasting memory.
If an old family and ancient busts on the walls; if the badge of a Knighthood, the reward of peculiar virtue; if a numerous offspring and the absence of all complaint throughout 50 years of married life; if late decay and a rapid death; lastly, if a happy estate, and more happy than any estate, a liberal hand, untainted honour, reverence for heaven have made either a happy life or a blessed death, they have made both life and death blessed for us. Now when the fates have bid us to have done with life and the stars demand out spirits, the affection of our heir has gathered our ashes and bidden them rest under this mausoleum".
James was the son of Sir John of Exton 1589 & Elizabeth daughter of Robert Mutton of Peckleton and Phillippa daughter of Richard Willoughby
