Cornwood Devon
The altar in the south Slade Chapel is formed by a table tomb with strapwork and now blank shields, previously against the south wall. It has no name or inscription but is believed to be in memory of Philip Cole who died in 1596. He was the first husband of Joane, daughter of Thomas Williams of Stowford, Speaker of the House of Commons in the reign of Elizabeth I, to whom there is a memorial in Harford church.
Joane married again but desired to be buried here with him . Her executors erected a framework of stone on the south wall of the Chapel about the tomb enclosing two kneeling figures in the dress of the time representing Joane and Philip. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/54U22H34c7
(Slade Chapel also contains memorials to the families associated with the house & manor of Slade, especially the Cole family who lived there from the time of Henry IV until the early 17c after which it passed successively to the Savery, Spurrell, Pode and Martin families, the two latter being commemorated by memorial plaques. The Podes are also commemorated by some tablets on the south wall of the chancel)
