The great east window of the chantry. It was commissioned by Richard Beauchamp's will executors to John Prudde of Westminster, Henry VIs royal glazier for the chapels completion in 1463.
It was dictated that foreign strong glass should be used and that the colours should be fine blue, yellow, red, sanguine, purple and violet. As little green, white and black as possible to be used.
Prudde was to be paid 2 shillings a foot - double to standard cost of the most expensive glass at the time, and the window cost in total £100.
In 1643 the chapel was badly vandelised, and although the destruction of some of the tombs was widely written about the glass was not mentioned, although it is fair to assume that it was at this time it suffered destruction.
The re-arrangement certainly dates back to 1787 but probably goes back to 1708.
Of the family figures that originally adorned the bottom row, only Richard Beauchamp remains. His wives and daughters have gone, although Richards head seems female and so was probably Elizabeth Berkeley.s or one of their daughters who would have been on the right of him. The saints are original, but mostly not in their original places. The mottos and the gloria in excelsis are as they would have originally been,

Monumento é uma homenagem ao arquiteto Ramos de Azevedo e que também é conhecido como Monumento ao Progresso. Trata-se de um conjunto escultório executado pelo escultor Galileo Emendabili, também executor do obelisco do Ibirapuera. Foi inaugurado em 1934 após seis anos de trabalho, na Avenida Tiradentes em frente ao edifício da Pinacoteca do Estado. Por causa das obras do metrô, o monumento foi desmontado em 1967 e depois transferido para a Cidade Universitária, em 1973, na praça que leva seu nome, em frente ao IPT e à Escola Politécnica.
Julgamento do assassinato dos ativistas José Cláudio e Maria dos Espírito Santo, que foram mortos em março de 2011 em Nova Ipixuna. O resultado do júri, que aconteceu nos dias 03 e 04 de abril, foi a condenação dos executores Alberto Lopes e Lindonjonson Silva, e absolvição de José Rodrigues, acusado de ser o mandante do crime. A ação provocou revolta nos familiares e movimentos agrários que acompanhavam o caso em vigília no Fórum de Marabá (PA).

He m Elizabeth c 1619 daughter of grocer Edmund Thurston ++ to whom Thomas was apprenticed . Their house and shop was in Tombland (on the corner of Tombland and Wensum Street, now part of the Maid’s Head Hotel)
He took over his father in law's grocery business and prospered, becoming a freeman of Norwich in 1573. and took an active role in city life, serving as Sheriff, Mayor and Speaker of the Council. He was elected mayor in 1611, and as was usual there was a pageant and firework display. Sadly the cord suspended with fireworks collapsed causing the deaths of 33 bystanders. The occasion was described by a local catholic commentator as "a scourge to that wicked citie and puritan mayor .. being Anguish did portend anguish and sorrow to the people" Thereafter fireworks were banned from Guildhall feasts

Thomas also bequeathed a property in Fishergate to the Corporation to be used as a hostel "for the keeping and bringing up and teaching of very poor children" which was opened in 1621 - Boys were first to be admitted, with girls following some years later. It still survives www.anguishseducationalfoundation.org.uk/about-us/ There was also a foundling hospital begun in 1618 where annual sermon was to be preached on its founders day.
Thomas was certainly a Calvinist if not a puritan - The fireworks episode must have preyed on his mind as his will states he died in the assurance that Christ "hath of his own free will and greate mean fully paide and satisfied the wrath of God the Father due unto me for my synne. And that through his blessed merit, death and passion I shall have and enjoy the fruition and benefit of everlasting life to joyn with Him in eternall joy and happiness among the elect children of God for ever" - Church of St George Tombland Norwich , Norfolk

