Al Simmons, (Spawn) era um soldado a serviço do governo norte-americano, que cumpria todo tipo de tarefas perigosas em território doméstico e no exterior. Seguindo ordens de seu superior Jason Wynn, Simmons era escalado principalmente para missões de execução. Tornou-se herói nacional ao salvar o presidente americano de um atentado.
Entretanto, Al Simmons começou a se tornar um incômodo para Wynn a partir do momento que passou a questionar suas missões. Quando tais questionamentos se tornaram intoleráveis, Simmons foi traído e morto durante uma missão.
Por seus crimes e sua vida de assassino executor, Simmons foi enviado ao inferno. No oitavo círculo fez um pacto com o demônio Malebolgia para voltar à Terra e poder ver sua esposa (Al era extremamente apaixonado por sua esposa, Wanda Blake). Todavia, o pacto incluía a obrigação de Al se tornar um Spawn, um soldado do inferno vestindo um traje simbionte à serviço do demônio, que Malebólgia costuma criar com intervalos de 50 anos (pois a criação de tais soldados consome seu poder) para liderar suas forças no Armagedon. Quando Spawn voltou a Terra, 5 anos haviam se passado e Wanda estava casada com o antigo melhor amigo de Al, Terry Fitzgerald. Confuso por sua nova e inesperada existência como Spawn (que incluía uma pele completamente queimada e feições irreconhecíveis), Al sofre ao ver Wanda com seu velho amigo. Pior ainda: ela tinha com este uma filha chamada Cyan, o que deixou Al ainda mais arrasado, pelo fato de ter sido estéril e portanto não poder ter dado uma filha à Wanda quando era vivo (posteriormente, Wanda teria gêmeos, em uma situação nada natural). Nesse meio tempo, passou a ser atormentado pelo Violador um demônio mandado para confundi-lo e colocá-lo no caminho do mal.
A partir daí, Spawn passa a viver nos becos de Nova York, numa região conhecida por Cidade dos Ratos. Lá o herói faz amizade com os mendigos que vivem nos becos, entre eles Botas, apaixonado por filmes de faroeste e por suas botas achadas no lixo. Posteriormente, Botas revelar-se-ia um anjo chamado Bellazikkal. Outro amigo de Spawn foi Cagliostro, um velho sempre envolto de mistério e que sabia muitas coisas sobre o Céu, o Inferno, Malebólgia, etc. Durante muito tempo o passado de Cagliostro foi um mistério, porém seria revelado que Cagliostro é na verdade Caim, filho de Adão, assassino de seu irmão Abel. Por ter sido o primeiro assassino da história, Cagliostro tornou-se o primeiro Spawn, que ainda resiste graças a uma ínfima dose de Necroplasma que ainda lhe resta. E foi com a ajuda deste 'Spawn aposentado' que Simmons aprendeu a controlar seus poderes infernais, com os quais derrotou a Caçadora de Spawns Ângela pela primeira vez, quando a mesma invadiu os becos para matar Spawn antes que seus poderes se desenvolvessem mais. Ângela trairia o céu se uniria a Spawn posteriormente.
Além de Ângela, Spawn enfretaria outros envidos do paraíso, como o Redentor, também conhecido como Anti-Spawn. O Redentor tem similaridades evidentes com a cria do Inferno, por exemplo : ambos são escolhidos entre humanos, recebem doses equivalentes de poder, e assumiram diversas formas durante as eras.
O pior inimigo de Spawn foi provavelmente Mammon, um dos Esquecidos, uma tribo de anjos que não lutou por Deus e nem por Lúcifer quando este se rebelou no Paraíso. Mammon porém, resolveu se juntar ao inferno, onde iniciou uma escalada de poder gigantesca. Seus planos consisitiam em tomar o trono do Céu. Mammon descobriu que Deus não estava mais lá, e pretendia usurpar o trono do Criador e refazer o universo. Mammon então procurou adiantar um evento chamado Armagedon.

