Summary
[edit]DescriptionPrior Wymbush tomb - geograph.org.uk - 494164.jpg |
English: Prior Wymbish of Nocton Priory, Lincolnshire, died in 1478, his tomb has a prominent position in the Angel Choir. The wills of Nicholas and Robert Wymbush show them to be connected to the prominent gentry Wymbush/Wymbish family of Nocton Lincolnshire (A Brotherhood of Canons Serving God: English Secular Cathedrals in the Later ...By David Lepine, p.50, note 24[1]). Thomas Wymbish was Sheriff of Lincolnshire and Mayor of Lincoln. He was a wealthy man, as by his will he left Nocton to his oldest son, Blankney to his second son, and Metheringham to his third son.
Thomas Wymbish was succeeded by his great grandson, young Thomas Wymbish at the age of nine years, in 1530. While still under age he married Elizabeth Lady Tailboys of Kyme, a baroness in her own right, and a great heiress. On Thursday October 13th 1541, these young people were honoured by a visit from King Henry VIII and his fifth Queen, Katherine Howard who stayed the night at Nocton. Young Thomas had a short life and a merry one and died without issue in 1552. (https://nocton.blogspot.com/2007/01/wymbish.html). Peck (Peck's Desiderata Curiosa, book viii. page 295, ed. 1779.) wrote as follows: “A stately tomb, under which the portraiture of a man, at full length, in a religious habit; his head shaven, and under it an helmet, and thereout issuing a Saracen's head, with a red hat, sharp upward, and the band hanging down behind. It is the Prior of Nocton (Wymbish), once a benefactor to this place.” The head of this statue is now gone. It appears from Vincent's Baronage, p. 166, in the College of Arms, that the Wymbishes first became possessed of Nocton, by the marriage of William Wymbish to Agnes, one of the co-heirs of the Barony of D'Arcy, of Nocton, who was living the 30th Henry VI.
