Cecil monuments at Stamford (ping Will Johnson)

Legg inn av Gjest » 23 aug 2007 19:34:03

I also visited the four ancient churches at Stamford this afternoon,
just over the border in Lincolnshire.

The finest of these is probably St Martin's, with its Cecil chapel and
numerous monuments to the Cecil family.

These include the wall-monument to Richard Cecil (died 1552/3) and his
wife Jane Heckington (d 1587/8), which contains effigies of the couple
and of their three daughters (Elizabeth, married to Robert Wingfield
and then Hugh Alington; Margaret, married to Roger Cave and then
Ambrose [sic] Smith; and Anne, wife of Thomas Whyte).

Between the chapel and the chancel stands the enormous effigy-tomb of
William Cecil, 1st Lord Burghley (d 1598) in his Garter robes and
holding his wand of office.

I also saw the Brown brasses in All Saints church; they date from the
latter part of the 15th century, and commemorate a local mercantile
family.

Again, happy to pass on photos to anyone interested.

Cheers, Michael

You know I'd be interested in seeing the verbage on this monument. I've always wondered whether Peter Fainweather (d 2006) correctly copied the entire verbage as he pointedly perhaps, left off Anne (Cecil) White.

Since the monument, if it does mention her, would be one of the *sole* primary documents to do so, its very important to see what it actually states re her.

It does indeed mention her:

"Anne marryed to Thomas Whyte of Tvxford Esqr of whom is discended
Iohn Whyte Esqvier"

I took separate shots of each part of the monumental texts, and will
send them to you as soon as I have the photos sorted out.

Cheers, Michael