Q.& A. | DMITRI NABOKOV
His Father’s Siren, Still Singing
By STEVE COATES (NY Times 5-5-08)
BEFORE Vladimir Nabokov, the author of “Lolita,” “Pale Fire,” “Speak, Memory” and other masterworks, died in Montreux, Switzerland, in July 1977, he had been hard at work on another novel. The previous December, he told The New York Times that the “not quite finished manuscript” was called “The Original of Laura,” that it had already been “completed in my mind” and that during a recent hospital stay, “in my diurnal delirium,” he had “kept reading it aloud to a small dream audience in a walled garden.” Shortly afterward, Nabokov’s editor at McGraw-Hill revealed that the author was about to do the actual writing, in pencil on 3-by-5-inch index cards (Nabokov never worked with a typewriter). Then, in words parroted by the editor, Nabokov would “deal himself a novel.”
Nabokov, however, was able to build only part of the complete deck — 138 index cards, with many erasures and much emendation — before falling ill for the last time. Known as an artistic perfectionist and a literary purist, he left behind instructions that the cards were to be destroyed. But neither his wife, Véra, nor his son, Dmitri, now nearly 74, could bring themselves to carry out Nabokov’s injunction. Since Véra’s death in 1991, Dmitri — who was also a translator of his father’s early work and is now his literary executor — had by some accounts been wrestling mightily with the question of whether to follow his father’s wishes and consign the cards to the flames, or to preserve the manuscript for posterity.
The last work of a modern master, however fragmentary, is a matter of public interest and scholarly importance. The nuances of “Laura” and her fate have been hotly debated on bookish Web sites and elsewhere, with Tom Stoppard, for example, calling for the matches and John Banville urging clemency in The Times of London. Now, Dmitri Nabokov has announced that “Laura” will indeed be published, and suggests in a Q. and A. conducted by e-mail with the Week in Review that, in fact, her peril has been exaggerated. STEVE COATES
•
It’s been three decades since your father’s death. Why did it take you so long to decide the fate of “Laura”, and how did you come to your final decision? How difficult has it been?
In the words of one blogger, 30 years is tantamount to eternity in the given context, which would absolve me from any disobedience of my father’s wishes. More seriously, it did not take me 30 years to come to a decision with regard to burning the manuscript. I had never imagined myself as a “literary arsonist.” I also recalled, parenthetically, that when my father was asked, not very long before his death, what three books he considered indispensable, he named them in climactic order, concluding with “The Original of Laura” — could he have ever seriously contemplated its destruction?
It took the passing of time, the input of a few good advisers, and, above all, some concentrated thinking on my part, for the idea to crystallize of what exactly to do with the precious cards. Safekeeping, no matter how secure, would never guarantee their permanent immunity from revelation. To publish, then, but how?
How do you respond to those who suspect a financial motivation?
It’s true that my wheelchair requires some costly modifications to fit into the trunk of a Maserati coupe.
Why would your father have wanted “Laura” destroyed?
In a calmer moment, if he were no longer in a race against death to complete the work, I think, sincerely, that he would not. By the same token, if one wants to finish something before dying, one perseveres to the utmost, rather than destroying it. This should be an obvious answer to a rather fatuous question some have posed: Why didn’t he burn it well ahead of time and have done with it?
Your mother didn’t have the heart to burn it either. There’s a famous story about how she stopped your father from burning his manuscript of “Lolita.”
It was an entirely different situation. What my father was carrying to the incinerator was a draft of the completed work, which the publishers feared and, he strongly suspected, the public was bound to misconstrue. At that stage, the working title was “Juanita Dark.” Had she been incinerated, even if not at the stake, she would have become a latter-day Juanita d’Arc.
You have guarded this manuscript very closely. How many people now have seen it, or have direct knowledge of its contents?
Excluding those present at my father’s oneiric reading, five or six.
It is said to involve a corpulent scholar married to a wildly promiscuous woman named Flora; is that accurate?
So far so good.
Can you offer any other tidbits?
Here are a couple of lines I have previously quoted to no one: “A process of self-obliteration conducted by an effort of the will. Pleasure bordering on almost unendurable ecstasy. ...”
How long will it be? I recently reread the very moving “Mary,” your father’s first novel. It’s only a little over 100 pages.
That is a good approximation of the “Laura” volume’s total length.
Would you describe “Laura” more as an outline, or as fragmentary? I mean, are there portions that are more or less finished? I know your father described his method as assembling sections of a puzzle.
