English: Here lyeth the body of Thomas Lord Wyndham of Finglass, in the kingdom of Ireland, youngest son of John Wyndham, of Norrington in this county Esq. He was educated in the school of the canons of this Close, from whence he went in 1698 to Wadham College, in the University of Oxford; he removed from thence to Lincoln's Inn in 1701, and was there called to the degree of barrister at law in 1705. In the year 1724 his Majesty King George the First was pleased to appoint him Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland, where he sat two years. In December 1726 he was advanced to the office of Lord High Chancellor of Ireland, and constituted one of the Lords Justices of that kingdom, into which last office he was sworn eight several times. On the demise of King George the First, his Majesty King George Second renewed his commission as Lord High Chancellor, and in Sept. 1731, in consideration of his diligent and faithful services, was pleased to create him a Baron of the Kingdom of Ireland. He presided in six sessions of Parliament, as Speaker of the House of Lords of Ireland, where there is a session but once in two years. In April 1739 he sat as Lord High Steward of Ireland, on the trial of Lord Barry of Santry, being the first Lord High Steward that ever was appointed in that kingdom. In September 1739 he resigned his office at his own request, on account of an ill state of health, contracted by a too intent and too long application to a great variety of business he had been engaged in. He was a member of the established Church, a strenuous asserter of lawful liberty, a zealous promoter of justice, a dutiful subject, and a kind relation. He was born on the 27 Dec. 1681; he died on the 24 Nov. 1745.
