Monuments

NOTES: This monument, one of a series dedicated to the Fettiplaces in the church, was erected by Sir Edmund (d.1613) and includes reclining effigies of himself on the top tier, and his father and grandfather below.

NOTES: The Beauchamp Chapel was begun in 1443, completed in 1464 and consecrated in 1475.

NOTES: This Gothick style church was built in 1763 for the 6th Earl of Coventry who filled it with a collection of family monuments. The design of the exterior is attributed to Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and the interior to Robert Adam. The church, now redundant, forms part of the Croome Park National Trust Estate.

NOTES: Hester Salusbury was reputedly killed by a stag while hunting in Stansted Park in 1614 and this memorial to her was commissioned by her father, Thomas Middleton of Stansted Hall (d.1631).

NOTES: The church was founded by the Knights Templar in the reign of Henry II upon the model of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem. The Transitional style church was consecrated in 1185 by Heraclius, Patriarch of Jerusalem. The church and most of the Temple enclave was severely damaged by incendiary bombs during the Blitz of 1941. However, the walls were left intact and enough fragments remained for the church to be restored in complete Early Gothic style after World War II. The nave and choir was rededicated in 1954, and the Round, the original nave, in 1958.
