Deathedit
Soame died on board a ship at Torbay on 8 Sept. 1706, aged 37. Laurence Hyde, 1st Earl of Rochester wrote to Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer, ‘I am very much concerned for the death of Colonel Soame, both on your account, and the interest I had myself in him’. The monument erected in West Dereham parish church noted that he had ‘dedicated the revenues of a plentiful estate’ to serving his country, and had proved himself ‘to be as true and brave a patriot in the senate house, as he was a brave and honourable commander in the field’.[4]
