16)
William de William de Valence, Earl of Pembroke (1296)
The tomb is the only English example of
Limoges champlevé enamel work. The effigy and tomb chest are of
oak and once were both covered by enamelled copper plates,
mostly now lost from the chest (save five shields)although
thankfully not from the effigy. There are also a number of
shields on the stone base of the monument. |
He was the son of
Isabelle of Angoulême, King John's widow, and her second husband
Hugh X of Lusignon, Count of Marche , and hence half brother to King Henry III.
In addition to his French holdings, he aquired vast estates in
England and Ireland by his marriage to Joan, who was co-heir of
the Marshals, Earl of Pembroke. |

 |
 |
| 4) John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall (1336) was the
second
son of Edward II and was three times regent when
his brother
Edward III was absent from the kingdom,
although, dying at nineteen, he was a teenager. Alabaster effigy
and tomb chest,
probably by the same artist who made Edward II's
effigy in Gloucester Cathedral. Note the weepers around the tomb chest
in the top tier of canopies, those on the north side being
better preserved.
The lower tier contains shields. The canopy was broken in 1776 and unfortunately
removed. |

5) William of Windsor (1348) & Blanche of
the Tower (1342)
Children of King Edward III. William died from the
plaque at three months and Blanche also died young. They are,
however, represented as children rather than babies in these
effigies, as is curiously often the case.
See also William of Hatfield in York Minster.

A recessed altar tomb, with six quatrefoiled each with blank
shield, with effigy and canopy. The effigy is of 'doubtful
antiquity' (RCHM); the unlikely shield shown in the Stothard
etching is now gone. The inscription above the effigy is of the
eighteenth century and not correct, but the brass inscription on
the edge of the tomb is original. All restored in the eighteenth
century. |
