ervation 1t forms point of considerable interest
containing, as II does three memorial brasses on
the gray stone slab put down in memory OF Lau
Washington and his family. These brasses
consist OF Laurence Washingtons ef1gy, shield
bearing the Washington arms, and the following
inscription
Here lyeth buried ye bodys of Laurence Wash
ingto Gent G. Anne his wyf by whom he had
issue iii sons and il daughs wo laurence Dyed ye

ceased the VI of October ano Dni 1864"
Apparently Laurence Washington, great-great-
great-grandfather of George Washington, devised
this monument a memorial to his wife, leav-
ing the date of his own death blank to be filed
in after his death. This, however, has never been
done.
Two other records of the Washingtons are
found in the village of Brington. In this little
township, not far distant from Northampton,
stands the house to which the family moved from
Sulgrave. 1t in this house that Robert Wash.
ington died in 1922. and in the yard. engraved
upon a sundal, is found the Washington coat of
arms
In the Church of All Saints near at hand, where
Robert Washington is buried an Inscription reads
as follows:
Here lies inferred We bodies of Elijah Wash
ington wdowe, who changed this life for immor'
talite ye 10Th day of March. 1922. AS also ye
body of Robert Washington, Gent. her late hus-
grave in ye County of North Esqr., who depted
this life ye 10th of March, 1922 after they lived
lovingly together"
Laurence Washington, grandson OF the Lau-
renee Of Sulgrave died in 1916, and is also buried
here.
Unfortunately little of the village of Sulgravo
as it was in the days of the Washingtons now re-
mains. disastrous fire in 1875 swept the vii.
lage and only relic may be seen here and there
in an ancient house. Most of the streets are set
with neat brick houses. Coming toward the
Church of All Saints, might fancy oneself in
the business center of some minor New England
city, but with rather less of glare and noise, and
the community held in a certain allegiance by the
presence of the old church.
In dedicatng the manor as a memorial to the
peaceful relations existing between the two great
Engsh-speaking nations during century. the
British committee has created permanent me-
