Church memorials talk

I gave a talk on the memorials inside All Saints Church Whiteparish on 14th July 2024. This page has been prepared as quickly as possible to make available all the information presented on the slides. Further detail and links to make navigation easier will be added over the coming days.

Contents of this page

Initially this page contains the contents of the slides presented at the talk, with a few extra comments for clarification. More detail is being added. Links provided in this contents list take you to directly to specific sections without having to scroll down the page to find them.

Funerary Hatchments in the church in 1838
Modern generations commemorated in many ways (very briefly)
At the bottom of this page you can find a plan showing the location of each memorial and a full list in date order.

Note on references: The book 'Hundred of Frustfield ' by George Matcham, published in 1844 as part of Sir Richard Colt Hoare's 'History of Modern Wiltshire', has been widely used on this page and is referred to as 'Matcham'. Many of the text copies of inscriptions shown have been copied from this book, and inevitably for a book of that complexity, some minor errors may be present in these extracts. Where I've spotted significant errors, I have added comments or inserted corrected text. Please do let me know if you spot other errors and I'll add corrections.

Which memorials are included?

I've attempted to include every memorial in church, although still keep finding the odd extra one I hadn't spotted. Any more will be added here, of course.

Wall memorials
Flat memorial stones on the floor, including those hidden under the 1860 floor.
Windows
Very briefly: Modern memorials

Only a tiny selection of the population

The monuments inside the church described here represent a tiny proportion of people who died between 1655 and 1928, most of them were prominent members of the local landed gentry.

There are roughly 40 memorials in the church
Representing just 273 years from the 824+ years of the church
27 of the visible ones are wall or floor memorials
7 people are commemorated on 6 windows
There are at least 8 floor slabs that we can’t see today, under the 1870 floor
Altogether these memorials commemorate about 54 people
Out of maybe 10,000 people from 1200 to the present (824 years) 824x800/70=9417

Sara Atkinson has carried out extensive research into the people buried in the graveyard around the church and has a large database recording the graves and people. She gave a talk on these people and the changing styles of gravestone at the same event as the talk described on this page.

In the beginning this was Alderstone church

This was Alderstone church, Alderstone being one of the eight Whiteparish manors
Other manors had or shared chapels of ease

Cowesfield Esturmy, Cowesfield Spilman and Cowesfield Louveras shared a chapel
Whelpley had a chapel of its own
Moor and Titchborne (earlier called Abbotstone) shared a chapel
Blaxwell probably used Alderstone church

Lords of Alderstone manor appointed the clergy

Until 1338 when the manor was given to St Edmund’s College Salisbury
After 1546 when the College was seized for Henry VIII at the dissolution and sold to William St Barbe

.
Left: Map emphasising the scattered geography of Alderstone Manor --- Right: Alderstone in the context of a full map of the parish
Blaxwell and the three Cowesfield manors lay between the two main parts of Alderstone

To provide some context to this map, the church is at the lower end of the large area at top left. The large area at bottom right consists essentially of Cowesfield Gate and Bunny Lane and land down towards Plaitford. It is worth being aware that Cowesfield Gate and all its properties were never part of the Cowesfield manors, but in the eastern part of Alderstone. The new 1812 Alderstone manor house at Broxmore House that will be mentioned in more detail below stood near the top of Bunny Lane. [I'll add some labels to the map to make it clearer in the coming days.]

Alderstone Church after 1546

William St Barbe bought the college for £400 in 1546
Kept Alderstone and sold the college and its other possessions
Was then Lord of the Manor and patron of the living
William (S) – Edward (T) – Edward (U) – Edward d.1671 (V)
(Edward (T) built the manor house by the church)

.
Buckler's paintings of the church and manor house in 1805
The church was changed by Butterfield in 1860 to its present form, the house was demolished in 1812 to build Broxmore House

The memorial to Edward St Barbe (V) d.1671

Lord of Alderstone Manor
Patron of the living
His grandfather Edward had built the manor house by the church
Married Mary Mason
Immediately to the right of the altar in the sanctuary

The memorial to Mary St Barbe d.1692

After Edward St Barbe died in 1671 …
… Mary then married Anthony Hungerford
In 1655 Anthony had been a secret agent in the Royalist cause in the Civil War

