Diary of Anne Clifford. 13th May 1619. The 13th I was one of the mourners at the Queen's funeral. I attended the corpse from Somerset House to the Abbey at Westminster. My Lord (age 30) was also one of the Earls that mourned. I went all the way hand in hand. with my Lady Lincoln after the sermon, and, all the ceremonies ended, my Lord, myself, and the Earl of Warwick (age 31) and his Lady (age 29) came home by barges, being come home I went to my Sister Beauchamp to shew her my mourning attire. At the funeral I met with my old Lady Pembroke (age 57) and divers others of my acquaintance with whom I had much talk. My Coz. Clifford was also a mourner and bare the banner after the Lords. When all the company was gone and the Church door shut up the Dean of Westminster, the Prebends, Sir Edward Zouch (age 31), who was Knight Marshall, came up a private way and buried the corpse at the east end of Henry the 7th Chapel about 7 o'clock at night. There was 180 poor women mourners. I went to see Lord Hertford (which was the last time I ever saw him) in Channel Row and spake very earnestly in Wood's behalf, but I could not prevail and his answer was that he would not pay any of his grandchildren's debts after his death.
This night my Lord made a great supper to two or three of the Frenchmen that came over with the embassador. After supper there was a play and then a banquet at which my Lady Penniston (age 24) and a great many of Lords and Ladies there.
The 13th. It is past 13 years and a month since my Father's funeral was kept and solemnized in the Church at Skipton as Queen Ann's Body was this night buried in the Abbey Church at Westminster.

All About History Books
The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson. Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.
On 28th August 1620 Edward Zouche of Woking (age 32) wrote to his cousin Lord Zouch of Odiham that he intended to offer King James and Prince Charles more mirth in their forthcoming visit to Woking than the Bishop of Winchester would at Farnham, with masques every night. King James stayed at Woking with Zouch at the start of September 1624. He hunted towards Busbridge, and wrote to the Duke of Buckingham that he would stay longer, "so earnest I am to kill more of Zouch's great stags."
