Summary edit

Description

Ledger stone of Sir Amyas Pollard (1616-1701), 3rd Baronet, before the altar in Abbots Bickington Church, Devon. Inscribed as follows: "To the memory of Sr. Ames Pollard, Barron(e)t, who departed this life June the 5th 1701 and was here interr'd the 7th of the same in ye 85th year of his age". Below is an heraldic achievement of Pollard showing an escutcheon of the Pollard arms: Quarterly 1st & 4th, a chevron between three escallops; 2nd & 3rd: a chevron between three mullets; overall the Red Hand of Ulster. Above the escutcheon is the crest of Pollard: A leopard's head and neck erased. Beneath is the following verse:
"If birth & parentage be an ornament,
His may be rank'd w(i)th those of best descent,
If constant stedfast loyallty be a praise,
His was unshaken in the worst of dayes,
Who durst the King & royall cause still own,
In times when doing it was so dangerous known,
If love to friends to neighb(ou)rs & to peace,
When constituted justice may increase,
And raise his charact(e)r all this lets us see,

How much we lost in being depriv'd of thee.
