[28] In the parish church of St Chad, Rochdale, is a marble tablet,
erected by John Entwisle, Esquire, a descendant of Sir Bertine, on which
is the following inscription:--
"To perpetuate a memorial in the church of St Alban's (perished by
time), this marble is here placed to the memory of a gallant and loyal
man, Sir Bertine Entwisel, Knight, Viscount and Baron of Brybeke, in
Normandy, and some time Bailiff of Constantin, in which office he
succeeded his father-in-law, Sir John Ashton, whose daughter Lucy first
married Sir Richard le Byron, an ancestor of the Lord Byrons, Barons of
Rochdale, and, secondly, Sir Bertine Entwisel, who, after performing
repeated acts of valour in the service of his sovereigns, Henry V. and
VI., more particularly at Agincourt, was killed in the first battle of
St Alban's, and on his tomb was recorded in brass the following
inscription:--
"'Here lyth Syr Bertine Entwisel, Knighte, which was born in
Lancastershyre, and was Viscount and Baron of Brybeke in Normandy, and
Bailiff of Constantin, who died fighting on King Henry VI. party, 28th
May, 1455.
"'_On whose sowl Jesu have mercy!_'"