Or picking up the cards and dealing himself a novel. I am afraid that the situation is so unusual that I cannot be specific, other than to say that, in addition to the principal portion, there is much else that appears complete.
Even with “Laura” in her present state, Brian Boyd, your father’s biographer, has said the book nevertheless contains wonderful, boundary-pushing “new fictional devices.” Who might appreciate the novel most? Scholars? Readers? Both?
It took Brian quite some time to arrive at that conclusion and I am glad that he did, for it coincides with my own assessment.
My father once said that his ideal reader was the one he saw in his shaving mirror in the morning. To answer your question more pointedly, I would not divide prospective consumers of this work by category, but rather by their eye for image and the capacity of their spine to tingle.
The index cards are a well-known compositional technique of your father’s, which he immortalized in “Pale Fire.” Would you consider publishing a facsimile of the cards themselves?
Yes.
What place does “Laura” hold in your heart? You’ve lived with her for many years. Does she affect the way you see any of your father’s other novels?
She has been a capricious concubine. I am sure she is glad for the permission to survive and — why not? — to affect my vision.

The first Ida Rentoul Outhwaite Children's Library Stained Glass Window, "Regatta" is taken from the story "Serana: The Bush Fairy", from the book "Fairyland", published by A. and C. Black in London in 1926. The original illustration was executed in pen and ink, so it is brought to colourful life in the pink, brown, green and golden yellow stained glass panel. Juvenile faeries, both male and female, naughty pixies and frogs ride down a river in everything from canoes to improvised vessels made of nutshells, cups and lily pads with paper sails. One of two water police frogs in the bottom right of the panel hooks a naughty pixie as he sails by with his silver topped cane, making the whole scene quite a chaotic one. The faerie girls all wear contemporary 1920s sun dresses, and have either fashionable Marcelle Wave or bobbed hairstyles, which is contrary to the little boy faerie, who seems to have what we may consider to be more traditional faerie garb. The faerie girl at the top right of the melee even has a 1920s stub handled parasol to shade her! The canoe rowed by a frog with two girl faeries in it also has a connection to 1920s modernity, with a Chinese lantern hanging from the stern of the boat: a common site on punts at the time.
In 1923 with Fitzroy still very much a working class area of Melbourne with pockets of poverty, the parish of St. Mark the Evangelist decided to address the need of the poor in the inner Melbourne suburb. Architects Gawler and Drummond were commissioned to design a two storey red brick Social Settlement Building. It was opened in 1926 by the Vicar of St. Mark the Evangelist, the Reverend Robert G. Nichols (known affectionately amongst the parish as Brother Bill). Known today as the Community Centre, the St. Mark the Evangelist Social Settlements Building looks out onto George Street and also across the St. Mark the Evangelist's forecourt. When it opened, the Social Settlement Building's facilities included a gymnasium, club rooms and children's library.
Opened in 1926, the children's library, which was situated in the corner room of the Social Settlements Building, is believed to be the first known free dedicated children's library in Victoria. The library was given to the children of Fitzroy by Mrs. T. Hackett, in memory of her late husband. The library contained over 3,000 books, as well as children's magazines and even comics. The Social Settlements Building was only erected because Brother Bill organised the commitment of £1,000.00 each from various wealthy businessmen and philanthropists around Melbourne. Mrs Hackett's contribution was the library of £1,000.00 worth of books. Another internationally famous resident of the neighbourhood, Australian children's book illustrator Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, then at the zenith of her career, was engaged by the relentless Brother Bill to create something for the library. Ida donated four stained glass windows each with a hand-painted panel executed by her, based upon illustrations from her books, most notably "Elves and Fairies" which was published to great acclaim in Australia and sold internationally in 1916 and "Fairyland" which had been published earlier that year. These four hand painted stained glass windows were equated to the value of £1,000.00, but are priceless today, as they are the only public works of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite ever commissioned that have been executed in this medium. Ida Rentoul Outhwaite was only ever commissioned to create one other public work; a series of four panels executed in watercolour with pencil underdrawing in 1910 for the Prince Henry Hospital's children's wards in Melbourne (now demolished). Of her panels, only two are believed still to be in existence, buried within the hospital archives. The four Ida Rentoul Outhwaite stained glass windows each depict faeries, pixies, Australian native animals and children, taken from her book illustrations. At the time of photographing, the windows - three overlooking George Street and one St. Mark the Evangelist's forecourt - were located in the community lounge, which served as a drop-in lounge and kitchen for Fitzroy's homeless and marginalised citizens. Today the space has been re-purposed as offices for the Anglicare staff who run the St. Mark's Community Centre, possibly as a way to protect the precious windows from coming to any harm. The only down-side to this is that they are not as easily accessed or viewed as when I photographed them, making my original visit to St. Mark the Evangalist in 2009 extremely fortuitous.
