Inside, I was pleased to be allowed to take photographs:-
There is a fine tomb to Lord Wyndham by Michael Rysbrack:-
A monument to Edward Wyndham Tennant, known as Bim, killed in the battle of the Somme, done by Allan Wyon:-
The Morning Chapel has what was the original screen until it was moved in 1789. It has the remains of colouring on the carvings:-
And the alabaster tomb of Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, is spectacular, done apparently by William Wright in 1675. Was it done in a deliberately archaic style, more than fifty years after his death ?
Great pix…. The obelisk-enriched tomb of the norty Edward Seymour, Lord Hertford, can no more be second half of the seventeenth century than the two figures on the facade with doctors’ hats can be anything other than second half of the nineteenth. The latter represent the Medici saints Cosmas and Damian and are indeed by James Redfern (1838–1876).
Dear Edward, Yes, that’s what I thought, but it’s what it says in the guidebook and in the label on the tomb, but appears with no date except that of his death (1621) in Pevsner. Charles
