JANE BLENERHAYSETT (nee TYNDALL) d.6-Oct-1521

2nd wife of JOHN BLENERHAYSETT, Esquire (I) d.27-Nov-1510

Monumental Brass

Description from the Hamline University Brass Rubbing Collection:

"This full face effigy of Jane Blennerhassett portrays her in ordinary dress and wearing the pedimental headress, its plain lappets falling in front, a veil attached to the top of the headdress falling behind the shoulder. She wears a floor-length gown with turned back fur cuffs. An ornamental girdle is fastened at the waist by a round clasp in front from which falls a linked chain with either a tassel or a metal tag end."

[BLOMEFIELD 2nd ed. v.1 1805, p.142] describes this (incorrectly): "on a stone by the south door is the effigies of a woman bidding her beads".

Inscription on brass expanded:

Pray for the soul of Jane Blenerhaysett, widow, late wife of John Blenerhaysett Esquire, which Jane departed out of this present life the 6th day of October the year of our Lord God 1521, on whose soul Jesus have mercy, Amen.
