José Ferrer (1912- 1992) was an American actor and film director, who was born in Puerto Rico. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his title role in Cyrano de Bergerac (1951). Ferrer was frequently used as a villain in his later film career.
José Ferrer was born José Vicente Ferrer de Otero y Cintrón in San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico in 1912. Ferrer's father was Rafael Ferrer, a lawyer, landowner and author who was born and raised in San Juan. Ferrer's mother was María Providencia Cintrón, a native of the coastal town of Yabucoa. Ferrer's paternal grandfather was Dr. Gabriel Ferrer Hernández, who had campaigned for Puerto Rican independence from the Spanish Empire. The Ferrer family moved to New York City in 1914, when José was 2 years old. As a school student, Ferrer was educated abroad at the Institut Le Rosey, a prestigious boarding school located in Rolle, Switzerland. According to the wishes of his father, José should become a concert pianist. Ferrer studied architecture, music and composition at Princeton University. He wrote a dissertation called French Naturalism and Pardo Bazán, about the Spanish naturalist writer Emilia Pardo Bazán. In 1934, Ferrer transferred to Columbia University, where he studied Roman languages. In 1934, while still a college student, Ferrer made his theatrical debut in Long Island-based theatre. In 1935, he was hired as the stage manager at the Suffern Country Playhouse. Later in 1935, Ferrer made his Broadway debut in the comedy play 'A Slight Case of Murder' by Damon Runyon and Howard Lindsay. Ferrer had a major success on Broadway in the play 'Brother Rat' by John Monks Jr. and Fred F. Finklehoffe. The play ran 577 performances from 1936 to 1938. Very successful were also 'Mamba's Daughters (1938) and 'Charley's Aunt' (1940). Even more successful was the 1943 play 'Othello' in which he co-starred as the villainous Iago opposite the Othello of Paul Robeson. 'Othello' was the longest-played Shakespeare play in the United States. The record remains unbroken to this day. In 1946, Ferrer starred in 'Cyrano de Bergerac', his most successful play. He won a Tony Award for his performance. In 1948, Ferrer made his film debut by co-starring with Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Arc (Victor Fleming, 1948). He played the historical monarch Charles VII of France, the ruler who Joan of Arc served during the Hundred Years' War. For his debut role, Ferrer was nominated for an Oscar for Best Male Supporting Actor. Ferrer's success as a film actor, helped him gain more film roles in Hollywood-produced films. He played the smooth-talking hypnotist David Korvo in the Film Noir Whirlpool (Otto Preminger, 1949) with Gene Tierney, and dictator Raoul Farrago in the Film Noir Crisis (Richard Brooks, 1950) starring Cary Grant. In 1950, Ferrer won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Cyrano de Bergerac in the film version, Cyrano de Bergerac (Michael Gordon, 1950). He was the first Puerto Rican actor and also the first Hispanic actor to win an Academy Award.
In 1952, José Ferrer won three Tony Awards for directing three plays, namely 'The Shrike', 'Stalag 17' and 'The Fourposter' and he won another Tony for acting in 'The Shrike'. In 1952, Ferrer played the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the historical drama Moulin Rouge (John Huston, 1952). His role earned him an Oscar nomination, but the award was instead won by Gary Cooper. The film also marked a financial success for Ferrer, who received 40% of the film's profits. In 1954, Ferrer took on the role of defence attorney Barney Greenwald in The Caine Mutiny. From 1955 onwards, he also directed a number of films, most of which he also starred in as an actor. First, he directed a film version of The Shrike (José Ferrer, 1955). I Accuse! (José Ferrer, 1958) is a reimagining of the Dreyfus Affair. While still critically well-received, several of these films were box office flops. He took a hiatus from film productions. In 1959, he directed a play called 'The Andersonville Trial', about the consequences of the American Civil War. The play featured George C. Scott. He then took over directing the musical 'Juno'. After sixteen performances, the musical stopped due to a lack of success, which was a setback for Ferrer's directing career. Ferrer attempted a comeback as a film director with the sequel film "Return to Peyton Place" (1961) and the musical film "State Fair" (1962). Both films were box office flops. As an actor, Ferrer appeared as a Turkish Bey in the historical drama Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean, 1962) with Peter O'Toole, as historical monarch Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea in the Bible epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and Ship of Fools (Stanley Kramer, 1965).

