It is unknown what connection, if any, the Cogswells of We.'^tbury may
have had with a certain Richard Cogwell who died June 12, 1534. to whose
memory was erected in Faversham Church a large stone, in which was set a
brass plate, still in a good state of preservation, on which were engraved the
following quaint lines :
" Slboso bim btl^oft iiifaarlli; aub oft,
ifiott! barb it totrt to flttt from btb unto tbt pitt,
^rom pitt nnto (lagnt tlnit nt'tr Bhall ttaat, certagnf,
