Heirlooms in the Chapel and House at Stonor

140. HEIRLOOMS IN THE CHAPEL AND
HOUSE AT STONOR

[1474 ?]

    The reference to Mistress Jane suggests that this document was drawn up
after the death of Thomas Stonor in 1474. The mother of Thomas Stonor
(d. 1431) was also called Joan or Jane, but she had married again and died
long before 1431, and is hardly likely to have been referred to as "Mastres
Jane Stonor". On the alabaster tables, see English Mediaeval Alabaster
Work (Society of Antiquaries, 1913), p. 35, and Plates V and XIX; retables
dealing with the Passion seem to have been characteristic of the period 1420
to 1460. The original is stained with dirt and in places difficult to decipher.
From Ch. Misc., 37, iv, 11.