Anthony Hungerford and Mary St Barbe married in Westminster in 1676. He is buried in St Mary's churchyard Blackbourton: "... monument is to Colonel Anthony Hungerford, who died 1703, and was buried in the vault below. It is of white marble, elaborately carved with various instruments of war — the workmanship of which is considered excellent. It bears this inscription:
Near this place lyeth the body of Colonel Anthony Hungerford of Blackbourton of this County [Oxfordshire], second son of Anthony Hungerford of Farleigh Castle in the County of Somerset, Esq. He married Mary Saintbarbe of Whiteparish in the County of Wilts, widdow. He departed this life on the seaventh day of June in the year of our Lord 1703 and in the 69th year of his age.
At the top of the monument is a shield bearing the Hungerford arms: — Sable; two bars argent, in chief three plates and above it the Hungerford garb (wheatsheaf) between two sickles.” Publications, Volumes 34-46 By North Oxfordshire Archaeological Society, p. 44-5". [wikitree.]

Base of memorial and the crest, top Edward St Barbe, bottom Mary St Barbe
Edward's crest is a Wyvern (mythical dragon), Mary's is a wheatsheaf (known as a garb) with a sickle each side (Hungerford)
The images of skulls, other bones and worms are characteristic of the age

The house and manor stayed in the St Barbe family until 1722

The house and manor stayed in the St Barbe family from 1546 until 1722
Bought by George Treby from John St Barbe in 1722
Three years later bought by Robert Bristow (2) d.1737
Robert (2) – Robert (3) – Robert (4)
Robert Bristow (4) demolished the manor house in 1812 and built Broxmore House and Park

.
Left the manor house by the church demolished in 1812, right Broxmore House built to replace it

Robert Bristow (4) d.1853

Married Sophia Twine of Ramsbury
Son Robert (5) and grandson Robert (6) both died in Sophie’s lifetime
Robert (5) and two of his sisters also have windows dedicated to them…

Children of Robert Bristow (4) and Sophia Twine d.1896

. .
Laura Caroline Knollys d.1873 aged 26 ---- Ada Sophia Kempe d.1880 aged 39 ---- Robert d.1883 aged 39

Sara will have more details of the Twine family locally

Sophia married again

Robert (4) died in 1853
Sophia married Major Charles Durie in 1858
Charles was later promoted to Colonel
In 1870 Sophia donated the first of two churchyard extensions – intended to coincide with the reopening of the church, but delayed by illness
As patrons of the living, Charles and Sophia appointed two of Sophia’s relatives as vicars:

William Twine 1878
George Augustus, son-in-law of William Twine 1889 or 1887

The June 1870 churchyard extension in yellow
Below it is the 1902 extension, which includes the north half of the St Barbe manor house site, the south half being under the car park

Moving on from Alderstone…

Only one other manor is represented in memorials in the church – why?
I’ll cover these memorials later, but here’s some background first

See elsewhere on this website for an explanation of how the manorial boundaries shown on this map have been determined [link to be added here]

Manor evolution diagram for the eight Whiteparish manors

The diagram below covering 1066 to 1878 illustrates the way in which manors were gradually divided. At the time of the earliest memorials in church (1655) only Alderstone and Cowesfield Spilman were still being run as manors, and the lords of these manors had elevated status within the community. Owners/lords of the manors shown are those at 1844.

The truncated date on the right hand edge of the diagram should read 1878

A second copy of the diagram has shading emphasising the 1655 line and red lines emphasising manorial ownership where manors were still intact. Although half of Cowesfield Spilman was used as farmland by Melchet Court, Squire Lawrence still held and exercised the manorial title. Lady Fremantle, on the other hand, was an absent landlord, all her land in Cowesfield Esturmy and Cowesfield Louveras being rented out. Robert Bristow used her Cowesfield Louveras as farmland associated with Broxmore House and Park. The Brickworth line at the bottom is spurious as has never been a manor. It is present to show how the Eyre family progressively collected land from all round the parish, generally extending by buying land contiguous with their estate of the time as it came available, but also collecting properties and smallholdings elsewhere and particularly in the village. Although Moor (using the old spelling of Moore on this diagram) also survived intact for longer, it was run as a farm rather than as a manor.

