TQ 56 43 BIDBOROUGH HIGH STREET (east side) 11/12 Prendergast and de Roll Chest tombs immediately west of the porch of the Church of St Lawrence GV II Pair of chest tombs. Early C19. Freestone. The northern chest is against the south wall of the church: a rectangular chest with moulded corner pilasters and a coped lid, commemorating Dorathy [sic] Prendergast, died 1821. Immediately south of it a low sarcophagus with a steeply-coped lid commemorates Louis Robert Roll, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, died 1813. Skinner transcribes the long verse on the tomb including: "He stood unchanged at Fortune's bitter frown,/that bore the House of Bourbon down;/He cheered its exile, gained its just applause,/And died at last a martyr to its cause."
