| Description |
Pic by Jenny The Whalley's were originally a Staffordshire family, and came to Nottinghamshire in the time of Edward IV. Richard Whalley died in 1584 aged 85, and was a servant of the Lord Protector Somerset. In 1538 he obtained possession of Welbeck Abbey and other property. In his later years he was enriched by grants from Queen Elizabeth, and left behind him substantial positions for his children to enjoy. He married three times and had 25 children, many of whom he married with families of influence and position. His last wife Barbara erected the alabaster monument which bears a quaint inscription. "Behold his Wives were number three : Two of them died in right good fame : The Third this Tomb erected she, For him who well deserv'd the same. Both for his life and Godly end, Which all that knows must needs commend: And they that knows not, yet may see, A worthy Whalleye loe was he. Since time brings all things to an end, Let us our selves applye, And learn by this our faithful friend, That here in Tombe doth lye, To fear the Lord, and eke beholde The fairest is but dust and Mold: For as we are, so once was he : And as he ys, so must we be." His first wife Lora, was daughter of Thomas Brookman, and they had five children. His second wife was Ursula Thwaites, and they had 13 children. His third wife was Barbara who survived him and remarried. His eldest son Thomas Whalley predeceased him in 1582. Thomas' son Richard became Sheriff of Nottingham. The tomb was originally in the chancel, and was moved in 1881. It shows the effigy of Richard Whalley with his feet on a whale and his head on whale's head, the family's crest. On the tomb, each wife is shown with her children in the panels behind her. The family died out around 1680. |
