A hatchment is a memorial to a person who has died and is made up from the deceased's coat of arms There are three hatchments in the church. |
|
The other hatchment is for Mrs. Henrietta Sleorgin who has the raised tomb outside the east window. |
|
Shown above right is the hatchment of Charles Compton, 9th Earl and 1st Marquess of Northampton. |
|
If a person was significant due to his deeds in life, a text on the hatchment made the most of these achievements. |
|
In the bottom right corner the hatchment displays Nelson's white cross of The Order of Saint Joachim suspended from a green ribbon. |
|
Ignore the darker red and whitened silver, but note that the frets in the hatchment were thickened. |
|
The existence of a hatchment showing particular arms does not necessarily mean the person was entitled to bear them in accordance with the rules of the College of Arms. |
|
The tomb of Admiral Sir Isaac Smith is adjacent to the south side of the chancel and his funeral hatchment also hangs on the north aisle wall, near that of Nelson. |
