Summary
[edit]DescriptionMary Calthorpe memorial - geograph.org.uk - 578595.jpg |
All Saints Church, East Barsham, Norfolk, mural monument (See better image[1]) to Mary Calthorpe (1612-1640), who died aged 28, a daughter and co-heiress of William Fermor/Farmer of East Barsham (see pedigree of Calthorpe[2]). Sculpted by John and Matthias Christmas. She was the first wife of James Calthorpe (1604-1652), who was Sheriff of Norfolk in 1643, eldest son of Christopher Calthorpe of Cockthorpe by his wife Maude Thurton. It shows a sculpted bust of Mary Calthorpe rising from her coffin at the sound of the last trumpet (1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed). Against the south wall of the present chancel, which is taken out of the nave of the church, is a very sumptuous monument of alabaster, black marble, &c. with the effigies of a woman in her winding sheet, as raising herself with her left hand out of her coffin, her right hand and eyes elevated in a posture of adoration, and on the coffin, "Come Lord Jesu quickly". Over her are two arches, supported by pillars of the Dorick order; in one of them is an angel offering her a crown of glory, and in the other an angel offering her a crown of laurel; and, above these, an angel as sounding the last trumpet. On the cornice of the monument are two effigies, one representing Wisdom or Knowledge, with the sun, the other with a dove, representing Innocency. On the base of the monument, the arms of Calthorpe. Inscribed (see image of inscription[4]):
HeraldryOn the summit of the monument is a shield of 4 quarters (see pedigree of Calthorpe, Heraldic Visitation of Norfolk[5]):
