In a Vault in the middle aisle of this Church are deposited the remains of Captain John HARVEY, late Commander of His Majesty’s Ship the Brunswick, who, after gloriously supporting the honor of the British Navy, on the memorable first of June MDCCXCIV, under Earl Howe, died at Portsmouth on the 30th of the same month, in consequence of the wounds he received in the engagement, aged 53 years. The House of Commons to perpetuate his most gallant conduct, on that day of victory unanimously voted a monument to his memory in Westminster Abbey.
