Barkham Memorial

Sir Edward Barkham's will says rather clearly in the second paragraph ....

"My will and mynd is that my bodie shallbee buried within the chappell of the Church of Southacre in the Countie of Norfolk within the vault of the North side of the chancell there which I lately made for that purpose without any name pomp or great solemnitie onely with decency and upon buriall lying as shall seeme best to my Executors"

Well he got his wish in terms of where to be buried but I'm not so sure about the 'solemnitie and pomp' part by 1654 a rather splendid alabaster memorial had been positioned off the aisle of St Georges in South Acre.

Edward rests with Jane, his wife, on the top of the mausoleum while his son's and daughters kneel in prayer on the front edge with the bones of past Barkham's piled high between them.

To the left of the mausoleum on the wall is a memorial in Latin
