"Here lyeth the bodies of Francis Rame esqr and Helen his wife; Francis departed March 19th 1617 of the age of 80 yeares, and Helen departed July 11 1613 of the age of 58. They lived together i holy matrimony 40 yeares, havinge lX sonnes and one daughter.
Their godly life and godly end
assured us that Gods their frend
They died in Christ to rise againe
Death is not losse to them, but gaine
Their faith was strong, their hope was sure
Their Charitie doth still induer
Here and in heaven, even after death
For love ends not with mortall breath.
Their pilgrimage beinge passd well
Christ calleth them now in heaven to dwell"

Sir Anthony's son Wiliam 1589 brother in law of Lord Burghley , in his will asked his "loving friend Francis Rame of Hornchurch, gentleman, my father's old and trusty servant" to be executor, bequeathing him "twenty pounds towards his pains" and "most heartily praying him not to refuse to administer for the natural love and goodwill that he bear to me and mine more than for so simple a recompense "
A learned lawyer, he was Clerk of the Peace for Essex in 1572
In 1616 he gave evidence against Susan Barker in the Chelmsford Assizes who was accused of witchcraft against 3 Hornchurch locals, two of whom died. She was found guilty and hanged
