| Knight and lady, details given below. The annoying shadow on the knight's face is caused by one of the cusps of the arch. This was impossible to eliminate without some kind of reflector behind the cusp of taking the photograph from a somewhat ungainly angle. We reduced this by using a reflector near the feet of the effigy as shown on the detail below but it was still far from perfect. | |

These are the monuments set high in the wall of the nave; you
can see the roof corbels and the nave arches in some of these
photographs. They date mainly form the eighteenth century.
Unfortunately I
did not take a long enough lens so have had to enlarge the
photographs more than I should like; some therefore cannot be
read. They are, of course, taken from a low angle. Some I may
well have misread. |

Knight
effigy of c. 1300, said to be
that of
William de Braose. Right: TwoMedieval Male Civilians dug up from churchyard in 1902. That on the right is mid 14th C. |
|
William de Braose (1197-1230)
was a marcher lord who was
captured by the Welsh Prince, Llewellyn the Great in 1228. He
was subsequently ransomed for the sum of £2,000 and then made an
alliance with Llewellyn arranging the marriage with his eldest
daughter, Isabella, with the latter's only legitimate son,
Dafydd. However it transpired that William 'had been caught in Llewellyn's chamber with the King of England's daughter, Llewellyn's wife.' This refers to Joan, an illegitimate daughter of King John, and occurred when William was a captive. William was taken from his home by Llewellyn and his army and hanged somewhere in Wales in 1230. |
