Blanche ap Harry (Parry)
[1]
Blanche Parry
was 'Chief Gentlewoman of Queen Elizabeth's
most honorable Privy Chamber and Keeper of Her Majesty's
Jewels' (from her epitaph at St Margaret's, Westminster,
where she was buried.)According to her first will, which
was written at her dictation by Sir William Cecil (who
was her cousin) when she was seriously ill and wished to
be buried at Bacton : 'I have prepared a tomb' This was
about 1576/7. However she did not die until 1590 and was
then buried at St Margaret's.
The tomb we see here at Bacton in therefore empty. |
|
 |
If you thought the seated figure were
an effigy of Queen Elizabeth I you would be right: this
is the earliest known representation of the Queen as an
icon, Gloriana. Blanche kneels at her right hand side,
holding an egg shaped box.
The monument is of white stone and alabaster and is not in its original position, having
been originally sited where the organ now stands.
The epitaph, on the all behind the figures, is said to
have been written by blanche herself. It may be read on
the photograph on the left.

O/S Ref: SO 654 575 |
Six medieval effigies
and an incised slab lie crowded together on the floor under the
tower at the west end of the church; they were certainly in this
position at least at the time of the RCHM survey. With the
exception of the minature effigy, which is in the usual
position, the other six monuments are orientated in a
north-south position, heads towards the south. They are
protected by a low iron railing.
Their being so close, the lighting and various obstructions make
them rather difficult to photograph.
The frst picture below shows the head of the north effigies and the
feet of the south effigies, to give an overview. The minature
effigies between them is shown to indicated the size difference.

Above and right is the northern group of
effigies. Top left shows the knight and two ladies together and
top right the minature effigy; Bottom left shows the two ladies

his two wives, from the Edefen
family, early
14th century. The shield is charged with the arms of Edefen. His
feet rest on both a lion and dog. [5]
Minature effigy or girl or woman. Early 14th century |
