Mediaeval Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire

Just back from a trip to Notts and Lincs.

Inter alia, I visited Southwell Minster - a lovely building but not
much in the way of remaining mediaeval monuments, which is surprising
given its long history. I have photographs of the effigy tomb of
Edwin Sandys, Bishop of London and Archbishop of York (died 1388).

I also called in to see the 'Boston Stump' aka St Botolph's church,
whose massive tower stand more than two hundred and fifty feet above
the churchyard and River Haven. Although relatively few brasses
remain in the many indents which mark the floor, there are two
alabaster monuments in good state of repair: one depicts as unnamed
knight of the Order of St John, and the other is attributed to Lady
Margaret Tilney (ff 1309), whose great-great-great granddaughter
married Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk.

Happy to pass on copies as usual.
