Sir Bennet Garrard 6th baronet (monument)

In contrast to his brother, the fifth Baronet, Bennet seems to have led a quiet life with being "cheerful in his disposition" his main claim to fame. He had no children and was the last Baronet. The Estate went to the Drake branch of the family, who took the name Garrard.

This is the inscription from the monument to Sir Samuel Garrard, fifth Baronet of Lamer (1692 to 1761). Sir Samuel had an interesting life having served with the Duke of Marlborough. His brother became the sixth and last Baronet Lamer (c. 1704 to 1767). Monuments to all six baronets can be found at St Helen's. I photographed this monument several years ago for a lecture on Lamer.

Interestingly, despite the male effigy, it doesn't appear that her husband is buried here. Note also that the number of years for Isabella is missing. There is gap which appears to have never been completed.
