| Beneath are deposited the remains of Sir WILLIAM STRICKLAND, Baronet. During a short but active life, he represented the City of Carlisle, in the first parliament of King George the First and the borough of Scarborough, in the first and second parliaments of George the Second. He executed the office of one of the Lords of the Treasury in the reign of George the First, of Treasurer of the Household, to Her Majesty Queen Caroline and Secretary at War in the reign of George the Second, which last office he held from the year 1730 to the beginning of the year 1735. When being obliged to relinquish it on account of ill health, he retired to Boynton and died there, on the first day of September in the same year and in the forty ninth of his age. He married CATHERINE, daughter of Sir JEREMY SAMBROOKE, of Gubbins in Hertfordshire, Knight, who died on the ninth day of February 1767. By her he had two children, GEORGE, who succeeded him and who erects this monument to the memory of his respected father and CATHERINE, who married JOHN FREEMAN of Chute Lodge in Wiltshire, Esquire. |  |
