Description
English: St Germain's Church, Bobbingworth, Essex, England - mural monument (monument signed by "H. Rouw, London", either Hendrick Rouw, the father of sculptor w:Peter Rouw II (17 April 1771– 9 December 1852), a London-based sculptor specialising in bas-reliefs in marble, or possibly Henry Rouw, brother of Peter Rouw) to the two successive wives of Capel Cure I (1745-1820). His lifespan is given as (1726-1816) in Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, 15th Edition, ed. Pirie-Gordon, H., London, 1937, p.541 "Cure of Blake Hall":
Capel Cure I (1726-1816), who in 1789 purchased Blake Hall; High Sherriff of Essex in 1799; he married twice (see monument to his two wives in same church): Firstly to a certain Elizabeth (1752-1773), who died aged 21 after 3 years of marriage; secondly to Joanna Coape (1761-1804), a daughter of John Coape of Oxton Hall, Nottinghamshire. ("Oxton Hall is a neat edifice. Robert Sherbrooke who died a childless widower, married Eliz. Thompson of Licolnshire. From him the estate descended to Henry Sherbrooke his nephew, who was Father to Margaret Sherbrooke the present possessor, on whose death it will descend to William Sherbrooke, eldest son of Sarah Sherbrooke, who married William Coape of Farnar in Derbyshire" (Robert Thoroton, 'Oxton, Oston', in Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire: Volume 3, Republished With Large Additions By John Throsby, ed. John Throsby (Nottingham, 1796), pp. 43-48. [1]) He invested in the 'Belvedere' plantation - producing rum and sugar - in Saint Thomas Parish, Jamaica. An 1804 estate map demonstrates that Cure had extended the house and organised new planting for the gardens at Blake Hall. (per Wikipedia)
