#MonumentsMonday tomb with a couple in Elizabethan dress in St James Great Packington. As the church was built in 1789 to replace an older building, one assumes the tomb came from there. #ChurchMonuments

The line up of weepers on #Elizabethan Judge, Sir John Popham’s (d 1607) monument in Wellington, Somerset has his 6 daughters wearing ruffs and 3 other women with less fancy neck gear, thought to be serving maids. Unusual?

Splendidly decorative monument to Richard Mompesson
@salisburycathedral.bsky.social is rather more colourful than he was it seems.
MP for Devizes, knighted 1603 by James I for minor services, he apparently made little further impact. Richard's effigy lies w 3rd wife Katherine.