The Ida Rentoul Outhwaite Children's Library Stained Glass Windows are one of Australia's greatest hidden treasures, which seems apt when you consider that the pixies and faeries they depict are also often in hiding when we read about them in children's books and the faerie tales of our childhood. The fact that they are hidden, because it is necessary to enter a little-known and undistinguished building in order to see them, ensures their protection and survival. The windows are unique, not only because they are the only stained glass windows designed and hand-painted by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, but because they are the earliest and only examples of stained glass art in Australia that deals with theme of childhood.
I am indebted to Peter Bourke who ran the St. Mark's Community Centre in 2009 for giving me the privilege of seeing these beautiful and rare windows created by one of my favourite children's book artists on a hot November afternoon, without me having made prior arrangements. I also appreciate him allowing me the opportunity to photograph them in great detail. I will always be grateful to him for such a wonderful and moving experience.
Ida Sherbourne Outhwaite (1888 - 1960) was an Australian children's book illustrator. She was born on the 9th of June 1888 in the inner Melbourne suburb of Carlton. She was the daughter of the of Presbyterian Reverend John Laurence Rentoul and his wife Annie Isobel. Her family was both literary and artistic, and as such, gifted Ida was encouraged from an early age to embrace her talent of drawing. Her elder sister, Annie Rattray Rentoul (1882 - 1978), was likewise encouraged to write, and both would later form a successful partnership. In 1903 six fairy stories written by Annie and illustrated by Ida were published in the ladies' journal "New Idea". The following year the Rentoul sisters collaborated on a book called "Mollie's Bunyip" which was received with instant success because it combined the idea of European faeries, witches and elves and the Australian bush. "Mollie's Staircase" followed in 1906. In 1908 the Rentoul sisters published their first substantial story book, "The Lady of the Blue Beads". On 9 December 1909 Ida married Arthur Grenbry Outhwaite (1875-1938), manager of the Perpetual Executors and Trustees Association of Australia Ltd. (Annie remained unmarried her entire life). After her marriage, Ida was known as Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, but did not publish anything substantial as she established her family and household until part way through the Great War. In 1916 she brought out her first coloured work; "Elves and Fairies", a de luxe edition produced entirely in Australia by Thomas Lothian. The success of the book, with its delicate watercolour plates, was due both to Ida's artistic talent and to the business acumen of her husband, who provided a £400.00 subsidy to ensure a high-quality production and consigned royalties to the Red Cross, thereby encouraging vice-regal patronage. "Elves and Fairies" is still her best known and loved work. Encouraged by her latest success, Ida travelled to Europe after hostilities ended and in 1920 exhibited in Paris and London. The critics compared her to other artists of the golden years of children's illustration such as Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, thus sealing her international success. She signed a contract with British book publishers A. & C. Black who published five books for her over the next decade, including "The Enchanted Forest" (1921), with text by her husband, and, probably the most popular of all the Rentoul sisters' collaborations, "The Little Green Road to Fairyland" (1922). "The Fairyland of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite" (1926), another sumptuous volume, with text by her husband and sister, was less successful. A. & C. Black also produced a number of postcard series using her illustrations from "Elves and Fairies" as well as her other books published by them. In 1930 the last of her books published by A. & C. Black was released, but already times were changing, and the interest in Ida's work was rapidly fading. Angus & Robertson brought out two more books in 1933 and 1935 but they received relatively little attention. Her last two exhibitions, which between 1916 and 1928 were almost annual events, were held in 1933. The Second World War changed the world, and Ida and Annie's work was relegated to a bygone era, shunned and forgotten. Ida suffered the loss of both of her sons during the war, and she spent her last years sharing a flat in Caulfield with her sister, where, survived by her two daughters, she died on 25 June 1960. She did not live to see the resurgence of interest in her work some twenty-five years later, when in 1985, her picture of "The Little Witch" from "Elves and Fairies" was published on an Australian stamp, opening the fairy world of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite to a whole new generation of children and adults alike.

