YORKSHIRE - THE EAST RIDING |
 |
| I have not really done justice to the old East Riding: many of the photographs are old black and white ones, often there are just lists of monuments and my own photographic skills were rather lacking twenty years ago, which I will blame on the lack of a sufficiently wide angle lens for interior shots. Those I have taken were during the Church Monuments Society symposium at Beverley in 1996; not the best time to take photographs! |

| BEVERLEY |
|
Beverley was one of the 'Six More English Towns' chosen by Alec Clifton-Taylor in the BBC Television series and is certainly worth a vist and a wander around. It has not just one but two magnificent churches as well as a remarkable number of pubs; the handful I have visited were rather good. Plus - and I hope it is still there - an excellent ice cream shop - Burgess & Son (just inside the bar) |

The Earl famously held back at the Battle of Bosworth, failing to support and so contributing to the defeat of King Richard III. He was murdered by a mob at Topcliffe a few years later. | Sir Charles Hotham (1723) Standing monuments in the centre of which a shield in a cartouche and to each side free standing arrangements of armour, originally much higher but truncated at the suggestion of Sir G G Scott.

The tomb chest is from another monument and may belong to the canopy in the nave. Note the fine carving of the details on the ecclesiastical vestments. The above lithograph by R Martin for Scaum's Beverlac (1829) is clearly labelled 'The Percy Tomb'; However, it is clearly the Huggate tomb. Excellent drawing however. |

| Lady Eleanor Percy (1328) This is the famous Percy Tomb, said to be the most splendid of British Decorated funerary monuments, but the attribution is uncertain; heraldry, however, makes a date after 1339 likely. There is no effigy but the top slab of the tomb chest which was removed in 1825, in the amost certainly mistaken belief that this was a later addition, bore the indent of a brass of a priest | ||||

Hull - Charterhouse |
 |
| Charterhouse Lane |
| This almshouse (and its name) has its
origin in the Carthusian Priory established in 1378 by Michael
de la Pole which stood on the same site to the north of the
walled town of Hull. From the beginning the Priory included a
hospital (in the sense of an almshouse) for 13 poor men and 13
poor women. The Priory and the Hospital were separated in 1383
and the following year the Hospital - now to be known as
God's House of Hull - was established by charter from de la
Pole. The Priory was dissolved during the Dissolution of the
Monasteries and the Hospital (then on the south side of the
lane) were demolished during the Siege of Hull in the War of the
Three Kingdoms (First Civil War) The Hospital was later rebuilt on the same site and later new buildings add across the lane and a chapel added. The Hospital was rebuilt in its present form 1778-80 on the site of the original Priory. |

Market Weighton - All Saints |
| Here are two examples of seemingly the most ordinary of monuments which have intersting tales to tell |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Robert Barker (1748/9) and
his wife, Catherine (1773) Also three children: Robert, Rebecca, and Catherine |
Mary Evans (1776), and her husband, Bemjamin (1791) | Rev Geo. Skelding (1819) For 45 years viscar of this parish. Signed M Taylor, York |
William Bradley (1820) at 33 'He measured 7 foot, 9 inches and weighed 27 stone' |
 |
 |
 |
| Anne Pulleine (Smith) (1851) Her son, Robert James Pulleine (n/d) Her brother, John Smith (1868) |
Mary Rivis (1804) and her
sons: William Robert (1834), Iohn (1822), George (1817), & Thomas (1807) Her husband, Iohn (1844) |
Sarah Andrews (no date) In English and Spanish see below |
| Sarah Andrews |
Sarah Andrews was presumable born in Market Weighton in 1774. At some point, she became the housekeeper to General Francisco de Miranda and they later married. This was likely when he was living in London after his involvement in the French Revolution. I do not know the date of her death or where she was buried, although this was presumably in Venezuela. What a story she would have been able to tell! Click on the link of the General to find more information. The General himself was arrested and spend the last years of his life in a Spanish prison being buried in a mass grave. An empty tomb awaits him in Venezuela. |
| Pevsner: Yorkshire: York and the East Riding |
I was pleased to see that all the above monuments - with a little information about them - are included in the above volume. The would never have been the case in the original volume and I note that this particular volume has been revised by David Neave, who is a senior lecturer in history at the University of Hull and takes a more topographical approach. A welcomed change. |

| Pevsner (revised
David Neave) writes 'the ledger stones to Hugh Montgomery
(1748) Barbara Montgomery (1747) have a curious rhyming
inscriptions.' The former must refer to the stone above
and his wife presumably has a second stone. I have not
discovered the relationship of the Methams to the Mongomerys to
explain why the stone is shared. To add: 1. James Pinkerton (1781). An Adamesque frieze with scrolled pediment and urn. He was contractor for the Market Weighton canal. 2. John Foster (1816) Urn.

| The Exhumation of Sir Mark Sykes |
Sir Mark had been buried in a lead lined coffin in the churchyard at Sledmere. It was believed that such a coffin would help to slow down decomposition of the body and preserve the H1N1 virus intact, so a team of virologists lead by John Oxford applied for permission to the Diocese of York for exhumation of the body. They intended to make the study under laboratory condition and to discover whether Sir Mark's death was caused by the virus itself, by a concurrent virus and bacterial infection, of by a cytokine storm in which the virus triggers an abnormal and excessive immune response with the immune system turning on and destroying the human host itself. It was hoped that all of this would help in prevention and treatment in the event of a further pandemic. Permission was generously given for this exhumation by living members of Sir Mark's family and, after a two year process, permission was finally gained form the Diocese of York. The exhumation took place in 2008. However the researchers were to be disappointed: the coffin had split owing to the weight of soil on it and the body was badly decomposed. The coffin was allowed to remain in situ and samples of lung and brain tissue were removed through the split. Soon afterwards the grave was refilled. I have not found a report on the results of this study. |
