The Corbet Vernon tomb

"...chest tombs bearing effigies of the Corbet family - one with eighteen children portrayed and one with a single baby in swaddling clothes with rose and lily"

This may be true, and it was certainly the impression I also received from visiting the church, but I'm not at all sure. Sir Robert's will, available at [1] only mentions three sons and four daughters living in 1513. Add one dead, and who are all the others? There are certainly 3 male figures, in armour, and angels at each corner, but there are just too many figures on the tomb for them all to be children of Robert and Elizabeth - unless, of course, Elizabeth remarried and had more children, and they are included, but I can't find anything about this. Can anyone elucidate? Until then, I've been very cautions about labelling some of the funerary images.

John Marius Wilson Gazeteer entry - a suspected incomplete sentence (section Village)

The last sentence in the quoted entry looks suspiciously as if there has been some words omitted in transcription just before the final word (between Corbets and charities): Several mills are on the Roden, the church is ancient; has a tower and several stained windows; and contains ancient effigies and monuments of the Corbets charities". Somebody please check this against the printed version.Cloptonson (talk) 18:42, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
