Summary[edit]

Description
English: Effigy of Sir Giles Strangways (1486-1546), Melbury Sampford Church (Chapel of St Mary), Dorset. Effigy in Alabaster, canopy in Purbeck marble. Sir Henry Strangways (c.1465-1504) (father of Sir Giles Strangways (1486-1546)) acquired the manor by his second marriage to the widow of William Brouning/Browning of Melbury. Giles Strangways’s grandfather was the first of the family to settle in Dorset, having been persuaded to leave Yorkshire by Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset. (http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1509-1558/member/strangways-sir-giles-i-1486-1546#footnote8_rohmb6j) The Strangways of Yorkshire were seated at Castle Harlsey. Latin inscription on a brass fillet on the top edge of the base:
Hic jacent Egidius Strangewaies miles filius et heres Henrici Strangewaies armigeri et Dorothae uxoris suae filiae Johannis Arundel militis. Nec non Johanna uxor predict(i) Egid(ii) et filia Johannis Mordant militis. Egidius obiit die 11 Decembris 1547 cuius a(n)i(ma)e p(ro)pici(e)tur D(omin)o Amen.

Which may be translated as: ("Here lie Giles Strangeways, Knight, the son and heir of Henry Strangeways, Esquire, and of Dorothy his wife, the daughter of John Arundel, Knight; and also Johanna, the wife of the foresaid Giles, and daughter of John Mordaunt, Knight. Giles died on the 11th of December 1547. Of the soul of whom may it be looked upon with favour by God Amen").
