Title |
Beauchamp monument, Old St Paul's Cathedral (destroyed in Fire of London, 1666). Chest tomb and effigy of Sir w:John Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp "of Warwick" (c.1316-1360), Knight of the Garter, the third son of Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick, and brother of Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick, with whom he became a Founder Knight and the tenth Knight of the Order of the Garter in 1348. Illustration in William Dugdale's 'The History of St Pauls Cathedral in London' (London, 1658 and 1716). (Source: British Museum catalogue description[1]). Inscribed at top: Tumulus Johannis de Bellocampo militis Ordinis Garterii praenobilis unius fundatorum ("Tomb of Sir John de Beauchamp, Knight, one of the Founders of the Most Noble Order of the Garter"); above which: Inter ecclesiae navim et alam australem ("Between the nave of the Church and the south aisle"). The Latin inscription at top right states that the monument was restored by Charles Nevill, Esquire. Ut de sacrilego militum furore triumphet miles Carolus Nevill Armiger Johanni de Bello campo resituit monumentum quovis marmore atque aere perennius ("In order that the knight should triumph over the sacriligious fury of soldiers, Charles Nevill, Esquire, restored the monument of John "from the beautiful meadow" (de beau champ) in ever-lasting marble and brass"). Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick (1428-1471), inherited the titles and lands of the Beauchamp Earls of Warwick by marriage to the heiress Anne Beauchamp, but left no male issue. Shield of arms of Charles Nevill, of 9 quarters, the 8th being Beauchamp, as on the side of the chest tomb. The identity of Charles Nevill is unclear, but his shield showing the arms of Neville differenced by a rose are the arms of the extant cadet branch, Barons Bergavenny and Marquesses of Abergavenny, with rose for difference of a 7th son first adopted by Edward Neville, 1st Baron Bergavenny (d.1476), 7th son of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland. |