Notes: An albumen print taken by Michelez of an ink wash drawing by Victor Hugo. The drawings were made to be included in “Les Travailleurs de la Mer" a novel by Victor Hugo published in 1866. They were not intended to illustrate the story but rather to represent Hugo's impressions during his exile. The book is dedicated to the island of Guernsey, where Hugo spent 15 years in exile. Hugo uses the setting of a small island community to transmute seemingly mundane events into drama of the highest calibre. Les Travailleurs de la Mer is set just after the Napoleonic Wars and deals with the impact of the Industrial Revolution upon the island. The story concerns a Guernsey man named Gilliatt, a social outcast who falls in love with Deruchette, the niece of a local shipowner, Mess Lethierry. When Lethierry's ship is wrecked on the Roches Douvres, a perilous reef, Deruchette promises to marry whoever can salvage the ship's steam engine. Gilliatt eagerly volunteers, and the story follows his physical trials and tribulations (which include a battle with a Pieuvre, an octopus), as well as the undeserved opprobrium of his neighbours.
As Hugo wrote: "At night, when it thunders, if one sees men flying in the red of the clouds and in the trembling of the air, they are the sarregousets. A woman who lives in Grand-Mielles knows them. One evening when there were sarregousets at a crossroads, this woman shouted to a carter who did not know which road take: "Ask them for directions; they are good-natured people, they are very civil people to talk to the world about". He it's a good bet that this woman is a witch."
After Napoleon III coup on 2 December 1851 and his failed attempt to organize the Republican resistance, Hugo escaped on 11 December by train from Paris to Brussels, dressed as a printing house worker with fake ID papers under the name of Lanvin. On 9 January 1852, his name is on the main list of “Procrits”. On 5 August 1852, Hugo arrived from Brussels to Jersey, after a
transit in London. Through Edmond Bacot, a photographer from Caen who came to Jersey to support the cause of the outlaws, Hugo set up the “Jersey Workshop” between 1852 and 1855, a photographic studio in the greenhouse of Marine Terrace... photography became a family affair.

What exactly will happen to the deceased homeowner's property depends on many factors. In probate, the executor must pay estate debts before he distributes assets. If the house is heavily mortgaged, or if the estate has no other assets and many debts, the executor may have to sell it to pay off debts.

Rani directed a terrible film on Harry Smith someone I consider to be one of America's most interesting curators and collectors. I intend to write my review of this film at the NYTimes website. Let's hope a director with some chops steps up and makes a proper film on the man, it's well deserved! Since Rani is the executor of the Harry Smith Archives I hope she will not block someone else from having access to the same body of work as her in order to tell the story of this fascinating individual and the work he created, saved and brought to the attention of many. Unfortunately, this film is not worth anyones time.

I am re-reading the section of Nigel Hamilton's acclaimed three volume biography of British Field Marshall Sir Bernard Law Montgomery that describes how Monty was the chief planner and executor of the D-Day invasion. The segment is in volume two, Master of the Battlefield: Monty's War Years 1942-44. Monty was second in command after General Dwight D. Eisenhower who was Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force.
On June 6, 1944, 156,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy, France to start the liberation of Western Europe. 83,000 British, Canadian and French troops landed at Gold, Juno and Sword beaches as 73,000 US troops simultaneously landed at Omaha and Utah beaches.

The lower picture shows, from right, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, William, Prince of Wales and French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal greeting one of the few remaining Canadian veterans of the D-Day invasion. French President Emmanuel Macron, King Charles III and US President Joe Biden were further along the Normandy coast at another commemorative event where US troops landed 80 years ago.

Church of Simon and St Jude,
Monument to Sir John Pettus †1614 and Bridget Curtis and Sir Augustine Pettus †1613, alabaster. Commissioned by Thomas Pettus, Sir John’s second son, the executor of his will. Unknown, probably Norwich mason, also responsible for the Suckling monuments in St Andrew’s, restored 2007/8.