13c - 15c Church of St Botolph Barford Norfolk- 13c Chancel, Aisless nave rebuilt c1470 along with the porch. - Agnes wife of Robert Fulbourn of Carleton Fourhowe by her will of 1397 made a bequest to the building of a "steeple" at Barford - John Dunston made a similar bequest in his 1399 will probably both made toward heightening the structure to accommodate the 3 bells made by William Norwich. There is now only 1 bell after safety problems with the tower and bellframe in 20c.
(Barford derives from the old name Barrowford - there was a medieval bridge here where a ford led to the "barrows" situated 2 miles away at Kimberley - Thomas Bachcroft in his will directed his executors to rebuild the bridge and causeway in 1501 )

Mrs. Julia Utten Browne & Cautley papers, letter to Pomeroy & Son, Wymondham, Norfolk from Whites & Co 28 Budge Row, Cannon Street, E.C. re Harry Lawrence dated 15th November 1913
He was Harry Edgar Lawrence of 45 Essex Street, City of London, a Cousin of Julia Utten Browne whom she had appointed a Executor/Trustee of her will following the death of her husband in 1903.
Looking east past one of two 17c parish chests to the north chapel built as a chantry by Philip Copleston and his brother Walter c 1460 in memory of their father John who died in 1458, and lived at Coplestone House in this parish, which was the family residence for several centuries.
They most probably were executors of their father’s will and did this at his posthumous request. In his will of 18th October 1858 John Coplestone had requested burial in St. Katherine’s aisle here next to his wife Elizabeth, who had died the previous year. The well-worn ledger stone can still be viewed in the aisle. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/wc5x79SM8Z
By the latter half of the 16c the chapel became the Coplestone family pew and for their comfort a fireplace (now boarded up) was installed, the original stone chimney still remains on the outer walls.
The most striking features are the beautiful screen and the ancient prie-dieu known as the Copleston desk carved in 1472 for the marriage of Philip Coplestone and Anne Bonville, an heiress from her maternal grandmother Leva Gorges , this marriage greatly boosting the Coplestone coffers, and which has the Copleston & Gorges coats of arms. The desk is now used at the entrance to the chancel by the vicar. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/o4gY3V44qo
Documentary references to the Copleston family go back as far as 1275, but there is ample evidence to show that the family was here long before. Three generations previously held the same lands under the name of St Vedest , before they too the name Copleston from the property they lived in where stands the ancient Copleston Cross mentioned in a Saxon charter of 974 AD
The Jacobean Communion Table, once the chancel altar, was made by Leonard Reeve at a cost of 19s in 1640.

Draft Will of Mary Ann Cuttler, Ramsgate, Kent, 5th June 1860.
Executor, brother, John Cutler. Beneficaries, brother John Cutler and sister Eliza Cutler.
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.

Will of "Jane, Ladie Scargill, of Leade Hall "— "That is to sale, firsle and principallie I yelde and bequeathe my soule to Almyghtie God my Creator and Redemer, to that mosle glorious immaculate virgine our ladie Sainte Marie and to all the copanyne in heven and my bodie to bee buried in the psh churche of Whitkirke within the chauntrie quere there besides my saide late

