Description: Monument to Sir Henry Carew, 7th Baronet (1779–1830) of Haccombe in Devon, east end of the north aisle, St Blaise's Church, Haccombe, consisting of a chest tomb within an Easter sepulchre-type niche, beneath a stained glass window. The top of the chest tomb is a slab of polished Purbeck marble engraved in Latin in Gothic text as follows, in imitation of mediaeval monuments: Hic jacet in crypta aborum sepultus Henricus Carew Baronettus qui obiit XXXI die Octobris anno d(omi)ni MDCCCXXX (a)etatis su(a)e LI. Hic etiam cum marito jacet Domina Elizabetha Carew Gualteri Palk de Marley armigeri filia haeresque quae obiit VII die Martis (sic) anno d(omi)ni MDCCCLXII aetatis suae LXXVI Which may be translated as: "Here lies buried in the crypt ..... Henry Carew, Baronet, who died on the 31st day of October in the year of our Lord 1830 (in the year) of his age 51. Here also with her husband lies Lady Elizabeth Carew, daughter and heiress of Walter Palk of Marley, Esquire, who died on the 7th day of March in the year of our Lord 1862 (in the year) of her age 76". Above is a three-light lancet window, the middle one displaying the arms of his ancestors who all held Haccombe successively, namely (from top to bottom) de Haccombe, Archdeckne, Courtenay and Carew.
