Page 44. The church of Tenby is a large, handsome, and antique edifice, and several monuments, bearing an ancient date, worthy of notice.
On the left of the altar, is one to William Rifam, with the following inscription:
Two hundred pounds and 50 more He gave this towne to help the poore.
The use of one on cloth and coles bestowe For twelve decrepid mean and lowe.
Let 50 pounds to five be yearly lent The other’s use on Burges’ sonne’s be spent.
On the same side, is a monument to the memory of John Moore, Esq. who, at the age of fifty-eight, and having by his first wife six sons and ten daughters, fell desperately in love, which not being returned, he died of a consumption, at Tenby: the following epitaph is very allusive to his unfortunate catastrophe:
He that from home for love was hither brought, Is now brought home, this God for him hath wrought.
Another monument to Morgan Williams:
Igne probatur En animus rurfus clare in corpore Morgan Williams descended from the heiress of Robert Ferrar, Bishop of St. Davids Burnt alive by bigots under Q. Mary; was lately chief of Gargam and senior in council at Madras. Where Oct. 27, 1690, aged 49 years He resign’d the President’s chair and his breath together. An employment of full 30 years chronicles the continual approbation of his conduct particularly as chief commissioner of the circuit.