From The Leigh Chronicle, 19 October 1861:
“... JOHN JEFFREYS, General Farm Stock Auctioneer and Valuer, and Horse and Cattle Salesman, respectfully announces that he has been honoured with instructions (by the Executors) to SELL by AUCTION, on Monday next, the 21st, and Tuesday, the 22nd, at Twelve o'clock at Noon each day, on the premises lately occupied by Henry Rose, deceased, “The Manor House”, Seneley-green, Ashton-in-Mackerfield, the whole of the valuable STOCK of twenty-two Cows and Heifers, one fat Cow, one well-bred young prize Bull, six Horses and Colts, four Pigs, in feeding; two store Pigs, several farm Implements, two-horse power upright steam Engine (for churning, &c), with four-horse Boiler, steam Pipes, steam Churn &c; three stacks of white Oats, ten stacks of yellow Poland Oats (containing in the thirteen stacks about 600 thraves), upwards of 250 thraves of Wheat, stack of rye Grass and Clover hay (about 18 tons), two stacks of old meadow Hay (about 40 tons), hay of second crop of clover (about four tons), stack of oat Straw (about five tons), 100 bushels of flukes, 1000 bushels of seedlings and 100 bushels of red seedling Potatoes, two acres of Swede Turnips and Mangold Wurtzel; Household FURNITURE, Dairy Vessels, and other Effects...”
So far as I have been able to discover the above notice is the first documented reference to “The Manor House”, a property believed to date back to the 16th or 17th centuries. Comparison between the landholdings of Henry Rose in the 1838 Tithe Apportionment Schedule (National Archives, ref. IR 29/18/18) and the field names mentioned in the lease granted to the Gerards' Land Agent, Randolph Penswick, on 4 May 1799 (Lancashire Archives ref. DDGE(E) 127) confirms that the latter included the former as well as some neighbouring parcels of land which, by 1838, were held under a separate lease from 12th Baronet Sir John Gerard.
Whether the sale actually went ahead on 21 and 22 October 1861 is unclear, but the 1871 census (National Archives ref. RG10/3898) found Henry Rose's widowed daughter-in-law, Elizabeth at the Manor House. By now the acreage had increased from the previous 62 in Henry's time to 92 acres. Elizabeth Rose continued farming at Manor House Farm until her death, aged 80, in 1897. The Roses were followed by the Fairhursts and (from c.1920) the Phythians. The adjoining premises had in the meanwhile been home to the Cunliffe (until1905), Clarkson (c.1909-1920), Wright (from c.1920) and Thomas families.
Some of The Manor House's 20th century residents are included on the selection of photographs above.
Built 1937-1940 in Currie St, first stage completed Nov 1938, second stage opened 5 Apr 1940, architects Woods, Bagot, Laybourne Smith & Irwin, replacing earlier building built 1888, extended 1954. Rear of building replaced 1999 by 7 level office space. Elders moved 2015 to Grenfell St, building retaining its name Elder House, sold 2018.
Alexander Elder arrived 1839, set up as general & commission agent and metal broker, joined by brothers William & George, later all three returned to London & Scotland. Thomas Elder arrived 1854, formed a partnership with Edward Stirling, Robert Barr Smith and John Taylor, known as Elder, Stirling & Co. When Stirling and Taylor retired in 1863, Thomas Elder and Robert Barr Smith set up Elder, Smith & Co. In 1882 Elders Wool & Produce Co Ltd was established, merged 1888. Elder's Trustee and Executor Co Ltd founded 1910. Further mergers, including Goldsbrough Mort 1963.

Ltd., and Elder's Trustee and Executor Co., Ltd. Elder House with equipment will cost about £150,000.” [News 25 Feb 1937]
“Demolition of the existing buildings to make way for the new Elder House will begin on Monday.” [News 16 Jul 1937]
“Crossing Currie street we were confronted by the paddock caused by the demolition of Elder's Trustee and Agency Coy. building, once the White Horse Hotel.” [Advertiser 11 Aug 1937]

“A start has been made on the demolition of the old Elder House in Currie street, which will make way for the second portion of the big new building which will house both Elder, Smith and Co.. Ltd., and Elder's Trustee and Executor Co.. Ltd. The first section of the £130,000 building scheme was recently completed. Although intended ultimately for the Trustee Co., it will be occupied by Elder, Smith & Co. until the second section is finished. The Trustee Co. is at present using offices in North terrace.” [News 4 Nov 1938]
“Elder, Smith & Co. Limited, to mark the completion this year of the centenary of the firm. . . For three-quarters of a century, at least, the prosperity of South Australia rested largely on the wealth derived from its flocks, herds, and mines.

