_Burial in an erect Posture_ (Vol. viii., p. 59.).--
"Pass, pass, who will yon chantry door,
And through the chink in the fractured floor
Look down, and see a grisly sight,
A vault where the bodies are buried upright;
There face to face and hand lay hand
The Claphams and Mauleverers stand."
Wordsworth, _White Doe of Rylstone_, Canto I.,
p. 5., line 17., new edition, 1837.
See note on line 17 taken from Whitaker's _Craven_:
"At the east end of the north aisle of Bolton Priory Church is a
chantry belonging to Bethmesley Hall, and a vault where, according to
tradition, the Claphams were buried upright."
