"Biography

The father of Rev. Joseph Browne, clerk and pastor of the parish of Rusper, and of Rev. Benjamin Browne of the parish of Ifleld, both parishes in co. Sussex, was the Rev. William Browne, who for over fifty years was pastor of the parish church in Horley, co. Surrey, Eng. Queen Mary's death occurred in 1558, and although Mr. Browne's incumbency of the parish dates only from June 26, 1561, under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth, and in the third year of her reign, yet his early years were contemporary with the life and reign of Queen Mary. He died Nov. 14,1615.

In the History of Surrey, by Manning and Bray, three folio volumes, published in London. 1809, is a very full description and history of this old church in Horley, where the aged pastor and his two wives were buried. The first incumbent of this church, Walter de Stoteford, was instituted Jan. 21, 1283.

In vol. 2, p. S02, appears a copy of an inscription in Latin, Including a family chart also in Latin, as it appeared on a Sussex black marble stone against the north wall of the Chancel:
