“ After this blessed founder died, and whent to blisse,
And before the chapter house door buried is,
And Maude Moolte his wife lyeth him by,
One whose soules our Lord God have mercie.
After this Nicholas, then Robert his sonn
Was founder there, by heritane and succession.
And mainteined this place worthily with all his might,
As a blessed founder, and God’s true knight ”

“ After this blessed baron Robert was laid on beyre,
Then was Harvey his sonne, lord and founder here,
Which to this place did benefits many one.
And augmented the lifelode and possession anon.
And when it pleased God, he died, and went to blisse,
And in the chapter house there buried he is. ”

“ And many a blessed dead he did through Gods grace ;
And at Tunbridge he is buried sekerlie,
And dame Margaret his wife lyeth him by,
And his brother sir Edward Stafford ywys,
In this church, in S. Peeters ile, buried he is ”
