About 31/2 miles from Exeter, close to the village of Exminister stands an old church in which a monument lisa this inscrip-tion: “This moumnent is erected to the memory of Grace, wife of William Tothill of the Middle Temple, Esq., who had Issue Henry, and died the 24th of Feb., 1023, in the 18th year of her age, and both buried In this aisle.

If goodness coulde thee here have kept, Or team of friends which for thee wept; Then had ‘at thou lived amongst us here, To whom thy virtues made thee dear; flut thou a Sainte did’st Heaven aspire, Whilst here on earth wee thee sdm re; Then rest deere corps In mantle claye Till Christ thee raise the latter dave; Thy years were few, thy glass being run, When death did cede thy life hegunn.” Under the effigy whIch Is reclined as a pedestal: . “Speake Stanie, tell her story, Its grace Inherits glory.” George Tothill, p rob, descended from Jeffery, was Bailiff 1662, again in 1664, Lord Mayor of Exeter 1 668, again In 1677. By mandate of the King made Alderman of Exeter 1687; next year W illiam, Prince of Orange, landed at Torbay and advanced with his small army towards Exeter, The Prince had been Informed that the .people stood ready to redeive hIm with acclamationa of joy and that all the gentry of the west would join hIm at hIs landing. But the cruel disposition of the King James. and the recent atrocities of Kirk and Jeff reys, had filled tlte minds of the nobility and gentry with dread of the awful consequences of failure. One of the officer~ ot . the Prince who preceded with a few liorsenien was put under arrest and confined by the authorities of Exeter, The next day Lord Mordaunt and Dr. Burnet, afterwards Bishop of Salisbury, arrived with four troope of horse and found the gate shut against them. The Lord Mayor assigned as a reason the obligation of his oath to the King. Lord Mordaunt ordered the Porter to open the gate on pain of death, and upon his refusal, says Jenkins in his Hit of EyeLet., “George Tuthill, Esq., one of the Aldermen, opened it and atimitted the troops.” For several days scarcely any person of note came in, Of the magistrates of Exeter only Alderman Tuthill and one other at first declared in his favor. This appeared so unfavorable to the Prince had lie began to doubt the success of his expedition and at one time proposed to reembark for Holland. But the spirit and firmness of Alderman Tuthill seem to have Inspired the gentlemen of Devon and Somerset with courage for they soon began to come forivard In great ntinibers and the revolution became an accom-plished fact. Subsequently being largely engaged in mercantile business he met with very heavy losses at sea and became much reduced in circtimstances, whIch coming to the knowledge of King William he gratefully awarded him a pension of £200 per annum.
