Enfants et les Monuments, entre la fin du Moyen Âge et la début du 17ème siècle

Monuments or memorials to children in English churches were extremely rare until the late 18th and early 19th century. In the 16th century one can find the occassional child tomb amongst the aristocracy, such as that of the The Noble Impe at St Mary's Warwick, but otherwise children rarely appear to have warranted memorials in their own right.

Francis Tanfield and His Family

Francis Tanfield and His Family

Francis Tanfield was a member of a gentry family long settled at Gayton, Northamptonshire. The Tanfields held land in the county from at least the 14th century, and like many such families, maintained their position through estate management and service in local administration. Francis died in 1558, and his monument in St Mary’s Church was probably commissioned by his widow soon afterwards.

Great Malvern Priory

Great Malvern Priory

Great Malvern Priory is a former Benedictine priory church whose architecture, stained glass, and monuments preserve a long and complex record of religious life from the Norman period to the present. Founded in the later eleventh century as a dependent cell of Worcester Cathedral Priory, the site occupies a position of early importance within the Norman monastic expansion in western England.