Church of St Andrew, Bere Ferrers Devon
There has been a church here, looking over the River Tavy since the Saxon era. The church now consists of nave, chancel, long north and south transepts, north chapel, south aisle, west tower and south porch. the River Tavy, since the Saxon era.
Shortly after 1066, the Normans built a new church from which the 12c font of Hurdwick stone from Tavistock, lined with lead and large enough to allow for complete immersion, is a survivor www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/
This church was replaced c 1243 by Sir William de Ferrers d1280 who lies with one of his wives under an arch north of the chancel altar. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/ca39t9BYh6 He founded an Arch Presbytery, with 4 priests and a deacon under an Arch Priest. The first rector was William's younger brother Reginald de Ferrers, who was installed in 1258. The clergymen lived across the road from the church, with their quarters joined by an underground passage. Supported by choirboys they said daily prayers for the souls of Sir William and his wife from one of 5 altars throughout the day & night.
The presbytery was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1533, but even today the rector of Bere Ferrers bears the title of Arch Priest.
In the north transept is an effigy widely thought to be William's son, Sir Reginald de Ferrers 1315 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/r0jB3k16m6
c 1332, Sir William's grandson, son of Reginald, another William, extended the church, in part with money from a successful silver mine nearby . However the success of the mine came to the attention of Edward I who annexed it for the Crown & and ordered the silver to be sent to London.
This Sir William is thought to be the knight kneeling in the wonderful 14c stained glass in the chancel east window being the oldest glass of any parish church in Devon. Sir William a model of the church and a latin inscription says "Wills Fereys me fecit". (William Ferrers made me) www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/AkPRBc972g Opposite kneels his wife Matilda Carminow. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/M10UA12545 Between them Christ in Majesty stands in the centre panel Below is a likeness of a pilgrim. Above are roundels with the dead rising from their graves on the day of judgement.
The building was extended again in the 15c when the south transept was enlarged to create an aisle, possibly followed by the tower. Despite this, and later 17c remodelling of the interior, much of what we can see today is unaltered 14c work
All restored in 1871
Near the altar a small brass plaque marks the spot of the tragic accidental death in 1821 of antiquarian artist Charles Stothard who fell from a ladder whilst making sketches of the chancel stained glass. A note in his pocket from his wife, said 'Take care not to fall from high places'. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/T5Mm35Bq0q
On the north wall of the chancel is a memorial to 10 New Zealand soldiers who were killed at Bere Ferrers rail station in 1917. The men got off a troop transport train, believing they were alighting at Exeter station to receive food rations. At the same instant, an express train passed in the other direction, and the men were instantly killed. A New Zealand flag hangs from the wall beside the memorial, a gift from High Commissioner Bryce Harland in 1989. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/YVbG5F9rQh
Also in the transept is a beautifully decorated table tomb thought to be that of the 2nd Baron Willougby de Broke, who died in 1522 at Bere Barton, the victim 'of a pestilence'. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/7RA8y7N0s3
Between the chancel and nave are remnants of a medieval screen, with defaced likenesses of saints. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/7eB6Ch5E8z
The arch-braced timber roof dates from the restoration in 1985-6.

A Dominican tertiary, "St Catherine de’ Ricci became especially well known for her ecstasies of the Passion. From 1542 to 1554, each Thursday and Friday she experienced in a trance the events of Christ’s passion, “acting out” its episodes herself. While in the same trance she would unconsciously exhort those about her with an eloquence beyond her native talent. She also received on her own body the stigmata (the wounds) of Christ’s Passion."
This stained glass window is from St Vincent Ferrer in NYC, and today (4 Feb) is her feast day.
There's nothing more cathartic after a long day at work than to paint colour selectively back into an image after desaturating it.
By no means a great shot but a bit of fun nonetheless.

