"Among the illustrious families which this town [Penrith] hath produced I shall only select one, as the rest will be mentioned in other places; I mean the Huttons of Hutton-Hall. An honourable record of this family appears on a brass plate which was in the old church."
""Here lyeth Mary, daughter of Thomas Wilson Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth, who was first married to Robert Burdett of Bramcourt, in the county of Warwick, Esq; by whom she had Sir Thomas Burdett, Bart. and several sons and daughters; and was afterwards married to Sir Christopher Lowther, of Lowther, in the county of Westmorland, Knight. Her daughter Elizabeth Burdett was married to Anthony Hutton of Penrith, in the county of Cumberland, Esq; with whom she lived and died the last day of May, Anno Domini 1622." This old lady did not live in the same house with her daughter, but in an house (at her desire) called Bramcourt, or, as commonly pronounced, Bramercourt."
"On the North side of the chancel was the following inscription on a neat monument."
""Here lies interred Anthony Hutton, Esquire, who was a grave, faithful, and judicious Councellor at Law, and one of the masters of the High Court of Chancery; son and heir to that renowned knight Sir William Hutton of Penrith, and was matched into the noble family of Sir Thomas Burdett of Bramcourt, in the county of Warwick, Baronet, by the marriage of his virtuous sister Elizabeth Burdett; whose pious care and religious bounty hath erected this marble tomb, to perpetuate the memory of so worthy a commonwealth-man, and so dear an husband, who died the 10th of July 1637.""
