Tailer's Family - journeying!
Project: Gloucestershire - Tewkesbury, with Worcestershire - Upton-upon-Severn.
No. 3 - 5: Exploring - the Abbey Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire .
Trinity Chapel
A curious feature in the chapel is the figure of Lord Despenser under a canopy on the top of the chapel, kneeling in prayer, with his face turned towards the high altar. The canopy is very rich, supported by four slender shafts, and further enriched with carved pinnacles. The figure is probably unique, in such a position. It is represented as wearing the martial equipment that was usual towards the end of the fourteenth century.
