Summary

Description
English: Monumental brass of Nicholas Carew (d.1469) of Haccombe, Devon. Haccombe Church, floor of chancel. Beneath the figure is the following leonine verse inscription in Latin (Transcribed variously (with varying degrees of accuracy and conjecture) by Stabb and by Prince, John, (1643–1723) The Worthies of Devon, 1810 edition, London, p.166)

Armiger insignis jacet hic Carew Nicholaus,
Prudens egregius de stirpe nobili natus,
Vitam Septembris p(rae)sente(m) clausit eundo,
Ab isto mensis die decimo tercio mu(n)do,
Edwardi nono regni quarti ratis anno,
Necnon millen(sim)o CCCCo quae pleno,
Cu(m) sexagen(sim)o nono d(omi)ni num(er)ato,
Cui solamen a(n)i(ma)e cito det Deus Amen.

Which may be translated as follows:

"A distinguished esquire lies here: Nicholas Carew, outstandingly foreseeing, born of a noble stock. He closed this present life in going from this world on the thirteenth of September in the ninth year reckoned of the reign of Edward the fourth and indeed in the one thousandth four hundredth and sixty ninth numbered of our Lord, a comfort to the soul of whom may God give in haste"
