Summary
[edit]| Description | Detail from foot of the large monumental brass of Peter Gerard (d.1495), of Bryn Hall in the parish of Winwick, Lancashire. In the Gerald Chapel of St Oswald's Church, Winwick. (Now Bryn is in Ashton-in-Makerfield, a component ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester. Before 1894 Ashton-in-Makerfield was a township in the parish of Winwick, part of the West Derby Hundred of Lancashire). Inscribed: Here lieth Peers Gerard, Esquyer, son & heire of Sr Thomas Gerard, Knyght, of the Bryn, whiche married Margaret, doughter to Sr William Stanley of Haton, Knyght, & oone of the heires of Sr John Bromley, Knyght, which died the xix day of June, the yere of oure Lord MCCCCLXXXXV on whose sowle God have mercy amen. The Gerard family were later seated at Gerard's Bromley, Staffordshire, the manor they inherited from the Bromley family, where they built a new manor house. Arms: two surviving shields, Gerard (Azure, a lion rampant ermine crowned or) impaling and quartering Quarterly per fess indented gules and or (Bromley) (History of the Chantries, vol. i, p. 79, vol lix of the Chetham series). The figure also displays the arms of Gerard on his chest, embroidered on his tabard. He married Margaret Stanley, a daughter of Sir William Stanley of Hooton in Cheshire, by his wife Margaret Bromley, a daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Bromley of Bromley in Staffordshire. By Margaret Stanley he had one son and four daughters; Sir Thomas Gerard; Joan Gerard, wife of Richard Done; Isabel Gerard, wife of Richard Langton; Jane Gerard, wife of Peter Legh; Alice Gerard, wife of Thomas Radcliffe. (Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry, p. 368; see also [1]). His Inquisition post mortem was held on 10 Henry VII (1494/5) confirming his date of death as 1495, per the inscription, of which the final Roman numeral "V" is sometimes mis-read as "II", giving an incorrect date of 1492. |
