This week the Church Explorer returns to St Nicholas Rotherfield Greys to visit the Knollys Chapel. This has been something I have been wanting to do for a while and finally managed to arrange a visit. I was trying to uses a selfie sick in some of the photos which might look a bit odd.
Sorry the blog is late but I went to get a couple more photos today
First view of the tomb inside the chapel
The seven daughters
The first is Lettice she was a countess married to the Earl of Essex. Behind is Mary the Maud then Elizabeth
Anne in front then Catherine the last does not have a name listed
The infant who died is Dudley
Best I can get of the monument on the south side
The seven sons
Henry at the front with William behind
William again, Edward, Robert on the end is Richard
Francis and Thomas
Another view of Katherine and Sir Francis
Looking down on the face if Sir Francis
And his wife Katherine
The west end of the monument
The swan at her feet
And the elephant at the end of Sir Frances
Coat of arms on the tomb
I was trying to get top of the top but ended with this view looking down on the couple
East end of the monumet
I cannot read Latin but this is the inscription below their heads
Head end of the tomb
Some more elaborate
The words on the inscriptions are fading
Memorial to Sir George Earnest James Wright
Brass memorials
Words very faded on this one
Stapleton Memorial
Stained glass in the window
These are on the east and west side of the chapel
Looking up inside he canopy
On both sides
Winged cherub
Lady Katherine
I did think this was older but is from 1880
The floor tiles I am sure are Tudor
The swan and elephant at the feet
And coat of arms below
