Edward Peyto

[1][2] Peyto commissioned Nicholas Stone to make a monument for his parents in 1639.

He displayed a flag with a device of a Bible and shroud or winding sheet to discourage the besiegers.

According to the Latin inscription on the tomb, Peyto was a man of letters who excelled at mathematics.

The marriage was commemorated with heraldic stained-glass at St Luke's Church, Charlton.

Newton's former colleague and executor, the architect David Cunningham of Auchenharvie took an interest in their business affairs.
