Memorial Inscription, Haseley Church, Warwickshire

From the Haseley Parish Registers:

Nevill his wife, the first and eldest Daughter of Edward Nevill
Knight; of whom he begat six sons and seven daughters.
He departed this world, the Sunday being the 15 of December

Research Notes

The parish registers for Haseley have a transcription of the text of the memorial brass for Clement Throckmorton and Katharine Nevill, which gives his death as 15 December 1573, whilst the drawing by Wenceslaus Hollar appears to show the 14 December. Hollar is probably the accurate one. I've done a quick search for photographs online, but all the ones I can find have clipped the bottom part of the description from the image, so until a photographic image is provided, we can't say with absolute certainty which is correct.