"Almighty God,
through the preaching of Saint Vincent
you have taught us to walk
the narrow way to the kingdom of heaven
in expectation of the coming of our Saviour.
Through his intercession,
may we be fervent in action and love,
seeking not this earthly city
but the one that is to come.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen."
Today, 5 May, the Order of Preachers celebrates the feast of one of her most illustrious saints, Vincent Ferrer. In the Order the feast is moved from 5 April so that it can be fittingly celebrated outside of Lent/Holy Week.

The Nave was built c. 1260–70 with north and south aisles. The Chancel was re-built c 1290. Early in the 14c the aisles were re-built.
In 15c the timber south porch was built, followed later in the same century by the tower . This tower fell in 1703, was re-built in brick in 1715, since removed, the stumps of the side walls remaining. A small spire and belfry were added in 1793.
The church was repaired in the 1880s, when the east walls of the chancel and south aisle were largely re-built and the north vestry added. At that time a 16c Doom wall painting was discovered over the chancel arch.

On 5 May, the Order of Preachers celebrates the feast of one of its greatest preachers and miracle-workers, St Vincent Ferrer.
This stained glass of the saint is in the church of St Dominic in Washington D.C.
St Vincent Ferrer, said to be of Scots or English parentage, was born in Valencia and joined the Dominicans at the age of 17. In 1399, with the approval of the Pope, he set out on his mission as a preacher. For twenty years he travelled through western Europe, with thousands flocking to hear him wherever he was. From 1408 he worked mostly south of the Pyrenees. Among others, he preached to the Jews, of whom some 25,000 were converted to Christianity; and in the Kingdom of Granada he converted thousands of Muslims. In 1417 he moved on to Brittany and continued his work there: he died in Vannes in Brittany on 5 April 1419. Today is his feast day in the Universal Church.
This statue of the Saint is from Old St Patrick's Basilica in New York City.

9th September 2024 - Bere Ferrers, West Devon, UK.
This is a station on the Tamar Valley Branch Line. The buildings on the left now house the Tamar Belle heritage centre (link below)
"In those regions on the other side of the mountains I found many valleys of heretics, both Waldensians and the peverse Gazarites, especially in the diocese of Turin.
I visited all of them, preaching in each of them the faith and doctrine of Catholic truth, along with the proof of their errors. By the mercy of God they ardently accepted the truth of the faith with reverence and great sentiments of devotion. The Lord indeed aided and confirmed my preaching.
I discovered that a principle reason for heresies and errors in these places was a lack of preaching. As I correctly perceived from the inhabitants there, thirty years had elapsed during which no one had preached to them but the Waldensian heretics, who would come to them twice a year from Apuleia. Imagine, Reverend Master, what great blame is laid on prelates of the Church and others who, by reason of their office or their profession, are responsible for preaching to such persons, but instead take their ease, enjoying themselves in their pretty rooms in the large towns and villages. In the meantime souls, for whose salvation Christ died, are perishing from lack of spiritual nourishment, since there is no one to break bread for these little ones. The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Hence I pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into his harvest."
– from a letter of St Vincent Ferrer, whose feast is transferred to this day (5 May) in the Dominican Order.
This painting of St Vincent is in the museum at Santa Sabina in Rome.

