Summary
Description SirEdwardMore Died1623 BroadhemburyChurch Devon.PNG |
English:
Mural monument north side of chancel Broadhembury Church, Devon, to Sir Edward More (c.1555–1623) of Odiham in Hampshire, a Member of Parliament. One of his two daughters and co-heiresses was Elizabeth More, who married Sir Thomas Drewe (d.1651) of The Grange in the parish of Broadhembury in Devon, Sheriff of Devon in 1612. Although the inscription is erased he can be identified by the top escutcheon which shows in the first of four quarters the arms of More:
Sable, a swan argent a bordure engrailed or
. The other two escutcheons lower down are totally blank/effaced. His will (transcript of will of Sir Edward More, dated 24 April 1623 (National Archives PROB 11/141/530)
[1]
) requested burial in the chancel of Odiham Church. It thus appears that this monument was erected by his daughter Elizabeth Drewe.
Stabb, in his
Some Old Devon Churches
, wrote:
"On the north wall of the chancel is a monument with the figure of a man kneeling at a desk, which is supported by an angel. He is arrayed in ruff, long robe over the shoulders, and full pantaloons; it is supposed to be in memory of Sir Thomas Drewe, but the inscription is indecipherable"
. The arms do not support this attribution as the well-known arms of Drewe (
Ermine, a lion passant gules
) are not shown in the first quarter.
