Wall monument to James Andrewe 1638, aged 34, shown in his study reading his many books
Underneath is the anagram of his name "Reede I was a Man"

" Deo & Posteritati Sacrum / Sub hoc arcu marmor cui tital / ‘Andreas fui’ contegit Jacobum / Andrewe vere Andream / Leicestria oriund Cantabrigiae Artium Magister ingenuus / Probus pius ultra bienium / Conjugatus prolem nom sescepit / Ast natura pie imitatus privignis / Suis aliis que munificentior / Vixit pieque obdormivit / Die 6 Augusti 1604 natus / Die 5 August 1638 obiit. / Haec dilectionis pignora / Ei reponit Margareta Conjux ejus charissima / Laus Deo.
('Sacred to God and Posterity. Beneath this monument is the tomb of James Andrew of Leicester, which bears the inscription This was Andrew. Master of Arts, Cambridge. An honest and faithful husband, he was married for only two years. He was a dutiful stepson and lived generously until he died. Born on August 4, 1604. Died August 5, 1638. This monument was erected by his ever-loving wife Margaret. Praise be to God')

Sadly his floor tomb is now lost.

Cathedral Church of St Martin, Leicester.
