BEDDINGTON CHURCH, SURREY.
PLATE, No. 35, 36.
BEDDINGTON CHURCH, SURREY.
The Church of Beddington, near Croydon, in Surrey, is thought to have
been erected by Sir Nicholas Carew, knight, lord of the manor, in the
early part of the fifteenth century. On the south side of the chancel is a
chapel, containing monuments for several persons of this family, to which it
was appropriated as a place of sepulture.
Plate I. shews one of the arches and columns which separate this chapel
from the chancel, together with one of the open screens which complete the
partition. The details of mouldings, both in the columns and screens, are
drawn on a large scale, with notes of reference.
Plate II. — Tomb of Sir Richard Carew.
Sir Richard Carew, the person commemorated by this monument, was a
man of great consequence in the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII. He
was created a knight-banneret at the battle of Blackheath, A. D. 1497, held
the office of sheriff of Surrey, and of Sussex, more than once; and was
appointed to the important trust of lieutenant of Calais by Henry VII. This
place continued in his keeping after the accession of Henry VIII., by whom
a patent for it was granted to Sir Richard Carew, and Sir Nicholas, his son,
for the term of their lives. Sir Richard Carew died in 1520, and lies here
buried; together with his second wife, Malyne, daughter of Robert Oxenbridge,
Esq. of Forden, in Sussex. Their portraits, engraved on brass plates, are
affixed to the table of the tomb ; and round the edge are the following imperfect
remains of an inscription, also engraved on brass:—
