Summary

[edit]
Description

There are two tombs to the Dingley or Dineley family in the church of St Michael's, Cropthorne. One is for Francis Dineley, the other for his grandson Edward Dingley. The Dineleys date back to the 14th Century, mostly around the area of Cropthorne and Charlton, Worcestershire.

Francis Dineley (1550 - 1624) and his wife Elizabeth Bigge (1554 - 1632) are shown as effigies on a tomb chest; he in armour and she in the dress of the period. They were married for 50 years. He was killed in a duel in 1624. They had 19 children in all, 11 sons and 8 daughters, and these are shown in detail around the base of the tomb. One boy died in infancy, and 2 boys and 1 girl died as babies. Their cradles can be seen, as if flying. The eldest son was Henry, Edward Dingley's father.

Edward Dingley (1592 - 1646) is depicted in the tomb nearby, with his wife Joyce. They are shown kneeling in mourning dress at a prie-dieu under a canopy supported by black marble columns. Their 4 sons and 3 daughters are shown as weepers below. One son died in infancy and is shown on a strange pedestal. All the children's hands have been removed.

The Charlton Dingley line died out in 1809.
