More about this scene

We can see the porch attached to the west tower, and also the good proportions of the building. Inside, the wide three-bay nave is tall and light with thin piers. Its arches to north, south and east are very tall too, and of Decorated style. In the north-east chapel, the monument of Sir William Sharington, who died in 1553, is dated 1566; it is said to be one of the finest pieces of mid 16th-century decoration in England. The tomb chest has carved strapwork cartouches, early Renaissance pilasters with arabesques, and other elaborate decoration.

It was at St Annes and was for my great aunt & uncle James and Sarah Dummer died 1934 & 1931 respectivly. Does anyone know of any transcriptions before lichen and time disfigured the memorials?
My father's cousin, Kitty Mortimer (nee Barratt) lived here with her husband Leslie, and their two daughters Andrea and Lynn - mostly throughout the '60s and '70s. I believe they rented the house from the National Trust, as I remember they had to open it to the public at least once a year.
