St Michael, Cropthorne, Worcestershire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
Parts of the Chancel date from 1100, and the tower is 12th century. A spire was planned, but never built. The rest of the church is 14th century. The church is most famous for the two fine tombs to the Dingley family.
Edward Dingley (1592 - 1646) is depicted with his wife Joyce. They are shown kneeling in mourning dress at a prie-dieu under a canopy supported by black marble columns. Their 4 sons and 3 daughters are shown as weepers below. One son died in infancy and is shown on a strange pedestal.
