Inscription on the tomb of William Burgoin who died August 12th, 1623:- 'Here lies Will. Burgoin, a squire by descent,/ whose death in this world many people lament,/ the rich for his love; the poor for his almes;/ the wise for his knowledge; the sick for his balmes. / grace he did love, and vice controul: earth hath his body, and heaven his soul' (Fuller 1811). Prince's version of the inscription is slightly different. See Fuller's 'Worthies' and Prince's 'Worthies of Devon'.
