Notes for Frances REEVE
"In the chancel of the church at Chiddingstone the is a very fine freestone altar tomb, faced and topped with black marble, and a long Latin inscription to her memory:-

...Viris duobus juncta, Thomae Streatfeild prius Deinde Johanni Seyliard, utrisq bonos Natalis sortitis et honestas familias Ambob' chara pariter et faecunda fuit ....

Facing the Nave are three achievements of arms: the first Streatfeild impaling Reeve; the second Seyliard impaling Reeve; the third Seyliard and 8 quarterings. The last letters on the monument are indistinct; but the arms are beautifully clear, having been repainted by the daughter of Harriet Streatfeild in 1816. The grandaughter of John and Francis Seyliard married Thomas Woodgate, her name was Susanna. He died young in 1706, and an inscribed stone near the altar rail marks the spot. "