St Simon and St Jude was declared redundant in the 1890s, and abandoned in the 1930s. Now owned by the Norwich Churches Trust it has been saved from its state of collapse in the 1930s, but the inside has been butchered by the addition of the nave mezzanine. This makes it impossible to appreciate the monument to Sir John and his family, on filling the north wall flanking the chancel arch. Mercifully the late George Plunkett took a full set of photographs of the interior in the 1930s, including the monument (www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/norwichsimonjude/plunkett/plunk...).
The monument rises from an impressive coloured alabaster base, to the Pettus coat of arms flanked by two obelisks. Sir John in his mayoral robes (he was Mayor in 1608) appears to kneel at a prayer desk opposite his wife, Bridget Curtis, although there is no sign of their legs. Blomefield writing in the 18th century mistook the armorials and identified the kneeling figure as Sir Augustine, who, unlike his father, was never Mayor of Norwich. Most of the literature has followed Blomefield, who was corrected by the Norfolk Heraldry Society (information from Tony Sims). Sir John and Lady Bridget are flanked by pilasters; his decorated with lances, hers with pomegranates and other fruit. Their children, two sons and two daughters kneel underneath, while Sir Augustine, who had died under a year before his father, is repeated lying stiffly in his full armour looking out from the monument, his head propped on his right arm, holding what could be a gauntlet or drinking horn, showing the fingers of a small hand.
Sir John had moved beyond both the family’s relative humble origins as tailors and local politics when in 1604 he had become the first Norwich Member since 1558 to be elected to two consecutive parliaments. He was active as an MP, while continuing his charitable work in Norwich. At the death of his father he had inherited considerable wealth, as well as the family house on Elm Hill, once extending to the churchyard, now nos. 41-43, and the estate at Rackheath, since at death his moveable goods, which included a substantial armoury of nine guns, were valued at £952 19s. 6d and the house on Elm Hill contained 27 rooms, together with stables for eight horses.

Urie house, Kincardineshire
Alexander Baird of the Gartsherrie family purchased the estate of Urie in Kincardineshire in 1854 from the executors of the late Robert Barclay Allardice. This fine estate is situated near Stonehaven and lies on both banks of the river Cowrie. Alexander Baird built the present house of Urie (as pictured). In 1860 he increased his property by about a thousand acres from Patrick Keith Murray of Dunottar. On his death the property passed to his brother John. He had also purchased the estates of Inshes and Delmore in Inverness-shire and Drumkilbo in Forfarshire.
Penny's Almshouses
These 12 almshouse were founded in 1720 by William Penny. They were built by the executors of his will. They have the inscription "FORGET NOT/ THE CONGREGATION /OF THY POOR". William Penny (1646 - 1716) occupied various positions on the Town Council and was three times Mayor of Lancaster. When King Street was widened in the early 20th century the two almshouses nearest the road were demolished, the screen wall rebuilt in its present position, the chapel shortened, and two new almshouses built next to the chapel.

Church of St Peter,
Monument to the ancestors of Edward Atkyns. Marble. Commissioned by Edward Atkyns 1750. South wall of chancel. Possibly by Robert Page to a design by Sir Henry Cheere.
The monument, framed in a Gothic arch with trefoil head, is divided between a cartouche with coat of arms, a long inscription set in a lugged architrave under a decorative scroll and the funerary monument whose lions’ paws rest a black marble plinth. The frame was introduced in emulation of the monument in the south transept of Westminster Abbey, commissioned by Edward Atkyns from Sir Henry Cheere and ready by the 15 December 1746. In his will Atkyns specified that: ‘my executors lay out a sum of money not less than two hundred pounds and not more than three hundred in erecting a monument of myself and my ancestors in the chancel of the Parish church at Ketteringham, both in model, size and inscription as near as conveniently be (to that in Westminster Abbey) and that I desire that notice may be taken in the monument in Westminster Abbey that another one is set up in Ketteringham church and to take notice on both monuments that they were erected out of the veneration and regard that I had for the memory of my ancestors.’
