English Cavalier poet Richard Lovelace, serving in the Bishops' Wars in Scotland, writes "To Lucasta, Going to the Warres" (published 1649) and the unperformed tragedy The Soldier (lost).
Returning to England before long, he enlisted as an ensign in the army raised (1639) by Charles I for the Bishops' War, and during this campaign made acquaintance with the cavalier poet Richard Lovelace.
Other worthies buried in the pre-Fire church were William Oldhall (d.1459) Speaker of the House of Commons, Lord Mayors John Yonge (d.1466) and William Bayley (d.1524), Peter Blundell (d.1601) founder of Blundell's School, (mentioned in the novel Lorna Doone) and the Cavalier poet John Cleveland (d.1658).
