all about me - Clyst St George, Devon

            Brass figures of a kneeling woman with coat of arms on the north aisle wall which survived the 1940 bombing which destroyed the church.
"To the memorie of Julian Osborne, who deceased ye 18th of August Ao 1614
Bonifant a Virgin, Osborne a loyall wife for thirty yeares;  
A widdow for fourty & more
A hunndred yeares almoste she lead her life
Kinde to the riche & good to all the poore.
Here lyes her dust, whose soules to heaven gone
Since she did live and dye a saint lyke one"

Sadly this does not tell us who her parents were,  who her husband was & if she had children. 

(There were numerous memorials to the Osborne family in the north aisle, possibly her descendants ;
"Here lyeth the body of Margaret Osborne, the daughter of Richard Osborne of this parish, gent, who dyed the 29th day of November Anno Dmi 1633 aged 14"
"Here lyeth the body of Mrs Johan Osborne of this pish, widdow, who died ye 27th day of Februaary Ano Dmi 1614"
"Ester daughter of Richard Osborne who died ye 25 of November 1635"
"Here lyeth the body of JULIAN Osborne, daughter of Richard Osborne of this parish, gent, who died ye last day of January Ano D 1635"
"Joan Osborne, widow, died February 27 1614"
"Margaret daughter of Richard Osborne, died Nov 29 1633 aged 14"
"Edith daughter of Ric Osborne died Nov 26 1635"
Dorothy the wife of Ric Bevis, daughter of Edw Osborne, died March 16 1612"

(A Richard Osborne is recorded dying in 1706 who was once commemorated with a marble bust showing him in cravat & wig of Queen Anne's time, now now more  )
