gave himself to religion - Crich Derbyshire
Lying under a stone arch is William de Wakebridge 1369 flic.kr/p/MEuiqw one of the greatest benefactors of the church, lived in Wakebridge manor house nearby. He built a chapel at his manor house sometime between 1349 - 1368 when he lost most of his family to the Great Plague, adorning it in a most costly manner and furnished it with a chaplain..
A "valiant knight" he distinguished himself in the wars with France. He also sat in the parliaments of Edward ll, but after the Black Death killed within 3 months in 1349, his wife, father, 3 brothers (Nicholas, Robert & John) , 2 sisters (Joan & Margaret) and a sister in law Elizabeth, he gave himself to religion rather than worldly affairs, and founded 2 chantries here. One chantry in the east end of the north aisle was " for God's service, and maintaining of poor folk," founded in 1350,in honour of St. Nicholas and St. Catherine +++; The other at the end of the south aisle was founded in 1361 by Sir William, Richard de Chesterfield & Richard de Tissington in honour of the Virgin Mary. The income of the former was valued in 1547 at £12. 4s. 41/2d. per annum; the other at £6. 3s. 4d. . He also co-founded another chantry in Nottinghamshire and also a fine chapell at Wakebridge, furnishing with orgayne and other costly devises.' for his family and retainers at Wakebridge. This chapel was furnished on a generous scale; an inventory of its goods for the year 1368 included a portifer or breviary for the lord of Wakebridgc's use, and a manual de usu Lincolnie. The considerable remains of this chapel were cleared away in the 1840s when the east window was moved into the grounds of Lea Hurst, home of Florence Nightingale

Sir William de Wakebridge built a chapel at his manor house
at Wakebridge, garnished with an " orgayne and other costly
devises." An inventory of the goods of this chapel, as given in the Crich Chartulary, dated 1368 :
"Memorandum de ornamentis capelle de Wakebrugge. In primis j haire, Et ij alterclothez cum frontellis bonis, Et j tapeta ad pendeudum ante altare, Et ij peria de Ridel* cum apparat', Et ij vestimenta festivales, Et j vestimeiitum feriale, Et j calix, Et j missale, Et alind missale vetus, Et j portiforium, Etj psalterium, Et iij coporalia cum cases, Et j tabula depicta, Et j portiforium
quo dominus utitur, Et j mauuale de usu Lincolnie."
* The Eidels (Fr. rideaux) were the curtains which fenced in the back and sides of the altar.
The " use " or ritual of Lincoln seems to have generally prevailed in the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield. There were five distinct uses in England York, Lincoln, Hereford, Bangor, and Salisbury. That of Lincoln prevailed also in many parts of
Scotland. The Sarum use was prescribed for the whole province of Canterbury in 1541, hence arose the general adoption of red for altar cloths, as red was the ordinary
colour of the Salisbury rite. www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/j-charles-john-charles-cox...
