The Chantry consisted of two storeys built onto the north side of the chancel. The doorway from the chancel into the chapel still survives. His son, Ralph, Lord Cromwell of Tattershall, Treasurer of England left most of his property to be used for charitable causes including the rebuilding of Lambley church and the placing of a ‘marble stone with two brazen immages shall be ordered and placedfittingly there above the tomb of my father and mother’. ---------------------------------------- Note: Complete Peerage, 3 (1913): 551-552 (sub Cromwell) has a good account of the life history of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, 1st Lord Cromwell. Regarding his marriage, Complete Peerage says the following: "He married before 20 June 1366, Maud, sister and heir of William (who died 18 December 1360), and daughter of John Bernake, of Tattershall aforesaid, by Joan, daughter and coheiress of John Marmion, Lord Marmion. He acquired with his wife the estate of Tattershall, county of Lincoln, livery being granted to them 18 March 1366/7, it having been in the king's hands owing to the death of Sir John de Kirketon ... She died 10 April 1419." Family Members Spouse Maud Bernacke de Cromwell 1337–1419 Children Maud Cromwell Fitzwilliam 1362 – unknown Elizabeth de Cromwell de Clifton 1364–1394 Inscription Pedimented tablet Dated 1830. "To Ralph Cromwell the elder first Baron Cromwell died 1398 and to his wife" Gravesite Details The church is remarkable for its lack of memorials. Those to the Cromwell family have long since become worn and illegible; the alabaster slabs to Lord Cromwell’s parents and grandparents are hidden beneath the carpet of the nave and chancel. |
