Summary

Description
English: Mural monument in the Upcott Chapel of St Matthew's parish church, Cheriton Fitzpaine, Devon, to Sara Moore (d.1691), wife of John II Moore (1636-1700) of Upcott, Cheriton Fitzpaine. The part of the inscription which recorded her father's name is worn away, but her paternal arms are shown as: Argent, on a bend sable three eaglets displayed of the first (Ernle?). On the same monument on a small panel at the base is inscribed a memorial to her husband John II Moore (1636-1700), whose canting arms are displayed as: Argent, a chevron between three moorcocks sable, with crest: A moorcock sable. Inscription:
Subtus reponuntur mortalitans pulvera(?) Sarae uxoris Johannis Moore de Upcot Armigeri, qua vivente "ευρηκα suum ευρηκα"(?[1]) merito ingeminaverit foelicissimus conjux, qua moriente ille (hoc saltem nomine) foelix esse desiit, illa incepit quippe postquam amantissimam sponsam sponsam obsequentissimam tenerrimam(que) matrem familias cordatissimam lectissimam utrobi(que) faeminam se terris indicasset ex amplexibus sancti amoris maestissimi conjugis rapta fuit ut in sanctiorem Do(min)i sui charissimi Jesu Christi sinum deponeretur Nov(embris) 5o (quinto) aerae Christianiae an(n)o 1691. ("Underneath lie the mortal dust of Sara, wife of John Moore of Upcott, Esquier, who with her living, his Eureka! Eureka!,[2] deservedly became double the happiest husband, with her dying, he (at least in that name) ceased to be happy, she certainly began afterwards the most loving wife the most obedient and tender wife, a mother most prudent, a woman most excellent on both sides... from the embraces of sacred love of her most grieving husband she was seized away so that she might be deposited in the more sacred bosom of her dearest Lord Jesus Christ, on the 5th of November in the year 1691 of the Christian era").

Underneath on a rectangular tablet is inscribed:

Hic juxta reponuntur exuviae Johannis Moore arm(iger)i ju(nior)i(?) postq(ua)m candore niveo probitate eximia ανεξικακια[3] plane heroica generosum stemma adornasset; fato concessit & cum lectissimae conjugis cineribus suos sociavit Ap(rilis) 20o (vicensimo) 1700. ("Near here lie the mortal off-casts of John Moore, Esquire, junior, ... with snowy brightness, with exceptional probity, forbearing, he thoroughly adorned his heroic and noble family tree. He conceded to Fate and allied his own with the ashes of his most excellent wife on 20th of April 1700").
