<\/a>Hertford Tomb<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Katherine Grey died in 1568 and was buried in Suffolk. Her husband, the Earl of Hertford, Edward Seymour died in 1621 and Leanda de Lisle writes that;<\/p>\n
\u2018William, as his only surviving male heir, inherited the title and promptly had his grandmother, Katherine Grey, disinterred from her grave in Yoxford, Suffolk, and brought to Salisbury Cathedral to be buried with her husband. Their magnificent tomb still stands in the easterly corner of the south choir aisle. The long-legged and refined figure of Hertford lies on his sarcophagus with Katherine above him, as a mark of her royal status. The inscription, in Latin, celebrates the lovers, reunited at last:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Incomparable Consorts
\nWho, experienced in the vicissitudes of changing fortune
\nAt length, in the concord which marked their lives,
\nHere rest together.’ (3)<\/p>\n

<\/a>Tomb Inscription<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The guide book says the following about the tomb:<\/p>\n
\u2018The very large decorative marble tomb is the Hertford tomb. You will notice that unusually Lady Catherine Grey is positioned higher than her husband, Edward Seymour, because of her family status. Lady Catherine\u2019s sister, Lady Jane Grey, was proclaimed Queen of England for nine days before being executed in 1554, aged 17.\u2019 (4)<\/p>\n
