Hourglasses on the monument to Sir James Harrington and his wife in St Peter & St Paul's church, Exton.
"The monument to Sir James Harington (d. 1591) and his wife Lucy Sydney stands against the north wall of the chancel and is of coloured marble with alabaster figures kneeling before a faldstool, in separate round arched recesses; over the figures are respectively the arms of Harington and Sydney, and the entablature, which is supported by black marble columns, is surmounted by tall obelisks, flanking a large strapwork armorial panel. A long Latin inscription occupies two panels in the base.
Sir James had eighteen children, 'of whom three sons and eight daughters entered into marriage.'"
