One of the most elaborate memorials I have seen in a small parish church.

 

St Mary the Virgin, Fawsley, Northamptonshire

The village of Fawsley disappeared in the eighteenth century when most of the parish became part of the landscaped park of nearby Fawsley Hall. This has left the parish church sitting the middle of an otherwise empty field.

 

 

 

The church has an outstanding collection of brasses, chest tombs and wall

monuments dating from the 16th to 19th century.