José Ferrer (1912- 1992) was an American actor and film director, who was born in Puerto Rico. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his title role in Cyrano de Bergerac (1951). Ferrer was frequently used as a villain in his later film career.
José Ferrer was born José Vicente Ferrer de Otero y Cintrón in San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico in 1912. Ferrer's father was Rafael Ferrer, a lawyer, landowner and author who was born and raised in San Juan. Ferrer's mother was María Providencia Cintrón, a native of the coastal town of Yabucoa. Ferrer's paternal grandfather was Dr. Gabriel Ferrer Hernández, who had campaigned for Puerto Rican independence from the Spanish Empire. The Ferrer family moved to New York City in 1914, when José was 2 years old. As a school student, Ferrer was educated abroad at the Institut Le Rosey, a prestigious boarding school located in Rolle, Switzerland. According to the wishes of his father, José should become a concert pianist. Ferrer studied architecture, music and composition at Princeton University. He wrote a dissertation called French Naturalism and Pardo Bazán, about the Spanish naturalist writer Emilia Pardo Bazán. In 1934, Ferrer transferred to Columbia University, where he studied Roman languages. In 1934, while still a college student, Ferrer made his theatrical debut in Long Island-based theatre. In 1935, he was hired as the stage manager at the Suffern Country Playhouse. Later in 1935, Ferrer made his Broadway debut in the comedy play 'A Slight Case of Murder' by Damon Runyon and Howard Lindsay. Ferrer had a major success on Broadway in the play 'Brother Rat' by John Monks Jr. and Fred F. Finklehoffe. The play ran 577 performances from 1936 to 1938. Very successful were also 'Mamba's Daughters (1938) and 'Charley's Aunt' (1940). Even more successful was the 1943 play 'Othello' in which he co-starred as the villainous Iago opposite the Othello of Paul Robeson. 'Othello' was the longest-played Shakespeare play in the United States. The record remains unbroken to this day. In 1946, Ferrer starred in 'Cyrano de Bergerac', his most successful play. He won a Tony Award for his performance. In 1948, Ferrer made his film debut by co-starring with Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Arc (Victor Fleming, 1948). He played the historical monarch Charles VII of France, the ruler who Joan of Arc served during the Hundred Years' War. For his debut role, Ferrer was nominated for an Oscar for Best Male Supporting Actor. Ferrer's success as a film actor, helped him gain more film roles in Hollywood-produced films. He played the smooth-talking hypnotist David Korvo in the Film Noir Whirlpool (Otto Preminger, 1949) with Gene Tierney, and dictator Raoul Farrago in the Film Noir Crisis (Richard Brooks, 1950) starring Cary Grant. In 1950, Ferrer won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Cyrano de Bergerac in the film version, Cyrano de Bergerac (Michael Gordon, 1950). He was the first Puerto Rican actor and also the first Hispanic actor to win an Academy Award.
In 1952, José Ferrer won three Tony Awards for directing three plays, namely 'The Shrike', 'Stalag 17' and 'The Fourposter' and he won another Tony for acting in 'The Shrike'. In 1952, Ferrer played the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the historical drama Moulin Rouge (John Huston, 1952). His role earned him an Oscar nomination, but the award was instead won by Gary Cooper. The film also marked a financial success for Ferrer, who received 40% of the film's profits. In 1954, Ferrer took on the role of defence attorney Barney Greenwald in The Caine Mutiny. From 1955 onwards, he also directed a number of films, most of which he also starred in as an actor. First, he directed a film version of The Shrike (José Ferrer, 1955). I Accuse! (José Ferrer, 1958) is a reimagining of the Dreyfus Affair. While still critically well-received, several of these films were box office flops. He took a hiatus from film productions. In 1959, he directed a play called 'The Andersonville Trial', about the consequences of the American Civil War. The play featured George C. Scott. He then took over directing the musical 'Juno'. After sixteen performances, the musical stopped due to a lack of success, which was a setback for Ferrer's directing career. Ferrer attempted a comeback as a film director with the sequel film "Return to Peyton Place" (1961) and the musical film "State Fair" (1962). Both films were box office flops. As an actor, Ferrer appeared as a Turkish Bey in the historical drama Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean, 1962) with Peter O'Toole, as historical monarch Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea in the Bible epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and Ship of Fools (Stanley Kramer, 1965). In television, Ferrer gained a notable role as the narrator in the pilot episode of the hit sitcom Bewitched (1964). In 1968, he featured as a voice actor, playing the villain Ben Haramed in the TV film The Little Drummer Boy. But at this time, he started having legal troubles. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accused Ferrer of still owing unpaid taxes since 1962.

