| John (1420) & Elizabeth (1421) Ingoldesthorpe The armour indicates that the date of the first quater of the 15th century. | ||
| Chancel - North Wall |
| The church was originally more or less
rectangular in plan with the north and south aisles continuing
as chapels on either side of the chancel. These chapels
contained chantries and there were four chantry priests as well
as the rector serving the church. These two chapels were
demolished in the seventeenth century.
The central tomb appears to be slightly buried in the north wall of the chancel, explained by the fact that this tomb was open to the north chapel as well as to the chancel. When the north wall of the chancel was built following the demolition of the north chapel, this tomb was buried somewhat in the new wall. This can be seen in the photograph of the north exterior wall of the chancel where the outline of the canopy of tomb can be seen. There is also a double piscina set into this wall which original served the chapel. This indicates that the communication between chancel and chapel was probably only over the central tomb. The identification of these tombs is speculative as there in neither original heraldry not inscriptions remaining. |

| Thomas de Burgh 1 (1330) Brother of John 1 The armour sets the date of the effigy to the last quarter of the 14th century |

| John (2) de Burgh (1393) and his second wife Catharine (1409) ? son of Thomas 1, above and succeeded by his son, another Thomas 2. This is the tomb which, as mentioned above, communicated with the north chapel. John's effigy can be seen to be partly buried in the wall and the edge of the canopy above the tomb can be seen on the now exterior north wall of the chancel, with two piscinae which served the chapel, in the photograph above. Note some interesting features of John's effigy: his legs are crossed which is unusual in this period, and he lies on a bed of stones, which, again is unusual but occurs in a few monuments in eastern England. There is also structure held under his right arm which I cannot identify. From the armour the effigy looks the latter quarter of the 14th century. |

Conington - St Mary |

| This is the one with the excellent pub -
The
White Swan - which is thoroughly recommended. The church does
not have a curious monument to a medieval Scottish king: that's
the other one, in Huntingdonshire. It does have some excellent
wall monuments. The church is open: plenty of room to park outside O/S Ref: TL 320 661 |