Thomas Moore was a nineteenth century Irish poet, bard, biographer and general "literateur." He was also the literary executor of Lord Byron, responsible for burning the poet's memoirs because he deemed them to be too scandalous. Generally Moore is regarded as the Irish equivalent of Robbie Burns.
But the people of Dublin never cared for this sculpture of him - even though the artist Christopher Moore (1790-1863) was Irish himself, and won the commission through a public competion.
The statue figures in one of the episodes in James Joyce's "Ulysses." In the 'Lestrygonians' section, Leopold Bloom "crossed under Tommy Moore's rougish finger." As he does he considers the fact that they built the statue over Dublin's largest public urinal. "They did right to put him over a urinal: meeting of the waters." ["Meeting of the Waters" was the name of one of Moore's most famous verses.]

According to J. Stephan Edwards, Ph.D.: Lady Jane Dacre of Lanercost, a sixteenth-century Scotswoman descended from the wealthy Carlisle family, married into the Dacre family late in her life. Prior to that, she had what has been described as a “liaison” with Sir John Lowther, bearing him a daughter and eventually serving as his executor upon his death in 1553. Their relationship seems to have begun in the 1540s, precisely the time at which the wood for the boards of the painting has been dated. Well after Lowther’s death, in about 1565, Jane became the third wife of Sir Thomas Dacre of Lanercost, the illegitimate son of Sir Thomas Dacre, second Baron Dacre of Gilsland (d. 1525).
Duneira house and gardens at Mount Macedon.
(Extract from Macedon Ranges cultural heritage and landscape study/Trevor Budge and Associates. 4 v. 1994.).
Henry Suetonius Officer reputedly aquired the Duneira site from
1872-1877 (Blocks 4,5,10,11,14) paying some £84 for 38 acres but
rate listings give Robert Officer as the owner. .
.
Suetonius Henry Officer (1830-1883).
Officer was born in Hullgreen, New Norfolk, Tasmania 1830, the
son of Sir Robert & Lady Officer. He was educated in Edinburgh
with his brother, Charles, and returned to the colonies, seeking
gold in Victoria but eventually settling for pastoralism in
company with his brothers and Charles Miles{ ibid.}. They managed
stations in the Wimmera and the Riverina, James marrying in 1866
and commencing construction of a 20 room homestead at Murray
Downs & Willakool, two adjoining properties fronting the Murray
River. After experimentation with irrigation, via steam pumps and
windmills, he was able to develop extensive orchards and crops. He was also, like his brother, interested in
acclimatisation, having developed an ostrich farm on his property
(Charles was a council member of the Zoological & Acclimatisation
Society for 10 years, president in 1887). .
.
Blighted by illness, Suetonius reputedly moved to Leighwood,
Toorak (Melbourne) in 1881, having erected the first stage of
Duneira at Mount Macedon, but died two years later. However his son, Henry jnr. was
born at South Yarra in 1869 and his next child, Jessie, was born
at Macedon in 1877, indicating that he was in residence at both
places prior to the dates previously supposed..
.
Suetonius probably commissioned the first stage of Duneira to be
erected as a summer house between c1874-6. The architect Levi
Powell is thought to have designed a house for him there around
that date. The first improvements listed on the site were
stables in 1874 when Robert Officer was rated as owning the site. The house was reputedly not occupied regularly
until c1881 when Suetonius moved to Toorak.
However it appears he and his family were in residence at Duneira
by 1877..
.
When Suetonius died in 1883 his wife, Mary Lillias Rigg Officer
(nee Cairns), of Glenbervie, Glenferrie Road, Toorak was the
co-executor of the estate, with merchant Robert Harper; she is
the rate occupier in 1888. Mrs Officer was the
sister of Mrs Robert Harper (Huntly Burn) and Mrs John C lloyd
(Montpelier, later Timsbury): all three houses were reputedly
built in the same period... .
.
The house bricks for the first stage were said to have come from
the Macedon Brick Kiln (once near the Macedon railway station,
set up in c1888-9?) with external walls built in 14" Flemish bond
from slop-moulded bricks (9 inch by 2.1/2). The bricks were reputedly carted
from Macedon by Cogger. The footings were of bluestone