San Vicente Ferrer / St. Vincent Ferrer
Late 18th or early 19th Century
FILIPINO
Solid Ivory with parcel gold gilding and polychromy.
Dimensions: 8 in X 3.5 in W X 2 in D (20 cm X 8.75 cm X 5 cm).
Provenance: Collection of Dr. Porfirio J. and Mrs. Socorro Rodriguez Callo
A solid ivory image of St. Vincent Ferrer. Excellently detailed and beautifully carved. The body is of solid ivory. Head and hands are carved separately and doweled in. Eyes painted. Original bronze wings and halo extant. In excellent state or preservation. The parcel gilding is exquisite. Miraculously, all the digits of the hands survive and are intact.
The saint is carved wearing the traditional habit of the Dominicans. He is wearing a tunic edged with gold gilding in foliate and floral forms. Over the tunic, one can observe the presence of both the cincture (belt) and the rosary. Attached to and dangling from the rosary is the scapular. Over the tunic, the image is dressed in a cappa or cape with a capuce or hood. Interestingly, the hood is stylistically carved to fold dramatically on the sides to frame the saint's face. The saint's left hand is shown pointing to heaven while the left gathers and holds his cape at the waist which is typical of 18th century images of San Vicente. Latter 19th century versions show the saint holding a book on the right hand while the left still points heaven-ward.
On verso, the hood is more interestingly delineated. Further, the saint is wearing a shawl also edged with gilded rococo foliate forms. Most interesting of all, the saint is shown with a faint shadow of hair on the nape simulating fresh growth. The saint's gilded shoe-clad feet peep under his voluminous gown.
_________________________________________________
Note 1: San Vicente is shown with wings -- not because he is an angel or that he ever flew during his lifetime. Rather, he is shown wings because he was called "the angel of the last judgement" by one of his biographers. He was also known for his powers of"levitation" and "bilocation" hence the wings.
Note 2: Initially attributed to the mid-19th century based on the realistically carved facial features and the almost too-bright state of the parcel gilding. However, the carved eyes lead one to believe that the image was carved in a earlier period. More probably late 18th or early 19th century. By the middle of the 19th century, very few solid ivory pieces were being carved as there was already a shortage of supply. Also, most images carved in the mid 19th century had inset glass eyes to create an effect of greater realism.
Note 3: The 18th century attribution is strengthened by a strikingly similar treatment of the cowl found on a image of the San Vicente in the Que collection and displayed at the Ayala Museum as part of the Power Faith Image exhibition in 2004-2005.
It is my opinion that this piece is far superior in carving and execution to the Que San Vicente.

Today is the transferred feast of St Vincent Ferrer, the Valencian saint of Anglo-Scottish descent who was one of the Dominican Order's greatest preachers.
This triptych above the High Altar of St Vincent's in New York is by New York artist Alfredo Mira.
The great humility of this saint appeared amidst the honors and applause which followed him.
During his life Saint Vincent freed more than seventy people from the Devil and many more were freed at his tomb. He raised more than twenty-eight people from the dead and four hundred sick people were cured by resting on the couch where he had lain during his illness.
The change of a sinful heart is even a greater miracle than wondrous temporal benefits. Saint Vincent was not wanting here as we have seen; thousands of sinners became penitent, including Jews and Moors.
Yes, the blind see; the deaf hear; paralytics walk; the plague-stricken are healed; the faithless believe; sinners repent; the unstable grow steadfast; the idle find energy; sworn enemies embrace; the hard of heart find their hearts on fire. And beside the miracles that affect men, storms are stilled, rain stops, rocks are split, lightning flashes from the sky. Heaven itself opens and saints, angels, the Mother of God and her Son come forth. What must be must be – God will have it so. The prayer of a saint is omnipotent – if God decides to grant it.
"Once humility is acquired, charity will come to life."
ST. VINCENT FERRER (1350 – 1419) PRAY FOR US!

