Bess of Hardwick died at 5 pm on Saturday 13 February 1608, aged c.87. At the time of her death she remained "one of the richest, and most powerful women in the kingdom".[1] On 16 February her body was placed in a vault in All Saints Church, Derby, then the parish church of that city (demolished 1723 and rebuilt, since 1927 Derby Cathedral), under an elaborate monument with a laudatory inscription which she took care to put up in her lifetime.[2] The monument with effigy survives, having been saved from the former demolished building.[citation needed] Stories of her body lying in state for weeks in the Great Chamber at Hardwick are mythical.[3] Her accumulated estates were left to her children from her second marriage.[2]