and reputedly dressed sandstone blocks also survive, suggesting
that the first stage was face brick with stone quoins and the
next renovation c1888 added wings and a cement coating to the
whole complex. Floor frames were reputedly supported on stone
dwarf walls and joists were 6x2.1/2 inch jarrah, with flooring
being 6 inch pine}. Seaweed was apparently used for
ceiling insulation..
.
The servants' wing verandah was skillion in form with timber
posts with classical capitals. The main verandah had coupled
posts (rebuilt with single posts) a panelled frieze and slimmer
capitals set just under the frieze rail}. The
balustrade may have been of single cast-iron balusters..
.
Just prior to the sale to the speculator, James Smith Reid in
1890, and during the occupation of Edward Dyer, major additions
were made to the house complex and a reputedly a caretaker's
lodge was placed at the gate (survives, altered c1920s) but this
appears to have been added by Reid in the early 1890s. .
.
The added rooms were reputedly: billiard (32'x24') and dining
rooms, kitchen, servants bathroom, service block with 5 rooms
(engine room, dairy, pantry, store, boiler room, built of
Northcote machine made 9" brickwork). Damp proof coursing was
used in these additions compared to the slate of the first stage
and acetylene gas (engine room) was thought used for lighting
from this period, as reticulated in 1.1.2" mains and 1/2 inch
branches to internal and some external verandah lights.
Cast-iron elaborately detailed water radiators were also used,
with hot water pumped from the boiler room, and later a duplicate
boiler allowed hot water to be reticulated taps in the house{
ibid.}..
.
The description in rate books expands to villa and cottages (on
37 acres) for the first time under Reid in c1893 but the annual
valuation had already peeked in 1888 at £200 in the occupation of
Edward Dyer. An Edward Dyer was listed at that time as a fruiterer in
Burwood Road, Hawthorn..
.
The water supply is from a concrete tank fed by a spring.
Outbuildings include timber clad stables, storerooms,
blacksmith's shop, coachman's room, milking bails, hay shed and a
green house. The stables (extended) were described as having had
a shingled gabled roof (rear skillion) with loft entered via an
external stair at the north end. It had a blacksmith's
shop (altered for garage c1941), carriage and coachman's rooms,
two stores and vertically boarded main doors{ ibid.,p24}. The
milking and hay sheds had hipped roof forms and timber cladding
and frame. The interior was white-washed. The greenhouse
in the secret hedged garden is of a later date, with a timber
frame built up on 11" cavity brickwork walls, with a brick floor
and heated water pipes under each shelf. The boiler is near the
entry..
.
The `Gisborne Gazette' reported on Duneira in 1903 under the
heading of `A Popular Health Resort':.
`Duneira certainly merits a few remarks though beautiful
residences and grounds are by no means rare in that locality..
(when Reid purchased it, it was `little better than a wilderness'
and he had spared no expense to restore it).. After passing the
lodge at the main entrance, a broad serpentine drive leads up to
the house and from there the grounds are laid out in broad
sloping lawns surmounted with choice borders and fringed with
trees which however do not interfere to any great extent with the
view. There is of course no lack of flowers which grow
luxuriantly on the mount but the great feature of Duneira is the
lawns, those open green expanses which delight the eye at all
times of the year. the secret of this perennial verdure is to be
found in the copious water supply with which Macedon is blessed
(spring at rear of house, tapped by tunnelling 40m into the hill,
ie. grass grows up to base of Monterey pines)..
.
During Reid's time there, the valuation increased marginally in
1899-1900 and again soon after, with Reid's address being given
as care of Rosstrevor Magill, South Australia, in c1909-10. JS Reid died in 1922, leaving
the property to the management of JS Reid jun..
.
The main garden elements are: sweeping lawns, box hedges, weeping beech and cherry, extensive hedges (holly, laurel), a hedged
`secret garden' with green house, mature firs, elm and chestnut ì
avenues. There is also a fountain and a wide spreading weeping elm to the rear of the house, near the tennis court..
