| | Abstract by Steven Edwards - 14 Apr 2004 | | Two alabaster effigies currently lie side by side in a canopied recess in the chancel of Broughton church, OXF. By the early 19th century they were lying broken, and were heavily restored in 1846. The female effigy is fairly certainly that of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Wykeham (formerly Thomas Perott, d.1443) and daughter of William Wilcotes (d.1412) and Elizabeth Trillow (d.1445). Evidence is proposed to indicate that the male effigy is of later date, and is William Fiennes, 2nd Lord Saye and Sele, who died 171 at the battle of Barnet where fought on the Yorkist side. It is postulated the male effigy was brought in to replace a damaged one of Elizabeth's husband, Thomas Wykeham. William Fiennes was married to Margaret Wykeham (d.1477) the granddaughter of Thomas Wykeham and Elizabeth Wilcotes. The genealogy and heraldry (with colour illustrations) of these families is explored. |