Este queso lo elabora la quesería Cal Music. Se trata de un proyecto pequeño, en un pueblecito pequeño. El Mujal, en el término de Navàs, tiene tres calles y una cincuentena de habitantes. Entre ellos una joven pareja, Martí Just y Lourdes Casas, junto a sus dos hijos, que han llevado un poco de ‘vitalidad’.
El queso presenta forma de rueda, con una corteza natural frotada con agua y sal de montaña, de Cambrils (Solsonès), de color asalmonado. Una de las características que hace muy atractivo este queso es el color de su pasta: de un amarillo muy intenso, casi anaranjado, que le otorga el alto contenido de caroteno de la leche. El aspecto de pasta es compacto con presencia de pequeños ojillos y grietas de origen mecánico. En nariz cautiva, ofreciendo unos aromas intensos y complejos, fruto de su larga maduración, donde dominan las notas dulces que nos recuerdan el toffe y los frutos secos, acompañadas de los aromas afrutados de fruta desecada, orejones e incluso aún conserva notas de pasto.
En boca es un queso que, pese a su larga maduración, preserva una textura mantecosa y un tacto elástico, fruto de la cocción de la pasta. Amplio, sabroso y muy bien equilibrado, es largo y persistente. Es un queso con mucha personalidad, que ofrece un conjunto olfativo y gustativo muy atractivo para todos los públicos. Si tenemos la paciencia de dejarlo fundir en la boca, sin masticarlo, podrá disfrutarlo con toda su plenitud.
El Ferrer, presentado en sociedad el 7 de abril de este año 2022, ganó la medalla de Oro en su categoría y posteriormente se impuso a todo el resto de medallas de Oro del concurso ganando el título de Mejor Queso Catalán Lactium 2022. El Ferrer hacía escasamente un mes que había sido ganador del primer premio en la categoría de Quesos de Vaca Curados en el concurso de quesos del 35º Salón Gourmets celebrado en el recinto ferial Ifema de Madrid.

Church of St Andrew, Bere Ferrers Devon
There has been a church here, looking over the River Tavy since the Saxon era. The church now consists of nave, chancel, long north and south transepts, north chapel, south aisle, west tower and south porch. the River Tavy, since the Saxon era.
Shortly after 1066, the Normans built a new church from which the 12c font of Hurdwick stone from Tavistock, lined with lead and large enough to allow for complete immersion, is a survivor www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/
This church was replaced c 1243 by Sir William de Ferrers d1280 who lies with one of his wives under an arch north of the chancel altar. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/ca39t9BYh6 He founded an Arch Presbytery, with 4 priests and a deacon under an Arch Priest. The first rector was William's younger brother Reginald de Ferrers, who was installed in 1258. The clergymen lived across the road from the church, with their quarters joined by an underground passage. Supported by choirboys they said daily prayers for the souls of Sir William and his wife from one of 5 altars throughout the day & night.
The presbytery was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1533, but even today the rector of Bere Ferrers bears the title of Arch Priest.
In the north transept is an effigy widely thought to be William's son, Sir Reginald de Ferrers 1315 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/r0jB3k16m6
c 1332, Sir William's grandson, son of Reginald, another William, extended the church, in part with money from a successful silver mine nearby . However the success of the mine came to the attention of Edward I who annexed it for the Crown & and ordered the silver to be sent to London.
This Sir William is thought to be the knight kneeling in the wonderful 14c stained glass in the chancel east window being the oldest glass of any parish church in Devon. Sir William a model of the church and a latin inscription says "Wills Fereys me fecit". (William Ferrers made me) www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/AkPRBc972g Opposite kneels his wife Matilda Carminow. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/M10UA12545 Between them Christ in Majesty stands in the centre panel Below is a likeness of a pilgrim. Above are roundels with the dead rising from their graves on the day of judgement.
The building was extended again in the 15c when the south transept was enlarged to create an aisle, possibly followed by the tower. Despite this, and later 17c remodelling of the interior, much of what we can see today is unaltered 14c work
All restored in 1871
Near the altar a small brass plaque marks the spot of the tragic accidental death in 1821 of antiquarian artist Charles Stothard who fell from a ladder whilst making sketches of the chancel stained glass. A note in his pocket from his wife, said 'Take care not to fall from high places'. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/T5Mm35Bq0q
On the north wall of the chancel is a memorial to 10 New Zealand soldiers who were killed at Bere Ferrers rail station in 1917. The men got off a troop transport train, believing they were alighting at Exeter station to receive food rations. At the same instant, an express train passed in the other direction, and the men were instantly killed. A New Zealand flag hangs from the wall beside the memorial, a gift from High Commissioner Bryce Harland in 1989. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/YVbG5F9rQh
Also in the transept is a beautifully decorated table tomb thought to be that of the 2nd Baron Willougby de Broke, who died in 1522 at Bere Barton, the victim 'of a pestilence'. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/7RA8y7N0s3
Between the chancel and nave are remnants of a medieval screen, with defaced likenesses of saints. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/7eB6Ch5E8z
The arch-braced timber roof dates from the restoration in 1985-6.
