English: Mural monument to Sir John Stawell (1625-1669), Bovey Tracey Church, Devon. Inscribed in Latin as follows:
This William Stawell (c.1651-1702), of Parke, Bovey Tracey, was a nine-times a Member of Parliament for Ashburton. (History of Parliament biography of "STAWELL, William (c.1651-1702), of Parke, Bovey Tracey, Devon"[1]). The senior line of the Stawell family was seated at Cothelstone in Somerset and another branch was seated at Sutcombe and Wike Stowell, Devon. Sir John Stawell of Parke purchased Torre Abbey in Devon and was the owner in 1661 as the engraving of that date by Wenceslaus Hollar confirms in a dedicatory canton. He founded the "Stawell Gift", comprising £10 per annum to be spent on linen cloth for fifty poor people in the parish chosen by the trustees and distributed on Christmas Day after the morning service.

James Forbes – their arms are shown as corbels on the ends of the arch around the doorway (Source: PPT – ‘Statement of Significance’, p.4 |
