Circa A.D. 1620. NICHOLAS POULETT, AND FAMILY. MINETY. The eastern portion of the north aisle is here divided from the rest of the church by a screen of carved oak, which seems once to have enclosed a chantry altar. The Poulett brass is affixed to the north wall of the aisle within the screen. In the centre of the plate (which is about 19 inches in width and 12 in height) are the kneeling effigies of Nicholas Poulett and his wife Mary, daughter of Thomas Hungerford, of the Lea. Behind the former is an only son, “ Ames PouLETT ;” and, in the rear of their mother, are three daughters, “ ELIZABETH,” “ Mary,” and “EDIGHT."

Nicholas Poulett, of Minety, was a second son of Sir Hugh Poulett, of Hinton St. George, co. Somerset,' and brother of Sir Amias, of Hinton, privy councillor to Queen Elizabeth. The second daughter, Mary, was afterwards married to Henry Long, of Ashley, Wilts.
