On 13 Mar 1518 Thomas Babington of Dethick (age 69) died at Ashover, Derbyshire [Map]. He was buried at All Saints Church, Ashover, Derbyshire [Map].

Monument to Thomas Babington of Dethick and Editha Fitzherbert. Excellent painted alabaster monument of the Fluted Period with the colours much refreshed. Carved by Harpur and Moorecock of Burton on Trent. Chest with Angels with Rounded Wings. The monument was probably erected shortly after Edith died. Thomas's will requests the tomb not be disturbed when dies:

I will my body be buryed in my parish church of Ashover, nere by wif Edith, it it fortune me to deceas within xx. myles of the same. And ells in such place as shalbe thought by them that shalbe wt me at the tyme of my diceas; But I will not that the Tombe which I have made in the Church of Ashover be broken or hurt for my carkas, but that it be leyde nere the same, and over that place that I shall lye in, a stone with a scripture after myne executors and supervisour myndis or the more parte of them to be leyde."

Captain William Berkeley: Pepy's Diary. 09 Nov 1663. So to our discourse, and among and above other things we were taken up in talking upon Sir J. Lawson's coming home, he being come to Portsmouth, Hampshire; and Captain Berkely is come to towne with a letter from the Duana of Algier to the King, wherein they do demand again the searching of our ships and taking out of strangers, and their goods; and that what English ships are taken without the Duke's pass they will detain (though it be flat contrary to the words of the peace) as prizes, till they do hear from our King, which they advise him may be speedy. And this they did the very next day after they had received with great joy the Grand Seignor's confirmation of the Peace from Constantinople by Captain Berkely; so that there is no command nor certainty to be had of these people. The King is resolved to send his will by a fleete of ships; and it is thought best and speediest to send these very ships that are now come home, five sail of good ships, back again after cleaning, victualling, and paying them. But it is a pleasant thing to think how their Basha, Shavan Aga, did tear his hair to see the soldiers order things thus; for (just like his late predecessor) when they see the evil of war with England, then for certain they complain to the Grand Seignor of him, and cut his head off: this he is sure of, and knows as certain. Pepy's Diary. 18 Nov 1663. Up, and after being ready, and done a little business at the office, I and Mr. Hater by water to Redriffe, and so walked to Deptford, where I have not been a very great, while, and there paid off the Milford in very good order, and all respect showed me in the office as much as there used to be to any of the rest or the whole board. That done at noon I took Captain Terne, and there coming in by chance Captain Berkeley, him also to dinner with me to the Globe. Captain Berkeley, who was lately come from Algier, did give us a good account of the place, and how the Basha there do live like a prisoner, being at the mercy of the soldiers and officers, so that there is nothing but a great confusion there. Around 1699 he was born to William Berkeley 4th Baron Berkeley and Frances Temple Baroness Berkeley.

HERE LYETH THE BODY OF SIR GEORGE BLOUNT KNIGHT WHICH WAS LORDE OF KINLET WHO DIED IN THE YEARE OF OURE LORD GOD 1581 HERE THYRE CHILDREN BE JOHN AND ALSO DORETHY.

FIAT VOLVNTAS DEI 1584 ANNO DOMINI. AVOVS SERVIR JESUIS

Laid in this tomb is Blount of noble race, Ennobled by light of his own, and BY THE light of his father he was; His lineage most high, knightly by either parent, Worthy of these was the son's knightly name; Arms, and the charger fiery were his delight, on the day of battle, But the palace of his King delighted his youth, In manhood Scotland and the realms of France Felt his generosity in war; to both he was a terror; His neighbour's quarrels and disputes he settled all, At home he was a man of peace, Nor did he make unfitting nuptial for himself, The daughter of a knight he wedded of equal lineage, Who bore two children, of whom a daughter (age 47) lives, The son before his father sought the realms above; After his son's death, he gives many lands to his nephew And makes him the heir of this very place - Rowland Lacon who laid his lifeless body in a tomb But his spirit the realms above hold. This Lacon an Esquire in filial memory of love This record raised. His nephew and his heir

CHRIST S LIFE'S AIM.

Be near good Christ to England, To Prince, to Nobles, And to all other Inhabitants; Good Christ, I pray grant Peace - For by this the life of men is quiet - By this, their journey safe And all good things do multiply. By strife, what has been gotten By great labor, melts away, So to Thine own give everlasting peace - May virtue which is learning's light, Be given too, and blessings come - Far off be what, At any time may hurt.

Constance Talbot: Around 1517 she was born to John Talbot of Albrighton and Margaret Troutbeck On 30 Mar 1533 George Blount and she were married. Around 1565 Constance Talbot died.