Brickworth and the Eyre family

The prize for the most extensive collection of memorials must surely go to the Eyres of Brickworth
Land at Brickworth was conveyed on 15th May 1605 to Giles Eyre (1) of Redlynch by Richard Plott of Wantage
Gyles Eyre (1) built Brickworth House and Park, famously the smallest deer park in England
The Eyre family became great landowners in the parish
237 years later in 1842 the Eyre estate in Whiteparish covered 1355.65 acres
21.5% of the parish, and lots of land outside the parish

.

The Eyres of Brickworth

Blue shading indicates the eight members of the Brickworth Eyre family. The last Brickworth Eyre, Frances Elizabeth Eyre, married Thomas Bolton in 1821. He became second Earl Nelson in May 1835, when they changed their name to Nelson, were given the Trafalgar estate and moved to Standlynch House, renaming it Trafalgar House. Thomas died a few months later in November 1835, leaving their son Horatio as the third Earl Nelson.

Brickworth House

5 generations of Gyles Eyre
Starting with Gyles Eyre (1) 1572-d.1655 and Jane Snelgrove his wife
Wall memorial
Flat stone marked with GEJ (formatted as shown in the illustration below) in the south aisle under the 1870 floor

Gyles Eyre (1) 1572-d.1655 and his wife Jane

Some grievances here may have been exaggerated
£10 plus £100 demanded
Sheriff of Wilts 1640 not an MP
Son of a merchant
Politically out of line locally
Seriously affected

Gyles Eyre (1)

His helmet and crest hung above the memorial
Stolen from the church in the 1980s, leaving the crest behind
The crest was of a dismembered leg (carved in wood)
“Couped limb of the mailed warrior … ensign borne by the Eyres of Derbyshire and Wiltshire” [Matcham p.55]
Much fuss in the vestry that Sunday, but where did the leg go?

.
Left: Eyre crest on helmet; Right: the Eyre crest on the Henry and Harriot Eyre memorial (featured below)

Other examples

By an amazing coincidence, Jane Legat met me at the church door as I arrived to give this talk. In clearing out a cupboard to deal with a bees nest, a package had been found at the back of the cupboard bearing the label: "Wooden crest from an Eyre family memorial, west wall". I was able to unwrap and hold up the leg for all to see!

Here are pictures of the leg, carved in wood, with the binding showing on the left side, thus presumably a left leg; the toe cap is of leather
[tbd: measure and indicate the size here, or photograph again with a ruler for scale]

Matcham's book 'Hundred of Frustfield' in 1844 has a lovely comment as follows: "In tbe early legends of the family, the crest of the booted leg is said to have been introduced by the chivalrous ancestor, whose loss of limb at Ascalon afforded protection to his gallant chief, Richard Coeur de Lion. This story is probably as veritable as "Near Ascalon's towers John of Horiston slept."

Gyles Eyre (2) 1607-1685

Gyles Eyre (2) 1607-d.1685 and Ann Norton his wife
Flat stone in the south aisle (with others)
Under the floor today so not visible
No dates on the stone
Enlarged Brickworth Park

Henry Eyre (2) d.1678 aged 33

Son of Gyles Eyre (1)
A younger brother of Gyles Eyre (2) (seven brothers and one sister in the family)
Outer Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn, MP for Sarum 1638
Married Margaret Hastings (at one point in Matcham's text he erroneously has put Dorothy Hastings, in the Pedigree chart and elsewhere is correct)

[from Matcham 'Hundred of Frustfield']

John Eyre, probably (2) of Eyre Court

Flat stone near Henry (2), or may be on the same stone
Labelled as elder brother of Henry Eyre but no date
From the context in Matcham, likely to be John Eyre of Eyre Court 1623-1685 so almost certainly not buried here
John Eyre (2) married Mary Bygoe
Colonel
Granted 800 acres in Galway, Ireland

The coat of arms description here should suffice to identify this John unambiguously [on my list to be resolved]
[from Matcham 'Hundred of Frustfield']

Sir Gyles Eyre (3) and Dorothy Ryves d.1667

Sir Gyles Eyre (3) 1635-d.1695
Lincoln’s Inn Barrister
Recorder of New Sarum
Justice of the King’s bench
Sergeant-at-Law
MP for Sarum
Knighted

Also flat stone hidden under floor in south aisle: several family members

Sir Gyles Eyre (3) and Dorothy Ryves, first wife
… and Christabella, Baroness Glasford, second wife
Divers children
No date shown

[from Matcham 'Hundred of Frustfield']

Gyles Eyre (4) and Mabel Thayne

A flat stone that we can see
Gyles Eyre (4) 1664-d.1734
Mabel Thayne d.1728 his wife
The Thaynes were Lords of the Manor of Cowesfield Spilman (which we’ll be coming back to)
Almost certainly the Gyles Eyre who built the Pepperbox
Found when the floor was taken up, where the font was intended to stand

. .

