Throughout the Commonwealth the heroine of Corfe Castle lived peacefully, and did not die until Charles II. had been upon the throne nearly a year. She died on April 11, 1661, and in Ruislip Church, Middlesex, there is a monument, erected to her memory by her son, Sir Ralph Bankes, on which is inscribed a record of her brave defence.
To their delight they found in the shrubberies, now a wilderness of laurel and rhododendron, a tower what our forefathers called a "Gazebo," and their neighbours a "Folly." The top of it commanded a wide, unbroken view "Of all the lowland western lea, The Uxbridge flats and meadows, To where the Ruislip waters see The Oxhey lights and shadows." "There's the Spire," said John.
