TABLET EXPLAINING MONUMENTS P2 & 32 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small stone tablet by Elmes & Son of Chelsea with a Latin
inscription, translated as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"For many centuries in the village church of Le Rozel from where,
so it is said, the forebears of the Russell family set forth for England
with William, Duke of Normandy, these images (sacred things) stood. Lest
they should perish, when that church became roofless, Herbrand, 11th
Duke of Bedford, afforded them a refuge in this sanctuary in the eight
hundred and thirtieth year after the Conquest of England". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This tablet refers to the images of St. Peter and St. Andrew (see
P2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
P2 & P32 |
ST. PETER & ST. ANDREW |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the East end on either side of the chancel arch on modern stone
brackets, are two carved, painted wooden images of St. Peter and St.
Andrew. They are French and are from the Church of Le Royal (? La
Reole). The R.C.H.M. says they are early 16th century but Pevsner states
the extremely good St. Andrew must be considerably earlier, late 14th
century probably. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They were presumably erected in the Bedford Chapel c 1896.
|

JOHN, 1st. EARL OF BEDFORD KG.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over the arch in the South wall of the Chapel next the East end is
a sunken square panel containing the achievement of John, 1st Earl of
Bedford K.G. born 1485, died 14th March, 1554/55; the stone carving is
well executed and painted, probably 17th century. This heraldic panel
and sculpture is repeated on the other side of the arch on the North
wall of the church. |
