Summary
[edit]DescriptionSt Margaret of Antioch, Norfolk - Wall monument - geograph.org.uk - 1500864.jpg |
English: St Margaret's Church, Felbrigg, Norfolk, mural monument to Thomas Windham (1585-1653/4) made in 1669 by a Norwich stonemason named Martin Morley who charged £45 (Ketton-Cremer, R W, Felbrigg, The Story of a House, 1986 edition (first published 1962), p.53). He died aged 69, but the monument states his age at death incorrectly as 82 (Ketton-Cremer, p.53). He married twice:
On top of the broken pediment are two cherubs, one blowing the Last Trump of the Final Judgement, the other brandishing Death's scythe, both supporting up a laurel crown in the centre, signifying victory over death. Inscribed in Latin (transcribed in Farrer, Edmund, Church Heraldry of Norfolk, Vol.2, Norwich, 1889, pp.422-3 [1]):
Which may be translated:
The Mede or Meade family was seated at Lofts Hall in the parish of Wenden Lofts, 5 miles west of Saffron Walden. In the Parish Church of St. Dunstan, Wenden Lofts, are ledger stones to Thomas Meade, son of Sir John Meade, 1678 and to Thomas Windham, 1661 (Source: 'Wenden Lofts', in An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Essex, Volume 1, North West (London, 1916), pp. 328-329 [2]). Three of his children died of smallpox. See also mural monuments in same church to two of his children who died of smallpox: Joan Windham (1651/2-1669), died aged 18 at Norwich, and his youngest child John Windham (1653-1676), died aged 23 at Lincoln's Inn in London, which also mentions that his eldest brother Thomas Windham (1646-1661) also died of smallpox, aged 15, and was buried at his mother's home church at Wenden Lofts, Essex (where survives his ledger stone).
