Effigy of William Clopton, lord of the manors of Radbrooke & Quinton, who died on 7th Sept 1419 moved from the south aisle chapel to under the arch of the south arcade between the south aisle and nave in 1739.
William was the son of (?) Mary Charlton 1st wife of John Clopton, who was later 1st husband of Juliana 1411 daughter of John Morehall and Agnes Beysin; who m2 (1st wife) Thomas Crewe 1418 MP of Wixford flic.kr/p/aimLwe
Probably a minor when his father John Clopton died, his step mother's 2nd husband Thomas Crewe was however a man of some importance in Warwickshire. He was Chief Steward of Richard, Earl of Warwick, and of his Council and had been Knight of the Shire and Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire and also was for some years in the Commission of the Peace. As a trustee of Sir William's settlement of his estate, he held the Manors of Apsley, Wicksford and Morehall for life, under the assignment of Sir William Clopton, possibly in right of his (Crewe's) wife's dower.
William described as a "most religious, beneficient and charitable man" ,was the owner of large estates ranging from Warwickshire westwards to the Welsh Marches and nearby Clopton also had "divers other lands and manors in the Counties of Worcester, Stafford, Salop, and in the Marches
of Wales",

At the time of his death, his only son Thomas was aged 16. Three years later in 1422, possibly after the death of Thomas, his widow Joanna made an enfeoffment of her estates and
became a vowess (taking perpetual vows of widowhood before a bishop ) For a widow of ample means, this was a safeguard against unwelcome suitors.
The effigy of Sir William Clopton is much mutilated . It lies on a plain altar tomb. 6 ft. in length, and is represented in the armour of the period, but of a fashion somewhat earlier than the death of the deceased. The head, on which is a bascinet to which a small camail of mail is attached, rests on a double cushion, the upper one being placed lozenge wise. The features of the face are entirely obliterated. The body is encased in plate armour, with additional plates to protect the shoulders and elbows, genouiieres defend the knees, and solerets the feet, on which the spur-leathers appear, but
the spurs are broken off, as are the toes of the sollerels. The
feet rest on a dog, of which the head is gone, but the two fore legs appear under the feet of the effigy on the left side. Over the cuirass is worn a short jupon, apparently made of leather, escalloped at the bottom, on which his arms are displayed. The sword, of which the hilt only remains, was supported by a narrow belt passing diagonally across the body from above the right hip, and is kept steady by two other small straps underneath. A broad embroidered baldrick, decorated with little square ornaments, crosses the body horizontally, and is fastened with a buckle in front, to this the analace is attached on the right side. The hands are covered with cuffed gauntlets. Upon the breast appears an annulet, but whether it is attached to the wrist or to the jupon is nor known

Whiparella is so scary she even frightens the Book of Monsters. She is shaped like a snake, has a whip that will call out your deepest fear and her Spidergloblins turn into that fear. Her only personal fear is being called ‘Whimparella’ – which, of course, one of the knights does constantly.

By my count, there are twenty eight Marine CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters in this photo, and this wasn't even the entire row of them. There is a worker inside the first one. All of the helicopters at the Boneyard have had their rotors removed. I don't know if it's just so that they take up less space, or if the rotors are that readily re-used, or unusable.
The three large tail sections visible are C-141 Starlifters.

Not sure where this guy came from, but there's at least two of this kind running around my yard now.

The Red Knight is #98 in my 100 Strangers Project. His name is John and he works at Medieval Times. We went there for our eleven year old's birthday. It was what he wanted. It is quite the event. We had a meal and then watched a jousting show. The Red Knight happened to be our knight that we cheered for through the story. Turns out, he was the WINNER as well, which made it all the more special for us. It made our son's birthday. John has been doing martial arts for years and he came to Medieval Times for his sixteenth birthday and decided that is what he wanted to do. When he turned eighteen, he went for a job. He had never ridden horses but was trained for that part of his job. I asked him if he liked working there and he said yes, though it is tiring at times (the show is very physical) but it is quite the unique job. John was a doll and I wish him the very best!

The 5000 year old burial chamber, believed to be part of a Neolithic long barrow . The Knights are a small group of five upright stones 400 yards away from the Rollrights Stone Circle, who got their name because of the conspiratorial way in which they lean inwards towards each other as if they are plotting against their king.
