The Beresford Tomb, Fenny Bentley

[poliphilo]

The life-sized, shrouded effigies of Sir Thomas Beresford and his wife Agnes on their tomb in Fenny Bentley church. Their many children are represented- also shrouded- around the sides of the tomb. Sir Thomas and some of his sons fought at Agincourt.

I've no idea. And I doubt any record remains. I'd like to think that whoever commissioned the tomb (presumably one of the Beresfords) had a taste for the morbid and bizarre.