It had been intended to lift the floorboards next to the font for the talk so that people could see this memorial stone, but the boards were so tightly fitted that we found it impossible to raise them.

Picture of their floor slab after discovery

Gyles Eyre (4) and Mabel Thayne

"Underneath lye the Bodyes of Gyles Eyre, Esq. Eldest son of Sir Gyles Eyre, Knt And of Mabel his wife. She dyed ye 6 March 1728, aged 74. He ye 28 Nov. 1734, aged 70"

The last two Eyres of Brickworth

A reminder of the Eyres of Brickworth: Gyles – Gyles – Sir Gyles – Gyles – Gyles – nephew Henry - then his nephew John Maurice followed by daughter Frances Elizabeth

In the nave, on flat stones under the floor

William Hitchcock d.1729 (aged 82)
William Hitchcock d.1733 (aged 63)
Mary Hitchcock his wife d.1679

[from Matcham 'Hundred of Frustfield']

Francis Tregagle of Melchet Park d.1759 and Mary d.1759 his wife

[from Matcham 'Hundred of Frustfield']

Francis Tregagle had the use of Cowesfield House for his lifetime only, after which it returned to his wife Jane's family

Henry Dench d.1803

1767 Henry Dench turned the farmhouse into a modest country house and park

George Lawrence d.1861, wife Sarah d.1868

Note the shape of George's memorial and its position in the south aisle, and we'll see it later in its earlier position by the chancel arch in a painting of 1869.

Mary Lewis d.1883, niece of George and Sarah

Mary lived at Cowesfield House for more than 50 years

Frederic Eyre Lawrence 1861-1895

Captain Frederic Eyre Lawrence of the Rifle Brigade (1861–1895)

His place of death is recorded as Mgobani on the painting in the Rifles Museum, Mboyani on the Winchester Cathedral memorial (above), near Mombasa on the Whiteparish memorial. Could this be the modern Magombani, 14 miles from Mombasa?

Latin and Greek
A good intellectual challenge

Edward Young's coat of arms

Edward Young

My schoolboy and mediaeval Latin isn't up to this one: I'm hoping to be able to provide a professional translation through the granddaughter of a Whiteparish resident, a classics teacher. Of course, if you can provide me a translation of this or any of the other Latin memorials, I would be very pleased.

[from Matcham 'Hundred of Frustfield']

Ferdinando and Susan Younge and their daughters Elizabeth Younge & Susan Younge

[from Matcham 'Hundred of Frustfield']

And one other memorial

Emma d.1838, daughter of George Nunn
Wife of George Faulkner

1869 before Butterfield Restoration

These paintings show four of the eleven Funerary hatchments and one of the three Lawrence memorials, moved in 1870

Funerary hatchments

Eleven in the church in 1838
Sadly probably lost as a result of the Butterfield restoration
Usually Lord of the Manor or other titled people
Placed over the door of residence
Moved into the church after 6 or 12 months
Black background for parts of the heraldic emblem of the deceased, white for a surviving widow or widower's part of the memorial
These examples are from Farley Chamberlayne

Hatchments in 1838

These will relate closely to monuments listed above
I plan to analyse the descriptions below from Matcham to pin them to the individuals concerned
The families represented as highlighted on the image below are:

1. Hitchcock
2. Tregagle and Johnson
3. Eyre and Eyre, probably Henry (6) d.1799 and Harriot d.1799
4. Eyre, Snelgrove and Thayne: possibly Gyles Eyre (4) and Mabel Thayne - further research needed to check this
5. Eyre and Snelgrove: Gyles Eyre (1) and his wife Jane Snelgrove
6. Eyre
7. Eyre and Eyre - see 3 above, either is possible
8. Hitchcock
9. Hitchcock and Eyre plus three blackamoors' heads
10. Hitchcock and Eyre
11. Young
