Above: St. Eadburgha's Church, Ebrington.
And the Coat of Arms of William Keyt, the 2nd Baronet, and Elizabeth Coventry, his wife, in a small window at the side of the nave of St. Eadburgha's Church.
To the right: Keyt memorial which is erected at the side of the alter in St.Eadburgha's Church. The inscription of the marble slab says:-
To the Eternal memory of William Keyt Esquire, who is laid beneath this Monument Stone; Until at the bidding of our Lord, the Loud Clangour of the Last Trumpet, shall call him forth, to Exchange the Corruptible for the Incorruptible as is his just reward. He was Sheriff of the County of Worcester, and his Family has Dwelt in this Place for about 300 years. By his First Wife, Eglantine (nee Riley) He had two Sons; John and William: and two daughters; Ann & Elizabeth He gave to the poor of Ebrington the Milk of Ten Good Milche Kine, to be distributed from the tenth day of May, to the First of November, in Perpituity, which gift is not to be altered or Diminished. He met his fate of all that is Mortal, with a Good Composure, upon the Ides of October, in the 1632 year after Incarnation, in the 78th year of His Age. His Son John, in Filial Piety, has Erected this Memory.
("His son John", who had this memorial erected, became the first Keyt Baronet in 1660, and as can be seen, the memorial shows his original coat-of-arms).
Bottom Right: The Keyt memorial at the side of the nave in St. Eadburgha's. The inscription is in Latin and I don't have an actual translation I'm afraid. The memorial is dedicated to Sir John Keyt, the 1st Baronet, and his wife Margaret Taylor, and it is their busts that can be seen on top of the memorial. The inscription mentions their sons John, Thomas, and Francis, and their daughters Elizabeth and Margaret. There is no mention of their first son William who became the 2nd Baronet, maybe because it was him who had the memorial erected!
