Winifred Conyers

Monumental Inscription

Near here lies buried all that was mortal of Tristram Conyers, serjeant-at-law, son and heir of William Conyers, serjeant-at-law, by Mary, daughter of Sir Francis Hervey, Justice of the King's Bench, together with Winifred, his dearly beloved wife, daughter of Sir Gilbert Gerard, Bart., of Harrow-on-the-Hill in the county of Middlesex. Tristram was one of the most famous lawyers of his day. Winifred was by nature pious and generous to the poor and was second to none in these virtues. They had a large family : five sons, and six daughters. Of these, three only survive them, John, Gerard, and Mary, who will, sooner or later, follow their beloved parents.

Tristram died on 6th August, 1684, aged 64, and Winifred on 5th April, 1694, aged 69.
