Newark Nottinghamshire
Memorial - "Near this place lyeth interred the body of Mrs Anne Taylor (youngest daughter of John Heron esq and of Jane his wife of this parish) the *first) wife of Doctor Robert Taylor (or Winthorpe), physician Extraordinary to the King and likewise Physician to his Majesty's household. A woman of consummate virtue and prudence, in whom a discernment and fortitude above her sex were happily united with that sweetness of manners which is the characteristic of it, and with a piety, void of all superstition which rendered her one of its greatest ornament
These uncommon virtues, CHRISTIAN READER, which were the daily admiration of her friends, and made the constant happiness of her husband, whilst the Almighty indulged her example to this world, have through the merits of our blessed redeemer, most assuredly obtained her an eternal reward in the next, to which it pleased God to call her on the 12th of November in the year of our Lord 1757, and in the 58th year of her age; after she had sustained with the most exemplary patience and resignation to his will, the misery of a long and painful sickness which had eluded the medical endeavours of her husband's friends as well as his own; whose affectionate regard to so excellent a wife hath consecrated this marble to her memory"

'At the time of [Robert's death which rapidly followed on the reverse of his fortune, he was erecting a magnificent mansion at Winthorpe where he fondly hoped to spend the evening of his days in splendid retirement. He left it, however, unfinished, and it was sold to Roger Pocklington, Esq. His body was to have been brought to Winthorpe for interment immediately after his decease; but the threatened vengeance of some implacable creditor who, under the severe laws then in existence, it was apprehended would seize the body of the deceased, as security for his claim, caused it to be interred in the most private manner possible, in the burial-ground of Audley chapel. However, a few years afterwards, his remains were removed, with those of his infant son to Winthorpe
