33 SECTION II. OF THE HUTTON FAMILY OF MARSKE. TIMOTHY HUTTON, above mentioned, eldest son of Archbishop Hutton, was born about the year 1569. Where he received his education, we have no account; most probably, it was at York. About March, 1592, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir George Bowes, then deceased. He had been Knight-Marshal1 to Queen Elizabeth, who was Godmother to his daughter, and named her after her own name. Her mother was Jane Talbot, aunt to the Earl of Shrewsbury. After the solemnization of that marriage, Bp. Hutton gave his son nineteen hundred pounds, as appears by the following Deed. [See this Deed in its chronological order.] In 1594, he returned to his studies again, (which very probably had been interrupted by his marriage,) as we learn from this letter of Dr. Tobie Matthew to him. [See the Letter hereafter in the Appendix.] He was put in the commission of the peace for the North Riding of the county of York, in 1598, as is evident from the following letter of his father the Archbishop to him. [See 1598 hereafter.] In 1605, the same year that his father died, he was High Sheriff of Yorkshire and knighted.3 He had the misfortune in 1625 of losing his lady, who was buried in the chancel of Richmond Church in the county of 1 [This is a singular mistake. Sir George Bowes, being already a knight, was armed with military or martial power during the Northern Rebellion in 1569; but there was no necessary connection between his title of knight and the office.-ED.] 2 Pedigree; and Epitaph of this lady a little lower. Fuller's Worthies in Yorkshire, p. 220; and F. Drake's History of York, p. 354. D 4 York, of which burgh he was an Alderman. He himself died in 1629, and was buried by her side. Their eldest son erected, afterwards, a monument for them against the south wall of the said chancel; on which is the following long epitaph, whereof the part that belongs to Lady Hutton was composed by her husband.5 5 See the Epitaph. ["The effigies of Sir Timothy and his lady are placed in a recess in the wall, kneeling on embroidered cushions with golden tassels, and both facing the east, with hands conjoined and elevated in the attitude of prayer: he in the dress of a knight, armed, except his helmet and gauntlets, a sword by his side and gilt spurs at his heels, with a peaked beard and lank hair: she in a loose black gown or mantle, hanging down to her feet, the sleeves close at the wrists, a large quilled frill about her neck, her hair combed back over a roll and tied behind with a golden fillet; at the top of her head is a small flat oval cap of lace, turned over her forehead from the back part of her neck. Over them are painted the arms Hutton, Gules, on a fess between three cushions Argent, tasseled Or, as many fleurs-de-lis of the first, impaling Bowes, Ermine, three long bows bent in pale, Gules. Facing Sir Timothy are placed again his arms, and those of the lady behind her. Under the parents are engraven small figures of their twelve children in a row, some lying in swaddling-cloathes, and others kneeling in military, ecclesiastical, and female dresses, peculiar to the age in which they lived, each over its own inscription. Beneath this are their respective arms, according to the connection which they formed by marriage, &c. Round the whole are placed in separate situations female figures, emblematical representations of Faith, Hope, and Charity, with Fame at the top blowing her trumpet, between two angels. The attitudes of all the figures are graceful, and afford fine specimens of monumental sculpture, which reflect great credit on that age. The whole is in fine preservation, and was erected by their son, Matthew, the memory of his respected parents."-Clarkson's History of Richmond, p. 160, where there is an engraving of the monument.—It is stated by Dr. Ducarell, above, that the inscription referring to Lady Hutton was composed by Sir Timothy, her husband. The words "sic deflevit" do not warrant this inference. It is more probable that the whole of the inscription, both upon the parents and their children, was written by John Jackson, who at that time was Rector of Marske, under Sir Timothy's patronage. Jackson is the acknowledged author of a similar monumental inscription in memory of his own wife (see Whitaker's Richmondshire, i. 224); and to his pen, without almost any shadow of doubt, must be referred that most singular epitaph in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English, discovered now upwards of half a century ago, in Easby Church, near Richmond, in memory of Richard Swale, a person apparently of great merit. Dr. Whitaker, in his History of Richmondshire (i. 106), gives a facsimile of this inscription, and, as the date is wanting, places it a century earlier than what appears to be its real period, very fancifully ascribing it to the pen to Dominus Timotheus Hutton, Eques Auratus, (Filius Reverendissimi in Christo patris Matthæi Archiepiscopi Eborum, præsulis ob acre judicium et morum gravitatem invidendo hoc elogio decorati, quod dignus esset, [qui®] præsideret consilio œcumenico) hic deposuit exuvias suæ mortalitatis. Quoad pietatem et religionem, uno verbo, patrissabat: Quoad Прoσwжоуpapiav, adeo enituit in blando vultu veneranda majestas, ut vere diceres eum ad imaginem Conditoris conditum ; Quoad opes, fuerunt illæ non raptæ, immo non partæ, sed relictæ ; Quoad prolem, felicissimus fuit tam πoλʊтeкvią quam vtekvią ; Quoad vitam, beavit eum præ cæteris trias ista, hilaris animus, facundum os, et mensa hospitalis. Denique quoad mortem, abavaσia decubuit hic servus Christi eo ipso die, quo Dominus resurrexerat, anno ultimæ patientiæ sanctorum, 1629.

(Arms, Hutton impaling D'Arcy.) 7 Upon the tablet in the margin of this part of the inscription is painted a bleeding heart pierced by twelve arrows, and a broken bow. The name of Bowes and the armorial bearings of Lady Hutton's family are alluded to in almost every line. • There are diminutive representations of the above three children, wrapped in swaddling-clothes, above the inscriptions which refer to them, and beneath each is the family coat of arms. 9 Arms beneath, Mauleverer impaling Hutton.
