Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Elaborate white Beer stone monument sculpted with strapwork decoration, showing the prominent date "1589" but missing other inscription, standing against the east wall in the south transept of Otterton Church, Devon. It appears to commemorate the marriage of Richard III Duke (1567-1641) of Otterton, (whose monumental brass plaque survives on the west wall of Otterton Church but was formerly affixed as one of a pair to the side of this monument as the fixing holes show), son and heir of Richard II Duke, to Margaret Bassett, daughter of Sir Arthur Bassett (d.1586), MP, of Umberleigh. At its top it shows the arms of Duke impaling Bassett, with the Duke crest above, a griffin holding in its claws a chaplet, mutilated. The date 1589 appears to refer to the date of their marriage. |
