Cavendish," was buried, January 20th. He was a Knight of the Bath, though not quite eleven years of age when he died. In the south transept of Chesham church there is a monument to his memory, with a laudatory inscription, which describes him as son of the Earl of Devonshire. His father, however, did not receive this title until 1618."