The ancestors mentioned in the main inscription on both monuments were:
Sir Edward Atkyns †1669, a Baron of the Exchequer;
Sir Robert †1709, his eldest son, Chief Baron of the Exchequer and Speaker of the House of Lords;
Sir Edward †1698, his youngest son, also Chief Baron of the Exchequer, who retired to Norfolk in the (Cromwellian) revolution;
Sir Robert eldest son of the Sir Robert † 1709, a gentleman scholar, author of a History of Gloucestershire, who died in 1711.
Finally a tablet on the sarcophagus of both added: ‘In memory of his ancestors, who have so honourably presided in the Courts of Justice in Westminster Hall, EDWARD ATYKYNS Esqr. late of Ketteringham in Norfolk, second son of the last named Sir Edward, caused this monument to be erected. He died January the 20th 1750 aged 79 years.’
Atkyns had bought Ketteringham Hall from Henry Heron (ca. 1675-1730) who had inherited the Hall through his marriage to Abigail, Sir William Heveningham’s daughter. The sale was probably around 1695, when Heron inherited his father’s estate of Cressy Hall, Lincolnshire in.
The attribution of the Ketteringham monument remains open. There is no doubt that the monument in Westminster Abbey is by Henry Cheere, two of Cheere’s drawings for it were sold at Christies Dec. 1982 lot 104, but, with the exception of Matthew Craske (The Silent Rhetoric of the Body. A History of Monumental Sculpture and Commemorative Art in England, 1720-1770, 2007, 198-201 and footnotes 30 and 31 on p.467), who believes both monuments are by Cheere, doubts remain and it has been attributed, notably by Pevsner, to the Norwich sculptor Robert Page. The argument was well summed up by Jon Bayliss who noted that the framing arch at Ketteringham, intended to echo that at Westminster Abbey, does not resemble other more up-to frames by Cheere. The Abbey monument rests on four legs, rather than two lion paws, whose ‘furry cuffs’ have no parallels in other comparable monuments. He offered as a possible explanation is that after his work for the Churchman family in St Giles, Cheere was aware that the city had a sculptor in the shape of Robert Page who was capable of matching the standards expected in his own workshop and that he could sub-contract the Atkyns monument to Page.
Matthew Craske, cited above, notes that the family memorial belongs with a group of commissions ‘For great old men planning their death with no sons to inherit, one of the problems was to ensure that their elected heir acted as instructed.’ He interprets the choice of texts with a quote from another scholar working on the same era, Sheerer West: ‘Tory families in particular were intent upon proving their relationship with the past…(and that) their histories sought to prove that their subjects had a long association with the Royal family both before and following the civil war.’

Church of St. Mary,
Monument to Mrs Everilda Thornhill †1743, and members of her family. Marble, above north arcading of central aisle. Commissioned by the executors of her will on her orders.
The inscription is illegible, but clarified in the photographs. Everilda Thornhill was a spinster from Burnham, who died aged 44. The other members of her family included in the inscription, and buried in a vault nearby, were: her mother, Ann Thornhill †1724; her uncle Thomas Harris †1726; and her brother John Thornhill †1741.
The inscription, under an angel head is set under a broken pediment, with (presumably) the now illegible family coat of arms. It is framed by dark, doubled, Corinthian piers, above gadrooning and a double curved apron. The elegant monument is not signed (or if it had been the signature is now lost) but close to, but more complex than, contemporary monuments by Norwich sculptors, notably John Ivory’s monument to Mary Slater †1748 at Hingham.

An elaborate wall-monument to Jane Nevill, Lady Dethick, occupies the central position on the south wall. It is of marble, the mouldings gilded, and consists of a central arch over the inscription, on each side of which two detached columns of black marble support a small projecting cornice, which overshadows the whole. Two gilded brackets are placed under the columns, & between them is a small panel with the name of the executor who erected the monument. The central inscription is in bold capitals and is given below. Above the caps of the columns, which are gilded and ornamented with egg-and-dart carving, is a gilt rose.
A coat of arms stands in a circle over the cornice, but (according to Lysons) they are not the arms of Lady Dethick, for she was a Duncomb of Buckinghamshire. She married as her second husband Alex. Nevill, Esq. The arms, according to Lysons, are: Quarterly of nine—
