The Manner tombs include one for Sir George Manners (d 1623), his wife Grace who founded the Lady Manners School, and their 9 children. There is also a gravestone of John Manners, 3rd son of Sir John Manners who died in 1590, aged just 14. Also a monument to Sir John Manners (d 1611) and his wife Dorothy (d 1584) below which are 4 figures representing their children. There is also the Woodruffe Brass (which I didn't get a photo of set up by the Duke of Rutland. <br /><br />Fascinating stuff History - wish there were more hours in the day so I could pursue all my interests!!

It really was a superb church with so much of interest. Wish I could have got more photos of the crosses (shame about the rain!!). Will have another look at the Church guidebook and see if I can find any more information on the Manners and let you know via a comment later or tomorrow. Thanks again David.

I didn't realise that the Manners had any connection with Bakewell and I wonder if they are the same branch as the current Dukes of Rutland? The Anglo-Scandinavian Cross is also a fascinating object and considering its age relatively well preserved.<br /><br />Many thanks again for this tour of Bakewell and its church, and kindest regards to all :-)Grosmontinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021561871348219451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-67455688074010865352015-05-08T22:53:17.707+01:002015-05-08T22:53:17.707+01:00Countryside Tales - Thanks CT.

I bow to your superior knowledge and yes, I can see the angel wings too :) The information on the fragments and crosses came from boards inside the church so not quite sure who wrote up the information. <br /><br />The crosses are well worth a look if you go to Bakewell again.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-40188410555672992842015-05-08T08:11:37.500+01:002015-05-08T08:11:37.500+01:00I don't know about Norse mask but if you look ...I don't know about Norse mask but if you look carefully I think you will see wings - so it's actually an Angel! I don't know who wrote their guide book but they didn't do a degree in archaeology (I studied the Pictish stones and Romilly Allen so know a little of wot I speak!) The carved stone inside the church with the concentric rings is MUCH earlier than Medieval or Saxon and dates back to the Neolithic! <br /><br />Interesting post though, with some super photos - LOVE Misericord carvings.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-82626882841981333542015-05-07T21:04:56.591+01:002015-05-07T21:04:56.591+01:00It's a stunning church, all the carvings in th...It's a stunning church, all the carvings in the stone work and wood are amazing.

I have a book on Gargoyles and several on the Green Man :) I did get a book (at Ludlow from memory) on misericords but that was just about the ones at that church. I will certainly let you know if I find anything - in fact, off to check now!
