I. Observation on the Time of the Death and Place of Burial of Queen Katharine Parr. By the Rev. Treadway Nash, D.D. F.A.S.

Extract

As it is the plan of the Society of Antiquaries to give attention to discoveries however trifling, which may tend to illustrate any point of English history, I now take the liberty of laying before them some circumstances which clearly ascertain the time of the deaths and burying place of Katharine Parr, sixth and last wife of Henry the Eighth. If no account of this discovery hath by any one been laid before the Society, I wish this to be read, as George Ballard the industrious Antiquary of Cambden, a town about ten miles from Sudley, says, the particulars of the death and burial of this lady are desiderata, and his ignorance, of it appears the more extraordinary, as his business of a stay-maker must often have led him into those parts.
