The angels look rather like portraits of 20th century children:
perhaps they were. Note the (difficult to see) relief on the tomb chest. Composer, born in Chile of American parents as Amelia Rowe Ward but became a British citizan. Buried in the church yard. Her husband was a surgeon and brigadier with the delighful name of Woodforde Woodforde-Finden |

| Major General John Lambert |
John Lambert (1619- 1684) was an English Parliamentary General and politician. He was born in Colton Hall, Kirkby Malham in the West Riding of Yorkshire.  Early
in the first stage of the
War of the Three Kingdoms, he was an active commander
in the northern campaigns, playing a notable part in the Battle
of Marston Moor. By 1645 he was temporarily in charge of the
Northern Army when Sir Thomas Fairfax went south and before the
appointment of Sydenham Poyntz.With the war ended in the north,
in Jan. 1646 Lambert given Montague’s regiment of foot (after
the latter resignation) in the New Model Army and served in the
closing stages of the campaign in south-west England. He was
prominent in army politics and in summer 1647 was sent
north to restore order and to command the Northern Army.
He played an important part in the second civil war, ensuring
the security of Yorkshire, containing Scottish-royalist forces
in Cumberland and Lancashire and, having joined Cromwell,
prominent in the battle and wider campaign of Preston.In 1650-51 was Major-General and second-in-command to Cromwell in the invasion of Scotland, providing the tactics and leading the attack and victory at Dunbar and also leading the assault at Inverkeithing in summer 1651 which enabled Cromwell to throw most of his army across the Firth of Forth. His further activity in pursuit of the Scottish-royalists and in the battle and wider campaign of Worcester confirmed his military skill. He did not take part in the trial of King Charles, nor did he sign the death warrant, being in the North of England at this time. Political advance followed and, as a key supporter of Oliver Cromwell and an architect of the Protectorate, his standing was probably second only to Cromwell for much of the Protectorate, until he lost his military and political offices – though not his by now extensive properties – in spring 1657 following his opposition to kingship and to the new oath of allegiance. He regained senior military command and some political standing under the restored Rump in 1659 and played the leading role in crushing the Booth Rising in Cheshire, but he was on the losing side in the brief power struggle of winter 1659-60, failing to prevent Monck moving south and taking control of events, was under arrest. He was initially imprisoned in the Tower of London, but escaped after one month in an attempt to prevent the Restoration. Unfortunately times had now changed and John Lambert, who had climbed so high, finally failed. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, initially in pleasant enough circumstances on the Island of Guernsey but finally on the not so pleasant Drake's Island in Plymouth South. He died during the winter of 1683-84 after twenty four years in prison. He was buried in St Andrew's church in Plymouth but there is now no contemporary grave or monument. |
