The Manor of Alderton 3 rd edition
Fig. 27 Descendants of Charles and Lydia *
Charles and Lydia’s first son was commemorated in St Giles by a small
freestone figure of a kneeling child with the following inscription:
Here lies the body of Charles Gore, eldest sonne of Charles
Gore, Esqr. who dyed the 3d day of Sept. 1628
“Hic jacet ingenii splendor, pietatis amator
Vita morte, pius, cum tamen ipse Puer! 228 ”
This figure may have been made from stone quarried on the estate as Aubrey
records that
In Alderton-field is a freestone quarrie, discovered a little
before the civill-warres broke forth 229

p49
It is possible that Jackson was working from another source, but Phillip’s Inscriptions
records different text (Sherlock, P (2000) (ed) Monumental Inscriptions of
Wiltshire : an edition, in facsimile, of Monumental Inscriptions in Wiltshire by
Sir Thomas Phillipps, 1832 WRS vol 57 p47)
On a monument in the Chancel
Here under resteth the Body of Charles Gore, Sonne and Heire of Charles Gore, Esq.
Who cheerfully surrended His soule into the Handes of his Redeemer, September 3,
An o Dom 1628, Aetatis suae 16
which would seem to indicate that he was born after September 1622
