Notes

  • Classification: Architecture > Tombs and Monuments, Identified
  • Notes added by Commons: Depicts three tombs in a vertical arrangement. The inscription in the upper-right describes the top tomb: "This faire monument of gray marble standing in the midst of the Church, whereon there is neither Armes nor Epitaph, was made for Sr Rob Throkmorton knt [Sir Robert Throckmorton] who dyed in his pilgrimage to the holy land." Two inscriptions describe tomb locations: between the top and middle tombs an inscription reads "Betwixt two pillars on the North side of the Chancell", and near the bottom tomb an inscription reads: "On the south side of the Chancell betwixt two pillars". Between the middle and bottom tombs an inscription (probably referring to the middle tomb) reads: "Of your Charite, praye for the soule of Syr George Throkmerton [Sir George Throkmorton] Knyght and dame Katheryn hys Wyfe one of the daughters of Syr Nycholas Vause [Sir Nicholas Vause] Knyght lord harroden, Whyche Syr George decessyd the ___ day of ____ in the yere of the incarnation of oure lord god a MCCCC_____ and dame Katheryn died the ____ day of ____ ao Moo ______ on Whole Soules Thee have mercy amen". In lower left an inscription reads "W. Hollar fecit". According to Pennington,[1] the middle tomb depicts "a man in armour and his wife, with their children at their feet" and the bottom tomb "has the Throckmorton arms on the side." A single solid line borders the work.

The author died in 1677, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
