Eleanor of Castile, wife of King Edward I, died at Harby on 28th November 1290. Her body was embalmed at her viscera buried in Lincoln Cathedral. Her body was then taken towards London, arriving at Charing on December 14th. Two days later her body was buried in Westminster Abbey and later her heart was buried in Church of the Blackfriar's Church also in London. The following year King Edward commissioned gilt bronze effigies for Eleanor's two tombs at Lincoln and Westminster as well a similar effigy for his father, Henry III, at Westminster; these were to be made by the London based goldsmith William Torrel. The Westminster monument and effigy can be seen today but the Lincoln tomb was demolished during the War of the Three Kingdoms. Queen Eleanor's Lincoln effigy that we see today is cast of the Westminster effigy and dates from 1891. The Blackfriar's monument did not feature a cast bronze effigy bur a casket, supplied by mason, William de Hoos and three gilt images made by William of Suffolk and a figure of an angel holding a heart supplied by Adam the Goldsmith. At the points were Eleanor's body rested on its journey from Lincolnshire to London the Eleanor crosses - twelve in all - were built. Three can be seen at Hardingstone, Geddinton and Waltham and fragments of the Charing cross still exist. Those at Lincoln, Grantham, Stamford, Stony Stratford, Woburn, Dunstable, St Albans, and Cheapside are lost. |
